Character creation

[Asmrran]

Oh yeah, when I said Rework I meant to completely change the gangly look of Elezen. But honestly body types could fix that problem, giving every race a few options (Average, Thin, Overweight, Muscular) kind of deal, or just giving more sliders on sections of the body to maybe balance out the weirder parts on Elezen lol

Uhm. No. Stop yourself.

More facial options sounds good though.

Err, I should of worded that better. I mean, keep the Elezen we have now but add more body types/sliders (like keep everyone's body right now as 'Average' and then add more) so maybe I can make an Elezen character look decent

Keep digging that hole.

Keep digging that hole.

in my honest opinion. I think Elezen don't look great and I wouldn't play them for their weird proportions. I can accept people like them as they are + adding more features to make them bearable for me and the many other players who actively avoid them due to the strange proportions.

I gave only a few examples with what I would like to see changed due to word count and not wanting to overwhelm people. My opinions on the character creator are vast!

I wish Au Ra would of been taken in the same direction of Midlander/Highlander where Raen Men/Women remain smaller and more delicate and Xeala Men/Women are muscular and tall.

I would also like to see Viera because with the upsetting height of Au Ra women and the lack of an anthro race over 5'3" and the major backlash I've heard for that is that they will have to redo all of the shoes in the game (and hell, they might already be working on that)

I don't think female Au Ra look great either. Rather than this being caused by S-E designing one of the races poorly, though, maybe it's just that we both have completely different taste?

More faces are fine. Good. But changing the very definition of my character's racial quirks to fit your personal aesthetic ideals is not so fine.

As i've already stated in this thread. Why not both? keep Elezen we have now and add options to change their body type. Because I don't think Elezen would lose their flare their 'it' factor if they added a body type with more hips/stomach (or an option to narrow in the shoulders. But that's just me). If you wanna keep the original look, go for it. But considering how widely disliked they are, more features could improve that. Muchless this isn't only directed at Elezen. I would love to see every race offered a few body type options.

Also I agree with you on Au Ra (see the post above)

[NolLacnala]

Uhm. No. Stop yourself.

I agree, forcibly changing the race would be bad. Giving us body options would go a long way towards moving elezen away from being one of the very least popular pointy eared races in any mmo.

I would actually consider playing one if they didn't run like a Fantasia broom and have the anatomy of savannah wildlife

If you don't like how Elezen look, why contemplate fantaing to an Elezen? They're not for you. Thats ok. They don't all have to be for everyone.

Elezen are beanpoles. Thats arguably their most defining trait. Take away the lankiness and you are left with a hyur with long ears. Saying you'd want to be an Elezen if they weren't Elezen-like is as dumb as me saying, “man, I sure would love playing a lala if they were tall, scaly, and muscular” when I could instead play a race that fits an aesthetic I actually like.
