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

I would actually love it if the face stripes on miqo'te were separate from the faces, because I feel like that would give me so many more choices to play around with. Same for the horns on au ra tbh.

I've never played GW2 but the idea about the body types sounds like a solid idea.

Here's the thing - even with the body sliders, you'll never mistake a Norn for a Human. They have specific aspects about their proportions that the body types fit within. All the human body types have a range that looks human. All the Norn body types have a range that immediately pegs them as Norn.

And I'm personally all for that approach.

What some of the players here keep asking for (and in that wonderfully condescending way that just has to insult the current look) is for the sliders to include options that don't fit with the established body type. Sorry to those players, but an Elezen is more than just a pair of pointy ears.

But the kicker is, even Norn have a slider for head size...and you can still tell that they're Norn. Elezen with a slightly larger head will still look like Elezen.

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.

I would be happy with simply having new faces added for each race. I fail to see how that would cause so much stress on the servers.

[DarkRainGirl]

I would also like to see them use hair that is only for certain races to be for others as well as emotes those things make me want to change race but then i know if i do i wouldn't be able to change back for a long time cuz i would be broke!

There is never going to be any form of update to the character creator.

Get over it.
