Thread: New Character Creation V2.0 and you

Is this something you would like added in extra. I actually like the idea of a mirror to change hair style and the such. I actually find the idea of using a barber kind of lame when you can just do your hair yourself!

I see what you mean about people not understanding, but that honestly would be their fault for not reading update notes.

Now that said it could be worded differently....like....
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Due to many changes in character design, we have given the ability to redesign your character (you will not lose any progress in this process)"
Yes
NO
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Understandable. If things are not compatible then it would force you to recreate. Not given an option to "would you like to recreate y/n". Am I correct? If this is the case then it should be told to us in advance if done so. This is the whole point is trying to figure out how things should be taken into consideration when this happens.

I would have to disagree with you on saying its peoples faults for not reading update notes. In no where when you purchase the game does it say "You are required to read update notes posted on the lodestone forums. If you take a break from the game for months you are still required to read the update notes. Please visit the Lodestone everyday to be sure you do not miss any update notes or patches that are introduced to the game. Failing to not log on and memorizing the giant wall of text we provide you will be on your shoulders. Thank you."

I like the way you worded it there. This is much better than "Do you wish to recreate. Y/N." But now is this a one time only thing? Should you not be able to play until you're ready to decide? I personally would like to be able to log in and see how the new races look before I'm ready to select a new race or keep the current one.
