Race unlocking hairstyles, hempen sets, butt slider, customization, addressed:

[Automedius]

To anyone who didn't see the live letter or who wasn't paying attention, the hairstyles, hempen sets, and butt slider stuff got addressed by Yoshida.

Hairstyles: They plan on making SOME hairstyles race unlocked, and SOME of them remaining unique to that respective race.

Hempen sets: In order to make this happen, they would need to make the clothing ID and skin ID to not be so different and rather, indifferent, so it can happen.

Butt slider: He will talk to the graphics team about this and see what can be done, but says it in a very joking manner. (so, it may actually happen)

Customization (more face options): Character data is sent constantly back and forth between the game and the servers (JSON), which deals with packets. If they added more customization, it would increase packet size, causing stress on characters and the game.

If I messed anything up, please let me know.

The answers are, in short, "No".

This is not an answer to the actual question. They are talking about changing the 'underwear' appearance on a naked character, the actual question was about the hempen gear set which has a different appearance depending on which race equips it, and giving those different appearances to all races, which was not answered.

I had been disappointed by the no new race, no new tank and healer.... now this. I had really would have liked to see expanded character customization, I mean really really wanted to see that happen given the lack of the previous two things. *sighs* I may end up just retiring my Warrior of Light at this rate seeing the things I was really hoping for aren't happening.

I'm kind of surprised that they aren't planning to at least update the face types we already have. I feel like they could have gotten away with updating nose, mouth, eye (and maybe eyebrows too?) textures. I find that with the ability to zoom in so close with gpose now that it's very noticeable how most races just have a dark blur spot where their nostrils are, while I know Hyurs specifically have it much more defined.

Yes, the question about underwear was completely lost in translation. Now Yoshida thinks we all want to customise our default pants and bras.

Unfortunately they did not understand the question about the hempen set, likely because its a leftover of 1.0
Hopefully they get wind of the mistake and can address it properly ^^

Are minor cosmetic updates that will generally be covered up by gear anyway really more important than numerous new areas, reworked actions and UIs across all pre-existing classes, and presumably many more content updates to be revealed over the next few months?

I mean if you're the type who doesn't like any of that kind of content, then... I really question why you've stayed this long.

And thus some of my excitement is gone. :/
