Is the character creator's code that bad that they had to pull a Hrothgar to get Derplander's stubble in?

funny thing is according to one of the interviews I watched, the games engine isn't even holding it back. 1.0 spaghetti is a myth.
so either adding more options to the character creator is very low priority (because of the new races) or its hard to get devs with good knowlege of ARR's engine (because its a SE custom built monstocity) to add new features

1.0 was time and time again confirmed to be a nightmare to work with, though. It's not even the same engine as what they used for ARR.funny thing is according to one of the interviews I watched, the games engine isn't even holding it back. 1.0 spaghetti is a myth.

It doesn't need to be 1.0 spaghetti code to be a problem. 2.0 is its own separate bowl of hastily-assembled spaghetti and they just keep building on it as best they can.



Nobody knows whether it is spaghetti coding or not as long as we do not see the sourcecode of it.
I guess, they have huge problems with the data layer and not the game engine itself. It seems that the remove the belt slot to get space for other things. With a good data layer it is not a problem to add more space per player character. But if the inventory space is hardcoded somewhere and increasing this number breaks other things then it might be easier to drop something like the belt slots and reallocate the free space to other item slots.
Cheers



They haven't added any new face paint options since ARR either, apparently it was too hard or something, can't remember what it was from the excuse roulette.


I was kind of expecting it to be a piece of equipment like a helmet or a necklace
