Apperance change: Sooner than later, please?

[Amused]

This is something that is really bugging me. I love this game and I love playing it but I absolutely hate my character. It makes it so difficult for me to enjoy playing because I do not enjoy playing as my character. I don't want to restart because I'll lose all the progress I made but on the other hand 2.0 is still so very far away.

Please, I would be very grateful if you introduced a means to change our appearance before 2.0 comes out. I would most certainly be willing to pay for it.

Just a note but for some reason it doesn't allow me to post as my actual main character which is level 50 unlike this one.

Simmer down, now. This will be here in a couple of months with the 2.0 beta. Once it all goes live we will be able to edit our characters at relaunch.

The ONLY reason we're getting appearance change is due to the new client and engine, so it can't happen sooner than later lol.

You get to play around with it in under 2 months.

A couple of months? roflmao.

Unless you have all classes at 50 just restart. With the help of an ls, or even by yourself, you can get back up to speed fairly quickly lol.

That's a silly suggestion and I normally find myself agreeing with you.

Levelling is the easiest aspect, what about achievements, grand company progress, side quest progress, crafting and gathering levelling etc.

There is a lot more to this game than just DoW and DoM.

OP you are just guna have to wait, there is almost next to no reason to add this to 1.x and certainly won't be worth their time, just make sure you choose something you like at the start of 2.0 as I think this is a one time only deal.

Gotta agree. I just rolled this character less than a month ago, and I've already got Lancer to level 50, and I've got 3/4 DRG AF. I did about 90% of this solo, too. I didn't play every day, and on most days I played, I only did so for a couple hours.

The only thing I'd suggest is to find someone you trust to help you transfer stuff to your new character. I started 100% from scratch, and I kinda wish I'd saved some things.

Also, if you're the master of a linkshell, make sure you disband the shell (go the the NPC and have them break it), otherwise the shell will be in limbo, the GMs can't delete it, and you won't be able to use the name again.

I would restart because I want to experience the new areas that SE worked so hard to redesign.

Anyway back to topic, I think no matter what, everyone will be given a chance to change their appearances when 2.0 starts. I also think a barbershop is a great idea and needs to be implemented in 2.0.

How about you wait like the rest of us and stop trying to make minor things a priority? I mean, can't they finish the progress they're making with 2.0's development first before catering to a minority? It'd be nice to have an actual finished game...

Yes but 2.0 isn't coming until 2013 which is still half a year away.

I don't like burdening other people like that. I do have a nice linkshell but I think it would be rude for me to expect them to carry me through everything again.

Was it really necessary to be so rude? You do know that they have different people working on different aspects of the game. It's not like every part of the team drops whatever responsibility they have to work on a singular goal. I doubt creating something like this would hinder the progress 2.0 is making in the slightest.
