Character customization and more RP choices suggestions

[HeavenlyPeaches]

Here are some of my suggestions if Character customization would ever get a rework

• More body sliders:
-Height
-Muscle
-Arms/Hands
-Shoulders/Waist/Hip ratio. or a selection menu. Like hourglass shape, Rectangle, Pear shape ect.
-Butt
-Breast
-Leg/Feet

• More options:
Separate things from faces like:
-Horns
-Clan marks
-Ears
-Hairs

• Remove ‘face’ option and let us select every option from all faces. OR create more face diversity. Its weird that Male Midlander's have like 6 face options while most have only 4.

• Unlock all face tattoo’s and other racial options (like mole’s, scars) and let you have 5 options on max if they don’t want to let people have all the options all at once.

• New options: Like more beards, Scars, Tattoo's
• Body tattoos/scars/freckles or Clan marks

• Multiple face markings. So people can do something like Blush and Freckles at the same time.

• Race specific:
-More shades for Au’Ra scales. Rean: Bone white to complete white. Xeala: Blue to Black.
-Make Hrothgar male hunch a toggle
-Separate hair highlights from fur pattern colour on Hrothgar
-More ear options or a slider for Miqo'te and Hrothgar.
-Viera ear wiggle's / Female miqo'te ear wiggles

• Let us choose a specific idle face.

• More Idle poses/Sitting poses/ Laying down poses/ Battle stance poses (like you can choose male and female stances for every job)

• More choices for emotes. Like different emotes for a 'Happy' personality and a 'Calm' one or 'Grumpy' one.

Let me know if there is something else, or other takes you might have! Thanks

Multiple face paints sounds like so much fun. I agree with all of this. I do know limbal rings are 'cosmetic' so having that option on everyone would be really neat. Same with different colored sclera.

I'm really hoping we get better hairstyles too, short of 'bold and braid' I've admittedly not really liked the new ones coming out (this is a matter of preference though ofc). There's not many options that look nice (admittedly again this is just my opinion).

[HeavenlyPeaches]

Yeah totally true. Idk if they would ever make limbal rings for all races tho? Since it's more Au'ra specific. Scelra would be cool for every race, I think only male Xeala Aura have that? Its wierd that Female Xeala Aura doesn't have that.

I think some hairstyles are allright coming out. I like the COD hair and the Hilda hair. That hair on the picture of the Alliance raid picture during the PLL isn't available yet but it does look really adorable to have....

Its kinda a hit or miss with Hairstyles aswell, Especially that you'd have to guess which ones will clip and how much they will clip D:

I'd like it if picking the twelve was optional, so I don't have to have a deity.

Body tattoos should be a thing already considering so many pieces of gear already have them as part of their design. I don't care if they are locked behind manuals like eyewear or hairstyles, give me unlockable body tattoos! The majority of modern games with customizable options generally have a plethora to pick from during the creation process...

Agreed. It would be cool to earn them in game aswell. And a few base ones to choose from

Can we please get equal skin tone options across all races? This kind of visual segregation makes no sense.

Why can't I play a Keeper of the Moon with a warm white-tan skin tone? Why is that look only available to Keepers of the Sun, while Moon Keepers are stuck with pale or albino-looking options? And don't say it's because of "moon vs sun", if that were the case, Moon Keepers shouldn't be able to walk around in daylight. But they clearly have darker blue and melanin-rich skin tones, which proves they can handle sun exposure. Since melanin increases with sun exposure, there's no reason to restrict skin tones by race. Every skin tone should be available to every race. Stop limiting players based on arbitrary visuals.

While we're at it, what's going on with the eyes? You're making it so Sun Miqo'te can't see at night, and Moon Miqo'te are basically blind during the day. All Miqo'te and cat-like races should have the same eye structure, either slitted or round, or better yet, code it so their eyes adapt to day and night like lamps do. It would make way more sense and actually reflect their feline traits.

Also, who decided Sun Miqo'te don't have fangs? That makes the least sense of all. Fangs are a core part of their identity and biology. Removing them for one clan feels arbitrary and unnecessary.

And please don't use "lore" as an excuse. That's what clan marks are for. There are better ways to distinguish clans than limiting skin tones, fangs, or eye shapes. Real-world tribes and clans don't work like that visually. These features should be customizable for roleplay, not locked by race.

Why can't Moon Miqo'te have a clanless face option? Let players choose how they want their character to look without being boxed in by outdated presets.

Also, for Au Ra, if red and green skin is an option, then red and green scales and horns should be too. It’s a simple fix that would make customization more consistent and inclusive.

Glad to see everyone wants more character customization

[Hallarem]

More casual emotes to make your character more expressive.
Cooking, knitting, drinking wine etc and make them CYCLE

The game is due more character customization. I don't think this game can last if 8.0 repeats the same formula of "New dungeons, new extremes, exciting msq" we need something that is tangible, something that is a WOAH factor like new gameplay - customization - anything that isnt just repeat repeat repeat.

And please OPEN UP MORE BUILDINGS for npcs, so we can also interact with houses in the world and cities. I'm tired of seeing shut doors everywhere and fake houses that have no inside. ITS LAZY

Female Seeker and Keeper have only three faces, because the only difference between face 1 and 3 is the clan marks. I think that a bunch of new face options should be a priority.
