Character name/appearance changes and the Beta/Launch transition?

[Nix]

All this means to me for sure is that all the options will be available in the CC, i.e. for new characters, but I haven't seen anything about when using the CC at all is possible for editing previous existing characters that get imported. We know it's going to happen, the question is when...

I wish I could answer your question ; ;. My guess is beta phase 4 or start of early access (if that is beta phase 4 then consider those the same thing lol)
I am eagerly waiting word from the devs too, I'm very curious!
