117310-more-character-customization

== Content ==
			I'm one of those folks that spends about half an hour customizing my character before I make one. Any chances in the future of adding say like...tattoos, more face options?	
----
			
I drew up a few things I'd like to see added personally. I'm better at visual presentation.
 
These are really really rough, so forgive their crapiness....
 
 
Chua
Body types:
2 for warriors, 3 for stalkers..
 
 
 
 
 
 
Hairstyles:
 
 
 
 
 
 
Aurin:
Hair style proposals:
 
 
 
 
 
Facial hair for aurin male and females:
This is actually canon and so I made this after the post...
 
Granok:
Hair style:

+1
 
Wtb more body types please. Especially for granok and draken ladies.	
----
			
+1 for more faces, body types, hairstyles, etc...
 
You can never have too much customization, I say. :D
 
Also, excellent drawings, Ty!	
----
			They need some scars for draken ladies. Jewelry is cool and all but I'm a fricken DRAKEN. Battle scars are practically part of the culture!	
----
			
Those sketches are spectacular.
 
I'd also like to see some more skin color options as well

Ya know what style I'd love to see that for some reason every game I've played so far hasn't done, yet is so simple...
 
Bald/shaved option for women...
 
I'd like a bald Draken woman	
----
			
I would love more customization, but first of all, they really should give us female chua. Having only one gender is just lazy and stupid. It's bad enough that they have humans on both sides, but only one gender for chua too? :(
 
Other things I want to see is far more accessories, both in the character creator and as cosmetic stuff in-game. For instance, why can't we wear glasses? At all? Why are masks so hard to get? Why are there so few hats? The only cosmetic hats I know of are the beret and facehugger from the account inventory, as well as the two the shady merchant sells. That's about it. We should have had dozens to pick from when we made our character.

*Snips amazing art*

			I am desperate for more skin and hair colors and hair styles at the very least. There are so few of them. x.x	
----
			
I'll leave the mandatory "Let them concentrate on the REAL issues first!"  message here. There, now this feels like a proper forum discussion about anything that isn't PvP or endgame!
 
With that said, more options for customization is always good. It's probably not anywhere on Carbine´s priorities right now, mind, but if the game keeps going for long enough they'll add them eventually. I imagine the day they release all classes for all races (if ever) they'll drop a few more options as extras. But that's just my imagination.

Chua have two genders. They just don't follow your definitions of what they should look like.
----
			
Actually I think the idea of the chua as a race that people can't tell the gender of is a great idea. A little like how you'd be hard pressed to figure out if a mouse was male or female unless you really sat down and looked at it. Plus, it provides some amusing rp opportunities as well as a relatively safe haven for people uncomfortable with playing their gender.
 
However, with that said, such a race should have at least double the customization options, given the fact that you need a wide variety of possible looks so you can have more feminine, more masculine, and in between looks as the player wishes.

I'd be okay with them taking a page out of SE's book and releasing a couple new hairstyles every or every other patchish. That would even out the work load and give us something else to look forward to. Hair colors and skin colors, though, really shouldn't be overly difficult...

Sigh... do you really want to start this?
----
			
Sigh... fine, if you insist on starting this crap over and over again. Having only a single gender for Chua is lazy. There is absolutely no reason for it, and "a lot of people are fine with it" doesn't help. "A lot of people" are fine with having PvP only and removing all the quests. "A lot of people" are fine with a new Call of Duty every single year, and don't care if any other games are ever released. "A lot of people" are fine with Hollywood making yet another remake or reboot of a beloved series, without a single care about the franchise it's based on. So what "a lot of people" like isn't interesting.
 
Second, I never said anything about human rules for the genders. I said I want female chua. The chua we have now have a large selection of facial hair, so I can only assume they are male. This goes againt your idea about having a single gender. I mean, if they didn't have genders, there wouldn't be options to make them more male either, yet there are tons of it. So where are the options to make them more feminine? If I want facial hair, I can pick None or those whiskers. That's it. All the others are male facial hair. Regular hairstyles? Nothing partciular feminine stands out, yet there are several maskuline hairstyles. Even the clothes are mostly masculine. You don't see a chua in a dress, do you? Or with a low-cut shirt? Even high heels? That's because the chua are male.
 
Third, the lore was made for the game, and not the other way around. Why on earth did they decide to have only one gender for the very much living, organic, mating chua, but they have two genders for the robot mechari? If any race didn't need two genders, it would be them. How do mechari even reproduce? Chua are biological creatures, so I can only assume they do it in the "normal" way for biological creatures. But the mechari are machines, so why would they need two people to reproduce?
 
Fourth, the game really does need things to be unique, yes. But since when is a lack of features accepted as something that makes the game unique? If they want the race-stuff to be unique, there should be even more of them, not less. Lord of the Rings Online got away with male-only dwarves due to the lore, but again, Wildstar didn't have any lore. All the lore was created for the game. So if they wanted female chua, they would have had female chua. It's that simple.
 
Fifth, have you seen a single female chua in the game? At all? Correct me if I'm wrong, but so far, I haven't seen anyone. I'm not talking players, of course, but NPCs. Maybe there is a female chua somewhere, and I really, really hope so. But if there are female chua in the game, it makes even less sense to not let them be playable.
 
Do you want me to go on, or can we leave this discussion dead now? I only mentioned it as I figured it was obvious to add female chua to the "more customization" discussion. Why on earth would they give us tons more customization for the existing races, yet still not bother give us female chua? It doesn't make any sense.

			I forsee more options appearing over time.  just not likely anytime in the near future.

What I really want is the ability to choose makeup. For the Aurin, the most "normal" skin tone is super heavily caked with makeup, and looks totally trashy on all but one face. I'd like the option to manually remove makeup, but that's not possible right now, unfortunately.
 
I'd also like a bit more control over the facial structure. Cheek bone depth / width, forehead size, etc. Right now, all the faces look a lot alike. :P

Here's a quick sketch of a hair I've been wanting to suggest but never had the drive to actually draw it/explain it.

			Since you just repeated yourself with more words, I'll point out that you just made it very very obvious you don't get the point. Whether a Chua looks male or female because of facial hair (or any other feature) is your human bias, not a practical distinction amongst Chua. There are female Chua, and people play them. Just as many as the males, they just don't fit in your mental box.I'm all for more choices, I am not for making two overt genders. Add more choices, make them ambiguous or alien, then use it as an excuse to kill stupid humans who ask impertinent questions or make foolish assumptions.

I would absolutely love more customization.  That's why there's costumes, we MMO'ers get into that stuff.  +1 on all the stuff (um..minus the gender debate).
 
I also want a new race each side, actually...two...yes two new races each side.  I think the Exiles need representation of the Mustela genus (that's fherrets for those who don't know)...and I want them to have Warrior/Stalker/Medic option.  And chainsaws.  Definitely chainsaws.  What?  Stop looking at me like that! :ph34r:
 
Also, Cat people.  Like, Tigers/Cheetahs on one side, Lions/Pumas on the other side.  With a audio emote of purr and growl.  Have them be escaped/genetically engineered Chua experiments that got out on nexus and rapidly went forth to multiple. 
 
You can't lose if you got Mustela and Great Cats in your game, you just can't!!

Oh yes, this would work quite nicely with the fluid movement of the Aurin and it can be used by both male and female toons. I would choose the bunny ears myself for it.
 
Can I have it in purple please? :D

And yeah, just think how it would look during blade dance *o*

I'd like some sliders in body types and some sort of barber function, possibly with more options.
 
Loved the drawings in post #2! Pro skills there :D

			I thought it was fairly understood that when someone says "i want female Chua options" that we would all interpret it as "i want more feminine Chua options" so we dont have all these pointless arguments....

I'm always in support of new customization options.

			I think it'd be nice to have maimed, decorated, and prosthetic tail options...	
----
			Would also like to see more dark/metallic colors for Mechari (seriously, we have so many bright/colorful options and only one bluish silver look. Would like to see a gunmetal grey option. :D ).	
----
			Makeup options, tattoos, more hair options, more skin colors, and brighter eye colors whose vibrancy doesn't depend on ambient lighting.
