149645-character-creation-thwarted-by-naked-man

== Content ==
			
Hi, I'm new!  Just finished downloading the game, launched it (what exciting music!), fired up the character creation screen, and found myself face-to-face with a naked man.  Great big dude standing in the middle of my screen wearing nothing but a pair of very brief briefs in the same general color scheme as this website.
 
I thought, "okaaaay," and proceeded, figuring he was a demonstration of the type of character I could create.
 
Nope.  He's just there.
 
All through the progressive options of character creation, there stands Naked Man, all up in my screen.  Staring at me in a judgmental kinda way, as if I was the one being naked on HIS game.  The nerve.  But hey, I consider myself a laid-back person, I don't expect stuff to be perfect on a game I get to try out for free.
 
My tense relationship with Naked Man became a problem when I got to the character customization part, because all of that takes place in the background.  As in, the character I am trying to customize is on the bottom layer.  On top?  You guessed it: Naked Man.  He doesn't budge, doesn't fade away, just stands there breathing and staring at me.  Watching...waiting. 
 
This became especially exciting when I activated my face options and was zoomed in to be face-to-crotch with his...not his face, let's leave it at that.  (Nice briefs though, N.M.  Very stylish.)
 
Now, since I apparently only get two characters on a free account and Wildstar has some amazingly detailed character customization options, I really would like to make use of them and not just push random buttons.  In order for me to do this, however, Naked Man has got to go.  Because I cannot see what the heck I'm doing with him standing there.
 
In tried-and-true tech-support technique, I turned it off and on again.  Shut down the game, logged back in (bypassed the login error that apparently resulted from this), and found, to my delight...
 
That Naked Man is randomized!  That's right, each time you log in, it's an exciting new Naked Man!  The second time it was a Naked Chua.
 
But the essence of Naked Man, the pivotal reality of him and his briefs and his cold, glassy stare, is unchanging.  Naked Man is infinite; he is eternal.  He does not want me making any characters.  Naked Man disapproves.
 
He's kinda bumming me out, guys.  How can I get rid of him?

So you know, wearing brief briefs isn't naked.
And pictures. Or else everything is just happening inside your head.
 
And, is your "gaming rig" a toaster?
 
And chuas don't wear pants. Not even brief briefs.
...
 
Do you have your screensaver set as 'Allways On Top'?

			Man that is a quite hilarious, if unfortunate, bug. xD I'm sorry I don't have anything helpful to offer aside from: put in a support ticket!

ROFL oh God that post was too much for me XD

That's extremely helpful, thank you.
 
Update: I restarted a few times until I got a naked Mechari chick and was able to see (mostly) my character's face through her thigh gap, so I'm all charactered-up and in game now.  I'm still curious about this glitch, though, whether anyone's seen it before and/or knows a workaround.

			For me, it's always a woman in swimwear, usually a Mechari or a Draken or whatever those horned beasts are, which is unfortunate cuz' I'm gay.Anyway, yeah, similar problem but different- I just click escape and it brings me back into the character creation screen and (sometimes) the scantily clad lady follows.Then I click create character again and usually the problem fixes itself and I can just click "Novice, New To Wildstar, Veteran" and everything is okay from then on.- but wow, yeah, I probably wouldn't mind as much if it was a "naked man" lol.

			You sir, are eloquent as *cupcake*. Very fun read. xDBut MY question is.....can you guys reproduce this?Also, 1) Do you have any character slots currently in use by a character? (Do you have any characters on the realm you're seeing this issue)	
----
			I think the biggest question is: SCREENSHOT! :D I want to see this.	
----
			I wish I had something more helpful to offer, but consider yourself lucky your naked man is content to interfere with your character creation.  Here in Florida, our naked man gets geeked up on bath salts and eats your face.	
----
			Thank You So Much For This Post!  It was so well written and oozing with humor, I am sorry that you had such a hard time with the creation of your character but It has been a really long day here at work and I needed that giggle in the worst way.

Hi all, and thanks for the replies!  I was eventually able to make a character due to the aforementioned Mechari thigh gap, and I am seriously enjoying the heck out of this game.  Downloading this was not a smart move; I'm already wasting enough time on WoW and SWTOR.
 
While Naked Man, or some permutation thereof, arose to torment me every time I launched the game fresh, I did discover that if I logged out from my existing character and then created a new one, he did not appear.  Apparently he does not closely watch all the entrances to his domain.  Honestly, I figure this is probably a hardware issue; my computer is not what you'd call a competitive gaming rig.
 
Incidentally, after having just all of the fun on my stalker/settler for a day or so, I tried out as my non-Naked Man-inhibited alt an esper/scientist and had much less fun.  I conjecture three possible explanations based on available data:
 
1.  Low level characters can't be used to judge a class's potential.
 
2.  I suck.
 
3.  Espers are hard and science is boring.
 
It may be some permutation of two or three of the available choices.

Hahaa! Excellent post. You're going to love this game with that kind of humour.
 
Red-Fox on SWTOR didn't recommend Wildstar to you, did they? Thats me and I was chatting with a new friend around the same time you OP.
 
If so, you can catch me here as Doctor Fozzi, Dominion. I'm often in my Lobotomy Laboratory housing plot.
 
If not, have fun all the same. And you're welcome to swing by my Lab sometime. Friday is free lobotomy day!

			Actually, I had this problem again today- it was a Mechari lady, and I did what I usually do- I clicked esc and create character again and the problem fixed itself.I have two characters now, two slots filled, so I'll have to change realms in order to reproduce this issue and screenshot it.One moment, and I'll have something for ya'll.
