I know this topic has been brought up many times, but GW2 is soon approaching and it's not like ANET has done such last second updates/add ons.

I vote for NPC Hairstylist for the guildhalls or outposts so players who are just bored with the same hairdo or are in the impression of, "What the heck was I thinking" fix the issue by paying a few to get it re-styled.

Everquest and other MMOs can do it, Guild Wars has no excuse.

I think I really lost all my hopes about this thing. Even when is VERY EASY to implement (transform the bandanna in a hair style, and done, repeat as many hairs are needed)

I'm starting to lose hope on it ever happening, but if it ever did I'd be the happiest girl in GW.

Frankly, I think it's kind of a useless addition, and I never understood why people wanted it so much, but I don't see how it could possibly hurt anything, so

I guess they are keeping this and auction house as selling points for GW2, they are like the two most requested unimplemented features.

It'd work if Anet implemented a hairstyle hat, however anet doesn't want to implement a hairstyle hat. It's a nice idea, and it doable given the limitations we know about. However people have been asking for a hairstyle changer for ages and Anet could have easily included something in NF or GWEN to add this functionality.

People have been clamoring for this for over 3 years now, I assume there's something with the coding that doesn't allow it? I'm no programmer so I really don't know.

They could just allow us to remake the character. I mean, you make a new character and put the same name, then a window appear asking you if you want to replace your existing character with this appearance, click yes, and done. You lost nothing and change appearance.

And I insist, this is VERY EASY to implement, they just DON'T WANT to make it, maybe for a specific reason I totally ignore, but not a technical or developing reason, for sure.

As much as this has been mentioned before, I think Anet just don't care. It's much like a 'stuff you' attitude, what with this suggestion having been around for some years now.

i think this would be a fun addition if they made it a Cross-campaign scavenger hunt, like the black moa chick. like the Stylist is missing his scissors and you have to go try and find them, and his hair gell and dye.

It already annoying when Anet is just making iddy biddy updates on things that are just boring, such as these awkward lil' reward events. The NPC Stylist would be one full of real gratitude.

I voted yes, but I don't hate my hair. I simply would like to jazz things up every now and then.

:edit:

One of the issues that seems to come up in tandem with a hair stylist is a plastic surgeon (I can't really figure out why, either), and I think that turns a lot of people off to the idea because it seems to be asked for as both or neither. If you want to sign for a Hairstylist, use this thread. If you want a plastic surgeon, please use another thread because this topic is not about that, nor is it conducive to request for a hairstylist. :/

And let us change our hair black; I hate how there's no black hair option for female canthan monks, especially considering that Canthans, being Asian-based, should have black hair...

This would be nice, the only real reason against it are the old, A-net have better things to do or are working on GW2. Although A-Net have told us before its apparently impossible...

I agree toon customization is an area where Anet failed and games like City of Heroes won.

Hopefully there will be more options in GW2.As for GW1...never happen.

I'd love to see this.
Have a char that I now think along those lines, "What the heck was I thinking." lol. But I'm not recreating (and losing all I've done on it) it just for the hair, as much as I'd like to see it with a different hairstyle.

I agree, I feel without atleast this option a lot of GW 1 players will feel they wasted their money especially after gw2 comes out.

We had a meeting today. I mentioned this today. Again. wink It's something that the designers do know would be a popular addition to the game, for sure. I've no idea if it can/will be implemented, and certainly it's not on the agenda in the short-term. That is, you won't see this rolled out next week. happy However, you've seen how popular ideas have a way of getting incorporated into the game, so you should continue to hold hope for this idea to continue to be considered for the future.

yeah they should have this, it would take like a day to implement and cause untold waves of adulation, but it's unlikely that they'll do it.

Dr. Jones's comment was from a thread from May 06, the one I posted is from October 2007, who knows what could be cooking July 08? We really have no current information.
