Ok, first off, i know this has been posted here before, but i have more reason why there should be one. First off, a haircut weekend would be a weekend in which you could change your characters hair style. Maybe even make it cost like 10-15k or something.

I think they should do it because, when you first make your character you dont always know what armor and color your gonna end up getting. For example, i made my Rits hair red, but now i just got obby armor dyed pink. The only way to make it look good, is using the obby helm, but that doesn't always look good. If you made a character, 3 years ago, but just recently got new armor but don't like the helm, you cant really make him/her look good. Most of Guild Wars is about looking good anyways, why not make it so your hair matches?

I dont see why they wouldnt do it, theres no reason why they shouldnt. I know alot of people have mentioned this before, but i really think they should, and i bet there are alot of other people who feel the same way.

Who else agrees with me?

WHERE DO YOU THINK

W/

Well,
A). This would detract from time where they could code meaningful things.
B). People would QQ if the remade there character to get different looks/missed the event/could not afford it.
C). It has been suggested a million times and will not happen, hell nothing suggested here gets put in.

people might "QQ" but it will help hundreds of other people who are thinking about remaking their character just because of the hair. People get blindfolds and things, and they clip, they should be able to change their hair.

It might get through if we have enough people agree with it. It cant hurt, at all.

I agree with A) and C). Those are the reasons this will not happen.

/notsign, because it is pointless to /sign, since it has been stated by Gaile (back when she was CR) that it wasn't going to happen in GW1, but is a definite possibility in GW2.

If they did do it, it's pointless going to the effort to do it for one weekend and then take it away again. If they went to the effort of putting the coding in, they might as well make it a permanent feature.

At this point in time, I'd take any past "this will never happen" from Gaile with a grain of salt - I couldn't give the specifics off the top of my head, but I'm sure at least a couple of those have been overturned since Regina took over the job. A) does still hold, however.

(As a partial rebuttal to C), there were plenty of requests for a rogue/light fighter profession and a bard/shouter profession before the Assassin and Paragon, respectively, were revealed. I doubt those professions were made solely on suggestions made here, but they were ANet's own spin on things that were suggested here, and they were put in.)

Don;t say that it won't happen because it was said that it won't. How many things *such as the PvE/PvP split* has happened after ANet said they would not do that. I think they even said they were not going to touch Ursan for a long time then finally caved in. ANet are human, they can double back on their words just like anyone else.

Even though I'd prefer a NPC addition, /signed. I want people to stop calling me a narutard because I picked an Assassin hair with the ninja head-guard. -.-

/signed for a permanently available NPC. I'd change my hair every other week.

As a weekend event? Not exactly the most exciting weekend event I could imagine.

C. is lies there was a post about changing the hom to be more account based. and that's going to happen. it might not be directly related to that thread but it still is going to happen.

secondly i would rather be able to do this all the time and also be able to change the names of a few of my ch.

I'm all for it. Rather than an event to change the hair, why not make hair changing a part of every event? New season event, new hair? It beats the hell out of standing on a ring of fortune (and isn't that a riot?).

Or just make hair styles a type of helmet. Just like a monk's tattoes but fuzzier. Then you could dye them over and over again. Technically it's be a wig, but hey, some of my chars are getting on in age.

Tons of people have been asking for something like this forever. Although i don't see it happening. I see lots and lots more double xp capture weekends instead of cool stuff like this.

To answer your first question: Counting the PvE/PvP split, 1.

Your next statement about Ursan is completely false. Never did any dev or CR or any Anet employee publicly state that Ursan wasn't going to be touched. It was said many months ago that they were looking in to debuffing it.

This has already been asked a million times before and the answer was quite clear they would like to add the feature but it would take too much time to implement the feature in GW. A possibility for GW2 but I don't see it happening in GW. Also I'm not as fickle/impulsive as most people on this forum, so I'm pretty pleased how my characters look.

If they are going to make a weekend event out of it, they might as well turn it into a permanent addition, and make it cost 10k-15k each time you want to do it.

And I'm very pleased with the way my characters look. However my Derv, I think, would look equally good with a ponytail as she does with her current cut. Not everyone who wants this idea is fickle, some of them just want a change after 3 years of playing the game.

Other things that got a 'no' recibed a yes late on, like the PvE/PvP skill split.

Don't discard an idea just becuase whet you think they'll say.

Just tell if you'll like it or not.

And I'll definitely like this.

When I made my ele girl in Tyria I was between 2 different hair styles and went with the buns - sticks. And to be honest it makes her look somewhat asian...so Canthan armours look good on her, but the Nightfall armours (being more tribal, african etc) look out of place. It's why I didn't have the heart to delete her, but solve the problem by making a new PvE Elementalist ^ ^;; ...Oddly enough the new one is Factions born O_o

I would completly love it if they made a permanent NPC to do this...Hell... I'd even pay in ectos and hundrets of platinums to be able to change her hair just once!! =____=

Course my Sin would need a change too...maybe...

The 1 (one) and only Dev still working on GW1 has much better things to do than spend his time programming a "Make my Toon Pretty" weekend.

well, basically most of guild wars is just trying to make your character look good. thats why people spend hundreds of plat gettting obby armor, elite armor, ect. this NPC would just make it be easier to make your character to look good.

Anet said they wouldnt be adding aditional content to GW 1 and then they state that a new hero will be being released soon.

/signed all the way. My necro looks bad with his elite necrotic, and i have to texmod it out to make it decent.

Anet, listen to the people: your weekend events are getting reptitive and boring, and unless you do another 'bring your PvP characters into PvE' event, i dout theyll get any better.

Fingers crossed....

If the game was setup for them to already do this without much programming, it would have already been done.

There is no reason for anet to put work into gw1 for something as trivial as giving toons a makeover when all their resources are going into gw2.

ArenaNet hasn't been coding anything meaningful lately, least of all Gw2; what makes you think they're doing that now?

People are already QQing, but yeah, they'd probably be QQing more afterwards. They'd want 100% changeable. And next up would be faces/gender.

There we go, the heart of the matter. Anet doesn't actually care what the players want, just what they think Guild Wars is like.
