Extended Makeover Pack - Refreshing new looks!

Suggestion #1 (free):
Assassins, Ritualists, Dervish and Paragons have little to no benefits from the ingame Makeover Pack, as they're not core professions. How about adding some generic faces from other professions to their mix? This could also generate extra revenue for Anet as their makeover packs become much more attractive to use.

Suggestion #2 (new microtransaction):
How about a new Makeover Pack v2.0, adding new facial/hair models for each of the 10 professions. This would add a new flare to an aging game as you can now change your appearance to something new. Due to the extra work involved creating this, it could be a sold as an extended makeover pack. Maybe €8.99 for new faces including 1 makeover credit, or €12.99 for 5 extra makeover credits.

Notes:
Please include racial features from all 3 campaign with a wide range of hair colors.

EDIT:
I later posted this suggestion at the official Game Suggestions wiki section.

I hardly if ever do make-overs, but I can see people like both. I hope this becomes a nice long thread so it get\'s noticed.

my rit would really like a new look--tired of the bucky teeth look....and a few more hair styles would be nice for my paragon as well!

Oh and add an option for smaller breasts... My ele has back problems, not to speak of my rit (have you ever tried running on pumps with a rack like that....)

And I personally like petite more anyways. Not liking the assassin class doesn\'t go well with my preferences

lol, my gf actually likes her rit and derv the most due to them being top heavy, so maybe add the ability to endow the other professions with more, like the twig/boyish like sins.

Oh and an option for larger beards would be nice too, with tassles and dangly bits entwined in them.

yes yes yes to this.. now that Costumes are available to all chars on my acct it is time that the full benefits of makeovers become available to all of my characters too.

even extended skin shade and hair colors for Sins rits Derv and Para would be an improvement.

and yes, I would buy more packs.

That would be pretty good, I wish something like this was implemented.

I would even be content if it was possible to use any hair styles / eyes as the other professions as well. I mean it would be strange to get use too say if a female warrior had the face of a monk, but I think it would open up a lot of creativity.

I\'d kill for a rit or ele with the body of a sin. My current necro is a good compromise.

I really think that the mesmer has the least amount of choice of decent looking (female) faces. I know there's a ranger face I'd like to use for a mesmer. I would love to be able to have all faces available from all professions.

The bodies, I don't know. They are sort of part of the identity of the classes (for better or worse depending). It might require them reprogramming of armours when it comes to male warriors and necro's. That said, I never played a male necro because they all stand around like monkies. Never did like that.

I seriously doubt they can easily change body types as each armor set is molded for that particular body.. sure I would love it if they did, but I don't think we'll see that.

Now faces is a different story.. you could change faces from the very day you created your first character, so I think this would be much easier to implement. Perhaps cross-profession faces would be more challenging, a warrior head on a sin body might look strange lol. But I would certainly buy 1-2 extended makeover packs if I could just to give a fresh new look to my 13 characters

Generally I don't want to see too extreme faces and haircolors, like purple skin and chaos haircolor.. no no! BUT, ...

Lore:
Charrs used to hold Ascalonians imprisoned, as a combined entertainment, slavery, and food supply. It's not unlikely this might have resulted in some half-breeds, shunned from both human and charrs. There's no name for them.. Hucharr? Humarr? Chunans?

Faces:
Only available in Extended Makeover pack, these humans are a lot more furry or hairy than traditional humans. They will look mostly humans with charr traits

Good or bad?

It would be nice if my Assassin could actually have black hair like I originally wanted, instead of just a kind of medium brown (the darkest option they have).

Who says Charr and Humans are actually compatible for breeding? In any case, racial diversity for players is more a GW2 thing, maybe it's better to try this on the gw2guru

Shouldn't be too hard to unlock all hair colors and skin tones across all classes. It's not like they have to worry about clipping issues.

And with a Martin face, all you need for a complete makeover is the most anticipated festival hat of the year

I'm not sure i would get one, i'd have to see what they cost and what they can really do. I would be very tempted. Even if it was just to let any char have all of his/her professions faces and hair available, with maybe a little love(read new faces, or even just hair colors/styles) for professions that lack options(rits/sins/dervs/para)

It would give us a little more orginality in our character creation/remakes. I have minor cosmetic OCD when it comes to my characters aesthetics, lol. Really like this idea.

Although this isnt something GW really needs right now, I'm all for paid cosmetic bonuses. Which in turn pay for things GW really needs right now.

so yeah I was thinking about this late last night.:

'Bonus makeover pack for factions and nightfall!!
this includes 6 new faces for each of the non-core professions from prophecies as well as new ones from factions and nightfall.
6 exciting new hair styles,
new hair color choices and skin tones!'


they could always just adjust one of each core professions hair style to each of the non-core ones (that wouldnt be toooooo hard)....and the faces, make some minor change (the eye color for example) and put it on one of the other ones.
adding the skin tones and a few other hair color choices would be the easiest of the whole thing....

and it could cost the same as a reg makeover pack....but just for the four professions that got basically no update from the makeover pack.

Biologically speaking, Norn, elves, humans, dwarves and all those species that can mingle in fantasy tales, are either sub-species of human with common ancestry, or born through a magical process (like dragon or demon half-breeds).

Saying otherwise would be denying evolution, and you can't do that, not even in fantasy.

Looking at charr, they are clearly too different to humans. Unlikely you can cross-breed naturally, it would have to be some kind of experiment.

Hey I can accept that! We know Charr kept Ascalonians imprisoned for various reasons, there might have been experiments there too.. maybe try to make the humans less ugly even (read. more furry)..

In the end, some humans can have some Charr traits. Only a few though, maybe whiskars, maybe a bit hairy face, maybe pointy ears.. things that wouldn't be too difficult to reskin into onto existing human models.

This offers some well-needed variety for a few professions, specifically the campaign-exclusive four. It also helps out significantly in supporting the GW1 team further..

Whilst not technically character cosmetic, i'd add the suggestion of making a few more varieties to the guild cape choices. Maybe 1 or 2 different widths/lengths of capes.

I actually enjoy having specific hairstyles/faces for specific classes. Adding NEW hairstyles/faces to the mix would be nice, though. Nightfall/Factions professions do need more choices.

Everything has a common ancestor to everything else. That is irrelevant. What matters whether they are viable for mating is how far that common ancestor is. Our knowledge of in vitro cross-breeding is nowhere near that point so "experimentation" wouldn't help (and even if the argument that "well they are more advanced than we are in reality" was used, then denying evolution becomes of no consequence). Once you add magic, nothing needs to make sense; any event can be attributed to "the wizard did it".

I don't want to see rangers that look like elementalists and other stuff like that.

I would rather see new options added for each profession. Instead of adding a new flavor of makeover pack to the store, they could make it so the new options are only available to people with makeover credits. The current options would be available during character creation and people would need to buy a makeover pack if they want something that's not offered there. I have always disagreed with people that say the makeover packs are overpriced, but it might make them a little more tempting for that crowd if something like this was a possibility.

So I guess that means /signed for new options and /notsigned for adding another flavor of makeover pack to the store.

If any of the ideas in this thread aren't even worth considering, can I just get a paper bag for my paragon?
