They say that new hair styles and other character attributes when creating are for all classes. What about for our old characters? Will we be able to edit they're hair or face at least once to see if we would want what new characters could get?

I haven't heard anything about this...just wandering.

Blegh... I don't want to delete half my characters to remake them just to give them not-fugly faces. Alas...

Yeah.. Least they could do for the account merging is give us a chance to recreate the way our characters look... I'm awfully bored of mine.

I'd say they should have edit character button that allows all "appearance" changes like height/hair color/etc. OR AT LEAST GIVE A NPC INGAME.

I like that idea alot, would make a nice goldsink if they charged each time you wanted a haircut or a shave.

I believe Gaile has said several times that they might look at offering, at least, hair dye and maybe a full stylist. That isn't to say that they will of course, but a lot to players have brought this up.
Myself, I would love to change my monk. I did her when all the others were doing the bun things but now with all the bots running around with the default female monk look, it is way too close to mine for comfort. So I would like to change her hair - particularly once I see the new ones. Anyone know if we will have access to the new faces and hair for the beta?

I want the option of beards for old charachters (at least for the men). Besides, it makes sense & no need for a plastic surgeon - you just stopped shaving in chap 2

Maybe Symeion's hair will turn grey, his face will become crinkled, his skin will lose some of its tan, and he will shrink in his old age.

But for now, and certainly throughout the second chapter, I would still regard him as...nearing middle-age

I agree we should be able to change our current charicters looks. For one, some of us have been staring at the same thing fro about 10 months of playing. A little change would be nice.

I definately will be switching my monks hair (if it is possible) to one of the newer hair styles. The Bun One is the best one currently offerd (note: that is my personal opinion), but it is so overly used that i want something new.

/agreed on the ability to chage the face/hair/skin color

I agree with the NPC that allows you to change your look. Nice Gold/Sink.

Other things i'd love to have an npc for:

- Show me a "demo" of how my armor will look with certain dye combo
- Uncustomize items. (Dont care if it costs you 10k or 1k and a skill point, sometimes u get tired of a wep and want to get some cash for it.)
- Pet Removers in every town.

And of course... Dyes for Pets (GO MY PINK BEAR!!!!!)


sorry for the off topic.... couldnt help myself.

i think it would be cool if hair grew over time, and you had to get hair cuts or shaves....but if it goes that deep, it just be like real life, eat, sleep, drink, play gw, eat, sleep, blah blah balh.

I agree fulling Runescape even has that offered and thats a very hostile game. I like my characters looks but i'd like to edit it once in while till I find a look I prefer. As it has been said before it would be a good gold sink and maybe just maybe icy dragon swords will be something my M/W can have. *sign*...only a dream. Either way it will be a very popular thing in GW but far as a gender change that would be odd. You find your frined from GW who was guy has turned themselves into a WOMAN!!!! *dramatic opera music* So I'd say keep that out but face,hair and maybe height changeing i'd say go for it.

Other games allow for this. It would be kinda cool. Also, I like the idea mentioned above about being able to preview armor before you buy it. I know, there's usually somone out there with what you want, but I would be nice to see it on a model first...especially if you plan to mix and match.

I think in one of her chats Gaile said something about her wish list (or something to that effect) was merchant types that can change hair and offer 'town clothes'. Would be a great goldsink, as someone said.

I'd love to have my Ele dressed in the fancy digs of a Mesmer. Even if it's just to walk around town showing off! LOL

Or.. and Inn where we can go have some drinks, socialize..all in our fancy party clothes.

The ability to change ones appearance would be nice and charge for it.
100g for a hair change, plenty of people would pay that. Dyeing would be good especially if they finally add a preview option so you can see what a mess you have made before you waste those expensive dye mixes.
Growing hair/beard is a brilliant idea, the neat and trim look for those town people (mesmers suit this) and the unkempt badly needs a clean up look for the warriors, monks and rangers who spend too much time in the wild. For role players and those who drink too much dwarven and hunters ale, a nice beer belly.

Town clothes and jewellery would be handy for those in role play districts if they ever come to existence. More storage would be needed for these extra clothes even if its just for 1 change so you can swap easily between them.

I think if they put in some nice hair styles they should let you change that at least, it's not unreasonable to think characters can change their haircut...

Especially monks, maybe if there are actually some decent ones in Factions there might be some variety in the army of Princess Leia clones..

Perhaps they'll make a male Warrior visage that's anything other than heinous.

I would think that "changing faces for existing characters" isnt that big of a deal to be implemented at this time. IMO it is also sounds "disturbing" if you could do that freely to an existing character during anytime. Freely you can do that to pvp/pve rerolled/recreated characters, but not during ingame.

Hairstyles would be more viable and more "normal" sounding. (a new merchant for hairstyles + hair coloring. would be a nice gold sink, definitely)

/g'day.

Gaile also had an "armor chest" on her wishlist. Someplace she could store all her armor (Which I fully agree with).

Changing your face and Gender isn't a natural process, i think however, you should have freedom to do what you want with your hair.

Im all for the hair color and style changes. I wouldnt mind seeing the one time option to change your face & height (not gender) when you link your existing characters to factions when you buy it.

Why does everybody wants to change faces? YOU chose it, so if you don't like it, it's your own fault, in my opinion. .

Changing hairstyles would be fun, although I'm perfectly happy with mine

I think the reason that some may want to change faces is because they chose the best face they could from the choices given, now there will be new faces that they may like better for their char that they did not have before. Some may want the new face but not have to reroll a new char. They want the ability to have a new face on a existing char. It's as simple as that.

Changing Hair or facial Hair = Reasonable
Changing Faces or Sex = Not gunna happen

Thats why I think they should give us 1 chance, I repeat 1 chance (Not some "oh let me change my face every time I get a new armor to match it") every time we merge our account into another chapter to recreate the appearance of all our characters. In order to get a chance to use the new faces.. But seriously guys a "Plastic Surgeon" is just ridicilous, A "Hair Cutter" or "Barber" is much better.

Personaly, I like the idea of the new faces for the old proffesion. It is actauly thing thing I am MOST looking forward to in factions.


(I have a story, and some of the faces don't fit my characters.)

I could be wrong, but I was under the impression that it was intended, so there is a difference in looks between a Cantha Warrior and an Tyria Warrior. They are the same but look different.

I also thought that the new warriors who start out in cantha won't be able to use the old hairstyles and faces?



Which makes me wonder... will people be able to make a ritualist or assasin in tyria if they have both factions and GW:P, and will they look different?

after i asked gaile about seperate storage for holiday items,like the hats and silly weapons,she said she would love it and as since added that to her wish list aswell.

/signed on hair/colour and town clothes.
not signed on sex change you have 2 choices and they can not give you any more than that so if you changed your mind that is your fault.
faces maybe as you will have many new choices and you are limited in the first place.
and height as there is no comparison to be made when creating so either a change option or a comparison chart when creating.
big sign on facial hair,would love some gruff stubble on my warrior to make him look a bit rougher round the edges or even a full beard to go for a frusty sage look.and to compensate for the ladies maybe some make up sets that you can buy from the hair stylist that would be dyable.

I think that they should give us one chance, and one chance only, to change each of our characters with the new content from factions. gender change, height, anything, but only once.
