I hope they address this before release. If not I may be cancelling my factions order and trying to find another game. The armor and clothing is better, but please make the charaters less cartoonish? If I wanted cartoon characters I'd play Warcraft.
Dissapointed in new face artwork
pgdeaner
I must say that I'm quite dissapointed in the new face artwork in factions. It was ok before but now many of the faces are silly looking and much more 2 dimensional. There are also only 7 faces to choose from down from 12.

This is a Beta event. Meaning we aren't seeing the final product.

Well most of the new armors suck as well. Especially Necro, Ele, and some Warrior. The other's are ok. I'm referring to looks, not stats.
Mordakai
I like the armor, but I agree, the faces need serious work. I'm not at all happy with Ritualist faces...
LightningHell
The ritualists look absolutely HORRIBLE.

I realize that we may possibly not be seeing all that will be available with the release, but if we are... well it's pretty disappointing.

I really hope the various art in the preview is all temporary....
Sure, the landscapes are nice as usual, but I'm not much of a sightseer myself :P
The female faces are mostly fairly unattractive (unlike GW: P where there was a mix of good and bad ones.)
Also the spell graphics are sometimes even more simpler than Ch1... I was hoping they'd jazz it up with new effects and stuff... :/

Wowzers, a rant on charcater features to cancel a pre-order.
Go look in the mirror and tell me the glass doesn't cry. >.<
Haven't had something in my tummy for that response ^.

They haven't done anything new for the assassin or ritualist since the last preview either, except give them each a couple more pvp armor options. Also, I swear to god the male assassins are now Transvestites.

I like them, they all have a very oriental flavour to them, especially some of the faces and hairstyles. What you have to remember is that this is an asian setting, so characters you make here will have that sort of theme to them. IMO, great job from the factions team.

Probably when you create an assasssin or a ritualist in Tryria you will have other set of faces.

Seems like people don't have a taste of Asian aesthetics beyond Anime and import car magazines.

As for the face artwork, a few are ok, but I'm really not into looking at peoples teeth. A lot of the faces have visible teeth.. Don't really like that.

we're not even sure that's possible, or if there will even be new quests in Tyria to support Assassin or Ritualists characters there!
I have a sinking feeling these are the faces we'll have at launch. But please, Anet, prove me wrong...

While i agree that the faces look absolutely retarded, if you are SO upset about a little thing you MIGHT want to consider playing the Sims 2 and not Guildwars.
Man that new elementalist face looks like she is a complete STONER.
THe males look even worse, their armor too.

Rikimaru
between the final preview for the origional guild wars and the actual release they changed absolutely nothing except bug fixes.
Nothing visible anyway.

yeah no change at all
CKaz
I hope there are more faces as well, generally disappointed.
However at least on the male side (at least speaking for mesmer, warrior, monk) any more choice is a saving grace...

The only change I remember occuring at all was that hundred blades was non-elite, though I think that change came some time after release.
rollntider
actually that was the last screen shot I took before the release (last preview event). And no you werent limited to pre searing. I remember when it released the new look took me away...

The point here is that the devs are going to stop in at the main forum sites and gauge the response, and if we don't like something then this is the place to discuss it. It was the first and one of the few disappointments I had in my initial experience with the FPE, however I didn't run over here to make a thread about it. When I saw that others felt the same way, then I added my voice to the discussion.
If you don't agree and like the faces, then great! No problem for you, enjoy! However, there's no point in coming here and insulting or flaming those who don't agree with you. It's not about being anti-asian, it's about being anti-ugly.
My favorites are some of the more genuinely asian-looking characters, so that's not what I'm commenting on. Asian isn't synonymous with unnattractive, and many of the faces are simply ugly.
Agreed. Go through and count the number of female faces across all the characters that have their mouths open the entire time... like what, that's supposed to give us a "sexy, pouty" look or something? Or are we supposed to assume that asians don't breathe through their noses?
/rolleyes
This is much less "asian-themed" than I was expecting it to be based on all of the hype. It's even less genuine and more "americanized" than Jade Empire turned out to be.

super dooper
the faces have improved big time. i count like all but 5 incredibly hideous and constipated faces in the original. almost all (except the male mesmer and elementalist, they're still fugly) of them have improved, especially the female monks. be nice to not see that plastic surgery gone bad female monk face that people seem to be in love with. (the one with the huge eyes and bad makeup :\ )
for the first time i was able to make a non-constipated warrior, having more than one face choice, and no mesmer with crooked lips and a disease i like to call skinnyface.

And I stand corrected... Thanks Gaile. I was rethinking my decision to create a female Ritualist...
zemelett
I was actually thinking i wish i could change the look of my lvl 20 monk from the 1st guild wars becuase some of the faces for the male monk totally fit the whole 'monk' picture i have in my head...to bad if i want a new looking monk i'll have to start all over. Oh and i totally think the necro armor looks bitchen...i may have to make me a necro ... hehe bye bye stupid warrior...

(of course character slots and playing as other species/races is another debate for another time)
