Thanks for the support. But really now a plastic surgeon? That would be plain silly... if we had plastic surgeons then there should be cars, guns and planes in this game.

Chaging faces and heights would just be plain crazy.

But hair stylist would be a massive improvement.

a perfect idea, i don't wanna look like other people, i wanna look different to everybody else
it would be even better if we could change the facial appearance instead of selecting faces. creating your own faces would be better as i don't like most of the faces on prophecies or factions.

Oh please, oh please, oh please! I am fairly new at Guild Wars but after 5 months of my rangers same stupid pig tails, I am desperate. It was way too much work to get my char to this level to start over. I have some other characters but I would pay $2.00 a pop to have the opportunity to change my hairstlyle long before I pay $10.00 for another character slot.

naaaaah, now cmon, its not like i want to add impossible stuff. for that kind of stuff u mention i can play different games; i like guild wars as it is. :) changin ur face shouldnt be that big a deal, the theory is the same as with changin ur hair.. y do u want to change those things? --> 1) to be able to switch to faces/hair/colour u werent thinkin at the time u made ur character, or like when factions came with new hair styles/faces ... u should be able to switch to those without havin to make a whole new character based on factions alone - and 2) to be able to be more individual, which i strongly support. i think it would be nicer to be able to have as much variation as possible, it would make guild wars more realistic (lot less clones, and btw, i agree with Knight Othin Of War, makin ur own face would bring this whole topic to a new level :D tho changin to alrdy extistin faces would be enuf for me alrdy, it would be at least a start ;-))

anyways, to sum it up, that plastic surgeon is just a thought, its not like i cant live without it, but that hair stylist is a different story :D i agree the surgeon might be too drastic (tho nice ;P), so lez start slow and see how ppl respond to the stylist first ;-)

Very cool idea and I would support it. I think it would also be fun to variate your charecters stature such as weight and posture. Have any of you noticed how Stefan[fighter] appears a bit chubby? Also Little Thom[Brawler] has a big ole pot belly from all those giant turkey legs he be eatin.

I think that would be totally funny if after you get a drunkard title to add a nice big bear keg stomach to your charecter lol..

I think the plastic surgeon is a bit overkill and unrealistic/unbelievable within the GW world. However, I still believe the hair stylist is relevant, useful, and needed -- if only Anet were listening.

I think this is a great idea. Many games already have this. All we need is an NPC just like the Guild Emblemer except with hair styles and colors. Changing a characters face is another cool idea but maybe a bit overboard. Mixing the different hair styles and colors of each profession would be cool too. Even if none of this ever happens.. I would be happy to have black hair on my assassin

yes a game involving people who can take an axe to the face and be perfectly fine or throw fire from their hands is perfectly reasonable, but a plastic surgeon? ARE YOU FREAKIN CRAZY?!?!?!

but if it really makes you that unhappy perhaps they could add it to the Log In window (as sm2006 said) next the the create delete buttons there could be one with "Edit Character" where you would take your character back to the character creation screen and you could basically remake a new monk or whatever your character may be and at the end a window would pop up and say 'the changes you have made will subtract 1,500 gold from your account, do you accept these charges?' or something to that affect

just seems odd to limit changes to just hair when your character involves gender/face/hair/height/skin color, but thats just me

i think his point was that plastic surgeons don't really fit into a fantasy rpg, just like cars etc don't fit in to a fantasy setting, not that you shouldn't be able to change your facial features, height, etc.

unless he is saying you shouldn't be able to. which i don't agree with.

Thank you, someone who understands.

Yes we in a game where people can shot fire out of their hands, but then again its a FANTASY GAME. So things like magic are understandable.

Having a "plastic surgeon" in game would seem completely out of place and random.

Not saying I wouldn't agree with full body changes. It just seems a bit radical.

that is why i said that if you didnt want a plastic surgeon in game perhaps we could have it in the log in menue. This would remove it from the game world so people like you would not be upset, but still alow people to change their character

i did post a possible way around the problem, please read that part next time

I don't think a plastic surgeon would be an option, but a hair stylist would be a nice idea. Also, I think Factions players should be able to pick one of the faces/hairstyles from Prophecies, especially if they have both campaigns.

I dont want to see a full revamp of a character, only hair style and hair-related things for the most part.

ROFL! PLASTIC SURGEON ? Why not a sex changer. Just go to Droknars lay on the table, and little dwarf with rustyscalpel will make you a women in no time

But seriously: I really would like more diversity in the game. It is quite sickening to see so many great looking girls in one place (mostly because I know it will never happen to me in real life).

I would really like my character to be skinny grumpy old man with white beard (something like Cohen the Barbarian from Terry Pratchett books). There is too litle option for customizing characters. It becomes the real Attack Of The Clones.

Any options would be welcome: Being Fat, Having beard, Having 50 different hairstyles, eyepatch, tatoo on the backside, sexy lingerie, Greenpeace sign on the side of your pet. Anything to make you stand out of the crowd!

Another reason the hair changing makes since:

Anyone ever go to another country and see the fasion there? To fit in or just to enjoy the local customs, you change your hair, your clothes etc. Why is this still not in?

/knock knock Anet are you even reading these forums anymore? Or are you just looking at the "exploits in PvP" threads? So many changes, yet this is still not in place. Hello!?!

Instead of plastic surgeon, we can have an illusion mesmer that cover your face with the illusion of another face. The illusion will last forever, so you cannot really tell it's just an illusion

I think we need more face options as well...I remake my mesmer all the time, and there is only 1 female tyrian face that does not look like a man's or is stoned...

I have over 500 hours on my warrior, 15 months, almost KoaBD and I grow tired of her looks. The idea of rerolling her is unthinkable.

For those who say that plastic surgeron is a little too much unrealistic for GW world, I agree. But we can put in, say... a magic mirror, to change faces instead.

As I have said before, I am very strongly for a hair stylist (how about we call them a barber? People would make fewer jokes about gays). But I am just as strongly against any kind of face change.

For one thing, I think it's a bad idea to let chars use faces from campaigns other than their 'native' one. I like the fact that Tyrians have a different appearance from Canthans. I think this is a good thing, and gives the game more depth. Even without the ability to do this, it's silly to allow people to totally change their character's appearance. Why would you do that? It's silly to have ANet change all that just because you're "bored" with your char's face. I can't think of any other reason.

dude this whole chaning your body thing is rediculous... heck i wouldnt be surprised if the whole reason anet has overlooked the hairstylist is cuz you guys want all these rediculous things.... surgeon? body weight? freakin ear rings/jewelery? christ man take it one step at a time... lets just get the hair stylist for now...

the other reason they probably wont implement it is because it seems you all want to change tyrian characters to have canthan hair.... that wont happen... that is for canthans... what happens if you just own prophecies? do you get canthan hair?

really, lets not sink our own ship, or we wont come away with a thing....

My question is this: Do you have the same hairstyle that you had ten years ago? Is it the same color?

We change things about or selves all the time and if Anet came out with some new styles (ones that we couldnt choose before) then why build a new char? Sounds rather sad to spend monthes on a char only to delete because the hair sucks.

Tattoos would be ok but how would you use them? Clothes cover them, and if not I am freaking tired of the naked dancing retards in towns. IRL at any time of history these people would have been locked up at least.

Facial Jewlery would be cool and easy to do.

I liked the trial dye idea. lets you know what your 15k armor will look like before you waste the gold.

Hello? Why can't you change your hairstyle?! There are things called SCISSORS and HAIR DYE. And don't forget - there could be magical solutions, although I don't think it's possible to have permanent illusions.

Sure it's a permenant solution if the spell is powerful enough Shadowfrost remember, Illusions are Illusions but can be as real as we want them to be.

I think we should be able to accesorise with Jewelery/Bracelets/etc., and I think we should be able to change our hair color and style, and also allow all male PC's to have a Goatee if he wants.

I have been playing my monk since a month after prophecies was released and I am damn sick of how she looks (I do have 2 accounts and 7 other active chars). I will not remake or delete her ever. She has 3.5 mil EXP and a ton of titles unlocked, just wish I could change her up a bit. Please Anet, do this!!!!
