Idea: Stylist NPC (Possible Money sink)
Belleal
Great idea. Something I await since Factions but is still missing in Nightfall.

P.S. I just have to ask: how does the whole thing with the signing work? I mean, I have signed for over 20 or so great ideas so far which have hundreds voices saying YES, but so far I haven't seen anything of this implemented in the game or even announced for future updates...

Ok where in this thread has Gaile said this idea is impossible?
I've checked it all the way back to page 9 and there is no mention of this being impossible.
I did however there is positive respond from her on page 2:
As you can see (If you read the chatlong)... A.net said they like the idea, and it could happen. But maybe never, as its could be a long time before it came along.

Seeing how it is one of the most highly demanded new features by the fact we have someone starting at least one or two new posts asking for this every week, I don't see why Anet wouldn't try to make it a bigger priority.

This is a great idea, it would be amazing if they actualy manage to do this

My elementalist and warrior from tyria have been stuck with that horrible hair.....I so wish anet would take this idea into consideration. And if even at all possible, not being offensive/rude/phsycho/perverted or anything etc.(make them be able to change sex without changing character name) I dont think it would weaken the economy or anything, I mean if you just buy armor its just one set, its not like there's a guy set or girl set that would affect anything so if you change then it'll just make the armor fit to the right sex.(the armor that you bought that is)

For a sum of lets say 500g, the stylist will give access to all standard dyes in the game and allow you to use on them your armor and see how it looks. A try before you buy so to speak... the effect will run out after 2 mins, at which point you'd return to normal. |

Is Anet and/or Gaile Gray aware of this Petition ?
Does anyone know if they are taking this into consideration?

What's a Stylist NPC? As well all know we select our hair colour and style at the start of the game, which forever more remains like that... The stylist NPC will be able to change and add things to our character apperance at cost. Not only would it allow players to spend there money on new things, players can make their characters look better and stand out more from the 200 Red-hair female elementalist clones running about for example. what services will the Stylist NPC have? - Change Hair Style, A.Net could add some more in as well - Change hair colour - Add additional special items including: + Ear-rings + Flashy Finger Rings + Facial (Not that kind! ) Tatoos - Add special new clothing items which give no AL bonus, but look different: + Scrafts + Head Bands - AND for the final special feature...

I also think that when a new chapter comes out and i want to make a female warrior, in nightfall, all the hairstyles are really ugly and the only style i really like is in prophecies, and frankly i cannot be bothered making another prophecies char... with each new campain, it should be adding to the bank of hairstyles, not making completely new ones.

He I just want to precise one thing, I /signed this thread just for the hairstylist, I don't think a "face changer" would be a good idea, neither a way to change sex, I just think a way to change and/or taint hair is good

/signed! for hair style changes, but not accessories since there's armor for that, and the different styles are quickly multiplying with anet's two chapter a year plan, which should make for quite a bit of clothing diversity

Glad to see my old topic is still generating interest.
Remember generally asking for a hair style changing NPC is about as much as most of us want.
When I created the thread ages, I added things like rings and stuff only as a suggestion. Not really the idea as a whole.
Also those who say "Go play the sims" there are plenty of games which allow constant customisation of you in game character beyond their basic look.
Most likely a hair changing NPC could be done, but it will take a bit of time to implement.
Also I've yet to find any proof of the devs saying this is impossible. I think people are confusing this with other things to do with in game characters and accounts.

It's set during character creation, so there's absolutely no logical reason why it couldn't be set in-game, either.

Its been awhile about this thread but I feel like others here, see many players with the same face (For a good example now, the Dervish, almost everyone got the same face). I support greatly for a stylish guy even if it takes time. Perhaps we will get one in Chapter 4.

i really really wanna c this happen. it would make me love anet again. its really dissapointing they havent done anything especially with this many people all saying the same thing. YES!! so it would take some time to think pricing but it would make the game more enjoyable knowing i could get rid of my necros mohawk (which doesnt match my luxon 15k) and change my elems faces so it looks decent and make my monk look like it isnt pale and going to throw up. i have no clue what i was thinking when i did that people make mistakes or get sick of these types of things. its pretty much like saying for the rest of your life you couldnt change your hairstyle. i dont know about you guys but ive had a few different ones and i think that in general this idea would help. so as i said before i say sign and id like to added sumthhing to that

I still support the Hair idea and adding accessories we can purchase (Hello, Gold Sink!) such as rings, necklaces and so forth.
Although I admit my surprise not seeing any Dev's posting in this topic in as long as this has been going.

But wouldn't it be better if they allow us to alter the appearance of our weapons? Such as the bigger the size, you want your axe to be, the costlier it is.
