Dear Anet, Asura really, really need facial hair like in GW1….and tattoos……and scars….along with all the other playable races…..that are not Gem Store exclusive….PLEASE, me along with everyone else would give anything to see any of these in game and not have to pay extra for them, the one thing that set me off about the new faces and hair was that I had to pay for them, if you can, please find the time to put any of these in, it would make us all happy.

I agree that Asura should have some facial hair options, but not for free.

People should have to pay for a makeover kit in order to access the new face options.

The facial hair would probably also need to be an add on to hair that already exists, so Arena Net would have to get statistics for what the 3 most popular hair styles are for the Asura.

Why 3? Because when Arena Net releases new facial options, it’s always 3 of one set per gender. IE: 6 new faces per race (3 per gender), 6 new hair styles per race (3 per gender), and so forth.

Along with adding facial hair, Arena Net would need to also find ways to add in more facial options for female Asura so that they don’t feel left out when content gets added. So for females, perhaps giving them new ear options that allows jewelry.

And that same suggestion can go across all races.

Facial hair for males in the next update, and jewelry for females.

I mean… unless females also want to have beards. I won’t judge.

Doubt this is going to happen due to engine / system limitations.

The way the engine is set up at the moment, each race gets 1 customizable feature (besides hair). Norn and Humans get facial hair (not sure what females of those races get, honestly… never made a female of either and don’t intend to), Asura get ears, Sylvari get ears, and Charr get horns. It would require a system change to allow a second customization option per race in order to add something like facial hair for Asura. Possible, but probably not the kind of change they’d want to focus on.

Unless said facial hair was tied to specific faces only. Sylvari have some facial “hair” (and by that I mean stuff like branch or spike beards) tied to specific faces, so that could certainly be done for Asura as well. But the hair would be part of the face (so to get it you’d have to choose that specific face) and not customizable at all beyond minor effects from some of the sliders. That might not be exactly what you’re looking for though, sounds like you want full customization.

I’d like to see the next back of Asura faces incorporate some facial hair. Honestly, the last batch of new faces weren’t all that interesting for Asura (at least I didn’t think so) so adding some facial hair to them would be a nice way to differentiate them a bit more.

As for scars and tattoos… same deal really. They could make them part of the specific faces, but having them as standalone customization options is probably not realistic. Though they have released a couple of tattoo looking face masks in the Gem Store recently, so there’s that. Probably not something you’d want considering you don’t want to spend money and those are quite expensive, but something to look at in any case.

The Norn have just got (i think) a wonderfully over the top waxed moustache as part of their character creation.

An Asura Engineer with a Victorian waxed moustache would be…………

PIMP

From Essex blud…….. I’ll cut you.
