Guild Wars 2

So I’ve just checked the new male faces for Sylvari and I have to say, man, ANet has to be lazy. 4 faces are like copy paste, just with different scars, eyebrows and iris.

It’s kinda the same thing with the new female faces – all of the newest 3 is almost the same as one of the previous 3, only with different patterns and glow and eyes. They are not bad at all, but still i was disappointed when i saw this.

Well, at least this time, they have noses..

It was like with all the races for that group of faces.

I don’t mind too much, it’s was probably a resource/ time issue and the different textures do make them look different.

I don’t remember the newest female charr faces being completely the same… one of them is almost the same as a previous one but with a dark “mask” on the face, and one of them is based on the lynx face but entirely different. The third is completely new if i’m not mistaken. And I wouldn’t have noticed the similarities if i hadn’t been staring at them as many times as i did :P Whereas when i saw the new sylvari faces i immediately thought they are all the same, well, almost.
Dunno about the rest of the races and genders though… And i don’t mind too much either, i just had the same feeling that i had when they released the flamekissed/flametouched armors and they weren’t new models but old ones re-skinned…. i can understand that it’s efficient but it’s not what i’d expect from this game and i was a bit disappointed.

It’s the same for all genders and races. I think someone at ArenaNet might have pitched a new customization option where you could further customize within each face,
e.g; scars and minor variations. And it was probably shelved- but rather than scrap the already created textures, they decided to throw them for players to use instead.
