Guild Wars 2

I would like more options for the other details in each race, like charr horns, norn tats, asura ears, etc.

more body types would be great. there are some stocky builds but nothing I’d really consider fat, and especially not for girls. it’s more diverse than some other MMOs out there but it could still be even better.

extra details for humans or norn could be good too, like scars or freckles. seems odd you couldn’t just add that as another overlay, like the fur/skin/tattoo patterns we already have for characters.

-2 tone eyes

-waaaaaaaay more hairstyles per race\gender

-a length slider for hairdos

-more fur patterns\skin patterns\tattoos

Seriously i want to be able to make Fat & Weird characters. Not just hot ones. :/

Full dye access to hair accessories.

Human: Longer hairstyles for guys! And some kind of “accessories” spot (make-up for ladies, scars for males and females, etc.)

Norn: More tattoos options, and accessories too (well, for every race that would be good)

(I barely play Sylvari, Asura, and Charrs…)

More colors for each race, more horns, ears, hairstyles, beards, foliages… More of EVERYTHING! Specializations mean we can personalize our classes, so let’s personalize our characters more

I’d like to see:

- An option to have heterochromia eyes (one brown, one green) for a more unique look
- More voice options, a couple with accents wouldn’t hurt either
- Aged/Elderly faces (example: Tywin Lannister)

I don’t think more voice option is going to happen, because it would be too expensive.
The PC isn’t voiced anymore in the Living World because it would be a pain to get like, 10 voice actors (one for every playable race and gender), plus 10 german voice actors, plus 10 french voice actors, plus 10 chinese voice actors… and redo ALL the already existing voiced lines.

But character creation options for the body and face doesn’t seem to be too much to ask. I already like GW2’s character creation, but let’s face it, it lacks a lot of options.
More beards for humans. More messy hairstyles rather than haircuts that make your character look like a fashion model. Curly and frizzy hairstyles (heck, Asuras and Sylvary have access to some better-looking dreadlocks than humans…). And more racial diversity (Sylvari have access to more racially diverse faces, and they’re not even human…).

I don’t know if it’s the same person who does the humans and the other races’s faces in this game, but that’s the case, I’ll be really surprised. It’s like Asura and Sylvari have someone who’s really having fun searching for new and creative ideas working on them, and humans have someone who sticks to the same kind of things over and over again (caucasian prettyboys and girls, hairstyles that are always look like something out of a fashion magazine and are always straight, etc…) :/

Also, the sliders tend to have less influence on the new faces ! I don’t know if it’s the case for every races, but it is for Sylvari : sometimes they barely change anything, no matter how you use them. It would be cool if they could fix that.

Edit : Different stances/idle animation could be a nice thing to change. I know a few persons annoyed by the whole “looking at butterflies with glee” idle animation of females Sylvari. It could be cool if we were able to choose between neutral, fierce, or “cute” idle animations.

Great idea! I would also wish for new casting animations (how I loved my GW1 Necro’s casting animations!)

mXz.4512:

I’d like to see:

- An option to have heterochromia eyes (one brown, one green) for a more unique look

Female human
Bearbow or ponythief
Max boob size
Lowest height
3rd face from 1st row
Cultural t3
get hair kit and use flower hair dyed pink or blue
Heterochromia Blue/Red or blue/green

As unique as everyone that looks the same

female charr tail fur to be long like a greater ant eater tail. there is atype of cat real life that has such tail as well but forgot the name think I twas a Persian cat or something the white furred cat in aristocats. like tail

and body shapes like BBW charr and beer gut male charr

I’d much rather have them re-do the character presets or simply copy paste the presets from GW; at least then it wouldn’t have required me hours to make a somewhat functional pretty face/haircut without looking like a lolita in the process, which is why I honestly question whether the one in charge of character design is in fact a pedobear.

I only want thicker legs to match the most built human male character model there is. The upper body is fine but his legs are small. Have you seen a male human in draconic leggings? The legs look tiny. Why you make him miss leg day Anet?

Most Norn models are too big and most human models are too skinny. More middle ground please.

It’d be easier if we just had sliders for these kinds of things.

We need more control over customization. Some F2P games are doing it better.

Edit: Just noticed we have no default Asian faces in character creation. More please. No I don’t want to use that Sylvari one I’m sure you’re thinking of.

More body and hair options for Norn and Sylvari (don’t know about char or asura never made those) but it seems like only the human character creation was worked on and the rest was just slapped in as an afterthought

More long hair options for females (Including sylvari.)

part 2:

• eye detail: changing the pupil and allot more eye colors.
• multiple hair colors: being able to use more then one tone of colors in any hair style, new or old.
• hair length control: being able to adjust the length of any hair style. (within reason)
• animation control: being able to choose how you run/walk to match the age/style of your character. (like a more assassin style run or an old wizard-like walk, it can even extent to current and straight up standing charrs)
• voice choice per age: to make voice per race makes it really stressful but at least have 3 different voices by age, a character designed to be an old man should sound like that and it’s the same for an older girl. (around 14-16 years old)
  that’s it for now.

I want the Sylvari faces and bodies to stop having default green or brown patterns on them. Give us a second “pattern color” selector or something, but I’m tired of all my Sylvari being forced to have green accents on their skin. Especially in the faces, where it seems like the default lip color is green on over half of them.

Also, I’d like to see some more Sylvari hairstyles. In particular, longer styles. Straight ones could be made of long strands of ornamental-style grass or of heavy leaves like iris or daffodil leaves. Curly styles could be made of cascading blossoms like wisteria or amaranth. Even Spanish moss would make an awesome texture for Sylvari hair. It drives me crazy that the only long styles available are the one-sided fluffy one and the ponytail. (Well, and the willow branches, if you buy a kit)

Templar.3418:

Why you make him miss leg day Anet?

-demented cackling- This comment made my day XD

I’d like a layer added at creation to allow for silvering hair on any race/gender. For males, silver at the temples, for charr on the muzzle, for females perhaps a streak. I like playing older characters who aren’t yet old, but show their middle years. (Prince mehtu the Wise from gw1 is an example of this)

For hairstyles, yes please, more African/Asian faces.
I’ve done my very best and I LOVE my Mongolian and Wolof based faces, but some more would be nice.

More importantly though, HAIR. The stunning beaded braids, long tied/knotted dreads or braids from GW1 are deeply longed for by me and many of my guildies. A piece of art I’ve been working on which began with screenies worked over to reflect how I’d like their hair to be suggests what I mean. Adding beadwork, rings and ornaments into dreads.. yeah. PLEASE.
I added Varesh-inspired beaded braids to the leftmost, my guardian, turned my ele’s mohawk into a dread-mohawk, added beads and rings to my guildie’s warrior.

Tattoo/scarification options would also be amaaaaazing.

edit: added some gw1 screencaps to show what I’d love so much to see.

Astral Projections.7320:

More hairstyles for all of course. More flower/plant themed hairstyles for Sylvari.

Hairstyle from Anyandrell.6238

Thank you for appreciating my work. I’ve actually worked on a couple more and I’ll post them soon.

And yes, as a Sylvari-obsessed player, I would love to have more face/pattern/glow/ears options – there is a reason why some of those options are never used – they are ugly. It’s not about not being humanoid, they are humanoid enough, just very ugly. I’ve worked on a couple faces/ears too, keeping in mind the animation our characters have with their faces (PS cut-scenes and in-game talking)

Character creation i want ?LETS GET THIS STARTED SHALL WE !!!

Norn should be bigger , And notably more muscular than the other races due to the fact that’s what they were in the first one . Norn were large , bearded beings who didn’t seem to like shirts(( not gonna lie im ok with this . Vikings and all that )) . However their transformations in this game are laughably weak and hold little ability to manage any use (( could of made a lycanthrope sort of thing with it where it lasts until you drop out of it but you cant heal or be healed ? )) . They should have awesome beards and hair’s most norn probably never cutting their hair or doing so due to their tribe . (( wolf , bear , raven , snow leopard ect)) Thus not cutting you off from having the sleek , and sexy hair you want or just looking like vin-diesel twin . They should have better tattoo options , and there should be more armors that are made to somewhat show them off better ? Their armors should be viking looking (( The racial armors are kinda eh and dont really make me feel a barbarian or viking vibe . )) I mean; I hate to bring up diablo three here , but their barbarian armor is sexy and looks like real armor these men of the north would wear . I cant see these big hulking primal like beings running around in a suite and tie for example and when i do i just laugh because i find it funny . Yes they are smart but come on give us some of that fur and plated armor we love so much that we havent gotten yet . One arm completely armored up while the other isent with just a strap over your pecs and if you have breasts; just put like a plated tank top with some fur around the edges on and call it good ? But im getting ahead of myself here , Most character’s in the game have good hair (( charr need more beastly looking faces but im sure plenty of people complain about that. )) Norn should look something similar to vikings in real life ; They should be much more pronounced and if you need some ideas vikings on the history channel is a good place to look . They should have long hair , good looking beards and should act more primal and pronounced as a race . I felt they acted to civilized and to much like modern men to really be viking like . They should be able to look something like this And this picture was one of their concept designs . It looks like perfect ; What the heck happened ?

There is also this picture as well , Norn are the ones with a gold like color about them .

Dang. I wish my Norn looked that kitten, and my norn looks pretty kitten already.
A side note, norn NPC’s actually are bigger. I have my norn female at max height, and there is a norn female skill point NPC outside the Vigil Keep who is still a head taller than her. I think they limited how tall our player norn can be because it would make them seem like they’re moving too slow. My norn already looks like she’s moving slowly, and she’s still smaller than the large male norn.
At any rate, more norn tattoo options and battle-scarred faces would be great

I have created several threads on the charr race pages regarding this subject Before with plenty of pictures…
Here are my wishes though:

Charr:

• More horns – Deer/antler inspired
  – Ram inspired
  – Gazelle inspired
• The ability to choose color for u’r horns (today everyone who has a certain design have the same cilor ) Also make the claws match the horn color pls.
• More manes and faces (Always welcome)
• More fur patterns like scars etc
• the panther black for female charr to be less gray stained and more truly black. (the ammount of gray stains makes them look like old chimps colorwise)
• some more love given to charr ears – perhaps add some ear rings to some (today many ears look like squares painted like ears (compare the detailed love sylvari ears have been given)
• The ability to change hair accesory color from u’r dye-pool not needing to use a hair style kit for that change!

And some wishful thinking for face animation (retractable lips on charr… Look how asome teeth they have and what u can do with it). They would come so alive!!

Sylvari:

• More tree/branch inspired hairstyles for female sylvari (there is ONE today)!

-personalities in “battle talk” to say different things rather then always the same
(like for example rather then “im faster then a centaur” something like “CHARGE!”)

-different stances\walking\running animations\idle animations
(like a proud stance, a “savage” stance, a shy stance, a laid back stance and so on)

-“emotions” like happyness, anger, confusion etc to choose and display on the char
face cause most of the time our chars are rather…apathetic looking

-“battle damage” like scars, blind eyes, broken horns, chipped teeth etc

- earrings\piercings\tail accessories\necklaces\eyelashes\beauty marks

- hairdo accessory colouring like armor pieces

- much more hairdos and racial features (tattoos, horns, ears, glowy stuff etc..)

- more skin tones\fur patterns\skin markings(asura)

- “sliders” for certain body features (like thighs, upper arms, lower legs, belly area etc)

- length slider for hairdos

- 2 tone eyes (like left one green and right one blue or whatever)

- crooked ears\horns

- “self fix” for too big\too small backpieces, floating shoulders etc with a simple x-y-z
slider (that would fix a lot of troubles for a lot more people then you think)

-old people faces

-new particle colours\styles for class specific attacks and\or pet and minion styles

-not sure if that falls into the theme but more emotes\dances

Let see

More hair for Asuran (even with the updated hairs, Asura has still got the least amount of hairs).

More horn for Charr (a ram horn would be cool and that horn that cruve downward does not count)!

More tatoos for Norn.

Speaking of tattoos, I think all races should get some tatoo, just small compared to the norn.

I think they should add a slider for the body type since I’m kind of bored of seeing a few skinny female body and a slightly muscular body. Don’t they know that people can have a belly or just super muscalr?

Same apply for the breast (what?)

Also I would like them to somehow add abit of details on the Sylvari head or make it blend better with the hair to the face. A bland Sylvari head just look too clean.

male human faces that don’t look like this:

http://i.imgur.com/zQ7t34C.jpg

I would like a short, neatly trimmed beard option for human males. As it is we have two varieties of stubble and a full beard.

Like http://images.natureworldnews.com/data/images/full/1500/ben-affleck.jpg

Asura facial hair….

Darker/more variety for skin/fur/body color.

Particularly…. I would want some darker blacks/greys.

The darkest black skin color on a human creates strange “highlighted” areas around the nose ears and chin…. almost like a bronze statue that had been getting molested.

Better slider control. For example, the slider that controls the eye angle barely does anything, at least in human males. At most, you can give yourself droopy eyes or correct the already droopy eyes… somewhat.

More body options, yes including boob sliders, but not just those.

Posture and idle animation choices.

Longer hair that doesn’t clip with everything.

Tattoos for everyone.

3 words. NEW. ACCESSORY. COLORS. they like 12 or so we have now usally are meh anyway, always use the stream blue it seems

Tattoo’s, more scars for all races, beards etc for humans. There’s honestly not much variety between the differnt faces and body types.

More ‘rugged’, ‘battle worn’, ‘older’, and ‘ugly’ faces – all the pretty/handsome 20 year old looking faces bother me.

I HATE that all Sylvari pc have a built in hyper-joyful mood at all times. What if I want to roll a more serious or moody Sylvari? Hard to keep that in mind when my Sylvari is just glaring around with a dumb smile on. Nit that a young race wouldn’t be largely naive and childlike but kitten , they should ALL be like that.

Combat animation options; Choosing how your character wields drawn weapons.

e.g. When idle or moving does your character keep rifles raised in their shoulder, across their stomach, or facing upwards in one arm. When holding swords does your character hold them at the ready, or down by their hip. When firing a bow does your character hold it sideways, or vertical etc…

Less shiny ‘hair spray’ model type hairs.
All the new hairs have this strange plastic shine to them.
I want to see design turn away from this—in favor of more rugged hair—what you might actually see on a fighter or an adventurer

Was thinking that I would like a few tri-color fur patterns for Charr characters. As I don’t foresee Anet designing a second fur pattern option to do this — I thought maybe they could release a few patterns that have a set third color pattern in black or white.

I was just wishing for more color options on certain things, whether at character creation, or by using kits. I like the variety in hair/eye colors (well, with makeover kits, anyway). But we really need more color options for:

- norn tattoos
- hair accessories
- charr horns (or at least the option to change the color of them at all!)

Honestly, it would be fantastic to add in a color wheel so players have the ability to choose any color for hair/eye/tattoos/accessories. But if that can’t be done, please at least give us more than what is there now!

A boob slider like in FFXIV

Not sure if I missed someone else stating these:
I would like the full color palate of an account available for the accessories/armor.

Secondly maybe a wardrobe access to check body type/hair/etc clipping before making that decision.

Lastly perhaps a prompt stating (if you have any on your account) hair/makeover kits to allow you to start with those options unlocked (and if any are used to consume the kit).

We have plenty of colors to choose from when it comes to hair, beards, eyes etc but when I want to choose an accessory color I am severely disappointed and/or limited as half the colors show up as different hues anyway on some of the hairstyles.. I’m looking at you, Vegeta Charr Hair! (E.g; the red-looking accessory color actually shows up as some hideous brown/green or even orange with some hairstyles, yikes!)

So yeah, briefly;

- Introduce more Accessory colors to bring things up to par
- More Charr horns
- Asura everything; hair, ears, faces
- I’d like to see a lot more Eye colors available; Cyanide being one
- older/elderly looking faces

Marcus Greythorne.6843:

male human faces that don’t look like this:

http://i.imgur.com/zQ7t34C.jpg

lol, it’s funny because it’s true.

Also: Can I have a check box at creation that auto-cuts off all the butt-skirts, butler coat-tails, and trenchcoat-hangings from all the armor I wear?

We’re still same clones as were in GW1. Or at least feels like that.

1. Full overhaul? Possible, but very unlikely for a good while. Sooner or later AN will need to release mutch more customization options, otherwise, it’s a clear sign that this game has no goals at all. Not by long shot.
2. Flood of Variaitons? Exactly what should happen right here & now!
3. Release a little pack every year? When cheap crow-founding games offer more, it’s kind of a shame

It is also shameful that we can’t make old/ugly/fat characters, everyone here is a top-model…. one step back and we end up playing with children… with a “nasty” community.

Same goes to Armors & Weapons… Those needs customizing more tho.

I would like my necro to look like a hunchback,decripit person with shaky hands and holding fingers like claws,and possibly using his staff to walk.Also removing all the muscles would be nice.

I think that look would be more fitting instead of my current avalible look,right now he looks like a man ready to compete in an olympics swimming competition.

More cute male facez for Sylvari and more short leafy hair styles like the most recent one. http://dulfy.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/gw2-entanglement-hairstyles-sylvari-male-10_thumb.jpg but going downward.

The ability to make Charrs stand upright (probably never happen :< )

More hair accessory colors or make them dyable!!
More tatoo/glow color choices…more ear types??

Agreed! This is what I want for my charr necromancer honestly. Even the thinnest male charr body has a six-pack and a thick muscled neck. I want my necromancer to be emaciated, with wasted muscles and a neck that can barely support his (already small) horns.
Also annoying is the deep, powerful growl that all male charr have for voice. I want my necromancer to have a dry rattle of a voice—vocal cords that have been damaged by smoke and disease.

So it seems the overall consensus is more.

Tachyon.5897:

How about a character creator like that of Black Desert Online?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4TP4L1vHfpk

Oh that’s so amazing. ANet would probably have to do some massive overhauls of the game engine. I’m unsure how much work ANet actually does on a regular basis to their engine but from the outside it seems that they’re mostly tweaking what they current have.

Kodiak.3281:

The ability to see looped animations. Like character running, or character swinging a weapon of a type for their class, etc.

Definitely a +1 for character creation, would also add a bit more wow factor to it, and seeing as how it’s the first part of the game most players will see the more wow the better.

Donari.5237:

In GW2 my alts have generally come out as I like but I see so many out-of-scale tiny or giant people (of the same race) it’s bizarre.

Eh I know right, my one Norn is basically just a tall human.

Xaton.1902:

and body shapes like BBW charr and beer gut male charr

Granted they’d have a hard time in the fahrar but yeah would be entertaining.

Faust.2846:

Yeah we’re basically given a spectrum between two extremes, pretty boy and ruggedly manly (for guys), and lolitas and beauty-queens (for girls). Sure there’s a couple of exceptions here and there but overall there’s not a lot of fat and ugly people running around. At the very least they can give us some nice scars. I’d love it if my Charr Necro looked liked he’d spent his formative years in dog fights. Nice big scar running down the side of his race just to emphases “I’m evil” (yes yes I know I’m stereotyping my looks here).

1) Voice slider, tune the voice up and down to create youngish or oldish voice. (No need to hire more voice actor)

2) more body fitness type for human (need some bulky or heavy weighted type), more slim body type for norn

3) 2 leg running selection during charr character creation

4) more facial decoration, scars, bread etc

5) more underwear selection
