Guild Wars 2

I’ve been meaning to ask for this for a while, but haven’t gotten around to it. The recently added hair options finally prompted me to do it.

Please add some afro options for female characters. At least for Norn and Humans, it’d be great to have both a short and full afro option.

Also, if this does get implemented, please make another design pass over the male afro options we currently have. They could use a little iterating to give them more texture so they look less like a giant foam ball that has been dropped on the character’s head.

Thanks!

For inspiration:

Yes, please!

Thank you.

I wanted to make an Afro-Carribean female Necro and while the skin-tone options were comprehensive enough, the facial feature editor fell far short in terms of width of nose and lip size, and there was no appropriate hair at all. Of course, being able to make a toon who is older, a bit portly, and not that bonny would be good too. I did manage to make a very Indian looking Mesmer. Which was nice.

I’ll definitely say that the game needs some more robust customization options. They aren’t horrid by any means, but there’s a ways to go. More hairstyles with more texture options certainly wouldn’t be amiss.

I’d absolutely love the ability to make more convincing looking characters/more variety other than characters that look primarily western/Caucasian. More hairstyles and faces that lend themselves to this point would be much appreciated, especially if they were available in the default selection (rather than being exclusive to Makeover Kits).

Kinda wonder why they didn’t just drop the afros in for women, since they made them for men, and they aren’t exactly intricately designed to fit a particular face.

Makes me think of the discrepancy in skin tone in GW1. You could get very dark men, but women could only be on the lighter side of what would be African descent in the real world. It always read as a subtle, probably unconcious on the part of the creators, manifestation of color/gender bias.
