Guild Wars 2

I did a few searches on the forums and I didn’t see anything, but I just though maybe a Height-Only Gem Store item would be nice. It’s a pain (and a waste) to buy a whole kit if all you want to change is the height. I know many people, myself included, who either completely forgot to look at the height bar during creation or just want to change it, and only it. So like the Hair-Only kit, if this was possible, it would be awesome and I would definitely buy one (or more).

I wish they would put in the game this type of NPC.

You buy makeover credits from the store and you can look at the possible changes without needing a kit first. If, in this game, they make it so each single change costs one credit then you can change one feature for the lowest price up to everything for the highest.

I’d love to have an NPC like that, yes. I’ve (regretfully) bought and used a kit for a single feature before, it’s cringe-worthy.

So have I, to change height on a char or a tattoo color on my Norn. I was wishing for the NPC so I could look it over before buying a kit so I could be sure I wanted to do it.

Definitely. They just need to make a make-over stall in the cities with an NPC like that available.. Sell the make-over credits on the Gem store and they’re still making money from them so it’s really win-win.

As to height, I’ve long wished that character creation included some indication of how you’ll appear in the world. Since changing your height alters everything else as well, the shortest of a race is bizarrely scaled compared to the tallest. I understand there are solid technical reasons why it has to be that way, it just makes it very hard to predict whether you’ll look weird once in the world.

Perhaps there could be a silhouette behind (and showing through) the mannequin in the height slider in creation, set to exactly average size and build. Then you could see how you’ll compare to that when deciding on your scale.
