Guild Wars 2

Will there be new character customization options released with the new expansion? Or at least, new ones available on creation? Not like…one or two…but a bunch.

Most likely any new customization options will be added to the makeover kits, like the rest of the newer options.

Nothing confirmed, but it is quite safe to assume that new options will be added, like hairs, faces and colors.
I wish that new details get added too, like norn tattos, human and norn beards, asura ears, charr horns and fur patters, sylvari glow and so on.

I wish they would make it possible to choose the type of eye for your face and that it isn’t predecided.

I really. really. hope for new faces / hair colors.

The ones we have are so vibrant. I would like more hues with less saturation.
And Kasmeer’s face would be awesome! ;_;

I could definitely go for some more customization options as well. I know it probably won’t happen, but clean slate faces with no makeup and a separate tab for makeup customization would be great Some time I love a face and the sliders I can work with on it, but the make up is just awful.

I’m just remembering how great some other MMOs did it – Aion’s character creation for example.

Racial features that are mora than faces, hairstyles and colors. I have asked for this for a long time… No answer still though. not even the slightest hint. I’d so love to have some new horns for charr and the ability to choose from different shades/natural colors on horns, also new fur patterns (and ofc racial features for other races too).

I’d buy so many makeoverkits!!

Also – the ability to use DYES for hair acessories There havnt been ONE SINGLE dye added to the hair acessories since release – and they are few indeed (making them hard, and EXPENSIVE, to match with u’r armour).

Various facial piercings to choose from would be awesome. At least one can hope.

Since this is Fashion Wars 2, I’d love to see more Norn body types, tattoos and hairstyles. I purchased a makeover kit with the anticipation something would be released with HoT.

I’d like to see more customization options added into the expansion and NOT make them restricted to makeover kits (even though we’d have to get them anyways if we want to edit our existing characters).

I’d also like to see much more racial options, like charr horns, asuran ears, etc. There’s a lot of really good ideas on the forums from charr horns that look like deer/elk antlers to sylvari males getting plant beards. It’d be disappointing to say the least if we don’t get any new customization options with the release of Heart of Thorns.

I’m going to get the expansion regardless, but I gotta admit, the painfully slow trickle of information we’ve been getting about the whole thing isn’t exactly reassuring. I sure hope there’s a lot that has yet to be announced.

And just like the hissy fit that came with giving a free copy of the game to new players, having new characters have access to additional options for free while the characters of veteran players have to pay for those options will set off a firestorm that ANet doesn’t need or want.

There is a way new character appearance options come into the game and as a nice bonus it even helps pay salaries at ANet. Don’t expect them to shoot themselves in the foot for the privilege of giving their work away for free when they have a working model for monetizing this exact sort of labor.

But the only customization options they add are hair and faces. Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for more hairstyles and faces, but what about racial features, as I mentioned earlier with charr horns and stuff like that? Over the course of the game’s life they’ve added very little in that department, like a couple of norn beards, but that’s about it.

Simply put… charr horns! More charr horns please!

I’d love more customization too, and also more stuff to customize.
I’d love to be able to choose earrings, scars, and other accesories.

I think there are ways to do it while making most everyone happy, if it were something they (ArenaNet) wanted to do. For instance, they might add some new exclusives, “retire” some older exclusives to open use, and credit any character using one of the retired styles a free makeover kit.

I find it silly that you can modify the human female’s cheek width but you can’t do this on the male human. What gives with that?

I’d love more options in the expansion too, but I’d expect all newer options to be accessed via the makeover kit. Which I’m okay with that, it seems fair. I’d love to see more variety with some of the unnatural hair colors, I’d love to see a dark deep purple.

I’d like options to add degrees of thickness and muscle tone to the body presets. I’d also REALLY love the addition of some Human/Norn faces, skins (as in the actual UV texture map, not just the shader color), and hairstyles that are NOT Caucasian.
Even if you get creative with the sliders, there is only just so much you can do to make the character look like something other than a white person with a melanin injection.
