Redo our appearance?

zantsuken

Is there a way to redo our appearance if we wanted to?

Elloa

Barbershop is currently being developed and will be released - it has been said- after Darbrotherhood, so probably Q3

Here some example of new haircuts you may find

They say they're working on it (so no time soon).

Turelus

As others have already said it's in the works and should be coming later this year.

I believe they're also allowing race change with this and will be doing a rebalance of the racial passive skill at this time as well.

One can only hope.

ListerJMC

Not at the moment, it's a frequently-requested feature on these forums. It will be available later this year apparently, I really hope sooner rather than later!

@ZOS give me this hair now

Acrolas

Yes, can't wait for the Dollhouse expansion bundle with pony unicorn pet, pink mammoth mount, and 5 random crown dyes...
It'll be hours of Faaaaaabulous...

To be honest race change is a good idea. My character is an Imperial but i felt like i had to be one just because i bought into the imperial edition console release.

At least now i can switch to somthing else since the passives do not reflect my playstyle.

Also, the more money zos makes the better. We need Zos to upgrade their servers which will cost a lot. This is a money maker we need.

Turelus

@GreenSoup2HoT from everything I have heard on ESO Live and the forums it seems they will add this, most likely as a Crown Store purchase (get ready for the rage threads when that's announced/released).

They've said that they're holding off on any major balance work for racial passive as well as adding anything extra (racial ultimates) until this option is available however as they don't want players to feel they got screwed by committing to a race without knowing what ultimates/rebalances would bring.

GreenSoup2HoT

@Turelus I highly doubt racial ultimates will ever be a thing. Racial balance will come though, which is where players may complain.

In the end, its just a good consumer feature to have.

slumber_sandb16_ESO

I just hope it will be a full character customization and not just hair styles. I want to change body shape, scars, voice etc. All of it.

Silver_Strider

I just want to change the spikes/feathers on my Argonian characters a little but isn't a deal breaker for me as I'm usually with a hoodie of some kind nowadays.

TheShadowScout

"No ETA"...
But as has been mentioned, they did announce it in their "Year Ahead", in the "DLC and Update Plan" section:

Longer term, expect to see information about systems like a character customization shop so you can change your character's gender, appearance, name, etc., player housing, and other systems that we'll announce in the future. We'll have much more information about all of these as the year progresses.

Since they discussed the Q1 Thieves Guold and Q2 Dark brotherhood DLCs before that, chances are it will come in Q3 at the earliest. And yes, it seems likely the race change option that keeps getting mentioned now and then will also come with, or in the wake of this feature.

And indeed, it is somwhat vexing for those of us who have been eagerly waiting for this ever since the barbershop was first announced back in late 2014... doubly so since the dark brotherhood DLC would have been the -perfect- place for it (I mean... who would be more keen on using "plastic sorcery" to change their face then assassins whose likeness becomes too well known and plastered on wanted posters all over the realms? )
So yes, many here are feeling disappointed at reading that it is still "longer term" and wish we would get character recustomization...
Sooner! Sooner! Sooner!

Did they actually say 'race change' - like from dunmer to argonian? I never heard them say race.... as much as I hope they will....?

I really do hope so. As it is now, I think race plays too big a role in creating a character and it messes with interfaction balance.

They mentioned it, in other places.

Its only logical... all too many people while about their racial passives, all too many of those would pay for it... people paying for it makes them profit... implementing it wouldn't be too hard, thus not cost them that much paid effort... so I expect it will come.

I might not be changing any of mine (since I make my characters after a character idea, and couldn't care less about that last two persentabe points i could get though racials), but I am also not having a problem with others getting the option (hey, if they pay a good chunk of crowns for it... that just finances more ESO fun for me all the sooner, right?)

Shader_Shibes

IF it's released in q3, that will be about 2 years since it was first mentioned, which is bs tbh. Also, I'd rather ZOS just gave us race changes instead of trying to balance races, we all know how good they are at balancing stuff ^^

Do you guys really want race changes? I mean, that would essentially kill leveling after 4 characters.

Depends on how much it costs to make changes... as many people won't want to spend real cash to constantly change their race... and besides, once VR is removed, all you have to do is level to 50 and your character will be leveled to your account's max level character. So people may still want alts of various races, I know I will, but won't have to grind or quest beyond level 50 to level them to max.

Last time they mentioned the barbershop, they also mentioned that they're working on '80 other systems' before this one... but hope to have it out around Q3 of this year.

I mean - you're right bro. It's the reason I would like a race change - so I don't have to pour all that time and money into another toon.....

I'm going to do it anyway.... by the time they 'maybe' implement race change I'll have her levelled anyways.....

Soon. .

ZoS M.O.: two years in and they are "working" on an element that most MMORPGs have from the beginning. I remember something about Enforcers and Spellcrafting being worked on too...

BUT, if they can put it in the cash shop, I'm actually surprised they haven't implemented it yet.

Since they obviously have no problem finding time for making cosmetics lets hope they are planning on making the barbrer shop either completley free or part of a bigger DLC. Since just as you said, they could easily make one and put it in the crown store yet they havn't

Not likely to happen.

They have to spend effort to make it. Pay their code jockeys to add the feature without breaking the rest of the game (and afterwards, possibly fix the things they might have overlooked) They have to make an investment to add this, and they need to show something of an profit or the suits will pull the plugs on the ESo servers. Thus is almost certainly Will be crown-fuelled.

At best they might be generous and allow "everyday" changes like getting a new haircut or chancing adornments for a mere gold cost. Maybe they will make it as one-time purchase, like a DLC - pay once, use as often as you like. But most games have it as "pay per change" feature, so that is what I sort of expect... and hope for them making it as a small fee per slider changed instead of a large fee to enter recustomization screen or the like...
