Where is the barber shop already?

Iove · January 2016

Seems like there is no news of it in the year ahead.

Much sadness.

Paulington · January 2016

They did mention it in the Year Ahead.

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.

They also mentioned it on ESO Live. It's not currently in the Q1 or Q2 plans which puts earliest release for the Barber Shop around July/August/September time but it may be even later.

Re customisation isn't the same as NEW hairstyles

Thank you though, I missed that.

Alucardo · January 2016

They have 80 other systems being worked on. Please be patient.

80. Other. Systems.

LOL

Iove · January 2016

I've been /feed backing this since Beta, I think I am patient.

TheShadowScout · January 2016

We have been patient since summer 2014. Patience is starting to wear thin...

For me, this is a constant vexation, as I am very keen on making my characters -just- as I imagine them, and find that no option to adjust things that looked all right in chargen, but not so good in live game makes things somewhat painful. Every time I play one character, I am miffed at the voice not matching my character idea. Every time I play another character, I am vexed by the reminder that I should have spent more thought on the name, even for "just an crafting alt", because by now I have grown rather fond of that character. Every time I run with one character, I wince at the hip shape that looks suboptimal while in motion. Et Cetera.

Thus I really want namechange, barbershop and character appereance recustomization. (I guess that race change thing people keep asking about would come with it as well, or be refitted at a later date... gender change could also be a thing... not that I'd see any reason to use those myself at this point, but... not opposed either).

And I really want is SOONER! I realize its not likely, but... I want this way more then some improved group finder, or even the final champion system phase...

Once its implemented, of course I would want... new and additional options?
I'd sooooo pig out on those... especially if they went for more then mere added hairstyles, makeups, tatoos and adornments...
Possibly cross-species eyecolor/haircolor/skincolor options, for those who like a touch of "halfbreed" in their backstory.
Perhaps even structural options, to allow some Lyris-fancying nords to play as "titanborn" and exceed the current height slider, or allow races to play as "dwarf" (not dwemer!) and be much shorter yet same width then the usual game-allowed shape... heck, I could see some people wanting other sliders to have a purchasable "exceed usual limitations" option (yes, I am talking about the female chest

).

zos takes a long timr on stuff

Elong · January 2016

No ETA.

BackFreckle · January 2016

No ETA

Iove · January 2016

I would love extra slider options, my high elf is a young one, maybe she shouldn't be so tall yet. Even though it's on minimum, still too tall

Same, I can't wait for this, it's the only thing that matters to me of all the updates since release. When it's out I will probably use it every week.

SemiD4rkness · January 2016

No ETA

Stranglehands · January 2016

When it's done, OP

I don't get it, it shouldn't take much effort. Other games add new cosmetic items and hairstyles etc really often. Sigh

The same issue I have with my Dunmer. She is supposed to be quite young. That doesn't make me hate the way she looks, though, unlike the issue I have with my Altmer.

As for my Altmer, the fact that she can't have black hair makes me always make her wear a hood. I don't buy hat-less costumes for her because that would make me have to see her hair every time I played in third person. There are a dozen of Altmer npcs in the game who have black hair and the Altmer could be made with black hair in previous TES games, so the excuse the support gave me when I pointed this out during beta ("Everything was done according to the lore") doesn't really hold any water. They gave the Dunmer a bunch of eye colors that they shouldn't really have, so why didn't they give the Altmer the hair colors that they SHOULD have?

So yes, I need more options too.

Iove · January 2016

Wow, I didn't know that about the NPCs, that sucks. I don't see why all the cosmetic restrictions. It wouldn't really harm anyone. All my chars have white hair, which is pretty much always an option, but I feel you. I don't play bosmer because they don't have real white hair. Yeah I'm obsessed

I have white/silver dyed hair irl.

I actually made a compilation of screenshots of black-haired Altmer in the game just in case someone say that it is not "lore accurate" :P
It didn't happen yet, but still.

I wasn't aware that Bosmer couldn't have a real white hair. That's awful. I know Khajiit can't have red hair (and there are TONS of red-haired Khajiit npcs in the game, including the most popular one, Raz). Nords can't have a true black hair either, but at least their darker hair color is a very dark brown (the darkest hair color for Altmer looks like chocolate milk ~.~).

Nikkor · January 2016

honestly in my opinion they are putting it off later in the year for financial reasons. They are stating on eso live and I mean Matt stated that many other things were proirty. Not that it was a hard system to do.

This is infuriating to me because I think the only thing that could be a high priority in the minds of the players would be cyrodill performance!

If you care about this I highly suggest you and all your friends create a few threads and bring it to their attention that this is a huge priority for us.

EQBallzz · January 2016

It's obvious they are being held up trying to determine how to monetize it. I mean everyone wants it so it's important to spend lots of internal resources researching the maximum amount that can be milked from players before going live. The question is how much of a haircut will you take getting a virtual haircut?

Anhedonie · January 2016

Don't worry, your grandchildren will be able to try it out.

Yeah and how many systems do you think are there?
1 - ESO and that's it?

Yeah it is unbelievable ... but that's how complex the game is....you just underestimating the game you are playing.

nordsavage · January 2016

I figure it will come with race change. This is logical since each race has different voice and physical feature options. Not to mention that you could not quite jump from a nord to an argonian without somethin needing altered. #Where'sMyTail?

There was news about it.

ADarklore · January 2016

I don't get how ZOS, a for-profit company, isn't putting this on the fast track for implementation. Clearly they would make a lot of money from this as it is the most commonly requested option... yet apparently "80 other systems" take priority- but how many of those will make ZOS a steady profit?!? I really think they need to reconsider making this a higher priority!

BlackEar · January 2016

Expect to see it with DB DLC

Junkogen · January 2016

It's not happening this year, I don't think. The way they worded it, it makes it seem like they'll have more news as the year progresses. It doesn't seem like they've made much progress.

It would be nice if one of those "80 systems" was the racial passive system. Probably not, but it would be nice. Everybody's gotta have a dream.

kevlarto_ESO · January 2016

ESO live Matt said both housing and Barber shop, will be in game this year, lets look at what we know, Q1 Thieves guild will be going on pts soon to be out by March or late Feb, Q2 Dark brother hood, so Q3 and Q4 unknown, logic would tell us one of those will include housing one will have the Barber Shop, plus other things I am sure, in a way we do have an ETA, just not an exact date time, which could change any way.

Remember Quakecon and all those promises? I wouldn't put too much stock in what they say is coming out over the next year. Who knows what systems will be broken over the next two dlcs. Like people have said, working on 80 systems. You think nothing's going to get screwed up with all that tinkering? Forgive me, if I don't share your optimism. I'll believe it when I see it.

They said there was going be a rebalancing of racial passives after the initial tweaks they did. Haven't heard a peep since. They say all kinds of stuff and never follow through on a whim. It's hard to take anything they say on their word alone.
