Haha, I looove this one, so gonna buy it

Just to be clear, I'm a female with excellent taste of style. Though I do not expect all females share my taste.

Sometimes ZOS are direction, needs better direction.

That said... can we get a "code" for a character we've generated, so it would be easy to input the same features and duplicate a character, so modify a "good" build?

That's called taking a screenshot of the settings

I also agree that we need more long hair. I picked this one hair because it was the longest, and it wasn't even long. My hair is longer than that irl.

I'm also frustrated with a lot of the asymmetry in the bangs of hair, and the lack of bangs on many nice ponytails. It'd be nice to be able to choose the bangs separate from the hairstyle, but I know I'm asking for too much.

Nicer longer hairstyles is a small request. I hope they hear us out.

I keep thinking getting nice and long hairstyles is a small request too. Yet despite players asking overwhelming for it since launch we still don't have it. My excitement for the Style Parlor (and my preparedness to buy crowns) was completely dashed when I went into PTS and saw what they actually plan to offer.

Anything to add here @ZOS_GinaBruno and @ZOS_JessicaFolsom ? Anything at all???

I think about male players here as well - I know a couple players, who were excited about getting long beards with this DLC - but nothing - I guess, when ZOS will finally come out with those beards, the excitement has cooled down to nearly nothing and it is not that easy to excite men again on something where they came to the conclusion "whatever, nevermind" already - a missed opportunity for ZOS. And the longer it lasts for us females, the more we might just join in and think "whatever".

Currently, this is the longest hairstyle available for men:

This is the longest hairstyle available for women:

And this hairstyles is the longest that is available to both men and women and is actually the longest of the bunch:

I was actually expecting to see a LOT of new hairstyles AT LEAST as long as this third one, for both sexes, because of the high player demand and constant feedback ZOS has been getting on this topic since LAUNCH. But... nope. WHY???

Lara1701 · August 2016

Honestly, I'd love short hairstyles just as much as long. A lot of the shorter cuts for men would be perfect for female characters and it's sooooo not fair that we can't have them!

Here we have a hairstyle from an upcoming MMO/Survival game:

Notice that it is:
Long
Beautiful
Is crafted in such a way that it will not clip with armors or be otherwise graphically unwieldy DESPITE being long and beautiful.

And yet THESE are the hairstyles you are planning on offering for sale in the cash shop:

Can we ask why? Every single thread regarding barber shop, style parlor, hair, etc. has had people overwhelmingly asking you for LONG hair. Did ANYONE honestly ask for a single one of these hairstyles? Now granted, I am posting the ones I found the most unattractive but there is also the fact that not a SINGLE solitary one of the new hairstyles (that have not even been offered in the cash shop yet despite having been on PTS) is LONG. None of them are even as long as the two longest styles already available in the game. Is there a legitimate reason you seem to be ignoring the requests of players in this regard? If so, PLEASE share your reasoning with us. @ZOS_JessicaFolsom @ZOS_GinaBruno

Number four made me almost fall out of my chair laughing.

ZoS What are you smoking, can you share?!

I don't see any reason why all the hairstyles aren't unisex myself. Makes no sense.

This would probably be too complicated (I keep trying this in real life as I'm a feisty blonde) but anything similar would be amazing!

Lagertha!

Can't wait for the second part of season 4 to air.

Exactly, everything should be unisex. Makeup, hair, piercings, tatoos, etc.

I've wanted that hair SO badly. There's just absolutely NO short hair for female characters that isn't a buzz or a mohawk. It's absurd! Can't even rock that Brienne or Arya look! But really, just make all the hairstyles gender neutral like costumes. NO reason to keep them genderlocked.

Yep. In a world where your big burly male Nord can PvP in a wedding dress there's no reason why he can't have nice makeup and earrings to match!

And if your female character wants a decent "tomboy" look, she should be freakin' able to do it. Especially when the NPCs already can! It's just obnoxious!

Don't even get me started on all the things the NPCs have that are NOT available to us. It makes me so mad!

It's just so frustrating. New stuff comes out in other MMOs with DLC or expansions... so their stores offer that same gear at the same time. There's no sense or reason with the ESO store. I wish their was. I would spend more money! Creating false product shortages, overpricing services with bulk costs that should be itemized, never letting us use in-game currency in any way, releasing content for NPCs and then never or much later putting it on the store, inconsistent quality, items for sale for such a short time you can't purchase it because you were on vacation or too busy lately with work and the kids... I mean it's just madness. It's not user friendly. It's not customer friendly. It's an obnoxious blight on a game I generally adore and rave about.

ZOS does so much right, but when they do something wrong they really go for the gold.

after seeing the poor quality Breton hero costume i have zero confidence long hair would look good in this game

Hair aesthetics in this game are really bad overall I have to admit. It's like hair was completely an afterthought and someone let their high school cousin do it for cheap. I had high hopes that the style parlor would change that. No such luck.

I can't agree enough with everything you say here. It's baffling and maddening.

Here's hoping Fallout Online learns from ESO's mistakes.
