i can't stress this enough. The launch was smooth compared to other experiences, but i really don't want to delete a character i've spent my whole sunday with.

Yes please. Give us a reroll on the characters to make up for the bumpy launch.

Yes its a confirmed bug. The zoom works now, but I can't log back onto my original character instead. Yay me.

Thanks Runihura for this post. I wanted to write something similar and was happy someone had done it before me.

People who weren't happy with their character looks were afraid to delete it and reroll for several reasons:

1. They were afraid to lose the preorder / Imperial edition items. We know that many people who did delete their characters lost the items.
2. They were afraid their desired character name would be taken by the time they recreate the character.
3. They were afraid to get stuck in a queue when trying to log back in.

Please give us a chance to change the look of our characters, at least those rolled while the zoom bug was present. I remember EverQuest II offering such an option for free. It shouldn't be hard to implement code-wise.

The character creator is somewhat primitive and not what you'd expect for a AAA title launch.

- Hair colors that change hue and even the entire color when you switch hairstyles. (red should not change to light brown, for example)
- Sliders need identifiers at each 'stop' to help players determine what setting they're using for a given look. Numbers or names for each one would go a long way to helping during character creation, especially if you want to use similar settings between characters.
- 'Head Marking' needs to be split into more categories. Lip and eye color need to be removed from this catch all, and given their own slider, and all three need a color slider/wheel to improve their utility during character creation. More options are always better than less.
- 'Body Marking' needs a color slider/wheel.
- 'Voices' needs something other than repeating 'laughter' to properly gauge what a given voice sounds like. A few spoken words instead of endless maniacal laughing or screaming would be more helpful. The 'choices' currently available all mostly sound the same when screaming or laughing, especially on the female elven races. Several of the females sounded like they had far too much testosterone in them.
- 'Face Type' needs some sort of indicator, be it a hex setting at the bottom, or numerical indicators next to each of the points on the triangles, so that the settings have some sort of meaning, other than dragging a dot around the screen in the box. If you want to create another character with a similar facial structure, or perhaps a friend wishes to use some of the same settings you have, there's no way to determine what you did, other than trial and error. (The same thing applies to all of the settings, really. There's nothing there to help you recreate a given look, other than wasting time experimenting until you find the right settings again.)
- The skin tone selections in many cases are virtually useless, most of the time going up or down one selection makes no visible difference in tone at all.
- Male hair styles appear to be cut and pasted directly from the females in most cases. I suppose that's awesome if you want to create a gender bender runway model, but if you're trying to create something that looks like a warrior, you don't have many options.
- 'Adornment' contains items such as scars, facial hair, etc.. this could be split into something a little less 'catch all' and a lot more useful. Yes, technically they fit under the term 'adornment' but instead of being a useful category, it looks like someone got lazy and threw in random parts left over from something else.

Everything's fine except the female stance. Can we please get our ladies to stand up straight during character creation? The men stand up straight and it's easy to get proportions right when creating. The women? Not to be crass, but I'm afraid I can't figure out which ass cheek and leg is the one I'm supposed to be looking at when adjusting her posterior.

Not one single person /signed this thread, and rather fully voiced their opinion as you've asked. Nitpicking the thread name isn't helping anyone, Tristan.

Someone in a different discussion on this same issue suggested a free makeover or something to that effect for your existing character. Or even if it did cost a few ingame gold that would be fine. Not sure how possible that is at this point. But that would resolve this whole issue. You wouldn't have to worry about deleting anything or losing the stuff you paid money for etc.

I know that I had this issue, and I am fairly unhappy with the facial scar I ended up choosing, but I also had another issue (one that I know at least one other person who has also experienced it).

This issue is that when naming the character, the field would only accept lowercase letters. This left me with a character whose name was "first last" rather than "First Last". I would like to request that people who experienced this glitch have a choice of capitalizing their character names properly. It's very minor, but at the same time it is a huge part of my character, and I would really like for that to be fixed.
