Would you like the option to buy hair and eye colors?

whitecrow · March 2022

Yes, if it is free

I wouldn't be interested in doing my eyes, it's not something that anyone would notice.

Marginis · March 2022

Yes.

Like I always say, more options is rarely a bad thing.

However, technically you can already buy changes with a character change token. Making it easier, more convenient, or cheaper (even free) would still be a plus though.

ectoplasmicninja · March 2022

Yes.

Absolutely. And all hair colours should be available to all races IMO. Leythen is an Altmer and has black hair, why can't we have it too? Tamriel is full of people changing their appearance with magic, just look at Alchemy!

They also need to iron out their adornment sections. Horns are not facial hair. Oracle eyes are not facial hair. Spiderkith eyes are not a head marking. Please make those things separate, it's (probably) not going to kill the hamsters if we're able to use beards and oracle eyes and antlers at the same time - but it would make for some cool shaman looking Bosmer.

Bradyfjord · March 2022

Yes.

I voted yes, but I think things like this should be in character creation default for ESO+. And the option to buy it for crowns should be present for those who prefer that option.

Sylvermynx · March 2022

Yes.

To me paying a monthly subscription and hoping ZOS chooses to use the money to add things you want and and are happy for your money to go towards sounds like a more unreliable and likely more expensive way of doing things.

I find it much more straight-forward (and often cheaper) to not subscribe and instead buy things from the crown store (using real money to get crowns) if I want them. That way I know exactly what I'm getting and what it costs, instead of hoping the arbitary amount I've paid in advance balances out with what I get from it. For me it's often cheaper too (especially since they reduced 2 releases a year down to a pair of dungeons so I'm only buying 1 chapter and 1 DLC).

Of course I'd like everything to always be free, but I'm old enough to understand that's not how the world works and the people at ZOS need to be paid for their work. But I want to know what I'm paying for and how much it costs when choosing whether to buy it.

I'm all for game companies getting paid for their work, but how much work is there in designing a few hair styles and how much do they have to charge the player to earn that back? How about radiant apex mounts? Is it really that much work to design those? There aren't millions going into development of such. There are millions raked in by selling crates with very low chance to loot any from them. Crates got nothing to do with playing the game. If you have to pay to not play, something is wrong with the game.

WoW runs for 18 years on subs alone. That's 10 years longer than ESO runs. Sure, there are some shop purchases in WoW too. But the balance of store items and things you can loot in the game is completely different from what we have in ESO. I don't see how sub only would be unreliable and more expensive.
I've played WoW for 14 years straight, day #1 player. Being able to grind for the good stuff kept me going on and on. I started ESO 6 months ago, subbed 3 months and I'm pretty much done with it already and haven't booted up the game in days, mainly because there is nothing nice to grind for. Buying the good stuff, without doing the work for it, is incredibly unrewarding.

phairdon · March 2022

Yes.

ESO could take a leaf out gw2's book - for hair dyes. We already get eyes as partof skins and azure eyes are available at the moment.

Mik195 · March 2022

If you want to be horrified, Google dyed eyes black.

It is silly that you can't change your hair color. I can create a potion that makes me invisible, but can't add a blue highlight to my character's hair. She's riding a pink glowy horse, but hair color is too much?

Bradyfjord · March 2022

Yes.

Exactly. I want my dunmer dk to have dark hair with fiery red tips.

Define ''free''.
Does free mean just given to every player without needing to do anything or does free mean purchasable with gold?

It did cross my mind, but i wanted a simple poll. Free for me is any that doesnt require real life money/crowns.

You also can't make armor pieces float in real life but eso manages that

drsalvation · March 2022

Yes.

Yeah, I regret I left my character's eyes blue (he was a vamp for a long time but I removed the curse and forgot his eyes were blue).
Using a whole appearance change token just for the eyes seems like overkill lol

Woozywyvern · March 2022

Yes.

The biggest reason we need this is that the current character creator screen has terrible lighting. Skin colour and hair colour there look different to actually being in game.

But I would love the option to do this, many a time have I wished I could switch my characters hair colour.

Toxic_Hemlock · March 2022

Yes.

It would be nice to have as a gold sink or low priced crown store option.

When you think of it logically you can dye your hair in real life with an easily bought ammonia based chemical, but dying your hair in a fantasy rpg requires an appearance change token?!?

Hair color has been used throughout history using bugs and plants. https://www.hairfinder.com/info/haircolor-history.htm

Eye color is a different matter however, so having a cost associated with it sounds fair to me.

Tommy_The_Gun · March 2022

Yes.

Hair / Skin / Eye colour should be available in crown store, just like we can buy the default hair styles & skin pattens packs. You know, the ones that are available during character creation. So those would still be "race - locked" - just like during character creation.

Ryuvain · March 2022

Yes, if it is free

So tired of hearing the term "monitize". What happened to making a great game that would make players happy? Happy players = more players = more paying.

Tbh in-game lore/story it's entirely possible to change your own appearance and even race with the right magic.

Grizzbeorn · March 2022

Yes.

This is the reason I'd like to see options available for both hair color and eye color.
Several times I've deliberated over an eye color in the CCS only to get into game and not like it, or just simply change my mind about it at some point.
Having to purchase an Appearance Change token just to change one attribute is frustrating as hell.

VaranisArano · March 2022

Eye color is used to denote certain races such as Dunmer, and it's not something that we see examples of eye-coloring-changing spells in the lore or other games. It doesn't seem to be something people in Tamriel change on a whim. They might use a facesculpter's services.

Hair color, on the other hand, is pretty easy to change with hair dye, and so I'm a little surprised that ZOS is so restrictive about how hair color changes and what colors each race can use. My Altmer had black hair in Skyrim, and there are black-haired Altmer NPCs, yet the best my character can get is medium brown? It's kinda sad.

It's especially egregious when the lighting in the character creation screen is so bad. I've made and then promptly deleted characters when I finished the tutorial and realized their hair color in the sunlight was too light, too dark, or just wasn't right.

not sure you know this, but it's insanely rare for dunmer to have eyes that aren't red.
meanwhile eso creating lets people do it easily.
I'm not sure how in a world of magic someone wouldnt be able to change their eye color, but ignoring the cannon people can already buy eye changers like the one in the current crown store.
and i'm pretty sure people aren't born with spiderknit eyes.

Me too - it takes me, even after all these years, between 3 and 5 deletions/recreations to get a character right.

My main was originaly a redguard, but i am a imperial fan so one day i decided to become imperial.
I created 10 imperials for the perfect look.
Yes took me 2 weeks.

Than once i changed my main i regreted the change. And used all my gold on 3 change tokens + a gifted one on christmas.

And this is why i only play one character.
Im ok with the look now, the ears trigger me a bit sometimes, but no solution there. Its a eso problem.
I just pretend my imperial is part elf. Really small part.
Like grandma's grandma was a high elf

Especialy because i have zero gold

Sylvermynx · March 2022

Yes.

And I have a multitude of alts so I can have ALL the looks, ALL the races (except orc and argonian), and ALL the classes (except necro).

Yes! When I created my main there was a slight bluish cast on her hair from the color of the "room", which is what I intended, but when my character came out the other end her hair was grey. I keep telling myself it's silver...

DP99 · March 2022

Yes, that’s one thing that DCUO has over this game! All colors are free and in sliders! You can make your hair, eyes and gear any colors you want at any time!

Because Zos rarely offers free free free, and if we want them to take notice and listen to our ideas, we usually have to appeal to their money hungry side.

There haven't actually been many ideas that have come into fruition just because someone said it should be monetized, so I'm not sure why that's the perception.

alberichtano · March 2022

Only if it was free. You can already buy a appearence change ticket so to pay for more of what already exists seems pointless.

_Medusa_ · March 2022

Yes.

Please add dyes for Major and Minor Adornments as well.

Maybe they could add a housing item, like the dye station, that allows you to change hair, eye and adornment colors for all your characters?
