Will there be Variety?

I have been following WAR for a while now, and I keep running into a issue about the game. The abundance of careers and races are nice, but it seems that everyone with the same career looks exactly the same.
All the squid hunters are the same height, size, color, and gender. This is the same for all the other careers. I fear that the customizability is really low. I do understand you can wear those relics or w.e. signifying accomplishments, but the characters look exactly the same. Also the low lvl cap may further restrict the variety in the game.

Well they already said that they want everyone to be able to see someone and immediately know what class they are. In the end game though everyone is wearing armor so it really don't matter what you look like anyway.
Sent me an email if you want me to mail you some pizza rolls.
Trophies for your char will make you look different, also they have mentioned i think 30 end game gear sets for each class that will make you look different.
There are the masteries which will not really make you look different but let you play a different way than other classes.

At the conventions players get "pre made" characters thats why they always look the same. There's various systems for customization beyond that like trophies, a 2 tone armor dye system, various armor sets so you can make yourself look quite unique.
Level cap never has anything to do with variety. Variety is measured in numerous ways and a level is only just one of them. Level gets you to cap in WAR....Renown allows you to continue building on your characters. Check out the website on the renown system its where you buy stats, tactics & some morale abilities from for further customization.
I personally don't think there's a huge variance on models like say EQ2 or Vanguard style since they want the game to be able to handle lots of toons in the same zone and when you allow for modification on the model beyond say small things like face, hair, skin color, etc it starts slowing down the system. So I'm betting everyone will stay the same height & weight (like the miniatures! rofl) but will still alow you to build a 'look' for your toon as far as facial, hair, skin, and eye features.
During any game's beta phase you won't see that much customization gear wise. Even AoC didn't have that much beyond its model appearance for customization during beta, neither did WoW, EQ2 etc.
I am pretty sure it was just 30 armor sets, not 30 end game armor sets.

thats not to bad ... 5 sets per Tier (if there's 20 per class and every tier gets an equal set) and additional sure to be added through content updates & expansions.
I also guess there are less sets in tier 1 than tier 2 etc. Not to mention they will add more.

a couple of things i want to point out ...
1. it's beta . there will be more armor sets in release . im not sure if they will be in on day 1 but they will be putt in . if the game is stable and fairly bug free once released, Mythic will have plenty of time to add different armor type's / looks .
2. a lot of the screen shots and videos you have seen are from the older beta tests . we have pre made templates so we can get right into the thick of things and test exactly what needs to be tested at any given moment . with the guild beta now underway , you will start to see some different armor sets.
Actually, there will be no variety. I'm in the beta test, and they haven't released this info yet, but I'll give it to you straight.
They said they cut 4 classes? Actually, they cut 23 classes. There will only be 1 class, and everyone will play that same class. Everyone will play a tank.
Also, there is only one gender, male. They cut all the female characters out of the game.
Not only that, but there is only one set of gear for the whole game, so everyone will have the exact same gear.
Last but not least, there are only 3 levels. Once you reach level 3, you are maxed out.
On the plus side, this makes it easy to balance the game.

if Mythic decides to turn the BO and IB into melee DPS with 10 K HP this statement might hold true ! lol

not only that, but there is only one career mastery and you only have 1 button to push.

Obviously you are not in beta. There are no buttons to push. You just walk around, and your character auto attacks without any input from you.

Is the game now in black and white, too? Think the presence of color would add some level of customization.

Now here's someone that's obviously actually in the beta. That is correct. You stare at a white screen, and you might think nothing is happening, but when you hear a small beep from the speakers, sort of like the sound a clowns nose makes, that means you've attacked something.
It's very innovative.

but that beep happens at the same time for everyone...need to keep the game balanced!

LMAO thinking of millions of players sitting in front of a white screen listening to a beep, and thinking they are playing an awesome MMO.
This is going to be a HUGE hit.
