    I agree with you about the character customization.  One thing this game needs is better facial customization.
    One of the reasons everyone looks exactly alike is that there are no real options for changing the shape of your face.

    Totally agree man.  I 'hate' the facial hair and the fact that every human man is a square jawed 'action hero' look.  The facial hair on some of the NPC's is exactly what I wanted for my character... light stubble, not a big thick MOUND of what looks like coloured elephantitis growth on my face.

    I remember meeting a ranger who had exactly what I wanteded and I was just like 'C'mon! It's IN THE GAME! Grrr... I just can't look like that.'  But yeah hopefully they'll add better facial customization.  The body customization was fine.  Ok, not great. Does the job.  But hair/facial hair could use a lot more options for sure.  Even if new options don't come in abundance with the next update, they at least have the ability to add more from now on.  And I LOVE that changing appearance is quite cheap.  It'd be ridiculous to ask for anything more than 10s.

    Why do I write, create, fantasize, dream and daydream about other worlds? Because I hate what humanity does with this one.

    BOYCOTTING EA / ORIGIN going forward.

    Heh, I think it's a Turbine thing.  I just DLed DDO today for the heck of it, and the only thing you can change on the male human face are the eyes, lips and nose.   Kind of like Mr. Potato Head.

    They are both made with the same engine....the AC2 engine.

    After reading that I was like 'What? No way!' So I looked a bit into it.. Here's a screenshot from AC2 [Spot Breetown from LotRO hehe] followed by a picture of Breetown from LotRO:

    Its best we get the almost guarenteed phrases out of the way the anti turbine lotro trolls will use once they read this.

    "its not free,theyre just fooling you into paying for things that didnt make release"

    "free?youre paying a sub arent you??"

    "about time the game actually got some content"

    "gotta love turbine fanbois and their spin"

    "this game sucks and is losing subs every day. these 'free updates' are nothing more than a desperate attempt by turbine to hang onto its hemmorhaging player base"

    there we go,that should throw them off course a little.

    why everyone on this games keeps saying "free updates" baffles me. EVERY MMO UPDATES AND ITS FREE. if they handed out a full free expansion, thats a diffrent story, but there just regualr updates they SHOULD be doing, and more often because its new and needs alot added to keep folk around.

  • zanfirezanfire Member UncommonPosts: 970

    also on the armour deal....why is that even worth it, you want to do somthing smart, make the damn armour you have or add more that looks good and LOOKS DIFFRENT by class or even race at times, this game has a horrible problem w/ that deal. u look at someone, and unless u check them, you have not a clue if they are high or low lvl, or any bland idea what class, they need a serious makeover for class/race/lvl specific stuff. i wanna be able to jog through a main city and see "well theres a few high lvl tanks" or "hey mabey il help out that newbie looking minstrel". sadly this game doesnt have that feeling at all yet. i think more of its due to a restricting IP. would of been better for them to do a spin off or somthing so they could have huge freedome from the IP, but what can you do.
