Deer CCP,
Please wave the Swap Character Portrait fee for a few weeks at least. A lot of people would like to have the opportunity to tinker with their Portrait before they become immortalized into the fabric of eve forever. Thanks for your time.
A Valued Customer,
P.S. If you support this Idea, Keep bumping it to the top of the forums! Thanks!

The in-game documentation and intuitiveness of the new character creation is so lacking that this is the least CCP could do. __________________________

I think that would be an easier way for them to deal with it than petitions. Lord knows some of us need redos.
A simple waiver for 30 days would allow folks to get it done and get something they'd like.

Yes please and while your at it, tell me how to get my hood back. I never saw a hood while creating my character but I see some people with hoods on.
How did they get a hood? Why couldn't I?
At the very least give us one more try. A lot of people didn't realize the "save" button was the "I am completely happy with my character for the rest of eternity" button.

Second...uh, third...um...damn...well, I agree. I made my avatars early this morning before posts started showing up about being careful about choosing which snapshot to pick. With all four snaps on one side it appeared that we would be able to choose daily depending on our mood.
PS: I don't really remember, but weren't the snapshots a small in comparison to our regular sized pics on the character selection screen? Just sayin'.

I thought there was already a way to change your portrait if you weren't happy.
If not, then CCP really should offer some means of changing it at least for the first 2 weeks or so...

While I'm fine with my character portrait, I will admit that I was originally under the impression that we'd be able to select from the four portrait icons. I only realized that was not the case from my experience on singularity. This is not made clear in the portrait editor and now many people have unpleasant portraits as a result.
Waive the fee, at least temporarily, or at least allow for one free edit. More than anything, make sure that it is made clear what peoples portraits will look like before they finalize the process.

My main didn't turn out too bad, but I did it in a rush, and would like to explore the possibilities. And I really miss all the cables coming out of my head, on my old character! I really think the character creator should have had the capabilities of off-line use, then upload it to the server from your hard drive once you were satisfied. Anyways, 30 days would be nice! Oh, BTW! I think, Kat o'Ninetails gets my vote for the most stoned looking. LOL!

I oppose this idea. As a pathological griefer, I think all those stupid people who failed creating proper character outlooks and portraits should suffer for their ignorance, just to learn and become better people eventually. All these threads and all the crying after every patch just makes me want to use smartbombs to dissolve this crowd.

Agreed - I'd feel bad for petitioning for it (and would be very worried about it going wrong..again) but the option to adjust our portraits with the automated system for free (just for a couple of weeks) would be great.
The complete lack of any guidance in the creation process and no confirmation box when clicking "next" means there are a lot of accidents and missed features (poses in portrait mode for example).

I agree. I was lucky getting mine acceptable so to say. But it was pure luck. It was just by accident stuck on the good portrait of the 4. Absolutely no warning about the emminent editor exit.
A month or a few weeks to tweak and try would be nice. Instead of those 100000 petitions. --------------------------------------

/Signed. I couldn't use high quality, so turned down all the settings so the process would be smoother. Wasn't until I got to the posing process I found out that none of the posing/lighting settings actually work on the low settings. Couldn't change settings without losing character completely. My portrait turned out way different when rendered in high quality than it did when I clicked save.

Why not have them customisable? Atleast some features, like hair, makeup and pose on the portrait.
For the girls: Who would want to be stuck with a bad makeup choice for the rest of your life?
Or Hair style? or beard?
Or having to have to wear the same damn outfit for 6 years... (my old char had started to smell seriously.... and the shoulder spikes that seemed like a good idea at first got boring fast...

Well I must say that most people make their girls look way over the top. Very dark make up makes a lot of characters look old and witchy, for instance. ________________* - If you're in favour of a bloodline change please vote in the Assembly Hall in this thread - |

Fully agree, some people are really unhappy with the lack of warning or indication. The four portrait system was not overly clear (yes the help icon did explain but how many of the male population of eve players clicked that, honestly :P ) and many have ended up not how they thought or completely ridiculous. |

As the ingame version looks nothing like the preview in the editor, I would very much like that. Also there is NO further warning when clicking "Save" in the editor.. so I had not really much choice than look like I had 2 weeks without sleep.

I oppose this idea. As a pathological griefer, I think all those stupid people who failed creating proper character outlooks and portraits should suffer for their ignorance, just to learn and become better people eventually. All these threads and all the crying after every patch just makes me want to use smartbombs to dissolve this crowd.
http://support.eveonline.com/Pages/KB/Article.aspx?id=336 is this true, does CCP oppose What the original poster said? Probably not since they wont do anything about it.

When I hit the "save" button it didn't even ask me to confirm my character creation... For a lot of us this is our first time using the character creator. I had NO IDEA what the "save" button even did. I just clicked it crossing my fingers it wouldn't finalize my character. Sadly I was wrong...
Please make this right for us CCP. Thank You.

please let me fix this atrocity.
I didn't realize save was the absolute end. I thought there would be a confirmation dialog box at the end.
I petitioned in-game (feel bad doing that considering there are probably people with game breaking issues) but this is really important to me.
Just waive the fee for a day or even a few hours. Would mean the world to me and many others to get another chance.

I like the way my character turned out, but just like the old system the portrait that gets created never looks quite how it aught to, and you really need to check it out in game before you can judge it. The ability to change the portrait stage of character creation whenever you want to, and sure i supposed clothing and makeup too, would be welcome. I think it should just be added as part of the game.

After looking at the Male Minmatar settings, I am VERY disappointed - the settings on Sisi for lighting alone were 10x better, and the lips look like they have perma-red lipstick on (definitely not a look I want my avatar to have).
Not to mention that in-game the AA levels on the avatars is unacceptably low. My avatar's collar looks like a staircase!

Originally by: Turix The in-game documentation and intuitiveness of the new character creation is so lacking that this is the least CCP could do.
Yeah, when I did my first char I totally missed the fact that I could drag bits of the face/body around, so I'm stuck with a totally random face for my first char. I don't really like the new look for the bloodline of the other one, but that's a more complicated problem .

I agree with the op.
Actually I logged on today to change portrait. I made my modeling, went to the stage where you take pictures. I took a couple. And then pressed the button "save" thinking it will either 1. let me save all the pictures I just took becase that is what "save" means, or 2. Ask for confirmation (a pop up window with yes or no choices).
It did neither. Instead, it made the last scene of my char before I pressed "save" my portrait, without the option to change it. So my char is now with a less optimal portrait because CCP hasn't got their UI straight.
If the button says "save", it does not mean "make this pic portrait". Or else what is the point of having the option to take 4 portraits on that screen? I was lead into the impression that I can review all 4 at full size before choosing which one to be my portrait.
This is a UI blunder, and please amend it.

Pretty much. The save button should at the very least call up the preview image that was created and show it at full res so we can see what the results are and accept/reject them. The small preview windows micro-stamps on the side offer zero help in determining the final look of a picture.

I agree, although my toon is pretty hot I did not realize hitting "Save" was the end of line and I did not realize the last snapshot I had selected would be the one I got stuck with, I assumed SAVE would bring me to another screen where I would get to choose between the 4 tiny little snapshots you can barely even see.
So I got stuck with a hot toon, with terrible lighting and want to be able to go back and pick another snapshot that had better lighting.

Carbon is an amazing tool, but so is the person that thought it would be a good idea for the button to finalize your eve face forever to read "next", implying there was another stage to the character creation, instead of "finish" or "end".
As a result i am one of the many people who are stuck with the portrait they made last, rather than the best one.
Also a confirmation box reading "ARE YOU ABSOLUTELY SURE?" would have been basic common sense, come on.

This also, there is no indication that you can only have 1 portrait - it seems like you will be able to swap them, but nope. CCP its only right that you let us re-do for a while, and or fix this in someway.

Hopefully they resolve this with a free portrait swap along with a confirmation when creating a portrait. If they don't resolve this then it's just a scam to charge for portrait swaps since it was designed in a way that masses of people would mess up by letting them take 4 pictures without any indictation or confirmation that the higlighted photo was the final.

For the next several weeks, we are allowing players to choose whether or not they would like to use the character creator immediately, or to take some time, play with it, or consider how they want to design their gorgeous characters. It does not mean that you will be able to design and redesign your character after you've accepted your portrait. " although people are saying about a portrait swap... i don't have a free character slot in order to do this. and i am sure that many other people are in the same boat as i
so i really don't think they will do anything about this

I'm sorry, but CCP could do WAY more than just waive the fee. They should offer us some sort of server for us to test the character creator on. Then make it free for anyone with a subscription. Then put instructions on their website on how to easily access this server. Then let us know THREE MONTHS before deployment so we have plenty of time to test it out before it hits Tranquility.

The portrait creation stuff is great ! A simple grace period of a week or so to edit a portrait would eliminate the massive influx of petitions and make everyone from the gamers to the GMs' lives a hell of a lot better. Please also add a preview button so you can see "Wanted" etc across the avatar as it may actually appear in the game. thanks for your time.

The lack of guidance was a bit annoying especially the final 4 snapshots, I thought we'd be able to swap or something.
On low graphics spec systems (like my laptop) the editor is fairly horrible to use, I'd love to try it on my desktop, the sculpting is just not responsive on systems without dedicated graphics.
CCP a grace time to freely alter our avatars, or even a single re-do would be great please. I really doubt this will cost you much in lost revenue and will save a lot of people getting annoyed |

The only reason I'm very satisfied, is because I spent hours playing with the creator on Sisi.
However, lets say that the first character I created on Sisi, was in fact my actual character on Singularity. I would absolutely want the chance to redo it! Because my first character looked TERRIBLE, since I hadn't explored all aspects of the creator yet.
So, 4 or 5 characters later, (Made on Sisi) this guy that you see is the result.
I definately support this. Players should have just as much time to explore the creator as I did. Especially since the new creator is such a drastic change form the old one.

Agreed. Offering 4 picture slots then using the last one you were working on without explanation or a chance to confirm is not at all fair. Mine isn't horrible, but all three of the others were better, which makes me sad, like my avatar.

also, where are the amarr hoods, khanid face helmets, caldari face implants, minmatar masks and tattoos? where has all this stuff gone? I dont think anyone has a character that looks remotely like their original.

àalso, you have to wonder, what does the "Swap portrait" (and character transfer) service actually do after this patch? Does it transfer the entire body, or just the face?
I can certainly see some interesting meta-griefing going with that one: "buy this character, it looks great" (apart from the Jabba-like slug appendages you don't see because they're outside the frame) ùùù ôIf you're not willing to fight for what you have in ≡v≡à you don't deserve it, and you will lose it.ö ù Karath Piki |

There was no indication of which of the four images would get used, the documentation on this new system was lousy, sorry CCP but it was.
I'm very happy with the actual avatar design, I just need the chance to redo my portrait. I got told on help channel to create a petition so I did. It's pretty obvious this was borked othrewise we wouldn't have so many people screaming on this thread. Come on ccp, do the right thing.

In-game, you're seeing your local render. Out-of-game (and in chat and the like) you see the server render. Lucky for you, the server didn't pick up on the fact that you were blinking, and your in-game image will be replaced by that one in a day or so (unless you remove it manually). ùùù ôIf you're not willing to fight for what you have in ≡v≡à you don't deserve it, and you will lose it.ö ù Karath Piki |

I was making all my portait shots and clicked 'next' to and to my horror it chooses whatever your mouse was selected on. In this case, I made a stupid side-on pose to look like blue steel from Zoolander.
I was expecting to see a high-res layout of each picture or something.
NOW IM STUCK WITH THIS POSE!
I thought there would be some confirmation that I'd be stuck with this stupid picture FOREVER unless i pay you money to.

There should be an option in the character selection screen to reset your avatar for at least the next 30 days, for new subs this could be all of you first month for instance.
I dont look like prostitute or a junkie, but a +1 for being able to change it for a while, also they shoul dlet us freely switch between all the portrait we take at char creation, different moods and so on. You might have a different portrait for PVP then you do for mining, like you ming portrait could have it eyes closed and so on...

Edited by: Lady Reverie on 19/01/2011 02:20:45 The Character Creator is nice, and I'm glad I was able to get my new avatar to look 85% of what I was hoping when I created my old avatar (and that one was only ~70%), but if the avatars are permanent (or require microtransactions to change), there needs to be a bit more transparency with the Character Creator.
1) I didn't try this out because I didn't want to risk it, but you have a "Next" button on the Customization screen that scares the bejeezus out of me. Please at least tooltip it so people know whether it advances you to the Portrait screen or completes the process.
2) An explanation is needed for the four snapshot concept. I don't recall it saying anywhere on the page that we'd only be able to keep one, or that the one we have highlighted is the one we keep. Perhaps I arrived at the wrong conclusion -- it looked like we'd be allowed to take four different portraits and switch as we please -- but for a conclusion it was hardly far-fetched given the lack of information. Given how small the snapshot previews were, it didn't seem like they were for the purpose of comparison. I was happy with all four snapshots, thankfully, but if I knew right there and then I'd only get to keep one (and wouldn't be prompted to confirm my choice), I may have made a different choice.
So amazing job on the Character Creator -- I could only wish other MMOs would have as advanced a character creation system -- but any decent interface designer would have noted the ambiguities. It would have been that much nicer without the "public outrage" you see here. =P

I have to agree here. I too thought we could select from the four so I didn't even bother to select the "best one". While I am not unhappy with my character, I would like to redo the avatar snapshot. Too bad they just don't allow you to redo the snapshots, maybe once a week or something. Anyway, I support this thread. :)

Seconded, specially when you have MANY PROBLEMS WITH DIFFERENCES BETWEEN CLIENT AND SERVER RENDERED PORTRAITS.
you give us an awesome tool to make our char portraits and then all gets lost on the way to the server, what a waste of time

A BEAUTIFUL character creator. The only problem we face is that now as we move towards Incarna we face a serious issue. EVE has always neglected the character portrait to focus on the ships themselves and the space combat. Every other MMO out there focuses on the character itself. Because of this, CCP has never found it viable to offer a constant option to change character visuals.
As Incarna is slowly becoming a reality we face that being able to retake portraits and redesign characters at a whim (a moderately priced in game ISK whim) will be a necessity. Apart from giving a redo to the thousands of players who just messed up their portrait due to learning a new and strange system of character design we uncover the reality that if the characters are going to move and interact with ship interiors or other characters, a 'make-over' option is essential.
PLEASE CCP, work towards a viable and realistic way that we can dress up these avatars at little beauty salons and clothing boutiques and retake out portraits at little photo studios.
I will still subscribe to this game regardless of if you do or not. I just beg you to consider the more ... aesthetically driven players.
Thanks, Annelwin

Please waive the Swap Character Portrait fee for a few weeks at least. A lot of people would like to have the opportunity to tinker with their Portrait before they become immortalized into the fabric of eve forever. Thanks for your time.
A Valued Customer,
P.S. If you support this Idea, Keep bumping it to the top of the forums! Thanks!
I wholeheartedly agree with this! Indeed, the documentation for the character creator has been severely lacking. I didn't even know you could do things with the editor until it was too late!
Honestly, I'm usually not one to try and get free stuff; but in this case, I feel it's more than reasonable we get at least 1 free redo chance. Please, CCP, have a heart! :) --

I was happy with all four snapshots, thankfully, but if I knew right there and then I'd only get to keep one (and wouldn't be prompted to confirm my choice), I may have made a different choice.
For me, the 4 snapshot thingy didn't actually work so well. I can take a snapshot, go back and create another mugshot; but when I proceed to the snapshot page, the old one is gone. Lost some pretty faces there. :)
Also, the page which will generate your actual portrait comes severely short on information (as overall, btw). Didn't realize you could zoom out there with the mouse-wheel (in a way that would affect the actual portrait). Or that you could tilt your head, and rotate 3D and such (the controls for which are purely a matter of guessing).
A few guys experimenting a bit on youtube != official CCP documentation!
I understand that time-constraints probably played a part in not getting the documentation done. Which is all the more sad, actually, as EVE's new character creator is, hands down, the very best in the industry! Honestly, I've never seen anything quite like it. I would call it quite a break-thru even. Mass Effect's equivalent, for example, is vastly, vastly inferior.
Having said the above, and realizing the incredible importance our 3D character can play (immersion and role-play wise) with the upcoming Incarna, I can only reiterate my request that CCP please allow people a grace period to 'get it right,' figuring out stuff for themselves where the documentation has been lacking. --

Theres a big difference between what you see in the character creator and even the snapshots of the portrait and what you see in game. Well for two of my characters anyway, one of them is absolutely fine surprisingly.
It's amazing technically, but, I'm dissapointed. Real lack of diversity. The differentiation in ethnicity seems to be gone too (although Amarr have it best). Whats happened to the Minnie tribal look. Generic clothing is bad too, microtransactions planned?

Even $1 for a change is ridiculous IMO.

I'll sign. I totally misunderstood what they meant by a grace period to tweak the character. It took me roughly four hours to create an avatar because the graphics card on my laptop apparantly can't handle the program.
But I was patient and ground through it thinking I could continue later. Honestly what I was expecting when I hit the save button was another screen giving an optiion to select a portrait or continue later.
I had no Idea it would just select the last portrait I was working on as my final choice. Thanks for th thread. I have no intention to petition this because...well the portait isn't horrible.. and I have terrible luck with those things anyway.
I think people have a valid point here. When you hit that save button ther should have been a simple warning screen behind it.
Also they shouldn't have given us the impression we could tweak our characters.. There is no tweaking. Once you close the session that's it you have to start from scratch...which for me would mean another four hours wasted.

Yup
After we finish our portrait why not have an image the same size as the one on the login/character selection screen, and maybe the in game sized version as well with an option to accept or re-edit?
I know those snaps are roughly the same size as in game portraits but It's really hard to judge them when the large 3D character looks kinda ok
It's likely that even with another go ppl will still be unhappy with their creations. I know the point i hated both my toons was when i signed in.
Even better bring back the old. way better imho

Probably a good idea, if it's somewhat automated and it saves everybody some time. Hell, I'm somebody who played around with the character creator fairly extensively on SISI and I still got burned by some quirks of the server rendering.

character creator is bugged anyway, if you play with some of the settings I couldn't change the lighting intensity or color (!) on my second try through
or rather i could but my face was unlit and I could only mess with the hair, and I had no face in the thumbnail when I saved it ________________

The picture I took when I created my character had his eyes closed, and that was the only reason I picked that picture. For some reason my eyes are open now (although still closed on the login screen). Is it really that hard to send the picture we took to the server?

4 pictures implies 4 options.
Save implies their is the ability to edit it.
Please make sure that you add, confirmations and explanations.
Explain that once you have selected the picture in the above 4 options, then its finalised and you will never see the other 3 again. A simple dialogue with that explanation, and confirmation would have finished the debate.
Or better yet, save all 4 portraits and put a drop down on the character selection screen which allows us to select 1 of the 4 portraits.

Soon as I figure out how to create a petition, I'll be putting one in.
I wasn't unhappy with how I looked as much as the fact that the hair didn't render the way I thought it would and there's no easy way to reset your expression in the portrait studio. Once you've created a dumb smirk, its hard to get back to a normal expression.

To be quite honest, it is absolute bull **** that we need to file a petition in order to get our appearances reset. The whole situation has been handled horribly and who knows how long it will take some of us to get our portraits reset.

Oh you mean we can't change our appearance other than filing a petition? How much of this is under NDA in relation to Incarna?
You know, in real life we can cut our hair, change clothes, change make-up, grow a beard, shave a beard, have a good day, have a bad day, I might frown the other day and smile the next. Yet we are forced to be frozen for years at a time. Why? Since the pilots clone themselves frequently for a small fee yet we are unable to change our appearance. We mastered thought transfer across galaxies but or hair color is permanently fixed?

Edited by: Midnight Void on 19/01/2011 09:22:58 I agree with this. As Intaki, it was pretty impossible to re-create my previous portrait. Major changes to chins and hair. There is no hair that fits, either, so I opted for this pose..
Now, I like the character creator, even if it is pretty short on options, but I had no idea how my chosen portrait would end up when scaled down. Looks alright bio-sized, but horrible chat-sized.
Scaled previews would be great, or failing that, the subject of this thread: A re-customization.
Edit: This was posted while I was posting, and I fully agree. CCP, this is your chance to show some class: Let us change our superficial features and pose for a in-game fee, instead of real money.

Now. What happened?
The Eye Candy faction at CCP decided to add another feature not really relevant to gameplay.
Someone must have said: "Let's make it like a photo booth. People sometimes blink and get these funny photos with their eyes closed. We want that! This is SOOOO cool!"
The feature is rolled out with a character generator with not a lot of documentation.
People end up with tons of stupid profile pictures and are unhappy.
The logical approach would be to say: "Um... This does not work. Appeared to be funny at first but just isn't. Let's undo the damage done."
Instead, nothing changes. Indeed, CCP Fallout posts a message telling people to be careful about the generator AFTERwards.
As in: Too late.
There are a number of options now.
a) Pay real money to undo something which was the result of poor software design, a non-working joke, lack of documentation and inflexible software.
Sounds nice, doesn't it?
b) Live with the character as it is now.
Most likely the rational option if you don't really care. While I filed a petition (see below), I might just do that and play until my account expires.
c) Expect a grace period
This is what this thread does. It appears to be by far the best solution. Supported!
d) File a petition.
That's right. The support I pay for (remember: Eve is not cheap) is flooded by portrait deletion requests. I filed one, found my portrait still there, but received a long, canned text about the new character generator. Dear GMs, please rest assured that I am able to read. Stuff like a good documentation of the character generator would have been something worth reading. And I doubt that I am to blame. So far, I had to file two petitions regarding different topics. The first one got 10 out of 10. The second one won't.

Yes, It is bull. CCP are acting like its about 50 people that screwed up their portrait, WAKE UP! Maybe they think and hope we will get over it, hey its just a face, nothing people notice anyway!

To be completely honest, I wish we had the option to opt out of the new character generator and keep our old portraits. I actually don't recognize anyone that I knew anymore, especially people in my alliance who I recognized by picture rather than name. Sure they may not look "new", but who gives a **** if that's how we have played our characters as for years.
After years of play for some people, the one piece of individuality that they had for their character has been forcibly removed. Nothing can and will replace our old portraits. Personally my alt's portrait looks 10x better now than it did. I like his new look. My main's portrait will never be the same. It saddens me that I am forced to remove the picture which made Revii Lagoon my own unique character.

Not necessarily. But it's sure confusing and highly ambiguous. "Commit" or "Finalize" would have been much better terms. A simple popup warning message, telling you there's no way back, would have been best, of course. Lack of information killed the cat.

I agree. If for nothing else, CCP would do themselves a favor to not go and work thru thousands of petitions, and to just give everyone a chance to redo. And, in all fairness, I think they kinda owe us that. Writing a post facto explanation of what things really meant, to take away confusion, is still simply admitting to have severely lacked in the information department to begin with. I would therefore take it as an act of courtesy if they widened their 'grace' to include a single, free redo. Incarna is going to be big. The character creation seems the wrong area to skimp out on. --

They really need to find a better solution. Requiring us to petition for a change is iffy because it puts all the deciding power in the hands of some GM. And they're likely going to be completely swamped with these petitions..
The editor is BEAUTIFUL - and there's really a lot of future potential here.. but the whole thing feels rushed. There are a lot of glitches from Sisi that have not even been addressed, there's a lack of accessories/tattoos, and a UI missing any kind of detailed documentation.

Totally static pictures seems a little bit too aged to me, time to move along.

This is my rant...
Not to mention the fact that Gallente/Gallente cant get a flippin portrait that doesnt look like eurotrash.
I want my industrial punk goth harem of hotties back. Sure the boob shots are nice, but **** me there's 1 hair style that isnt eurotrash, the morphing doesnt go far enough.
You either look like a concentration camp survivor, a fuking boxhead, some sort of chick marine (which can be cool but meh) or coked up eurotrash.
There's only 1 jacket type that isnt ****, I get most excited when the editor is trying to switch between models of clothes and theres half of one on top of the other.
WHERE'S THE ****IN COLOUR PALLETTE????? 256 colours too much for you?

Especially as ALL THE ISSUES WERE ALREADY IN THE SISI FEEDBACK THREAD! Now CCP is asking everyone to file a petition which is dumb beyond recognition, don't they have anything better to do? Also the 4 portrait pictures is asking for trouble, and why dramatically change the options for each bloodline? ________________* - If you're in favour of a bloodline change please vote in the Assembly Hall in this thread - |

My char has a completely different colour tone between the cheeks and jaw area this wasn't so noticeable in the creator as I tried to match it as closely as possible but with the lighting in the portrait I look like a character from Planet of the Apes!

I can't believe that we have to pay extra to do it anyway? If you've spent so much time on a feature such as this I would of thought that you'd make it freely avaliable to switch portrait positions or hair/clothes.
The eyes of my character look messed up when looking at larger versions of the picture :[

Bumping for great justice.
At the very least make the portraits open for change. We spent all that time tweaking a character and then get stuck with 1 stupid image of it?

I like my portrait, but I am 100% behind the idea, as I imagine some of my now mongoloid corp mates are as well.
I even had an AWESOME Captain Jack Sparrow going for a bit, but I didn't have the name to match the face so I passed.

Think this from a different perspective.
Why would CCP want to lock our character portraits to "one shot" makeover?
If you are concerned how you look and want to keep you look easily recognizable to your corpmates, don't change your appearance.
The rest of the population wont even notice if you make changes or even care.
CCP wants us to be locked for only one or two reasons. Make the change cost something, real currency or ISK. Or make it some integral part of Incarna. I'd wish they would tell us what they have in mind.
For sure I'm not going to pay microtransactions or real currency. If it's a service integral to player interaction in Incarna then I'm inclined to approve the "lockdown". |

CCP simply has to cave to this. Charge a 5m isk "Concord Pilot Indentification Fee" or something. I hear alot about taking isk out of the economy to reduce inflation. Here's the golden opportunity.
For the first couple weeks, though, it needs to be free to change your portrait whenever. It's a whole new system and it confused a lot of people.

I would think it would be just commonsense for CCP to temorarily waive the fee, surely it's better to do it that way instead of going the petition route, at least that way it would free up the GM's for more important petitions.

while working on the avatar it sometimes occur you cannot change certain things. like moving checkers around is sometimes broken. the only work-around is hitting back and start over. had my virtual breast blown up like ballons and was not able to reduce them in size. in the portrait shooting room i was not able to raise my eyebrows and thought it would just not be meant to be so but i realized only too late it was a bug and now my character looks bored instead of wary......

Edited by: Daktera Amaru on 19/01/2011 12:05:24 Although I don't hate my character, I do want to change it, the thumbnail thing wasn't clear to me, I thought I had the ability to switch between the 4 small pictures, but ofcourse CCP came out with a forum post about how that worked AFTER I logged into my account.
I love the tool, however, it's lacking options and it should let us edit some of the features the upcoming two weeks or so, so that we can tweek and play around because the tool isn't working really smoothly, even on high end machines it's a little buggy... The hair thing is killing my memory... I got 4GB damn it.

Now... normally i don't really complain about changes ccp makes to the game but... I really do think this entire caracter creator thing looks totally crap!!! I lolled so hard at some portraits, it almost looks like ccp did something so a lot of people look like famous people.
Sofar i've seen: Emperor Palpatine, Morpheus, Hulk Hogan, Captain Picard, Marilyn Manson, Kane from C&C and several others who have a rather familiar look on them.

Thinking about it further, character portrait swaps should now be free and automated permanently. The reason being we're already gonna get dinged for tattoos and new clothes and accessories and god knows what other microtransactions await us in Incarna. If CCP wants us to buy all that stuff, they ought to be tempting us with the ability to show it off in our portraits.

Originally by: CCP Caedmon As Bella Bee already confirmed there will be a grace period of around one month. The end-date will be announced when we know it and with enough notice for players to react. During the grace period players will be able to log into the game without having to go through the new character creator. As Bella Bee also pointed out, for those of you with alts whose appearance doesn't matter to you, there is the randomize option to allow you to speed through the process.
On the topic of more options, we really wanted to have tattoos out in this release but for various reasons we had to postpone them. Work is now underway to get tattoos as well as scars, piercings and more glasses in the game. In the next release we plan to introduce the option to re-customize your character from within the game to take advantage of all the new options. Expect to see more and more options coming in future releases. We have a lot of things we would love to see and we will be using feedback from this and other threads to help us make decisions on what we put in and when.
Maybe it's not so bad after all?

I must admit to being a bit vexed by the canned response this thread got a few pages back.
They seem to implying that they are more willing to sort through thousands and thousands of petitions rather than providing a one shot solution to the problem that would make everyone happy.
This is not a dumb community. I may be wrong but I don't recall seing threadnaughts like this one regarding the recent changes in skill allocation and the free neural remap. It was generally understood that it was a one shot deal, and while I'm sure they got their fair share of pettions I suspect it was nowhere near what's going on here.
The way the sticky is worded is a bit insulting actually. It implies on the one hand that anyone that goes through the effort of filing a petition will be granted a re-do, provided they aren't filing for all of their characters over multiple accounts.
Fair enough.
Yet on the other hand they throw in language that make those of us on the fence about how our characters came out feel guilty about wasting their time, when it is quite clear that they share in the blame for this misunderstanding due to poor UI design, inadequate documentation and ambiguous wording in the dev blog regarding our ability to "tweak" our characters. Here in America we understand "tweak" to mean modify/ adjust....not "practice".
In looking around at some of people's creations I have to say on the whole this was a fantastic idea. I have thought for a long time that too many of the characters in Eve looked like virtual clones. In looking around at most of the responses I would say most people feel the same way.
Why then would they taint the entire experience by making the customer base jump through hoops to get the end result they really wanted?
Worse, why would they insist on a solution that only makes more work for both the customers and the developers?
I really don't get that.

Well, hopefully, their petition queue is now swamped with roughly 50,000 "omgz, change my picture" petitions, which will make them understand that this is not a viable solution to the problem and that they need to step up and prioritise (and release early) some kind of functionality that lets us go back, in-game, and adjust our looksà
Fallout asked us kindly not to abuse this option, but I have a distinct feeling that it's to late for that, and, quite frankly, that this abuse will be a good thing because it makes them directly feel how bad a design decision it was to have a one-shot/no-warnings/live-with-it-forever editor. ùùù ôIf you're not willing to fight for what you have in ≡v≡à you don't deserve it, and you will lose it.ö ù Karath Piki |

Edited by: HeIIfire11 on 19/01/2011 13:33:41 I think one of the main problems is that the 4 snapshots you can take are too small.You really cant see what the eyes are doing or if the character is looking strange.
That and that he moves while taking the picture at all.Whats the point in being able to move the eyes to where you want them to look when they move?
And although it shows almost as small in game it shows bigger in the forum and you see the flop.
If not for this I'd say tough **** for the people asking do have them redone.Sure you have a lot of time and what not but because of these few reasons I can understand how a unwanted pic can happen.So for what its worth I'll give this a thumbs up.

Hi,
signed for a global portrait reset for all who want to take this opportunity.
sadly, the new char creator is basically cool, but the documentation was pretty much zero.. play around with snapshots, you think youre happy.. press save.. oops... no way back... :(
i messed up my main this way... practised with 2 alts and got slowly familiar with the creator, but still... if i had the chance i'd reset all of them and start from scratch with the "little" practise i got now - really.
remember.. not all of us are regular sisi users who had a nice time trying the creator over and over again... and some "features" of the creator werent obvious at first, either.. like changing certain aspects differently from different view angles.
well.. anyway.. sign me up for a char reset if youre handing out some ;) otherwise at least create a way people can modify their avatars slightly easier and hopefully cheaper than in the past - even if its just once every 6 months or so. THINK ABOUT THIS OPTION...

This was a good 1st attempt. Fell short of the mark, though. Needs more options for color, clothes, hair styles...etc
May have been rushed out.
At least give us the option for do-overs for a limited time, or free change codes to apply.

Hi,
my favourite 2 options:
1. regular change opportunity.. once every couple of months. PREFERRED
2. free re-rolls during the grace period. not really satisfying at long sight (everyone can change their mind or taste, bear in mind you have some real "old" eve vets who warent playing this just for a few weeks but stick to eve no less than since 2003 ^^ ) but at least giving ppl the chance to match what i'd call their present taste.
honestly, eve is so great in so many ways but portrait and character name issues are really a pain in the arse in some situations ;)

Better yet, just allow us to re-edit our avatar so we don't have to start over from scratch each time if we don't want to. Give everyone a 30-day window to tweak before freezing the portrait.
Oh, and how about showing previews in the sizes of how the portrait will look in local chat, on the forums, etc. ?

4 pictures implies 4 options.
Save implies their is the ability to edit it.
Please make sure that you add, confirmations and explanations.
Explain that once you have selected the picture in the above 4 options, then its finalised and you will never see the other 3 again. A simple dialogue with that explanation, and confirmation would have finished the debate.
Or better yet, save all 4 portraits and put a drop down on the character selection screen which allows us to select 1 of the 4 portraits.
Pretty much this.
4 options is simply confusing when you cant save them all. Oh what you clicked the wrong one, tough luck?

To be honest, the creator seems very lacking in options. The basic concept is great, and I like the potential here. They should allow us to change our avatars at will until they actually provide us with a finished product. Other things of note:
- The hairstyles are few, I had expected to be able to sculpt or deform my hair in the same way as I could with the face, ears etc. I miss my old swept up Deteis hair, mostly because I once had a similar hairstyle IRL, but also because I was really attached to it!
- Clothes options are terrible, lacking in variety, and seem the same throughout all the races. Except somehow the Amarr get hoodies, if you're lucky...
- As for the glasses, was this some kind of in-joke with the Brutar aviator glasses of old? If it was it was lost on me, they are all the same, and look ridiculous.
- I can't seem to create an overweight avatar for my trade alt... And a cigar in his mouth would have been nice too... ;)
- Documentation was non-existent, as was any sort of in-creator 'help-as-you-go' unless you happen to click on the '?', bringing up not very helpful help.

So were suppose to file a petition aye? Would be nice if it worked but I have a feeling the petition system is so over run atm. When I click submit nothing happens.
Wouldn't it be easier to just offer a reset for all instead of dealing with thousands of petitions and doing each one individually through GM support?

you know what is great about all of this?
CCP spent god knows how much $$$ to get this creator made for us to use. Makes it so we can adjust about anything we want to. Makes it so it wil be modified in the future to allow more things. and tells us we can only use it one time. WTF is that!!
its no wonder they made it so everyone gets screwed. they want to chargeus $$$ so they can make back what they spent on the thing.
-inside CCP HQ- Dev1: howdy boss boss: WTF did you guys do wit that creator thing!! it cost us millions find a way to get back my money, or find a new job!! Dev1: ok Boss, I will find a way
-inside a brainstorm session- Dev1: what can we do to get our $$$ back Accountant: we just tell everyone who worked on the project they dont get paid. Dev 1, 2, and 3: Hey i worked on it!! FNG: Why dont we make it so the players get screwed on there avatar, then we charge them real $$$ to fix or change it. then everyone gets paid, the dumb arse customers will give us more $$$ to play with, and everyone is happy. everyone in the room: yea, thats a great idea!!
-inside CCP HQ- Boss: SO FNG< it was your idea? FNG: um, Yes sir. Boss: want a rise? FNG: Can we charge the customers more for it?

Just a sec - choice of skin and hair colour, body size, type, weight, hairstyles is extremely limited. You can create more or less slender, young pilots only. AFFSAP only - As Far From Santa As Possible.
What about people who don't want to look "hip late 20s"?
A problem with the players or a problem of limited imagination of the developers? The WII MII generator has more flexibility than that.

When the portrait you choose is set in stone and you have no way to preview it BEFORE it is set in stone and then expect to charge for it to fix it, that is greed.. that is so SOE!
Seriously, CCP. When I originally created my character the character was.. ok. Then I saw my portrait and I was not happy, it sucked at the smaller res. With the new character creator I thought 'finally, I can redo it'. What happens? I still get burned by the same sequence of events.. no way to preview your character at the different resolutions before accepting. And now you're gonna charge the same people that keeps you in business (so you can create this new character creator) to get right what you couldn't? You had to know this was a problem in the original character creation sequence.
Shame on you, CCP.. shame!

There is a way, but it requires you to constantly alt-tab out of the game, check an external image, and alt-tab back againà

petition reply as follows:
Hi,
This is an update to all players with a character portrait related petition in our system. Please read through carefully and update the petition afterward if still necessary.
If you are not happy with the character portrait that you have made for your character, do not despair. In the next few days we are going to give everyone who has already customized their character at that time one re-customization for use during the grace period. This will allow you to restart the character portrait creation process with your current character portrait as the starting point. Please be aware that once you have saved your character portrait it will be final until we introduce in-game re-customization in a future release.
The month long grace period we advertised refers to the period during which you can log into the game without a character portrait. Once this month grace period is over you will no longer be able to log in without going through the new character creator to create a new portrait for your character. Please note that the new character portrait system is not optional and a new portrait will be required after the grace period is over.
If you received this update without it being relevant to your petitioned issue then please accept our apologies. In that case you will have to respond to this update so your petition does not time out after seven days. We appreciate your patience and we hope you are enjoying the new character creation system.
Best regards, The EVE Online Customer Support Team

Oh and CCP if your going to charge a fee, make it small (under $5 usd). Anything close to a months subscription is too much.

Just so some of you don't feel insane. The picture below shows that there are diferences between the server/client side rendering of our pictures. The one on the left is taken from my local cache folder and is what I thought my portrait would look like when I hit save, and the other is the portrait the server gave me.

Just had this reply to my petition as well (at least they're doing something) - I'm sure they've had too many petitions to handle in a reasonable time and have had to implement this. My only concern that even with all settings on max in game the portraits in my cache files are not the same as the portrait rendered in the forums and in game - there is different artifacting around the eyes on my cached portraits to what is in the game portrait (neither of which are visibly in the tiny previews so I'll have to use the alt-tab and look in the cache files to see if there is significant artifacting and hope the server render doesn't introduce any).

The missing details (wrinkles, etc) around the top of the bridge of the nose and eyes may be the result of them using a low resolution pass of the rendering during the initial roll out stage. When they make a second pass at high-res you will probably get those features back. The closed eyes vs open eyes is something I don't think will be "corrected" so yeah thats a big deal.

The problem with the system & CCP should take note:
It's easy to click by mistake the SAVE button & be doomed.
There should be a warning just like Bio mass, click & a pop up says, Are you sure, this is irreversible your Avatar image will be the current highlighted snapshot from the left hand side.
CCP, plz understand the user, in the excitement of an enjoyable new feature, many have clicked save, not realizing it's final. Amend the system.

This thread is hilarious, some real messed up portraits on here.
After realising that I was gonna get absolutely nothing like a sebiestor used to look (where are the horns, crazy chin, and angry expressions?), I made a guy I was happy with. Although the angriest I could make him look was "mildly annoyed"
Except I had to use low settings which dont show shadow too well and to my dismay once I logged in my character went into hiding and I can no longer see many details at all. I think someone turned the light off or the camera flash didnt work...

This one is probably not too much labor either since it is a global action to all toons with no CCP input.
Now if most the portrait related crashes (adding portraits to alts, etc) on start up can be dealt with by deleting the EVE data folders and reinstalling client...then we may have the portrait crisis behind us.
LOL - obviously I am waiting for a user endorsed solution before committing on this toon. But do have an account with a screwed up new portrait.
Too bad CCP didn't leave the character generation or at portrait software as a standalone application. Then we could play with it endlessly and just import one FINAL portrait for each toon. But I guess if a regular .jpg was exported that would leave things open to severe user abuse (e.g. real pictures of someone's ass) as soon as they learned which bytes marked portrait data as valid. Hmmm.but there is no reason that a file of portrait settings to produce the picture could not be exported from a standalone and imported. That would be simple matter of validation that imported setting values are within legal ranges.

Still not happy.
So those who have made our character and hate it still only have ONE chance to get it right.
Should be 5 or 6. ------------------------

It was really confusing having 4 photos slot and no explanation on how the last one you take is the only one to be saved I would apreciate a do-over opportunity |

I will remain faceless until CCP puts the work into the proper racial clothing, hairstyles and features for each race.
The intricate forming of my characters' bodies means little with the limited clothing options that CCP has offered.

I would much rather have the ability to change how our characters look, maybe yearly? Maybe add something where by we can change the hair style or other non-character mesh items. Given the news I heard, (nothing offical) we may have this ability, but must pay for it.
On a side note, I would like the ability to change my character's name and sex... I find the female characters to be even more inciting, and as we are changing the make up of the characters, we might as well do it from the start only keeping the skills and points.

Many cudo's to Zendoren for this treat.
I think they replayed positive as far as i can understand the patch for today.
òA new character creation interface has been added, and Race, Bloodline and Gender are now selected using a new interface. òBoth old and new players will be able to use the reworked EVE character customization system to create a new Avatar and Portrait. òWe are adding support for an optional third name during the new character creation process. This is being done in order to expand the amount of available names in the EVE database and avoid having to purge older names. When you create a new character, you will put in your first two names in one box with a space between the names, and then use the second box for your third name. òNew Characters can have a selection of education options to choose from; this dictates their starting location. òCurrent characters will have a grace period before having to commit to a new character avatar and portrait. During this grace period you can take your time before finalizing your new avatar and portrait to suit your tastes.
Once this grace period is over all characters will be forced to create a new and updated character portrait and avatar during the login process. A final date for the end of this grace period will be announced. Stay tuned to the MOTD and news on www.eveonline.com for more information.

Well, my third attempt here turned out pretty good, but my first attempt was saved by accident. I would love a reset for Ultran. He's kind of dull. I'm excited about the new character designer's potential.

SAVE should have a 5-10 sec countdown, where you can cancel.
No, "Save" should have a pop-up with the current image in full res and a the text "This will be your final appearance are you insane?! sure? Y/N"
Mine did not, it just saved it. My first and main toon has a BAD portrait, this one turned out ok only because I knew ahead of time what to expect. I think the portrait changes should be free for a short time until the system works right.

Edited by: Irene Ferros on 21/01/2011 11:42:52 Look forward to getting my portrait re-done now! I fell in the same trap, felt like I had the weirdest facial expression -ever-. Just have to get home from work first!

Not sure if already mentioned but the clothes options are extremely limited! i wanted my caldari char to have a hoodie but wasn't available.. i think open all the options to allow your char to dress and look exactly how WE want them to.

First off, the idea of a new character is okay. Thank you CCP for letting people have a redo, but considering the blunder that was its release, they really should be infinite during the grace period. I want to redo one of my chars but I can't because I want to work on it, walk away and come back to it again later, but I can't with only one redo.
The way CCP did it was unfortunately very disappointing. The last CSM vote thread voted 'CCP committing to excellence' as one of the three top priorities. I've read through this thread over the last couple days, and a lot of people are basically feeling let down by CCP's rush job. This patchspansion should have been pushed back until at least tattoos and implants were prepared.
The clothing and hair options are horribly lacking. Bring back stuff like the minmatar corn rows and all the neat shirts from the old editor. One of my other chars was very unique. My version of her now is not her. I want my old char portrait back for that one. Why? Because CCP didn't import anything from the old editor like they said they were going to do
Everyone who is thinking that MTs are a good idea should realize that we shouldn't be paying any money to change our characters until the character creator is actually finished and all the options are done. I started playing about a year and a half ago. The old character creator never got any new content, until this one is at that point, no one should have to pay to alter their characters at all.

I'd have to agree, the feature is a welcome improvment, it does look like CCP did launch early (or late depending on how you see their schedule). There's alot missing, the problem with redoing it over and over again is the endless cache dumps and server repopulation, jita lags like a mother @ the moment due to avatar data streaming in.
So at the end of the day, I'm hoping CCP will be bringing fwd the second part soon (like june) so we get to update the accessories.
p.s. nice avatar 'Bayushi Tamago' Naughty Naughty !! |

I chose a black eye liner for my char but the server renders it as white. I would like to fix that, but chances are the server again will render it incorrect... Can someone please help me?

Why isn't it possible to redo char portraits anytime you want? Character creation should be more restricted but why not let us pose our characters at will?

I'd much rather they just replace the thumbnails with live previews of the little guys. And like, you could right click your portrait and change the expression or edit the camera angle =P It'd be like star craft live preview dealies.
