Edited by: Grez on 24/12/2010 16:52:14 I'd like to believe all software can be released bug-free, but working in the software industry, I know this can't always happen - as such, I have a feeling there will be a few teething problems (fingers crossed there's not).
If this is the case, will there be a period where we can constantly remake our character? Say, a week or two's worth of free plastic surgery? I'd hate to re-do my character, only to learn a certain option I selected was bugged, and having fixed it, my character suddenly doesn't look how I wanted him. I'd have to live with it until I can pay to re-do it, which sort of sucks. ---

Especially since there is no "save" and come back later. And, there is the "what was I thinking" syndrome when I log in the next day. Please allow us some mod time changes CCP.

I commented on this before and got kinda worried that CCP would introduce more options later on and then charge plex for a redo. I do hope that they will allow us a few free redo's and add a new one whenever something important changes and/or over time. Like it's now with remaps.

CCP have already announced that you can get plastic surgery at player run establishments. However they have not said if its you or the the player you are paying for the surgery who gets to do the work*. so it will cost you isk to make the changes.
* make sure you can either trust your surgeon or the guy holding the gun to the surgeon head to make sure that you get new look you are happy with. Macrointel, the place were the nature order of the universe does not hold sway. Pirates and ore thief's are congratulated by carebears for the actions. |

So far what I have got is acceptable but too far removed from my face.
It is something that can really reduce my pleasure in playing EVE.

SWG Had a system like that, image designers. The ID did the changes, but everything showed up in a preview window(it actually put new and old in side by side previews) and both sides had to approve it before it finalized, much like a trade. It also allowed for payment directly through the ID interface...much like a trade.
Entirely possible to take the whole 'better trust 'em' part largely out...

APB had a simple but neat way of doing it. Basically it would take you to the character editor screen, and cost you $$$ for plastic surgey.
The amount of $$$ required would depend on how much you changed, or what you changed. For example changing height was ridiculously expensive, while changing the nose, pretty cheap in comparison.

At least give us visible sliders so we can do and redo on the test server and exactly recreate the final result on TQ afterwards. -

The main problem right now is, that the server rendering does not always match the client rendering. Redo option would be nice, at least until the current bugs are squished.

There is a grace period planned for the actual making of your first version of your portrait. I will discuss with the rest of the dev team how we might go about fixing bugged portraits should that issue arise. Since we already have the functionality at character seletion to give players the choice to remake their portrait or continue without opening the character creator I think it shouldn't be too much of a stretch to haxor this same functionality for bugged portraits. Let's hope we don't need to do that.

Honestly, even if you didn't end up having to do it, the reassurance of this kind of system in place when this hits TQ would go along way. Prepare for the worst, right?

A period of 'infinite' remakes would be a good idea. Maybe a week or two of people being allowed to remake their portrait as many times as they wish. It's been 7 years, people aught to have a few chances to get it right! ---

There really should be a 'save' option for avatar creation, the simple fact that many players have alts and additional accounts compounded with the complexity of the avatar creation system not permitting us a grace period to skip remaking ourselves would have been pure madness.
Having content that won't be complete, especially with things that are to be added later, ie Tattoos demands a new 'portrait/pose' free when those are added and possibly options to remake the avatar if new content is added(cybernetic implants) that wasn't available at the time of release. For example if 6 months after the new avatar system is put online you dump some previously WIP features or ADD more hair/clothes/options NEW characters can choose at creation we should all get to either redo our avatars or maybe be able to add those features/options not present to our characters. The case being if X, Y, and Z are added then we should gain the ability to choose the current option, no change, or X, Y, Z. I tend to think allowing a 'redo' of a character is simpler since depending on what these additions are one might go a different route with a character when presented with certain options or when denied them.
Another feature you should seriously have considered, if it isn't too late, is the somewhat asked for option to export an avatar's 'settings' so that someone could design one for another person then send/copy/feed them the settings so they wouldn't have to do it themselves. Perhaps that is something you are only looking at for the 'plastic surgeon' system but some thought should have been put into making that available to people who wanted it when you're releasing this thing on us so we can look how we'll look when our avatar actually matter some 6 months away from now, *crosses fingers*.

This ^^ is one of the things which cause: 1) a mini profession 2) add to the sandbox 3) makes many many players happy

A grace period without the possibility to redo the portrait if it don't satisfy you like now on the test server? Not much useful.
We need the possibility to save a work in progress and to redo it at least one more time after accepting the first draw.

1 redo within a short period like 3-5 days after you've created your first one does seem fair to me since I totally failed to get it right on the test server, it looked kinda good on the editor but once I saw myself in local I facepalm'd :>

I think you are missing an obvious alternative to free changes, can you guess what it is? ![Rolling Eyes](/images/icon_rolleyes.gif)

LOL
I just read my own comment :P. Nice and cute in the editor -> fake and gay in local :P
In my opinion it should be re-doable whether that is through something like neural remaps, a profession or something else.

How long will we get to re-create our chars, will there be a time limit after which we will be given a randomly generated char?
I have 4 accounts and 12 chars to re-create which could take a while![Very Happy](/images/icon_biggrin.gif)

Originally by: CCP Hammer we already have the functionality at character seletion to give players the choice to remake their portrait or continue without opening the character creator
Could I have a bit of clarification here please?
I was afraid that I will be forced to abandon my old loved characters in favour of this new stupid face-engine, so I'm highly relieved to see that there'll be option to keep old portrait. However I'd like to ask if this option will be permanent or forced removal of current character portraits is but shifted a bit to the future?
Is it possible to keep current portraits forever provided I'm not planning to use "sims in stations"?

That's not what he meant, it just means you can postpone your portrait re-making for a while, but not infititely. ________________* - If you're in favour of a bloodline change please vote in the Assembly Hall in this thread - |
