I propose that CCP at earliest convenience gives us a fix ammount of opportunities, within a given time period (say, 3 times within the first month of creating the first new portrait) to redo our character.
Following the General Discussion threads, people have reported problems with, and being dissatisified with their new looks. I know it is a cosmetic issue, and I am aware that it could mean some server strain, but please CCP, it would give ease of mind to many, many players.
Thanks in advance.

I support this fully as well.
A lot of players (myself included) will be bound to make trial and error mistakes and I believe we deserve a second opportunity to correct any errors we've made during the character creation process.

Absolutely.
It way WAY too easy to make a halfwit with your first try. But it's as easy to do the same the second time if you can't continue where you left.
I've been doing almost a hundred different characters during the beta and more than a few times the next day I go over the screenshots I see a lot of room for improvement.

Edited by: SkyMeetGround on 18/01/2011 18:12:54 Agreed, my character looked fine initially from the view in the portrait creator, but certain details became more pronounced in the smaller version and now I'm not happy with the final product. |

Saw it long after. Having to file a petition only puts more strain on the GMs though, hence the proposal to make it a part of the game.

Because CCP are totally able to make a patch that allows this, take the server down and release it at peak.

It should not require any drastic change to the server side at all, at least nothing that requires more than a simple (even option) patch, and regular DT deployment.

It shouldn't be that hard to implement this during downtime. Takes a lot of strain of customer support if they did this

CCP should add a feature to the editor that once you defined the main look and shape of your character you can reload it - e.g. every 30 days - and change the posing, eventually clothes, hair style based on your original hair and other features to change your fashion style or secondary stuff not affecting the main anatomy ... plus capture a new portrait. This would give CCP the freedom to add more assets to the editor over the time and we are able to use it. The new editor took so much time to create, so why waste it for one time only and not using it again with limitations? For Incarna it just makes sense anyway.
Actually I see a major problem that all the new chars look great and real. But that's not enough. Compared to the old toons they look too much like ordinary human beeings than "EVE Alien".
CHECK THIS AND YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN!

It has been suggested plenty of times in the last months.
We need the possibility to redo our portrait and the possibility to save a work in progress.

Edited by: Tatius Jorgstern on 18/01/2011 19:37:35 I was initially under impression that each of the four snapshots will be randomly used at each log-on. The way the final stage of the character creator is set up is a little ambiguous and lacks clear instructions.
As someone has already mentioned, putting this process through the petition system will put alot more strain on the GMs.

Agreed. It is was ridiculously unclear whether we would be allowed to have a redo.

Bah, how about making CCP re-do their char creator instead straight away? Not like this one is the shining pinnacle of current technology...

Supported.... the fact there's a time lag to have the system "Catch up" would be fair enough of a trade off.

Edited by: THERisingPHOENIX on 18/01/2011 23:43:44 Even though my avatar is perfect for me, I will agree. Like I said in other threads:
"CCP should have clearly indicated that the 4 photos were to compare not to switch around ingame. Plus should add a "Are u sure warning box" before hitting the save button. =)"
This will solve alot of problem and reduce avatar related petitions, I know they are gonna be very busy with the petition system this week. xD

Agree. Sketchy on-screen help, plus the four photo things don't give a super accurate idea of how you're actually going to look on forums/chat windows/etc.

Edited by: Lagruna Zegata on 19/01/2011 03:10:34 Agreed. It's difficult to tell exactly how you will appear in-game based on those 4 snapshots in the last creation screen. Some details I didn't desire became a bit more pronounced that otherwise didn't show on creation.
Also, it's easy for a brand new pilot to make a new avatar by simply re-rolling a new pilot because no time has been spent training the pilot. It's an entirely different story when a vet has spent years training to 30-50 million SP's or more and is suddenly forced to make a high-stakes, prominent decision that lasts for eternity. ~LZ

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! :)
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. --
