I was a bit disappointed when I started to fiddle around with the new character look. The options are not that great, and even though there are a great number of stuff to choose from, they all look very much the same. Why, for example, isn't it possible to choose the style of jacket? What you can choose are different brown/black colors in different nuances, but the styles are very much the same.
I would have liked a bigger diversity to choose from.
CCP - why make the selection this limited?

The characters would have a little more diversity if all currently-designed hairstyles and clothing were available to all races. I've been saying this for the past three weeks.

This is a content issue, so it's a moot point, this will be added too for years to come, by next year we'll have too many options to chose from.

I can't see how you're so confident of that. Currently, not all characters even have access to all of the hair or clothing assets, and CCP won't tell us why.

Yes the options are currently a bit sucky, but they don't matter much at this point. You see most of the options, besides facial sculping, only in the CC. The rest won't matter until Incarna is released.
My recommendation is, that you now simply make an atmospheric facial portrait. It looks the best on those little portrait pics and everything below the neck is irrelevant, since it doesn't show.

Yeah. CCP just updated EVE to have one of, if not, the best character creator in any MMO/game, and people still ***** about it.
This is the first step of Incarna, I'm sure CCP will eventually add tons of more clothing, hair styles and other accessories, and hopefully let players sell them.

Honestly judging by the portraits i've seen so far, they are all identical in style, but facial characteristics are widely varied. Much more so then the old character creator was capable of.
This is definatly a beautiful step up, i just hope they add more backgrounds, tattoos and things for them... I branded all of my characters with a forehead tattoo...
And, im sure they will allow us to re-create our characters a gain soon enough... At the very least, once incarna comes out you'll supposidly have much more character customization and by then, the avatars will probably be updated the moment you change your clothes, or get a tattoo...

Unforunately, these hyper realistic characters are almost too clean for me. They're a bit too sterile. The wardrobes are benign. I made my Vherokhir initially to be a menacing looking character and now the new avatar just looks meh to me. I was also saddened that they took out a lot of the more graphical backgrounds (like the commie fist) and replaced them with more generic cosmic space graphics.
No facial tattoos, which I felt were a strong point of the character's background, have also been removed. I also felt his original wardrobe (which was basically a dusty old hobo cape) nicely fit into the race's backstory of being nomads. And probably my most favorite portion of my old avatar was the mask over his mouth & nose.
Some of the alliances and corporations I've gone up against specifically hated on me because of my portrait, I was notorious because I thought it gripped them in such a way as to single me out amongst my fleet when we were attacking. I thought that was pretty awesome, but this new portrait probably won't have the same amount of character to troll people as successfully, this makes me a sad panda :(
This original portrait has much more character than the portrait to the left. I mean come on, I wish they had brought some of the customization options from the original character creator over to the new one. They weren't all outdated. I'm saddened their idea of the future is yuppy cargo pants, Hot Topic combat boots, and aviator sun glasses.

I have to admit that, though I'm usually content with much of CCP' work, and though the new character creator is very well done and complex enough to do a lot of good, different faces, the lack of diversity in styles is a problem. The lack of features we previously had, especially is a shame. Races and bloodlines are no more uniques, as said, they almost all look the same. In a game where a portrait you can't change is the sole representation of your character, it's definitively an issue.
Something funny, too : on Sisi my Intaki had a hairstyle that kinda suited what I had before (even though it miss the old intaki haircuts, but nvm). For some unknown reason, the option is no more in the release, though it worked well. All I have left is a rasta haircut that don't fit Intaki characters. That's annoying.
And as pointed by someone else, I seriously hope CCP don't dare to plan to add that missing diversity through microtransactions later.
So, I too would appreciate an official statement about the lack of creation features we previously had that made the races good looking and unique. Even if it's to tell us that "it's working as intended", some communication from the devs would definitively be nice.

It's a real shame the tattoos and implants were taken out, and I did expect a lot more variety in hair styles and clothing, but at the end of the day people (so far) seem to be coming up with some pretty funky portraits. Although I'll admit I have a good chortle when finding out my Vittenyn agent had completely changed looks. Having said that I'm reasonably happy with the new me.

Which is quite appropriate for capsuleers!
I dunno though, I managed to get some radically different looking characters out of the Amarr male model, and some similarly different looking characters out of the Brutor model. It's really not an issue.

As I have said to the point of nausea now, we watched helplessly as CCP did this on SiSi, and ignored our requests to return the race-restricted assets.

On my part I wear glasses and have a hard time growing a decent beard, so I was going to be damned if I was giving up the two with my Eve character.
Plus sunglasses help with the sun lens flair.

None of the char portraits even in this thread look anything like each other...
In the short term thats all that matters, as more content for full avatar clothing etc will come in time (Incarna).

I ****ed around with a couple alts before making Kahega and I'm quite happy with it, actually. From what I can tell there's far more variety than what existed beforehand. Keep in mind that things like shoes and clothing are more or less invisible until Incarna's full release, at which time stuff like that will be changeable.

Haha, my perceptions were mostly due to my browser being picky with which portraits loaded, so all I saw on each thread were the guys with beards and sunglasses.
Seems to have sorted itself out now, and wow you all look great.
Seems to be plenty of diversity and some of the characters that people are making are incredibly realistic. I will fall on the side that wishes there was a few more options, but apart from that I reckon CCP has done an excellent job with this.

People forget that the character only is something if you give some meaning for the photo to be.
My character isn't a mean guy, but I want him to look like someone who would give you a hand in need, while clenching his other hand just in case you try to screw him up or make a mistake. Its called personality, and Carbon can give LOTS of it for the portraits.
I got my characters the way I want them to look. Obivously somethings are missing like tatoos, markings and stuff, but I believe in incarna, you'll be able to change to pictures in stations. Like a photo shot cabin or something...

Nobody is claiming that the character creator suck, it doesn't, it's a good piece of work, and most of the characters made with it are awesome and kinda unique, if you take some time to build them. Also, the lack of clothes isn't an issue at the moment, since it will only matter for people using Incarna.
The problem lie in the lack of features we previously had, that made races and bloodlines uniques, such as tatoos, marks, complex hairstyles and such. As I said, it's an issue when you only got a unique portrait to picture your character, and also if you like the very diversity of races in Eve.
I think that these features vanished due to Incarna' engine restrictions, it may require more work to add them and make them work well in real-time. But it's annoying nonetheless.

My guess...
These features are added once walking in stations is added.
Clothes, getting a tattoo, implants etc - all from player run vendors.

They imply that tattoos are one the strongest traditions of the Minmatars, yet there are none to be found. Shame....

Indeed, having had an avatar with a tattoo for roughly 6 years and then not being able to take that with you is a pretty painful discovery. All together all forms of accessory (other then the oversized sunglasses)on the brutor models seem to have disappeared. Really a shame if you ask me, can't be that hard to give me some shiny things in my dreads like I used to have. Also looking at local it's all grey's and browns now =/ Kind of feels someone passed a law to ban color's xD
I am a big fan of the sculpting tools, I love the added layer of realism, but I hope they bring back some of the extravagant styling options like the face masks, tattoo's and bright colored all over the place robes and weird hair things (like Gallente females and Amarr females had). Also some more lightning options would be cool, maybe some light color's and such, that could really add a lot.
Will take some time to get used to this rather big change, but I'm confident that CCP will add more content at some point to get back some leather jackets and other bad-ass gear (visible implants, please  ).

Feel there was some racism going on here. Brutor only had like 3 hair styles that actually would work with a black character. Also the loss of tattoos means that all minmatar just slapped their ancestors and tribes in the face. This honestly should have been pushed back until Incarna is released. Then again this is CCP and releasing things complete would be out of the norm.

I'm sure they'll add more variety later. After all this is the world of darkness engine, which is a full blown MMO. I'm sure the models support a lot of things like holding objects, hats, outfits etc.
This is basically a test of CCP's engine, and a treat for eve players.

Either microtransactions for RL cash, or you spend ISK to get special stuff for your toon.
They could add new NPCs that you can visit at specific stations to get a haircut...change of makeup...get some implants (head and...) ...change of clothes... whatever.
It's business people. Simple as.

The problem lie in the lack of features we previously had, that made races and bloodlines uniques, such as tatoos, marks, complex hairstyles and such. As I said, it's an issue when you only got a unique portrait to picture your character, and also if you like the very diversity of races in Eve.

This is a "Screw people that are playing now" move, in that we don't get a bloody option to change it when new stuff does come out. Or when they fix the problems, and the lack of decent movement in the face.
Very unhappy with the char creator. Lots of problems, and those of us unhappy with it, will likely get stuck with poor characters.

Yes I have to admit that I was hugely disappointed by the lack of diversity. The Minmatar have practically one outfit - and there's no piercings or tattoos either. They are blatantly going down the micro-transaction route here, which will be the death knell of Eve's reputation and the beginning of the end for the game.

I doubt they will charge for the expansions because they have a high subscription charge compared to other MMOs. But I would not rule out MTs just yet.

CCP have unfairly limited character customisation options by race. Some races cannot get customisation options such as hair and clothes that other races can.
There is nothing wrong in this thread except the people supporting this decision on CCP's part. This is an objective fact.

As stated before, I am impressed by the visual aspect and the sculpting tools. But fancy graphics can't replace features like diversity and customization if you ask me. You can say a lot about the new creator, but I think that it creates the best looking (in terms of graphics) and most anatomically correct models I have so far seen in any game.

The problem is of course that when we first made our characters, we had all races and bloodlines to choose from. Yes the diversity in this thread is ok, but now when you have to remake your portrait and your hair and skin colours are limited and you look extremely asian, like the Vherokiors.
Personally I'd love it if we can fully remake our characters, and not be limited to the bloodline we picked years ago. It's frustrating!

More subtlety is fine, but the new character creator is sterile and lacks much personality. It does, in a sense make people try a little harder to make their character unique instead of "oh, I want the guy with the dreadlocks!", but meh, now everyone just looks like they are part of Avenge Sevenfold  .

I just wonder why they not only changed some bloodlines beyond recognition but also removed options some bloodlines already had:
1) no more blonde Civire
1) no more black haired Sebiestor
1) no more pale Khanid
1) no more blonde Deitis
All these options are still in the game but they have been removed form the races that always had them to races that never had them - why do we suddenly have blonde Vherokior?

New CC is a massive improvement on the old one. How anyone can claim the portraits are all too similar is beyond me - apart from the fact that bald with aviators seems to be the hieght of capsuleers fashion.
A few more options - tatoos, clothing etc would be nice and CCP have promised these in for the future.
As for Microtransactions, if CCP limit them to cosmetic/fashion items then I for one don't care if they are introduced - no game play advantage/no problem.

So vote for a bloodline change in the Assembly Hall so you can have at least thrice as many options!
Personally I'd love it if we can fully remake our characters, and not be limited to the bloodline we picked years ago. It's frustrating!
Youve got a Point ond that.
Since there are no more Learning skills and also all races eger bloodlines now have the same attributes at start up, it makes actually no more sense to let anyone stuck on the chosen bloodline they had before incarna came out.
What i also wanted to add is, what ive seen so far, that now every race can wear sunglases? Before that only Brutors coud wear those now everyone can. So for example the minmatar brutor bloodline now has lost one of there unique styles.
To answer on the question why we all are forced to the "same" clothing style is, what i think, when the expansion comes out with Station walking ( what we can say will be coming out one day ) then clothing or hairstyle does not matter anymore. What ive seen so far anyone can change clothing and hairstyle for example, also there will be a possibility to buy new cloth on the market or as a reward from missions.
So its only limited for the portrait so far, but i can imagine that everyone agrees since your personal identity in a station can be changed everytime, you dont care about your portraits anyway^^

All right.
You guys made the point: there is diversity. After seeing Captain Jew and a few others, it is outright silly to say there is no diversity. I agree with this.
But I still think there are some obvious choices lacking. Why the lack of colors? If I want something as simple as red hair on one character, I have to be satisfied with some light brownish nuance that just simply isn't red. Same with eyes. Same with clothes.
I just think it would be fun with more choices, that's all. And it would cost CCP practically no work at all to add a bunch of colors and other options.
Eye patch!

Clearly there's enormous diversity possible in terms of physiognomy and facial expression, and that's a good basis for the future - but as many are now pointing out, very little of the art design so far says "weird, futuristic s-f" , like the old system did (in spades).
It would be nice to get some kind of assurance from CCP that they're aware of this, and some sense that that imaginative whackiness will return to the CC.
If we have to pay a little extra for it, fine, I don't mind, but it's got to return.

The diversity in camera positions and poses are *much better*. I assume the diversity in hairstyle (don't really care there) and clothing will come with micro transactions. Leaving out the tattoos and masks has hit the Minmatar very hard, but hopefully that will be remedied.
Biggest disappointment for me has been how *normal* the physiology is across all races/lines. The original eve chars didn't look quite human, and with rare exceptions we all could walk down the street now and no one would raise an eyebrow.
That said, I'm pretty happy with my "Rembrandt meets Grandmaster" portrait.

The characters that we can make mostly look good (may be bloodline differences) but the amount of options is not that good. Im hoping we get more in the future and can change our avatars more than once.. Theres tattoos,cybernetic implants, piercings, darker skin missing, not to mention only like few clothing options available. I would be all for microtransactions.
EDIT: also if we really get to use fullbody avatars in incarna, I hope we can change character height as well.. Would be stupid-looking if everybody were the same height. |
