Why is my avatar now asian?
I used to be a nice pale colour before :(
I don't want to be asian.
Perhaps I should make a new character and start again or feck it, quit eve and go to ANOTHER space MMO :(
I don't like the new avatar toon races :(
Considering I have to look at my toon everytime I play eve, it really is a deal breaker to me :(
Another thing, why is the blank toon avatar male for female characters? It stinks of a badly thought out feature.

You can always make a new character and swap portraits at the price of $10 if you're so inclined to be racist and hate your current character.
I'm curious as to how much of a profit CCP makes off this portrait swapping deal.

It isnt racist, its a CHANGE of race appearance that was not as before. CCP changed the race LOOKS against people's wishes.
Before the patch, I wasnt asian, now after the patch I am asian. Same eve character race by name, different by appearance.
Not what I created originally, and it seems others have problems with this too.
You cannot swap portraits across eve races. Numpty so that won't solve the issue with CCPs art department.

Ooo, I see what you mean. With the new models being a lot less caricatured I guess it must have been difficult to make them all as unique as they were in the old portrait generator but seeing as you have no portrait I don't know what race you're referring to.

Whoever who started after that didn't read that. And even if they're described as such, they definitely didn't look like that.
Some bloodlines, especially Vherokior are unrecognizable now. ________________* - If you're in favour of a bloodline change please vote in the Assembly Hall in this thread - |

Yeah, this is what caught most people out.
I picked Vherokior for the character looks and skills, but not this crap.
I even saved my old toon to copy it back to something more *cough* "REALISTIC" as CCP described it.
Not even close. I was expecting to be able to recreate my old toon, just with more realistic skin and full body modelling. That is the expectations that CCP set. But failed.
WHERE IS THE CSM when we need them?

There's more leverage to the character creator than people think.
The only thing difficult to make non-asian on vherokior are the eyes. Shades deal with that.
Also, lighting can be your friend.
I don't think my vherokior turned out that much asian in looks. |

This character is an Asian character. While it's also not human looking this chimp look is shockingly easier with an Asian male.

I have to admit, I was ****ed the first time I tried to remake Vel's avatar.
My second attempt came out much better - aside from the way the eyes make them look half asleep. --Vel

A couple of corpies were moaning about this the other day too.
One Japanese member was bemoaning the fact they now look southern Chinese. Apparently thats really bad.
She still came out fine in my opinion!

Op is a troll
He was same colour and ethnicity before its just now the process that manifests it has evolved and he is traumatised by the transition to the third dimension.
He is not racist, he just wants something to reinforce his own self worth and will not stretch his imagination.
I never see my picture in game unless at Character info screen, and you have great flexibility when make your character and you can use lighting and positioning to great effect if you take time to experiment for your mug shot.
if you are worried about WiS, CCP has stated that its an ongoing process, just start lobbying for Cosmetic Surgery Practices as an ISK sink in WiS where you can change everything at a price.

Wow, that picky. I guess he just did not try hard enough to make her more "Japanese." Oh and I'd do her.
As to OP. I don't understand how anyone could have failed to know that there were 3 "asian" bloodlines, one for each "race" in the game. The minmatar base models were the most mutable away from "Asian" looks in the old system. But they were still asian, which is a label encompassing a rather wide range of appearances.
If you are bemoaning the inability to adjust your epicanthial folds and shape of the eyes, well that could be modified in later iterations. The eyes in general for all the models lack enough ability to alter the shape modeling imo. In future updates to the character generator we will most likely have full bodies to clothe with more clothing options. And from what CCP appears to be saying there will be the option to redesign with each update.
In short, get over it. Do your best and play around with the controls that are in game at this time. Lastly, it is a game where you create a character that is not you ffs. Afterall, so many of us create female characters for that very reason. |

There is no possible way to avoid doing that with Vherokior. It's awful.
Good thing they get sunglasses at least ________________

I would agree that the eyes are the only issue,but i was also prepared for my character to look asian. I created this character shortly after the new bloodlines where introdused so i was well aware over the fact that they where supposed to look asian. Am i happy about how hard it was to make the character look..awake? No.. But im still happy with how my portrait turned out in the end (very very happy for getting the chanse to redo it tho,first time i really messed it up).
But more or less...The bloodline has always ment to look asian and as you can see on my old portrait you can see that the eyes are indeed asian. Not as much perhaps but enough to give people the idea
I have also seen a lot of really good looking character from this bloodline,so its not impossible to make them look good,it just takes some time. But ofc it depends a lot on your own personal taste,but i doubt you can blame CCP for that?
