Draw me like one of your french girls, Jack Niden.

Not gonna humor that. Also, too many try-hards in this thread ;p

Posting in a stealth "Suck up to the CCP dev" thread... He couldn't find a CCP dev with a female character I guess.


Am I the only one that doesn't care what the character looks like other than the ten minutes I spent making it? You can't interact with anyone in your character form. How about a "Most handsome and beautiful spaceship" thread?

You can't interact with anyone in your character form.

I care. I look at people's portraits all the time, and appreciate when someone's put in the work and done it well. It has little to do with the game itself, but I still count it as part of my EVE experience.

This is completely untrue.

It's not about technical possibilities, but about imagination.
At least until we get "gameplay" features, eventually,
which I do not actually prefer over my imagination.



There is no possible way to disconnect the avatar and it's portrait from the person behind.
Even if you do not care about it, it's still an expression of a part of yourself.
In this case, that you don't care about it enough. (that's seriously superficially speaking, but still true)



Portraits have a meaning. There is no way that a human looks at an image and doesn't react
in one way or the other, even if the reaction is to not care about it and move on.


First impressions always count, even for pixel images.
As long as it's a human, it works.


Portraits transport feelings.
It's a message.


There is so much more that could be done,
that would add tons of depths and possibilities ...

... and I am not talking about WiS, because I don't give a crap about WiS ...


... but we are not being heard even at the early stage.


They added no clothes at the last release, which is sad.



There's a multitude of reasons why CCP should pay more attention to this, us, whatever,
because we, even the lousiest roleplayers, create content literally every day for everyone involved.



And what do you do exactly?

I don't think anyone looks at another pilot's portrait and says "That looks like a nice person..."

I kind of like RP but I don't see much of it in Eve. ... That's about the most RP I've seen.

Maybe I'm just a bitter vet... I remember when your character portrait wasn't so fancy.

Maybe you just wander into a thread like this and make up imaginary facts.

The character creator used to make fancier characters. If anything, the results are far more generic now.

I kind of like RP but I don't see much of it in Eve. People will RP in Eve in the sense of pretending to be something their not to trick and kill you. That's about the most RP I've seen.

Just because you don't care about it doesn't mean that noone cares. It would be the same if I said that nullsec sov is pointless just because I don't bother.

There are people out there who spend much effort into making their char look in a way they enjoy. Myself included. Likewise we like to see the results of other people doing the same. So it is as much gameplay for us than it is for some people to have the name of their alliance on the map.

I don't agree with this at all, the new character creator is a fantastically flexible and creative tool. Any perceived similarities between characters rest solely on the lack of creativity or interest from the players themselves.

Whoever says "dat ass! :O" first,
linking at the picture he likes most ... receives 10 Million ISK. ;)

I agree with Sibyyl on this. The new CC is too bland and most races look the same. It lacks some of the unique things that really sets the races apart. Now there is mostly just different variations of t-shirts, jackets and shirts that don't have the weird scifi style that the old one had.

The new CC is great with the flexibility and options on how to make your char look. But the actual styles are rather limited.

Dude, you're doing it right now!

I pretty sure he just mean "physical" contact with others characters, like incarna had to be.
