The Pointless Gallente Lacks a Point Ltd	Posted - 2007.06.01 16:42:00 - [1] OK, the character portraits in this game are many and varied. Or at least, I would like to think so. Anyway! Some portraits are frankly... crap. I won't go into the details of what I consider a crap portrait for fear of this thread getting locked for flamebait, but I will ask this: Who here actually puts any effort into their portraits, adjusting every available detail until they've reached as close to 'perfection' as the client will allow? Who just accepts the default settings? Who wants to admit to going for the first clichT that crosses their mind? I'd like to think I fall under the former category myself. I put effort into my portrait. Probably didn't turn out as well as expected, but at least I tried. Honest. ----------------------------------------------- "Breaking News! The Pointless hates GIFs!"
Lou Margoulin	Posted - 2007.06.01 16:47:00 - [2] You should have take the same amount of time to find a decent name
Erim Solfara Amarr Tarlos INC	Posted - 2007.06.01 17:02:00 - [3] To answer the question, I spent a fair bit of time getting the mesh right, the positioning and clothing etc didn't matter so much. That I would change now, but I'm happy with my face so I guess it's just a bad photo of a good lookin' guy. Secondly, I agree with the comment about spending more time getting a good name : P New ship class
Tortun Nahme Minmatar Heimatar Services Conglomerate	Posted - 2007.06.01 17:05:00 - [4] I spent enough time on mine to perfectly mirror the look I was gonig for probably too much time Real turtles tank armor. Real men fly Pink.
Alex Vox	Posted - 2007.06.01 17:07:00 - [5] on this character i didn't spend too much time, but on my alt . . i spend almost 1 hour to get it right. . . i was almost done...hit next - > connection lost (i stayed too much on character creation screen), repeat, but then i didn't like it very much -> repeat the whole operation
Glumpumpkin House Elf Liberation Front	Posted - 2007.06.01 17:17:00 - [6] i feel pretty oh so pretty
Dario Wall Caldari Setenta Corp Xelas Alliance	Posted - 2007.06.01 17:29:00 - [7] I'm fine with how mine turned out...
Selene Fenestre Lemuria Prospecting	Posted - 2007.06.01 17:35:00 - [8] I, in a moment of drunken clarity wondered if there was a correlation between 'evilness' and which way the head was looking. I.e, do most pirate chars look left? etc, etc... Then I just got distracted by something shiny and wandered off and fell asleep I think

Coughs You busy Saturday night?

Tortun Nahme Minmatar Heimatar Services Conglomerate	Posted - 2007.06.01 17:40:00 - [11] I'm off at 5 Real turtles tank armor. Real men fly Pink.
Tamaara Amarr Ahkentari	Posted - 2007.06.01 17:44:00 - [12] I tried, but the portraits come out slightly different than what you see in char creation. I had to give up after a while and just go with whatever my efforts had produced.
Ralara Caldari Exanimo Inc Triumvirate.	Posted - 2007.06.01 17:47:00 - [13] Edited by: Ralara on 01/06/2007 17:46:13 I went to a great deal of effort with my three: Ralara http://img.eve.is/serv.asp?s=256&c=714948175 Ralarina http://img.eve.is/serv.asp?s=256&c=228028745 Kaeana http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h172/weyountdb/480576039.jpg It's the eyes, you see (or lack thereof)
Selene Fenestre Lemuria Prospecting	Posted - 2007.06.01 17:47:00 - [14] Originally by: Tortun Nahme I'm off at 5 Great, I know this wonderful place. Veld everywhere... Bring your hauler alt
J'Mkarr Soban Amarr Viziam	Posted - 2007.06.01 17:59:00 - [15] Edited by: J''Mkarr Soban on 01/06/2007 17:59:58 Edited by: J''Mkarr Soban on 01/06/2007 17:59:05 Yeah, I put alot of effort into both my original portrait, and the one I bought for his 4th birthday. But yes, the names of the vast majority of players sicken me. It's a MMORPG. 'Bobtastic' is not a decent name. Nor is 'wtfbbqpwnd', 'Kill0r', or any variation of 'leet' speak, 'txt' speak, or mongations. Seriously. If you want stupid names as your handles, then ask CCP to implement handles, otherwise, it's supposed to be the real, registered at birth, name of your character. Would you name your kid the same name you named your character? No, didn't think so. So change it. EDIT: I hasten to add that last question is rhetorical. I really, really don't want to know if you actually would.

RtoZ	Posted - 2007.06.01 18:04:00 - [18] To the OP: oh please... so much effort and all your character ended up looking like was a rave party reject. This thread is your name. I did put some effort into my alts but I am fully aware beauty is in the eye of the beholder, there is no point even debating this. Plus funny > good looking anyways.

I could conjure up a number of backstories behind the name (only... I don't roleplay)... What gives? ----------------------------------------------- "Breaking News! The Pointless hates GIFs!"

Yeah, your one is one I would say is pointless Again, that's an example of a handle, a moniker, but not a real name.
Rhaegor Stormborn Sturmgrenadier Inc R i s e	Posted - 2007.06.01 18:10:00 - [22] I spent like an hour working on a face I liked, and I am not sure I even like it that much anymore.
Alexis Machine Minmatar Ceraphite Technologies	Posted - 2007.06.01 18:11:00 - [23] I spent a great deal of time on mine. Then I log in one day to find my portrait was changed. I think it was after the rollback? So I payed to change it. And every time I clicked "next" the head angle changed. So I gave up and went with what it spit out.

Well it's a much better moniker than, say, "n00bspank0r" or something equally childish. And like I said, I could pull a decent backstory behind it out of my... ahem. Plus, can you honeslty say that nobody in the real world, at your home, that bloke who passes your house looking like a right chav, has no handle himself? ----------------------------------------------- "Breaking News!

Sian Tairnesh Gallente	Posted - 2007.06.01 18:15:00 - [25] Edited by: Sian Tairnesh on 01/06/2007 18:14:23 I once managed to make a Minmatar (one of the bloodlines, don't remember) look like Bruce Willis. Not on purpose, though, I was just playing around a bit. I don't usually go along with a fixed image but rather start with one piece that I like (e.g. the hair) and then choose stuff that seems to suit it. Btw: As much as I like the exclamation mark look, I'd like to finally get my face. I've been playing for nearly a month... It should show up anytime now...
Jim McGregor	Posted - 2007.06.01 18:19:00 - [26] I wanted a thug looking guy, but only spent 5 minutes on it. I wanted to get in the game as quickly as possible. --- Originally by: CCP Wrangler You're not supposed to feel like you're logging in to a happy, happy, fluffy, fluffy lala land filled with fun and adventures, thats what hello kitty online is for.
goofus	Posted - 2007.06.01 18:43:00 - [27] spent way more time on the name than my portrait.

Honest. yeah we need more options it feels like when you choose a certain race that they are all an inbred family no more than 1-2 generations directly related thats impossible since even pure races like true amarr span planets im sure with rev 2.0 and full body avatars we will get more options to the face and physical attributes i personally would like a very muscular male as my pod pilot ____ __ ________ _sig below_ the jet cans are made so that people that dont mine can get free ore miners ritually donate the ore to anyone wishing to take some

Most of those don't have screws, never mind handles
000Hunter000 Gallente Magners Marauders	Posted - 2007.06.01 19:10:00 - [30] Hehe, my portrait, yes actually i did put some time into that. My name however.. i never planned to play this game beyond the 2 week trial.. that was 3 years ago, and tbh i regret not choosing a better name, esp cuz i end up on top of every local channel whereever i go and in times of war i'm kinda hard to mis me when entering a system no matter if it's crowded or not, there i am. (and no i did NOT plan this to happen and yes there are people with names that would show up above me but i think most are alts or inactives) tbh, this is making me think about the 'removal of local' discussion and how bad/good this would be hehe, but thats getting OT so nm this.
