Edited by: Daravel on 19/07/2007 00:46:42 Is it just me, or does there seem to be very small variety in the avatars of same race people?
I often see people who look more or less the same as me, and sometimes in the same clothes.
Now, I'm not sure if this is already on the drawingboard, but for the graphics update, can we get a lot more variety for when we re-model ourselves?
facial hair? greater variety of hair styles?

It's down to how much time you spend on creation I guess and being prepared to go down the road less travelled. Gallente visors comes to mind.
I think I look rather special, not completely unlike Joshua Foiritain here above but nevertheless nothing like his beady-eyed criminal demeanor.
That being said yes more diversity would be nice.

I like the avatars the way they are. Most of the races are varied enough that I can tell who people are even by the small icon in the forums.
The OP though is the worst bloodline for this. Achura, especially the males, all look the same to me.

I spent a bit of time on my avatar and up till today I have not yet seen one the same as mine.
It would be nice if there was a wider variety of things to do to the avatars as it would make for a lot more unique ones..

I respectfully disagree.
There is a great deal of variety in what you can do when creating an Avatar. There could be more, no doubt, like more options for skin tone and skull size, but there's a lot of variety that can be had with what's available.
But I think most people are just lazy. They take the first option and make a tweak or two and that's it. That's why we have so many clones about. If more people really played with the options, there would be much more diversity.
And I don't think there are than many freakish looks out there, by default. And this is subject to one's own taste, of course. But all thre races can look normal, or good, but, again, you have to put time into it.
I used to get It. Then It changed. Now I don't even know what It is.

The lesser races need more hoods, I say.
All right, all right, if you want to be foppish, make them come in fancy colours or something...
...that said, there can be some variety even with the current avatars, though personally I do miss choices that would support a greater age variation, as well as beards. (Though for the reason of floating in goo for the most time I'd assume beards are not quite practical for capsuleers, and there might be racial fashion things, such like the Amarr actually preferring to look older.)

Aye, enough with the old man Amarr routine. Took me three attempts with this avatar just to get him young-looking. I like Amarr. Who says we are all old sods anyways? I'm sure there's ugly Gallente, and Handsome Amarr in the worlds? Makes no sense what-so-ever to limit the avatars 'age' bracket via the original races picture. The graphics are getting an update, time to update our pictures as well. Variation is good. Sure, we get heaps of backgrounds, lighting effects and morphing of the face (good on them)...but we don't get different faces to begin with. It's 'one size fits race' only. How will that effect our avatars next year in station anyways? Will our pictures be used as the template, or are we going ground up?
If ground up, may as well give us some variety as suggested by the others. Couldn't hurt eh.

Two facts :
- So many people (forum/net/guide ...) told you that Achura is the only possible choice to play Eve Online. When you choose Achura be sure to fall in the Clone Army.
WoW has Elves, EvE has Achura ...
- Achura are Ugly .. quite normal for a race with a so low charisma. 90% of people choosing Achura make this choice only for Stats.
If you want an unique avatar ... easy ... dont make a male "Caldari"

Edited by: Lowanaera on 19/07/2007 09:28:22 The system isn't broken, the users are. I have yet to see another Khanid who looks even close to me, because I 1)have an IC personality that isn't "lolomghi I'm cute ^_____^", I'm an egotistical, noble-born racist religious zealot not a model, and 2)wanted to reflect the fact that Khanid have abysmal starting Cha. So, I went for refined but not really pretty, and it has worked out well.

To be fair, when people chose their character portraits they tend to subscribe to commonly accepted notions of aesthetics within the confines of that race's appearance.
For example, all those Amarr Darth wannabe types have made their portraits according to the common perception of an "Death Knight".
Myself for example, I chose to go with a rock chick look since this is a style that appeals to me.
I just feel sorry for the Caldari since they are so clean cut. It's like going to a cheesy club and seeing clones of the same person with slightly different faces...

Yes. I think mine is very unique.
There's six of us Deitis males in this thread so far and three of us picked the Han Solo wannabe leather vest over white shirt look, including you and me.

I spent hours working on mine, finally got everything the way I wanted, picked a name... disconnected. Erg. Ok, I spent a half hour tweeking again, got everything just so, picked a name again... disconnected. @*#!! Ok, spent 15 minutes tweeking, who cares about the details, picked a name... DISCONNECTED!
WTH!? Spent 47 seconds in a half-arsed attempt to get the look, what was that name? can't remember and it's rejecting my others, screw it, try this... it works! ok, ffs good enough.

Which is why I look like a haroin addict that had his head shaved after he fell asleep on the sidewalk waiting in line for some Star Wars convention.

How's that for unique?

You are wrong. It's not a leather vest over a white shirt. It's one piece, made out of two different materials/colors.
And... guilty as charged. 
The selection of decent clothing articles is a little limited on Caldari side. Srsly!

It's quite rare that I see someone that resembles myself. Perhaps it's because I spent a good amount of time on it, perhaps not.
I do have one of the lesser chosen race/bloodline/gender combinations though, that's more likely than not the main reason I see so few like me.

I only spent about 15 minutes working on mine, but to lose it to disconnection was a bit frustrating..twice.
The most noticeably repetitive model in my opinion is the Caldari, short hair, unshaven, mercenary looking face. Far too much inbreeding in that bloodline. They really need more variety.
As for my own avatar, it looks like many others of the same race and I had to have the aviators, but there is a fair amount of distinction, given the limited options.

Mine is rather similar too.
Pretty much standard Jim Mei male look. I tried to give him sort of a nasty sneer, but you really can't see it that well. I just wish we could pick other images for our avatars, or that the selection options were a bit more diverse. I would willingly sacrifice all the fancy backgrounds for more head choices. Better headgear choices would be nice too. I think the main reason that you see so many other Jim Mei like mine is that the headgear/hair choices are mostly freaky crap like "Ambassador Molari" hair, no hair at all, or freaky things stuck to your head. The shirt selections don't help either. Jin Mei are supposed to be "Japanese" in culture, but they have frigging Dracula collars on half their outfits.
We need better Avatar choices CCP. And at least one free avatar change per character.

Some more variety for facial structure/weight would be interesting, as we don't tend to see any fat/balding people, or other such eccentricities.
When ambulation rolls around you'll be able to start purchasing custom costumes, etc, so things might start to branch out a bit, although I suppose once the 'faction' clothing goes on sale for 1 bil each there will be whole crews of people running around with the same 'epic gear' and it will be WOW in space....
to the OP, you are correct in that most people go for the generic look.

A lost of people claiming they hgave never seen someone similar to theirs... well, I see people who have the same 'face' just not the same details.
Thats probably the ore issue, everyone who picks the same race/bloodline ends up with the same starter face, and for some bloodlines, the choices for variation are too limited to create a truly different avatar.
I also don't think the backgrounds add much. What about a background which is a station widnow that looks out onto space (like newsreaders have with the city behind them) Or a background which shows something game related, to add context.

I'd be all in favor of adding more options/diversity to Avatars, especially with 'ambulation' maybe possibly coming into the game. (side rant: silly word for such a cool concept, when is the last time you ambulated to the fridge for a soda?)
A lot of the stuff we can do with current avatars is fairly limited. "What do you mean? I look nothing like him! My smirk is a fraction of an inch higher on the left!" et al.

Two facts :

WoW has Elves, EvE has Achura ...
- Male Achura are Ugly .. quite normal for a race with a so low charisma. 90% of people choosing Achura make this choice only for Stats.
If you want an unique avatar ... easy ... dont make a male "Caldari"
Fixed it a bit. There are lots and lots and even some more female Achura clones. Considering the low charisma, their looks are hardly justifiable.
But apart from that it's oh so true..
If you want to be different, just don't make a Caldari char at all. Male or female doesn't matter.

I think my Avatar is fairly distinctive, at least compared to the other Ni-Kunni I've come across in game/on the forums. But yeah, it'd be nice to have more customization/variation in them. As it stands it appears that there is a whole lot of inbreeding going on in the EVE universe

I think the amount of different characters you can make currently is pretty good, although more is always better.
It's just that people don't really spend all that much time on it when they're starting out.
I did spend a good bit of time originally, but not enough, so I did a portrait swap, which makes it even less of a issue really.
