yoni.7015 Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 Personally I don’t need more options and I think it’s fine as it is now. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's too much else that's going to take priority both long term and short term. Everyone has different things they'd like to see, but everything you work on comes at a cost. I'm not so sure what I'd want to give up to get these features. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quench.7091 Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 (edited) For the heck of it, here are the settings I would probably go for and why. This is just to show the practicality of my suggestions as a WvW player. It might even provide a good direction for a setting preset option for players like myself! ----------------------------------------------------------------- Menu Bar: Always Show It's too useful to hide, even in combat. Skill Bar: Show Only in Combat, unless updating. Knowing about stealth cooldowns or cooldowns after leaving a fight is important. Mount Skill Bar: Show Only in Combat, unless updating. The Warclaw has some high cooldown abilities, such as Sniff. I need to know if it's on cooldown. The siege turtle next expansion be combat related, so I'll want to keep the action bar up for that while in combat. Mount and Novelty Skills: Show Only out of Combat. Unless it's ugly to view the skill bar without this, I might as well as get rid of it for combat situations. Health and Energy Meter: Show Only in Combat, unless updating. Unless I've taken damage or have dodged to avoid taking it, I don't need to know my health or energy. Mount Health and Energy Meter: Show Only in Combat, unless updating. Preemptively dodging attacks on a Warclaw is very common. All mounts rely upon the player viewing the energy bar to make full use of their abilities, except for the springer. Objectives: Always Show I need to know about the supplies and capture points at an objective. Compass: Always Show Navigation is important, even in WvW combat. Rewards: Show Only out of Combat, unless updating. It's nice to know about a reward initially. Afterwards, hiding it might be a good option. EXP Bar: Never Show, unless updating. Somebody done died? Capture an objective? I want to see my WXP! Nothing happening? I don't care too much. The WvW and mastery panels cover the non-combat end of things. Party: Always Show Organizing with others is too important in a WvW setting. Chat Panel: Always Show PvP can be too distracting to have the chat panel fading away before a message is fully read. Target: Always Show Don't want to accidentally leap towards an enemy zerg! Better keep this on. Competitive: Always Show Anything competitive is too important to hide!

Strider Pj.2193 Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 A UI update has been requested multiple times over the years. Many would agree it needs to be changed. However, we’ve gotten very small tweaks in 9 years.. I am not certain, but willing to bet in game gold, that we won’t see a significant UI update in this game. GW1 had some higher level customization options. I would speculate that either the developers can’t make major changes, or it was one of the initial thoughts to not allow significant customization. But FWIW, I would agree with a major overhaul. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiro Kobra.6478 Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 There are a number of systems in this game which could use some cleanup, streamlining, and general QoL improvements. However, character creation is not one of them. The GW2 character customization is significantly better than most other MMOs. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibson.4036 Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 I really enjoy fine grained character creators. My family spent a lot of time playing with BDOs character creator you could download separately before launch. We never actually played the game itself, but that character creator was a lot of fun. The truth is, though, I spend the vast majority of my game time zoomed out and the defining appearance is the clothing my character is wearing. Retroactively adding that kind of customization would be a huge investment for minimal return. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aeon.4583 Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 (edited) Well, i would not mind if character creation had numeric measurement instead of scroll. And also when you choose character height it would have something like: compare to other npc characters - Where your character will stand next to chosen npc.

Thanks to the changes to the HUD that were made in Path of Fire, it might be easier than expected for #4. Ability cooldowns and character resource updates already trigger events for UI. #1 through #3 do worry me, though. Those are all combat related, so all of those things are probably tangled in years of spaghetti code as one big object. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xvalkyrie.6742 Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 I made Eureka, and have no regrets, but one QoL that would be lovely to see is the footfalls made a little bigger and maybe last a little longer. I use the mace on several characters and it's impossible to see it without looking really hard for the half second it appears when I move when using Glint on my Rev. I also have the incinerator and kudzu, and the footfalls for those last quite a bit longer and are plainly visible. Seems like those allow 4 spots to be up at once, leaving a pretty trail, whereas Eureka only has 2 that persist when running, making it hard to see, especially with how tiny a diameter the rock shards are. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It almost seems counterintuitive that the older game would have more UI customization options than the newer game but…. 🤷 And before someone else says ‘yada yada other games are like that’ I know. 😬 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stx.4857 Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 I don't think it needs a revamp, but some of the hair styles are definitely outdated and could use retexturing, some look like paper sheets.. I would like to see more face and beard options. I was trying to make a wizard character the other day. You know.. elderly with a long beard and all that, and the game really doesn't have much at all. Luckily one of the like four beards they do have was appropriate enough for my wizard. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeanBB.4268 Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 More options are always good. Maybe it would generate some makeover kit sales. I wouldn't list it as a high priority, though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I first and foremost want more options for human female bodies (some that aren't anorexic, narrow-shouldered, and "overly well equipped" on the front), also less deformed body types for male norn. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're kind of vague in your request.

Definitely, but mostly I'd just like them to fix/re-do the textures of the ones they recently released. The sylvari hairstyles look like clay, and most of the hairs for other races look like ridged, oily plastic. 😕 Blech. There are a few good ones, but most just look awful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AquaBR.9250 Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 (edited) Yall asking to be more specific i'll be for him: Premade faces that you can't change much, theres no tattoos and make-up, only like 2 human female faces that have lipstick that you can't change the color, even tho you can change eye color to any color (behind payed itens) you can only change the iris, i like to use black sclera on my characters and in this game you can only do so with a medium helm skin, no sliders for body, zero, no scars and the few slides we have on the face are worthless Edited February 19, 2022 by AquaBR.9250 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 I can't say I've ever really looked at anyone else's face. As far as my own face, 99% of the time it's turned 180 degrees away from me. 🤷♂️ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parasite.5389 Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 (edited) They literally added three new hair, and three new face options for charr, norn, asura, and sylvari characters and four new hair options, and six new faces for human characters in November.

Glott.7239 Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 I do agree that character creation can be improved but i don't believe that a lack of options is its biggest problem. My sugestions would be: The ability to preview, "Premium" hairstyle and/or face options including hair colors, exclusively available from total makeover kit, and the ability to unlock them by purchasing a total makeover kit or hairstyle kit right from inital character creation if you have non available in you bank. A better description of the classes playstyle, including previews of importent skills / traitlines / profession mechanics. A list of available weapon types for the classe. Previews of elite specs, including previews of important skills and its new weapon. A little more lore text about the race fore the RP crowd Getting rid of discontinued mecanics and meaningless desisions like the "personality" system. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
