Koopa.8346 Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 So... out of the available player races, only humans got new hairstyles and faces. Don't get me wrong, faces and hair fit for Elona and Elonians had a long time coming and I'm happy for those who it's important to. But is it wrong for me to be the teensiest bit salty about continuous human favoritism? Out of my nearly 30 characters, only three are humans, two are Norn and the rest is an even mix of Sylvari, Charr and Asura, so maybe there's some vested interest involved, but it really isn't fair that a massive amount of cosmetics in this game are catered directly towards 1/5 of playable races.I didn't expect an equal amount of new faces or hairstyles for other races, but some kind of a non-TMK treat would've been appreciated. Especially when the last couple of TMK faces have been the exact same model but with different textures.I dunno. It's not a huge deal and it certainly won't ruin the expansion for me, but I can't say I'm not disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chadramar.8156 Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 I do wish they'd make a handful of new faces and hairs for the other races as well. As you said, the Elonian customizations were needed, overdue and awesome. Nothing changes that. At the same time, human favouritism is definitely a big thing in this game, and when you compare these great new options to many of the vanilla ones, you see the HUGE difference in quality. Especially for sylvari, who have several faces and hair (and cultural armors) that look like cheap, waxy plastic.Giving the other races even half as many new options as the humans did, of the same quality, not over-the-top (like the exploding anime hairstyle for male charr), free for everyone, and not just slightly different make-up on four iterations of the same face, would be great.

GreyCatfish.9356 Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 (charr player here)I guess it will be faster to just delete all my characters and recreate them as humans.Non-human races are mostly ignored since release. More hair styles / face options for other races = more money for Anet. I would gladly spend some $ on makeover kits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KimRasmussen.4128 Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Human player here, while i do agree with your post i would also like to have some new human male faces, why cant i make a old male face? Why must all human males look like a Ken doll?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sasya neko.1985 Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 well, the female faces are mostly a let down so you're not missing much, i can agree about the hair styles tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frostfang.5109 Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Charr playerHumans did not only get new faces and hairs, they also got new racial features wich for humans is beards..... The equivalence for other races would be:horns + tur patterns (charr)tattos + beards (norn)skin patterns + ears (sylvaris and asura) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thelgar.7214 Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 I wouldn't mind a few new non-ugly asura faces. Though at the same time, I wonder if adding more attractive-by-human-standards faces wouldn't reduce the racial uniqueness and reduce them to little humans with big ears.

kamykaze.5904 Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 As far as i understood it from a live stream, they made these new hairstyles and faces just for NPC's initially (and there are only humans in Elona), but decided to make them available for players as well and that's the reason why there's no new things for the other races.But i agree, new hairstyles, faces and stuff for all races are long overdue. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could've just decided to not give us access to these new assets.So, on one side it's nice, that they allow us to use them. On the other side, yes it's a bit unfair that only humans got new styles.I mean, i don't play humans at all, so i have no benefit from it, but i don't like the new ones anyway, so i can ignore them, but it would be really nice to see some new stuff for all the others.Maybe instead of a new fancy bling bling black lion weapon set, they should create some new hairstyles and stuff next time. ;PBut who knows what they're working on behind the scenes.

Frostfang.5109 Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 I've been hoping and waiting for the presentation and result of that "behind-the-scenes" work for years now, litteraly! I have a hard time believing they even bother with other races.What i have noticed though is that A-net sometimes do listen on the communitys requests sometimes, why there is still a tiny bit of hope, if we keep letting them know what we want.
