Cantha Makeover Options

[Aran.9374]

I'm hoping the makeover kits will be updated for the EoD expansion to include some of the more realistic asian inspired face options, which we've seen in the Virtuoso video and some of the concept art. Thanks!

Didn't the Devs say there would be some new Cathan options?

They did yes. Im just hoping they extend new looks to every race(not all the same looks obviously.)

[Inculpatus cedo.9234]

Glad someone else remembered that.

I could not find where I read/heard that.

It was at the very end of the expansions feature list, not sure on the exact time.

Thank you, friends, for responding so quickly to my question. This is great news! 🐉

I hope Arenanet remembers the other races as well as humans. I'm excited for Canthan human features and hairstyles as well, but I also have characters of the other races too. Seeing as this expansion and PoF are both 'human-centric' in the sense that we're visiting human kingdoms from GW1, when you could only play as human, special care needs to be taken by Arenanet to give attention to all playable races--one way is by giving them new creation features. In PoF, we saw new options for only humans at first. Then, in the living story following/continuing PoF, we got a ton of new charr options thanks to the Olmakhan. However, Asura, Norn, and Sylvari were neglected. 

 

Potential ideas for non-human races:

 

Sylvari - Plant-based imitations of Canthan hairstyles. Perhaps also skin, eye, and color options allowing you to create an Awakened Sylvari or an ex-Mordrem Sylvari, since both of these variants are a thing. 

 

Charr - Flame legion horns and features. Just as the addition of the Olmakhan brought their horns/features, the alliance with Flame Legion should provide the same. Flame Legion Smoke and Lava shamans have unique horns and faces unavailable to players. A variation on Efram/Gaheron's horns would be cool as well. 

 

Norn - New tattoos, especially tattoos themed around the lost Spirits we dealt with in Icebrood Saga. Now that Eagle, Wolverine, Ox, and Owl are free of Jormag, they (perhaps with the exception of Owl) will become a part of mainstream Norn society again. Perhaps some features and eyes which are damaged/scarred by frostbite as well/

 

Asura - These guys are the hardest, since they sadly haven't been given the focus afforded to the other three. However, since Asura involve themselves in dangerous science experiments so frequently,. messed up faces and ears from various lab disasters would always be fun. Maybe some Asura with cyborg alterations? A false eye, metal paneling on a scarred face, ect?

Im a single this out:

The Olmhakhan features we got(aside from the one new hairstyle and the new horns, which are nice, and all horn styles on both genders of Charr), can only be obtained via a bug in the makeover kit, and i HOPE they dont remove that bug come the next update.

 

There are alot of features that can be added though. Several horn types only found on NPCs, Crecias and a few other NPC have faces we dont, some fur patterns/colours we dont have(That have been in the game for years on NPC), and then theres flame legion stuff as well which could be expanded on quite a bit.

I think we'll get new makeover options, and not just for humans (or at least I hope). For sylvari for example, we could have bamboo hair/beards, cherry blossom hair/beards, etc. This could have been done in HoT and PoF as well, using jungle & desert flora as inspiration - but for some reason anet never introduced those. I'm hoping this time they'll give us new makeover options for every race - even if they don't resemble a canthan look, we just want more options 😉

Ahh, found it.  I had read/skimmed through that, but I guess a bit too fast.

 

Josh: That is very true. One note I want to add in, so you mentioned the Identity Repair Kit that'll be available. There are going to be some new looks with the expansion that players can benefit from so it does come in quite handy, I think.

That isn't true--when the Olmakhan section of the story released, they also released a patch that made charr horns gender neutral AND added like 6-7 brand new kinds of horns. We also got a new female charr face. Those horn models are still mostly seen among the Olmakhan/Flame Legion and are more rare among the other three legions.

You can only see them when useing one of the makeover kits right?

Yea, the horns(All but one) can actually be selected. For the Olmha horns(The glowy ley line ones for female charr, and the tribal ones for male) can only be obtained via a "Bug"(I hope its a feature) of the make over kit. I dont know what face they are speaking about though, all the ones that i can see via a makeover kit, have been there since before that patch.

Bottom right one in this image. It's not makeover kit-exclusive, it's at the end of the list like the PoF human face/hair options.

I really don't think it's a bug. The faces and hairstyles added to the total makeover kit in that patch have the star in the corner to show they're exclusives (except the ones who are also available at character creation) and it's not the first time they've added new faces or hair styles. I think it was a normal update to the kits when they had options to add.

These dont show up that way.

 

The two horns i mentioned can currently only be obtained through a convoluted method.

[Coelho Nat.4697]

I love Marjory face. Although it is possible to copy something close with a total makeover kit, it is still not the same. I hope they can include some more eastern face options in the xpac.

[Suspicious Khani.9275]

In addition to new styles I'd love to see all hairstyles become unisex and usable regardless of character gender. There are a ton of male only sylvari hairstyles that would be fantastic on female sylvari. Same goes for Asura.

[Doggie.3184]

still been waiting for some pretty male faces like Trehearne's for Sylvari, hope they don't only add human stuff again unless they wanna give us race change items finally. perfect time for cherry blossom and bonsai boiz.
