If it's taken you 30 days just to get a character to look to your satisfaction as you say, then you have plenty of gaming in front of you. By withholding with service as something players can access within the game by paying in-game gold they leave players in a state of frustration which they hope will build to the point where enough of them say "I'd even be willing to pay real money to change my appearance". I suspect they have aspirations towards implementing a cash shop. NPC + open character creator + save new data. That solves the problem.įrom a programming point of view that would be incredibly simple. That's really bad for the business and could be costing them money.Īs others have said the solution is to provide an in-game means of altering your appearance. I had already cancelled my sub by that point. altmer) but it took me a bit more than two weeks of creating and deleting argonians to settle on an appearance I liked.Īnd it wasn't until I could start playing that argonian that I started enjoying the game enough to stick around. I didn't have too much trouble with some races (eg. Thanks for your time, and I hope fixes will be implemented *soon*.Īs a relatively new player I share the OP's frustration. And it shouldn't be something we have to pay (real money) for. If you're going to limit deletions, then we really should have a way to change appearance after creation. It's highly annoying, and it results in my being unable to play. I've played a lot of MMORPGs, with satisfactory gold/spam reduction/elimination measures in place, and I've *never* seen a deletion limit before ESO. (3) Give us a way to change appearance in-game, after creation! And the last is the most important of the three. (2) Fix character creation so appearance results match color swatches. (1) Fix character creation so characters look in-game like they do in character creation. So, I suggest and request, on behalf of all the players who want a fix for appearance: and the issues with character creation appearance. Ah, but the limit was implemented in response to player complaints, and you don't want to remove that now and have unhappy players, right? Well, there are still unhappy players *because* of the limit. What's the solution? Remove the deletion limit. (And I must mention, too, that it would help tremendously if an eye swatch that is white actually resulted in white eyes! This is only one example of issues.) What's the issue? Characters do not look in-game the same as they do in character creation. causing me to be unable to continue playing the game. Now, I want to try another class, but I'm right back to trying to get an acceptable character appearance, and there's the deletion limit again. However, it's *extremely* frustrating to those of us who care about the appearance of our characters! I literally spent the first 30 days of my game-time just trying to get a character that looked satisfactory (to me). I understand the reason(s) behind limiting character deletion, and I suppose it may have helped with reducing or eliminating gold spammers, etc.
