Character customization has been brought up many times on the forums but I really wanted to make my own thread focused more towards my personal character customization suggestions for in-game & cash shop – with images added to help illustrate what I’m hoping to find.
After playing the beta I couldn’t help but notice that a lot of npc’s have special and unique eyes/eye colors, hairstyles/hair colors, & costumes. I tried my best to take screenshots of the ones I liked most as I came across them, because it’s my hope that the iCoin shop will feature unique paid cash shop cosmetics that can give you the ability to further customize your character while also supporting the game.
(I know there will be in-game unlockable eye colors/hair colors, and that should stay & be expanded upon – but many npc’s definitely had uniquely shaped eyes/hair that didn’t look jarring and could add diversity in the playerbase while adding a healthy way to support the game!)
Without further ado, here are my favorite examples.
^ Companion Trader actually has one of my favorite costume designs in the game & I hope for there to be a class similar to her some day.
(I get that some of these ex. might be too complicated to animate properly, but they’re only examples… !)
Next up, skin colors! Now this is something I actually believe should be some kind of option at game start to be most respectful. At least an option of three skin palettes: Dark, Tan, Light. (Not those exact words, but you know what I mean.)
I think beyond those 3 starting skin palettes you could offer a slightly wider variety of special skin palettes in the cosmetic iCoin shop. Something like a warmer blushed tan called ‘sun kissed’ or an extra pale skin palette. Think something along the lines of 라테일 (LaTale) 's cosmetic system.
Lastly, aside from non-class related costumes which I do hope make it into the game, the ToS npcs made me wonder if there could be alternate versions of all the classes costumes – Either attained through iCoin or, more interestingly, by moving into a further circle of your class.
^For example, Instead of Druid c3 looking like Druid c1, perhaps it could unlock access to the Druid Master’s version.
(Also these two are almost a good example for my skin palette request since the one on the right looks more pale than the left. The left has blush… I hope you guys give us blush.)
In closing, playing the game got me really excited for the future of ToS and my characters in them & I hope to see the playerbase get access to some of these things.
Addendum
- Emotes. (I think I may have actually found one in icbt as a book that I consumed but I never saw it in f8.)
- Voice Sets: young, mature, sultry, shy, etc.
- Hats! (I’d mostly like these to stay as earned in-game items/drops but wouldn’t mind a few in shop.)
- Cosmetic Pets, with no other benefits than looking nice.
- Alternate versions of skill effects.
