What's up with hair colors?

I couldn’t play until today, one week before the end, but this surprised me so much that I had to post it now.

I knew that they wanted to put hair colors as rewards for some very stupid reasons, but what they’ve done is going TOO FAR. I mean, only ONE color for each hairstyle when creating a character? That’s ridiculous! Why do I have to look like a clone of that other swordman? And why can’t I be brunette AND have a tiny ponytail? Does blonde hair have some special qualities that allows it to be tied up that other colors don’t?
It’s very annoying that I can’t get my character to look anywhere close to how I want even though the game already has the means to do so.

I’ve seen the achievements (they’re stupid and grindy), but that’s just not enough. And also proves that they have already put the system in place, so if reward colors are already in, I have no reason to suspect that base colors will exist but they haven’t put them in yet.

Please change this in the future, locking all traces of customization into an achievement based system seriously impairs customization itself. And what sane person would decide to radically alter how their character looks AFTER they have become attached to them? Common sense says the opposite!

Now to keep on playing. I hope this is the only thing that will get on my nerves because otherwise it’s being quite a fun game.

Actually the pink and white are very easy to get, almost automatic. Or at least it should… I had some problems with the white.

Apparently when you craft multiple items at once, this only counts as one. Once I discovered this, I tried to craft one by one. And it worked, but then I was disconnected and the counter was reset. :expressionless:

Anyway, I agree. Another method and more colors are welcome.

If I remember correctly, white is the “craft a tonna items” and pink the high level quest one, right?
The first one does still fit under “grindy” if you want to unlock it early (which is what most people who actuallly want it would try to do?), but both of them still fal under “stupid”, since it’s just practically putting a wait timer under the option just because.

But anyways, pointless achievements are just part of the problem.

#4

Who cares hair colors can come later during beta they should be worrying about making things function. Besides you can just go unlock hair colors some of them are time consuming but none of them are hard.

If they give you what you want then they aren’t pointless are they.

#5

They’re more of preventing me from getting what I want.

And why should I think that they will come later?

#6

because they have already shown they plan to put colors via achievements so i would be surprised if we don’t get the basics in there as well like brown blonde etc

#7

At this point I have more ground to think they’ll put those colors as achievements rather than in the character creation screen. Since the former system already exists but the later doesn’t.

#8

Yea thats what i was saying i expect to see them as achievement rewards. But with them being basic colors they will probably be doable at low lvls much like black is.

#9

Well, as I said. If it weren’t for these bugs/misfortunes I would have gotten both without realizing it (and therefore without grind).

But make colors unlockable when we already have tons of accessories for appearance, really sounds a little silly… Maybe some rare hair styles could be unlockable, but colors…? Urrrrrrrr…

(Now I just need actual glasses.)

#10

this game isnt one that focuses on character customization and all. I wouldnt expect too much.

As it is the same with all top-down view mmos. If you can name one with decent character customization and all please let me know.

#11

I don’t know if it counts as decent but I’ll say one with better early customization.
Ragnarok Online.

#12

Wish the hair colours were tweaked a bit further.
Pink and white feel the same :L

#13

you can change hair color and hair style…

i can do both those in this game. lol

#14

It’s more restrictive than what RO offers. There should be a certain amount of hair colors and eye colors available during character creation, and they can tie some unusual ones to achievements if they want.

I guess it could be worse though. All the hair colors could be locked behind a paywall.

#15

Ro has added colors and styles over 10 years. and at the start the colors were

red/white/blue/green/ brown or blonde depending on hairstyle selected

even now there is only 9 colors per style and in tos we have 4 available currently at least in beta. Mind you they have to be obtained via achievement rather then handed out at the start. But none of the achievements are hard.

As for styles ragnarok has 27 for each gender once again after over 10 years. On release they had 10-12. And i would expect more styles from this game but they maybe achievement locked or cash shop or something looking at the way the game is being developed.

#16

And 15 years later, they will add a new race! Maybe the first of many…

#17

When i saw that i was sooooo glad i recently quit playing. The character isn’t even designed the same as the old ones it looks super out of place in game to me.

#18

So right after coming up, when creating a character in RO you could choose among 10 hairstyles and 5 colors, right?
Meanwhile, as it is ToS offers 10x1 at character creation.

#19

and is not released yet.

#20

That’s correct. And I’m trying to push for them to “fix” that.
It’d be saddening and kind of pathetic if it stays as 10x1 at release
