What's the big deal about limited "resculpts"? Is there some sort of heavy server load related to full resculpts compared to standard recustomization (rendering the new portraits?), or is is just an arbitrary decision?

Awesome. We like it.

On a side note: I would pay Aura for an occasional rescupt. It should be provided as a vanity item. Or perhaps a isk fee (to add a isk sink to the game) as many players would love an occasional 'nip tuck' as they say in RL now and again.

Different team, different artists and programmers. Please post those concerns/issues in the Test Server Feedback channel.


Please link the threads that are relevant places for us to post in.

Why are they not reading an essentially art development blog response thread is a little... whut?

and really what the hell is happening in the art department that they feel the need to make all the aesthetic non-spaceship stuff bad? (and by bad i mean reducing character design options/ugly 80's inspired clothes, and not even the good 80's clothes)

Its not possible to please all the people all the time, but it sure as hell is possible to Displease all the people, most of the time.

When are we going to see MOAR Nex stuff?

I know some may be sore about the whole MT / Jita Protest stuff, but I see nothing wrong with using PLEX to pay for an Artist to come up with cool stuff as long as it isn't game breaking which the NEX STORE IS NOT.

I want MOAR clothes, MOAR art we can buy, MOAR CUSTOM SHIP SKINS AND CORP LOGOS....MOAR I SAY! PLEASE PLEASANTLY SUPRISE ME! :)

::cracks the whip on the CCP Artists!::

maybe soonish Smile


That would be nice, specially if CCP learned what is the concept behind MICROtransactions implying MICROpayments for MICRO aesthetical improvements with NULL ingame usability.

"Do I buy a faction battleship or a skirt instead?" should not be the guideline for pricing.

The people the most interested with WiS stuff are not the ones who roll in billions and don't know what else to buy after their get that third supercapital, rather the people who will never abandon their lives to get enough time to play EVE the politically correct way and so wil enver fly a supercapital nor vote the CSM nor get a buddy into CCP payroll to bias the game in their favor.

I wouldn't mind to resub my main so she could afford to dress all my toons in a sensible amount of time... say, two months. That's some 1.5 bilion ISK for roughly 10 pieces of upper tier apparel... just sayin'. Blink

So height is probably going to be near the bottom of the list of things to improve with characters along with the issues weight (the abundance of) where causing too.

So my question is where do hats sit on this avatar 'todo' list?
I miss them dearly.

Also can we get non shades glasses like glasses with frames? I know it s abit old school from eve's point of view but it shouldnt be the excuse for being old fashioned just like peoples till dressing up in steam punk attaire today.

We had a pair of normal glasses on SiSi like last week.

Good dev blog... But i think i'll wait until work has "finished" on the character creator instead of re-customizing every time a change is made.

The wishlist is pretty much complete...

Nice :]

I was always wondering.... why everyone in eve have same height? There is so so many options, almost including shoe size & tongue length. Man with small "thing" say that "size doesn't matter", but i don't agree :P

So why we cant fix the height of avatar?


BTW:

Karkur, my dear.

Do you know something about fixing camera pointer in CQ and camera offset in Character Customization window for dual screen users?
We was talking about that in UI topic some time ago and we reopened my bugreports for it.

Any news? Is anyone taking care about that in CCP?

I ask coz I have problems with making my makeup properly :p

Kisses for everyone, like always :*

This was explained at one beautiful day long time ago. The story begins with serious technical issue and then comes the end.

Again no happy ending?
And for sure you don't have link to that story, to share with me?

It would be great if the art department didnt make all our decisions for us

Just a handful of 'IKEA catalogue' skin color options isnt good enough, as that Fazmarai guy has said, theres a whole swathe of this planet that isnt represented, get to it!

Also hair, please give us the entire color spectrum to play with. Dont make choices for us, we pay you money every month so that we can make our own.

COME AT ME BRO

I'LL JUST BE DOCKED IN THIS STATION

The height issue is explained pretty well here and here... and it's actually an interesting talk (it's from last year).

"So it's all about touching each other" :D

And what about the second thing: camera offset in Character Recustomization window for dual screens?

Well, to be honest, it's not high on the priority list... there are so many things we could and would want to work on if we had enough time, but hopefully we can take a look at that sometime.

T_T so I have to get used to being split on 2 screen :(

U're doing a lot of good stuff, so I understand. Hope someday you will fix that.
Problem is that there is always something with higher priority :] This is why you fix some things after 4-5 years :P

Some of the ship changes look good but a lot of them have had their great golden color turned to brown mud and the bright red dulled. See the Guardian. If you could have one of them take a peek at our threads and respond, would be greatStraight

I talked to the team working on the V3 project and they would like to ask you to post your feedback here: https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=108567

We need to keep forum threads focused so that both players and devs can easily find the relevant discussions. It's not efficient if all artists and programmers have to read all threads to find feedback on the areas they are working on. This thread is relevant to the artists and programmers working on the character creator, will be monitored by them and you will get relevant responses (such as the ones from CCP karkur), but the artists and programmers working on the V3 project will not monitor this thread since they are working on other things. They will read your feedback in the thread I linked above. I hope and trust you understand the reasons I've outlined.
