    when it comes to character creation I like it to have options like BDO did. they had preset options then you could go in depth from there, making it possible that most characters could be unique. I just hope it isn't like the boring slandered character creators that most mmorpg games do just a hand full of options and that's is little to no sliders with little to no differences when moved.

    If I am making a male character I want him to look cool and unique like a superhero or If I am making a female character aka "game waifu" as some may call it I want their umm "assets" to have a variety of sizes: boob, butt, legs waist, the works. cuz when I am staring at a character for a long time I want to be happy with how my character looks especially since I will be grinding for hours for days looking at the same character.

    before someone jumps on this post to burn me: you can call me shallow, at least I am honest. people get into games to escape the real world and its real life constraints.

    The age slider is a big one for me. I am 46 years old.. and sometimes playing these characters that look like a teenager or barely into their 20's kinda ruins it for me. I survive, but the attachment is not there.

    I tried BDO in the past and tbh, even though it gave really pretty results, it alway felt pretty hard for me to deviate from the base template.

    I don't need exceedingly in depth face deformations etc. But give me:

    - About 10-20 face types
    - At least 15 hairstyles and some natural looking, even if exotic colors (I hate metallic looking multicolored hair in mmos)
    - Lots of beards and moustaches and sideburns options
    - Height slider (with minimums and maximums dictated by your selected race)
    - 4 body types with a slider for shoulder-waist-belly width and torso-legs ratio
    - Slider for nose length
    - Slider for ear length and position for pointy eared races
    - Tusk options for orcs and Tulnar (Orcs in WoW really could have used different styles of tusks like Trolls got)
    - Each race should have something unique to them that they can customize

    I love to do old ugly caracters, but is rare the mmorpg you can, your caracter is always locked with beauty and yong standard option...

    They said they want to outdo BDO in terms of character customization so hopefully you will be able to look as ancient as you want.

    I'm a huge fan of BDO's character creator, but I did feel like a few sliders wouldn't let you go past the limits of an asian appearance.

    E.g. I tried creating my friend's face in the game, but his skull is taller than you can make in the game, so I either had to make the head have a tiny forehead or have his eyes well below his ear line.
    It made for a good laugh though.

    In a few other character creators, jawline options felt limited to a slider between: \/ or |_| or (_) - but I really like how sims 4 lets you adjust the height and protrusion of the jawbone corners.
    Also cheeckbones have been difficult to get right. Brow bones too. >:[
    The hardest part of customization has always been mouths for me, they either end up looking puckered or stretched, and only the default settings look relaxed.

    I really liked how BDO would let you shape eyes though, that was really good, and the ways you could customize haristyles in BDO was top notch!
    I wish I were deep and tragic

    Im not that old.. Id be willing to bet your wrinkle slider will be used on the plus side as well ... lol

    Aion, while not the best customization ever, had sliders that would go just about anywhere you want .. The first week after launch, omg, I have never laughed that hard over a video game since.

    If that's not worth a bet on your end I don't know what is, you'd be right.

    While not a multiplayer game, Crusader Kings III has a very versatile character creator, humans only, though.

    I usually build younger looking characters that appear fit. I too would like a lot of hair options with decent length customization and a lot of color options. A nice tattooing system would be cool, even though a lot of tattoos will likely be covered most of the time by armor/clothing.

    But, you still know they're there! :)

    As long as you won't be able to have purple skin, noodle legs and huge bodybuilder upper body with a yellow beard im happy.
    Anything that feels believable im happy with.
    But to answer the question. Im planning to play a werewolf looking tulnar, so something hairy and crooked.

    I currently plan for my main character to be a portly fellow with a beaming smile. Like a younger, chubbier version of Omid Djalili, rubbing his palms and selling used carpets in a Vaelune market. I hope that the sliders allow for a wide and short human build.

    Speaking of a XXX version of ashes...

    If they wanted to truly have a "Non-streamer" server. They could just make a server where nudity exists and is not toggleable.

    This is my personal feedback, shared to help the game thrive in its niche.
