The Character Creator is targeted to be given to users prior to launch. The goal of this, from my understanding, is to enable a great day 1 experience where the user is fully prepared to jump into Terra and start playing the game.
To achieve that goal there are more pre-gaming work needed. In last months live stream showing off combat Steven discussed how there will be settings for adjusting the numbers and look-and-feel of the game UI. I'm wondering if these too could be a pre-day 1 option alongside the Character Creator. This would enable players to jump into Verra with their UI setup for streaming (meshes well with overlays), their audio/video tuned how they like, and any other options Intrepid is able to expose.
I hate to add work to Intrepid's plate and I'd easily sacrifice this for a better game delivered sooner but if their goal is truly to fully prep players for day 1 login and go then more may be needed. I mentioned this on the discord and was encouraged to share this idea here on the forums for discussion.

In fact, I would like them to take it a step further and combine that with the standalone character creator, AND add in a benchmark too.
A benchmark tool could help them gather data.
No need for a benchmark, there is Alpha 2 and Betas already
Sounds handy.
If the game is looking to be slow progression, like a month or 2 to work on a character, id like to know what class i actually want to invest in on launch.
Wont be an issue for most with the alpha acesses, and i guess you could just watch alpha and beta game play as well.... but i mean if we are talking about preping everyone for their exact character and setting prelaunch....
