Face and Body Customization Options

I'm just wondering if we're going to be lucky enough to get the ability to customize our characters to the same extent as in NCSoft's AION? Good gawd they have a lot of options that they can choose to morph individually, so why can't we?

I've also seen screenshots of the incredible variety of character designs/looks/sizes/morphs that Champions Online can create, so I'm thinking it might be a lucrative idea to look at additional morph customizations for CoH to not only help keep existing players, but to also attract more new players (though judging how good the CoH staff have become, they're probably already on top of this).

Well suggestions for improvements in sliders/options for those things have been continuously suggested for this game for years.

I'm sure our Devs will do their best to push the features of this game to its limits, but I think we have to be realistic enough to realize that there are going to be hard restrictions on what this game will ever be able to do. Whether we'll ever get options equal to those other games is hard to say.

Here's hoping of course.

I don't think the character models can support all those sliders, actually. Eventually I think they're gonna work on a new build method for the characters, but frankly with all the options we've already got, I'd rather just get some new skins and faces. I play the Sims for other stuff like custom faces

While a few more body sliders would be nice, I completely agree, the faces we have access to don't have enough detail in them to support all those facial details. I actually have to say, though, having worked with face editors of this kind (NOT in Aion), the faces they produce aren't all that diverse, and the items they get to put on these faces aren't quite as interesting as what we have, meaning there's less to get distorted.

I would say our facial sliders are plenty. I'd settle for more body sliders to control our musculature a little better.

I think our face sliders work well enough, but some more control over body build would be nice.

One thing I would really like to see in the faces is eye color selection. Its amazing how much personality you can give through eye color, and oftentimes there is a face I like but it doesn't have the eye color I want.

Dunno if this is really on topic, but I'm still holding out for a "Posture" option. something to allow you to make your character always hunched over like a Warwolf.

I think, we need different shaped noses. Once I tried to make black superhero, but there wasn't proper nose. Concave, flat, beaked, straight etc. It would give more personal appearance to our characters.

Still nose is wrong shape. Its not about texture, its actual shape. If you are played Age of Conan, you know what I mean.

edit. I mean sliders for nose curve or beak or different shapes.

Im sorry but I have to disagree.

Zombie, feral, demonic, argus and reptilian are only faces with different shape of noses. If you mean faces number 14, 15, etc. its only different shadows there. Those shadows makes very good effect but its not a real shape. I have character creation screen open right now. Yes there is some good faces but still I miss a good great beak nose

The "shape" of the nose SLIDER is a wedge. And no it doesn't look anything like "a nose"

However, given that it's 'using whatever we've got' there ARE some ways to really make a great looking character.

Black was only example. I looked more sliders for nose. Any type of different noses.
