I just want to be able to shave my character’s arm pits so they can wear a sleeveless outfit! Being hairy and unkempt at the very start of the game makes sense, but not by the time you’re able to craft steel or starmetal.
We can craft refrigerators, swords from meteors, elevators, wear makeup, but no one has ever heard of a razor? I don’t recall any of the heroic women in Frank Frazetta or Boris Valejo’s artwork, nor any of the movies being so unkempt (nor many of the men for that matter). While I can see Cimmerian women going au naturale, I’m pretty sure the Stygians (being based off Egyptians) were known for shaving off all their body hair.
IMO, this should either be an option during character creation, and/or outfits that are from relevant religions, cultures (Stygian/Set, Lemurian/Derketo) should be tweaked to hide armpit hair when worn (e.g. Derketo, Set, Lemurian Royal/Warrior, Stygian Raider/Soldier, etc).
And no, suggesting the existing mods for this isn’t helpful to those of us who play on Officials, it just adds insult to injury.
There is a way to change your appearance on official servers. However it will require you to forfeit your level and feat points.
Have another player join a clan with you, making all your buildings belong to the clan. Select recreate character and redesign your character. After creation, go to your clan mate and join back up with the clan.
You will have to relevel, but you will have access to all of your surplus supplies.
This is only theoretical to me at this point. I have not created a clan or joined one. Anyone able to confirm or disprove this tactic?
Maybe in the futture we will have to craft a potion that will allow you change that. If you will need allot herbs to makit it will give you somtjing to do in late game maybe a du geon will give you the rwcipe and you will need to get the herbs. The posibilitis are endles in this game. The execution is the one that hold us back
Bear in mind that doing all the “avoidable” journey steps early is counterproductive - much better to get to (at least) lvl 30ish before doing them. Some can hardly be avoided - eat, drink, slay etc - but others (throw an orb, fire a trebuchet, get a boss head etc) can be easily postponed until you get more out of them.
In testlive the camera zoomed past the character and I was given my Steam name.
Also first time I created a character, single player, totally overlooked the naming bit. lol!
As an official player I’m actually leveling up an alt on a second account (I bought the Atlantean Sword, so I had an extra code), cuz I love the game enough to want to have an even prettier character.
It’s good to have a second account, in case I go on vacation again and can’t get the ping to connect. This way I can give the login to a friend and he can log on to refresh all the structures for me, without worrying about account theft (not that it will happen with the kind of friends I have, but it’s still good for the peace of mind when your suppose to be relaxing on vacation somewhere far away)
While levelling up the character it’s actually REALLLY satisfying killing stuff 40 levels higher, as a lvl 16, wielding a Teliths Sorrow, and wearing full flawless epic.
The full twink experience. I haven’t ever used a Camel before, because my main is encumbrance build, but as a noob you don’t really have a choice. I must say; Camels rock.
I applied my veteran knowledge to leveling up as a noob and all I can say is that the game is even better that way. I do what I normally do, like farming asagarth for steel and doing skeleton key runs. It’s all twice as fun because of the XP factor.
Camels are unusable unless you tell them to stand guard every 15 seconds. Mine stands so close to me that I can’t farm resources properly. Bearers are so much better
PS Hope they fix that blasted camel. Bought 2 of them before realising they are broken.
It would be cool to have that option. As long as you are not allowed to change your character´s name, that is. In Rust, they went full fascist with their policy of “all characters will be randomized and no one can ever change them in any way because we want characters to be visually recognizable blah blah blah,” which is some bull*hit, since many characters look almost the same and it´s not like you can stop an enemy player, get in his face and thoroughly analyze all his facial features each time you come across them before deciding whether you wanna kill them or not. Wait, what was I talking about? Oh yeah, let players change their appearance as they want (maybe just with the use of a potion, idk), and do not let them change their name, especially since in CE, the name is way more obvious than any character´s appearance.
Re: bearers, the change to Stone and Wood etc to stack up to 1000 instantly takes bearers from “kinda-sorta-maybe-not-really” worth it, to “pretty awesome”. All without effin’ up the balance elsewhere (they still weigh as much as 10 stacks of 100). Once it hits Live I might actually change out of my near-permanent encumbrance build!
