main complaints:

spinny dials are irritating to use. The sliders of the original creator were much easier to use.

Takes too long to render images, meaning you can't quickly flip through options to experiment, it takes hours to find one you like.

Not enough options, on anything, at all. No skin colour options, no visors, not enough funky hair colours, not enough hairstyles (maybe keep current styles but allow hair sculpting? not enough clothing options

not enough differentiation between bloodlines, they all look rather similar.

Sculpting is a pain in the ass, you can't tell what changing things will do or how they can be moved, also there are gaps where you should be able to sculpt, the biggest issue is between the chin and the jawbone, there should be something to move, because as it stands, there's this unnatural looking hole there unless you're very very very careful with it, you get that weird sunken Michael Jackson look.

No option to make characters blind

lame backgrounds are lame, the old ones were better then this, just give us those.

Not enough lighting options.


I know its a work in progress but overall I'm thoroughly unimpressed at this point.

Nikita, it's faiiirllly obvious this is VERY VERY basic.

In complete opposition, I'm amazing. The scuplting is fantastic, you can alter chest, abdomen, arms, legs...I didn't even bother touching the face stuff yet. (EDIT: It's amazing, but I lol'd real hard at that typo so kept it there)

You can even set weight, and yes, you can play a fat capsuleer!

Amarr and Khanid males still look old. Jin-Mei can be young. There are age settings but even on the youngest, Amarr/Khanid are still somewhat aged.

Caught Jin-Mei and Achur female looking sameish...I am happy with what I will be able to produce for Seri.

Can change hair colour for women but not for men yet

Guys, this is not even a beta test. It's the first day of many weeks of incremental improvements to the system, and you're complaining?

Jesus, give CCP a break.

This is really an alpha, not even beta yet. I personally can't judge it based on not having enough backgrounds and such yet.

However, I strongly suggest posting your feedback where the devs can see it. If they don't hear us, it's our fault. :)

Is it possible for a female character to have one large boob, and one small boob?

This is critically important.

Or three boobs, like in Total Recall?

Here's my first pass (no pun intended... okay maybe it was) at Kyoko:

For the second or third sprint this release cycle, this is actually pretty impressive. The UI, even though it needs ironing out, is built on a decent foundation.

I can't wait for the goofy screencaps to ensue. Some of the poses are just downright silly.

I'm broadcasting at http://livestream.com/darkdust. The FPS is atrocious, even on the local client, but not worried about that just yet.

bah, why does all the long hair make her look vaguely asiatic? bah. bah. bah.


eventually I got something pretty cute though:



still mourning the wild funky gallentean hair and visors. I want it too look ACTUALLY messy, not "styled messy"

I havent messed around with it very much yet, but the only complaint I have so far is the dials. I just dont really like em that much. Im kinda dissapointed that theres no robes for Amarr and Khanid characters, but I'd say that will be added later I hope.

I hate to say it, but the skins lack any great deal of customizability.

I'm sure hair/clothes/etc will help this, but....

And Graelyn is still horrifyingly ugly.

I'll save the re-creation of my char's to when it's all done and ready. By that time, I'm sure some decent hairstyles have been added.
