Vitas Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 (edited) They've said whilst they may include it in the future, it's currently not one of their top priorities. Edited February 7, 2013 by Vitas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JediMB Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 When they get to implementing it, or maybe even earlier, I hope we'll also get some new hairdos and hair colors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirMannii Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 At the same time they intoduce the barbers on every man's ship, I hope they will release 6 new Operations so there'll be more to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nogoer Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 seriously, you're that concerned about a barber in game that you had to bump your own thread?!? Go back to WOW if you need a barber shop that bad. then you can punch cuddly pandas instead. Really, barbers aren't even on the normal TOR players low priority list. Dang kids.

Caelith Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Would be nice to see it added. More than once I have rerolled a character because the hair annoyed me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeweledleah Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 (edited) it took Blizzard 4 years before they added barbershops and it was part of major expansion. while ability to change my character's appearance would be fantastic (I'm especially interested in scars, though makeup and hair would be good too), i completely understand why its low on their list of priorities. I'd rather they focus on actual content, whatever it may entail. Edited February 9, 2013 by Jeweledleah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zataos Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Bioware, I believe has resisted putting this in game because of some idiotic thought that it will take away from leveling alts, I don't remember the exact quote but that's what I took away from it when there was a response early in the games launch. I can tell you, Bioware, with 100% certainty that people are more likely to spend more time on a character if they like its appearance, and I also know that people make mistakes or aren't happy with how their toons look midway through and are unwilling to start over.

KariTalRathe Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 (edited) The thread title has had me chuckling since I first read it. Guessing the 'jump to light speed' crash that kills 25% of the playerbase has passed the OP by. If we ever get a barber in game, you can bet he will be inspired by the infamous Sweeney Todd Edited February 9, 2013 by KariTalRathe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sumuji Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 You might as well have WoW stamped on your forehead. It's not a standard game feature nor is it something even remotely needed. Would be nice for fluff but fluff is fluff and should never take priority over actual meaningfull content. You need some fluff for a side attraction but I don't see how a barber would provide hours of entertainment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need some fluff for a side attraction but I don't see how a barber would provide hours of entertainment. Actually it is a standard feature for many mmos and also a highly requested feature when new games come out. It has nothing to do with WoW. It has been asked for many times going all the way back to Beta. So relax, get your troll buddies, and stop being so nasty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need some fluff for a side attraction but I don't see how a barber would provide hours of entertainment. SWG had a whole player profession dedicated to change the looks and stats of player characters (not just face and hair, but also height, weight, muscle, skin/hair/eye color). Basically everything you could adjust at character creation, plus additional options the more skill boxes you had in it. So, it's got nothing to do with WoW. SWG came out in 2003, WoW in 2004.

Nicolettexiv Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 (edited) Guild Wars 2 recently added a feature to change your character's appearance, but it's something purchased through the Black Lion Trading Company (their version of the Cartel Market). I imagine if BW implements this, it will be in a similar fashion, wherein you purchase a one-time appearance kit, and it's basically the character creation screen/options, in a modified in-game UI. However, this is obviously not a high priority issue, as they're pushing new and revisited content at the moment. Edit: Not that I disagree with you, I've re-rolled because of my character's appearance before as well.

saremun Posted February 9, 2013 Author Share Posted February 9, 2013 just for people who say " WOW or what ever game added them after 4 years etc.." why on earth do you compare it to something worse? why not better? why don't SWTOR be the better MMO and add it earlier?

I don't know about others (and I don't know if I could call WoW objectively worse - its a different game but I personally brought it up, because it took a major developer with high budget this long to implement a feature. so I don't expect bioware to prioritize it over playable content. they know players want it. its on their agenda... eventually.

Ayradyss Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Lotro has it too, just saying... Yeah, and every game ever made by Cryptic, IE City of Heroes/Villains, Champions Online, Star Trek Online -- it's hardly a WoW exclusive, or exclusive at all.
