Feedback:User/Mashi.blankstare/On the Issue of Appearance

After the beta weekend, I must confess that I spent quite a bit of time in the Character customization screens. I was thinking, as GW came up with skill template codes; why not "Appearance Template Codes", and as I read in another suggestion, "Dye Scheme Template Codes"?

This is for people who took the time to tweak their characters' faces from the standard choices using the face option sliders... and would want to bring this character's appearance from beta into the live game for example. A user can create an appearance and have the option to save it into a appearance code. It may be like a really long text string just like the template codes in GW.

While we're on the subject of sliders, why not have the "Physique" section run on a set of sliders as well? I saw quite a few comments on how the human females were all anorexic and whatnot... a slider system will allow for more buxom figures on one end, and literal sticks on the other. You may have to limit how far a slider can tweak a body type, but it will certainly offer more choice than the currently limited physique choices.

Same goes for dye scheme codes: maybe some users want to look the same way regardless of what armour they have on. A dye scheme code will work just the same way, except that if you don't have the proper dyes in the proper quantities, the game will not be able to dye the armour just the way you want it.

AND finally, why not a GW2 character apperance generator app? It'll give people something to do while we wait for July. :)
