Character customization- not a lot on launch

[Seweryn]

You have no idea how computers work, do you? :P

I know I have been playing games on pc since 1992.
But back to your answer, I have the same framerate in ogrimmar which is 52 no matter what graphic setting I choose. I choosen the lowest settings and it is 55 and the highest and it was 55 so the fps drop is due to lag and nothing else.
Futhermore I haven't noticed any longer loading times of my games despite armor that I am wearing. That works since baldur's gate,gothic series 1-4, two worlds 1 and 2, da: o and etc.
I haven't a delay due to where I am and what progress I have made.
Of course in game like oblivion when I had more then 7 GB of mods the game loads longer but that happends ONLY when I run the application and NOT when loading a game.

So truly your argument is not valid so I can guarantee that I played more games that you since I spend few summer vactions on playing games only on my pc.
So I would I have more experience with games then you.

Cheers,

Heh...you really have no idea how it works

Frame rate has nothing to do with their servers. It's about your graphic card making you see things your game client wants you to. Those things are already "loaded" in your "ram" from your "harddisk" which contains that 40gbs of swtor client. All those processes has -nothing- to do with what i'm talking about. Also making lowest highest settings on your graphics wont change anything it's all about YOUR graphic card, effects no one but your gameplay.

And transfering datas from web isnt carrying colorful boxes dude more customization just means more data simple as that.

Playing games through summer "vactions" only may make you some kind of "knowledgable" about contents of those games not what we re talking about... your post is like those cat pictures... I'm wearing a hat - your argument is invalid! Lol...

Now people may say that they notice data transfer while playing wow was minimal but i remind you blizzard refused to lower gcd just becouse of this problem i explained. So yes it is a big deal.

EDIT: "Futhermore I haven't noticed any longer loading times of my games despite armor that I am wearing." I just accually read this... OMG! I hope you were trolling

I don't think it will hurt that much.

I love to customize my characters but I bet they'll had enough customization at start to create an almost unique character. Besides, with so many story and gameplay time, I really don't care lol. Just let me create a character almost similar to me and I'll be happy

[Doriath]

Not at all, the unique class stories+ the ~200 hour of gameplay to develop your char will be more then enough for ppl. Also with the available modifications to weapons and armor you will have more options to look different then in WoW.

This is true,but i dont want my character looking to plain or ugly at launch and then when ive put alot of time in him,they release new crap that makes me want to reroll.

Hopefully any future changes to character modification will be made available for existing characters also. It would be the smart thing to do.

I've seen it, it's better than what WoW has from what i remember.

That was just an example, since you are saying that larger amount of customization options will cause problems with data transfers.

Since I was playing lotro and it had around 20 choices of hairstyles and other things and I didn't noticed any problems there so.

Ok, I don't have time to this now, have to go out.

We will argue about it later.

And most of us say that having an 50 different freckle patterns isn't a top concern at all. I don't need 500 different facial expressions, 200 body types, 200 eye patches for a mirkula(or w/e they are), or 150 lekku combination. It isn't important, at all. At most I want to have enough customization to make my guy not look like an idiot because to me the level of hyper customization you enjoy is a waste and not at all important to me in a game. I want powerful stories and game play not to spend 2 hours play dress up/barbie before I play the game.

and who told you that you are forced to spend 200 hours?I really don't understand why people are against for an option they are not forced to use..the only thing come to my mind is that because you cannot bother to make a unique character and you are ok to play a generic character, you don't want other people have the option to create a really awesome and unique character...you don't like 200 options?hit random and play the game, simple...

some other say : "I prefer to spent their time to make awesome looking armors and weapons instead of spend their time to make character customization more detailed". why the one option kill the other can you explain please?Aion has the most detailed character customization and the most beautiful and detailed armor and weapon skins.so your statement are faulse..also aion have great gameplay (combat) and great dungeons..the reason this game failed is the grind fest and the "forced" pvp...

they are billion dollar companies and they make an MMO they advertise so much, you cannot say "better suck on this so they can make good this.."
