Its funny, because that's exactly what you have to do to change your hairstyle.

Neat update though.


I'm putting in a formal request for Geralt of Rivia style haircuts for men.

Jorb, please!
Don't make me kill myself xD

Sell a "restyling token" that allows one to change their appearance for 5 dollars and I'll buy it!


Alternatively, killing yourself will do.

We're still considering reasonable ways to change haircuts as an ordinary in-game mechanic.

Craft a vanity, sit down at it with a chair then select the new hairstyle :?: :|

I say "reasonable" because I'm not entirely sure it should be all that simple.

Could you not reuse the same code from charter creation?

Make it one per supergrid.

Only make it useable at the end of a quest?

Of course it's not my decision or anything; but honestly I think that this is exactly the kind of thing that - being cosmetic - should be monetized somehow.
I mean, I'm saying that because I do care about this game - very much. I do not have access to all the info on store usage as you guys have, of course, but after the last world's ending message I'd rather see this kind of thing as monetization options other than some possible endeavours which I'm sure you two will do the best to avoid... but who knows? :P (I'm totally not looking at Salem's store) We're all being realistic here, I know you two want to deliver the best possible experience to us - your community - but yeah, the game must produce a good income as wel. It's important. And I think that monetizing purely cosmetic things (and give us options) will have better reactions than the inventory decision - even if not the same income, certainly the inventory decision was "rough" but it helped greatly. I know I subbed again, lol :D

It would be great to have an in-game way to do it, of course!
But if it's not that simple.... Why not offer the more $$$imple way? *wink wink* ;)

I mean - it is like that with Custom Imagery, isn't it? We can paint sketches or buy sketches...
I'd buy a restyling token; and I'm sure that as more and cooler hairstyles get added - or people get bored with their current styles - others would as well :)
