Re: Can we get some more skin tones
Adding skin colors but making players not able to choose them kind of ruins the point because few people would get char they want anyways.

I'm not sure that I have a strong argument against sketch colors - Jorb, November 2019

Re: Can we get some more skin tones
Thats why we only do it if skin colours being targeted becomes an issue.

You would just keep making characters until you get what you want... so no point in doing that.shubla wrote:Adding skin colors but making players not able to choose them kind of ruins the point because few people would get char they want anyways.
I worked on Rust because you can't do that, and you can't make a new account without buying the game again.

Re: Can we get some more skin tones
I don't personally intend to take advantage of the mechanic, I would still probably be pasty white. But if it's a simple fix for the engine and doesn't make a lot of dev work I support it.

Re: Can we get some more skin tones
No it wouldn't, because you can create more characters on that same account... So you would just keep making characters on that account until you get the color you wanted.Apocoreo wrote:So it would work on people with hats, tokens, verified account and subs?Kamekono wrote: I worked on Rust because you can't do that, and you can't make a new account without buying the game again.

Re: Can we get some more skin tones
I don't see why not, people are going to be shit to each other for whatever they can come up with.
We have different genders and hair styles, I can be talked down to for being a bald mofo or wearing an ugly hat. Even Valheim has a skin tone slider and that game's more mythos theme'd than Haven.

1 character appearance per account then, we can always go deeper.Kamekono wrote: No it wouldn't, because you can create more characters on that same account... So you would just keep making characters on that account until you get the color you wanted.
Were so deep in if's now, this convo's kinda meaningless now though. Just add the skin tones.

Re: Can we get some more skin tones
Then people would just keep creating new accounts until they get their desired physical appearance, and all you've accomplished is that people have to abandon their pre-existing account (with subs and hats) to get a skin color they want. I'm sure the playerbase will be pleased.Apocoreo wrote:1 character appearance per account then, we can always go deeper.Kamekono wrote: No it wouldn't, because you can create more characters on that same account...

Re: Can we get some more skin tones
Hats can be transferred, but you'd abandon a sub/verification because you character looked wrong? Wtf you're going to be wearing a bunch of mismatched BS like dhelms and Merchant's robes anyway. I mean I get people care what their character looks like but haven't met anyone till now that would care enough to waste money over it lol. Especially since this is a what if scenario IF race becomes a problem in this game lol.VDZ wrote: Then people would just keep creating new accounts until they get their desired physical appearance, and all you've accomplished is that people have to abandon their pre-existing account (with subs and hats) to get a skin color they want.
