This was apparently a graphic / stability fix, not a class update ect. Can't wait to see the new changes on the next patch
A glitch with reroll that someone was talking to me about was that when he rerolled his ability to have higher CON, after he got back into the game he wasn't getting any kind of bonus from CON at all, and had less hitpoints then before he rolled and had a lower CON level.

I was going to test that, but I apparently can't reroll any of my characters to do so .
BUG
After race reroll.
sometimes game stops at retriving character and exits with timeout at log in. And reroll cancels.
First reroll was fine. Second reroll - of even other char - fails. Could not reroll at all.
Does the extra preset that has your current appearance not keep the old one? It uses the updated version of it?
This is what my character looks like right now on live (old hairstyle)
and these are the preset options I have to choose from
Your current appearance doesn't show up if you're changing races, not sure if its intended or not but I'd like to be able to keep my current look with a new race.
If I try and reroll my character as an elf again, his current look show up on the presets but I was using an old hairstyle that was removed in mod three and it doesn't show up on the character like I hope it would

Nope, it does exactly what the Tower of Alteration does. The preset *is* the same proportion slider/options, inasmuch as those options still exist(My eyebrows no longer exist thus they default to bushy ones), but with the new models. The change happens the moment you load to the race select, even there it shows you with the new post-Mod 3 models. Here, let me get some screenshots:
A fresh copy of my character:
Original appearance.
The race select screen:
Note the Mod 3 appearance. He looks extra-hideous because pre-Mod 3 slider settings are not really compatible with Mod 3 face meshes in general and defaults look horrible. Also defaults for some reason to bushy-as-heck Mod 3 eyebrows as the originals are no longer extant. (Also this strips dyes/transmutes, but that's only in this interface and once back in-game post reroll your transmutes/dye are intact.)
(Skipping stat roll screen, irrelevant to topic at hand)
The Appearance Presets screen:
Now, this part is interesting. If you open that in another window so you can see it full-size and not shrunk by the forum, if you look closely, the preset portrait is actually the correct original appearance. However, the figure to the left is very clearly not. I will not click customize here and will simply continue to avoid possibly triggering anything that might force new appearances where it might not otherwise stick.
Still the Mod3 appearance. (Image not in-line due to image limits, plus it's not really that interesting anyway.)
Back to character select:
As you can see, the Mod 3 appearance was carried through. And he now really needs a trip to the Tower of Alteration, because those eyebrows and proportions are horrid.
So, yeah. It's... Kind of there? I mean, it is using the same selections and slider settings, but defaulting to Mod 3 items where the original no longer exists, and that appearance preset portrait is right, but the results are... Not quite what we were hoping for.

Did you change character name the first time but not the other times?
When are the latest changes to CW's going to the preview shard? As it stands now, my renegade is dead and a thaum does half the damage my renegade does on live. Both are unacceptable. I am eager to test the changes and decide whether to continue investing any more time into my Wizard. Update please.

This update is primarily to test some performance and stability changes in a more live and busy environment. There is still currently a planned update for later this week that will have other gameplay and polish fixes.
Also, it looks like we will be unable to support keeping old appearances pre module 3 nor can it keep the same appearance between different races since their character data is setup very different despite sharing a some hairstyles and tattoos. This is currently a tech limitation.
This is great news Panderus. Looking forward to digging into this build as soon as the server is back up. Just 7 more days before the big push. OMG I got do all this again...haha...I must enjoy...well no matter
Now please get the patch notes posted...so we can start nit-piking..ahem I mean testing.

Aww. I was hoping a fix could be found. No chance of maybe somehow enabling a toggle for the old customization to just load those things instead, like basically having a customize and a legacy customize(Well, probably too much work)? Or passing along the idea of just a stat reroll as an item?

If you characters appearance is based on items removed from character creation when they released mod 3 a reroll will not allow you to keep the appearance even if same race (those items no longer exist in the creator data). No matter what changing race will not allow for a preset to be stored even if post mod 3 items used.

I was rerolling first time - just a power points. Worked. Second time - rename and race. Failed. Tried on a different copy of original one - does not work at all .Even powers rolls only. Same for different character. So for now - only one first successful re-roll for account.
My HR was on the third leg of the Ebon Downs quest, and after the most recent patch she has only completed the first leg of the graveyard quests. Was part of that patch a mini-rollback?
lol what is happening on preview? I just logged in and got another 1026MB patch but no patch notes are posted ,is this just happening to me or anybody else?
But wont Allow you more than seeing it unless you have purchased it
IS this a bug ?
It's been like that since before yesterdays patch , you can choose the race and mess about with how it looks but cannot continue to class selection , pressing the continue button send you to the purchase page.

Ok, one thing in the current Preview Status: Server no longer requires you to sit down and wait for the cooldown for 15 Seconds when you change characters.

Same here, I'm swapping Elf Races and I hate being forced onto the new face/bodies introduced in Mod 3.

Take from the OP in this thread -
So either tonight or tomorrow probably.

what exactly does this all mean?
You have to update your appearance to the new setup, you can't keep the old stuff.
If you characters appearance is based on items removed from character creation when they released mod 3 a reroll will not allow you to keep the appearance even if same race (those items no longer exist in the creator data). No matter what changing race will not allow for a preset to be stored even if post mod 3 items used.
