Revamp old hairstyles.

ugysekell

Sorry if this was suggested before, I didn't find anything like this.

Short topic is short: I think the old hairstyles (non-TB hairstyles) should be revamped because they look kind of "plastic" and outdated compared to the "wigs" and the modern Tideborn hairstyles.

That's all I wanted, thanks for reading, feel free to post if you agree.

Edit:
Some screenies about problems I found (female hairstyles):

But I like my jar-ful-of-gell-hairstyle b:sad

Do you remember the bald glitch? All of the sudden it started happeneing to the fanciest female hair style available.

Shortly thereafter the hairstyle was removed from the game. Then after that, new hairstyles were introduced into the cash shop.

Is this poll really a good use of time?

basically ditto; i think of it as "I agree, this post is amazing, I +1 it."
But yes. I think the old hair styles should be remade. I mean, sure, let's keep the style of it, but can we atleast make it move a little?
I'm sick of my hair going into my char's shoulder; it looks painful.
But honestly, the hair is not enough to make me stop playing, so I don't really mind if it stays this way forever.

Archalt - Sanctuary

lol, I also won't stop playing if they don't revamp them. =P But yeah, I agree with it.
And I hate it when the hair disappears in the body, I can only use short hairstyles because of this... Unfortunately, it is a problem in almost all MMOs and video games.

Agreeing with most of the people here, good suggestion, wonder if dev's ever fix this someday...

ugysekell

I'm glad most of you agree. (: I hope PWE will consider it, too.

Luniko - Sanctuary

Only good thing about TB is their hair. I hope we'll get a revamp eventually.

Santacruz - Heavens Tear

they wont do anything unless it makes them money at the end of it so don't get your hopes up sorry.

YordaUjain - Dreamweaver

bump. I did actually send an email to bejing on this matter and got no reply.

/Gohan - Dreamweaver6

While they are revamping(if they do it) they should allow all races to use all hairstyles, I mean lots of people are doing that anyways and getting banned for it, you guys are losing customers there >.>

Firesong - Dreamweaver

So long as the original hairstyles aren't DRASTICALLY changed. I finally deleted my BM because I couldn't stand to look at her after the last hair issue. Now I can't stand to play a BM anymore. Forget revamping and bring back the old wavy hair.

I think the OP is just asking for a graphical upgrade.

Firesong - Dreamweaver

Most likely--but that doesn't mean I trust that a "graphical update" wouldn't somehow end up as "let's scrap it and put random new hair in the shop."

Though it would be very nice to be able to have long hair that doesn't double as a razor. I'll give them that.

I was hoping more a long the lines of movement, i.e. Hair moves in the wind or when running, flying etc.. It is simple animation and wouldn't be too hard to implant at all, actually games going back as old as 10 years have moving hair. I don't care how they do it just as long as it moves. Straw hair looks horrible, the only question is will the devs consider this? *cough* lazy *cough*. Not only that but the gaming industry is becoming more depth, "hair" is a pretty basic thing and really would make the game look a lot better maybe even attract a few more gamers to try out this game.

Noooo! please No,

They changed one hairstyle recently after the TB patch.
They did a crappy job as always then took 3 months of reassuring everyone they "will fix it" and come back later telling a single person it's not a glitch and they won't fix it. (Meanwhile we got a make-over scroll we weren't allowed to use before we were told it was ok, and if we would use it we wouldn't get another.) And the only way we found out they were never going to fix it was through the forum where the message from customer support to a player was posted ( customer support probably wasn't supposed to have said it to the customer, but they did ).
The next week wigs were introduced. Coincidence?

So no,...
Don't change a single thing. These people shouldn't touch it at all... They are good at **** things up and finding ways to cheat and charge players for all kinds of stuff, that's about it. Better yet, maybe most of them should just go home, making it a lot cheaper to run the game.
PWI employes lots of people to run or create 7 to 9 games, of which PWI takes the least effort since it's already finished and running while bringing the most revenu, since it has the most active players. Let all these people fidget on the games that are still being created and if it works there, then maybe bring the idea to PWI after working out the kinks in the beta-versions of the other games.

Asking them to change the hairstyle you picked will give them the opportunity to turn your head into a turnip because in China, the orient, Japan, or anywhere else these developers come from, it may be considered aestetically pleasing. Whatever you have choosen as your hairstyle previously becomes instantly irrelavent, and you most likely don't get a choice to fix your hair unless you are willing to empty your pockets.

So no, definately no, ...
It may be necessary to change it, but letting them do it, is like giving scissors to a chimp and requesting a new hairdo... You most likely end up with **** on your head, or worse.

It's the sad consequence of a F2P game. To make more money, the strategy is not to expand the size of the player base ( as in P2P, where there is a fixed price), but to get more money from each player, because increasing the player base is an investment and costs money. maybe they should just offer a P2P option where you get your bonus stuff automatically and leave the option F2P for the rest of the players.

As a sidenote: The one thing that makes PWI special is the possibility to fly way way up in the sky and jump really high and do all these other things that no other MMORPG has... You would think that PWI would have figured out that this might be a selling point ( an actual original idea) , but for some reason they don't implement it into their other games. They rather copy other games, which I won't mention here and get ideas from very obvious locations, which I'll also won't mention. This company needs some vision and needs to fire some bussiness school people with pie charts ...

Maybe they should try and play their own games more...
Just a suggestion
