Character Creation - STOP MOVING YOUR HEAD RAARGH!

SystemSystem Member, NoReporting Posts: 178,019 Arc User
As you can tell by the frustration in the title: it's veeeeeery frustrating that the head keeps moving to the sides the whole time. I'm trying to get something just right, like placement of a scar, or the nostril size, or whatever, and then the head moves to the side again and I can't see!
I know, it's only a silly minor thing, but it has frustrated me for hours now: everytime I'm tweaking the face, it takes so long, and then I get kicked out of the server again, having to start all over again. I'm saving every couple of minutes now, but gawd, pleasr just make the character head less twitchy!

Thanks :)

    If you move a couple of pages forward in the creator and choose a more static pose, then return to the face customizer, that helps a bit.

    But I think there really should be a "stop your twitching and stand in attention like the Starfleet Officer you're supposed to be" button. Very fustrating trying to get a scar just in the right place when the head spins like the character was possessed.

    /signed, at first it looks nice, but after a minute begins to get annoying.

    Animation while in game = GOOD!

    Animation when I'm trying to customize your features = BAD!

    Animations while designing your avatar are annoying beyond belief.

    oh, definatly /signed

    And while you are at it, please fix whatever you have done to the ship customizer. I grap to spi it round with the mouse and everything is fine at first, then it freaks out and snaps to something upside down, facing away and stuff like that, positioning to see that design i am putting on my nacells ow what the windows look like is becoming a pain too!

    This is defiantly needed. Maybe a toggle to freeze the animation?

    HA... I had to keep adjusting my avatar to put it in line with the feature I was trying to adjust because of this. In all it added about 10 minutes to my character creation process in re-adjustments alone.

    /signed and /signed again :D

    Also it would be nice if you could zoom in on the head while editing (unless you can, in which case; how do you do it?)

    Thank you! That's going to make things much easier when I re-create my character tomorrow (cause he's a joined Trill)

    in the past, err beta there was a robot stance which was the most static and ideal for character building but for some reason they removed it

    just give us a static stance for char building or the option to turn of animations while building our chars
