Add more readily available high fidelity heads

We will file suggestions here that did not make the cut. Don't expect detailed responses, but the most common reasons are:

  • implementing the suggestion is impractical, or too much work for the gain
  • the suggestion is thematically against our design philosophy
  • the suggestion is too detailed/low-level
    Keep your suggestions broad and focused on RP benefits, please, not detailed suggestions of how to tweak X class.

Add more readily available high fidelity heads

Post by Beary Nice » Mon Jul 10, 2023 5:58 pm

With the introduction of all of the recent high definition creature, fixture, and even armor models being added, I feel as if it is a good time to suggest this. There are a plethora of heads available on NWVault that are higher definition than what we have to work with presently; some of them we use currently are from these packs, but have been lowered to something that fitted the aesthetic more at the time.

However, now, I feel as if it would not be out of place any more to introduce some more HD options. Most people gravitate to these anyway; it is rare that you see people picking the vanilla heads. It leads to feeling as if your character is not quite so unique in a crowd of the same head model five times over, because it simply looks the best. Some of our heads have had revamps lately - new noses, a wide variety of modified models for gnomes, dwarves, etc. - and they are greatly appreciated and bring a lot more variety to characters visually.

I am suggesting too that it could be allowed for us to adjust eye color and lip color with the tattoo channels, as other servers - there is nothing stopping people from stating what color their eyes and lips are in their description, certainly - but I feel as if WYSIWYG would help a lot with disguises, etc. and a general feeling that your character looks a certain way.

Thank you for your time.
