I would like a bit more diversity in black male hairstyles. Normally, just see afro when it comes to MMOs. Black women have a few more than the men do but are still kind of lacking.
I'm not asking for these to be locked for black characters just that they exist. I know this is a weird statement but when WoW added that one hairstyle that you see black women within media, it got weird.
Do you have more examples of hairstyles you'd like to see in Ashes of Creation?
I second this bonus bonus idea . It always feels refreshing and cared for when character customisation is given continuous love after launch.
I'm sure I read a quote somewhere that some customisation could be unlocked through quests too. I'd love to see this unlocking go with a barber shop.
Bonus Bonus you say 🤔🤔
This is probably not something the majority will care about but as a black person, I really enjoyed the quick section in the Character Creation video where I saw a style that actually would fit someone like myself. It's a bit of a minor thing, but I always get happier when I see it, and my friends who I showed Ashes to, joked that that made the game actually playable for us. More Afro-friendly hairstyles is all I ask. Dreads, Twists, Afros, Braids, Fades, Sponge Curls, etc all help the immersive experience for me
Appreciate the feedback here regarding afro-friendly hairstyles, and passing it along to the team.
While having a wide variety of hair styles is important, I think it's also important to have some "non-traditional" hair for certain races. For example, the Py'rai wiki picture is the female with long black hair that looks like normal human hair. I think it would be great if the Py'rai had options for hair using textures like moss or leaves instead. For other races, such as the Vek or Ren'kai, there could be an option for having horn or needle like hair. Even a bland "bald" hairstyle could have a lot of variety using different balding patterns and piercings.
Interesting! Do you have examples of hairstyles that you think would go with those races?
To reiterate with pictures:
Good beard with bleeding stubble
Bad Beard that looks like a piece of clothing in the form of hair
Appreciate the pictures for reference here! 🧔👍
With the emphasis this game and studio holds on community, do you guys ever plan on holding conventions?
We definitely want to spend time with our players, both in and out of game. While we don't have any announced plans for conventions, when the time comes we'll let everyone know. 😎
Will the next alpha playtest be in unreal engine 5?
That's the plan! We're developing Ashes of Creation, including the Alpha Two test build, in UE5. 🛠️
Hello glorious community,
