So is this a confirmation that more player customization is on the roadmap? Obviously there are priorities, but knowing that this is actually a feature the team wants to introduce and not just something to be said would go a long way.
Totally understand the shifting priorities and costs associated with this level of change, but it'd be awesome to see more customization and personalization of characters beyond a mechanical aspect. It helps drive a connection to the character and can encourage players to keep playing a character and improving them.
This is one of those "someday" features. We do eventually want to add it. It's not "on the roadmap" so to speak. We don't have any specific plans at all regarding it. We've gotten as far as:
"Hey should we have character customization?"
"Yea but it'll take way to long to do now."
"Ok, yea, someday then."
Literally nothing else has been done about it at all in any way. I don't expect it to be even mentioned internally at all until post 1.0.
I do expect it to come at some point but it's so far out that it's not even been prioritized.
