My Hispanic looking character has evolved into a black guy. I'm probably going to have a better shot with Agent Kelso now but still, this is not the character I made to my likeness. Pls fix. Tnx.

Hey Vice061! Thanks for letting us know. We've seen this being reported from a few players and we are looking into this.

Glad to see a reply about this. Since there is no way to change your looks in the game, this is a pretty bad bug to get D:

That's not quite true. There's a barber in the White House once you recruit him during the campaign! Won't help with all cases, but you can change the look of your agent.

The issue people got isnt with the hair. BUt their very ethnicity, I doubt the barber change that

To clarify: Goldenkrow said "there is no way to change your looks in the game". I just wanted to point out that there is customization. But of course it doesn't fix the bug people are encountering.

Sorry if I brought more confusion to this, that wasn't my intention. Thanks for your feedback!

Why is this game breaking with every patch? Its been what two days of not being able to use certain skills...ya know a pretty MAJOR part of the core game...

I can't talk for the devs on that, but I know that game development is not easy and software can be quite fragile. So there are situations where a bug, even as major as the one with the skills not working properly, cannot be fixed quickly.

Applying a patch needs to be safe, otherwise you're just implementing further bugs into the game. It also has to be done first, so you need to find the exact cause of the issue, find a way to fix it in the code and so on.

We have people working on the weekend right now on a couple of these major issues, because we know it's super annoying to play like this. Thanks again for your patience and letting us know when something is broken.

Can you guys buff the barber for the time being and let us completely remake our agent from the ground up? I can't see any readily apparent issues with this and I really don't like how my agent looks currently.

Unfortunately that's not an easy task either, otherwise that would be a great suggestion!

While I'm not affected by this issue currently, I wanted to make a suggestion here Chris.

I'm not sure if there's technical hurdles that made you choose what can/can't be modified post-creation but given how attached people get to designs + wanting freedom, I'd love to see if you guys could allow us to modify: Face/Head/Eye color selections as part of the Barbershop as well.

It feels weird that only hair/tats are covered in the system especially if you folks make changes down the road that may affect the appearances. It's also would be nice to make adjustments since the lighting/chargen presentation can sometimes result in the in-game look not always lining up when you see it in action.

Just a request to forward if it's not too much trouble :)

Noted. Suggestions like these are definitely on the board, just be aware that some might be a little further out than others. If it's popular and doesn't break the game, I'm assured we'll at least consider it.

If it takes a long time it'll take a long time though and I just want to manage expectations. Especially features that had not been planned can be difficult to get out of the door, as they might require a lot of work.

Hi. Sorry to bother you, but in response to your comment/answer, does this mean that the stellar team at Massive aren’t working on any feature where we can re-customise our characters?

I would love to rework my character’s face using the sliders and also the skin colour. I would even pay for the privilege. Thank you.

Also, there are some chest armour pieces where the compartments clip through the agent’s forearm. Lastly, there are some gloves that clip through the skin texture of the wrist.

Edit: last paragraph.

From what I know, and this might be outdated info right now, we're currently not working on adding functionalities to the Barber. That being said, and I mentioned that in another comment, we don't see any reason why we wouldn't want to improve something the community want. Just keep in mind that some things take longer than others and obviously we need to prioritize things that are more important right now, e.g. game breaking bugs.
