Elyos female idle anim leaves you grinning like The Joker?

[Enyo]

Yeah, the same thing has been bugging me with my female Elyos. It isn't just you ^_^

[AbaddonX]

Id actualy post one of my chars smiling but then people might copy the face,and I dont want that ,anyway I usualy set the slider either slightly to the left or right of the middle possition on all of my chars.

Oh yeah,it might be the lips,actualy most likely the lips,the shape etc.

[Exclamator]

I don't know, I think the smile is more cute than creepy. I know I make that smile sometimes.

[Nightlily]

yeah - i wouldn't post my final slder positions - at the moment everything is just a test from classes to creation. I want to make sure that i can hit the ground running when the headstart comes

[Vabjekf]

I notice that some faces do this more than others, you may try changing the mouth shape and make it slightly smaller.

I managed to almost totaly remove it back when i was into making an ely. I eventually changed to asmo for their superior character creation (better faces, better facial decorations, etc)

Actually ive noticed that face 17 of the ely doesnt do this hardly at all, and if you mess with the facial sliders enough you can make that face look less mean by adjusting the brow and ratios and such.

Also notice the skin and hair color are different in game.

People make fun of me for spending days getting characters looking just right, they dont understand it involves going in game and viewing the character from different angles and in different lighting, then making adjustments based on that.

Maybe now people wont make fun of me for my tracing paper slider technique =x

I thought I was doing something wrong with my smile. I see now that it's something wrong with the game. I am not satisfy with any of my characters' smile. -_-

If those are the same characters how did you change skin tone and hair style?

Well hair style is simple to change obviously i just did it before i left the customizer. The skin tone is the same actually, its just that the lighting is different in the customizer to the sun-bleached skies of the Elyos starter zone

Asmos have a lighter skin color too, and their starting zone is not bright. Skin color is just lighter in game than in creation, so is hair color.

You have to go into the game and test these things to get a real idea.

Generally speaking i find that if you have a skin color you are happy with in the character creation screen, lowering the circle one circles-width makes it fairly close in game (so the top of the new circle is touching where the bottom of the old circle was)

I also find that it is impossible to get the pre-generated color options (the ones in the circles above the color selection areas) by using the color selection area themselves. Some may be, but there are certain ones that i just cant get no matter how hard i try, and i spend hours in the character creation screen so you know i try =P

This is the thing i hate about sliders and all this crap, ive yet to find a game where the character creation screen is actually accurate in game. I wish they would just have pre-generated faces and colors for us to chose from so tiny variances dont end up making huge differences in game. (the ones they do have dont count since they are just made with the character creation screen themselves.)

You sound like me

I am the kind of player that will delete a chara with 10+ hours on it just because i hate (or become to hate) something about myself. Thanks for the tips, i'll have a mess about when i next log in. Im actually spending more time in the customizer this beta than playing!

I can't believe that when most MMO fans have been crying out for better customizer options you still get people that are very dismissive about it.

Weird,my skin color and hair color in the char screen is exactly the same ingame ... are you sure it isnt something on your side?

Are you male?

Did you pick the colors from the big pre-defined circles or did you use the color selector?

I have a theory that the color selector is not accurate and the pre-defined ones are..

Or you could just not be as obsessive as we are, i notice little things 0_0 a blue asmo is still a blue asmo, but my blue asmo was slightly darker blue in the character creation screen!

Err yes im male ... but my RL gender doesnt realy have much to do with the skin colors ingame.

However ive made both female and male elyos and asmodian chars and they have the same skin color.Remember that in the creation screen you dont have all those weather,day/night effects casted on you.It might seem slighty different,but all my chars turned out great skin color wise.

P.S Im abit obsesive of how my char looks and it's name is in every game and MMO,soo im in the same boat as you,I cant even count the times I remade a char just because I didnt like 1 realy small slight detail in the name or apearence.

[beonka]

haha its mostly an Elyos thing... One of the reasons I hate the class... Stupid-huge-grin-while-just-standing-there. Grr


Asmodians grin too.. but it's more subtle.
