Character creator in New World is a joke

    Character creation in this game is pure trash. No sliders. No body shape options. No specific feature options. (No eye shape options, nose etc. only face). Not even height options. 

    The males body shape is built like big bulky "jock bros". Ugly face options all around for them.

    The females look like men. Big bodied as well, no feminine faces at all.

    The same hairstyles for both genders. Not even any decent ones. Sad....

    Female characters can have beards. But that's ok, they appear so masculine they are basically a smaller male character with bolt ons.

    Sounds like you want to play low key as a female character. 

    I sometimes do play females. I tend to make female "casters" and male melees though that not a hard rule. 

    However this time I wanted a male melee guy but wasn't quite satisfied with the longer hair options so went with short hair.

    This was just posted a few minutes ago...

    "i'm having same problem, it started the when i playing the game but after uninstall the game still having my computer shutting down randomly... what should i do?"

    When was the last time anyone here uninstalled a game and still suffered computer problems because of the game you uninstalled?

    You can deny reality all you want amongst yourselves but DON'T claim I wrote things I never did.



    Umm, to me that actually kind of signifies that it's not an issue with the game.   Games ALWAYS stress PCs.   Without knowing what error code he is getting, it's kind of hard to know what the issue is.  Hard drive, Power supply, RAM....  Some kind of virus...



    Indeed.  When games push PC's hard it tends to make other unrelated issues come out, unrelated meaning it's not the games fault, the game just makes not so obvious issues stand out that you may not know it has due to only surfing the web.

    When you build a PC you are suppose to stress test it and keep an eye on it for various issues even after for awhile during normal use especially gaming since that often eventually makes missed issues come out.

    I read on reddit one guy his PC was shutting down when playing new world and it turns out his PSU was the issues cause even though it was  1k wat psu it was the problem and when he changed it no more shutting down....

    Agreed with op. All characters are of the same height, weight, animation sets regardless of age or gender. Char creation is one of the worst elements of New World. 

    No fate but what we make, so make me a ham sandwich please.

    What annoys me lots in the game beyond the char customization is no sprint and the jumping is asinine.....your character has a hard time to jump over a peddle at least that how it feels to me.

    New Worlds issue is that Menus has uncapped FPS and EVGA has an issue running sustained odd FPS.

    You open menus your GPU go full speed.

    It's an issue on EVGA part for sure, so much so it is issuing replacements - but, why code something like that for menus?

    And the cards burned to death b4 they patched the fix for the menu soooo....

    Yeah the cards shouldn't be burning themselves out cause a game has uncapped fps on the menu...lol

    That's asking the game makers to fix hardware issues that the gpu makers should be doing thus why it's on evga and why they are  replacing the cards....so.....

    Faces are something I am sure they can add to easily when they have time, I don't think faces impact on outfits anyway like hair can, so it is not a big ask. Talking of cosmetics, do they have a overlay system yet where you can be wearing a "game stat" set but overlay that with a visual set?

    yo  xD . Looks like a f'd up Oliver Tree.

    I thought it was funny cause that you can put beards and mustaches on female characters, which will lead to tons of hilarity. They should add character profile cards so people can write stories about their characters for others to read.


    I guess character creators are what you want out of them. I'm kinda in between being overwhelmed by some with hundreds of sliders and hating the "choose a head" creator. I so like games where people can share their avatars creations for download such as BDO.

    There is a fine detail here. To my understanding, Amazon should have capped the launcher anyway, in order to avoid wasting resources and/or triggering whatever failsafe the hardware was supposed to have there to not get lit up.

    But if EVGA's hardware was properly made, it would just be a bug on Amazon's side (i.e. the bug description would be "when NW is launched, GPU fan is going bonkers"), fixable like any other bug without causing the GPU to blow up. The critical part of this issue (GPU goes boom) is on EVGA, the rest is on Amazon.

    Olepi, apologies for still fuelling this off-topic tangent, I just cannot resist responding. :)
    That's the thing. In consoles that wouldn't happen cause there are tests to avoid it. Everyone who works on QA who saw the news said that. I forgot the QA term for it.

    I don't think that it's on Amazon, but their response was asinine at best.
    Consoles are much easier to test as their hardware is very standardized. PCs have always been a big challenge for software devs to test as the variability in customers hardware setups is huge.

    In the earliest days of PC gaming it was not uncomment for some games to only be validated to function on specific video cards, operating systems (PC-DOS) , Bios (Phoenix), specific brand (IBM compatible only) or some combination of them all.

    We used to joke you had to stand on one foot and face east while setting up a new game for the first time while editing config files and such.

    Its quite possible Amazon did test for such limits but didn't happen to have any EVGA cards installed at the time.

    Sure, they shouldn't burn all the CPU while in a menu, but even if they noticed from their viewpoint why would they really care, doesn't impact their games performance as played normally.

    I'm sure they didn't account for fact some players keep their characters permanently logged on even when it's discouraged to avoid waiting in long queues. 

    Wonder how many players whose cards bricked were doing exactly this when it happened.

    Hrrm, maybe they did know about it but left the defect in just to "punish" those who try to thwart the auto logoff.

     I am a retired electronics technician, I still fix my monitors, tv's, build my own PC's and build for others I know personally etc etc.

    This isn't on amazon, it on evga...no gpu should burn out cause some game dev was too stupid to cap menu fps...lmao.

    I mean sure it stupid on amazon to do this but its not their fault evga was even more stupid to produce a gpu that would burn itself out cause of such a lame bug lmao.

    Hell last time I saw this personally was in DDO. I had 2x xfx 5770 in xfire and was hitting like 300/400 fps in the menus but only like 120fps in the game and they didn't burn themselves out cause the menu was  capped so to speak.

    GPU's burning out cause uncapped menu is PURELY a gpu manufacturer problem period and design defect full stop.

    Especially since evga is suppose to be a top tier gpu maker something that synonymous with quality!



    What even funnier is my old arse msi gtx 760 plays this game on med/high and I left today for a 3 or 4 hrs and game auto logged me out to main menu...my gtx 760 didn't fry itself......

    Err, we don't disagree on what you say: fried GPUs are purely on EVGA, 100% agreed on that.

    What I say is that the bug on New World still remains (well, remained, they patched it). If EVGA did their job properly, or if the player was using another GPU, they still would get 100% GPU util on the menu and the fans would blow like crazy. That's still a (less severe) bug on Amazon's side. That's what I tried explaining in my previous posts. I am just separating the two issues.

    Not it still purely a gpu issue, my old ass gtx 760 does not go full fan BS crazy on the menu.

    This is a gpu issue and shoddy work on the gpu manufacturers side period. This kind of stupid has happened  many times in the past and it never fried cards before.

    Hell New World doesn't even fry old cards so how can anyone  think it's a amazon problem. Amazon tried to mitigate a gpu cheap QA issues and now everyone is wanting to put blame on them for what?  trying to fix an issue gpu makers should have never let out of QA?

    I am not amazon fan or evga fan etc etc I am saying this as a techy with years of experience...lol

    Its like saying bah my microwave blew up cause there was a surge in the power lines and it got hit with 130 volts instead of the usual 110/120 and blew up like a bomb.....and then blame my electric company......

    What about the faces, can you at least give yourself a different face and hair?

    3/4 of the male faces look like the result of what happens when cousins marry...

    The hair options are fine though.


    That is some deep XVI century immersion for you.

    i've played betas that had only 2 choices for character looks (appearances can be added easily later), lets get a stable game dropped at release and work on changing looks later. or would you rather have a toon who looks great , but your game lags and/or crashes every other day ?
  • laseritlaserit Member LegendaryPosts: 7,591
    There are so many aspects to a game that trump a robust character creator. Its a welcome addition to a game but a total waste of time if another more important aspect is lacking.

    imho

    No worries. Threads are like your kids. You do the best you can for them, and then you have to launch them out into the world. What happens after that is not up to you.
