Permanent Character Alteration Concern(s)

[Tsugumori]

It would be nice to give all alpha players some type of character re-customization token upon beta/launch, but that's a topic for another day. lol

This kinda defeats the purpose though. I'd get giving out tokens for say 'one-time race changes' perhaps, seeing as some players may want to change their race at some point when the new ones come out, (not to mention if racial skills get implemented there might be some neat ones), but for the permanent skill choices? I don't think so. Of course some people may want to plan ahead, but I mean.. It's a game. Sure there's planning ahead for stuff like gear, quests etc.. But when that same way of thinking is applied to character building in an -open ended- game? Apples and oranges.

I don't think having the option to renounce druid or wolf makes sense. Some people do not like either and that's fair enough, they are open to choose whatever may come down the pipeline as they haven't opted for anything so they have a clean slate, so to speak. That's the point though really, what if some people didn't choose either because they were afraid it would affect their character in the future? Not to be the carefree rain cloud on parade day but seriously nobody needs that shit, even just typing it and reading it back is stressful enough, never mind going through that thought process.

- Choose Both
- Choose One
- Choose Neither

A, B, or C, simple as. Asking the question "But what if I choose one and it negatively affects me in the future?" - Cross that bridge when you come to it. I feel like this was taking 2+2 and making it = x.

As just sidebar stuff..


Lyco and druid aren't that punishing. Sure pro for pro and con for con = Lyco > Druid, wolf beats nature hands down in a contest of player jimmy rustling but even so it's not that bad. " [etc] [etc] [etc] [etc] -something about wolves not being able to play for 3 days of the month or some such even though they can [etc] [etc] [etc] [etc]."

To quote JonTron: " See it's all about perspective this whole 'life' thing. "Awh, I got stabbed with a sword.. but that guy got stabbed with two swords! Man, my life's not so bad." "

Some people view druid as one sword, and wolf as two, (If not three). This topic gets a bit repetitive since these two skills are the only ones currently under the banner of 'character influencing permanence' and we really do need more of them to make it a proper topic.
