Many players look alike

I'm assuming there's a default for new players "causing" this.  Couldn't there at least be a finite number of random possibilities?

I wouldn't use the word difficult, but it took some attention for the quest to give to new players when there were 6 of the "same guy" wandering the same street at the same time.

  • Agreed. We should definitely have a pool of a whole bunch of default avatars from which a few of them are randomly chosen and offered to new players.
    And we should also introduce avatar customizations earlier too by either suggesting it in some way or making an early quest of it.

    But then again, wearing the "newbie outfit" might encourage people to decide to get changed.
    Either way, we need to teach avatar customizations much better.

  • YAY!  For several days after the launch I thought I kept seeing the same guy running around who was changing his name every five minutes!  I thought I was going nuts (until I figured out that it was the default look.)  ;-D

  • I think we might have to initiate fashion interventions to teach the new glitches about the wonders of being well-dressed. This...might require a new group...hm...

  • A fun way I have seen it done is a dialogue when players first start a game that assigns totally random features,  that they can also tweak before 'accepting.'  New glitchies would start out with something completely random, see a bunch of possibilities and then pick one and do the final tweaks on it for their initial 'look.'  It would guarantee that no new players would start out with the same exact look.

    Yes! An "Avatar Customizer Lite" to begin with! Love it and I wish we do this.
