No Customizing Imported Characters + Character Creation Timestamp = WE NEED CHARACTER RECUSTOMISATION

Okay, putting my foot down. This is something we've been asking for since 2014 and it's still not here. When we made our initial characters in D1, we couldn't turn our heads around, which meant more often than not that our haircuts looked atrocious when viewed from the back. I would have erased the character and started over, but by the time it became too much to bear, I had already progressed to the point where doing it all over again just for a new haircut simply wouldn't be worth it. So I asked, and waited, and so did many others. It's such a basic feature that doesn't seem like it would've taken a lot of time or effort to implement (considering the fact that there is already a fully functional character creation system in the game), and yet it never arrived. Destiny 2 was announced, and we were told that we could import our characters, along with their potentially crappy haircuts and tattoos. However, for imported characters, we wouldn't be allowed to change ANYTHING. That haircut my Hunter's been stuck with for 3 years? He still can't get rid of it, even though in the real world, a 30 minute trip to the barbers or even a wig shop would fix that problem. I would erase my characters and start fresh with Destiny 2, were it not for one thing: The character creation timestamp. For those who are unaware, in Destiny 2 there will be a timestamp on your character showing the date they were created. This means those of us who have been playing since day one will have something in-game that directly shows this. Deleting your character means that timestamp is gone, and there's no way you can get it back once that's happened. That timestamp might seem like an insignificant data point to some, and that's understandable, but to others it holds deep sentimental value, and that's something that wasn't taken into account by Bungie when they decided not to let us recustomise our imported characters. My proposed solution? Put an NPC in the Farm that lets us recustomise our characters post creation (I'm talking markings, hairstyle and color, race, gender, everything except class). I honestly don't care what the cost is for something like this, even if I have to buy Silver for it.

  • I was jumping on to basically say the same thing, plus I was shocked (in a sad way) to see that on top of the inability to rotate and check out my toon's new 'do, they recycled the same faces/cuts as on D1 so deleting my titan to check out character creation got me absolutely nothing. The game play's nice, but it all starts with being able to connect with your character and that's hard to do when you realize you're stuck with the same junky emo cuts with wierd rear ends you have to photo reference via google and faces that look ok-ish during creation but in the tower/farm somehow morph to looking just like my ex boss. Still going to play and appreciate the efforts that went elsewhere, but very disappointed that they didn't make any changes to this aspect of the game.
