Race and Gender Change make Seperate

Vishana Profile Options #1

I like that they added this option but I would love to see it split up. Say $15 for a race change and $10 for a gender change.

The way it would then work is that if you are say a female character and want to do a race change you can only pick from Female Races. However if you wanted to change and play a Baraka or Poppori you would have to buy the gender change as well.

This would seem a better mechanic to me but I dunno maybe I am alone in this.

Please consider this En Masse! Thanks!

You're missing the point, the point is to get as much money out of a person as possible for something they could just as easily do themselves. Why would they split it up and get less money?

Plus I highly doubt that the game engine has a switch for male/female. Look at the character creator. The engine handles the genders as the same as Races. As such it would be the same process regardless.

For instance, in the engine, there is no reference for "gender" or "Race". It's the ID for the Model. For instance, Amani Male is Model_1, Amani Female is Model_2, human male is model_3, human female is model_4. If the process is switching model, then it doesnt really care about race or gender.

what would be the point...? if you changed race you would still have to change what you look like, rendering your entire request invalid.

I think the OP's point is instead of paying $25 to make an Amani Female into a High Elf Female, it will only cost $15.

Or if you want to turn from High Elf Male into a Proper Female (instead of just posing as one) you don't have to pay $25, you just need to pay $10.

Her goal is to have cheaper and more diverse options.

No offense but by your logic after paying for a Race/Gender change I would still need to buy a Character remodel which is included in the Race change already.

don't put words in my mouth.

renders your point invalid, you dont need to seperate something that's already included in the change.

In the case of Going from a High Elf Male to a porper Female you would need to pay the Gender change but also for a Character remodel so it would be $20 as the way I was thinking of it being.

The way you are proposing I would see both needing Race and Gender changes needing to be $15 dollars each to be fair. However if you want to do a race/gender change at same time they could do $25 for that still as a way to help diversify and give more options to players characters customization options. Which could in fact add to how much they make.

Either way would work though. In fact your idea might be better.

Yes but at this time you cannot do a Race change without a gender change. I still stand by what I said in regards to your logic regarding this issue. And it is not a moot point to seperate them as seperate things.
