Racial glamours

[Tumani]

i think a lot of money could be made if players could play a race they like........and not look horrible i would spend money on that lol

You mean play a Half-Elf but not look like a gooberish, ugly Half-Elf?

Or play a Wood-Elf and not have that emo haircut and look like a Half-Orc instead?

I support this idea, though I can also see the argument against reducing race to nothing but a stat set...and, while cosmetics shouldn't have an impact on gameplay, I do think its kinda reductionist to completely divorce the numbers from the idea that you are something in the game world...

All that being said, I think the dealbreaker is animations. They're specific to each race (and sex), which means you'd have issues if you were one race glamered as something else, because the animations for your racial attacks might simply not exist. Ie, there's no animations for SDK Chains for any race other than SDK.

Or play a tiefling and not have to have a stupid head and tail?

Or play a PDK and not have to look at any part of a PDK?

Yes to all of this. I've said as much in the past. Many of the races have really interesting trees or otherwise useful niches(like iconics) but are too unforgivably ugly to actually enjoy playing.

I was doing racials on my alt recently and remembered how much fun ash and other tiefling-specific fire-sorc stuff is. It's just so unpleasant to look at I could never play one as my daily-driver.
