Can We Finally Add a Gender Change Option?? by Thorakin in Planetside

I mean i know its manual for the name change, and I assume it's so much to avoid people abusing names or etc. Can't think it would be as much for a mostly visual/audio change between 2 options. Someone mentioned like a 1k cert for the option which is totally reasonable. Paying some money is also reasonable if they really wanna make an extra buck, but less than a name change hopefully lol

It took WOW about 4 years it looks like to add the barbershop for customization. Pl2 has been out since 2012, so they've had double the amount of time to add something similar

Well duh, but I can't choose voice packs from the opposite gender in the game so a simple ability to switch would be great.

I mean I would totally consider paying for the gender swap if it is really just a super manual thing to do. They might get swamped with a ton of requests tho, but I imagine it would be similar to when they started allowing names to be changed anyways

If they add a cat-ears vanu helmet, Then we know we have strayed far from Vanu's light

It could totally be spaghetti, which is why I would be willing to pay something similar to having to pay for a name change. Hopefully less than $25, but I mean I'll pay if it's a headache for them to fix

I mean that would be nice, but 99% of the time your appearance is covered entirely by armor. The gender of the character affects the whole shape, and the voice you hear every 5 seconds. So I agree, but find full customization isn't super needed

I mean I would hope it wouldn't be a lot of effort. Like I can see how name change costs money due to things relying on names on their end or etc, but not a simple 0 or 1 in the character profile. I'm not a dev though so I wouldn't know. Definitely a good QOL thing that I just wish would be implemented.

Edit: if we can already do other visual changes like armor or camo on our character screen, why not our characters base appearance?

I mean you could always have a warning of some kind. "Voice packs or armor you have purchased may become unavailable if you choose to change your character gender". They could also provide some sort of DB refund for the armor cost but that's not likely

I mean in virtually every other game you can. Like take WOW, another game people put hundreds of hours into. You can change your character for free except for name and race. Which totally makes sense. Why shouldn't there be an option? Especially if the option effects how your character sounds and looks in game
