When the DLC comes out will we be able to switch to the new races on our current char, or are we forced to start a new one?
im really hoping it'll give us the chance to re-spec to the new race,,,,
ive got the season pass,, but doubt i'd be using the feature of starting fresh every time a new dlc comes out,,, after all, i wanna play the new missions that come out with the dlc,, not all the ones i did before
I'd definitely prefer it if we were able to respec our existing characters to the different races, rather than having to start entirely from scratch. Particularly if a particular race would suit some of my characters better.
It better require starting over. If they happen to make a great looking character race and you can just click a button then most of the game pop will just switch. That's a little dull.
I would really like to be able to respec to the new race when it comes, I completely hate how my irathient male looks in the outfits currently offered... However I find it HIGHLY unlikely that there will be such a option, If they currently had the ability to do something like that I would imagine race/gender changes would already be availible trough the marketplace.
If they have the feature to switch races, I really hope they charge $50 for it. Milk them piggies
Race doesn't even matter in this game, so unless its just a social thing for you, why would it matter?
Not happy with my race now, but I don't want to restart :)Quote:

Wouldn't be surprised if a race change option goes in...at a price.
Great opportunity for them especially if they put in races that people really want to be.
Ok you are never given the chance to swap a race on a char without starting over... Where are you people getting this from. unless they do a pay for option.
I would hope they would have some type of race respec, and why should you have to pay real money when you already payed for the dlc? I mean in game money would be alright, or ark salvage but actual money after already buying the dlc sounds crazy
I dont want to pay for DLC's for a incomplete game
incomplete IMO! I know you loved this game but I didint like you
Maybe they'll allow a "race respec" when they included that with an overall "costume/bodytype" change feature. Either way it ought to have some kind of semi-prohibitive cost to it so that people don't start toggling their race every five minutes. ;)
There are MMOs where you can change your race, one thing to note is that the DLC is going to be free* so if I can't get an option to change my race I simply wont buy the DLC.
i would say you will be able too as long as you pay them some money
Please be Sensoth, please be Sensoth, please be Sensoth...

You can stay... for now.
Anywho, would be nice if there were two variants of character alteration in-game. A paid version from the store that allows you to change the whole lot, race, gender, everything, and a version in-game where you pay scrip or resources in order to change hair, skin colour, eye colour, add/remove face-paint and blemishes etc, but no huge changes like race, gender, or starting class. (Although I wouldn't mind being able to buy the outfits from somewhere anyway)
I'd love it to be a free option, but Defiance needs to make its money somehow, and despite a few hiccups to my experience with the game, I would like to help support it and the developers.
I just hope the new race will look less human.
We could use a few less humanoid races, but from what I've seen of the lore the majority of Votan species seem to at least have a semi-human build, with a few exceptions. Plus its easier for the devs to make humanoid races. Still with the amount there are, I wouldn't mind seeing three or four new races added, might add a little diversity to the characters. Options are a little limited right now, not that I'm complaining. (Wouldn't mind some long hairstyles for males though Trion, hint hint)Quote:

if they added it i'd hope they charge, not an unreasonable amount mind you, but enough that not everybody makes the switch, your character needs to be at least semi-permanent in the game world and we don't want everybody just changing to the FoTM species.
My bet is they will offer an expensive cash shop or account based option to change race/gender. I for one will NOT be regrinding this same stuff again; it's boring and extremely repetitious as it is with one character.
So, can anyone explain the advantages of changing race/gender anyways in Defiance and how that breaks the game? It's not like there is any racial bonuses or anything like that: there is no distinction between the races other than looks and even that is hard to tell due to lack luster models/animations/cosmetic choices on char creation.
Guys, you do realize, that those "DLC" races, are just skins.
No unique voice, No unique animations, the only difference is the face, and colors.
The story is the same, the weapons are the same.
Why would you pay for new races?
Because some of us like that kinda things.Quote:
