I'm starting over because of few choices and sucky choices (Destiny)

by General Vagueness @, The Vault of Sass, Wednesday, March 25, 2015, 18:32 (3530 days ago)

I'm going to delete my male human Hunter and start over as a female human Hunter. I know I'll be happier with the dance, because the Carlton got old after five minutes and all the other dances look better, I think I'll be happier with the armor and body shape, and I might be happier with the hair and with how the character looks in motion (I don't like the vast majority of the human male hairstyles and none really fit the look I was going for, i.e. looking like me).

I just wish I didn't have to redo my story unlocks, redo my ability unlocks, lose my Crucible and Vanguard marks, and lose my reputation with everyone (I'm glad I didn't put any time into the factions). I wish the vault was bigger so I wouldn't have to do as much shuffling and deleting to keep everything that's transferable. I wish we could re-order our characters because this will (almost definitely) put my Hunter on the bottom, and I prefer to have my Hunter be the character has its preview shown when I start the game, and I'll probably pick the wrong one because of muscle memory a few times. (I was going to restart my other two characters to get everything in the right order, but now I'm thinking "screw it".) I wish we had more character slots, because a human female Hunter is what I was leaning towards for my fourth character (maybe built as a Bladedancer, even), and I would've started her weeks or months ago if I could have and not had to do all this juggling, plus I'd have more space for different weapons and stuff.

I wish I could change my appearance and my dance without dropping everything else.

I'm bringing it up here for a few reasons; firstly because it's an indirect message to Bungie that this stuff is important to me, secondly because we can hopefully have a productive conversation about it, and thirdly because I would like any pictures or video you guys have of the human female hairstyles from angles other than the front. If I could spin the character around in the character creator, or if the characters just had animations that showed more after a while, this wouldn't be necessary, but it's clear Bungie didn't take character creation seriously (it feels like I can customize the just the reticle in Aleph One almost as much as my entire base character in Destiny), so I can either find outside pictures, or create the character and wait for stuff to load and cutscenes to play until I can go into third-person view, and repeat for every option I want to look at. A lot of the Awoken female hairstyles were misleading and most of them are not good IMHO (a few with patches shaved bare, I would understand, but this many?), so I was very glad I found pictures and video of them from other sides before choosing, and I can't seem to find anything for the human female hairstyles.

Spend whatever marks you have on materials before you delete it.

I would like to restart my hunter for a different reason. I want that scarf back. I didn't think about wanting to keep it back then and now I wish I still had it. With a lot invested into my 3 characters, there's just too much to give up for that scarf. I wish there was a way to buy it again.

A female bladedancer does sound pretty cool. If we ever get slots for more characters I would build that. Maybe an exo titan too.

There are some awesome rare weapons and capes you should try to save while you're leveling up. It's all style points now anyway; dress every day like you're gonna get murdered in those clothes!

I wish I'd saved my Frumious Cloak; I rocked it from 12-18, but never saw it with a shader. Noticed a subreddit thread with shaders on it and I am filled with regret.

I already did; it looks like by the time I'm done with this last Crucible bounty I'll almost have enough for one more thing, so I'll just play until I hit 75 and then dump it on boots or something.

Huh, I've gotten a lot of cloaks and I'm pretty sure I've never seen any of these, I'll be on the lookout.
A lot of the glut in my vault and my characters' inventory is and has been rare-grade weapons that are too interesting to just get rid of, or that I thought might be good Crucible weapons but either turned out to be average or, more commonly, that I deleted before I unlocked the relevant upgrade(s). I don't have a reason to use it any more but I don't think I'll ever get rid of my NIFTY_BISCUIT. Side note, I like the descriptions and names that give insights into who made the weapons and armor and what their philosophy and thought process is, like with the NIFTY_BISCUIT-- the name and description just scream "sarcastic programmer" to me; An Insurmountable Skullfort is similar. There are patterns too, that fit or reinforce the class archetypes-- Warlocks always seem to use Roman numerals for numbering things, while Hunters never do, and Hunters seem to be the only ones that use decimals (like 2.1).

Huh. I'd never seen nifty bicuit. Go figure.

Yes, this is what I'm using for my PS4 hunter now. Was delighted to see it was affected by shaders. Love the cloudwalker cape, but I've been hoarding my motes lately.

Yeah, as a cape fiend, I was bummed.

As an aside, I've spent 150 motes on speaker capes because I can't stop myself.

Destiny Hair Styles

thanks, but I really wanted something showing other angles, those are all what I could actually see when I'm making the character

and couldn't find a good presentation of human female hairstyles. That said, the bob at 1:23 is the only real choice, according to my hunter.

As far as I can tell, you are removing all progress with your character simply so you can change aesthetics of your character. Your timing of this (if you have done it already) may come back to bite you.

Presumeing the "time table" of topics presented is presented one at a time (with this week possibly to be about vault space), we will start finding out things about House of wolves in three weeks give or take.

Wait.

If I was Bungie I would not make my house of wolves update about hairstyles. Stealth update that feature. I mean there will be forum grousing regardless but that's the sort of spark that can set a fire.

They are supposedly enlarging vaults, but either way I have a lot of things I was planning to delete and move around, mainly the guns from that research I did into how the damage system works... but then again, it's pretty clear I can't fit all of my "general" items in the vault, and some I might have issues even putting them on my characters... if I have to give up too much, I'll just wait, so thanks for pointing it out.
By the way, I collected some more data and I was going to follow up on that, but my inability to get a good graph out of it and someone showing me an absolutely massive spreadsheet of roughly the same type put me off it. Maybe eventually I'll get back to it.
