Really, Funcom? REALLY

I’m a colossal idiot, there is no other way to put it.  COLOSSAL IDIOT.  I downloaded and played early access for The Secret World this afternoon.  Why did Funcom have a beta if they refuse to take input from their beta testers?

Examples:

  • Character customization sliders
  • Head and hair improvements
  • Text size and coloration on menus

Look here’s the least offensive female character I could create, and she’s got bad, bad hair, and could there were any more angles on that excuse for a face.  I named her Godawful “Apeface” Ugly.

Character customization is worse than it was in beta, yeah I know hard to believe.  There are FAR less choices for clothing options, female makeup is a JOKE, no new hair, heads are atrocious and still not one single slider for body choice.  Yeah seriously Funcom, I don’t care that you plan to put plastic surgery clinics in at some point.  Your word has no value, you will do what you want and not listen. 

There is absolutely no excuse for the character customization you released on the game client today.  You were told by closed and open beta testers that character customization was god awful.  Men look like prepubescent children and woman like look apes.  You were told repeatedly that height and weight sliders were needed, yet they are missing.  Hair is so bad it makes it impossible to actually look at your character, ever.

I realize the Funcom apologists will defend the game at all costs, but the sad truth is that character creation is the first impression people have of any game.  The first impression that the game leaves makes three-day old diapers look more attractive.  The fact that I can’t even purchase a skirt or dress of any kind from Funcom’s cash shop is appalling.
