Please change the Extras so you can buy more than one for the avi. Example: earrings and glasses

Ty for doing this finally, CW. I wish it were totally like 7 Seas, but this is a good start. Pros and cons to making a new avatar every single time instead of just having a base one that you customize outfits for. Seems a little nasty though to add on a 500 token "custom surcharge" to the cost of the items you choose for your avatar.. After all it's not like the company have to do anything extra, since you already have all this stuff created for 7 Seas. The players are the ones doing the "work" of choosing the face, hair color and style, skin color, outfit and accessories, although it's not really work :-)
It would be nice if we could choose our dance moves instead of having random moves come up for a very short period, then on to the next one. Suppose I really don't want to invite people to "call me". No way to delete that particular move. Just sayin, it would nice. Maybe in the future?

Nunya, you can buy different extras for your avi, so this is a bit more like 7 Seas than I originally thought. Simply create your new avi with the items you already own and then add a different pair of earring, glasses or other extra. You will only be charged the cost of the extras you don't already own, plus the 500 token "custom" fee. I just did this to get the earrings I wanted, that were not available when I made my first avi, but since then have shown up in my selections.So 700 tokens for a 200 token pair of earrings plus the 500 token custom fee for my avi with different earrings. For some reason it won't let me name this one, as it did the first one, not that it really matters as far as I'm concerned. Maybe because it's the same except for the earrings. Dunno.

Thank you, LuckIs A Lady!

I've noticed different hairstyles that I don't have the option to choose. And the earrings I wanted to add aren't showing up in today's choices. Are some selections just random--you have to catch them when they show up? Still learning.

Nunya, I was wondering that also. I played around with the program for awhile last night. Each time I went into it, I was shown a slightly different selection of items, even though it says they change weekly. Some were the same extras as before but in a different color/pattern, and I saw some different outfits and hair styles as well. I thought it was strange that the first time I went to create an avi, the bridal veil was available but there was no bride dress. Then after I went back a few more times, one of the bride dresses showed up and the veil was still there. There's not a wedding in my future, lol, but I just thought it was weird you could buy the bridal veil but not a dress to go with it. If you don't buy an item when it shows up, don't know if you get another chance to buy it again later on.

Wow, this is a refreshing and exciting addition. My compliments. Seeing players I know having fun with the new Avatars and outfits is adding another element to the playing experience. I like it a lot.
I have a request. The new faces don't much resemble what I'd like to present. I'm not that young and not that stylish. My ideal would be to have the ability to change clothes, hair color and facial features on my chosen original Avatar.
Why do I want to create such a bland Avatar? So that players approach me in the way I present myself. After all, there is a real person behind each Avatar. Those are the people I wish to become a part of. :)

I was wondering why there are so many other outfits that people have and accessories that I don't see in my choices. I have only about a dozen to choose from and they are all the same type of outfits, just a few different colors and patterns. I've even messed around with the faces and hair styles just to see of the outfits changed based on that. I really wish I could get some of those other outfits. Does anybody have any idea why?

i was told if u change the skin tones u have more options, so i checked it out and infact it's true. Good luck have fun

I tried that Sassy, I still got the same outfits to choose from. I'll keep trying, at least it's something different!

I tried changing skin tones also and still have the same hairstyles, outfits and extras to choose from. And I still think "extras" should be as many as you want. If I want earrings and glasses, a halo and a headband, a guitar and wings and I'm willing to pay for it, why not?

Thanks CW I love the new avatar feature. It would be nice if when you purchase items they could stay as inventory you could select at any time and mix and match without having to pay 500 avatar coins each time you want to change your look using pieces you already have purchased.

Facial hair choices. Still waiting for facial hair choices.

I reserve the right to remove the Bravo CW. I was/am so Happy to see the new avi's but was disappointed to not find all the choices of colors for accessories, or outfits. I had not come back to read ALL the posts regarding the new Avi's. So imagine my Surprise when i finally found the french braid i wear at 7 seas and had to pay a custom service fee (500) for the purchase of just one hair item.
But what is worse is that just to switch items you own, you have to pay a 500 coin custom service fee AGAIN. This is is really underhanded. NOT NICE CW!!!!

Well lol, I just came from 7 seas and the looked the outfits, hair, and accessories there.
SHOCKED to see cost at CW per item is DOUBLE the cost at 7seas, + the 500 custom outfit fee, + to rearrange your outfit with items you own is you incur another 500 custom service fee/ per change.
BAD FORM CW...................... TRULY BAD FORM!

I agree with you Enjoli. That custom fee is so wrong, and to have to pay it for every change you want to make to an avi is just so greedy. I was excited at first, but now, not so much.

With you 100%, Enjoli. I saw the same thing about the cost of items being double that of 7 Seas. Also some of the items we got there from ports there with starfish/seahorses are outrageously priced on CW. The berets from Paris, which I love and we didn't have to spend avatar tokens on, are 4K tokens here.
Also agree the custom avi fee when recombining items you already own is really outrageous, especially considering that you never know when an item you want to add to an existing avi may show up. It's really hard to put outfits together that match and make sense, since the selections we are getting really don't go together that well, and we will definitely see things we want to change/add to the avis we make now, coming up in future selections.
I already have three versions of the first avi I made here on CW and would like to delete two of them. I can see us ending up with a whole bunch of unused avis because they were made when we didn't have the items available that we ultimately decide look best together, and cost us a fortune to revise.
I'm also wondering if you want a particular item but don't have an outfit to go with it available to you currently, will you ever get offered that item/outfit again?

Sassy and Theresa, I was told the same thing that changing the face or skin/hair color would give you different selections, but it didn't work for me either. What I found is that I get a slightly different selection of outfits and extras which are sometimes the same item, but a different color/pattern, after a certain amount of time, so I keep checking back to see what's new. Also if you buy an outfit or extra, it gets replaced by a new one.

Nunya, the extras on 7 Seas and here are in "categories" and you can only have one item from each category on an avi at at time. So either glasses or earrings, but not both at once, and so on. There is actually one design of sunglasses that has earrings included with it, but they're little button things that you can hardly see.

It is crazy the prices you are charging in comparison to 7 seas and the 500 extra each time. You have killed the excitement of having new custom avis. I don't see anywhere that you are going to be giving us extra avatar tokens to make it worth getting these custom avatars.

THANK YOU THANK YOU CW so much fun my new avatar disappeared ???

I WAS HOPING WE COULD ADD TO THE AVATARS WE ALREADY HAD. IT'S JUST LIKE SEVEN SEAS. I DONT LIKE THAT SITE. ONE REASON I LEFT IS BECAUSE THE AVATARS ARE SO GENERIC LOOKING. I WOULD THINK WITH TECHNOLOGY TODAY ALL AVATARS WOULD BE MORE LIFE LIKE INSTEAD OF CARTOON CHARACTERS. I WOULD LOVE TO BE ABLE TO ADD MY OWN PIC TO MY AVATAR. I GUESS IT DOESNT REALLY MATTER IN THE END. I AM ONLY HERE TO PLAY GAMES AND RELAX A LITTLE.

I see that nothing has been posted in this thread for over three weeks and it's been a month since the custom avatar program was initiated on CW. I just want to reiterate some of the issues I mentioned previously, since they continue to get more annoying as time goes on and nothing has changed.
The custom avi fee of 500 tokens is really becoming burdensome, considering that most of the time the selections we see in our choices don't always combine well. When we do see an accessory that goes with an outfit we've already purchased or vise versa, a 200 or 400 token hat, earrings or whatever quickly zings up when the 500 token custom fee is added. Also this leaves us with multiple copies of the same avatar, with as little as one difference that wasn't available when we first made it.
Also, lots of us aren't getting the same choices as others, so we may see something we like on someone else but never seem to get a chance to get it ourselves. For instance, I've heard a number of people complaining that they haven't been offered the 4th of July ball caps & hats that a lot of us have. Also, I still would like to know if you pass on an item for whatever reason, will you ever be offered that item again, or do you have just bite the bullet and grab it when you see it? Sometimes we might not have enough tokens or whatever, but later would like to purchase that item..
One other request. Could you please group all of the items we own at the bottom of the selections, the way they are on 7 Seas? On CW, they're scattered throughout the selections we don't own, so they're difficult to locate when we're trying to combine them with a new purchase.

I agree completely with all the LuckIs A Lady has mentioned. I'd most likely have made dozens more avatars by now, if only the choices that are shown to me actually paired well together. What I am seeing doesn't make sense as an outfit with any of the accessories. Why do I not see what others do, why is it all so random every time I go in? So.... why would I continue to want to make more of them?

All of my hair colours are the silver hair No blondes like I am or anything else

You're probably all already aware, but we did drop the custom avatar fee from 500 to 50. We didn't want too many of these at launch but the basic system seems to be working fine so we've dropped the fee now.
We'll also look at that idea of sorting the items you already own to the bottom so they're clearer. That's a good idea.
