Barbershop?

Just saying a barbershop would be cool so you can change your characters features such as hair, skin color and for us older people that play a beard lol! Once again just throwing another idea out there, blessings!

I love this idea! It's really good! I don't think you should be able to change your skin color though

Alex_Amberblast1 2017-04-19 22:46:37 UTC #3

But shouldn't you have to pay to get your hairstyle changed? And would you pay in money, like aetherlight currency you earn in quests, or would you barter with the barber with items you already have?

I LOVE THIS IDEA!!! I think being able to change hair etc...!

Emily_Purplebottle 2017-04-20 13:24:45 UTC #5

Yeah I think you can only change your hair color and style, and Alex_Amberblast1 I think you should pay

I like the bartering idea. Once I put up a suggestion that we should be able to craft "Hair Elastics" that would change our hairstyles.

Ideas on making Aetherlight better💡💡

It could even be an item! Just like dye can be used with any outfit, you could have some sort of ticket or coupon or "hair cream" that you could use to change your hair.
About skin color, I feel like it would be okay if you think of the avatar in terms of a character you're creating. I don't know if people consider it like a version of themselves in the game, but I personally just made a character that wasn't that similar to me? So it would just feel like changing a character's appearance (like playing Luigi instead of Mario or whatever).

Yeah that would be a cool idea @Vito_Crankmop!

Alex_Amberblast1 2017-04-21 00:30:44 UTC #9

Thanks. Bartering may be difficult if you are bartering with the computer. maybe you could choose three or more items from your inventory and have the computer (barber) randomly pick a few. I dunno, just brainstormin' here!

I think it would be a little strange to change skin color. I mean, you can't do it in real life unless you want a tan to make it darker, but lighter? You would have to do something really weird.

Violet_Applehelp1 2017-04-21 21:56:20 UTC #12

Stay out of the sun! That's how you get lighter, @Alex_Amberblast1. I got a tan over last summer, and by the end of winter you couldn't tell I had been tanned! I like the idea of being able to change colour eyes, I accidentally left Violet's eyes green when I wanted blue! I'd love to change them back!!

Mystia_Overshine 2017-04-21 21:58:06 UTC #13

Awesome! Yessssssssssssss! I'm always wanting to change my hair! Not that it's bad or anything though.

Alex_Amberblast1 2017-04-22 02:00:22 UTC #14

Okay, but I have a feeling people are talking about an instantaneous change in skin hue. Maybe I am just being to picky.

Violet_Applehelp1 2017-04-22 07:47:22 UTC #15

Yeah, I know what you mean! I think, though, that is would be cool to be able to defy reality in the game, as you can't do it in real life!!

Alex_Amberblast1 2017-04-22 17:23:42 UTC #16

Well that would fit into this game as we are doing it quite a bit already .

Matt_Bonnetfolly1 2017-04-22 17:31:58 UTC #17

Aetherlight currency would be cool, although I think many people already use cogs. Remember Lloyd? But if there was, I think it should be called a Aethon.

Wendy_Laddershine 2017-04-22 18:13:04 UTC #18

And also at the apple/banana stands! And sometimes the urchins ask you to "spare a cog".
But with custom currency, maybe you could buy some things, as well! I've been grinding like crazy to get lenses (and I don't have to for anything else), so it would definitely be nice to have an alternative.

Alex_Amberblast1 2017-04-22 21:02:08 UTC #19

Brainstorming:
1: Since we are just introducing the idea of currency (I think), what story could explain the need to use money all of the sudden?
2: Thing is about cogs being a type of money, cogs are common. You can find them lying around and you can easily win/earn them. It seems that they aren't very valuable, so maybe they will not serve the purpose of currency very well?
3: How would bartering work?
4:Maybe we should make a new post about currency since this one is about a barbershop

Wendy_Laddershine 2017-04-22 21:51:28 UTC #20

I'm not sure if it'll be entirely necessary since a lot of things have been redone in terms of the game system and how things work since the beginning, but since we're around Joseph's story, it could be introduced with David's story (after Moses, if we go through his life). With the whole "we want our own king now" could come a similar cry of "we want our own system".

Cogs are already the "currency" used in Aesthesia, but I also agree that there should be a new system if currency could be used to buy items and such! Bartering already happens to an extent in quests, but if we would be able to buy items, I don't think bartering should be possible.

Alex_Amberblast1 2017-04-23 21:33:38 UTC #21

@Wendy_Laddershine, I do not have much experience in aetherlight, I didn't know cogs were the currency.
