EmperorSteele Posted January 17, 2021 Posted January 17, 2021 So, I was playing around with the "random" button in the costume creator the other day, and I noticed a weird pattern. A lot, and I mean, damn near MOST, of the randomly-generated costumes had either an animal head, the "brain in a jar head", monster legs, and/or the Crab backpack. Heck, it seemed to cycle through most of the same options over and over. So, if this is a problem, why would I ask to "de-randomize" the randomize option? Simple. Currently, it weighs all the top-level options equally. If we stop it from doing that, and maybe give certain options more "weight" than others (like cape for back details, since there are a ton of cape options), then the results would no longer be "random", BUT, the end results WOULD be more varied. Just a thought.
Hardship Posted January 17, 2021 Posted January 17, 2021 I would just like the option to "lock" piece in so it didn't randomize. Sometimes there a parts of the random character that look good to me, but I'm not patient / skilled enough to change everything else. I'd like like to lock that part in and keep hitting random. Conversely, I sometimes have a costume close, but want to look at some other options. If I like the head, face, hair, etc... It would be nice to get some random help in the remaining areas without wiping out the stuff I liked. 7

Greycat Posted January 17, 2021 Posted January 17, 2021 I'd be all for being able to lock (or filter out) options when randomizing. 1 Kheldian Lore and Backstory Guide 2.0: HC edition Out to EAT : A look at Epic ATs - what is, could have been, and never was Want 20 merits?

Rishidian Posted January 19, 2021 Posted January 19, 2021 I've noticed the same thing. When looking at randomized costumes, the majority of the costumes show animal heads and legs. Sometimes it would be nice to lock in parts, or colors, or eliminate certain types of parts (animal heads, or full helmets, etc.) I would like to have the random costume generator when talking to ICON or a trainer also. So, in other words, I agree, with a bit more.

Each category should be weighted by how many options it's got. Edited January 19, 2021 by Take One 1 Check out my stories in the Mission Architect. Just search for "@Take One" or "SFMA".
