Dear FS, please allow us some additional customization of existing characters.
Firstly, an option for changing a character’s name.
Secondly, things like height or even gender would be greatly appreciated.
You can put these options on a long cooldown, if necessary.
Thank you for your time.
Hear hear. I can not find any reason whatsoever why these quality of life features wouldn’t be available to paying customers. I’ve run a mission with two ogryn named Bragg, one of which was mine, that alone invalidates all claims of “uniquenes” or whatever the developers or white knights would claim. There simply isn’t an argument that would or could justify this character editing not to be a thing. Thanks.
Agreed. The characters we play in DT just aren’t fleshed out enough to justify locking in certain cosmetic options — height is literally the only thing about our characters that has any effect on gameplay and they don’t even speak during cutscenes.
Only thing that makes it make sense to me is if FS is planning on selling extra character slots, which would be a pretty scummy move.
I agree, honestly you should be able to completely redo your character background, homeworld, backstory, name, height, appearance, gender, and voice. No one is going to grind up a whole new character just to change their name or something.
why even have a character generator then?
Agreed 100%.
Would love to pretty much re-do my entire character from scratch at any time I want, including history.
It would be also nice if we got some new official (and more elaborate) word on possibility of this happening, because iirc the only time it was addressed was by Hedge saying it can’t be done right now due to technical difficulties, and it being low on priority list.
“We actually built stuff like height, voice, and names on spaghetti, so we’re unsure if we can implement these changes without absolutely screwing ourselves for time considering that this game launched a year or two too early and we have to delay that stuff to manage the game we didnt finish. Sorry!”
A height slider has to be available at the bare minium considering how much it affects actual gameplay. Like my character has to constantly look down in order for me to hit minions in melee, which considerably f*cks with my ability to perceive threats in the distance and I am not keen on having to level up entire characters from scratch, because this is not available. Height is just as much part of a character build as anything else.
with this change, they should also allow your back story to be visible under your name when players select you in the social tab, this way you can feel the lore that you and others have created about your characters!
We definitely need this.
If I want to rename my Ogryn to Mario to fit his new hat then I should be able to. 
Please for the love of all that is holy make this possible, I had no idea what I was doing when I made my first character and I hate the voice and name now but have already invested way too much time to start over.
Players potentially invest a lot of time in their characters, and minor things like these can mean surprisingly much to people in regards to their enjoyment of the game.
everything should beable to be changed post character creation. as some can change gameplay .
Name= one of the largest factors for making our character our own, and a pinnacle of personalization,
i once had an amazing match and as a joke, our veteran carried a power core threw half the mission, even showed him in the drop ship with it. we suggested to change his name to Aster Core-Carrier but you cant change your name to give interesting titles.
Gender & Voice= being a key factor in distinguishing our characters, no one wants to sound like another unless thats your intention. as if roleplaying twins or the like.
it always sucks to invite a friend to play the game and not knowing he uses the same voice as you, and when something cool is said in your voice you think thats awesome, all up until you notice it wasnt you who said it.
Height= this actually has great Gameplay relevence. as most human characters are greatly affected by this. as it can change how your player interaction with the game world.
make your character really short you can fully hide behind all cover. but you wont beable to shoot over cover too well when crouching.
make your character really tall, you can shoot over any cover but also may get shot as your just alittle taller than the cover around you, even when crouching.
.
also, some people against this i have mentioned it would break immersion and make your lore and back story meaningless, well they would have a point:
IF YOU COULD VIEW YOUR OR YOUR FRIENDS BACKSTORY.
to my knowledge you cant.
.
i would suggest everything in character creation be able to be changed post character creation.
also could we get a summary of our back story in the social tab, when selecting a player in the hub?
it could appear right under their picture and name in the empty space directly below, this would also allow you to view your own backstory as you can also select your self from the social tab.
I couldn’t agree more！
also if not already stated,
having the desire to change any of the above would, at this current time, constitute making a new character and spending the better half of 30-50 hours to level them from 1-30.
this on its own is unacceptable, even MMOs have $2 vouchers that let your change everything.
I agree please make this a thing.
I love Darktide and I love my main character, but I hate the name I gave him when I made him very quickly during beta to get in and play with my friends. Thought I would be able to change it later, because I considered it a basic QOL feature that would be in the game. Please Fatshark, hear our humble plea.
Well, boys.
Modders did it again.
Height can now be changed.
Assuming that it works. I did not test it.

Yes, I remember that. Had hoped we might finally get it with the next big patch.
