Appearance customisation kiosk - allows players to updates their characters, changing everything from the basic cosmetics (hair, eye colour, etc.) to more noticeable features (body type, heck, even species). The new Cathar species - at long bloody last. The ability to change the colour of one's armour - quite how this is achieved in-game is yet to be revealed (purchasable paint-cans, drop-down box options, who knows?), but is still a welcome feature.
This update looks to be the best update in terms of character cosmetic design, including many much-needed and requested options.
So, who'll be the first in this guild to claim a Cathar toon by the name of Opalescence?

Change in appearance likely to cost CCs, was mention in an earlier interview (no I don't have a link it was ages ago. like last week)
As the Cathar unlock (account-wide) is 600 for all castes of player, it could well be the case that the other aspects (if purchased with CCs) are far cheaper (especially for something so comparatively minor as colour-changing), if not even serving as another aspect of differentiation between Subscribers and F2Pers, much like "Unify Colours", etc.

I can second this, I remember seeing it too.
Also, I doubt they'll let you pick and colors that are "immersion breaking," as some players would call it. I can't foresee bright pink being an option on all armor sets, perhaps some but not all.

Pity that we won't be able to pick and choose two separate colours. On the other hand, it does mean that the ugly colour combinations like pink and orange (unless applying primary pink dye to the Level 50 Master Striker Chestguard or that one from the Cartel Market) will not be in abundance.

Slave girl top gives the elegant dress Pink+Yellow and looks good. Pink+orange wouldn't be that different

Track all of your Cartel Market items that are part of a collection, including items you haven’t yet obtained, with the new Collections Interface! You can individually purchase the ability to share each Cartel Market item you’ve collected across every Character on your account. The amount of Cartel Coins required will vary per item.
To access the Collections Interface, visit the Cartel Market and click on the “Collections” button at the top right hand corner.

I think I found something to spend my monthly cartel coins.
Well guess I'll be copying my Relaxed Jumpsuit + Rascal's Toothpick and Phantom set(new not classic) on all my toons

Nice. Got kinda tired of all my princess names so I'll be renaming all of them to actual names instead.
And yes...I want those server transfers as well, just don't feel like getting an imp to 55 on my slinger's server :'(

As cool as Collections sounds, I'd still prefer some quality of life updates over more ways to spend Cartel Coins. Hopefully, 2.2 will be "All the shit we should have done to make the game nicer" and 2.3 will be "REally easy shit that we promised but keep avoiding."
