Can u grow a beard? How does the days survived work?

Do you grow a beard over time in the game or is it just based on the character skin you pick?

Also how does the days survived work? ATM my character is on 2 days but how does the game gauge this?

there isnt anything in the game atm to show how long you been alive apart from the number that pops up when you log in, but i think rocket was talking about adding the beard feature, the longer you are alive the more rugged and worn down your guy looks.

its based on the skin you pick! you can have half blue face like william wallace, you can have greay hair and short beard, you can have white hair and white beard and sunglasses if you like that..

But I think Rocket was hoping to implement it in the future.

I want to see pubes popping out of my pants and my hair getting longer and my beard. Just kidding lol.

I like the idea of growing a beard over time. When you log in and it tells you the days survived, how does the game gauge that? It can't be in game hours or anything like that cause no way have I played this character for 48 hours.

This is not the time you've spent in-game.

It's in real time, e.g. "Day 36" tells you that you've survived since June 30th.

I don't know... I don't think a beard would look good on the Joker face I've created. xP
