They know people have been asking for eyebrows as an option for a long time, and have commented on it a few times. For whatever reason they don't bother adding it in.

Seeing a lot of brothers with the same faces in this thread. LOL

We suffer in solidarity

I'm face 4 but I've seen other people mentioning the issue is present on other faces too, so I assume it's an issue with the face paint and not the characters themselves.

The face paint placement is a problem on other races as well. Someone posted a picture of an Elezen where the makeup was above their natural eyebrow. We just don't even have the hair to compare it to.

I have posted this on other thread but just for reference (yes this is on face template #2, eyebrow #3). I hope SE fix this at the very least.

Facial tatoo clips into the face on both sides for no reason.

This is while the character is totally idle. During certain animations, the whole tatoo below the jaw just vanishes into his neck.

Hair now randomly clips into the characters neck even on flat textures.
This is the short back and sides cut. This happens on almost all non-idle animations.

This is the Hildibrand cut. Just vanishes into his neck.

This is the smart side comb cut.

I appreciate a lot of people are upset with visual changes to certain parts of their character, but a lot of Higlander options are just straight up busted and not working correctly. I'm certain there are more issues like this, I'm going to check for them later.
Hopefully this is fixed before launch.

I noticed this in the benchmark. The hairstyles I most like clip my neck. I don't think they play tested their changes at all, for all race/clan combos.

I find it crazy that they haven't change this beard, it looks like crossed threads. They gave a new one to midlander tho.

I wish to add my voice to the choir for the team to consider this feedback before launch. This would be an ideal time to implement an actual option for male Highlander eyebrows (an unforced option to be opted into, even if it is implemented similarly to the new female Hrothgar brows). It would be wonderful to move forward from face paint going into 7.0, even if/when the paint quality is updated to become more viable on the newer models.

Wow, lots of technical issues here I didn't even notice. The first one you showed is with probably the most common hair for highlanders so the clipping will affect a lot of people. I was so anxious to see what the damage with the eyebrow face paint would be I didn't think to look for other issues. Upon giving the benchmark a second look I did notice what appears to be some strange artifacts in my character's hair during the last sequence:

At first I thought it might be related to the Viper effects, but it's present even without the glow.

I'd still say I'm more bothered by the eyebrows, though. It's not a new problem but it feels a lot more noticeable now with all the upgrades.

Really is frustrating that we are still unable to have eyebrows for male highlander even though it was set on a lore standpoint! Not all highlanders are from Ala Mhigo! they def should be given the chance to have real ones at this point...

Here to say I was hoping for eyebrows and am sad there are none.

Eyebrows please (:
