7.0 Benchmark Feedback- Female/Male Midlander

Honestly am at a loss for words at the blow we've been dealt with this new graphical update.

I haven't seen a dedicated post for Midlander's in general male or female and irregardless of face. So i pray this may serve for a place to put all complaints and comparisons.

I'm too embarrassed to even post my own character, as he looks so incredibly bad with these new changes and nearly unrecognizable.

Yes changing the gamma to 0 DOES HELP, to an extent. It does not fully dispel the issues wrong with the new graphical update.

To get more specific when comparing 6.58 v7.0 it’s lighting creates less shadows on the face which eliminates the look of of the original nose + the once original shape of the face causing it to look rounder and merge into our necklines due to a lack of shadows on the jaw area. Then there's the lip creases looking washed out to barely noticeable thus removing what depth once was there and creating a fuller appearance despite the model not actually changing (or so they claim). And finally the eyes with lack of shadowing have diminished details in the surrounding skin area; under eyes etc.

The skin texture is also very plastic-y —which is more apparent in lighter tones than darker.

I honestly weep for these changes.

Large graphical updates such as these should have had multiple benchmarks released for actual players to test and put in feed back through the whole process. Not just 2 months prior.
