Any chance for Hellsguard facelift?

What are the chances they'll finally get around to fix the dark spot on female Hellsguard Roegadyn faces?

I play Sea Wolf right now but it's getting pretty old looking like a vamp lol

I'd love to get some color to her cheeks (that is not green or gray), but the dark spot makes the nose look even more terrible than it's shape is already doing.

I'd rather avoid using third party things to chance textures into something bearable...

I would hope that we would see all the original races get looked at. It's really jarring seeing the new gear on a miqote. It's like someone bought two different packages in second life.

Yeah... I wanted to make a new preset with my current face, just as Hellsguard to make a character for a bit to see how she looks in the game, and,... well... she looks like a furry's wet dream. The Roegadyn nose shape is already pretty animal-looking, and the dark blotch on the nostrils make it look like a snout instead of a nose. Guess I'm staying as Sea Wolf vamp for the forseeable future.

That ship sailed when they put the resources on that thing

I would also love all the original races to get some texture touch ups. Elezen cheeks can look sunken and their eyes are a bit dimmer. Also, their animations....

You take that back, I love my volcanic soot nose* and I wouldn't trade it off for anything. I don't think it looks animalistic at all, but rather exotic and elevates the fact that roegadyn are in fact NOT just big humans but their own, separate race. Also, why are you only mentioning female Hellsguard roegadyn faces that need their nose changed, wouldn't male Hellsguard roegadyn need their noses changed as well to keep the clan's visual design consistent?
I would however love some cleaner cheeks without so many blemishes and liverspots (or whatever they are because they sure as hell aren't freckles).

* this is just my headcanon based on the fact that the Hellsguard clan originates from volcanic islands.

That's just how Hellsguard noses are. It's a call back to Galka who had similar animal style dark nostrils.

I personally think it's cute.

Hellsguard's nose is one of the things that distinguish themselves from the Sea Wolves.
I don't want the two clans to be just recolored version of each other.

Right. Let's change the one thing that defines a Hellsguard and make em look like everybody else. C'mon now people.

They need to fix FemRoe body shape first. They look like refrigerators with feet.

When I started playing I genuinely thought they had a "puppy nose" .....and then I upgraded my graphic card, the disappointment was unmeasurable and my day was ruined.

If anything though, I think maybe a skin retexture would be nice, have you seen those open pores? they'd make dermatologists cry

Fem Elezen need their mouths redone. Three of four faces unusable because the mouths are low res and super pale regardless of color chosen.

It's amazing how people think the dark spot on the bottom of the nose is a feature. It's probably a remnant of bad texturing job that was supposed to help shade the face as the game's shadows are pretty bad. Unless Hellsguard really have a habit of rubbing their noses with soot-covered fingers. In which case, EWww.

Female Roegadyn are the least popular race/gender combo, so I really hope they'll do some minor facelift. Perhaps give the two tribes some other minor difference, other than skin color table. Maybe somewhat pointier ears for Hellsguard while making them about 5-10% smaller (or larger) than Sea Wolves? Would that be enough change? Though I wouldn't say no to some curvier hips/glutes/thighs to go with those amazonian muscles.

To me at least it's pretty clear they're not human by the shape of their noses alone, but apparently some ppl still think they just look like more muscular humans.. I mean, sure, MINE DOES. Cause I made her that way. But literallyevery other face is closer to a fish or some other animal rather than a human.

Honestly I wish they had leaned more into Ursine features and made them a bit more animal-like rather than just "muscular humans". Galka tails would have been neat.

I’m sure they’re trying to do something with customization (yoshi mentioned midlander stubble specifically throughout late stormblood and shadowbringers) but something is holding them back. Whether that something be 1.0 spaghetti or unexpected bunny diversions I can’t say, but player customization —especially masculine— is severely lacking.

You can pry my black nostrils from my dead, cold hands. I love my derpy soot nose and will die with it, because it compliments my character's features and makes her into the true cutie she is. It just wouldn't be the same without the dark nose spot. I could get behind an option to toggle it on/off, but outright removal without discrimination? No thanks.

Also, how is this even vaguelly fish-like?

I mean FemRoe are never going to be a popular race, no use changing them to try and appeal to a wider audience.

Please no touchy, femroe are perfect the way they are. Hot and deathly. Truly swoon.

I miss my galka alt, which had this face...

*Reads OP's post* Hmm...

*Thinks for a minute* Hmmm?

*Shakes head violently* mhmm-mhmm

the dark spot is a clear indicator of where to boop though.

I suggest making a mega thread addressing this topoic on all races and keeping it bumped (if that's allowed)
