SE don’t forget certain complaints when updating the character graphics

[Oizen]

Just waiting for the whole "We read all the feedback players wanted for the graphical update and added the most requested item on the list. The game now has improved jiggle physics"

It be nice if physics didn't break in half above 60fps.

Better be butt jiggle physics. I want to be able to give my teammates a healthy "Good game!" upon completion.

People still thinking this graphic update is going to be anything other than post processing effects?

Not exactly odd for people to be thinking that, considering Yoshi-P has already shown examples of the graphics update in a live letter.

Updating player models is a very tricky proposition. You have to massively improve the fidelity of the model while still keeping the overall aesthetic as close as possible to the original. An asset could be duplicated almost perfectly in HD but not have the same "feel" as the original, so there's a lot of artistry involved. On top of that, "fixing" perceived problems with the model is even trickier because for every person who doesn't like X detail, such as the wide Elezen shoulders, there's another person who loves it just the way it is.

From what they've shown so far they seem to be on the right track, and it's not as much of a quantum leap as the WoW model upgrade from a few years ago, so I'm pretty confident they'll turn out great. I wouldn't hold your breath for any drastic changes to overall body proportions though.

Damn that's one hell of a shader.

Let's see how well that ends up being, pictures are all good, they always look absolutely amazing, however the end result is very often different and underwhelming

I'm sure no matter the result you'll find something to whine about.

Jiggle physics on everything. Including the things a lot of people don't want to jiggle...

However butt jiggle physics better also come with a green catsuit and butt jiggle gang emotes... >.>

And no matter the result you'll be happy about it

Right back at you

Sure I'll say it as weird as it sounds:

Can we ACTUALLY have bare feet instead of the forced sandals we get when we hide them.

And on top of that, can the textures of said feet actually, y'know, look good?

If I want to walk around barefoot, let me. LIKE EVERY OTHER GAME ON THE MARKET.

And gods forbid I use sandals or any open toe shoe/foot piece.

You will get clay blocks with 3 polygons total in your sandals and you will like it.
