[Graphical Update Feedback] Eyes and Limbal Rings on Au ra

[VioletArrows]

Count me as someone who made a forum account just for this (and I've been playing for 3 years now). Some of us even put rp/lore reasons behind the bright limbal ring glow before there was an official explanation behind it. My Au Ra still has aether imbalances after Shadowbringers/Endwalker and the bright rings are one of the few ways to show that.

I like the new limbal rings. They align much more with what I wanted to achieve with my character when I made her; the new gradient effect is neat. I'd be ok with a toggle to turn the glow on and off, so people could utilize the kind they want, but overall I vastly prefer the new version.

First time using forums and I want to say that Id like it if they kept the old contrasting glow or even better - added a toggle so everyone is happy. I do sometimes play as an aura and this would mess up her eyes so i hope they add more options so everyone can be happy.

Chiming in to say I also hope the graphical update keeps (or at least allows the option for) the glowing effect to limbal rings! I think many of us chose limbal rings on our characters specifically because they give an otherworldly effect that is unique to au ra. I would hate to see such a striking feature removed from my character in the update.

I hardly ever use the forums but I'm also of the opinion that the glow ring should be kept. The update overall looks fine to me except for that. My au ra has white eyes with a bright red glow ring which I consider essential to her design.
The solution would be to just make the glow an optional toggle imo.

As an Au Ra main, I would be really sad if the hallmark limbal "glow" were removed. I think it's a fun and unique trait of the race. Similarly, I am concerned that in early pictures it appears that the black sclera for Xaela has also been removed. This is another trait that absolutely makes my character "look and feel" like himself. I love both the black sclera and glowing limbal rings, so I truly hope the graphical updates can maintain those two defining racial features!

My first ever post on the forums, I'm not particularly liking the updated Au Ra limbal rings. Like many others have discussed here I love how they have a harsh glow that makes them more unique. I however do understand the model of the current limbal rings are implemented quite choppy, and if the developers are working towards a more smoother and natural solution I can get behind that. However it should not come at the cost of taking away their unique aspect. I am thinking maybe it could be blended with the iris, but more harshly divided and still retaining glow. I hope the team takes this feedback on the forums as well as on social media.

I have an Au Ra side character and honestly at the very least I'd hope they'd consider adding a luminosity slider because I like my lizard's limbal rings as they are and I'd be sad to see them go I'm already a little bummed about the Miqo'te's eyes looking a bit darker than they used to be in the preview

[Naple]

This is easily solved by a luminosity slider. All they need to do is add that and you can make any color dull or neon.

It sounds easy to implement, but knowing SE they might have to go through x1000 spaghetti land mines to add such a feature to the character creator. If it's a decision between the new eyes or old eyes /w limbal rings, they will obviously just pick new eyes and not spend the effort implementing glow.

I really like how the new eyes look, I like how realistic they are, the characters really look alive now.
I'm just concerned about the limbal rings being so dark. I've always assumed they kind of reflected light rather than just being a lighter color than the rest of the iris.
