Character graphical changes are NOT in an acceptable state, please make it optional

If they do decide to do something I at least hope they don't withold the update from everyone. Seeing how my character looked with the changes is the first thing that's actually gotten me excited for Dawntrail.

I suspect that this feeling is the main reason there are many people butting heads on this matter. Again, as someone who admittedly doesn't want these character changes at all, I fully believe, realistically, they're going to push out this update on time in one way or another. I don't believe a rollback is happening.

Instead I'd just like to reiterate on a point I attempted to make earlier: I just ask that you try to look at things with empathy. From your icon, I think your Seawolf is very handsome, and I don't doubt the update makes him look even cooler.

However, I just ask that you consider there are some people who had that same level of excitement as you do now suddenly stripped away in place of fear, because their characters weren't as lucky. They're small things, but would it not make the anticipation even a little worse for you if his smile caused his brow bone to clip into his eyes? Or if his hair suddenly had more gaps in it? Or if it now felt like he was forced to wear deep lipstick and eyeliner no matter what you do?

I apologize if these come off as attacks, I only mean to ask them as small, random references for consideration. When I say "far more people likely enjoy how their characters look now, than those who like the changes" I mean that the former sentiment includes even those who do like the changes, if that makes sense.

The changes everyone's asking for, would, ideally, keep characters you believe look beautiful in the current update looking beautiful after any changes. Especially if you think there aren't many differences. We just want all cases to be able to keep the facial features and impressions they have now, so that even those you feel are silly can go into a new adventure with excitement alongside you, rather than against.

Currently, I'm very much not eager to play my characters in a state I feel downgraded them, which is how I assume you'll feel if they need to take things back a notch temporarily. But, I mean...I'm willing to deal with it if we're communicated with for once. If they're listening, and caring, and if it's going to take longer than 2 months, I want to know, and I want updates. I think we all do.

Nobody wants to wait through silence during several month patch cycles just hoping and guessing.
