Seeing so many ppl in the community being so apathetic & dismissive of something that is obviously very important for a large portion of the playerbase (especially in a game so heavily story & character-driven) is kinda more frustrating than the non-consensual plastic surgery my girl (& a lot of us) has had. It's like telling someone with depression to cheer/toughen up because "it's not that bad" or "other ppl have it worse".
(for context, my bun-girl uses face 4. The other bun-girl faces have had the expected glo-up ("looks the same but better" as I saw someone put it) but face 4's lips have completely changed shape. And sadly with the current restrictive CC locking features to specific faces there is no amount of fantasia I can throw at her that will let me slap face 1's lips (which look fairly similar to 4's current ones) onto face 4 so she looks like my character again... so RIP)
For ppl who didn't have much change on their character, aren't particularly attached to their character in the first place, or who get bored with theirs and fanta every few months, it might not seem like much for an issue. But for the ppl who are attached to their character (which is clearly a lot of ppl), it is a big deal (especially when they were under the impression that this wouldn't happen) & having others telling you to get over it, it's not that bad, to stop nitpicking/overreacting, you're just not used to it, etc (like I've seen a lot of ppl doing) just adds to the frustration.
How would you like it if you went to get a haircut/trim, somehow dozed off & woke up with implants that you definitely did not ask for? And then you had ppl tell you to stop overreacting when you try to explain how/why you're so upset about it?
If you're one of those folks that wasn't impacted that much by the update, that's great! But please, try not to downplay/dismiss other ppl's disappointment/frustrations. Most ppl here aren't complaining for the sake of complaining, they trying to give constructive feedback (often with examples) which is what the forums are for. And yes, not all feedback has to be negative & we're not saying don't share how much you love your character's new look, it's just not necessary (or helpful) to minimise other ppl's less-than-positive experiences in the process.
On a more positive note, really happy that there are so many ppl that are happy/content with their characters. In general, I think the update looks great so far (textures on the clothes look particularly good). Obviously it's not perfect, there's still quite a lot than could/should be improved/fixed but hopefully they will address the community's biggest concerns as soon as they're able. *huffs the copium* lol
Also, optimisation team seems to have done a really good job. I've seen a lot of happy comments from ppl, who were worried that their potato wouldn't be able to handle DT, having their benchmark results come back a lot higher than they expected![]()
