Player Housing is way too bright now.

Ok finally found my screenshots… top pic is EW, lighting at 2. Bottom is DT, lighting at 1.

The graphical Update is only good in the world itself on environment. I actually like how the world itself looks a lot and it runs well performance wise, However...

Character models and Interior Housing have been ruined

I desperately plea that they revert all the changes and textures/models of players and all housing furnishings that are indoor. PLEASE! I beg of you. Furnishings are making it so places where me and friends used to have 60 fps we now have 15 fps. Builds that had certain lighting and colors / themes for interior housing design now are ruined. We built our housing builds based on how the lighting effects looked at the time and now this effectively pulls the rug out from under anyone that has a build they purchased or commissioned from a housing designer.

I don't even want the slot increase if me and my friends can't enjoy our time in the house anymore because something is killing our FPS. Maybe it's because you changed Luminous Wooden Loft to produce weird yellow FPS KILLING light that makes a once beautiful combo become ugly as heck. Combo being Luminous wooden loft above Eulmoran Marble Flooring. This combo once looked great but now it kills your FPS while looking horrible. WHY? Please just revert the graphics update for Interior Housing and Character Models. Miqo'te Female Face 3 Mouth 4 got her lips mutilated by botched plastic surgery and i might quit the game because of it unless a modder makes a mod for old character models and i start modding. I might get depressed and be forced to move on to a different game after thinking this was my home where i could stay and be happy the way things were.

I love this game and i almost feel like someone is trying to make us all quit by changing the faces of our characters when we didn't ask for it. I don't like my miqo'te anymore. She's a fake. I want my character back.

Suggesting i try the free fantasia adds insult to injury. I guess I have to let Feathetaria die and rest in peace because this isn't my character anymore.

PLEASE just add some settings in graphics similar to "Movement Physics" and "Shadows" Sections that have Options such as Display or Hide, and Self / Others. You NEED to allow us to opt in or out of this graphical update. I hate my characters lips, now, and Fantasia won't fix it. Considering quitting unless a modder makes a mod for old models

Please allow us to opt in for the graphics update in settings for the world, the lighting, the character models and interior housing. We need 4 separate options.

here is a comparison of my FC Room, both are with lights turned to 0

[MAJRIS]

any gamma settings that could help with gaining the depth in dark-lit rooms?

Not in my experience. I have one dark build and turning gamma down doesn't do anything to help the relative contrast problem.

Sure the whole screen gets darker, but that includes the light sources we want to actually highlight in these bullds.

The problem isn't just the the whole room has a bright haze applied to it, it's that materials aren't correctly reflective anymore. Unlike the rest of the old areas where there is too much senseless reflective glare in places that don't make sense, in houses surfaces have seemed to reject custom light almost completely or some light sources are now totally overwhelmed by others.

My house looks nothing at all like what I designed now. It's like a burglar broke in and tore the place up. It's insulting and offensive.

Sharing pictures too so hopefully this gets addressed ASAP, I used to love my house and this update completely ruined it.

Old:


New:


These pictures are with the exact same conditions, Lighting at 0, no gpose, no filters.

IT'S BAD. The atmosphere in the player house is completely different. It should not be this bright on light 0. I changed the gamma from 50 to 0 and that seems to of gotten me sort of close to where we used to be, but, it messes with the rest of the game >.< .
The floors don't even look the same, they got like a glaze over them or something? BUT YEAH, maybe this is some kinda bug, b/c it's not the same as the rest of the game.

Side note: That space is so nice. omg love it!!

[Ayan_Calvesse]

Easy Fix.

Please allow us to set house lighting to negative values to actually darken the house. Many of us turn the lights to zero to control what light sources we are using - under the new system it feels like there is "light" coming out of nowhere to illuminate the space.

So just allow us to turn lights to -1 to actually "darken" the room or even -2 for near pitch black..
