    Can you tell me why? I saw you being super rude in another character discussion thread so I’m inclined to think you’re just being contrarian or trolling for reactions. I’ll let you have the benefit of the doubt tho and ask you why you feel the middle image objectively looks better than the image on the right?

    The ideal solution would be to add the new models alongside the old ones and expand the character creator so people can pick whichever they want. But, bad code or something, I guess.

    I think at least fixing how some lighting conditions affect some characters would do a lot already, there are certain areas for example where the sun shines from above on the character's eyes and it looks extremely weird, which was also present before but wasn't as extreme, while in other places or usually when in some insides the changes feel way better because the lighting is working with them and not against.

    Yeah, that would definitely go a long way. Overhead lights look especially awful on aura F4 after the update with the cheeks looking permanently sunken (Looks even worse with SSAO, which is off in all of these), and the way skin textures interact with lights even makes the skin look like sandpaper.



    Another disappointing thing is, horns and glasses cast bad looking pixelated shadows over your characters face post lighting update, but wide-brimmed hats don't cast any shadows at all. You can't even hide from the bad lighting with a wizard hat.

    Well, to be honest: cursed lighting conditions exist IRL as well.
    There is a reason why lighting for movies is considered an art form. :'D

    I just want my old fps back. Since the graphics update my game has been stuttering like crazy esp on populated areas.
    While I don’t mind the esthetics of the new models, I would gladly trade it for more frame stability. I wish they gave us a toggle for it, so those with 4090’s can enjoy the new models and those of us with popoto pc can also enjoy the game.

    Me, as someone with a 2080TI, I absolutely hate how the game makes my fans sound like an airplane about to take off. I'd love the old graphics option for those who don't want to set their PC on fire

    Very true. I think the difference though is that in a game world, they have some level of influence on it and can tweak things to look better in a wider spectrum of situations. They can fudge things to behave differently for the sake of better visuals. I would like to see them change how sun hits players in game. It looks more even and softer in the character creator, but much harsher in game, with some serious lighting bugs too. Here’s some examples:

    Inside CC

    In game

    As you can see, the reverse side of hair here is nearly solid black, instead of warmly lit like in the cc.


    Gpose no lights

    Gpose with light sources toggled

    Glowing hair and light shining through the head and lighting areas that shouldn’t be.

    Needs some work.

    Your char is holding a white lightning bug in her mouth >.> but honestly the lighting borked in all kinds of ways, just had an alt have a scene with Kanne-E-Senna in it and she had a a weird triangle of bright light between her eyes/on her nose. Also she and her sister (don't remember her name) have these massive eyebags now that make em look like they haven't slept for a week.
