Dawntrail character graphics update - opinions, requests and discussion megathread

[Neytirhi]

I looked at some Endwalker pics, and gosh the eyebrow color change is such a bother. They're just invisible comparatively. Some comparison pics (sorry they're not as good. The emotes don't really look quite the same anymore so it's harder to get matching angles).I know the skintone is different, I changed it to a bit warmer for Dawntrail, so don't mind that.

Hey there ! I've been following your bug reports since Benchmark 1.1, I have the same issue as you with my miqo'te and I'm devastated.

I just can't start the MSQ with that face... I even had the early access, but come on... cutscenes looking eyebrowless?? No way!

I also tried the other faces and the other tribe and just as you said, it feels so unfair that we're the only one with this issue ; and since the same face for the Seekers have eyebrows that looks just fine/other faces have the right color, I'm convinced it's a bug, not a choice. Even more when you see that in Benchmark 1.0, there was no issue with that.

EW Face :


Benchmark 1.0 Face :


DT :


I was so happy with 1st Benchmark....


My other complain is about emotes/face in general, as many : I have to change so many portraits because now they looked super weird. For instance the taunt emote looks dumb now for some reason and gives a super puffy face.

I don't have an HQ version of it in EW since I could'nt possibly think I would need to take a proper screenshot of it before DT (it's from team portraits so it is small),
but here is a comparison of my BM portrait in EW vs in DT, using the taunt emote :



DT just gives "i'm so tired huhu" vibes... ugh (and eyebrows gone on vacations doesn't help ovbiously)
I don't have screens of the worst portait because I changed it right away, it looked terrible after DT (but again the same tired vibe & puffy).


So in conclusion, my character in DT looks now eyebrowless and like a hamster with cheeks filled with food, and I should do MSQ looking like this? Heck no!


How can we make things change and reach SE efficiently?? I'm desperate...... Feels like they don't care about those bug reports
Is there anyone talking about the eyebrows in the japanese bug report forum?
