Dawntrail character graphics update - opinions, requests and discussion megathread

[Edith_Greystone]

My character has become a stranger, I can't get used to his changes. I will stop my subscription form this month. The following will briefly add some feedback related to Aura male.

This is a comparison of all the eye shapes of Face 1.


I'm type 4, and I can feel his eyes getting smaller.
- Pupil size issue, I filed a bug report and still haven't gotten a reply.
- The colour of the Limbal Ring is not as strong as before.


Eye makeup was removed. This should be a problem for all of us, including NPCs
- Missing eye line
- Eyelashes have become fewer and shorter
- Eyebrows are thinning out
- Eyelashes drooping


On face 1 for the scales on his forehead, as seen in the before and after comparison, the shape has changed drastically. I prefer the old one.

About Limbal ring
Before 7.0, when you entere GPose, reduce the Manual Brightness Adjustment to 0, and enabled one camera light, it would cause a glow. However, in 7.0, there is only a little or no light at all. They removed/reduce the glow of the Limbal Ring.

* Lighting on the side

* Lighting on the front


I chose the limbal ring because I like how it glows all the time, but 7.0 nerfed it a lot...

While I've been enjoying the graphics update a lot in general, I have to say that I'm a bit miffed that they still haven't updated the textures at all on Viera ears. They now look to be of notably lower resolution than the various hairstyles.

The new patch has some lighting and shadowing fixes. I am curious how it looks.



Cheers

Another update and absolutely no fixes, and even worse, no communication in regards to anything that was brought up in the many threads across all of the official forums. My character is a huge part of why I liked and played the game, and Imho, their silence is unacceptable. So, in light of everything, I am voicing my protest with my wallet, and am unsubbing for the first time since I started playing back in stormblood.

It is pretty unacceptable to release a major game changing feature so obviously half done. This is not really a cheap game, and they aren't a small underfunded studio either. I refuse to pay to beta test a product.

Do better.

I got Castrum Abania in roulette and we were sitting down waiting for someone at the last boss...so I decided to do what I do best, look at other people and I didn't expect to see this. Is there a hole in his hat? Where is this light that's falling on his eyes coming from. I'd submit a bug report but idk what piece of gear is that and yeah well.

Every hat is affected by this. And this error was also before 7.x. Here an older picture of my bard alt:



It is the same behavior, that the hat is transparent to light sources. But i do not think, that they will fix it.

Oh that's interesting...I never actually noticed and in your picture it doesn't look 'too jarring' to me...I never wore hats personally so I never took a closer look.

Hmmm... so it's more just that the brim doesn't cast a shadow, and maybe in that screenshot the character chanced to be on the edge of a sunlit/shadowed area.
