Petition to fix Miqo'te Face 2 Eyebrows

[RedLolly]

Snip.

I was in favor until I started playing one. That's the difference. I see her emote and move and instead of being weirded out like everyone insist I should be, I find her charming and fun and full of personality, mischievous. Between her sharp, surime eyes and fangs, she has the best facial sculpt I could ask for.

So no, I DON'T want it changed, but I wholly sympathize that it totally is different from the look from 6.55 and earlier and that it sucks BAD that the old look was deleted. But, just as selfishly as those that demand the sculpt be changed, I don't want my current avatar changed because of aesthetic opinions.

There's no way to make everyone happy outside of just adding more options. That's it. Keep what we have, add what was lost.

I'm sorry but you can't claim precedence over this, and even less so over a glitch, and it's frankly crummy to boot. You were even pointed at older options that had that sharp shape, all miqo'te faces have it. If they have to adjust one of the older eyebrows to have that shape (there was already one anyway, I believe old option 3 for the thin, sharper one), then so be it and everybody is happy. Heck if they did this they'd actually also fix the texture so your sharp eyebrow shape would also actually regain its hairy details as well.

My WoL finally clicked into place after trying this face out multiple times over the years I've played FFXIV, and only after the eyes, nose, lips, brows, stripes, and textures implemented in Dawntrail did that happen. I'm not going to feel bad for enjoying myself and being upset I am is strange.

I still want to encourage the devs to add more options to give everyone here what they want, because that's what we deserve.

I would like to start this off by saying that i stopped subbing because i am completely unhappy with this and do not wish to continue playing the game when my character is not the one i started with. But some of the things said here recently missed the mark so much that i felt forced to respond too.

I dont see a difference ... this is a non-issue.

There's a whole thread talking about this on a variety of different races which have been patched. Some are still missing and this thread is the result of the missing ones.
If you don't see a difference maybe actually check all the clear-cut evidence in this thread?

Is this your technique to try and strongarm/bully SE into implementing the change you're hoping for? Keep bumping this thread endlessly every day or so until they comply?

We aren't asking to "implement a change." We are asking to fix a bug. Your very specific wording to minimalize our issue throughout your post with such language has been duly noted though.

this is a non-issue.

People are invested in these issues and there's been countless threads throughout all the forums about these small bugs that occured. And only some of them have been fixed. But they were all non-issues? The exact same bugs happening on other peoples face were important but this one isn't? I don't see that logic at all, i apologize.

They made a change to the race's image

They experienced a bug while updating which has been pushed back for other things. And it wasn't said early enough to be in the small wave of facial fixes. Sorry, had to clarify again since you deliberately used "change" again.

you don't like that change.

Bug.

Time to move on and let other threads take the top page because quite frankly I'm just tired of seeing this constantly bumped up to the top.

It's a bug and we are bumping a bug. I am also tired of having my characters look bugged. Which has more weight?

I'm certain they have seen this brought up ... Sometimes you just have to move on.

Tried, as you can see from my avatar, but can't. My character is dear to me, and i love the game, but cannot enjoy it. Feels more like an imposter is acting as my character than it being my character.

The simple fact that you need to put a magnifying lense over your character to even see the minute differences being brought up here is a textbook example of a bug that falls into this category.

Others in the same category have been fixed. Races that are much less played and had much less people mentioning them. This was the wave of fixes in the beginning and we were unlucky to not have someone mention Miqo in that time. There are more such small bugs being fixed continuously. We just actually don't know if they still know about it. Hence the bumping.

[Metool42]

But it ISN'T bugged, thinking they look unattractive isn't a BUG, it's an opinion. This whole graphical update debate is a bunch of players voicing their opinions.

It really, really, truly is a bug. This has been dissected in many unspeakable ways and it really is bugged. The eyebrows are squished together for some odd reason. This is a mapping error that can be remedied very quickly. A skilled dev could do this within minutes.

I am all for you having your preferred face. But how is it then fair that i played since ARR, with my characters face, and it now being bugged? Why do i have to live with it even though it's been my character with this exact face for a decade when you fantasiad into it recently?
I am genuinely not trying to downplay you, i also agree there should be more options. But this is an actual, genuine bug. This has been proven by multiple ways.

Absolutely i am for you having fun and enjoying the game. But it shouldn't rob me of this fun and enjoyment either, should it?
I would also like to add that two of the five look already similar unbugged, just that their emotes actually all work correct. Which is possibly cause for this being marked as low priority.

IMPORTANT NOTE!!!

Under "Resolved Issues" at the bottom of the patch notes, reads this:




I'll wait until I see what they look like ingame after the patch of course, but..!

I threw together this quick picture of how all the new eyebrows look in 7.4. I expect there will be a much better example posted later so this is just if anyone is curious and unable to log in yet.

Ordered 1-5, I can't notice any significant changes at a tired glance but I'll let everyone affected be the judge.

[Metool42]

I notice some changes on my character, but it is still a far shot from what it is supposed to be.



Not sure why they didn't fix it all the way. They made it an actual eyebrow, but the curve is still missing on those that had it.

[MayuAmakura]

Those changes from your image @Metool42 look good no? I can see clearly that eyebrows now go straight and she looks more "angry" style than before. Is this how it's supposed to look or needs more work? I'd say this looks nice. Just let's hope they change other things as well such as infamous Hyur eye bags on face 1...

Sadly no. We want the 6.58 version back The angry eyebrows are the bugged version. It was still working in the very first Dawntrail Benchmark, but after that it got bugged and we got something akin to the 7.4 one. They fixed parts of it, as in the inner parts are now thicker and closer to the original, but it is still not curved as it should be.
I am trying desperately to get them to fix the curve so my character doesn't permanently look annoyed anymore.

It's better. Before it was literally just a drawn-on line which looked utterly ridiculous, now at least it looks like an eyebrow. But the curve to just make her the friendly goober she was before is still missing and that makes me incredibly sad.

There's quite a few still having issues with DT changes and it's honestly just kind of ridiculous at this point. They might be working on something else entirely, sure, but SOME transparency would be nice. ANY. I wouldn't mind stepping back and chilling out if they'd at least say they've heard all these issues and they'll fix them in the future. But nothing.
