    Concerned about Limbal Rings on Au Ra...

    I appreciate the graphical update on the character models.

    I am very concerned about limbal rings on au ra... I like and prefer how bright they currently look, and hope the dev team can keep that element prominent on the new models. At first look, they seem to have been dulled out immensely for the update. If there is a way, please keep their glow in the new update.

    While I completely understand the appeal of the brightness behind the rings, I do think that the 'after' image here makes the colors look more natural. The colors used on the left look kind of jarring to me while the right looks more blended better.

    This. The left looks synthetic and the right looks like something that is natural.

    That's one of the reasons I like the old limbal rings better, tbh. It looks uncanny, and makes the Au Ras' eyes unique in comparison to the other races. Yeah the eyes'll be way prettier post update, but it makes the Au Ra slightly closer to a regular human in a game that already has most races boiling down to "human with animal ears" or "human but very huge/little"

    Like the texture, but what's with the weird bloom/photoshopped look to the face?

    You mean highlights on the face? They're adding more bloom and other stuff in the graphics update. (*´▽`*)

    I'm convinced those are two different eye options.
    I wouldn't put it past SE to have accidentally compared different things. Perhaps they intentionally wanted to show contrasting vs complimenting options. Or perhaps they made a mistake because they just couldn't remember what character creator options they used!

    I actually like the new limbal rings. I never realized how outdated and jarring they implemented a polygon to show that glow.

    It looks more natural now.

    I don't care about how natural it looks. I want it to be prosthetic looking.

    I love the new look because it's natural.
