Raen Scales in the Graphic Update

[precognitional]

Let me start with I am extremely glad that the devs took the feedback on the limbal rings.

Unfortunately, I set up an account specifically to talk about the raen aura graphic update previews.

Before anyone misconstrues this: I think the texture itself is great! I like that you can see more details, and it is more clear visually. My issue lies with the new color of the raen scales. They have lost a significant amount of color, the males especially have had their scales desaturated by a very visible degree as the hue has also been shifted to a cooler tone. However, on many previews warm tones became cooler tones, I do not know if this is a lighting issue or if this was an intentional change in the palette of the game. I would like to say that the female scales I think are mostly fine, even if I do not like how pale they are now. The only thing I would like to point out is that the white outlines on the scales really hurt the look of the scales and make the texture look sort of scratchy. My main issue (predictably) is for the male raen. Personal opinions aside, as I obviously prefer the original warm-toned color! I am concerned the grey horns will just look muddy in-game. If they were lighter, had more contrast, perhaps I would feel different even if I miss my warm tones.

I really love the yellow/goldish color, and I understand not everyone does but, I chose raen for the gold scales. If I wanted a different look I would have chosen Xaela.
Anyways, I just hope that the devs might reconsider this, or address why the change was made.
