Benchmark/Graphics Update - Show your WoL's before and after

[GH0ST]

And yes I ran the benchmark (multiple times in fact) so I don't wanna hear the "oh try it on bench surely it will look better there and will feel like your character."

And just cuz people thinks it looks better to them you aren't playing their character you are not them as some people in the forum has stated.

Then, please, be so kind and don't depreciate people feelings. Because that's exactly what you're doing now. And I want to be honest, I don't care how good my character looks to you. This is my character. She was made by me and for me. If to me she now looks like a plastic doll with a mutilated lower part of her face, that’s because it is so. I'm not making this up, I'm not imagining it, I see it with my own eyes.

I don't really think anyone particularly cares whether you think their character looks great or not, it just does not look like their character anymore.
I don't care how you feel about my character, i did not make my character for you. You won't be playing as my character.

It doesn't for me. This literally looks and feels like a face 2 clone which no I don't want to have the same face as fish face (which me and my friends call it) other wise I would have picked it when I first swapped when they were introduced in the game in HW.

-Eye shape has been altered, losing the sharp edge of eye shape which I loved and the eyes appear to be staring soullessly as opposed to the pleasant resting stare that I felt with the original. There is also more prominent eye bags which I don't like as well.

- Eyes are more further apart as well as larger giving her a bug eye look compared to the sharpness I liked from before. (I tried another eye option but, she looks sleepy and not narrowed like before which is a no).

-Lips literally look like she is forever doing duck lips. And lost the sharpness of her lips overall and the lower lip looks like she has lip filler. I have tried the other ones they are just as bad. I rather liked the less glossy lip texture as well. Upper lip also lost the very sharp curve like viera did which is also not cool.

-Jaw/Cheeks looks like she got stung by a bee which I also had my friends look at the two pictures of her as well and this thing. She also lost the sharpness of the face which I am extremely sad about as well and that's what made me like face 1 so much is cuz it's similar to face 4 for the sharp face and how it's not round like 2 or 3. Her chin also lost the sharpness I liked as well and seems to be elongated as well which I am not happy about as well.

I don't want to swap to a race I don't like which is a majority of them.

Aside from the pupil size, they look exaclty the same imo. I think you're being overcritical, because I'm not seeing what you're seeing.

To reiterate these quotes from what you should have read, there are people in the forum are reacting negatively to the benchmark updates rather than positive. So while yes you feel like nothing has changed which you are entitled to your opinion, you aren't playing our characters and know their identity/personality.

Overall, there is change and while yes the benchmark is not set in stone there are problems both JP and NA have brought up. If this is what they have to show then I as well as others whom express how we feel in this forum aren't happy with the changes or something seems off.

You're spot on with the changes. You're not crazy and you're character does give off a different look because of the change to make au ra more "cutesy" and some design decisions e.g. larger pupils, mouth changes, eye shape changes etc.

You can see a before and after of your character here (with an image slider):https://imgsli.com/MjU2NzUx. Use the image slider and go over the blue coloured eye (or the red one) and you'll see the difference.

It really shows how the eye shape has changed e.g. smaller and the top eyelashes are less pronounced. I really dislike the large pupils too. They've been made to look more "cutesy" which is why some people have trouble spotting the differences - either because they've not used that face before or they're somehow face blind.

The AuRa neck seam is still there lol

Post your WoL's before and after, and how you feel.



I'm honestly not sure how I feel about this, the lips are too weird and the hair seems a bit too bright. I like the neck scales though.

I like the new updated look over the old.

What about in different light, can you not change the background like in the standard character creator, I haven't finished downloading the benchmark yet so I can't check.

You can, but in the case of my character it turns her ugly



I think it's the lips, I miss the gloss and shadow in-between the lips.

I'm happy with it.
