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

I'd check it in the creator using gridania, as I find that to be the most representative of in game lighting.

There's definitely a lot of change though, but overall I like my character more in the new look.

Face 6 midlander doesn't seem to be affected that much.

Folks realize they aren't going to make drastic changes in two months right? Early access is 6/28. This is what we're getting.

If they need more time to iron out the issues, they should delay the character upgrades to a later patch.

Personally, I am blown away. I'm beyond happy, and very excited for the update. If anything, I wish that the hair texture resolution had been bumped up even further, but I understand we have limitations.

I think the main thing people don't really understand is how much the lighting in the game has completely changed. Your eye glints and glossy lips are still there (you can see them in my photo!) they're just more realistic looking, and will look different than before, depending on the lighting situation.

That being said, omg save Moonkeepers fangs! Riot until they bring them back!!

I wholeheartedly agree with this. I said before that racial traits have to be kept.

The more I look at it, the more I dislike it. While personally my character doesn't look that different, the lighting, shading and (lack of) shadows are horrendous. And just like many others, where did my upper lip go?
Many other characters however look completely different, some of my friends are quite upset. I wish we could toggle between old and new models if this does not get fixed in the next 2 months.

I’m writing on the forum for the first time because I couldn’t ignore this topic. I'm definitely disappointed with the character's graphical update. The character in the update looks like a faded copy of the original.
I feel upset about pretty much everything:
- Skin and hair color changes;
- No shine\gloss on lips and hair;
- Nose form change (previously, the character had a small crease on her nose);
- No proper shadows (might be benchmark issue? idk) so character look kinda "flat";

So I feel my character like it's 2D, kinda "flat". I wish they would keep everything like it was before just with new textures.
