Thread: 7.0 Graphic Update - Elezen feedback

It doesn't matter if we're one of the least played races. Elezen will never overtake the Viera/Cat/Lizard/Lala/Hyur no matter what they do unless they make them generic elves. Look how many people beg for Hyur with pointy ears.

A lot of Elezen players like how we look and frankly, it's not our fault that people cannot make good looking glams. All gear looks good on Elezen if you know how to dress yourself.

My elezen looks..... okay (not necessarily better but I can cope) but my biggest complaint is actually the inverse of what my issue is with my main character (a roe).
I've found that my elezen's signature "raccoon eyes" are significantly lighter.. (As a result of the changed lighting) They look so much less devious

I also miss the static eye shiny but biggest complaint on my Elezen specifically is the eyeshadow facepaint I gave them is way too light now (it is on the darkest colour on the dark setting!)

I've been taking more screenshots tonight and I'll try to get those sorted out tomorrow, but one thing that particularly stood out to me is the lack of detail on a scar.

Specifically I've got a face #2 male Duskwight using the left cheek scar. The current version looks like it has depth to it while being a similar colour to the rest of his face, but the benchmark version just looks like a dark line painted on the surface with no texture to it at all.

I'm generally happy with how my elezen looks. I love his pale gold eyes, but with current graphics the lightness does have the unfortunate effect of making him look a bit absent, so I'm glad the update has given them life.

Admittedly, his lips have a noticeably different shape, but I think I prefer it that way. That said, I can understand being put off by that sort of the change.



One thing that does bother me is the eyebrows have a strange shape now. Before they had a very smooth curvature, but now they look oddly bumpy toward the outer part of the brow.

Also I notice that his face mark looks more washed out. I've noticed this sort of thing with any sort of dark marking on characters like hellsguard noses. I'd like it if they returned the boldness to these sorts of dark-colored marks.

Last thing, with the update his beard looks sparser in places. Especially on the sides of the chin you can see more of his skin underneath making it look patchy. I think it could use less transparency.

Thought I'd add my Elezen to the dedicated thread. I'm happy wth the update, but I feel like some of the gormlessness (which came from him being half lalafell) is lost

Already posted my main in the thread, but here's the changes on an elezen alt.

Her hair is pretty much ruined, the shine is gone.
