Thread: 7.0 Graphic Update - Elezen feedback

Also, just really disappointed in the lips overall, especially for the females. Everyone else get more ‘natural’ or even ‘dewy’ looking lips where they fade softly, but the elezens are still stuck with a harsher line. Even on the ‘doll like’ face where you previously had a softer, more blended lip if you didn’t apply lipstick, it’s now this very defined line all around. Like somebody mentioned before, ‘light’ lipstick doesn’t exist anymore. The lip additionally - as a consequence of this change - loses the small curve that actually made it look like a friendly smile.


Same exact mouth, by the by.


The newfound perpetual 'smile' on the second male face is also a bit unwelcomed on some characters (though I guess it’ll benefit other characters). When talking about it with my friends, the general feedback is that the male elezens look ‘younger’ and less ‘stern’, which honestly feel like it’s the opposite of what they wanted when they matured up the WOL.

And, of course, I’ll still be a bit sad that the fact that you still can’t wear mascara as a female duskwight. =__= But that’d be an added thing to the character creator, and I guess the effort was not seen as important enough, compared to adding two new faces to the male hyur. *grumble grumble, petty petty, just deep down jealous*

Some hairstyles are oddly darker for no apparent reason? I never understood why we needed 4 of THIS particular hairstyle to begin with (yes, I see the hairpins change colour, alright, I get that), but they have always been the same hue of haircolour before, though? Why the difference now?




And then there are some hairstyles, that seem to no longer be ‘fitted’ very well for the face, clipping into it. I hope this is something temporary that will be fixed, because it’s actually one of the nicer hairstyles.

(note the way it clips into the forehead)

OTHER than that, I think the game has really lifted overall! I'm looking forward to playing it, and what can't be fixed, I guess I'll work around/learn to live with!

Alright, I think that was all for now.
Bitter old lady out!
/rant.

Genuinely dislike it.

So, hmm. In general I like it.
Before:




After:



Just looks a lot nicer to me in a lot of small ways. UNFORTUNATELY: there is a problem with the best haircut in the game, my character's iconic look, the shaved hair. Namely they added an inexplicable parting.



This is Just Bad in a way that has me like ???? - this is not what a shaved head looks like?!

Isn't the first case I've seen of this today, someone derped up with the texture application or the model itself needs to be fixed to fit the new textures. Really no excuse for it to be put out looking like that though.

I'm not really mad, it is a pretty rare hairstyle that already barely works with most hats. I'm just like, come on man.

(I like the new mouth animations though. Sorry!)

Oh damn lol. Looks like they mirrored the texture there and it somehow messed with the lighting. (The old version appears to be made the same way but it is lit correctly).

Made a gif of my character to see the differences, the one with the face selection at the top is the new.

Overall it looks like they pulled the face back upwards for the new, you can see how the lips seem to go upwards more into a smile, the eyebrows upwards, and the shadows under the brow I didn't notice as prominently until now. It looks like they congregated the brow shadows into a smaller blob at the top of the eyes rather than more towards the nose.

Also realized that they decreased the amount of eye bags, and ironically gave duskwight eyebags instead lol.

Yeah, I'm not happy with the change.

My elf looks absolutely fantastic, cannot wait for the graphics update!
