Keeper fangs nerfed in the update

[LordMcMutton]

This really reads to me as just haphazard use of a Subdivision Surface modifier, or the equivalent in whichever tool the devs use.

Oftentimes, without proper modifications, simply applying it will result in loss of peaks and valleys, so to speak, in a mesh's silhouette as it adds more geometry and smooths out the resulting shape

If that's true, it means they'll likely catch it and fix it, so hopefully I'm on the right track

I registered for the first time after ten years (!!!) just to add my voice to the litany of complaints about the graphical rework as pertains to Keepers. I was happy with everything I was seeing in the benchmark, but then I saw this and I can't ignore it! SQEX, please don't take my teef away! These were ultimately what made me decide on being a Keeper instead of a Seeker a decade ago and is simply an indelible part of my avatar's image!

I need to lend my voice as well. I admit I have never been too attached to the fangs but they did give character. It is the sole distinguishing mark that we Keepers have and it's a core part of many a characters identity.

Taking them away just won't stand.

Just adding my voice - like so many others I absolutely love my fangs, they're the distinctive feature of keepers and a much loved part of character's identity!! Great job on so much - but we need our fangies!

I also noticed, that the fangs on my male keeper of the moon character seems to have problems in the benchmark. The fangs look really blunt, and they seem to point outwards from the mouth compared to the other teeth, which makes them look kind of weird. Unfortunately it's almost as if they aren't actually proper fangs anymore, but some kind of dental issue. I'm also not sure if it's just me, but the new fangs seem to be slightly more further apart from each other (probably due to the fangs pointing outwards), so it's harder to see them when the mouth is open.

To me, and probably many other keeper of the moon players, the fangs are THE charm point of our characters. I wish the devs would use some more time to fix them, so that our fangs would be nice and sharp, and easier to see. I also wish, that they would not point outwards so much. The fangs are important to us, please help!

I noticed the Hrothgals have a lot of fangs so maybe they stole them :O

I was also bummed out to see that Keeper fangs got nerfed. Overall, I thought my character looked amazing in the new benchmark, so this is just a tiny thing, but it's so important for Keeper identity!

It was immediately noticeable to me that my fangs look shorter and blunted and the positioning had changed. The fangs are a HUGE part of why I chose Keeper of the Moon and so did my spouse (who is a Keeper of the Moon as his main character).

I have multiple alts that are female Keeper of the Moon and my most treasured character is this Keeper of the Moon male. I know you are busy with MANY changes but it would break my heart if you leave his teeth looking short and blunt like this. I could never Fantasia him to another race, as being Keeper of the Moon is key to his story.

It brings me much joy when I see the fangs in cutscenes and emotes. The cuteness factor is very much connected to how sharp they look - here are the smallest, sweetest looking characters and then you catch a glimpse of deadly sharp fangs. It's a real charm point. I enjoy seeing this on my own characters, other player characters and NPCs. It is our defining special feature - the Seekers of the Sun get the slit pupils, we get the fangs.

Please give us the long sharp fangs back - preferably curving inwards again too if you can. Thank you for reading and listening to us.

Plus 1 here as well. New canines are almost nonexistant. I am sure they knew there would be a rush of art corrections when this benchmark came out and am 95% certain nothing is baked in yet and they have time to make some corrections based on player feedback. This should be in the top 3 or 4 that need fixing and I think it would be an easy fix for the graphics artists.

Another +1 for moonkeeper fangs! It's why we roll Moonkeeper, we want big round kitty eyes and sharp pointy teefs!~
