Character graphical changes are NOT in an acceptable state, please make it optional

Seeing so many ppl in the community being so apathetic & dismissive of something that is obviously very important for a large portion of the playerbase is kinda more frustrating...

I could not agree more, especially since I've seen everyone being rather respectful with their feedback, while trying to battle with the heavy feelings of it... At times it seems like folks are trying to gaslight people into believing they're not seeing something that they're clearly seeing. No one is going after the folks that are saying that they like their characters in the threads, but everyone trying to point out clear flaws are constantly getting told "it looks better now" "It looks the same" and it's feeling severely disrespectful.

Seeing so many ppl in the community being so apathetic & dismissive of something that is obviously very important for a large portion of the playerbase (especially in a game so heavily story & character-driven) is kinda more frustrating than the non-consensual plastic surgery my girl (& a lot of us) has had. It's like telling someone with depression to cheer/toughen up because "it's not that bad" or "other ppl have it worse".

The way people conduct themselves and give feedback here compared to the JP thread almost gives me whiplash, to be honest.

The difference is that on JP they made half-way decent looking characters at the /least/ so they're starting from a good basis rather than taking bad looking characters and demand Square fix something that can't be fixed.

You're consistently incredibly unpleasant & rude and should get your forum access revoked at this point.

Agreed. I also can't not laugh at them confidently telling other people their character designs are bad and copy pasted in a game that has like 10 customization options lol

I feel like our forums would be fine if people that have nothing to say didn't come in an distract from the conversation. The JP side don't have the same trolls from what I've seen, and people certainly are not telling people that the changes are all in their head.

sadly just how it is when there is major outcry in the community, people walk in just to disagree for attention and don't contribute anything constructive to the discussion.

Hard agree. I feel like alot of people come in with 'it looks the same to me' meanwhile playing a whole different race- provides no feedback and just waters down any feedback thread into an argument on whether or not it is the same. There has been some helpful posts about gamma etc, but most issues seem to stem from SHAPE changes- the light could be hot pink and neon blue and I'd still notice the changes. How would anyone be able to make sense of anything when potential feedback is buried under a mountain of petty arguments. More and more I feel really discouraged by the coming of DT.

Don't feel discouraged. I was getting really stressed by this circus over here so I took the time to go into the JP thread and they have absolutely been giving the same feedback as us. Even me, who has a very specific complaint about Face 2 femroe, found multiple people that made posts about my worries that got a relatively high amount of upvotes. I'm sure that everyone from the more played races will have their complaints either addressed or at least acknowledged. I only went out of my way to read the Roegadyn posts, but I saw so many of other races with detailed pictures and drawings.

My best advice is to report the people being willfully antagonistic, don't reply to them. Upvote folks with good well thought out posts that have shown the issues to make sure those posts get the devs attention, and take care of yourself by walking away from time to time cause it's mentally taxing in here.
