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

also +1 to not liking the changes different colors, dead eyes, eyelashes make her look too barbie-fied, bigger nose, awful lip shading/shape... i miss the facial brightness too!!

I must say, that in your particular case... It made your character look, well, it might sound harsh but the combination of skin tone and lack of light in the eyes, she almost looks like a zombie in the benchmark... But in the live build, she looks very much alive. I don't think a graphical update should zombifie certain people's characters...

The lighting in the character creator there is PAINFULLY yellow. It's uncanny.

Definitely not the end all be all crux of the issue, but let's just say the color of the lighting isn't helping things. The CC is all kinds of scuffed.

I don't think the waxy skin is byproduct of computer specs, i am running 7800X3D & 7900 XTX and scoring 31k points in the benchmark. I tried all the character creation lightning and the benchmarks with 0/50/100 gamma correction but it's all very awful for my character.

i TOTALLY agree, i used no shaders and i feel like every color just blended together in the benchmark! i thought i picked a sun seeker at first lmao

Seems Keeper Face 3 got hit pretty bad. Especially clan marks are an other issue on Face 3. While the other faces on Keeper have their marks partly more visible, Face 3 has them almost not visible at all anymore.
For my Face 3 Mooni during the close up in the benchmark when the ears are not visible she almost looks like a normal Midlander due to the clan marks being barely visible. And this feels extremely off...

As for the eyes...well. It's not as bad during the Benchmark itself but it's still slightly noticable with the eyes since they deffo lost their liveliness and look empty like "I've seen things...". It looks especially horrible with the Shroud lighting tho, I had better results with the Thanalan lighting. But the overall problem with the eyes is still present just not as bad.
