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

[Nicola_Kunu]

Now compare it to DT where they have warned about the graphic overhaul... this benchmark is released about just 2 and a half month prior to its actual release? I'm just beyond amazed.

Due to the sheer density of feedback that's cropped up on the forum over the past... 3 days? I think it's unfortunate but realistic to say that not everything will be addressed.
Hopefully there are one or two people in SQuenix that are collecting and prioritising the issues people have, but realistically... Dawntrail is going to be content locked in-house a month if not more before release. Artists will not be in the office pushing the latest lip or eyelash fix to the main dev branch 3 days before release. Nothing short of critical issues will be adjusted in the release build in the last 2-4 weeks before July 2nd.

I can see some of the majorly visually incorrect stuff being fixed in time (like the dead eye Lalafells and Keeper fangs), but if they choose to fix anything else, I can imagine it'd be in waves of patches following Dawntrail's release where they'd fix a batch of issues at a time - artist work would be split between patch content and graphical update fixes.
Or not at all.

I got lucky with my Miqo'te, I'm happy with the result but would still want to see the model in-game. But I empathise with people who are upset over the more drastically visible and unwanted changes they have received, I get commissions of my character and fuss over small details myself.

Please, try to tell me that they are similar.

They are similar. I'll go one further, they are very similar.

Are they identical? Well no, the face on the right to me looks a little rounder, the hair is a different, greyer hue, the eyes are a little more widely spaced.

I hope they can tweak those things for you, but to insist they don't look similar is wild.
