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

Thank you, I appreciate your answer, what different opinions we have. That's probably why it looks new to me now, because they made it more realistic. But that's just one screenshot, she actually looks very emotional *to me* in the cut scenes :3

But the new character in the cutscenes of the benchmark looks as if with a strained face and a smile

No problem, when people first started posting about the graphics update, I had the opinion that a lot of people were over reacting. But after going through the benchmark multiple times and reading some of the less inflammatory responses, I see where people are coming from more. Just out of curiosity, the first time you ran the benchmark, did you try to recreate your character or try it with the stock model or create something new? Like I tried the female Hroth first and then tried other models before running it as one that resembles what my current WoL looks like. I have a theory that those who are having the most issues with the graphics update tried to recreate their WoL for the first benchmark and created an almost Uncanny Valley experience. Im wondering if experiencing the graphics with a character that isn't supposed to look like your character first sort of eased people in and the changes wouldn't seem as jarring.

There being legitimate issues and people overreacting aren't mutually exclusive.

It is true that there are problems that should be fixed like the lala upper lip, catgirl fangs, and a number of other little details.

It is also true that people are posting hysterical unhinged comments and comparisons of their "ruined" characters that look practically identical.

I am quite pleased with how the face I use turned out, but it has what I perceive to be a big problem with the lower lip that I would like to see fixed. I could probably zoom in and find a number of other differences, but to imply she looks unrecognizable would be insane. Before anyone says "but your face is one of the good ones" I literally saw a post a minute ago on this forum of someone who hates how this face turned out lol.

Trolling people posting their concerns isn't productive (and no, someone simply disagreeing with you isn't trolling) but neither is saying your benchmark catgirl with a slightly different mouth is an "unrecognizable disgusting joker freak."

I think some of the issues with people are having with the mouths or "my character's jaw changed" is due to the new facial rigging and will be ironed out eventually.

I completely agree with this unreservedly. It seems like 'be respectful' just means 'agree wholeheartedly with whatever the most outlandish claims are about the update'.

I am sorry but I can't in good faith agree that these two pictures of catgirls are 'completely different', and that one is a 'freak'. People might not like the changes but the changes are, by any objective measure, small and should be easy to fix.
