Dawntrail Benchmark Feedback - Female Miqo'te

[Emeraldd]

I completely agree with this, I have screenshots I can post later of my Miqote. I use the Miqote Face 1, if you look at the eyes in general, they're much wider overall and gives off a very uncanny/ psychotic look when looking head on at your character. Almost like they thought this would be "cute" eyes but it just came out looking insane.

Eye shape 3 for Miqote Face 1 normally has a very sharp look, almost low set eyes which I really like. In the benchmark they made the top portion more round, and now my character has this wide eyed "blank stare" look.

Matt dry and dark lips, eyebrows are much smaller and more narrow, and nose 4 from the side profile has this random bump and is not straight anymore. Hair is matt dry, with no light/shine bounce no matter the angle.

These changes are definitely not for the better and have officially downgraded in quality compared to the models we have currently. All they really needed to do is upgrade textures, not alter the facial structure or features.

This upgrade to the models is not ready for release and personally, I will not be investing any money into the expansion unless this is fixed and addressed.

The eyebrow facial toggle seems to be misaligned. I'm not sure if it is worth doing a separate post about this, but it's really frustrating. The toggle does not look natural on any eyebrow option now and instead looks like a chunk is missing. I love the toggle because I love the unkempt eyebrow look. Now they just look wrong.

I made a small collage on the theme "what we were promised and what we received."
It seems I got the noses slightly mixed up, but I think it's not that important.

the parting on the lips for face 4 where you could see the teeth was a charm point for me that i always thought was really cute so seeing it gone in the benchmark character creator was sad..i know it's probably not gonna come back but it kinda takes away some of the appeal of my favorite face option

I chose eye 6 for the exact same reason, thank you so much for your hard work with all these screenshots pointing out the same disappointments I had!

The smudge nose on face 4 for miqo'te I dislike.
please at least do optional for the mud nose.

As someone who loves the smudge I don't understand why it's permanently tied to the one face. I think it should be optional for every face.

Well it came back in DT, maybe even a little too much. I personally like it but I'm wondering what's gonna happen with the next update.
