Updated benchmark

[SchwarzwaelderTorte]

The Patch notes reading session is currently being streamed, and there were some additional comments on the graphical update.

Someone from the Japanese forum thread was very kind to DM me a translation in English:

We have adjusted player character settings even after releasing the updated version of the benchmark software, incorporating adjustments based on the feedback we received to the fullest extent possible.
We have also adjusted things like "this face pattern," "these eyes," and "this indentation."
We have pushed adjustments to the limit for what we can do for now.
If there are still aspects that concern you or that you are curious about, please let us know on the forum or elsewhere. Your feedback would be greatly appreciated.

I am very happy to hear that they are open to feedback, even though there is no guarantee that it can be implemented. It's also good to hear that concerns can still be voiced after launch. When the game goes live I'll try to create some proper feedback images bc I didn't have time before.

I also hope that this whole situation emphasises to the devs how limited the CC is. Perhaps it'll finally make them consider adding more options in the future and I will keep on adding this point to my future feedback. I think the update has shown how direly it is needed to ensure as many people in the playerbase can properly be served.

EDIT: Never mind, I found some. Unfortunate that fem Au Ra face 2 still has that entire lip structure change...

Sorry I didn't see your post before! I'm glad you found some images in the meantime. Yep, the forced lip job is still there it seems. :/

I’m happy they did more and are open to doing more. That’s hopeful news. Is there a known good way to send them our feedback directly? The forums are really tiring me out. All the hostility and immaturity and trolling going around is making it real tough to just give sincere and detailed feedback. I’ve never seen people get banned for harassment and bigotry or troll threads get deleted either. I’ve done my best to put effort and civility into leaving that feedback on these forums but I’d love to just spare my mental health and send it directly. Cut out the negativity and let them decide for themselves what feedback they find valuable or not, right?

This is more or less the feedback I've been giving in the Japanese thread.
The moderation team there is extremely active (sometimes so active that people freak out a little), but otherwise just as silent as here.
And yeah both the devs and the players would benefit from a proper feedback process because it's been very chaotic to follow (and manage, I imagine).
Did you know that there's an official thread to give feedback on the cloud server test in every region? :^) Why was there one for this test but not for this? Who knows!

It does seem strange that there’s no official place or channel to provide feedback despite them repeatedly asking for it. Not even any forms or guidelines to streamline things and format feedback to be easier to collate. The “general discussion” forum has just devolved into a mostly chaotic unofficial feedback forum wild west. It might not be a problem if people could behave themselves better like they apparently do on the JP forums but we’re never going to clear that low bar over here sadly lol. Even so, I would think a standardized feedback template would help them tremendously, regardless of region.

I was watching it with my friend who's fluent in japanese and she said that he said they adjusted really small details such as the creases in specific eyelid patterns and other adjustments. So doubt they did huge changes to hugely change the overall look of the characters in 1.1 so I wouldn't worry about it given they only had around 2 weeks to do anything.
Some people characters have already been updated and elezen kinda looks the same.
However he said they will continue address feedback in future patches and beyond because they couldn't add everything. I personally think this just means bugs but~ you never know. Personally I think its really bad they're open to keep changing characters through out 7.x..
Hope they're ok with giving everybody a free fantasia everytime.

I hope, they revert the Elezen changes.

The monument to hypocrisy and irony that is this whole thread. "We're only advocating for our own characters" while forgetting "their" characters are shared with every player in the world. I know it's easy to forget, but your face and hair combo really isn't that unique. Thousands of other players are using it, and your 'fixes' are being forced on everyone else's characters, but nevermind that. "Fuck you got mine" mentality. As I've said before, I'd much rather they let you guys live in the past with extra choices, than forcing the old models on everyone else.

I hope, they revert the Elezen changes.



Cheers

That was so cute.
Did it make you feel better?
