    The artificial Eye reflection looks bad.

    Despite what people have been saying about this and their characters looking dead without it I think my character looks worse with static eye specks that never move.

    At the end of the day I'm not going to throw some massive fit and I can put up with it but this to me is a case of sometimes making things worse due to feedback. Given the new lighting I think there's plenty of reflections going on to make the eyes not look dead anymore. I would suggest removing it.

    It looks really bad if you move the camera around and everything moves but those static spots stay as well.

    Also for some reason its almost like my character has cataracts or smudges on the right eye... another thing I would advise removing, again, I'm mostly happy so I'm okay if this is it, but I don't think this is an improvement.

    Here is also an example of how hazy her eyes have become because of all of this feedback. It looks like her eyes are now from an 80 year old and she can't see well....

    Further adding to this post on Miqote feedback, the transition in this hair is WAY too big, as you zoom in things become more defined, I understand that for saving resources, however, with this hair the difference is TOO big, I would make the zoomed out hair a bit more defined than this because I actually do enjoy this style a lot and it won't look as good like this.

    Barely zoomed out:

    I thought the super blurry hair was because my PC is barely holding onto life. But I am also having the same issue if I zoom out. Her hair only looks good if I'm zoomed all the way in. Otherwise it looks like this:




    I tried changing her hair as well to see if it's just that specific style. This happens to every hair to varying degrees. Some of the ARR styles look fine from the back, yet the bangs are super blurred and vice versa. The styles added in StB and onward aren't affected to such a striking degree (but are still slightly blurred). I'm not sure if it's my settings or something they've added / subtracted.

    Not your PC. I have a 4090 and a 4K display run on max settings. Def an issue on their end.

    Yeah it seems to be some overly sensitive LOD texture scaling? I'm getting it too on every race.

    I'm relieved to see it's not just me, and I hope they can fix this issue as soon as possible. But they are on crunch time now, so I might end up stuck not taking any MSQ SS until it gets resolved. :/

    I honestly agree? I get the reason why people complained about the eyes in the benchmark 1. Not having any shine isn't good, but adding in a static fake shine (or rather, adding it back) is regressing, and it's gonna be really janky combined with what are otherwise a bunch of real and dynamic lights. Not sure what the perfect solution would have been, but I don't think adding in a cartoony eye dot was it.
