I remember seeing threads specifically about the nose-smudge back when the DT Benchmark came out. A quick look and here's one, two, and three threads regarding the absence, and I believe it was mentioned in a few of the compilation threads as well. It is indeed a longstanding feature of the Hellsguard, glad to see it's been somewhat brought back at last. Hope they'll continue to return the features they've removed from folks' characters. Part of the original stated goal of the graphics change was to 'preserve the spirit and feel of the characters', be nice to see that finally happen.
