Dawntrail character graphics update - opinions, requests and discussion megathread

[SchwarzwaelderTorte]

Even more concerning:
Midlander 3 and Roegadyn 1 also have a low resolution beard (every other face has a high resolution beard), which were accepted as bugs, marked as fixed, and then not fixed.

Happy first year anniversary to the first benchmark where all hell broke loose, yay.

I am really sad what is happening to the aura horns, particularly the tan ones. I know folks had issues with the 7.0/pre-benchmark horns and scales, but I much preferred the gorgeous marble look to what they've now become. They now look dirty, dingy and low resolution again compared to the high resolution ones in 7.0. Not sure what happened but in some instances, the more tweaks they do the worse it gets.

Personally, my main ask is for the Au Ra pupil size to return to its original size (or have an option for it). It really shouldn't be that hard to fix. If I don't see any change in the upcoming patch, I swear I'm going to lose it. I can't bear to wait for another future patch in hopes that it gets fixed if ever.

Why is this still a trivial change? Will the devs just never acknowledge it?

Nothing that I've brought up has been fixed in 7.21 either.

Eyelid bug has been, as expected, swept under the rug even after a month of player reports

I mean, in their very initial statement they promised to spend months on fixing eylashes of all things, so I guess they are very busy doing it. Right?..

Hello. I'm the one that keep talking about Midlander face 3 low resolution beard texture in the japanese forum. I have a story to tell.
Full story is I made a bug report, and the report got accepted as bug last December. Last month with the coming of patch 7.2 the post got moved to 'fixed', but in game there's nothing changed the beard remain blurry and broken, so I made a report again. They got accepted as bug again, and few days later they were moved to 'working as intended' without fixing anything.

This is not the first time this kind of thing happened. Seawolves face 1 also got 'fixed' without fixing anything.

Of course I was furious, and posted about this. I admitted that I was emotional and may use some strong words and they could get deleted, which is why I break them down and made several posts. Basically asking are the devs really serious about this.
These are the posts:

Immediately after that, they all got deleted. And, I got banned for 10 days.

As I said I knew the risk of posts getting wiped (happened before), but I didn't quite expect them to delete this 2 simple question posts too.

Top
You can update the back side texture properly but why won't you touch the front side? Is this intended?
Bottom
I've been paying subscriptions like everyone else why my character didn't get the update like everybody else? Is this also intended?

And here I am 10 days later.

What I learn from this is to make a screenshot of your posts here in the forum. They could get swept under the rug. The devs will not talk about graphic update fixes, will not give feedback responses, but they will stealthily delete your feed back posts.

I will not stop. Until the devs finally admit that this is a mistake or Yoshi P himself say it live with his own mouth that there's nothing wrong with this beard texture and is working as intended I will never shut up about this.

By the way, I made a vow to myself to not start Dawntrail msq until my beard got fixed.
I thought they would deal with it within a month.

It has been almost 10 months now. I still haven't start Dawntrail. I am extra salty.

Absolutely based.

Huh, I'm actually a bit surprised when the mods do delete posts like we've had a certain Highlander alt create numerous troll posts every single day, and yet here he is just posting away without a care in the world despite not playing FFXIV at all.
