Dawntrail character graphics update - opinions, requests and discussion megathread

Hmmm... so it's more just that the brim doesn't cast a shadow, and maybe in that screenshot the character chanced to be on the edge of a sunlit/shadowed area.

No. The picture was made deep inside of The Roost in Gridania. The door left is the entrance. There is a light source over my head and it ignores the hat completely. It seems, that SQEX forgot to create shadow maps for hats.

Yes, I'm talking about the other guy.

I feel fairly certain they aren’t reading our feedback anymore, if they ever were reading the eng forum feedback. I reported a thread with racism and a slur in the OP and it’s still around the following day and over ten pages long. This forum is just abandoned and left as a troll playground. I’m just so frustrated because I want to stop subbing for a long time in protest but of course I finally won the housing lotto after trying to get a house for 5 years. Do I just give it up since I don’t want to play anymore with my face like this? Who knows how long it would take to win the lotto again on Balmung if they miraculously fix my face and I decide to come back??

It is the same behavior, that the hat is transparent to light sources. But i do not think, that they will fix it.

There’s a similar issue on the table of the new Country house (at least on my small) where the light on the table goes through the table’s shadow to the ground! lol Just really feels like things were way too rushed. I wish they had taken their time and did things right.

I'd say, take the house, and maybe find some joy in decorating it even if our face is busted...I'm still hung up over it but my houses are what's keeping me from quitting entirely. They fixed the lighting inside. Then again having a house is essentially SE trapping you in the game if you want to keep it.

There's a chance that they might actually not fix our faces and it might be the 'weather it out' situation....I reported a person where they told OP to go die and the entire thread was removed the next day.

New patch drops and still darker skinned, lighter haired Keeper of the Moon face 4 has no eyebrows ;.;
One day I'll be able to waggle my finally-visible eyebrows again, but it is not this day.

Please just copy/paste the Seeker eyebrows over, I beg.

All i saw in patch notes were texture fixes for some hairstyles and shadows on one style. Issues with headgear for female miqo'te hiding the ears too but doesn't exactly count.

[Tahli]

I hope one of these patches they also include a fix to decompress F Miqo face 2's squished thin eyebrows.

[Cheapshot]

I'm not sure if this means they'll fix it but they've accepted the bug report I made about female midlander face 1 eye shape 4. Fingers crossed.

I’m very very glad for you but at the same time kinda dumbfounded. I have zero clue what they will and wont accept anymore. Just zero clue. Posts with every effort to be as detailed and compliant with their submission guidelines as possible get kicked back as “insufficient information” or “not a bug report” with no feedback as to what’s missing or what getting sent to “not a bug report” even means when there’s also a “working as intended” section. I still have no clue what they wanted from me when I was trying to report lip gloss being on despite none selected for lip colour, unlike how it was before. I assumed I initially got “insufficient information” because I summarized my system info instead of copy pasting that giant wall of text their launcher spits out. No idea though now. No feedback, no consistency. It’s like the wild west in there.

The fact that they accepted it doesn’t mean it won’t go into “not enough info” or smth else like “working as intended”, they have done it multiple times. It just means that someone looked at it and did not see an issue with the format of the post.
