Liked graphic update: Let them know

[Rekh]

Just want to let devs know I liked the graphic update in almost every way (except the 2 dye channels not working on level 1 racial gear like with female viera boots).

Great work on graphics update, everybody's looking their best selves now.

PS. Thank you for fixing glasses being 20 feet from their face on female viera.

I really liked the part where I have access to all the hats since they set up everything! They made it real nice and convenient to not be tempted to use third party tools!

the graphics themselves are nice. the problem imo is the shadows. u can see it here in my character, he falls to absolute pieces the minute hes in shadow

The people that like it they know aren't going to be bothered by posting on social media platforms while the ones that can't help but cry about things will. That is how you know you did something right is you have a vocal minority but your main player base is just in game enjoying the new stuff.

My biggest issue with the graphics update is the engine still doesn't use 16 threads equally, the new antialiasing option is half baked and it is a temporal solution so that just ....it isn't good, the game without reshade still looks washed out as all -redacted-, and the biggest gripe is there is no anticheat built into the game. Ohh and Wuk exists, having to turn to the JP voices to make her sound normal and well done IS NOT OK.

Overall for a very small graphics update it isn't bad but all of this should have been done in EW as it isn't anything special.

i like how they added a new slot just for glasses except for the elegant rimless glasses those still use the headslot because reasons

I am mixed about it. It is objectively on a technical level an upgrade. The Nvidia DLSS setting is really nice.

People are talking about eyestrain, and I notice what they mean, but it doesn't bother me as much.

Players are extremely in tune with how their character's look, and they are not wrong for being upset. It's their identity within the game. However SE has addressed many of the issues. The two things that bothered me most were fixed: the lip gap and eyelashes. However the nose shape and especially the faded face stripes still bother me. Hopefully we will get an update to character customization that allows finer adjustments to these things.

There are quite a few glasses not available as face wear, including my favorite: Coeurl Eyeglasses

I've had nothing but positive experience with it.
Over all fixed a lot of issues I had with the old lighting and textures.
Did nothing but polish my current appearance, and restored the most important features of the other appearance I use. (Thank you thank you thank you se for returning the mooncat fangs and face 4's lip gap!)
The world textures look phenomenal (and the grass tech is great!!)

And all this without impacting my fps too much (happily sitting above 120fps in most scenarios at 2k. Though Tuliyollal is rough)

I like the part where they made the graphics look blurry and cause people eye strain.

[Heh]

I like how they turn those female xaela aura into sleep deprived race

It's nice they finally added temporal antialiasing. The shimmering in FF always drove me nuts.

Most of the other upgrades... well that is for another thread.
