M Miqo'te Face Four Has Eye Highlights Blocked By Eyelids/Default Idle Stance

[glitteringcosmos]

When submitting a bug report, please use the below template and thoroughly fill out the necessary information.


Date & Time: 6 Sept 2024 4pm EDT
Frequency: Always
World name: Cuchulainn
Character name: E'rahez Tia
Class/Level: all
Party or solo: both
In-game time: always

Steps:
1. Character options:

Male Miqo'te
Clan: Seeker of the Sun
Face: Type 4
Eyes: Type 3
Jaw: Type 2
Eyebrows: Type 2
Nose: Type 4

2. Default idle pose for Male Miqo'te Characters is slightly hunched, looking down and to the right side

3. Due to the combination of the racial choice impacting the default idle stance and the eye choice affecting the shape of the eyes and eyelids, this combination results in a character with absolutely no eye highlight from a direct angle. For the majority of cutscenes, the character is in this default idle position, resulting in a character that looks lifeless.

4. The eyes highlight IS present, but you have to look at the character with the camera pointed up from a downward angle. This is due to how the lighting system renders the light source in the same position on all eyes across all characters, regardless of eye shape choice.

Please see the images below for examples.

With the announcement today asking players to accept that the eye highlight design is "considered spec"--I'm sorry, but for a player to have to choose between having no eye highlights whatsoever or picking another eye shape so that their character doesn't look dead is unacceptable. At the very least this needs to be fixed on the affected races, by:

A) intensifying the highlight values across the board so that no one race or customization option is left out
B) adjusting the idle stance of male miqo'te and/or adjusting the eyelid on the type 3 eye option so the eye is open wide enough to see the highlight with present values, or
C) give players who'd rather have highlights in "unnatural" situations than none at all the option to choose what highlight value they want to use.

Thank you for your support in the matter.
