Face paints update?

[Raikai]

I'm kind of surprised that we don't get new Face Paints more often.

They are simpler to make than hair (just textures), and like them, it seems to be the only customization option they made with expanding in mind.

Iirc what they said is that there's essentially a limit on the amount of "slots" in character creator, which is why we don't really get new face models, and also why, for example, Au Ra have their horns tied to face (because there was a limit on an amount of categories within the character creator, too).

I think they mentioned that the limit was greatly increased with updates made in Heavensward and Dawntrail, but it's probably still a thing of concern, so while I'd have loved to see more face paints being added, we probably won't see many of them, if any. Quality improvement should be possible, though.

Adding new face paint options wouldn't overload the amount of "slots" each character uses, so I can only assume they just see us using the same 8 options of the like, 30, they made and just focus on hair or the new races instead.

That said, if DT's gotten an upgrade towards that, maybe we'll actually get more options, afterall.

My impression was that it was a limitation within the character creator itself, rather than on how many options a specific character can have enabled. Maybe I'm wrong, though.

At this point the only thing we can do is remind them from time to time that the interest is there and see if it goes anywhere.

I think I read on here that it took them almost half a year to fix femroe's nose paint, I think ? So I would have some hope.
I would try to post a bug report on that face paint if one hasn't been made already, it looks like largely resized pixels all over the edges, especially on the round dots.

Nice character by the way.

Oh wow... that's long but yeah, also gives some hope.
And yep, makes sense, will try that.

Nice character by the way.

Thanks. Created with love.

I've been waiting for every update for them to improve the face paints, I love these freckles, but I hate that they still look so blurry.

I actually went through paints there other day and noticed that some of them are updated, because the resolution is clearly higher and the edges are cleaned. For one, this one absolutely didn't look this good on 7.0 release:


So it looks they started updating them, but seem to do it in batches like the do with viera/hrothgar haircuts.
I'll take that, since that means they will at some point reach the one I use.
