No, not my Monk.

This is how she looked before the update and/or when looking away from the light.

And these pics show how she looks after the update and when looking into the light.

Some might say it's not a big deal, but I find those ugly dark spots greatly disturping. They must go away, please.

Before update:

After update:

If I turn her away from the lighting source, it's bearable. Unfortunately eles don't have masks, so it's not like I can put a bag over her head. Enhanced, toothy mouth gape is not attractive, and coupled with a moustache, it's downright horrifying. She's my second oldest character, and I'm not remaking her. If the moustache persists, I'll stop playing her very much at all. Someone please help her! *sobs*

Oh my god, your poor, poor ele. I hope they fix you up really soon! Same goes to everyone else who had their characters get changed

Mesmer before and after:

Ele after (no before sorry!);

(the lighting isn't quite as effective here at showing it but my pale ele looks rather tired now as the eyes seem to be a different colour from the skin.

)

Nothing to go on a rampage about.

Horseman Of War, I have an open-mouthed Rit too. I don't play her much but my feeling is her mouth changed too, not in such a drastic way as my mes' or Female Terrorist's ele's. I don't have a 'before' pic tho so I can't compare them.

Lynxius · Sep 14, 2006, 10:24 PM // 22:24

Ok everyone.

I will present to you my lovelly asian faced, tyrian born monk ( one of my favorite characters )
Keep in mind that the before pictures were taken in dark places without much light.

Before:

_______________________________________________

After:

I think I noted some differences mainly on the eye shadow, and some parts near her lips, maybe her eyes too.
I took screenshots of her face from diferent angles, I tought it might help.

Just wanted to say that I like how she is like now.

Feedback from other users here is greatly apreciated, I wish to know what you think about my character, and if the changes were for better or for worse, you have my thanks in advance.

Would rather you kept her how she is at the moment.
Thank you A-Net.

-Lynxius

PS- Gaile Gray, I hope you may find my contribution usefull.

You wouldnt imagine how much time I used choosing her height, skin, hair and face.
That was 14 months ago and im still happy with her and not bored of her looks,even if she changed a bit

Oh my! I really laughed at this one.

Don't mean to be mean but so far that's the funniest one I've seen. I had a good laugh but hopefully Anet fixes all these glitches soon.

They should compensate Feminist Terrorist for emotional distress after that catastrophe. Seriously. Throw some free ectos her way or something. Poor girl looks like she ran into a wall without looking...

Aera Lure · Sep 14, 2006, 11:45 PM // 23:45

I waited to reply on this topic until I logged in to have a look for myself. I am not happy.

Yes exactly.. except that...

Please keep in mind that we need to upgrade over time, and that changes will come to which we should be willing to adjust.

The point is: We will make corrections to those things that are truly in error. Some changes that involve refinements of art or implementation of upcoming features will not be changed, naturally, nor should they be. And for certain, if there's a "funny looking" character, we want to make it "unfunny looking."

That's why the QA team and I are both looking at this thread, and others like it. Your comments and examples will allow us to fix those things that truly need fixing, and allow me to get back to you with an update on the situation so that, hopefully, everyone understands and gets on board with the changes (the ones that, obviously, don't need fixing, of course!

)

... one cannot reconcile what you said in the first paragraph with your next two.

I have said for a long time that many faces offered in Prophecies, and even many in Factions, indeed look pretty poor, limiting available character creation options. Itd be nice to see some additional ones added. Itd also be nice to have a few great looking ones in addition to the several with truly odd facial expressions (to my own eye anyway).

This doesnt mean going in and re-designing the faces we have chosen carefully for characters we have spent hundreds, some thousands, of hours on. We chose them for a reason. Subjective yes, but we liked them, and grew to like them. Some may like one face or another better, but changing an original face to something else, even if you think those changes minor, changes the original character choice. Anet cant do that without giving us then the ability to make a new face choice.

Better yet, change them back. There is no way I am creating characters over from scratch and a couple of the faces I truly liked have changed into something I do not at all.

Anet has to reconsider this. Add more facial options for new character creation. Great. I might make a new one. Add the ability perhaps to make a one-time change of facial choice if you are intent on changing them however. Changing existing faces please no one and is more disastrous than the grumbling about the interface changes. We all chose faces we liked when we looked at them for the first time. Now the majority of mine I like less - granted a couple better - but that is not the point.

Truly perplexed at this "logical" business choice. What is not good for the existing players with existing chracters is not a good business choice.

HAHAHHAHAHAAHA o man...thats just wrong...itll fix itself hopefully lmao

Hyper Cutter · Sep 14, 2006, 11:50 PM // 23:50

TW (ele) got the makeup treatment, which looks wierd on her freakishly pale skin.

Anna (mesmer) seems to have a wierd line on one side of her mouth, and her face seems... taller somehow.

Hinata (ranger) and Kurenai (necro) appear to be unchanged...

I'm sorry you have to deal with that. What I'd reccommend is a serious law-suit against the plastic surgeon who took a perfectly lovely face and screwed it all up. (No need for all the extra collogen in those lips), then, I'd petition the AMA to get the quack's medical license revoked! The before pic looks SOOOOO much better!

Feminist Terrorist · Sep 14, 2006, 11:56 PM // 23:56

Thankfully I have several other characters, and all were either improved slightly or there was no noticeable change. Well, except for my ranger. Poor girl looks like she got into big sisters blush and lipstick. At least her I can put a mask on.

My ele though. So many jokes, it must be even worse than I thought. I don't know if Feminist Terrorist can ever show her face in public again.

Quack? Oh, Kook, that's just not nice. lmao
