Ignore the skin colour, that's just the lighting. I'm more concerned about my character's mouth going from a sneer of half-contempt to a dumb toothy grin :s (yes, both statements are a bit of an exaggeration)

As for Skullcrasher's post, I have to disagree.. when I built my character, I wanted her to look how I wanted her to look, y'know? I'm pretty sure we all know it's just a game and "just a bunch of pixels", however I can't help but get attached to the character I've been using for 14 months.

That is the exact same face that my female warrior had and the exact same change was done. I do not like it.

As I mentioned earlier, some modest changes may remain -- necessary changes that allow the movement of the faces and mouths in sync to the dialogue of the cinematic. The lighting improvements, the correction to the long-standing issue with the eyes, and a few other small things will be fixed. But the team really will attempt to restore things to their original form as much as possible.

We thank you for your patience and understanding!

Rotting teeth aren't considered as "modest changes", are they?

*utterly worried*

Longasc · Sep 15, 2006, 08:15 AM // 08:15

I second the teeth problem. Some chars got quite open mouths, and some have black or yellow teeth ... or even dentures.

I also really suggest to remove the Botox and Collagen injections, some chars might fly to the sky.

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*

L.O.L. HAHAHA.. crap I can't help laughing every time I see that new face. Thank you for showing that made my day.
thats one ugly mofo. i would be seriously pissed off.

it seems like alot of faces got bigger lips..?

Same thing with male rits and my green focus just happens to be a paper fan, so he's stuck with a fan in his leg all the time.

Arcador · Sep 15, 2006, 09:06 AM // 09:06

Btw shaders with LOW graphics effects look UGLY. Try that in all other games and see yourself. The Art guys will fix it but as Gaile said, it will not be instant.

Just when I thought a thread couldn't get any funnier you had to post a picture of your pet Origami. Oh God I'm dying laughing here! Plucked turkeys, milk moustaches, duck lips, vampire rangers, mesmers with rotten teeth... this thread is hilarious!

To those taking this too seriously don't worry Anet will fix it. In the meantime I'm too scared to take off my characters masks.

If I could, I would like to jump on this as well. Please can the team look into this warriors hair.

Zoomed out in-game, a dot appears on the back of her head (which follows her head movement). When moving, the dot appears brighter than what is shown in the pictures, and quite annoying. Picture 3 was taken in-game. Pictures 4, 5 and 6 were zoomed in further using Paint Shop Pro.

It's been there ever since I got the game last year, and I have reported it once. I was hoping that the changes would have included a fix, but I was wrong.

TeeGee · Sep 15, 2006, 10:19 AM // 10:19

The real problem are not only face changes but graphic glitches on some models and armors (like those neck holes, turkey cranes, glitching monk handwraps or blinking square on female mesmer luxon armor). I just can't say how it's related to the lip-syncing.

I hope that devs are working not only on faces.

I noticed my ele looked different, but I just put it down to the different lighting on character selection screen.

Now I think about it, he was different. But he looked better.

what's funny about this thread is that people aren't comparing picture taken under the same conditions (view, angles, lighting etc).

Rhedd · Sep 15, 2006, 10:35 AM // 10:35

About the new (considerably inferior) crane...

There are two tigers, two crabs, but only one crane. I should HOPE that the new crane skin has been added, and not completely replaced the beautiful old one.

It would still suck for the poor guy who woke up with a bleached crane, but variety is okay. Replacing perfectly beautiful animals for no reason, isn't.

Another (more likely, now that I think about it) possibility might be that it's just like the hairstyles from the last preview event; The crane has accidentally been replaced with its Nightfall counterpart, due to an asset naming error, in which case it should be fixed soon, just like the hair was.

During which the female ele's are going to be playing a major role on their hands and knees.

I chose my mesmer's face carefuly and I've played her long enough to tell the difference - she used to have healthy-looking, white teeth. I'm sorry i can't provide a SS taken with exactly same angle but trust me, my mesmers teeth look like rotten from every angle and under every light source - they are just too dark.

Blackhawk · Sep 15, 2006, 11:09 AM // 11:09

No amount of special lighting, camera angles or views is going to fix the mess this updates made of some peoples faces
