It's over.
I forgot how MMOgays are some of the biggest autists
jesus mmo brainrot is incurable after a while. glad FF14 can be played casually and as a single player game so I don't have to worry about this.
>mmo brainrot
It's not "mmo brainrot", it's simply having an eye for detail
>It's not "mmo brainrot"
yes it is. and right looks objectively better.
No, like I said, it's an eye for detail coupled with an attachment to that detail. You can't even see the entire character in the screenshot, because people's complaints aren't "my character looks unequivocally worse", the complaints are "my character mostly looks better, but this part right here isn't even a graphics update, this is just a (minor) significant change for no reason, and now my character no longer looks like my character to me"
anon if you are so attached to your mmo characters eyebrows there is no hope left for you. read the image i replied to they are clearly upset by the change. im not sure what you think brainrot is suppose to mean.
If you don't understand the nuance then I don't know what to tell you. I can guarantee you, because you're a Ganker poster, that you have shit up a thread for dozens of posts at a time about something or other than some remake or sequel of some video game did
Ganker posters only understand passion when it's in the form of complaining for hours.
are you not a Ganker poster of all a sudden? of course i shitpost (not dozens of times) in threads but im not doing that right now. I like and play ff14 and think the complaints about the updates are humorous because of what a nothingburger they are. you don't agree, tough shit and have a good night.
>are you not a Ganker poster of all a sudden?
No, I'm just trying to explain to you in terms that you might understand what is occurring here. If you're ever complained about (for example) a remake or a sequel changing something about a game, then you are guilty of the exact same thing that the person complaining about their eyebrows is guilty of
i am a proud hypocrite. an example of that would be ffx HD looks objectively worse, however than is a way bigger difference than what were seeing with 7.0
i need a link to see this moron get shit on
>he doesn't know
The entire official forums is exactly like that moron and there are 30+ pages of circle jerking about it.

I hope SE doesn't do something stupid and cave to people like this and revert or undo the changes.

bro this hit the benchmark tool, face sculpt changes are not in the cards
I agree, my keeper has eyeshadow and now it's way too much with that artificial eyeliner, and removing the eyeshadow will probably ruin shut eyes shots...
Man OP is super super super fricking desperate to have this thread isn't he
Good evening my fellow xivvers I am mad I am playing Endwalker and not Dawntrail right now
Femhroth WON.
I wish there was a more purple colour in The Lost's pallet but I agree.
They're so fricking close to being great but I don't like their upper body proportions. Also the scaling on gear is fricked. Specifically, the shoulders.
fun fact, femhroths use an updated version of the femezen skeleton, they do not use the femroe skeleton
because the femezen skeleton was updated, tail mods for femezens will be possible
Mods/customize+ will fix it.
I'm not paying SE $13 a month so I can fix their shortcomings, thank you very much.
you won't make it
give her fangs you COWARD
For about two days until Dalamud updates, then they'll be gone from my game forever.
Are we looking at the same image
I'm sticking with my male Elezan, but femhroth does look good tbh.
Have you considered upgrading your PC?
i like reading essays by fujo artists in the jp graphics discussion thread, really shows how fricking stupid americans are.
It's not just americans, it's the western world in general. Years of woke culture has resulted in emotions over rational thought. That's why western and eastern complains break down as thus
>NA/EU: my character FEELS different
>JP: my character looks different, let me provide specific examples of what has been changed
get help
He's correct albeit.
Feel free to explain how I'm wrong. You don't even have to address western coddle culture at large, just browsing the graphics thread on the NA forums will tell you enough.
You have to explain how you're right first
will dawntrail be the expansion that saves xiv?
Stormblood was already the expansion that saved it, Heavensward blew chunks. Dawntrail will be the expansion that elevates it to godhood
Hey, this FSR shit works. I got a free 2500 points on the benchmark rendering it at 1080p, 75% 3D rendering resolution since I use a 1440p monitor, and I noticed basically no graphical difference compared to running it at native res while getting much higher and steadier framerates.
IF YOUR CHARACTER HAD A GOOD DESIGN
>the update made your character look the same or better
IF YOUR CHARACTER HAD A POOR DESIGN
>the update made your character look worse
What I noticed is that lips and eyeliner get darker if they’re in the shadows, so I think that’s what’s throwing people off. Like in the 7.0 one you can see how the lips are shaded by the way the light hits it. Left is 1.0.
The first zoom in scene here
Really makes the eyeliner dark.
The right side is reminding me of the eyes anime characters get when they die or lose their soul or whatever
Certain lighting makes you look dead inside
Because it has actual light reflection now instead of fake light, so if you're in shade they look like that
I respect the fact that you've been playing the same dude for a decade while there are people out there who can't go a week without fantaing to a different race.
Not entirely true. My character design is great
However, after years of playing the game, I finally used my ARR fanta, and I used it so that my limbals would be the same color as my eyes. I used my ARR fanta to change my eye color slightly lighter, and my limbal color also slightly lighter, because the end result is that the eye color seamlessly blends into the limbal color, which makes my character's eyes look like they have a bit of a "highlight" without having an obvious limbal. I used my ARR fanta specifically for this one purpose and for nothing else
The 7.0 benchmark changes both the color of my eyes and the color of the limbal, so that the limbal is an ugly orange color while the eye is a darker yellow than it is in 6.58. My character, for the most part, does look better, but my eyes are completely and exactly ruined. The only reason I used my ARR fanta has been completely and totally undone by the graphics update
(skin color, face, hair, etc have all been changed are are not what my character look like - this was done because the focus is on the eyes color)
If your only issue is color then just use the free fanta to change it.
Not the point. First off, I haven't been able to find an eye color in the same "vicinity" as this that seamlessly blends into a matching limbal color. I haven't even been able to find one that does this in all lighting. It seems that with the 7.0 update, their purpose has been to increase the prominence of the limbals, meaning for one to be able to blend seamlessly into the eye color is antithetical to the new graphics update. I've given up trying. I will have to use Anamnesis when 7.0 goes live in order to test the eye colors out in game, in real time, in order to attempt to find one that matches how my eyes look in 6.58. I am not hopeful that there is a solution
Second, I shouldn't need to use a fanta to undo a change that I so exactly already fixed. The only thing I changed with my ARR fanta was my eye and limbal color. That's the only thing I changed. I shouldn't need to use my 2nd free fanta to fix it back. They should just be the same color that they already are. Why make the limbals darker in the first place? Why? What's the point? Why fundamentally change the color of the limbals at all?
>auraposts
grim
>I shouldn't need to
But you will because of all the ways the different updates can interact with each other, so you're being given a free fanta to make the necessary changes. They're not giving you a free fanta just for the hell of it. It's so you can make adjustments.
>But you will because of all the ways the different updates can interact with each other
The only thing it changed is that very exactly undid the single reason I used my ARR fanta. I shouldn't need to be using the Dawntrail fanta. They should just make the eye and limbal colors the same as they are in 6.58. There's no reason to have made them darker
The entitlement is through the roof hooooooly
>use ARR fanta for one thing and one thing only
>Dawntrail very exactly fricks that one thing up
>haven't yet been able to find a fix for it
>there might not even be a combination that will make my 7.0 eyes look like my 6.58 eyes
>will need to use the Dawntrail fanta to once again change the one singular thing I used my ARR fanta for
It's not entitlement. I've never even complained about the graphics, and I don't use mods either. This is other people's fault. There's no reason for my 7.0 limbals to be a completely different color than my 6.58 limbals. That's not a graphics enhancement, that's what happens when you outsource your work
I think I conflated the time you've spent posting about this with the people making a mountain out of a molehill, though the granularity of your complaints does come off as entitled. I can't really go too hard if we break your posts down, though.
I dunno, with the sweeping improvements across the board to characters at the expense of a few details, I'm just over anyone complaining too much. To me it's: "damn, you slipped through the cracks. Oh well too bad so sad, use your fanta and update your look."
>though the granularity of your complaints does come off as entitled
>play game for 5 years
>after 3 years of playing, use ARR fanta on one feature that bothers me in cutscenes sometimes
>for 3 years, every time a cutscene comes up, I will say "hmm maybe my eyes and limbals and eyes could match and it would look better"
>spend an entire day in Anamnesis coupled with /gpose to find the perfect eye/limbal combination for all lighting conditions
>(as I'm sure you're aware, lighting is occasionally very unkind to certain features, but not on my character; I made sure of it)
>enjoy about 2 years viewing cutscenes with my eye/limbal change, and I approve of it every time
>I actually have thoughts such as "using the fanta on my eye/limbals was the right call"
>enjoy being casually subbed/unsubbed to the game for 5 years, having made only one change to my character, and having consistent reinforcement that the singular change I made was the right choice
>load up 7.0 Dawntrail, eager to see how my character looks in the new graphics update
>my eyes, the one thing I changed, have very exactly been ruined to no longer be a matching color
Tell me how this is "entitlement"
Because I think these expectations are fricking wild, but I guess I'm just from a boomer era of MMOs where you never had this kind of celebrity'd-out character creation focus. At this point just download mods lmao.
Like, I see the options I have in XIV, go, "well, this is a decent enough selection I suppose," and just work with what I have. If the changes were a majority downgrade to character options I'd get complaints, but like...Man I just don't get it. It's not a "don't get being attached to character" thing either since I had a big persona/general look invested into my WoW character back in the day, but I just adjusted to the character model/texture overhaul.
>but I guess I'm just from a boomer era of MMOs where you never had this kind of celebrity'd-out character creation focus
I am also a boomer. Even in the MapleStory GL beta you could customize your appearance with the same 3 or so options. Imagine if you logged into beta GL MapleStory on your level 40 character (which was considered a very high level at the time) and now you had Eyes #2 instead of Eyes #1. That's what happened to me. Also, even PSO let you customize (and recustomize) your appearance with actually a really good amount of options considering the time it came out. So I don't really know what game you're talking about
>At this point just download mods lmao.
What? Why? "lol bro stop complaining that the 7.0 update fricked up your eyes, which you already used a fanta to fix, just become a modbeast lol what are you complaining about"
My hope is that they make changes that cause eyes and limbals to appear as the same color that the currently are in 6.58. There is no reason for them to be different colors in 7.0 than they are in 6.58. It has changed from a light yellow to an ugly orange-brown. That's not a graphical update, that is a completely different color. I'll probably end up making a complaint on the official forums when I resub in a few weeks to do the XVI event. My eyes shouldn't be a different color in 7.0 than they are in 6.58
The free fantasia is there to fix situations like yours. You are losing nothing.
impeccable circular logic
>can't copy my own cats fur pattern
Not sure why I expected anything but cats are a definite pass
Finally started going through the endgame ARR dungeons and raids and they're actually really fun, way better than the ones during msq, after 70 hours I'm actually starting to see the appeal of this game. Ignore the shitty phone picture, I was too lazy to take a screenshot to send it to my phone to send it to my friend
keep on keeping on lil fella
It gets a lot better as you start unlocking more skills and can use em.
Thanks, it got a lot better once I reached level 50, too bad the next skills for dragoon are locked behind heavensward progression, and I don't want to start heavensward before I do every single dungeon, trial and raid on ARR
Ah yeah, that can suck.
They only do it for Heavensward and Stormblood though, so once you pass lvl70 you're not gated by expansion anymore.
I did the same thing when I started playing, did all the ARR dungeons & trials before HW.
That's nice to hear, still I don't think there's much stuff left to do, I'm almost done with the crystal tower questline and already did half of the hard versions of dungeons.
Go to the Waking Sands and beat the hard mode primals so you can unlock Binding Coil of Bahamut.
Will do that too, thanks.
Thanks, dragoons have been my favorite FF class ever since I played FF4, I didn't even bother checking other classes
>Dragoon
Very very very based
You are a cool dude, have fun
Ironically enough, crystal tower is easily the worst alliance raid series. The lv 60 one is slightly better and the 70 and 80 are way better already. They also look way better.
Nah Myths is the worst
It can't possibly be so bad that it balances it out the visual vomit that is CT and the pain of playing some jobs at 50.
LotA is actually dysfunctional mechanically
Syrcus boss HP has always been undertuned, even on release
WoD is okay but they need to look at the other two, they're terrible and Myths's only sin is that it's kind of bland

yeah yeah, see you in August when it finally starts to sink in that EW's problems ran a LOT fricking deeper than just lacking a foray zone
What's a "foray" zone? Is this like an exploration zone? What does that entail? Newbie here if you couldn't tell.
Foray/exploration zone means Eureka or Bozja, big open regions with FATEs you run around and grind for a separate EXP/leveling system and additional subsystems called Logos Actions and Lost Actions.
Oh, I played Bozja and it didn't see that "explore-y" to me. Like a wide linear path. Was hoping it'd be something different. Not that Bozja isn't cool just that I don't see the "exploration" side.
Eureka is way more exploration based than Bozja was.
I will check it out when I re-sub!

dragoonchads how anxious are we about the rework?? i really never minded the animation lock...
After playing around with Monk and Reaper in EW I am extremely confident, on fricking top of that we are getting a very swanky modernization of Drachen armor with the DT AF. It had Nidhogg whorls on the shoulders and a spiffy helmet with a tassel.
What do you mean monk and reaper
monk was reworked and reaper is a new dps job
Do you are saying if dragoon is similar to those you it would be an improvement over current dragoon
No I am saying I have confidence that the rework will be good based on another rework and a new job being good
That dragoon af is really nice
I'm really liking all the Dawntrail AFs, even if a couple of them are samey compared to EW's. The only one I dislike is BLM's and only because I don't care for them chasing the Harry Potter or Matoya fashion for the third expac in a row.

First time?
The WoW graphics update looks fine. The fricked up part about nuWoW is that the animations are completely different. I originally quit in WotLK. At some point before I started playing XIV, I reupped my WoW sub and downloaded the newest expansion. I pretty much immediately quit when I started spell casting and the old animations were completely fricking gone. I just couldn't handle it. I've never even thought about playing WoW since then
>AAAIIIIIEEE MY CHARACTER IS RUINED
>see their current appearance
>literally one of the ugliest [insert race here] you can find
>every fricking post being vocal about it
kek what the frick
holy, fishra look like THAT?
>post nice looking characters
>"ruined forever!"
This shitposting narrative makes no sense.
where did i say ruined?
In every thread ever, "X looks like THAT" is negative in nature, usually implying ugliness.
meds
Enough about your meds, stop whining about better graphics.
Fishra got a big buff for sure.
>fish face is no longer a thing even under bad lighting
>can make expressions without a downie face collapsing in on itself
face 1 looks slightly worse imo though cuz the appeal is the resting b***h face and it kinda lost it.
Femra supremacy reigns supreme
Aren't femras some of the ones b***hing the loudest? What's wrong with them? Aside from the obvious of course.
the ones b***hing the loudest also have the ugliest fricking characters you can possibly make so its unsurprising
Their problem is, they made an ugly character and it still looks ugly but now they can't cope by saying it's just bad lighting
All of them won imo. I had a problem when I played some anime games and came back to FFXIV and whatever anime brainrot happened there made me think my character was ugly as frick. After a week, that perception went away. These people are experiencing the same thing but in an extremely microscale way. Likely they'd complain if the texture for the skin was moved over half a millimeter because their 100% original super sexy lv 1 bawdglam afk bot is actually really well thought out.
what "anime" game did you play?
*type Bras
Yoshi p is too busy using sub money to pay for troony HRT and homosexual aids medicine, there's none left to fix the shit game. please understand.
How did he get aids
He's a homosexual, how do you think?

>TWW alpha is about to drop
>Massive hype for Pandaria Remix
>WoW re-release in China
WoW chads keep winning, death to scattrail
>shits on both dead troony games
Kneel to the White man's game.
Troonpilled wounds 2 is dead, their latest xpac was a joke.
How's the raiding in this game? I know the combat is supposed to be more tactile than most MMOs and it looked kinda cool from my glimpse at it. Don't know anything about raiding or how bosses are designed though.
Very heavy on puzzle mechanics, people often compare it to DDR
Got a good middling example you could link a youtube vid of?
Eh, search "Kaineng Overlook strike cm" on YouTube
I'll be honest, I didn't read the reply chain and thought that anon was asking about XIV, but GW2 has been aping XIV's raid style quite a bit the last few years regardless
The combat isn't tactile at all, the xpac classes really dumbed things down to be super generic and railroady. Go compare base engineer to the xpac skills, and it's a completely different class in terms of complexity.
WoW still has by far the most complex classes and raids. GW2 raids are more like movement checks that wipe the fight if you frick up, which isn't fun.
tactile
[ tak-til, -tahyl ]
adjective
of, pertaining to, endowed with, or affecting the sense of touch.
perceptible to the touch; tangible.
Yes I was mocking you for your incorrect usage of tactile, it's TACTICAL
How the frick can an MMO be tactile you twit?
I can't think of a better word that encompasses the sense of greater physical stimulation due to the game being more responsive, quicker-paced, and stimulating due to encounter variability.
I already made the mandatory "but worlo" bait post, you wait your turn next thread

Gotta say, I'm surprised that I like the look of the Hrothgals. I just pray to god that that they don't become the flavor of the expansion. I like it more when it's the occasional one, same with Viera.
Do they let you import your character if you have the game installed or people has to craft their WoLs again?
>yawnfail
>dawngrade
Oh nice benchmark trailer is out
honestly the only real example of a character being ruined is this one
turned him into a rapist or something
>completely different lighting conditions and fov
Why do you homosexuals keep doing this
>left
twink pre-30
>right
twink hits 30
>left = closetted rapist
>right = proud rapist
honestly decent glowup
this isnt really hard. take a pic of your character in the log in screen then take a pic of your character in the benchmark character screen. anything else is completely worthless to compare.
i feel that
You look like a gay porn actor.
Just because he's a shitskin doesn't mean he's automatically gay, it just makes him statistically more likely to be gay.
yeah my gf said the stubble made him look kind of off
>Disabled by owner
Squenix shitting themselves.

Sex with trannies
People saying to rotate your character in the CC are right, it's just lighting issues with people taking screenshots in full shadow.
Pic not related
You're blind
Nice pixels bro
Fricking nice, bottom fps was 60 during combat.
I spent like two hours tweaking the settings to eek out an Average 45 and Minimum 29 while maintaining a decent graphical experience.
Honestly, more fun spent optimizing than playing most jobs in this game.
>benchmark is a disaster, loads of people can't run the game anymore
QRD? Is it like PSO2 where the BRs can't play anymore because AVX is required now?
>QRD?
Source: His ass. Though if there's any merit to his claim then you probably aren't far off since apparently the benchmark doesn't work on win7. I think my computer is in a gray area specs wise and still scored a 'high' though so I can't imagine what kind of potato people are using that actually has issues.
if it's just win7 there will be a bypass
I think he's just making it up. I would imagine that the only people who can't run the benchmark are people who can barely run the game now. I would also have to believe that there will be an option to simply revert the graphics update. Maybe I'm naive, but like, even the HD/HQ menus are an option you toggle
They censored the cleavage completely on the female version of the Viper set
Compare the art they showed at Fanfest vs the actual ingame model. Notice nit only the big bulging cleavage, but the belt buckle that's not covering the cleavage at all, but is deliberately in the infamy model version. This is straight up false advertisement and more people need to be talking about this.
Ethics department still alive and well at SE
I think it’s also because they are lazy and just left the male version of the AF with some slight geometry change

Lyse already had a bust size before that opening movie was ever made. She was in the game in ARR.
Your character has no breasts anyway
>update alienates a portion of the fanbase
You know Squeenix is dead when they don't know their prioritize and accidentally killed their last cash cow for stupid reasons.
Is it end of June yet?
Nice male character my dude but where are the fricking breasts
Not allowed 🙁
i wish middies were real
i just straight up cannot tell which of these is supposed to be the "graphical update"
Left has skin and hair resolution mods so the only real difference is small adjustments to the face
what does it mean if I can tell but you can't
this morons have to be doing it on purpose, right?
taking the pictures while facing completely away from the light source
whats the most high iq class
MNK or BLM
everyone else is just burst and then 123 until next burst
mnk is just 123 during the burst
yes, but mechanics at least force you to think about the 123 a tiny bit
as opposed to RPR or NIN where it's just 123 and sometimes maybe refresh a maintenance buff that lasts a full calendar year
i thought the mnk alternating 123 was kinda hard to keep up with until i learned about the buff splitting options
you can organize your buffs/debuffs in such a way that each forms maintenance thing is clearly visible in a different part of your screen so you can just quickly double check in your peripheral if you need to do the upkeep gcd or the damage gcd for each form
makes it way easier than actually trying to constantly juggle what youre supposed to be doing by memory
I do that too, also extremely helpful for tanking to know when defensive or Reprisal are going to fall off
Trust me, I'm really not heaping praise on MNK here so much as I'm admonishing every other job in the game
I've played MNK for ages and I maintain that its not hard especially not with the last 2 expansions worth of changes
Hell did they ever fix spamming Dragon Kick doing like 95% of the damage of an actual rotation?
oh I agree it's not particularly hard, but neither is any other job in the game at this point
The only job that requires any thinking at all is BLM, but BLM is incredibly annoying both to play as and to be in a party with
do I have to sub to run the benchmark? I haven't been subbed in over a year and I'm not resubbing for this SHIT but I am a lil curious what my middie looks like
No you just download it off the site, don't even need to log in.
You dont have to sub
t. unsubbed
No its a separate download
you don't need to sub to run the benchmark, but unless you saved your character data beforehand, you'll have to recreate your character

>can literally tell where new texture ends and old one begins
Nice quality control yoshikeks
Well yeah you're using old gear that hasn't been updated. Skin/flesh/body is part of the actual gear model
Gear doesn't matter, here is Viper AF

this is really going to suck when im zoomed in to my characters neck. frick man i dont think im going to renew my sub after all...

>femhroths
confused, the board tourist remarks in the only way he knows how: a screen capture, of his native habitat
Curious how people always put the 7.0 characters in complete shadow to show how bad they look now, deliberately choosing thee worst light angle they can find, but they never post the worst light angle possible in the current game. You know, when your character looks like a fricking rapist when there's a bright light immediately above your character casting very harsh shadows all over the face. No one uses pictures of that. I wonder why.
There was even a face 4 femra before who admitted that they were on team "they fricked up my character" when looking at their character on the fricking character creator but said that they realized it was mostly bad lighting once they actually saw the character moving in the actual benchmark.
This shit is mostly a case of sub-80 IQ morons that don't understand how lighting works
that lightning only exists is old content like ARR dungeons. they did touch up Prae's lightning so it doesn't look so bad but the ending cutscene of Wanderer's Palace Hard still has that classic horrible lightning for example
lightning depends on the area the cutscenes takes place in
funniest shit is when the cutscene where Thordan dies while getting spooked by you, for some reason it renders your face like it's 1.0
the only "complete shadow" in the benchmark is the character being under the shade of trees, where lacking the realistic reflection of the eyes many characters have dead fish eyes.
>loads of people can't run the game anymore
As an actual poorgay I shudder to think what they were trying it on considering my specs are basically the PS4 equivalent and it put me in Standard at 1080p with the settings I use in the game now imported which are mostly high save for Shadows.
tldr: It's actually very forgiving for a graphical update and the upscalers are implemented pretty well.
the game continued to run on PS3 strength potatos because its very well optimized on PC and a lot of people use this game as a social platform and don't play other games, so they've had no reason to upgrade until now
I thought the update would hit me hard but I can still score very high with settings set to high instead of max. Playing with a 6700K and 980Ti. I still have time for an actual upgrade. I would have to test my CPU in-game for objects rendering since that's my main bottleneck. I OCed to 4.4ghz and hope that will help mitigate the frame drops in cities a little bit
my old laptop ran FFXIV on a barely 30 but usually about in a 25 FPS with integrated Intel graphics
it runs the benchmark on a stable 8FPS
Hoyoverse games for example are ludicrously popular solely because they run even on a really bad office laptop
my new one is really beefy but if I didn't buy it because of the Palworld hype I'd be either in stages of grief right now, or would be looking up gaming laptops
But mihoyo games cannot be modded due to being not on steam. Steam is the best platform for gaming and Jap games get advantage here. No Chink gacha in steam.
How is Steam supposed to aid modding?
>But mihoyo games cannot be modded due to being not on steam
Are you moronic or false flagging? I don't even play homosexual games but I know they have a Nexus mods page
Genshin gets mods because it's a unity game. Any unity game you care about can get mods too if the playerbase cares. There's people playing with naked girl Yu-Gi-Oh cards in Master Duel.
Master duel is on steam so it can be modded.
Nikke isnt on steam and people are modding the game with naked girls too because it uses Unity.

Why are people sperging about their characters anyway? That's why everyone is getting a free fantasia with Dawntrail, in case you need to fix problems.
>JUST EFFECTIVELY KILL THE CHARACTER YOU'VE PLAYED THOUSANDS OF HOURS ON AND ARE EMOTIONALLY ATTACHED TO BECAUSE THE DEVS FORCEFULLY FRICKED UP THEIR APPEARANCE
The changes aren't that drastic though. You may have to adjust some colors and such to get back to what you had before big fricking deal.

You alright, Anon?
I did all that but I had my father in my life so I didn't turn into a headcase that suffers ego death because my catgirl's lip curls one degree less than they used to.
I also made a good character to begin with so she looks great in the update.
>so I didn't turn into a headcase that suffers ego death because my catgirl's lip curls one degree less than they used to.
You were well versed in "tch... *teleports behind you*" roleplay I see.
Yes, I met my wife doing that shit on Gaia.

They already did it to me during the 1.X transition.
And then they kept doing it to me by fricking up the jobs I liked to play and forcing me to change.

There are seriously people who can't even run the new graphics update? If they can afford a monthly sub and paying for expansions they should be able to afford a computer that isn't 15 years old

they have created the most disgusting creatures imaginable, I can only kneel
It actually is pretty spectacular how bad they are. I will say that I do like them more than Femroe, but significantly less than Elezen, and I don't even like Elezen. They did the Hrothgar shit again where the hairstyles are tied to the face, and the face only has like 5 hairstyles anyway. Horrible

I've seen the screenshots of the people screeching about this and like 90 percent of the time the after picture looks better.
I'm pretty sure that everyone agrees that the after picture looks better. It's just that there might be one or two very specific certain aspects of the after character that they cannot get over
f4 bun bros it is with much pleasure that i say that we have won BIGLY
benchmark feels like its not the game's lighting
It is not, run the actual benchmark with your character to see like 99% of the graphics improvements. The character creator is an extremely odd blend of 2.X lighting/shaders from the game client and 7.0 character models
benchmark was whatever, fem Hroth have the worst case of "Only 2 angles look good" I have ever seen. The thing that really deflates my motivations is that I absolutely despise out parts for the MSQ. Krile, Wuk, Twins and the bunny boy do nothing for me and just seem annoying.
My lizard looked weird in the character creation lighting but in normal lighting she looks about the same.
Honestly I think most people forgot the character creator has awful lighting. Still cant believe we cant just control whether or not to shine a light on our characters face when thats a feature in fricking Gpose
>My lizard looked weird in the character creation lighting but in normal lighting she looks about the same.
Yeah that's how I felt about my fiddie as well. Looked really off putting until I put her in the actual benchmark. Then it looked pretty similar.
whats the closest nin weapon to a viper looking swords
What you're using right now or Sandungs from HW
I ain't touching the benchmark. Gonna put my trust in my PC and pray it lets me play. Or I blacklist everyone in my instance until I can upgrade my PC.
If you aren't happy with your chracter then just wait for the inevitable "downgrade" mods. You know some autist is gonna put some out.

Apparently your 'cord is hopped up on raw cope.
really interested to see you argue with dataminers about what they've found
Nta but I hope cosmetic mods are gone so the 2nd life troons frick off
They won't be. A lot of old shit that lingers might be flushed though which is a net positive, there's way too many ancient junk mods hanging around.
they won't be because very little has actually changed under the hood if it doesn't control materials or face bones
"total modbeast death second life will burn don't come to ziv tomorrow" types will be on suicide watch in late june
>Apparently your 'cord
I don't have a discord, I just reposted something that I read here. I don't use mods
Face sculpts won't guaranteed, bone incompatibility. Most anything else is still up for grabs though.
