Yup, my mesmer had a change. She recieved a nice set of makeup from Anet.

Why? Because i'm worth it..

They also changed the Dervish long pony tail I liked so much, as well as the face.

In the nice update thread there are more examples.

It may have to do with ANet preparing the character models for Nightfall?! Supposedly Nightfall will introduce facial animation.

"Pre-nerf" is incorrect. It's pre-buff.

All my chars have darker, more distinct eyes and the females have fuller lips. Quite happy with it tbh.

I've noticed some glitches with armors. Sometimes on my mesmer my armor blinks or I can even see her back right through it. Anybody else noticed that?

I'm somewhat 50/50 on this specific part of the update. While i guess it's mostly a problem of being used to something and then being forced to get used to something completely different.
But there are actually two faces that will probably make me delete and remake the character. My Warrioress got lots and lots of eyeshadow and the face was made even more masculine. Congrats, she's looking like an ogre on testoreone. *del*


And my Ranger was hit even more severe by the new faces... this image here shows it quite well i guess:

*sigh* Probably gonne delete her as well and remake with a proper face in the hope of it not being changed again anytime soon.

Aside from my ele's face not looking overly powdered, nothing has really changed for me.

Nice face.... How can Anet even consider faces like that? I'm allready in an aggressive mood for the Dragon Punch combo on Street Fighter 2 turning into Fireball, this tops it off. My blood is boiling.

I hope mine hasn't changed I'm checking it now.

Yeah sorry about that, I was half way through editing when I hit that stupid "back button" on my mouse

Do Anet even test updates at all? I mean come on, to miss a face like that needs serious attention.

My mesmer now looks like she was just crying

Please ANet , fix it

UPDATE: seems it could be caused by "wrong lightning/shading" at login screen, because later "in game" my mesmer looks mostly OK, but from some points of view and in differents areas (diffferent lightning) these flaws are still visible again.

UPDATE2: MAYBE they were always here, just I didnt notice them.. and now I did because they are SO visible at login screen... So plz ANet fix at least this buggy login screen graphics...

Looks like Mascara runs..

Does changing the shader options reduce the glitches. I would'nt bank on them fixing it, I still get rips in my fow skirt at certain camera angles.

Sadly, Shaders are different from shades.
As i wrote in another thread, shaders are mostly effects like the flickering air around the fire in the login screen, or the Ice Wastes' Glow in the Underworld, or the shiny glow on armors.

That's the changes which was made to my mesmer face. Rather minor compared to changes I've seen to other faces.

There's some faces anet simply need to fix right now. For instance the #3 male mesmer face on the pvp screen has this floating texture over his right eye.

I love the new update! I was really worried when the log in screen shows the characters in normal Ascalon armor...

His eyes are darker - more evil looking . Looks wierd in the Invent Screen though.

Maybe we would be able to see a difference if you didn't have the mask on? All I notice is that in the second picture she seems to be smiling.
