I am not sure if 15th and 21th are identical, but both mouths are much wider than the original one.
And now the lower lip looks overthick in the dark.
The original mouth is smaller, and looks unfeeling instead of grinning.
It has been exaggerated in shape and size.

I must admit I'd given up on this getting fixed, and I'm really impressed by the effort of A-Net and the presence and quality of feedback from Gaile. Great stuff, and thanks.

Not only has my warrior still not been fixed, she now has the shadow problems everyone else seems to have - namely at the corner of the eyes, the "whiskers", and above the lips.
You wanted pictures, Gaile... here you go
As for the hair problems regarding that particular hairstyle, it's always been there for me. I initially thought it was my video card, but later learnt it wasn't. Phew. Fixing it at some stage would be nice but I'd rather they fixed the faces first :3

Well, today’s update delivered good and bad results, but the improvements seem to prevail (right word? English is not my first language…).
First of all (and most important for me ), the mouth of my necromancer has been fixed, thanks a lot! I’m really delighted about that. Unfortunately, the chin still looks the same as after sept. 15th. If this could also be fixed, it would be great.
Furthermore, like Kedlai Everwinter, I realized problems with the shading with practically all of my characters. In most situations it looks like they have grime in their face, like mine workers. This was not the case before today’s update.
I see that these things can’t be solved altogether from one day to the other, and I really want to express my gratitude for the work that is done by Gaile and by ANet as a whole.

Gaile, I found this error ( or glitch ? ) on my ele after the 21st update: seems like there is a line just below her necklace and the shades are different from her skin tone. It wont disappear even if i tried positioning her in differrent areas and lightning.

I also noticed some new problems with my necromancers hair that was not there before. It is more noticable in darker areas. Links below. May have to click on the pics a few times to get max resolution.

Noticed something new about my assassin,having what looks like smeared lipstick on the left corner of her mouth. Does not look like that on the other side. The more that she is turned the more is becomes noticable.

Urgh. Just logged into my Ele for the first time after the update yesterday. Something wierd is going on with her eyebrows now.
The dent on the side of her face is still there, as is the wierd lighting under the side of her lips that makes her look like she's chewing tobacco.

Yay my Cherrie finally got her dentist appointment ^_^ *happy*
Thank you ANet Team for recognizing the changed face issue as an important matter to us players. I'm really really grateful for returning my mesmer's apperance! Well, more or less, her mouth is still opened wider than before, which gives her an always-astonished look (compared with hot-chick-from-the-cover-slightly-opened-mouth from before), but I can't really complain anymore, I'm satisfied with how she looks atm. Thnx!
sincerly,
Cherrie

Excellent job on restoring the look of my characters, all of them now look very close to what they did when I chose their faces.
I'm no longer greeted at my login screen with an image of a past friend who went psychotic and stabbed several people while robbing their houses, my warrior looks like me again (or at least the way I chose him to look).
Great job with this A-net
Faith restored.....you guys do listen.... tyvm

I'm saving all my gratitude for when my warrior's bald spot is gone. I'm also wondering why a 1 week-old issue was fixed, but nothing was done about an issue over60 weeks old!!!
I'm getting really tired of asking for this to be fixed and getting little more than questionable sympathy and comments that simply parrot what I said before. I seriously wonder how hard it could be to fix a simply but blatantly obvious clipping error. I want to hear from the art team why it's so [apparently] difficult. They've had a LOOOONG time to work on it, and I find it unfathomable that they could go so long without knowing of this problem.
Every time there's been an update since this whole thing started, I've just about jumped for joy at the idea that this problem could be fixed. But what do I get? Nothing. At all. I could not care less about what my character's faces have looked like over the past week. That is not an exaggeration. All I want is to be able to MOVE without a helmet, and not see a hideous bald spot. I've tried to be nice, I've tried to be polite, but at this point I am genuinely pissed off!!! I paid to buy ANet products and I demand satisfaction!
I want to know what is being done to address this problem, and how long it will take to correct it. Considering ANet has had over a year to work on it, I certainly hope the answers are not 'nothing' and 'we don't know' are not accurate. I think 'all we can' and 'very soon' would be more acceptable, if a bit disappointing.
For anyone who thinks I am whining or overreacting, imagine if the things that have happened to you characters' appearances had been a problem FOR NINE MONTHS, AND HAD BEEN AROUND BEFORE YOU STARTED PLAYING, AND NOTHING HAD BEEN DONE EVEN WHEN CHARACTER APPEARANCES WERE GETTING A MAJOR OVERHAUL Think about it! I don't believe for a half-second that you wouldn't be upset. A half-second may be generous.
Again, in case you missed it, I'm autistic and it's extremely difficult for me to tell if I'm just being very assertive, or if I'm being a total asshole, but the former is my intention here.
I do not give ANet money to ignore me.

ANet try to keep original appearance of the characters with upgrades, AJM.
Like a lot of players, I create Alexia, my warrior, there's 1 year, with 1 model because I like it.
So, I was very dissapointed when I seen the modification for the 09/15, and now, I'm very happy to see my former appearance has come back! (since 09/21)
Now, I want play with Nightfall with an enormous pleasure!
(Sorry for my so bad english, I'm french!)
So, there're 2 little bugs since may for the first, and some days for the second :
The kurzick's armour at left, entering into the shoulder.
A very minor bug for the hair of my warrior.

Even still, ive waited since i created this character, which was 15 months ago, for this minor anoying problem (which isnt satisfying at all, seeing your character with a bald huge spot on the head each time he walks) to be fixed. And what makes me think Arena Net will even take what I just typed into consideration? Nothing, but i might as well try my best to help notice the anet team on certain minor things(which do matter alot, after all, detail is For the Win) they should improve/fix, for the good of the whole community of this wonderfull game called Guildwars. I hope I was clear, and formal enough for your understanding, Miss Gray. Regards. -Lynxius |
With all respect Anet, we all know that if you were being paid monthly fees from every guild wars player, your concern about this would be higher.

The more I look at the pictures of AJM's warrior the more it looks like the metal "knots" that they've portrayed warriors using in movies to keep their long hair out of their face.
HOWEVER I doubt seriously that's what it is, it just looks like it on a quick glance, imho.

Has anyone noticed that the graphics seem to have lost the glare bluryiness they had before is it just me?
Must say my character is looking tons better not perfectly how I wanted her to look but I can put up with that. looking at the Lip sync I got to say it was...ok I think it's proberly im used to Half life 2 when I see the word lip sync.
There are still some graphic issues that still need to be addressed so im hoping they get addresed any time soon and defintly the bold patch...I've never noticed it to be honest and see tons of Warriors with that hair style, meh

Bumping this again. Maybe someday ANet will acknowledge this problem, and the fact that it affects quite a few of their customers, whether most of said customers are willing/able to say so or not.

yeah earings on the 15k luxon ele armor still arent back

I've been hoping ever since the preview that they'd fixed the lighting and shading in the login screen, all my characters hair color and skintone look yellow-ish =.=; and please bring back the earings for the elems 15k luxon!!!

My Elementalist still has dents in her face and chewing-tobacco bulges beside her bottom lip, and the shadows on my Mesmer's face are still so messed up that in some lighting she looks like a crone. It's getting really old.

) but simply a lack of time to address them all instantly. Please be patient, and know that we will continue to address the issues that are being pointed out. Not every single answer may please every single person, but the team is working hard to do their best in every possible instance.If there are issues that continue to need addressing, as of today, then please take and post a new image. I'm sorry to impose on you by asking that, but there are many images being recycled, and it's impossible to know if the matter has been addressed. A new image, as of this day, would be most appreciated.
And, may I ask that you please try very hard to keep the frustration in check? Our art team consists of a wonderful group of people, and I would like to point to this thread with pride in our community of helpful and reasonable players, rather than blush at the intemperate, unkind, even bafflingly superior comments that some are inclined to make. Knowing that they will help you, and that all they ask is a bit of time, please write to them as you would want to be addressed yourself. Thanks for working with me on that.

Keep up the good work and my apologies if was a bit too harsh earlier, I just hated the feeling that i was being ignored considering this issue deserved being taken care off looong long ago.
But im glad you took it into consideration (the bald spots).
