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.
Ms.Gray, again, I apologize if I appear rude, that was not my intention. I have a mental condition, as I have said, that makes it hard for me to tell that sort of thing. But it felt as if you were blowing me off, as the only comment I saw directly addressing this issue was a joke. The fact that the art team has had over a year to address the issue also makes this quite upsetting, and makes promises that it will be fixed a bit hollow-sounding, as does the fact that this does not appear to be an overly complicated fix. If the art team is working on this, they have my gratitude, but so far you have been evasive regarding this. That's probably part of your job, and I shouldn't hold it against you, but it's hard not to when I'm this upset.

As for addressing the art team as I would want to be addressed myself, if I had sat on an issue for as long as they have without fixing it, I would expect people to be less-than-pleased with me. I would not expect them to have the best of manners towards me. That's not how I'd like to be addressed, but it is how I could reasonably expect to be.

Basically, I've got 9 months of frustration built up on this issue, and some people have even more. That's a lot of frustration, and I'm afraid it's a bit more than I can keep fully under control. Sorry.

Oh and, I don't care about the changes to the faces, partially because none of my characters were messed up, but also because I know that now we get moving mouths!

I can't wait to see my characters with moving mouths. I'll replay many cutscenes with my characters just for the kick of it once it gets fully implemented. I'll be seeing my beloved characters in a whole new fashion then. Can't wait to try them out.

Gaile, thank the art team. Out of my twelve characters, only one of them has a slight change and it's so small that it's barely noticeable.

Well they finally fixed the problem with the female 15k Dragon Armor that I noticed over 6 months ago...

They did implement the facial animations already, I beleive they will only be in the Nightfall Cinematics. But if you played the Preview you would have seen it in the first Mission Cinematic at least.

Problems with my two main characters as of 10/4



I really, really hope ANet's artists can get rid of the tobacco-bulges under the sides of my elementalist's mouth, those are visible even outside the harsh lighting of the Harvest Temple.

I found a glitch (while playing air guitar) on my 15k Citadel Mesmer Armor.

If Undyed, you wont see it- but after dying it, the green peeks through right in the crotch (can i say that word here?) and there is a spot on the right back shoulder (but I always wear my cape on that character, so...)

Ill try to take a pic... but then again this stuff doesnt bother me.

edit - male mesmer, dyed black on the coat and the pants. havent tested other colors (obviously)

edit 2- my characters look awesome (come to think of it, I havent taken off my warrior helmet in a year now, which is the only one i havent looked at)

Gaile, can we get some word on the progress here? There are still outstanding issues and it'd be nice to get those cleared up.

Yet another bump to get an answer. Or am I the only one who has a character that hasn't been fixed? :/

No. My Mesmer's face still looks like a crone's in some light, and my Elementalist is still sucking on tobacco plugs.

Time for the two week bump with no answer.
I'm beginning to lose hope that the remaining issues will ever be fixed.

And the Tuesday night/after an update bump.

Some official response would be most appreciated, even if it is "bugger off and leave it alone".

Is this problem still being worked or has it been put on the back burner?
Yes, I want some reassurance.

We all understand your character has been changed, and she already told you they were working on it once. That is no reason to constantly bump this. The discussion has died. Now let this thread just die with it, when they have an update on this, they will post it, no need to keep bumping.

We have rules about double posting.
