    Yeah I tried adjusting my MH with the free Fantasia and I can't get it to look how I want since the update so I gave up. Honestly they just need to revamp some of the race looks completely and stop locking major changes to your race behind a paywall. I can see paying for gender and race changes, but face sculpting come on, no reason for this.

    I think paying for a look change in general is dumb for a game you have to buy and pay a monthly fee to play. Same goes for the entire mogstation. Absolute scam theyre running over there.

    The graphics update is nice, however changing our characters faces is not. Character visuals were supposed to be just a better version, but instead some of them ended up completely different looking. Not cool for a game that's been out now for 10+ years. An easy fix if possible would be just to let us have both the old models and the new models.

    I can remember when I asked Victoria why she kept using the same pose, now she has a million. :)

    I really loved the Auri horn glowing, his comment that the horns don't have blood vessels so they shouldn't glow pink makes no sense to me. From what I understood of the lore, the horns are sensory organs, and they grow back when damaged, so why wouldn't they have blood vessels? I've been happily taking screenshots of any time the light makes my horn tips glow because it looks so good, and I'm going to be sad when it's gone.

    The graphics changes ended up being a rushed introduction after the backlash to the initial upgrades, which where demonstrated in the first DT benchmark.
    The second benchmark fixed several of the issues, but not all.

    Particular character faces where changed and could not be reverted back to the original looks.
    Colours changed, again with no method to adjust back.

    The company seems to have a lot on it's plate at the moment with the mixed reaction to DT, not helped by key staff also working on other projects.

    Fixed soon is likely to mean fixed later.
