Cuiwe Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 (edited) What's up with sparkly eyes in the character select? They were never this much, almost Asian, sparkly. Edited October 10, 2017 by Cuiwe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vagessel Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Maybe it means we can get Acina/Arcann eyes on our characters soon. You mean glassy-moist look to the eyes, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jagaimee Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Asians have sparkly eyes? Think he meant Anime? As for the sparkly eyes... I've noticed that, depending on graphics settings, eyes can appear to be either so shiny they look like they're made of glass, or so flat and dull they look painted on. Maybe this update tweaked the lighting in the character select screen? (Haven't logged on to check.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curious to see if this is case though. The light that shines on my agent is as bright and harsh as the lighting in a junior high locker room, I feel bad for her.

Cuiwe Posted October 10, 2017 Author Share Posted October 10, 2017 Maybe it means we can get Acina/Arcann eyes on our characters soon. You mean glassy-moist look to the eyes, right? Yes. It has that sparkle in the upper portion of the eyes. I don't see it on Red Zabraks(and Purebloods I think), but I see it on everyone else.

grania Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 You're right, it's there, I see the sparkles. (And of course my agent still needs sunglasses on her own ship. I don't know why that light bothers me so.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jagaimee Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Just logged in to check, and...whoa. Yeah. That's sparkly. And at last I seeee the liiiiight... though maybe not to that ridiculous degree. Yikes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mubrak Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 (edited) It's not just in the character selection it's while playing too, character eyes are now much more "reflective" (i.e. show some fake reflection map) 5.5 quickly rises in my list of most annoying patches.

betaku Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 (edited) Not for me : http://hpics.li/ed6750c What your graphics settings ?

TyonYlle Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Huh, I kinda think it's a neat update, like the "eyebrow crinkle" update. I'm good with any of these updates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ioue Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 I think they need to adjust the shaders a bit because it is kind of bright @__@ I have mine on all max, and while I do appreciate more depth the eye shaders have gotten in this game, that brightness... it just needs a bit of a touch-up ^^;; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jagaimee Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 This is really annoying. Everybody looks like they have glitter permanently stuck in their eyes. Changing the graphics settings, like anti-aliasing, does not help. But it's just a cosmetic bug. There goes any hope of it ever being fixed. *cough cathar and zabrak skin colors cough, dual vibrosword bug, etc. etc. etc.* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Estelindis Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Something probably needs to be tweaked somewhere. The eye shimmer looks cool on the login screen, but in cutscenes it's distractingly bright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grania Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Changing settings didn't help me either. Everyone still looks like they're either gazing at a long line of light bulbs with the lampshades off of them, or got eye tattoos. It's not my intention to sound snotty about this, because mistakes can be made and fixed. I'd just like to know if this was a mistake and will be fixed, or if this is the new normal that I'm going to have to get accustomed to. I like taking screenshots of the game and these strange glass/ice eyes really futz them up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a NVIDIA graphics card with 387.92 driver version and windows 10 creators update (15063.674) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grania Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Well I'm definitely due to update my drivers, now the tedious process of trying to connect to the dang thing. Thanks, I'll see how it goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth-Obvious Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 NVIDIA or AMD graphics card ? Which driver ? which version/build of windows ? I have a NVIDIA graphics card with 387.92 driver version and windows 10 creators update (15063.674) I don't think it has anything to do with the graphic settings. It looks like they added a new reflection map to the eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a NVIDIA graphics card with 387.92 driver version and windows 10 creators update (15063.674) I don't think it's a hardware/software issue. I'm on integrated Intel on Linux, and have the same sparkly eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaraSkyJade Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 I am on Windows 7 with nVidia version 387.92. I've tried various settings, but see the sparkly eyes regardless. They are definitely distracting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
