Cartel Market Hairstyles and Oversaturation.


Recommended Posts

With the latest release of hairstyles, I can't help but yet again there is a blatant and obvious issue that doesn't seem to be addressed or spoken about, at least as far as I could see.

 

To get straight to the point, the vanilla hair styles matched to the colour option of number 8 (Going off human cosmetic options, this may be different for other races), this offers a nice deep dark red that is pretty good and works well in nearly all lighting conditions in game.

 

However, when you use the same colour option with the vast majority of hairstyles from the cartel market, that deep dark red becomes a much brighter, flatter and bland red that often just... looks poor. What is most frustrating about this is most of the other colours still work rather well with those hairstyles, but a certain few are just far too oversaturated.

 

This may seem like a small thing, but a small fix to this issue would be greatly appreciated by a lot of players I'm sure. Please at least consider looking into this at some point, Bioware, because given how much customization options you've been giving us recently - it seems almost shocking that this was not seen by yourselves and if it was, simply ignored.

This is definitely an issue I've had, that's kind of annoying.

 

Here's the original hair.

Now check out Shae's.

Lana's is also guilty.

Senya's is the best of the bunch, but it's not perfect either.

(The double braid style is also definitely guilty of this, but I don't have a picture handy!)

 

Consider this a nice QoL thing to fix.

It's an issue that's been going on for a long time and, to my knowledge, BioWare hasn't acknowledged it at all. It makes several hair colours (including black, to my dismay) pretty much impossible to use with the newer styles.

 

At this point I'd really just like to see some response to the issue, even if it's just to say everything is somehow as intended and that we shouldn't expect a fix.
