PorsaLindahl Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 Aye that's actually what I meant. Just didn't make that very clear. Revert back to the old colours and then add the new colours for people who like them, win win. That's probably what they were trying to do, but whoever coded it had a brain-fart and screwed it all up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PorsaLindahl Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 The team is aware of the issue and looking into it. -eric It's been a week and no further word. Is it going to be fixed or are we all screwed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, they have had a LOT of brain farts lately. Come to think of it...it didn't use to happen lumped like this. Hm... ...maybe something big's coming. Or they are working on another game in parallel to managing SWTOR. Edited December 4, 2017 by Cuiwe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same way they didn't update us for a month when the sparkly eyes were a thing, I doubt we'll get anything from them now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CloudCastle Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 (edited) The same way they didn't update us for a month when the sparkly eyes were a thing, I doubt we'll get anything from them now. This isn't changing the texture of the eyes, it's changing the actual color. In the case of my Zabrak, I suspect they were switched to the cartel market white eyes option...yet I never paid for that. I would think BW might have a problem with that, but if it isn't repeatable or something that could be done on purpose, then maybe not, I don't know. Just checked my other characters. Mirialan with golden brown eyes now has green. Togruta with dark brown eyes now has...I don't know what it is...something lighter, gray? I can't tell. My blue eyed characters seem ok, but maybe I just couldn't zoom in enough to see better. All in all I think I have at least 4 characters affected. Looks like brown and yellow were on the list of color bugs, but not for all races. My yellow-eyed Purebloods still look normal to me. NPC's are being affected as well. Clearly a wide reaching bug. Would be nice to just get an update or an ETA on a fix. Edited December 4, 2017 by CloudCastle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lammia Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 I logged in first time since the patch today to see my DS V Inquisitor's red eyes (dark side corruption) having some weird orange patches. I take it it's another symptom of the same problem? Hopefully to be fixed soon? https://i.imgur.com/N8nkc0B.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Dark-Side corruption, they become this flashy-light yellow... it's awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nmyownworld Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 Hi Eric Musco. Any word of fix for the eyes? Currently, there's a seriously zombie-est look to character and NPC eyes in cutscenes. Brainzzz!" Hoping for a fix, soon. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the time of the year they're famously absent until January-ish. Due to the absolute enormous amount of bugs with this patch, I'm not playing until they return after the holidays and maybe try to do something about it.

Between this and some other issues I know of some accounts that are going to be canceled if they're not fixed with the next patch on the 12th. Maybe they just don't care. And if they don't care, then why should their subscribers care enough to toss money at them every month? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shirtandtie Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 (edited) I am comforted to know I am not the only one upset about this unintentional change. I logged off before the last patch in November with my Zabrak having yellow eyes and when I logged back in a few days ago this same character had bright blue eyes. It was disorienting and I did not know what to make of it. It may sound odd but the way I enjoy playing this game is heavily influenced by the color of my characters eyes. Right now I am playing this character with a helmet and though I find it satisfactory I can tell the novelty will wear off soon. If I get bored of seeing my character with a helmet on all the time I will probably unsub and return at a later time.

Releximas Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 Hey all.... read this post from beginning to end and while I agree with the majority of respondents in wanting our pre-5.5 colors/textures back, I'm experiencing an "eye" problem not posted (here) as yet... in certain locations on Fleet, in FPs or on planetary missions (in and out of cut-scenes), my alts look CROSS-EYED!! The next time I see this, will try to take a screenshot and post back, but the effect is really..... disconcerting.... to say the least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The next time I see this, will try to take a screenshot and post back, but the effect is really..... disconcerting.... to say the least. My original trooper's* right eye has always been slightly off, like lazy eye. But I've always considered it part of her "charm" because it made her look, I don't know, natural for a lack of a better term. But I know what you're saying. I've seen it quite a bit, but more pronounced, with other characters as well. *Created 12/16/11. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timewasterTK Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 Was less obvious on some characters than others but once I logged into some of the more obvious ones... once I hit those I instantly came here hoping there was a thread... The most extreme changes are on my Zabrak characters, on both sides, where there are wild shifts like bright yellow turning into blueish grey. That said even some of the more mild ones are definitively worse looking, and/or just not what was chosen/intended for the character. Mild eyes looking severe. Hues no longer working with skin tone, etc. These need to be reverted. I can't be the only one who puts work into designing characters to look a certain way and the way humans register faces is largely based around the eyes. Having them all SNAFU is a detriment to everyone's character design. There must be something controlling reflect/specular levels that could be controlled without creating hue shifts or baking in attempts at lighting that override the base color.

Darittha Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 (edited) i had unlocked cool sith yellow eyes for most of my human characters. not only did they lost their original glow and are now more darker than even normal eyes were before but all colors on all available eyes are so messed up i cant stand it. also it looks like they have layer of glass over them. its just wrong Edited December 9, 2017 by Darittha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PorsaLindahl Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 Time for today's gratuitous "Where's our update?" Gonna keep this up until Dec 12, when it gets fixed or we get an update saying it's going to be fixed before Christmas. Otherwise I may just have to get a new game for Christmas.

iFenris Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 (edited) So it seems like they are restoring the old eyes, which is good, but I will be honest, I am gonna miss the current Vibrant Blue eyes the most .. kinda just hoping that some of the new textures will be added to that Extended Options pack, as I was quite fond of the new Green/Blue eyes.

Jagaimee Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 (edited) The eyes. Are still. Screwed up. (For some, at least.) They kept the textures but attempted to revert the colors. This did NOT work. Zabrak eyes are still far lighter than they should be - my zabrak with dark brown eyes still has light yellow ones. Hexid has peach-yellow eyes. "Vibrant" green eyes are an incredibly dull shade of gray-green. Hardly "vibrant." Every other "vibrant" color seems to be fixed, however.

AmyBA Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Chiming in, Fix did not help! This is what the dark brown eyes still look like: https://i.imgur.com/3Ll4H0R.jpg There are literally no brown eyes in game anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JediJuliusDavin Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Their fix only really helped the normal blue and green eyes, brown eyes are crap and now the new Dark side eyes are crap. How hard is this to fix and get right?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inzuher Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 (edited) The human eyes were way better before you 'fixed' them. Take the cartel market blue eyes. Before the supposed fix: https://i.imgur.com/PTUuORv.png After the supposed fix: https://i.imgur.com/f8iBE69.png Before they were way brighter and thus attracted far more attention.

DarkEcIipse Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 (edited) I rather have the shinny eyes back. Eyes still look crap. The only real difference is they just look duller. Oh and white looks completely wrong and everything everybody just mentioned about the other eye colours. Brown looks like orange....
