    I knew there was something about the new male avatar that just didn't seem . . . right.

    I finally pinned it down. They have no eyelashes. And barely have eyebrows.

    Now, I have not re-created this character since the new avatar was put in - so I do not know if this is just a fluke leftover from when the character was 'translated' or not. Hmm. Perhaps I will create a character in single player offline to see.... (scurries off to look) Nope. No eyelashes.

    So if folks are wondering why their avatars look weird, that's why.

    His Right eye also has a flaw within it's outer edge.

    I too had to change in my Avatar when I saw his face... yuk...
    From the profile view, you can't really change that face at all, so all male Avatars do now all look alike
    The new body skin is shiny, so I chose the darkest black skin this time around, whereas before he was just Asian, now my Avatar is a black Asian looking guy.
    "It was the only thing I could do to the face because he looked too much like Florida Governor Rick Scott, who is far too scary a face for me to have to look at too long o_O

    This face doesn't morph as good as the last face did... he's always going to look the same.

    My guy's head is too big for his helmet (Lord Marshal Helm) and his butt is too big for his kilt. :eek:

    Hopefully they'll fix the clipping issues soon. :)

    Well if we had sailor outfits and pipes, could call them Pop-eyes. Hey by the way, do we have spinach? :):):eek:

    less of a clipping issue and more of a scaling issue.
    Our hands a much Wider now.
    I could tell this from a friend that had the founder gloves on with the shattered moon icon on them.
    The moon wasn't a circle anymore -O- and more of a stretched oval -()-

    They ether have to fix the hands or remake every glove/held item.
    Hold the walking cane and your hand is larger than the handle, or the harp/flute and your hands are hanging off the edge.
    Its not that noticeable with like weapons, but everything else looks quite wonky.

    The back of the neck on the new male avatar is *really* bothering me. It's like his shoulder muscles go into his head and he has no neck. I have blotted out what I think needs to be tweaked in order to give the male avatar a better looking profile. It's no Rembrandt, but I think it gets the point across.

    Well put, Duchess....
    I'm a guy and normally play a male char, who is always a warrior above all - but the musculature (especially the neck) is a bit much even for me.
    I want to be "manly" - but I'm not looking for a weight lifter build.

    I totally agree @Duchess Fionwyn
    , then all he needs is a new face... but also something done with his hunchback...
    He's got spinal issues and no posture no matter before or after fixing his neck.
    But his neck does look really odd, I'm thinking he's part Neanderthal o_O

    There's allot of good things to say about his body, but from the shoulders up, "ain't it" :confused:

    Yeah you hit the nail on the head, ie, *weight lifter build* which is not normal...lol.

    Agreed. If you just want to look at the southerly regions, he's grand. But neck up needs some work...lol.

    :eek:~Vanity Fare? Maybe Freedom of Choice is the Answer~:confused:

    ~Keeping Our Design Investments~:oops:
    Our developers put in allot of hard work on our old style Avatar and that work maybe shouldn't go to waste. Today I passed one of my friends who had the old body style and I was jealous, because he (unlike me) hadn't begun a new character, he had just kept his old one, which by compare looked much different (better to me).
    Until we can see what comes of the new body style (which may be better for whatever reason for our game), or maybe as a forever option, maybe we should have both as a choice within our Avatar creation.
    I do think that it would be a shame to let all that old great work just fall useless by the way side o_O
