After the latest patch, it looks like the skin textures for character bodies seem to be reverted back to the TSW body textures.
The textures feel ‘smoother’, plasticy and less realistic than how they looked previously in SWL, and look more similar to the TSW version.
In the picture below, for example, it looks like the textures around the feet and lower legs are the new upgraded SWL version, but those on the upper body are the old TSW version.
I’ve been using the same outfit since before the patch, and it didn’t used to have the skin color difference between the lower legs and the rest of the body.
The same issue also happens with other outfits, such as the one below, and I can also see it happening with other players’ characters.
The skin on the arm and hands looks a lot more life-like in the first image.
Please fix this Funcom !!!
The improvements in the graphics was supposed to be one of the ‘selling points’ of Legends, and this improvement has now been removed from character models.
Oh, I got an example for you! Try the elementalist Gloves, and for males… try to wear the bare-skin. Each having color-scheme alterations to them (one of my characters had darker skin from the neck and up, as an example).
I notice this (after festival was over, and I stopped wearing my festival outfit and started cycling through my other outfits each day) with an outfit I have that uses the Bikini bottoms. If I change to Hot Pants on that outfit, the problem goes away.
