[BUG] Sylvari eye color bug is still here
Infact the different eye color appears when the night starts, or in dungeon : I can see red eyes right now, I’m actually in the Lornar Pass, waiting for a Scarlet living world event.
…and they’re red…
It seems that Anet created another glow system for Sylvari, for eyes, and it trigger at the start of the night, just like the skin glow.
But I didn’t choose that color ! I choose amber only, at the character creation ! I have nothing against another glow system, but not without having the right to adjust it, if necessary !

I believe it has to do with the glow intensity. How red are they? Can I see a before and after pic if possible?
I made some screenshots.
The first is in the Citadel of Flame, strangely, the color was good.
The second is in Sorrow’s Embrace, and here too, the color was good ! EXCEPT at one specific moment, I switched to another helmet, or maybe I just wanted to hide it. After that the color became red, and never returned to normal, whatever the place I was.
Before the update which changed the armor glow, that sort of thing never happened. It’s very annoying for people like me who spent a lot of time to create their character…

Here is another screenshot, the red color appears more clearly.
PS : Can someone move my topic to the “bugs” category ? I wrote on the wrong one. Thanks in advance.

I suppose this would be the place to drop a screenshot I took of my Necromancer a couple of days ago. The shame happens to my Guardian; they both have blue eyes, not exactly the same shade though.
Here’s a pic of my guardian. This one is taken in a different zone, so I assume the won’t be the same. Notice the left eye is again a slightly darker colour, seems to have a red tint to it.
Edit: Yes, I have a favourite face.
I don’t think it’s so much of a bug as it is that Sylvari eyes actually take in environment lighting very easily! You were probably facing lava (there is a lot of lava in CoF) or some object that emits red light in the game to cause your eyes to turn red.
Sylvari eyes do glow with the rest of their body at night and will respond as such, but in the day they tend to mix with environment light very easily. I noticed this at Gauntlet Waypoint in Mt. Maelstrom, where the campfire causes my mesmer’s eyes to go from darkish-blue (they’re lilac at night) to a very clear orange.
I have no clue what’s up with your eyes though, Haggy. Hope you find out soon!

Of course it’s not a bug for you, or for ANET, who made the choice to do that.
It’s a bug for me ! If the color change according the environment, why can’t I manage this new feature at the character creation (or with a complete kit transformation), like the glow color ?!
I don’t like my character anymore now…and I don’t want to play with it anymore too…
It happens to my character as well. Although, I always felt it was a bug with my underwater helmet. I once noticed the bug after equipping an aqua breather. You could be correct about the night time thing. But I’m not sure.

This happens constantly to my male sylvari mesmer when I take any kind of mask off him, including the aquabreather. His eyes are actually stark white and not at all prone to reflecting environmental colors, and I would notice if it was an environmental reflection. It’s startling to go from white eyes to blood red.
It very rarely ever happens on my other three male sylvari. All four use different faces and eye colors. It also never happens to the mesmer when he’s actually wearing the mask.
I noticed on my Asura (I know, Sylvari forum, what are you gonna do?), that when swapping between my town outfit and my regular outfit my eyes also turn red. It’s almost like there are weird placeholder eyes happening. I’m pretty sure this happens every single time I swap for a second before the correct model comes up. I’m not sure it’s the same problem, but it seems to have almost the same effect. If the below image is too painful I can photoshop some leaves onto my head. <3 Cross my fingers this ends up in a bug forum so then I just look like a crazy person.

I’m not sure why, but sometimes your eye color and glow color go to a weird default red eyes, white glow.
I think it’s on the user end, my friend said that my Sylvari eye and glow where normal when I saw white glow red eyes. Maybe fiddling with graphics might help.
It’s a bug none the less
