Guild Wars 2

Hi!
I have a sylvari mesmer who, when I created him, had lilac eyes. Recently, (I’m not sure when) his eyes are much much darker, almost a navy blue.

Here is the before and after (the first screenshot was shortly after creation, the second was taken today almost two years later)

Does anyone know what’s caused this and if there’s any way to revert the change without using a makeover kit?

Thanks

Red sylvari eyes suck in certain lighting. My red-eyed sylvari has glossy black eyes during the daytime, when the eyes aren’t glowing. The OP seems to have a similar problem. I wish this coloring problem would get cleaned up a bit.

I’ve noticed this on my sylvari, too. It seems to be a Level of Detail issue. If I zoom in close enough, the eyes appear to be the right color. Zooming out makes them seem much darker, if not pitch black.

I recall this being mentioned in the Sylvari forum, back when there were race forums. It was an outright bug in most people’s opinions. Perhaps you should report it in the bug forum, in case they don’t know it’s resurfacing.

Thanks everyone. I went to the Grove (in full daylight) and my Sylvari’s eyes were restored to the correct colour. This does seem to be a ighting issue – I hope the devs catch wind of this!

It might be a Sylvari specific issue, a bug you might say. I believe they call the complexion mordremosia, but more on it will be revealed soon;)
