If there was already a thread on this, I can’t find it. Does anyone know if there is a CVar or add-on I can get that will turn off the new catch light effect in my character’s eyes?
I get that they were trying to make the eyes look more realistic, but most of the time when I look at my characters from the front the light is right in the center of their pupil. And that’s awkward looking, I liked the old look better.
I get what they were going for, but they didn’t quite hit the mark with this. It looks very strange with the light hitting your character’s eyes in different spots. It think it was more “realistic” before with the painted-in highlight, because it was at least consistent.
They also managed to ruin blind eyes and half the racs just look creepy with them. They also ruined Nelf blind eyes entirely.
They shouldn’t have messed with any of this stuff.
My main’s eyes look so weird at char select now, I hate it.
Blizz, please let us turn off the new eye light reflections. They are distracting and weird. Old eye texture was better.
Old thread, but oh man. It looks so bad. I don’t want just an option to turn it off. I want them to just remove it. It is stupid and makes no sense. What is that light? Where is it coming from?
Blind eyes for Draenei and most elves look atrocious now, and I will never forgive the travesty they made out of the night warrior eyes.
Used to be a lovely dark sky-type lighting, with what almost looked like tiny stars. They were gorgeous eyes. Now they’re just blank, lifeless, and awful.
I once again am begging Blizz to stop forcing changes on people - the eye stuff like this, the UI changes, etc. There is no one who would be harmed from players having options for these things, toggleable from the settings or wherever.
I had these fantastic orange orbs for blind eyes on my Nelf… they destroyed blind eyes. And yes, the Night Warrior ones, too.
