Thats right, folks. For all the work you put into fine-tuning your characters, CCP hit "randomize all" for the PF figures and just went with the first result they got.

Great. That killed my Sarum boner. The godlike empress of the largest theocratic empire in the galaxy now looks like she's slumming in a red light district.

Oh and Sansha Kuvakei is apparently my twin?

If you look at his hairdo, you can blatantly see that he's not fully sighted. >>

Ow.

Just ... ow.

I hope those were done by a script (and if they were, I should file a bug report on the agents I ran into today that have no faces), 'cause shit damn whomever made Jamyl up with that trowel should get executed Etturer-style.  I'll bring the marshmellows.

Not nearly perfect, but plausible at worst.  CCP could have put in 10 minutes of effort on these.

This is a fantastic opportunity for us to make customised avatars for the major NPC's that players will connect with. We'll leave them blank for now while we take the time for it to roll round onto the schedule.

Damn, some fool didn't add portraits to the non-agent NPCs. Whoever they are.
Random, random, random...
Add patch note.
Great success.

To be honest i apersonally almost never look that closely on the planets and if you had not mentioned it i would have never hae known that they are broken.

Nice seeing the topbrass of New Eden is such examples of good taste and sophistication. No worries though, i am sure CCP will fix this just as fast as they changed npc corps ceo's when there where changes there.....oh wait..... :bash:

Post by: Seriphyn on 29 Jan 2011, 10:04
Well, I suppose you could just try using your imagination that the NPC portraits aren't broken, the same way in regards to the planets eh?

I mean, as you said on another thread...

"Because most of us do not spend that much time staring at planets NPC portraits, nor care much what they look like graphically, or interpret that as PF?"
Title: Re: The Empress is having a bad hair day
Post by: Senn Typhos on 29 Jan 2011, 10:33
Well, the NPC portraits will be a fixture of the game that will affect (partly) our confidence in our respective factions, and add to the immersion we feel simply by claiming fealty with this or that group. It would be difficult to remain proud of your overarching PF figure if he looked like, say, any of those listed herein.

Whereas your thing is only important if I'm staring at the dark side of a planet.

Yup, that's exactly what I do. I ain't opening those pictures again before someone I trust tells me they are fixored, and I will completely and utterly pretend the horrible ones never existed. I CERTAINLY am not going to make PF out of if and claim Jamyl is suddenly butt-ugly and the Sanmatar is The Second Coming Of The King of Rock'n'Roll. I base my understanding on their looks on descriptions in PF, anyway, not on what the pictures (these or previous) look like, so this is not a big deal.

And I wouldn't have noticed them being butt-ugly if the lovely co-players of mine had not subjected me to this horror. Thanks, guys. :P

On the other hand, Turek Mayon (highest level Surveillance agent in Mordu's) got a major upgrade.  Basically went from looking like a freaky raver to a believable uberspai.

There's a website somewhere with side-by-sides of old vs. new that someone linked in-game and I have no hope of remembering.
