With drop 2, my male aurin looks different. My face has changed, and frankly, it looks blah.
 
Before:
 
After:
 
The mouth is now open, he has huge upper teeth, eyes look larger, and his chin is stretched out. This seems to now be the case in all male aurin faces.
 
Anyone else seeing this?	
----
			I think they're both ugly, and emo.	
----
			looks a bit weird yes

did they add new customizations for the charakter creation? or is it just some bug with the modell itself i wonder
 
someone also mentioned that the skinny male bodytype has been changed	
----
			
Project Lead: "Hey guys, we have a slight population imbalance...and there's a heck of a lot of Aurin.  How can we help fix this"
 
Dev A: "We could improve some of the Dominion character appearances to make them more desirable."
 
 
Dev B: "Uh... we could beat Aurin with the ugly stick a bit, make them look like mouth-breathers?"
 
Project Lead: "Brilliant!"
 
 
(No, I don't think this is accurate at all, but my brain thought it was funny.)	
----
			There's a definite difference, now. This needs to be fixed. The face of my Aurin character is not the face I designed and played up to this point.	
----
			How does stuff like this even happen...	
----
			Looking through char creator, seems to be females as well.  You can't see it when you select the face, but when you accept and it goes back to the idle pose you can see the mouth open a bit. It makes it look like they're fake-smiling.

Thank you for your contribution to this topic.
----
			
maybe someone thought:
 
"damn i designed those aurin teeth but no ones going to see them, i have to change that "	
----
			Fyi, this patch is called sabotage. Working as intended apparently.	
----
			
Are Granok doing it too?  It doesn't look as odd but I don't remember their mouths being slightly open either.
 
Maybe this was a mostly universal thing that only shows more on certain models.	
----
			Wait. Aurin have males?	
----
			This negates all bad things that may have happened this patch. They legit nerfed Aurin faces, I *cupcake*ing love it.

You can't nerf PB&J time. Fact.

The Tauren dance used to not be random.  It was legit step for step the PBJ time dance.  There was a rash of server crashes because when some servers were down so many people would pick a server, roll level 1 tauren, and synchronized /dance for shits and giggles.  They randomized the dance shortly after that fad started.

First Plainstriding...then /dance... My poor, poor tauren was never the same again.

*facepalm*
 
It was the first thing I noticed on character selection after the patch. My Male Aurin characters now have a constant semi-open mouth everywhere.. and everytime..
 
Not pretty, not funny.
 
Please kindly fix it to the way it was yesterday.	
----
			
It's ok, Wadey...we know that deep down, you really want to roll an Aurin.

They either need to 1- revert these changes, or 2- put in an actual customization option.. and if it is for-pay, give us one for free. This sort of unannounced and uncorrectable change is a legit reason to stop playing.
 
Those of you trolling this issue because you don't have or don't like Aurin.. well.. nothing, I guess, because you can't stop being you, no matter the depth of douche.  Carry on.

Folks, pretty sure this is the way Male Aurin used to look in beta. I believe Carbine changed them and closed their mouths due to player complaints. I read this in a thread about a month ago on this forum. I can't find it now.
 
My guess, this was an unintended change that rolled the appearance back.
 
What makes that worse is with everything else I have been seeing.....
 
Carbine's Configuration Management Process is in need of some serious TLC and I mean right freaking now. 
 
:P

I'm not sure how thinking Aurin are ugly has anything to do with PTSD. I just have standards.

Ok I checked my fem aurin and she is still the way I customized the face.
 
Then I went on an tried to create a male aurin and most of the face options have the mouth a little open revealing the teeth.
 
From my standpoint ( i havent created one yet) its not that bad it does "add" a more animalistic feel. If I would have to guess what they were going for.
 
But i can understand that if you put effort into creating your character to make it yours that it annoys you. I hope that gets adressed for you.
 
 
On a sidenote, just my oppinion....what annoys me is that most male Aurin look like totaly pissed 24/7 in the face options. And the only smile option has closed eyes D-:

My chin is so huge now that when I logged in and looked at it I immediately logged out. I'm not playing a walking talking chin.
----
			I actually don't mind the chin too much (it's manly!) but I'd like my aurin boys to be able to close their mouths.	
----
			
 
 
 
This was just a rerolling attempt for me. Was looking forward to it. Not anymore. Please fix this, Carbine.	
----
			
When did Varian Wrynn get into this game?!
 
Dat chin.
 
I'm glad my stalker wears a helmet, for protection....yea...that's it.

Get back on the clock, cupcake.  If it's good enough for Chris Metzen, it's good enough for you.
----
			I approve of this! Less Aurin more Dominion!	
----
			the aurin face makes for great target practice nothing else.	
----
			After long enough around humans, male aurins have finally perfected the "resting-*cupcake*-face."	
----
			
so....aurin are mouth breathers now...
and chua got fatter 
 
lol...

			Ugh, same thing happened to my little guy when I logged in. Except with the face I chose he doesn't look so much 'grr' as he does 'guys, it's allergy season, I have to breathe this way, does anyone have any decongestant?'

Rather pathetic that the rednames respond to every other major patch issue but this one.  Not even a "hey sorry we know we screwed you all" or anything.
 
I'm usually patient and defend this game, but this is for all intents and purposes my only character, and the change compounded by the lack of response is turning me sour very fast.	
----
			
Can we get a response on this? I want to know if they're going to fix it so that I know whether or not to bother leveling this character. If this is someone's idea of imposing a design change on people without warning or any means to change it, I have to question whether or not buying this game was a good idea. Not a good precedent to set, really.
 
But let me not jump the gun here. I'll wait to see what happens.	
----
			Good to know the female Aurin faces are not effected.	
----
			I really think it fits the Aurins to look more like slack-jawed 12 year old boys.. 	
----
			Well, if we want something manlier we could always roll a female cassian? =P	
----
			
I've been waiting for this to happen since launch.
 
Go make a female Mechari or Granok(possibly others) and choose body type 4 from left to right and watch how that body type wrecks the head morphs.  I sure was hoping THAT was fixed, but it sounds like something else was adjusted?  It's a bummer, 'cause if they fix a char creation issue it's going to basically affect a group of players that didn't know something was "wrong".  You just log in and notice weird things about your face.  Sorry, Aurin dudes. :(

Wow, that is really awful.
 
Carbine should not be drastically changing player faces without players' knowledge, and especially not without a way to re-customize them if they don't like the change
 
I don't like the aurin males, but if they did that to my mordesh I'd be furious >:c

			any word on this?  or at least an option to edit my character	
----
			Yeah, really though, can we get some kind of acknowledgement on this? My character's mouth is always open and scowling; not at all what I created. 	
----
			
You won't get an option to customize your character at "any time in the planned patches" - through Drop 7 at least.
 
A redname responded to one of the other appearance threads (the Chua one) that they are "aware" of the problem and they are "looking into it" which means get an air tank and don't hold your breath.  They simply don't seem to care that they broke the most basic thing that gives people a sense of attachment to their product.. namely, one's avatar into that product..
 
Edit: the CM posted that it's a "very high priority" for them - waiting to see what action those words become.

			I think I'd be better able to shrug off the changes if they came with some benefit, but the clipping problems persist.  My hair still clips through my back (I picked the deep chest, more's the fool me) and the collar of the hunter costume sinks down into my collarbone.

This has to be a mistake.  It looks like the character creation codes were rolled back to the beta codes by the patch.  I just can't believe Carbine would edit the already-created character models on purpose ever.  Or even without a ton of forewarning.
 
Carbine's customer service folks really out to be swarming the forums at this point to handle these threads.  A quick, "This is an error...we're trying to fix it." Would make most people on this thread happy.
