Bad Lighting on Character Select

✭✭✭✭✭
I understand the golden theme, and I usually enjoy fall trees, but......the character select page is SO GOLDEN that it kinda makes characters with non-warm colour schemes look bad (especially purple in my opinion).
However, the main problem is that the lighting just seems to be coming from an odd angle, casting bad shadows on faces, and generally doesn't look that flattering. There are some characters that look better on it than others, but since the character select page is the only place we really get a good, close, well detailed look at our characters it would be REALLY appreciated if they actually looked good there. It may not matter much to some people, but there are a lot of us out there that are really into fashion and character creation, so I would urge you to do some tweaks on the character select page lighting. A different angle? Less strong face shadows? A little Less yellow?
Pretty Please?
Included pictures of my favourite character. Notice you can hardly tell the color of her eyes in the pts picture.

Panderbander✭✭✭✭✭The shadowing on the cheeks and eyes is pretty strong in the new character select, yeah. Not a big fan but at least it's just the character select and not a total rework of in game lighting, right?Leader of Lycan Syndicate, PC NA's tri-faction werewolf guild.~~~Played since the beta, got the monkey.~~~"The blood of the pack is now yours.

Yes! That's a feature I've wanted for So Long! I appreciate that you can choose the login music now, but what I really want is to be able to choose from all the different backgrounds they've had over the years and set it differently for different characters. It would be nice to have characters in settings that suit their story or style.2 -

Char select is where most people would take official character photos, this horrible lighting spoils that no end. We need selectable background options, as someone else suggested, as we have selectable menu music.0
