SOGA in Illusion Forms

[SongDi]

I've recently changed to SOGA models, but as an Iksar, my appearance stays the same in true form regardless.  My question is in regards to illusion forms: as a troubadour, I have the ability to change into a High Elf (level 40 fun spell) and a Dark Elf (guise of deceiver) - the only two illusion items I presently own, however based on results, I'm sure the same problem would apply to all races in SOGA.  Now, I'm not sure if this function is "working as intended", although based on "original models", I don't think so, and therefore I wanted to post this for feedback.

 

I don't have a picture, however I am a red iksar (scale colour).  When I apply one of my two illusions, I change race, into an otherwise decent looking SOGA elf, however my red hair is complemented by my equally red skin.  Having "red skin" as an iksar is normal, however as a High Elf or Dark Elf, I look quite sunburnt.  I've checked with other non-human-ish friends in game (a black kerra and a brown kerra) and they both experience the same skin tint problems.  My question/concern is if this is going to change to have a proper race skin colour, or if this is how SOGA is intending to portray illusions (we definitely look like imposters this way, hehe).  Personally, I would like to at least look moderately like the illusion race I am trying to impersonate and would love if this could be fixed.  If it's working as intended however, this is my 2 cents on a request to have it changed.

Thank you,

My Kerran main is sort of reddish-brown, and her High Elf illusion (level 40 fluff) has always been pale skin and black hair.  Even after SOGA, that still holds up. Hmmm.

perhaps you've accidently switched illusions off.I think theres a switch now in your persona window somewhere, or try typing /hide and see if it works then.

It's not a graphical problem on my part (computer) or a hide illusion problem.  I see an elf (high elf and dark elf) and all the colouring of hair and armour is correct.  What I see (and what everyone near me sees) is a red-skinned elf.  Red because my scales as an iksar (aka skin colour) is red.  In old forms, I'm pale as a high elf with red hair, in dark elf illusion I'm purpley-blue with red hair.  In SOGA models (which have no problems seeing any other SOGA character with regular coloured skin), I have red hair (expected) and red skin (not expected).  It's exactly how everyone near me with SOGA turned on sees me as well.  With my kerran friends, they turn whatever their "skin" colour is (hair and skin) in SOGA as well, and that's also how I see them.  It's definitely a SOGA-based-issue - my question was just if this is going to be fixed (hopefully) or is what SOGA was intending for illusion forms (please, I hope not).

I love mine, and I will post some screenies when I get home, but my froglolk is bright blue, with red feet, and when I use my Human Eye, I morph into a 5.5ft tall bald blue man.  I look like one of the blue man group members, or a giant smurf  (because of my white monk gi).  I hope they leave mine. 

However, not all see me as blue.  I do, and so far all but 3 I have talked to about it do, but for whatever reason 3 pals see me as pasty white bald guy.

lolthat's awesome! i dunno why you'd want that changed. I'd give anythin to be a red or green skinned half-elf
