A Black Customer's Message to Blizzard's Customization Creators

I am unfamiliar with these forums as this is my first thread so hello everyone :sunny: :innocent:

I’d like to express my jubilant thanks to the people at Blizzard overseeing customizations for adding black player options. I didn’t often mention it bothering me because I honestly never presumed it would be taken seriously let alone done with such conviction. It meant and still means a lot of joy, sense I had been observing and dealing with a lot of real life and in-game racism, which made your team’s celebration of it’s colorful customers that much more meaningful in creating an ideal safe space for players humanity to be normalized again.

I hope in the nearest future these customizations continue to grow exponentially, and knowing what it means to some I kind of want to leave this special thread open to peoples holiday wish-lists of things they’d like to modernize their characters with.
Here are some of my hopes:

-Thin Kul Tirans with more skin/hair options

-Brown Night elves like the numerous shades of Tree Bark/ Flora found on Azeroth [Eonar inspired]

-More Moonkin glyphs or customizations+ Default Treant Humanoid form glyphs

And more :heart:!
What are some of your cherished wishlisting customization thoughts :)!

I definitely don’t like moonkin and treant form.

Yes it would be cool to have a width and height scaler. Playing a night elf next to a void elf or night Bourne next to a BE.

I think some more moonkin forms would be great. -Stares at the little owl stewards-

Also hoping for some tail options and jewelry for Worgen. It kind of throws me off that the human forms have jewelry and so much customization options but the actual werewolf form is lacking.

Not a customization but I also want playable Sethrak. They’re the race I identify with the most and I really love their design and lore. :snake:

And happy for you OP! -Virtual hug-

I love the positivity in this thread, and your suggestions are great! I enjoyed reading your post :slight_smile:

Hm I think my wishlist would be:

-Scarring and tattoos for blood elves
-More hair styles all around
-Facial piercings & chokers for blood elves (the blood elf in the cinematic has a choker).
-Might as well share jewelry across character races. Like goblins having the golden jewelry blood elves do would make a lot of sense. And I’d love some of the human options on my blood elves.
-Eye color changes for Death Knights–green, red, and the current lichfire. Maybe even sockets, eyeless DK (which I guess could still see? Maybe? Can skeletons see? It seems like they can, magically. Like the liches)
-Vampire customization & lore. I would love a San’layn allied race, however would settle for something like a “Night warrior” questline for lore and some fangs/claws/eye customizations for blood elves (and possibly others, like any elf, troll, or human race. Lots of possibilities.)
-Some hair dye options! Like streaks of color. Pandas have it. Would be fun to expand for pandas and to other races.
-Eyebrow customization for elves. I hate the antenna-brows.
-Being able to transmog the Rhinestone sunglasses
-This one is a longshot, but body-type sliders. I’d love muscular female blood elves, like lithe and defined. It’s a body type I strive to go for soon (at the moment, I’m just skinny though. :confused: )
-Tails for worgen!

That’s all I can think of right now!

I’d love to see some more race/class themed customizations. Stuff like the Dwarves and Orcs being able to get clan tattoos is cool to see.

It’d be awesome to have something like Paladins of any race can have golden glowing eyes.

I’d also like to take this time to show my appreciation that Blizzard has restored balance to my Draenei Shaman by giving me a decent looking ponytail again.

I don’t think I would ever play another class if this were the case.

In regards to the already added customizations for humans, I would love to see some of the face / skin color restrictions removed. For instance, it’s impossible to have almond eyes and a darker skin tone.

I would also like some of the hairstyles to be corrected and expanded on. Some of them are amazing, but the cornrows for both genders aren’t pretty to look at.

I just want more than one body type for each race. And no, I don’t count allied races.

I know night elves got a ton of new options, but I would live to see more tattoo options, and the ability to chose what color they are.

For sure doesn’t matter as long as you get customized in a game people can’t even play. Blizzard I love you now thank you so much.

I would like to be able to dye all of my hair, not just a streak! Hair matching fur makes it hard for pandaren to stand out next to one another.

I would also like faces with different neutral expressions. It’s super off-putting during dramatic/dark/tense cutscenes, and there I am just grinning from ear to ear.

Also, some long, down hairstyles. :blush:

There were always black characters in WoW. I have a black female human Paladin and a black male Tauren druid right now in Classic.

Honestly. I would like to be taller in game…not the short person we are.

What’s wrong with Moonkins and Kul’Tirans? Body positivity is important no?

Bodies needs some customisation too pls blizz

I like different bear and cat options, but don’t care for looking like a tree. I think boomkin look goofy, so use the sparkle glyph. If I could look like a bastion owl, I would like that better.

I would mainly like a height slider. I would shrink NE a bit and make human, BE and VE a bit taller in some cases, maybe shorter in other cases. Not really a big deal to me.

I like that kultiran are oversized. I think they would be more popular if there was a slider to make them a bit thinner.
