Alliance is winning in these customizations

Maybe that’s a good thing for faction balance sakes but honestly these customization are looking so good for the alliance side.

Humans are getting varying skin tones, hair options, hair color and a chunk of facial hair options/jewelry and make up.

Dwarves are getting beloved wildhamner dwarf options.

They’re getting Psuedo high elves.
Draenei tail lengths, night elf skin tones. Just a huge list of nice things… the only thing I’m really seeing on the Horde side is just more skin/fur color and tattoos.

Goblins get new ears and noses… no Taunka tauren, Rainbow trolls, different hues of green orcs and undead get to finally be boneless.

Edit: I was pointed out that shadowlands isn’t done so I’m jumping the gun on my statements. I understand that .

So is Horde.

And you left out the fact that trolls are getting various tribal skins added as well.

And are missing the fact that we’ve probably seen less than half of the customizations they have planned. Most of what we have seen is datamined textures and not even officially on the alpha yet.

Skin color swaps on the jungle troll frame…yayyyyyy.

Also Horde has always had high elves so that isn’t really a win.

Seeing that all the character model updates weren’t finished until BFA (they started in WoD) I doubt all of them will be done by shadowlands launch and…Q4 is 4 months away

I feel this is becoming the Horde version of high elves sort of topic. Starting to sound whiny and annoying.

By that logic, Alliance has had high elves since the beginning of BfA.

It’s hard to give anything else to the Horde when they’ve already got all they’ve asked for.
But don’t worry it’s still early, they will manage to give something better to the red side, always have and always will.

They’ve been apart of the Horde and if these customization were before Allied races then tauren would have got Yangoul,Taunka,Highmountain face options… just like how dwarves are getting wild hammer dwarf options and night elves are getting highborne options.

I’d say forsaken with armor that’s not tattered, while some people have taken issue with it, is a big win in my book. Biggest issue I had with playing a forsaken, ripped armor. Meh.

Aren’t og tauren getting war paint? or just new fur colors.

Anyway, considering how bland humans have been (to the point of being a meme) I’d say they were overdue some TLC.

I really wish they would do something about the male faces. I can’t play my gobbo anymore, he looks too much like a disney character.

Blood elves are high elves.

Void elves are a different species on a biological level.

My dear friend Darmonic, that’s because the Horde has always been perfect.

So, skin, hair, and a bit of jewelry…

tattoos…

skin…

TAILS!

…and skin again.

^ You forgot to mention jewelry options for blood elves, which is weird because you mentioned them for alliance.

To summarize your own post (and add in the stuff you missed):
Alliance: skin, hair/fur, tattoos, jewelry, draenei tail length
Horde: skin, hair/fur, tattoos, jewelry

Is this post all about draenei tail length? Is that how we’re “winning”?

Orcs by comparison just get scars and different greens… humans getting like 30+hair options and 30 facial hair.

let’s not forget about the new worgen customizations as well.

I see, either way I’m pretty pumped for my druid. I really liked the option for HMT but I couldn’t handle moose antlers.

The way I see it, Nightborne and redesigned goblins aside, Horde got some really good options with ARs. So getting some nice cosmetic stuff for the OG races in shadowlands is a way to balance the scales (I really don’t want to mention trashcan gnomes but, trashcan gnomes are a thing we got…ugh)

Dwarf fans are losing here.

Wildhammer need to be an AR.

Also I think they’re focusing on the most played races first. Human and belf. Velf got in there cause of the High Elf crowd.

The other races for the most part have gotten about the same work so far.

You’ll get Taunka when we get Vrykul. Or Tuskar lol.

Being a shirtless blood elf is kind of shameful on the Horde especially compared to all the superior physiques we have over here… it is like a skinny malnourished hanging out at a frat pool party.

This orc gets it.
