Night elf has an incredible amount of options and some races have only a few new ones? What gives.
I was checking out the PTR and a race like Blood Elf got what? 3 new faces, 3 facial hair options, 3 hair styles and some skin shades. Meanwhile Night elf has 3 entire categories? Ear shape, brow style etc etc.
I’d have to find the source, but I believe they said they would continue doing things for customization on the .5 patches (e.g. 9.0.5, 9.1.5, etc).
Right now, it’s almost guaranteed they’re not going to add anything more until at least 9.0.5. They have too many other things to worry about (leveling in SL, items, squish bugs, balancing).
Night Elves and Humans definitely won the customization lottery. I have a feeling it is to try and make up for their burnt tree, but then again, the Forsaken lost the Undercity and their options are still kinda lacking.
You’re correct, in that they’re different teams, but highly unlikely they’re going to add more assets that could add more bugs into the system, when they’re already in crunch time.
I imagine they are currently working on new customizations and the like. I just think a realistic expectation for when they’ll get added is after they’ve launched .
There were/are some bugs with how customization was viewed (created some monsters on the PTR and beta clients with melding faces and assets not loading properly. So, even though it’s a different team, I don’t see them adding more risk to the pool right now while it’s do-or-die.
