now that you mention it, what would nb hairstyles look like on velfs and what would velf hairstyles look like on nb? hmm.

7507

Oh, NB’s hairstyles look great on VE’s tbh! I remmeber also swapped the ponytail with bangs on one of my edits

7508

well we are elf fans here, mostly. so even elf scribbles, elf concepts, elf stuff that will not happen, elf stuff that’ll likely not happen, and elf stuff that’ll happen eventually, gets the same enthusiasm. and it doesnt matter what kind of elf. belf, nelf, nb, velf, its all equally met with enthusiasm. you could post a pic of just about anything elf related. lol

I’m a Blood Elf fan first, and a VE fan, and NB fan. I’m still working on trying to like NEs I wish they had Paladins.

I Iike the nightborne. My main Horde character is one. I may post some of her mogs later.

A pity they didn’t get improved, but I’m confident they’ll have their turn to shine.

Nightborne literally got nothing. I would have assumed blizz would add some eye colors but alas they did not.

7517

They got some jewlery at least, right? Allied races will get their turn in due time

7518

Oh yeah forgot about that one.

I’m sure they will. I just figured every race would get some eye tints.

Draenei not getting at least Velens purple is so odd to me.

7519

Definitely strange. Folks should be able to look like their racial leader imo

Well I’m a little doubtful as you also feel Blood Elf options of customizations were decent.

Just like lightforged draenei, dark iron dwarves


It’s obvious that allied races weren’t in the plans. The ones that did improve got mainly eye colors. Void elves only got skins because they are the same ones as blood elves’.

Even among main races, some got far less than others. Humans, orcs, tauren and night elves were the ones that got the most.

But let’s be patient, there will be more to come, and allied races will get their turn.

This is what I mean though.

I expected with the separation of eye and face they’d add a few at least to ALL races.

At least a core race like Draenei.

And don’t get me started on LFD not getting tail length.

Oh don’t get me wrong I don’t expect it now.

I’m just surprised what was seemingly left out.

I can’t say about eye colors (I also expected every race to get it).
On LFD tail length, it’s strange that females didn’t get the long tail option, since the model already has it.

BUT, as someone who works on development, I know even “easy” and “small” adjustments cost resources, and sometimes the pressure forces us to push seemly little details further so resources are allocated on more urgent matters.

Also, decisions are often taken months in advance to implementation. So, I think most of the customizations we got were planned six to 12 months ago, and many ideas came after and are waiting their turn on the production line.

Just like allied races didn’t end with BfA launch, I’m sure customization will keep coming over the course of SL, and probably still come, albeit not with the same focus, once 10.0 undergoes production.

Oh definitely. I’m sure we’ll see it down the line and it was likely a casualty of time and resources. If not just an oversight with AR’s being meant to be worked on at a later time.

I do hope so. I’m concerned that it appears they’re done with AR’s for now and trying to roll races into core race customization instead. I think this is a major mistake.

Well now I have an alternative to the explorer’s pants for plate! Sprite Darter Trousers!

Death Knight Swashbuckler is a go!
