Cranky Quarantine Thread

Roleplayers are the last part of the player base they design the game for. Unless I’m mistaken, the last animated emote we got came out in Cataclysm.

You would be better inventing some MacGuffin to tether your soul elsewhere before the Horde and Alliance magic a bunch of soldiers to the Shadowlands.

I played an AU Draenei priest who I also alt profiled as his MU Krokul self, all the way through WoD and Legion.

Only to find out we canonically have been unable to cross to Draenor since WoD itself, in the Mag’har scenario.

I sprinkled much salt on that day - so many plots invalidated.

Oh hey, I guess making your character bald is a good workaround for there not being any black hairstyles ingame! Thats good thinking, and im glad its working for you!

Not really an option for black women though, unfortunately. I look like a very tan white woman. The hood helps, though!

I would like faces that don’t make my character look 40+ years old. For all races, of course.

Yes i suppose if we are embracing the cartoon villain arc instead of exposing how dumb mak gora and ‘muh honor’ power plays are. You could have anduin hand her an anvil while youre at it.

Blizzard is nerfing my eyes and I am not okay with this

No fun allowed give us money continue to grind for insignificant scraps of the promise of a reward.

That looks like female worgen eyes. Bright, but not actually glowing.

Thanks I hate it

I doubt it’ll last long. This seems just small but significant enough to inspire a backlash that would cause them backpetal; or so I’d hope.

I like the idea of not having eyes with a glow texture 4 inches in front of them

but honestly unless they make a statement about it, it kinda just looks like a glitch

I’m mostly just impressed that they found a way to make Night Elf dudes look even more nightmarish

like, it looks like they realized the ambient glow messed with a lot of helmets, so they’re going to remove it and make the actual eye texture brighter to compensate

but didn’t do step 2

Blood Elf Death Knights straight up become High Elves with this change.

This was their plan all along

Draenei (and NE females I think) already have glowing eyes that work like this–our eyeglow is just a texture, not a floating cloud of light like other races have.

It works for us and I think it will work for most Death Knights but wow it looks bad on NE males, largely because their actual eyes are such a different shape than the eyeglows suggested. They go from large round eyeglows to the very small, squinted eyes they had beneath.

And yeah even for DKs and BEs they still need to brighten the texture more like Lyzettie said.

OH NO! I’m sorry but I got a laugh outta these. The death knight looks so tired without the eye glow. He’s like, y’all I’m so tired and need a nap.

Night Elf bro is angry, so so angry BECAUSE HE ONLY HAS ONE FACE.

Anyway, I don’t know if I can still do it, but back in Legion I discovered that if I’m using zen flight and target an enemy unit. It causes Versca to do the idle combat stance while still using zen flight, resulting in her eyes opening but without the eye glow and it honestly looks wicked cool and I’d be into having that.

Night Elf bros are angry because they can’t have eyebrows without facial hair.

It does look like they’re removing it for undead too. Right now on the PTR Undead males have had it removed.

Undead females and Blood Elf males still have it (as do many DK race combos) so I assume it is just a work in progress.

Reminds me of the first iteration of the new female worgen skins. Where they had painted on yellow glow for their new yellow eyes, but they didnt add the yellow eyes till a second patch on the ptr
