šŸ’œ Customisation MEGA THREAD!

Thank you for getting back on topic.

I would finally be able to play a Taurenā€¦ that butt-scratch agitates me so much. LOL

Also, have we mentioned different dances? Still waiting for the infamous dance studio :rofl:

One of the things to keep in mind is the limitations WoW has due to its archaic design. I am not so sure we would see an animation swap without it also involving some sort of facial swap as well. Weird as it sounds

I wonder if updating just player toons with new body-skin-everything would break armor or something.

Iā€™ve got a liiitttle bit of knowledge on 3d works, and it /could/ work as long as all models have the same skeletal count. If that makes sense. like, knee points are same on all models, ect. Then it could only need a little bit of tweaking.

I know that computer program is a lot of work, but they need to find a way of compartmentalizing it so they can fix and update things.

That might be part of the issue. WoW has gotten so large that it may be a massive undertaking to change everything.

How so? The changes weā€™re asking arenā€™t really intensive, are they?

Some of them are, like slim male Draenei (thatā€™s a whole new model tbh), but eye color or tattoes? How would that break armor?

They need to do it as they go. Thatā€™s the other problem. The longer they wait, the bigger the issue will be later.

Iā€™m not sure that this is a response to me.

Um, you said you werenā€™t sure if customization options would break armor, and Iā€™m convinced they wouldnā€™t, so Iā€™m asking you why you think they would :slight_smile:

Swapping skins broke animations in the past. The coding in this game is finicky.

Oh, I had no idea.

Mmm, I still think this wouldnā€™t be a problem. Remember the last banwave against players using Arctium to inject code into WoWā€™s client? Many players used it to modify charactersā€™ skins (like Draenei to Manari or -please donā€™t hate me :)- Void Elves to High Elves) and animations worked just fine.

Programs tends to be an ecology and things not meant to be connected often are. I posed a hypothetical because I didnā€™t know and other people with knowledge answered it. It would make more since to ask them unless you are just genuinely interested in me. :grin:

Broflake technologies, he would know.

Its mostly because of how old the game is, and how it was coded back then. Everyone codes differently even when its in the same language, and since Blizzard swaps teams around its sort of like trying to figure out a new dialect.

I mentioned the aimbot I did previously, and I actually had to get help from a friend. The game used non-euclidean angles which was justā€¦nonsense. So when we made it, it was literally adding something. Finicky things happened too, like, when I did the aimbot, it began to spin in circles. For no reason, AFTER IT WORKED THE FIRST TIME!

Tl;dr: Coding is crazy.

I do think they are doing as hecatone suggested and implementing changes with every hot fix, it is just very slow work.

Hmmm, maybe Nelves should be able to tame specific elementals, the flower and tree types. Cause they, as a race stand so close to nature.

Black hair for night elves.
More hairstyles options.
Skin color options for void elves that arenā€™t blue or purple.
More hair colors and eye colors for void elves.
Maybe share some hairstyles between the races.

Ah yes. I forgot about how the DK Nelves can get black but the living ones canā€™t. Iā€™m sure they didnā€™t decide to go emo and dye their hair black as they turned DKā€¦

Also, I wouldnā€™t consider the skin tone I have on this character blue or purple. Itā€™s more grey?

Female taurens need more face options! They only have 4, and ALL of them have their mouth hanging open with a dopey smile. Please add at least one face option with a closed mouth while idle.

Oh, yes, I was poking at Tauren earlier today.

But the open mouth, thatā€™s a model thing isnā€™t it, not a texture. Model change requests I dont see happening, see Worgen and Gobā€¦ that takes foreverā€¦ :frowning:
