Imagine being on the art team, trying to capture the style and flavor of each race and suddenly you look at GD and you get this dude barfing up a world salad about how its STILL NOT GOOD ENOUGH, and it never will be.
Maybe you should have become a doctor like your dad said you think to yourself as the whisky takes you into slumber.
I agree. Customization options should be as fairly distributed among the races as possible. I always rally for trolls because theyâre my favorite race to play, but we should all be given as much variety as possible.
I get the feeling a bunch of you missed the memo on the art team specifically saying in interviews they were looking for player suggestions and requests as to new things people would like to see added.
I donât post on the forums out of some weird spite; I post because I care and appreciate the work, and to point out the things I and some others would still like to see. A lot of whatâs in the post has been gathered from many other threads and people over time.
Haha, I could see that.
But yeah, body types would really take things another step very far. Maybe in the far-flung future, though.
I love my humans as they are, but I could definitely see wanting to make, like, an old wizard (with an actual wizard beard! Humans donât really get thoseâŠ) who looks⊠well, like an old wizard.
Iâm very glad we got kulâtirans, even if they are still massively muscular. Gosh, I love my male kulâtiran.
I canât believe how little pandaren have right now. Just give us all the bear colors please (solid black, brown, light brown, solid white) new jewelry, some more hairstyles (not too impressed with the 3 new ones we got) and i know this is a long shot, but a thinner body option
Alternatively, if the âthinhumanâ ever gets implemented as a body type, even if itâs just for KTâs, there you can have the Gandalf-esque mage! Iâd really love that.
Highmountain Tauren have fewer customization options than even the super shafted NB.
Vanilla Tauren still only have 4 face choices for females, 5 for males. Hopefully you donât have to wait years for the NB equivalent of moar horn options, and then even more years later, finally some decent customization additions like actual hairstyles and tattoos
Oh and still not receive any new face choices after 16 years
Yeah, OG female tauren had among the least customization options when I did counts a long time ago, alongside male worgen.
All the allied races in general have extremely few, barring a handful⊠Iâd like to think theyâd add more to all the races, core and allied, but weâll see, I guess.
Yup, male Trolls, Worgen, and Goblins (the Cata Shaftâą) also only have 5 face choices whereas the females have more choices.
They need to bring all the phoned-in races up to par with the well-done races. Itâs not like the popular races are going to get more or less popularâthat market is already saturated. However the other races have tons of room for growth if they actually get some options that make them look cool.
Adding a few more fur colors for worgen was nice - and they all look fantastic (though I donât know why the male worgen maned wolf colors donât have black hands, too). Females have always had more in that department, too, though. They already have a black, hah. Always have. Unlike males, who still lack one.
They have, of course, done a little to bring them up to speed - but only in terms of the eye choices. Thatâs it, really.
As a long-time - VERY long time - tauren main, Iâm very happy to see tauren getting lots of love, but I still want to see it spread around some more. Definitely going to have fun making my tauren look seriously awesome, though. Just wish I could say the same for my other characters, like the worgen and kulâtirans.
Night Elves, Humanâs, and Trolls have received the most complicated options so far. I donât even want to begin discussing how disappointed I am with Belf options.
I was bloody disappointed when I heard that the cool Blood Elf body jewelry option with the gold chains hanging around the neck and waist, which we saw in early screenshots, was apparently not going be available for players. As usual, I guess. Anything awesome gets reserved for NPCâs, like that Night Elf archer armor from the original trailer, for example.
Hey, you know how some of the High Elves (Alleria, in particular) have this blue warpaint looking stuff? How about some of that for Blood Elves and even Void Elves (since the latter are clearly as close as weâll ever get to High Elves)?
Really, every single race should get tattoo and/or warpaint options. There are examples of tattooed NPCâs of almost every race, among pirates, bandits, cultists, etc. I saw a bunch of tattooed Humans at the entrance to Deadmines the other day, and there are tattooed Worgen at the battle for Darkshore. Thereâs no excuse not to give player tatâs.
Really hope we hear more about the customizations again soon. Iâm getting a sinking feeling they might pretty much be done at this point. Really hope Iâm wrong.
