It really is funny how LF Draenei became inferior once OG Draenei got additional customizations.
At this point I think they need to just mix the reskinned ally races customizations with their parent race because some of them now are so underwhelming when you compare them. Which just reminds me how we should have gotten Broken instead and LF customizations just features provided to OG Draenei.
I am leveling one on and off for that heritage set, I like it on cloth classes because you can look like a plate wearing holy space paladin
Oh no, you misunderstand, the important thing is that they called them loincloths, and don’t call them plate armor, except for the Doomplate that actually was full coverage plate armor, also why does it look like you tripped and fell through vanilla badlands?
Orc males account for 70% of unique customization combination options, female nelves have 19% and every other race and gender put together has 11% so come again?
The top races with the most customization combinations in the pre-patch:
Orc Male - 9,607,511,015,424
Night Elf Female - 2,664,990,720,000
Human Female - 606,285,388,800
Tauren Male - 194,075,481,600
Dwarf Male - 169,500,672,000
The races with the least customization combinations in the pre-patch:
Nightborne Male - 21,168
Nightborne Female - 24,192
Highmountain Male - 84,000
Dark Iron Female - 110,880
Highmountain Female - 134,400
The Arcan’dor is growing fruit that cures the Shal’dorei of their magic addiction. This is true. However it is a single tree, and not a large one at that. We know that the Nightwell is being allowed to fade, to die. This leaves questions:
How many nightborne are there in Suramar?
How many fruit does the Arcan’dor produce, and how quickly does it regrow?
How quickly is the fruit, which surely has SOME degree of limitation, being distributed throughout the populace? Who is being prioritised? In the storyline it was the Dusk Lily members of course, but now that normal society has been re-established… who gets priority? The nobles? The regular people of the Waning Crescent and other lower-class districts? Furthermore with the nightwell dying… is arcwine still being produced? Are there shortages? Are there still arcane famines big enough to cause a few impoverished withered here and there?
I don’t know. Until blizzard tells us I think there’s ways you could justify playing a withered and/or near withered Nightborne. To be honest with you, male Nightborne already look pretty withered LOL.
The only thing you’ve really pointed out is how lacking all the other races are compared to some other ones not just orcs. Orcs just have way more combinations because they have more categories. The author also mentions he counts hunched vs unhunched which doubles what orcs have which is why they have such a staggering amount. Orc males really should only have half that amount because nobody really plays hunched orcs anymore.
The next patch they really need to focus on adding customization options for allied races. Which means adding every option a main race has to an allied race.
My complaint is more that I immediately disliked the decision to completely change their aesthetic as part of the Suramar arc. Once it happened? Yeah, adding withered looks for them as an option would make no sense and the ship sailed.
But in hindsight, Thalyssra’s original appearance was so much more interesting than what she looks like now and I’d have loved to make a character like that.
