“New customizations”

No. It’s just hair colors. Give us RBG sliders if you want us to have new hair colors.

There are a multitude of threads with very good ideas for character customization that could be easily added, but Blizzard decides that Orcs getting a new shade of green is worthy of advertisement.

Lazy.

It’s Blizzard, what did you expect lol.

That’s like expecting a PvE game mode for Overwatch, completely unrealistic!

Reminder that the ‘new race’ in TWW is really just a reskin, lol.

You think you know what you want, but this is not it. Trust me. This would crash WoW so hard.

There would be neon pink haired Orcs out there. Who cares?

Most people want regular cool looking characters.

A matter of opinion.

Have we seen the customizations? I haven’t kept up with the news during the past few weeks. Too busy with the holidays.

I don’t know where you’ve been but 10 of the last 11 new races added to the game were really just reskins so why would you be shocked/mad/sad that they’re going to keep adding reskins? They just added a new race and class this expansion too. Like brand new, not a reskin.

The notes confirm that Trolls are getting hair colors, Draenei are getting “new unique” customizations. Also new Warlock demon options.

Looks like the new troll hair colors might be doing that “color fade” thing the Dracthyr get (hard to tell though), and Draenei are at least getting the “onyx” eredar skintone.

OTHANKGAWDFINALLY

I seem to recall a dev discussion sometime back where they said the the game didn’t allow for sliders, I guess some technical limitation. You see it a fair bit in Unreal Engine type games but I would have thought if it was easy to do it would have happened by now.

Thank you for clarifying that cool is subjective. What ever would we have done had you not pointed that out?

Honestly. Your contribution to this topic cannot be understated. The wisdom you have imparted is extremely valuable.

I dont mean lorewise. Wows engine can’t handle it. And it would look baaaaad.
Im all for more options, but the slider wouldn’t work.

I look forward to being possibly (depending on if I like it in game) the only Draenei to use the new skin.

:rofl:

Where are all my fellow dark draenei at?!? :stuck_out_tongue:

Oh wait, they’re all red now…

Old. Learn the difference.

The game is built out of layers of new code stacked on old code. They can’t give hair sliders for the same reason they can’t fix the size of the initial backpack, can’t easily fix horde and alliance faction separations, etc… Every now and then they come up with a workaround or a fix, but making integral changes on such a huge and aged game is daunting.

People keep using this word. I do not think it means what they think it means.

But it’s one they already had in an inferior form

If a UE game doesn’t have color sliders, it is 100% a design choice. The engine lets you RGB any material with minimal configuration.

They’re adding the dark purple Man’ari skin they were supposed to add a few months ago but accidentally put one of the very pale death knight skins into normal draenei rotation instead.

I hope that dark skin doesn’t trigger the fel Gift of the Naaru graphic, cause I’d use it on Kai.

Yeah the biggest sign of them being lazy as can be…giving both sides a race of dwarf. It’s not unique or new…it’s literally no different than the dwarves we already got just made of stone. What they’ll probably add yet another race of elf in Midnight we seriously do not need also.
