Lightforged / Draenei customization Feedback Thread. Currently the new options are lacking in fantasy

[Autai-moon-guard (Autai)]

Still hoping to see something more for Draenei/LFD. Think more skintones/eye colors would be simple to expand on.

[Kitanana-sargeras (Kitanana)]

I’m just mad that the black and purple off tint of the herriage armor wasn’t a thing it looked so cool .

You’d think…

All the races should get extra tints but certainly the ones that ALREADY have them.

Onyx skin? Please Microsoft?

@Kissmytotems-proudmoore

eredar on the alli side would fix faction imbalance as well as murloc playable. faction imbalance is easy to fix.

Give regular draenei red skin. Personally, I like the Lightforged and think they turned out great. My biggest complaint is they need more horn options, and these should not be tied to hair styles. Murdock for alliance would be awesome. Give horde water goblins at the same time. Fair and square.

[Lousipher-emerald-dream]

I want my red skin.

@Xorno-illidan

Give horde water goblins

The Kelfin should be a Horde AR (or part of a subrace system) but I’d pair em with Ankoan.

Normal Draenei heritage armor when?

[Fenelon-wyrmrest-accord]

Good question.

Kinda miffed they let the heritage armor go after saying they’d have em out in SLs

[Fenelon-wyrmrest-accord]

Somand did a little rendition of the Onyx skin tone. Also included is a new eye color, tattoo color, tips of hair color and rune color.

The requested theme for the solution
In light of this, it’s quite clear that the main issue to approach when furthering the races customization is to differentiate them even more from Normal Draenei with new features unique to the lightforged as a race.

- Embedded Runes
Bring those back and have them use light effects, be shiny, colorful, whatever. And these can be put on the Lightforged horns.

- Light from cracks in the skin
Lightforged could have shining cracks with light

- Different materials for the horns and hooves
Draenei are all about crystals, and “Forged” gives always the metallic idea. So how cool would it be if the evolved version of Draenei could have their horns and hooves made out of these? Also add to this, pearly/marble textures.

- More of the current lightforged options added
We still have just 4 tattoo designs and 6 Floating Runes, this is pitiful. It’s the MAIN component of being a lightforged and yet it’s hardly worked on.

- Onyx coloured Skin and other dark colours
A dark colour would combine REALLY WELL, with the glowing motiff. Allowing tattoos, plates and runes to be displayed MUCH better and the golden hair and eyes to stand out in a beautiful way. This also applies to other dark skin colours, such as dark purple, dark brown, dark slate gray and midnight blue

First, I think the above are all amazing imaginative ideas.

Second, I think their addition would meet your goals of more thematic customizations and differentiating them more from normal draenei.

Third, I think the rest of the options are too involved and unnecessary for the goals if the above were gained so I would concentrate on lobbying for these if I were you.

@Averyx-quelthalas

Normal Draenei

While the focus ATM is on lightforged, Normal Draenei should also get more stuff to make them more distinctive, and no just a directly lesser version of Lightforged. For this, Lean in to the non-light parts of draenei culture. Love for nature, artificer tech and particularly arcane mastery.

Personally, I don’t feel draenei need anything to make them distinctive from the lightforged, given they are the base race.

I also don’t need to see another race with face and/or body tattoos/markings. There is enough, any more and it will tip markings into being commonplace instead of a unique and special customization feature of specific races.

@Averyx-quelthalas

Things for Both

I feel too many of these requests amount to ‘make them look more like exotic humans’.

Dear Blizzard:

Still waiting on those Cutie Marks.

Any word?

[anon94774342]

Give me onyx skin on my Draenei please why wasn’t this done when we asked for it was highly popular and they still didn’t do it

[Uglúk-area-52]

Lightforged warlocks please. No sarcasm.

I want to play the rebel lightforged that has been outcasted from society. The Illidan mentality, “I can use this destructive force for good, but I have to accept exile as a result.”

[Breadisfunny-turalyon (Breadisfunny)]

no cutie marks for you.

[Mithrios-runetotem]

I want Velen size beards.

You’re the LAST person i expected to necro a thread. lol.

[Beaupeep-draka (Beaupeep)]

I’ve had it bookmarked for ages, and it’s a good thread full of good information.

[Breadisfunny-turalyon (Breadisfunny)]

its a horrible thread full of stinky smelly spacegoats.

[Dreadmoon-saurfang (Dreadmoon)]

I usually don’t care for thread necroing, but Averyx’s thread is still relevant for those who care about character models.

Says the floozie.
