New Draenei horns: Something's not quite right

So i was playing around with the wowhead modelviewer to look at some of the new customizations and i noticed that a pair of the new female draenei horns looked…off… when compared to their lightforged/yrel counterparts

So clearly, regular draenei horns are higher up and go further back. But why, this should have been a simple copy and paste? Well after pondering that question for a while, i was reminded of this hairstyle.

They warped the horns, to make it fit this hairstyle, so that it wouldn’t clip as badly (though it does still clip badly). The problem is, however, that it changes the silhouette that the horns created, which was what made them desirable in the first place, as you can see.

My request/suggestion is to make both the warped and unwarped options available and let people sort out the clipping by themselves.

Looks way different, I didn’t notice this at first. They should have them as separate options

While I agree with your suggestion, perhaps it was to have some semblance of differentiation between the two races?

Other than the tats they’re just copies with different colour tones and undergarments.

I might agree that were the case, if the pigtail hairstyle wouldn’t be totally clipped through by the original horns.

the real question though is…

whats a draenei?

Agreed it definitely isn’t a good look and something I hope they fix before SL goes live. Thank you for bringing awareness to this.

What are you hiding Blizzard? Is it an illusion?

People have been asking for Yrel’s horns for regular draenei since WoD.

Which new horns did you use to compare? There are two similar ones.

The other pair is only visible when selecting the “NPC only options” box.

They could just give Draenei and LFD all the same horn options and call it a day.

Should have just made LF itself a customization option if we’re being honest here~

Kinda weird they made new horns and didn’t just make Yrel’s horns selectable as player choice -cause her horns are already on the draenei model since WoD-

H-O-T alien women… and they need probe test subjects to study the natural Azerothian faunas’ physiology and anatomy…

You’re not wrong, but this is what we’ve got to work with.

LF ones are larger, and spiky. Normal ones, are smol and spineless

i can say the same of HightMountain Tauren, Ma’ghar orcs, and mechagnomes
