There’s definitely some broccoli ear going on. Hopefully they can fix them. Some better definition of the ear canals could probably help that.

so… your talking about mages. lore-wise, the only highborne left are nelf mages, and nightborne.
I get what you’re saying, but use your imagination. The druid class hall mount, has long floppy brows, some sleeker options would be nice as well. I’m not hating on the forebrows, just those ears. I’m just politely offering my opinions, because we’ve all seen Blizz can do better.

Yeah those ears are definitely a WIP.
So as far as i am concerned.
Ears:
I would like to see the size options more akin to Blood/Void Elves and certainly the shorter version should not look like a blob and be more pointed then it is shown here. The other ones looks somewhat funny/freaky and look more like bat ears that have been trimmed then actual functional ears. Why can’t they have a Vulcan like option?
Eye Brows:
I think most of them look great but the bushy ones are a bit over the top. Not the end of the world but over all i think these are some great changes. Although i would like to see some more “normal” looking lengths too.
Eye Colors:
Not much to say, they all look great.
Vines:
Hard to say without the full context of wearing armor. This seems like mostly a Druid thing but i will play with it when it comes out to see if something works well with armor. We currently don’t have any Leaf Mail Armor in the game (not sure why this hasn’t been a thing) but then again Blizzard hasn’t exactly been good at making mail armor sets…EVER. At least until recently, the Arathi warfront Mail set is pretty good, and the Alleria inspired set from Legion was pretty good as well.
Facial Hair:
They all look interesting but i would like to see some more traditional full beards. For some reason many times when i look at Night Elf beards i think Amish or Wolverine and that is it. Still all of the new options are interesting and i will play around with them. More customization is always a good thing.
Hairstyles:
All of them look great. However the last one which shows the long single braid suffers from the same problem that all of the braids on the male Night Elves suffer from in that it juts out from the head awkwardly instead of sitting down more naturally along the curvature of the body. It works when the braid is tied up high and there is a pony tail, but on the other hairstyles like this long braid it looks very unnatural in how it sits.

They definitely need longer, bushy beard options. Especially to match some of those crazy eyebrows. I feel like the art team hit most of the other Night Elf race fantasies, but this one of the original aspects of the race from WC3 that is still not represented in-game.

I hope they fix the weird chest and bad posture. Super nelf fan but the model is so bad. Hair is great, beards are great, eye color option is welcome, new skin colors are nice, and we still have the tattoo options that need to be added but please fix the model.

The nightelf males got steak for ears.

I’d like to see NE’s, especially the males, in better proportion overall, physically.
Also, maybe some facial options showing a shorter nose or bigger eyes if possible, not sure because Idk the lore well.
The Ztrolls seemed to get the physical proportions but would be nice if NE’s also did.
The ears remind me of Nosferatu, now and in the changes. Would be nice to see those refined, made less grotesquely fleshy with size differences and perhaps directional options as they’ve always been situated on the head in a low, downward direction.

I really like the vines but they did fix the wonky model with the oddly proportioned body?

The New Night Elf Male Options is the Best I have ever seen. I hope we see more of the options for the Night Elves in the Future.
I hope blizzard is reading this… The Male night elves could really use some help.

Id personally love to see some more savage Night Elf options. Something similar to the early concept art that Night Elves had. I know we’re getting the hair leaves, which is great, but i need more! Gimme those hairstyles, ears, and antlers! Those normal eyebrows would also make some good options. Elf brows in this game are over the top lol.
We also need some regal themed options to represent the Highborne side of the Night Elves! Id love to see Queen Azshara’s skin tone as an option, and that jewelry would be nice to have too.

The new updates makes them look like feral hobos not glorious Night Elf savages.

The body proportions are stopping me from playing male night elf.

honestly, they just really need to fix the body proportions. The male night elves look horrible.

Excellent feedback here.
I do unironically love the super bushy and unibrows, though.
These are wild, ferocious feral elves, not your classic high elf, after all.
And people can still use the existing options.
This looks like what I see in early access steam games. Funny people actually want that.
What I’d like more than anything would be changes to the Night elf male model. Night elf women look great, but the men suffered greatly during the WoD update. Their proportions, stance, and playdough faces really hurt them.
