New SL customization gonna drive home what a rush-job Nightborne were

I have a feel for both sides now, I think ally could use more love (No, not HE) and I feel like the horde want to be less of a plot device too, just like the NE.

But we need to stop looking into each others bowls here first and foremost.

they asked for “more plot development” like horde get and then they got it exactly the way we do and then they cry about it. smh.

Tyrande getting pissed is pretty neat I think, but I guess it goes against all the leaders being stuck as good? Who knows at this point.

Objectively speaking here, but Lightforged aren’t that different.

I think NB & LF got shafted so much. Both races were Heavily in the Legion story, both were cool and players wanted them, but then what we got was crappy.

Male NB have overly short hips and no booty, that make it look like they’ve got a corncob up their bum when they run. They’ve got NO short hair options, and the medium hairs they have, are balding hairs. Not to mention these immortal elves, who we know had children in Suramar, all look old and decrepit in the face. Like we couldn’t have gotten 1 decent youthful/pretty Male face?

They should’ve gotten more skins, like perhaps a deep green purple to go along with their midnight blue skin. Plus, what’s up with the lack of hair color?

LF men, also have NO short hair options, like I want sexy short hairs, like the one on my Void Elf currently, lol. (Side note, Blood Elves need this hair, lol). Not to mention, they got 3 skin tones like NB. But practically NO CLASSES compared to other races.

I could see why they didn’t get Shaman for instance or something like that. But why didn’t they get Monk? Are you telling me Space Cops/Warriors can’t learn martial arts, but Sophisticated Elves who were trapped in a magical bubble for 10k years or something can?! They were both exposed to Azeroth at relatively the same damn time.

Maybe it’s tucked away in some book. I’ve given them some praise for bringing more story into the actual game but they are still leaning on novels.

Oh that will be fun, maybe it’s not all in a book then~

Tyrande is getting a scenario and stuff, apparently so much will go down we’re gonna cry in shadowlands according to the Devs. So I’m excited for that.

But honestly, I’m still pissed Malfurion got Ysera killed.

I’ll beleive it when I see it, my faith in them writing something good for the nightelves has been withered away. I hope its true and that it can restore my faith, but I’m more expecting “Tyrande goes evil and we get to kill her” to be what happens.

Honestly, I wouldn’t be surprised if they turned her into a raid boss we kill, but they better at least give her a good story and not drop their ball. Like she has been through SOOOO much lately, so if she has to be killed by us, she better at least get to perma kill Sylvanas first.

To fix the inequality of Nightborne, it doesn’t mean we need to treat other Allied Races with a lesser standard or with less customization options.

So I’m all for seeing an expanded Nightborne customization.

If Nightborne get a plethora of equal customization options like Night Elves get, then we BETTER SEE this for all other Allied Races equally, with the same standards. Void Elves deserve this too, even though they were better than Nightborne’s rolling out as AR’s, it doesn’t mean we can’t uplift BOTH of them to a much greater plethora of customization options.

There is enough work for all of the Allied Races to be treated equally and have expanded customization options.

Vanilla Tauren females still only have 4 face choices to your 6, males have only 5 faces to your 6.

Highmountain Tauren (HmT) have the least options of any race.

Please stop laying false claim to the dubious honor of being the lowest effort, lowest customization race. Blizzard phoned in Nightborne (NB), but they barely tacked on Highmountain after they gave up on NB.

HmT Customization:
skin 4 ; 4
face 4 ; 5
horn 5 ; 5
hcol 2 ; 2
hair 5 ; 5
tat 10 ; 10
—----------
30 F; 31 M totals

NB Customization:
skin 3 ; 3
face 6 ; 6
hair 6 ; 7
hcol 6 ; 6
erng 6 ; 7
tat 4 ; 4
—---------
31 F; 33 M totals

NB customization is clearly lacking, especially compared to other races, but HmT is even worse. Lf Draenei are pretty poor off, too.

Blizz should make an exception and buff these races with the “core” races, but we know that won’t happen. They’ll pour all their effort into the 2 most popular races (Humans and BElves) then phone in the rest.

Yeah, that felt bad, like J. J. Abrams “OMG, wouldn’t it look rad to blow up Vulcan?”* level writing.

I just think Blizzard wasn’t sure how to approach it. They couldn’t just make them look like Night Elves, but somehow show that they are Night Elves (more or less).
