I feel like they will need a complete overhaul at some point. Anytime I’m standing next to a night elf or blood elf on my nightborne I feel like I’m from a completely different game.

Nightborne were a letdown from the jump. They needed to look more like the npcs and less like a color saturated night elf.

You don’t feel like it’s a different game. It’s fine to not like the look of them but that’s just an exaggerated lie and makes you harder to take seriously.

It’s always annoying going into Court of Stars during TW on mine.
Mainly because it reminds me of how they should’ve looked.

Nb are just as outdated as velves, lfd, kt, etc.
I guess goblins are the oldest at the moment?
I wanted to play one but I already got me a couple night elves. I didn’t need a horde one too.

Understandable. My only Nelf is a DH so I needed a Horde one.

I mean, yeah, they’re ugly, but at least not as ugly as night elves. Women still have that extreme swayback, not a single normal face, and clunky hands and legs. Men… nothing just fits with them, and every face looks like that of an old grumpy man about to do some pretty big business in the toilet.
The male standing stance is atrocious.
But Kul Titans need more love actually. And mechagnomes, and trolls…
The night elf wannabes can wait.
I actually really like the way nightborne look.
I just dont care for them as a people haha
It’s kinda the whole issue with sending them Horde. They lost their identity as a group of Nelves to become yet another layer of Horde Belf.

Sad part is… Nightborne are a worse version of Nelfs. The legs on the males is just gawd awful. Faces, too.

Pandaren are the only race that REALLY feels like they show their age.
Every race from Cata and earlier got an upgrade, and the new races added from BFA+ were of course made in a more recent style. Pandare are in this weird limbo.
They could really use an upgrade/refresh (And actual face variation) but I’m not sure they’ll get one.

I still don’t get why we didn’t get the actual NPC models for them.

Idk, maybe it’s the style but Pandaren always seemed more lively to me.
Sounds like jealousy to me /jk
Pandaren have excellent animations so it’s not super noticeable. They benefited pretty heavily from the updates Blizzard made to those and proper were the precursor to the Warlords of Draenor changes.
It’s their textures that age them.
Female Nightborne are awesome, they’re even better than Nelf.
Male need more faces options and spell animation. Rune tattoos need a glow up too, but that includes females too. Other than that, I don’t see any issues.
But really, there’s plenty of races have issues too. No one’s perfect.
the casting/moving anims are good tho
It helps that many of the updated unique animations that are shared across all races within a class, and are also added to Pandaren. So they retain all their unique animations along-side the updated animations for other weapon skills.
That said yeah, I would love for more variations between Pandaren. Namely body shape and unique facial features.
