How popular would the Nightborne race be if they actually had good customization? What if they had their own animations?
I know I would have quite a few. If Lor’themar and Thalyssra keep it up we may even get to see what a hybrid would look like. Can’t wait.
Extremely popular. They where a highly requested race in legion.
Yeah the nightborne numbers are a bit thin.
Yeah, blizz had done poorly with the model. They should have altered the npc model to be the playable versions.
they could be draenei levels of popular but i think their racial traits being bad contributes to their state
blood elves with old arcane torrent?
night elves now? there is definitely a gameplay and a design popularity here
Have to agree. Particularly the males faces.
Who do you think was a bigger disappointment?
The poor/lacking customization for the Nightborne?
Or the unrequested Void Elves?
They just look like the ugliest types of elves because they gave them a garbage model and facial features (male nightborne is possibly one of the ugliest races in game). They deserved the NPC models.
That’s a Night Elf heritage as well.
All Night Elf faces but one are terrible, but terrible like done terrible on purpose. They look old, very old, for a race that was supposed be inmortal two weeks ago to have many old faces is strange.
As for Nightborne, I love them. More the female than the male. getting a model revamp is possibly not a good idea considering the ones playing it would be angry, maybe, but adding more options at least would help.
They do need a body revamp, though. I always say it, when Blizz uses Suramar NPCs in the game and not the playable ones is a bad sign that not even they like the old model enough.
I still like the Nightborne a lot.
I would consider transitioning to horde if male NB could look better.
Though i would still like regular nelves more
I’d say nightborne.
There is at least some love for the void concept, and void elves can be played by goth players alliance side.
I would have one or two if they didn’t completely ruin their looks and ignore them ever since implementation.
As it stands they’re terrible.
I would play them more if they added faces that didn’t look like nelf faces! I really hope they add a ton of new customizations for them, you can barely see those arcane tattoos and more hair color options skin colors and hair styles.
I feel bad for horde. Nightborne ended up being such a bait and switch for them.
I must be in the minority in really loving my nightborne. It’s my favorite race in the game. I have a few and will make plenty more I’m sure. It was the main allied race I really wanted to unlock.
I like the look of them quite a bit. I see many complaints about their look and I just don’t feel the same way. The only complaint I have about the nightborne is I wish they didn’t have the night elf dance and had a unique one. Of course more customization options would be nice and hopefully they add more later, but I’m very happy with them as they are.
I love the Nightborne, my horde main is a nightborne DK. Though I do see them as skinny crack addicts & think the player models don’t look as good as the NPC models. I think it was first arcanist thalyssra with her sass that won me over on them.
Why does the PC model look nothing like the ones in Suramar and other places? What was the line of thinking that brought Blizzurd to make such a despicable AR?
I want my nightborne to have the same look as the Suramar npcs. Ten thousand years of magical arrogance distilled into a divine resting betch face.
Void elves were highly requested. People have been wanting High Elves on the Alliance since classic.
Were Void Elves that highly requested? I remember when they were announced the forums were in full blown meltdown about em.
