No New Customizations is the "Don't you guys have phones" of 2021

Torghast is just WoW gameplay, with more abilities and bigger numbers. What? I can play a paladin with max haste and get that all day.

There are still issues with current ones added in shadowlands like the gnome eyebrows disappearing when using certain helmets mainly cloth I’ve noticed like abjurers cowl etc with a face mask. Not sure about other armor types, then there is the ears clipping or eyebrows.

That’s fair, and I’m sure they’ll add it in the future.

You would think adding eye colors would take almost no work.

Until you realize they have better things to do when working on an MMO, than adding more eye colors.

Like more timegating? Ha.

They don’t have mysterious better things to do. Shadowlands made an incredible amount of money, which means there’s no reason they can’t have a couple extra people dedicated to new customization. Somehow other games manage to have teams work on this.

Textures don’t take a lot of work. I’ve done some for mods for other games in the past. I loved this creative work.

It’s insane to me why they are neglecting customization, even more so after what they’ve said.

It really doesn’t. I can literally fire up photoshop and do it myself in less than a couple minutes. I will shamelessly say that I did it myself way back in the day. If anyone remembers the great snap of moon guard as people call it where a ton of people got suspended for using texture mods. Those suspensions were quickly lifted thought as like 1/10th of the population got snapped lmao.

But yeah, texture changing stuff for wow literally takes no time at all.

I posted in that thread but I just want to reiterate how fantastic their work is. Would kill to see that kind of stuff in the game.

Especially for existing colors. My friend would love a blue/blind eye option on her Pandaren, but can’t because…reasons.

Sure! It is pretty sad though that people think game dev is just, snap of a finger and done. Even assassin’s creed games take years between games, even the ones that are practically copy paste of the previous one with new textures. Now put that on a scale where there are millions of people playing, in probably the biggest mmorpg world ever. The art team has a direct hand in every single thing that goes on in this game, people need to stop acting so dense about it.

Nobody said that, and I’m pretty sure I know more about game development than you do.

It’s really minimal work to change a color template.

I am by no means and expert, but it’s not. I’ve done it throughout the Sims franchise.

They’ve already seperated the color from the model, so there’s really no excuse.

Everyone says “I know more about ____” than you! And if you had any idea about game development, then you’d realize a game of WoW’s scale, and an art team as involved as it has. It isn’t just something they can hop to for the hell of it.

Then maybe you should stop patronizing people who are smarter than you.

Player feedback says “We like the customisation and would like more”. Its like, the one universally liked thing all expansion. Feedback was “We would like more of this” with huge amounts of suggestions and artwork showing what people would want

Struth, in the slides they had a brand new hairstyle when showing off the new Ven’thyr custom armor showing that there has been work done on this because that hairstyle? You can’t get that ingame. Its not there

People want more customisation options. We were told there was no new race or class this expansion to allow older races to have customisation options. When asked about certain races (like say, BElf male) lacking in options, we were told options would be added throughout the expansion.

And now that big selling point, the equivilent to a new race or class per Blizzard’s own words, has been said to not happen. So, yeah, folks are rightfully annoyed.

Frankly last straw for myself because, evident Blizzard aren’t paying attention to what we want, so why should I, someone who’s played since Vanilla, bother slogging through this dull quagmire the game is at present?

I’ve modded Warcraft 3 for 10+ years. WoW is based on its engine.

Yes, it is something they can hop to for the hell of it. Heck, give me access to Warcraft’s database files and I could do it right now, lickity split. Its not hard.

Ignore him. He is trolling, or doesn’t know what he’s talking about. It’s not worth it.

He doesn’t even believe basic things.

I don’t think you see the irony in you responding to my post with that. You don’t know anything about game dev, and you’re not getting what you want. Sad.
