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

I thought the topic title said “No New Customizations and Don’t even ask about em”

thing is blizzard have the budget to hire few teams
one team work on it
one team on other thing

like all this discussing feels like we talk about small upcoming indie game company with 2 people but we talk about blizzard, HUGE company with HUGE budget

the cutting costs in that matter just seems weird

Funny enough a lot of indy games seem nowadays often more impressive than products from big namens.

Take Stardew Valley, made only by one person.

right, i’m not defending it or anything, and again i’m unhappy with the decision but not to the extent of some people in this thread

Manerlords (yes different genere) is (mostly) done by only one person too.

well rightfully so because apperently blizzard did promised some sort of more customization in shadowlands, and as nightborne player that spend time suggesting ideas and giving feedback their answer in Q&A felt like big middle finger to us, i try my best to speak out in that matter in hope that blizzard will change their mind at least
and to see that it isn’t that hard to pull off more customization really makes you question blizzard and their behavior

though i still have mindset of okay they might surprise us and acknowledge problems like nightborne have almost no options at all and work on it

The worst part of all this, is that they said that they were listening to our feedback, and now we discover that they weren’t even thinking about customizations for this expansion. I feel sad for the artists who put effort on their feedback doing videos and edits.

I was in complete disbelief when I heard that response… Like what?? Some races barely even got anything?

“…but it wouldn’t make sense to make it when we don’t have a good plan for it.”

This statement right here tells me that the developers have zero leadership and creative passion for the game anymore.

I am really disappointed. I didn’t expect anything for 9.5 or 9.8 but at least they said they are seeing what we have been talking about for almost 2 years.
Not even a comment like “We are seeing the forums and the many suggestions for customizations that have been brought to us by the players. Many are laborious or do not have the time or resources to do it now, but we have seen what you have suggested to us.
It would not be possible for soon, to attend something about customizations for now.
Keep up the good work. We haven’t forgotten about you!”

… nope.

I still have 15 days of play and I will finish putting my characters at lvl 60 and give me Warcraft vacation.

I heard good things about Final Fantasy, ESO and GW2.
I always wanted to try them but I always had a hard time leaving my worgen, pandaren and vulperas.

???

I think you misunderstood my post.

I thought the developers outright stated that they aren’t capable of what Final Fantasy XIV does in terms of customization, which, yes, that’s very apparent.

We both know that Worgen won’t be picked over humans or purple humans no matter what they do with their appearance.

“we tried to add things for mostly every race.”
“There are a few we didn’t get as many customizations options in for,”

Nightborne got absolutely NOTHING.

“to what can we do for the races we didn’t do as much for, what would be the right choice there?”

Give them something before telling us customizations are being shut down for the rest of the expansion. Jesus christ.

Not entirely surprised. I guess that’s just how it goes.

Nah, hopefully they are actually working on something, it’s just not something that will happen soon :tm:

As long as people keep on talking about this, they may yet adjust their plans. Hopefully.

They did get something.
Bald option.

Definitely a good customization, compared to literally everyone else. /s

Blizzard talking about Shadowlands: “We want to have more focus on character customisation this time!”

Blizzard not even one content patch in to Shadowlands: “Actually, screw it. That would involve like… effort and stuff.”

What a bloody waste of time this Blizzcon turned out to be.

They promised more customization for allied races since they released… Nightborne were supposed to get more customization for a while now. They delayed it until shadowlands and now they announced it won’t be in shadowlands and that means more sub time and expansion price to pay for what was said was going to be done much sooner. It is very infuriating. Actually. And with 9.1 looking like it’s already delayed it means this expansion may last longer then most expansions (probably due to covid but that’s at least understandble). But to go back on your word is a pretty bad.
