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

I just want to link this twitter thread of all of the stuff this fan does for fun when it comes to customization.

Zero excuses, Blizzard. Freaking shameful.

No I’m disappointed we won’t be getting anything period, like they said “Yes but ARs will be later in SL through the .5 patches” and then yesterday “No sorry we like what we did and feel it’s finished, no more racial customizations.”…

I’m because I was excited to see allied race customization mostly at the very least. At least in BFA we had allied races to look forward to. Now it feels like we will have to wait years for anything with new customization.

Well of course. This is Blizzard we’re talking about.

Long, LONG gone are the days of them working hard to make a good product. Now, it’s all about doing the absolute barest minimum to keep the game afloat while delivering as much return to investors as possible. They only put in work on things they’re certain will get them as much return on time investment as possible with only as many man-hours as are absolutely necessary. Character customization simply didn’t make the cut, and they don’t care what we think about it unless we all start leaving the game in droves.

Period.

Sad but true. WC III Reforged showed how bad it really is.

Going back on customization is a major disappointment.

Why even ask the players for feedback when they don’t have any plans to work on it?

I’ve never been a “Blizzard basher” on the forums, but this just seems so damn out of touch from the community. It also doesn’t deliver on the promises that the company made to their consumers, which feels like a smack in the face.

Bad ethics.

The developers will continue to starve the players asking for customization/model improvements so they can time them for release with the next expansion as “new content” so you continue buying and subscribing.

The developers don’t care that WoW’s character customization has always been an afterthought, while other modern MMORPGs have eclipsed them with customization options.

I will never understand why they took out things that were already finished enough to preview as part of their sales pitch. And no, I don’t believe there was some huge backlash/“no changes” movement from the players.

And Blizz has lost my sub. Had two accounts with em (Lost the first cause of regional issues and couldn’t remember login credentials) Literally restarted from the bottom up for this game, that’s how devoted I’ve been, but the lies man… Blizzard isn’t the same studio it used to be. It can’t all be pinned on one person as it’s the studio as a whole failing us, but really… I’mma pin it on Ion Hazzikostas. Get rid of this jabbering ape that only puts resources to things he wants, and replace him with someone that cares about the game and community as a whole and will lead it to glory.

I tried to find the original. That was one I saved from someone else. I know it came off redit but google apparently forgot about since I last looked. :stuck_out_tongue:

I really hope we will be heard and actions will be taken to deliver more customization options for all races (especially the ones with lesser first), in the future.

We won’t be getting anything for SL. But I believe that with enough persistence we can make them add something after SL or for launch of next expansion. Don’t give up!

Yeah, persistence doesn’t work unless it applies an effect to Blizzard’s wallet. AKA. Unsubbing en masse. That’s what I’m doing for now, if Blizzard doesn’t change and make good on their promises then I don’t see why I should support them.

I might put my money to a game and company that seems to actually care about their community like FF14. Shrugs I love the world of warcraft universe and my characters, but with lackluster ‘content’ being pushed and promises constantly being broken… It just seems like this game is turning into one of those games I’ll remember nostalgically in the future as “What greatness it once was.”

Well I am subbed for only a month for holiday events, then I plan to get into 3D graphics. So I can do content myself if Blizz won’t do.

For FF I just wish they had at least one interesting race to play. None of them are appealing to me tbh.

Even if they did it they would probably lock it behind M15 anyway.

Well it pains me to see that there are literally hundreds of custom models and art assets made for World of Warcraft for private servers and private use. All made by devoted artists and supported by many who would like to see these implemented in game, yet blizzard ignores it.

For FF, I am in agreement, personally I would love it if world of warcraft had the customization features of FF14 like player housing and such, but… well… we got garrisons. It just seems FF14’s company seems to actually listen to their community. Blizz just doesn’t care cause the money keeps flowing from Simps. I would bet that blizz could literally remove character models from the game and have everyone play as an amorphous blob and some of these people would still defend blizz’s choices lol.

take a break and check out ff14 then. see you when patch drops

Yeah I think I’m unsubbing, the biggest selling point of Shadowlands for me was new customization and then Allied Race customiztion coming in a future patch.

I’ll be back when AR’s get new customization :slight_smile:

Also kinda sad how so many artists on Twitter make tons of hairstyles, model swaps, etc. but we can’t get any in game?

Shrugs Maybe, just depends what Blizz does. This could be my final sign-off if things don’t change, but I hold onto a small bit of hope that maybe, just maybe some of the good ol’ Blizz still lingers and will re-surface and make WoW great again.

imagine a posting on a void elf and saying they got nothing
