[Spoilers] Shadowlands Alpha Thread

I do quite like hairstyles 18 and 20, got that big crest I need.

Incredible respect to the female draenei out there who are bad enough dudes to rock the bald head

hhhooohhhmygoodness guys.

Worgen customization is looking better every time I hear about it. The absolute best thing they could have done was separate form customization and the madlads did it. I couldn’t be happier.

I’m so so so in love with the Night Elf customization options. Made my girl with some of the new options and I just can’t wait to get her to look like that. Still deciding on if I want to change her eye color from the normal one.

Now to see how my Draenei will look, come Shadowlands…

Wow, just donged on me that we didn’t get any scars.

I’ve seen some pics of a “new” Worgen ear for players. It is one where they both are really long, and previously those were only on the Bloodfang Worgen that attacked Gilneas in the starting zone, which were all Kaldorei Worgen…

This really makes me wonder if they might add Night Elf options to Worgen for the “human” form since they are now separate.

If I could get a concrete idea for one, I might call this skintone good enough for playing a man’ari.

There’s that one Man’ari hanging out in the Dalaran Sewers. Dudes just chillin’ throughout Legion minding his own business. Could always say that you were waiting for an opportune moment to leave? Maybe tortured prisoner type?

This was my first thought as well. It’s pretty damn close.

I don’t know what I expected, or what I even want from draenei options, but these feel strangely lacking somehow. Maybe I was just hoping for more.

In the beta dressing room if you check the “use NPC options” box you can select eye color separately from skin (the only options being eredar green or draenei blue).

Probably doesn’t mean that we will get eredar skins, or even that we’ll get green eyes, just, y’know… they’ve apparently decoupled eye color from skin for draenei and that’s vaguely interesting, and you can see what you’d look like with green eyes.

Exciting stuff :smiley:

I have a feeling Draenei are going to get more options. Their customization does feel somewhat lackluster compared to other races, I mean at least let 'em pick scars and runes.

Worgen, too. Sure they got some new fur colors and eye colors but no scar options or, heaven forbid, tail options?

NO tails for Worgen. They have never had tails, and Blizzard has gone out of their way to not give them tails. We don’t need to throw out lore and ruin by giving them tails out of nowhere.

What is ruined by them having tails? If you don’t want to have a tail, simply don’t choose to have one if they become an option. Simple. Concept art showed that Worgen tails were on the table at some point.

Regardless, I don’t care if they get tails or not. It’s just a cool option Blizzard could give players.

To this day I still weep that the Worgen women don’t look as badass as their concept art. (Shameless Draenei plug for not looking like their concept art)

I feel this on a spiritual level… I like how they look now, much more than they did, but man they just had to put a quiver on her back too.

And now I am a sad hunter.

But it ruins the lore of Worgen. They have never had tails and for them to suddenly sprout tails overnight is weird and breaks immersion, even if I don’t use it. It’s not like Orcs getting straightbacks because we saw examples of them, there are NO worgen anywhere with a tail.

And the early concept art doesn’t count because Blizzard scratched that idea. So at this point adding tails is just spitting in the face of Worgen and their lore, and we don’t need Blizzard breaking lore anymore than they do already.

I mean…y’all literally lose a finger when you shapeshift.

And it’s hilarious.

It’s almost as if they can have a scenario take place to explain this new customization option, similar to the Night Warrior one so that Worgen become closer to Goldrinn or whatever.

Its Blizzard’s lore. They can change it as they please. They’ve done so in the past, they can do it again.

LOL fair. But that can be explained away as two merge during the transformation, growing a whole other appendage is weird when we never had it before.
