It’s funny how most of these Night Elf Males customization are never used, because of all faces, only one looks nice. The others look old as F. as if they were never inmortal before. :rofl:

Also, having more customization than other races doesn’t mean it’s not little. It means there are others that also need it.

wanna play a blond elf ? horde is waiting for you , if not too bad

Blizzard decided to give VEs normal High Elf skin tones and eye colors as a compromise on the long asked for playable Silver Covenant High Elves. I’d rather they be two seperate races myself, but this is the way Blizzard decided to go to appease everyone.

Just blonde hair would be enough for me (red could be restricted to BEs to maintain some distinction), VEs already have some non-tentacle hair styles so additional styles wouldn’t be necessary for the HE look.

They never explicitly said this.

It was a compromise yes, HE options they never said it was for the full fantasy people are fixated on, it amounts to RP tools, in the context of Blood Elves, they are High Elves it’s our main theme for our race. In the context of Void Elves it’s a second visual theme for the Wayfarers and this compromise is already skewed in your favor.

That doesn’t entitle you to etching away at the compromise to get the full main theme of Blood Elves, your secondary theme is relegated to what the Void Elves can offer- the Wayfarers at best through RP tools.

I support people getting the customizations they want as a whole, but I just want to stay corrupted and voidy looking. The high elf esthetic does not appeal to me, but I get that many others really want it. Hell, even my blood elf is dark gray/undead looking lol.

This has nothing to do with OP’s point.

That is not a compromise. Or what we have been asking for since forever.

So why don’t you just ask for specific nightborne customization instead of requesting other allied races get less or come last? Or this thread could have been a general argument for every race getting equal attention and customization options. When these threads start off negative they can’t really go anywhere and are pointless. I want to be excited talking about customizations not complaining others got more

i don’t think this graphic is rly honest, by example, if you are making combinations of hunched and normal orc here of course it will look like you have more, like, slots will also make the discrepancy bigger, but this don’t mean they rly have more options or got more options.

overall they didn’t get much new options, at least i remember a few existing on WoD, they just enable now. Like, we didn’t even get the dragonmaw and blackrock skin colors, and those are in the game since Cataclysm.

And nightborne need a completely model overall, not just more options.

I really dislike whoever made this graph. Like others have pointed out, when you think about it its not the entire story.

I’m doing just fine but your link was to another topic entirely. If you read OP’s post you’d realize that.

I’m surprised Lightforged Draenei don’t have tail length options and yet there’s evidence it can and will work, just matter of Blizzard not being lazy about it.

As for everything else, I do hope they add more to each race. I wanna see at least 1,000,000 of combinations for each. Many of which can easily be part of multiple races. Such as Void Elves and Blood Elves. Some cases too for Nightborne and Night Elves too. Kind of wish for more antler options on the HM Taurens too…

There’s so much they can do but don’t seem to bother.

Nightfallen need new models, preferably the NPC ones (it can’t be that hard, can it?)

And Voidelves needed to be their own, unique race. Wasted potential. The more they make them like Bloodelves, the more pointless they become.

I’ll never understand requesting that other races should get LESS rather than just requesting the things you want specifically for your favorite race(s).

In the case of Void Elves it’s not like they got necessarily “new” options. They are “New” to the Void Elf customization but they’re copy pasted assets from Blood Elves. I’m happy with what they got, but the High Elf aesthetic isn’t complete without normal hair colors/tones. There’s nothing wrong with requesting to complete that. Especially since it doesn’t need to be taken from Blood Elves… Void Elves can receive hair colors/styles from Alliance races such as Humans, Night Elves & Kul Tirans.

That’s not to say you can’t be underwhelmed with what other races got. I think there’s definitely a few that feel lackluster. But i’m not going to request that other races get less because of that.
