  • black hole bellybuttons
  • void tipped finger tips and feet
  • pitch black eyes, no socket eyes

With many customizations they would merge some races and add identity tags so you can unlock customization on the toons you already play. And change how you identify. For example my troll would get all the darkspear troll stuff and have more identity tags like changing my customization to look like a dark troll one day and pick the name I mouseover as “dark troll shaman”.

Or I play my dwarf shaman, and some days I choose to be wildhammer, other days I choose to be dark iron, then one day blizz unlocks the ability to earn frost dwarf customization and I get it and then in the barbershop I can change my current dwarf to go frost dwarf! This would make it more appealing to stay as certain races and even still allow you to race change into other groups. And it would make older races more appealing.

I forget where, but I actually made a comment asking if Vulpera would get more eye options such as a red left eye, and a blue right eye. Lo and behold that’s one of the options I’m currently using, nifty.

And for my next trick I shall unlock Vulpera Paladins for everyone.

I mean … gonna have to disagree here on further HE options for VEs RP tools/ secondary minor theme.

It’s an in depth list for sure though.

For your Highborne improvements part on NEs they could stand to benefit from letting both males and females use tattoos and jewelry interchangeably… that goes for BEs as well off the top of my head for the jewelry part anyways. But accessories like that for all races should be accessible to characters.

I just put what I would like to see personally. And the community is asking for high elf paladins so I put it their as a solution. Blood elves would get San’layn which would be a win in my book. And night elves on horde by something like the undead night elves or moonguard night elves that helped the nightborne (who may have chosen to stay with the nightborne whether by convenience or some other drive).

not to be that guy but wouldn’t combing them defeat the need of allied races?

Blood Elves got a raw deal. Especially mle blood elves. There are no scars or warpaint or dark ranger options. It’s sad.

Here’s a list of every Belf customization request no matter how reasonable or absurd.

Not really you would still unlock them. This is more akin to the old idea of subraces. And it would make it easier to justify adding more similar looking “allied races” if you can earn it for your main and use it right there. Much like we get a 400th mount we can only use on one toon. It would be another layer of customization usage. And allow for stuff like Frost dwarves, Ice trolls, Taunka, Yaungol fire mages, maybe ancient elune night elf customization with more primitive elune tattoos, white eyes, glowing moon tatoos etc. Instead of it being on another race you just earn it as if it was transmog for your own toon.

Allowing nuetral options would be counter acted by adding some unique and cool faction specific options.

No plans for tier… no plans for customizations that AR and others need… I’m a bit annoyed here.

so people who got a new race would just be grinding for a skin option?
Not only that but it would be VERY awkward with the old starting area when you have Amani/Zandalar trolls being treated like Darkspears

Hey, I’d be glad if they just allowed us to Transmog Gray items.

Yea but that’s old content. It’s already weird for some heroes like nightborne questing in cataclysm.

I also thought it would be a nice idea for shadowlands to introduce “soulshaping” or “fleshcrafting” allowing you to just change your bodytypes via barber to other races. Imagine by the end of the shadowlands you can soulshape your character into a Kyrian/Venthyr/Maldraxxi/Ardenweald creature. Which would be a cool way to finish the expansion with a permenant bodytype option in the barber.
So you could have started out as say a night elf and then shadowlands technology allows you to now be a Venthyr or Kyrian. It’s something that lore could be explained. And allow for stuff like the Ardenweald soulshapes to be used by druids and shamans for ghostwolf/ druid forms.

For some reason or another, blizz decided to dump the Warrior and ranger culture of the blood elves, and make them the soft bland arcane users.

Blizzard seems to have show horned many races into one “culture” in fact. Forsaken, trolls, orcs and night elves seem to suffer this affect. Like blizz can’t commit to the races original intent.

I’d say the blood elves got shafted hard. They had so many opportunities and routes to go, but they gave body jewelry and some already given changes that could have been base line additions and not features (beards and skin color)

Which is why I’ve now unsubbed.

I will likely keep playing off and on with little 30 day game time purchases but I’m not going to guarantee Blizzard my money at this point.

SLs is not fun for me. I don’t like the several borrowed power systems we have to needlessly grind for. I don’t like the story so far. I don’t like the lack of Alt friendlyness they said they were interested in.

I was really holding out for customizations to keep me interested.

I’m very disappointed.

Of course we do. Haven’t you heard about the Void’s insatiable hunger?

It’s in our genes, pal. :octopus:

why not both ?

I’m so sorry to see you unsub, Fezzy :frowning:

I do feel you, though. No new customization options in 9.1 is a big disappointment.

:persevere:

Was it though? I am not a fan of being contrarian but I don’t think they ever promised you would get new customizations every patch.

I think you’re reading too much into it. A lot of those answers are basically “we can’t talk about this thing because it’s not ready to be talked about.”

It’s not even that it’s not coming in 9.1 is just when blizz says “no plans for the immediate or near future” usually means never.

We are playing the game that the devs want to play, not so much the players want to play. They are so freakin stubborn on systems that they will go down with their ship. So far I haven’t hated SL… but if the story continues to be bad, and horrible armors like what’s show cased for covenants and no heritage armor? I may take a longgg needed break.

I think it would be a mistake to lock features like that behind having played an entire expansion and grinding out the right covenants.
