Here are more images of some of the new character customizations taken from the new article, 9.1.5 Content Update Preview. Be sure to take a look at what else is to come in 9.1.5.
Additionally, we saw your requests for having the Void Elf tentacle hairstyles to have a tentacle-free option. The team is looking into adding this customization option in 9.1.5 as well. Thanks again for all of your suggestions!
Any chance we can get the pure black hair some void elf npcs are already using? https://i.redd.it/k9gpauysyfz61.png
Edit: Male NPC is Duskrunner Lorinas, not sure about the other.
While an additional decent void elf black / white would be nice, really appreciate this. It’ll be awesome to be able to make a character similar to Alleria and like the rangers of the old Alliance. As a fan since Warcraft II, thank you!
Re-subbed to show support. I also can’t wait to play my LFD more and re-customize my Nightborne.
Yeah, this should be a pretty easy hot-fix in just to really fix things for the race temporarily until we get an actual pass. Files are literally already there.
I just want my nightmare ranger to look as close as he can until the actual real pass. ; - ;
This!
Trickling in and just showing us bits and bobs, not even everything just a bit (some surpises for the PTR are nice!), builds hype and shows us that our requests are being listened to.
Also, can’t wait to finally play my Nightborne alts. That’s a huge upgrade. Holy crap.
You are the greatest GM I’ve seen for a decade. Thank you for responding back to the community. I hope you’ll also take a look at the “reconstruction Azeroth” thread I had and forward it to the devs to see if they are interested.
I would also love to see Void Elves getting Brown/Black/White/Maroon hair with new hairstyles in the future that’s not tentacles as well!
I don’t think anyone’s gonna deny that. Maybe TRP3 is the only thing that’s going to label someone as high elf.
But isn’t this a good chance for other race folks to ask for their customization anyways considering the GMs love to hear more accessibility than limitations? I think it’s a great chance.
It’s even funnier when they spent weeks / months / years trying to deny us customization for one of our own races, and then when we get it, turn around and go “It’s still not x, y, z anyway!”
Like, okay? So you admit you’re a troll and wasted all that energy on something that doesn’t concern you?
Also, you’d think they’d be happy with the Nightborne customizations. After all, they kept derailing high elf customization threads with requests for Nightborne. Just like the blue eyes for blood elves, it seems to have no impact. They’re once again more sad that we got something.
Listen. I am all for you guys to get that. I think it’d give more accessibility for people to RP as that and make your own enjoyment of this game.
At this point, I don’t want anyone to keep gating others from getting what they want. I think the best option to move forward to make this game healthier is more “what can we do to allow more players to enjoy their customization”
Since this thread is back on top may I remind y’all trolls still have no beards or true green colors? Mabye some Amani and dramatic thick boi body types? How about you add the customization and stop holding out on us.
If you’re aiming your venom at me, the person I was replying directly to complained that they showed the hair on void elf features. Stop. I won’t entertain you.
This marks a decent start, but I haven’t been blown away by any of the additions they’ve made to the Nightborne. On the positive side, the change to the eye shape does dramatically improve the female Nightborne’s resemblance to the Nightborne we were presented with in Legion, but that’s all I’m positive about with these additions.
I hope the developers realize that the state the Nightborne were released in puts them in a far worse position than other allied race as their issues lies with not being portrayed well visually, not just in having very little customization options.
Male Nightborne
The problem with the male Nightborne player model is that they’ve been given scowling, old, wrinkled, haggard faces as their default and sole form of expression.
Male Nightborne need youthful face options, with varying features such as a slim, straight nose, defined cheekbones, as well as the purple eye shading that the Nightborne NPCs have. No under eye bags, smile lines, forehead wrinkles, or scowling faces
Fuller hairstyles with appropriately youthful hairline that encapsulate the Nightborne’s identity of being regal.
Female Nightborne
As with the male Nightborne, too many of the customization options express an “old” appearance; advanced hairlines, gaunt cheeks, and smile lines.
Female Nightborne need a fully “youthful” face option that is completely without wrinkles, smile lines, or undereye bags.
Female Nightborne need fuller hairstyles with appropriately youthful and full hairline that encapsulate the Nightborne’s identity of being regal.
*Using embellishments (crown/tiara) to cover up an advanced hairline is not appealing.
Both
The quality of existing hairstyles needs to be improved. The current Nightborne hairstyles all look flat, low quality, and without any texture.
Varying hairstyles featuring wavy and braided hair features.
Arcane hair and skin effects featured on the NPCs would be a great addition that would also bolster their appearance.
Beautiful work for Void Elves, we finally get the High Elf and Half Elf fantasy’s on the Alliance. Thank you so much.
One thing though, Void Elves need black hair.
Void Elf NPCs have it but players can’t have an actual black on their Void Elves. And it fits both the Void Elf and High Elf fantasies.
I would also like to suggest that you with the Tentacle Toggle that you have the option to add Tentacles to hairstyles that do not have them. Making it the equivalent to Night Elf vines.
