Are the requests for night elves even listend to? We are in dire need of proper Highborne options aka more royal jewelry (golden jewelry, headcrowns, etc.), royal hairstyles similar to Azshara’s and also her skin color.
But isn’t this the ankle people are using to justify what is or isn’t? The Void Elves are a rather bad example hindered by the transformation effect which people despise. Bronzebeard/Wildhammer dwarves don’t have this problem. Orgrimmar/Mag’har Orcs are just aesthetics I think.
I was being sarcastic xD (I even liked your comment, if you hadn’t noticed)
I would love more Highborne customizations for Night Elves. The Shen’dralar joined them several years ago, it’s logical to be able to reflect that in game through customizations.
While I agree that those sort of options should be made available, I can understand why the Night Elves don’t have those options. Customization options in large part are meant to encapsulate a race and inform their identity; the Highborne are a minority in Kaldorei society, and in-game, don’t really have an aesthetic that can really be attributed to them.
Azshara is shown to wear a tiara, does that necessarily make it a Highborne style, or is it because she was the Queen? It sounds like what you want are hairstyles with a less unkempt appearance and more jewelry options.
What I want are more regal options. Similar to Azshara’s in her land form. More styled and regal hairstyles and not shaggy, more royal/fancier jewelry and not vines and leaves and also golden jewelry options.
Edit: something similar to Azshara’s land form in terms of hairstyles and jewelry. And her skin color of course.
I would not mind if they pruned racials down to just simple things and some that add flavor.
Heck, even the 1% stat racials don’t make much sense at this point because they change classes around so much each Xpac. 1% of something might not even be good and you feel pressured to race change again.
I’m siding with Fen (and the rest of the Wildhammer fans) here.
It was terribly unfair for Wildhammer fans to see their favorite race be relegated to a few tattoo options for Bronzebeard Dwarves.
They might be biologically the same, but they’re definitely not the same group and the same people. They either deserve their own allied race OR more racial customization, such as being able to toggle your race tag from “Dwarf” to “Wildhammer Dwarf” and customize your Bronzebeard racials to something else.
Ideally they should also receive their own heritage armor
