Why the lack of Customization?

LFD can’t be Monk :frowning: and we (and HMT/Junkers) don’t have a class to separate us from our base.race :(. I don’t get the point of Allied Races if they aren’t going to at least open up 1 unique class option from their base race.

The Night Elves need the eye fix. It’s what they looked like preWoD. Their current bug eyes are not how they should be.

Hell, even Draenei have bug eyes compared to their OG eye shape.

Is this the point where I go “class skins” and “void elf paladin” and cause 200+ posts of people protesting how that doesn’t make sense, all while the same people think dark ranger paladins somehow do?

I would take the actual Night Elf model with actual Night Elf customizations over the botched one we have currently any day.

Except Void Elves because they are a carbon copy of our number one race, amazing how that works eh? :joy: :joy: :joy:

That’s not an excuse to make them repulsive, it’s also not an excuse for your double standards of that Void Elves lack classes when Nightborne are supposed to be our Night Elves, either see it as the same or don’t bother wasting my time.

Speaking of eyes, fix Forsaken. Why does the socket option have eye lashes D:<

I mean you can, that won’t fix the terrible nelf models. With men who look like synthol guys and females who look like men.

Yes, giving us a good race made them popular, amazing.

Nelves are repulsive, so Nightborne are 100% your nelves. And your nelves have warlocks.

The one using double standards is you.

Somehow among all discussion horde players seem to still be deluded into thinking the nelf model is somehow good and widely liked lol.

No, NB look bad because the race they copy is bad.

Honestly, any race with the big O _ O glowing eyes needs a way to tone them down.
It’s understandable that elves aren’t humans, and would have different anatomy, but the female elves all having these huge eyes, while the males tend to have something a bit more realistic, just feels a bit jarring.

Eye shapes in general for many races open up some new prospects.
The more we can play with the mesh/geometry, the more likely we can have unique options. It’s a bit rough because of how the system works for WoW, but as we can see with Nightborne, it is doable.

Sorry, but that simply cannot happen, and you know why. :stuck_out_tongue:

Speaking of nelves being bad.

This is what they should look like

The only ones that get a pass are Gnomes. Their eyes are perfect outside needing more expressive variety…but that’s a deeper customization issue.

Agreed. Nightborne opened the doors that we thought was only possible for humans.

Massive ponytails need to be more common for all races. :weary: And yes, that looks so good.

I really don’t understand why we went from these regal ancient amazonian elves in WC3 to “cheer leader” bouncy bounce in Vanilla.

…actually, lawsuit.
Nevermind. I understand.

Stuff as simple as idle stances and animations - something all races should have - could fix this though.

Night Elf models aren’t terrible and no matter how much you people keep saying this doesn’t make it fact.

Shame it still doesn’t make people actually want to play Alliance huh? :joy: :joy: :joy:

Night Elves are by far nicer than Nightborne and have by far better customizations, when we actually get to start taking skintones and hair colors from the parent race I might actually agree with you but until then I don’t and I won’t. Period.

I just think its because they were one of worst off races for customizations and they are just trying to fix them so that they actually look like the npc model. I also don’t believe that they are ignoring all the other races because they haven’t said anything. It just takes time. Once the allied races are done with they will go back to the original ones :).

We actually thought it was impossible because of humans. Because somehow they were unable to do that for asian humans back then. DESPITE selling the expac with that promise at Blizzcon.

Honestly that’s just lying advertisement.

“Night elves aren’t terrible, but nightborne who are a copy of them are the worst thing ever”
lol ok.

I mean, not really, I hope more alliance people quit. The more money the wow team loses, the better for me.

So your standard is that they are a different race, but NB should take things from nelves, but velves being a neutral race are okay not having actual classes playable. Ok.

This still doesn’t look Asian to me.

Granted, it was still a massive improvement over the original faces. I at least can look like an attractive middle-aged man with a dad bod, which I honestly think is hilarious. I love my warlock rofl.

Yeah that’s true at least black and “asian” human males can be handsome.

Well there’s your problem, the NB aren’t direct copies, and they may have made stuff worse in changing it.

Honestly, i think customizations won’t save night elves. They should be redone. (nightborne could get a new model too xD)

Is that really a problem though?

On one side, we accept them as different races so different races are uglier than others.

If so, Doesn’t the horde pride themselves in being the faction that likes ugly races?

Definitely. I’ve always said the WoD remake was terrible. They just made the same mistakes but HD. They should’ve remade all vanilla races.

Humans and tauren don’t look that great either.
