Yeah this times a thousand. Was tinkering around with the new options (might actually level my poor nightborne that’s been sitting on the character select screen since I unlocked/created her…but that perma scowl is just…is it SO hard to make a few neutral/happy faces? It’s the reason I deleted the Zandalari I made, they look perma ticked off.

I only care about people holding core races in high esteem like it means something. It doesn’t. The allied race category has already been removed from the character creation screen. Allied races deserve the same attention as core races.
It’s not so much about what they do or don’t deserve but more about the fact you have to unlock them and I want new players to have the vast majority of looks available from the beginning and not just after they unlocked a certain race, because at least in my experience, people get somewhat attached to their first character cause it’s their first character.
At least for me that’s the reason why I think core races should be prioritized more overall - which doesn’t mean AR shouldn’t be get anything.

I think they have limited time and resources to spend on stuff which hasn’t much of an impact… but at the same time they have neglected this feature so much that they need more manpower in giving the players everything they want.
I never understood why they just can’t make weekly topics about certain aspects of the game and ask the community what they want to see released. They could this job give a trainee who manages and adds fan requests.

Excuse me, but your stance pretty much validates my point, cause if all races value the same (and indeed, this is correct), then I don´t see the issue in taking time now to fix minor stuff on the Belf race -that basically shares the freaking model, period-.
This is not a core race vs. allied race problem. It´s a “Blizzard took time scheduled to do one thing to fix another” issue -and if the answer for this was indeed that they did so as a consequence of wanting to improve in “efficiency” (same base model after all between these two races), then this pass shouldn´t represent a problem to fix minor stuff on the Belf model (cause again, same model, period).-

Change title to: “Why the abundance of Customization?”
I just want to know why night elf fans complaints about the wod update were completely ignored for almost a decade, but nightborne fans get all they wanted after a few years? Night elves need to be horde to look good? Where’s the narrow eyes they used to have in classic? Where’s the posture fix for both male and female? Where’s the faces from classic? Where’s the highborne options we have been asking since cataclysm? Azshara skin tone? Jewelry? Anything?

You’re mistaken if you think Nightborne players “got all they wanted.” The customization the developers added clearly show that they disregarded any of the feedback that was given over the years.

Your race looks better than the core race, what more do you want?

This isn’t completely true. These new additions can’t be done within a week, they worked on them for much longer. They simply kept it from the player base until now.
Ok, let’s say that they started work on these additions upwards of 5 months ago in response to the backlash they got from the, “No more customization in Shadowlands” debacle. The fact that they reversed course on their stance only to leave the Nightborne in a marginally better position appearance wise is sad. Had the developers aligned themselves a little closer to the feedback, they would have knocked it out of the park in 9.1.5 and they did not do that.
What I want is for the very clear feedback from Nightborne fans and players to be implemented. Nobody was asking for the developers to double down on elderly appearances when Nightborne already cornered the market on that at launch.

LOL! If you actually believe this, I’ll trade you what Nightborne has and is getting for what Night Elves have because really Night Elves are the winner here.

Once again, thank you for adding these extra colors 
There are a few more suggestions I’d like to make regarding the Void aesthetic and tentacle toggles.
I’ll start with the tentacle toggle, and while it looks great on many hairstyles, one issue is that some styles, mainly the ponytail look off without tentacles as there is a bit of a gap at the end. Many players were also hoping to see additional toggles added to some of the hairstyles that didn’t have them. Maybe even tentacles in different areas of the body
A few new hairstyles would also be welcome.
Another suggestion was to alter the appearance of Entropic Embrace, making it lighter and less noticeable or even a toggle to turn it off completely. Conversely, there were also many players hoping to have the Entropic Embrace on all of the time, likely as a skin tone itself and/or a toggle with the option to customize it, with different hair colors, skin variations and even to add stars to it.
Some more unnatural hair colors would be great in the near future.
Many of us also really like the visual colors and effects found on the heritage armor wings, which we lovingly refer to as starcursed, after the racial mount. We would really love the ability to apply starcursed visuals to the end on our hair, similar to Dark Iron Dwarves, eye color and even on our hands and feet, again with different intensities and colors.
I understand as further down my list of things that the stuff I am listing is less likely, and aside from the first paragraph, the rest I listed isn’t likely to happen in this patch as other races require attention too, but this feels like a good time and place to mention these things for the future while we have your ear.
I make this compilation in respect to many of my fellow Void Elf players, both those who value more natural inclined options as well as those who value more Void inclined options.
I am someone who values all of the above for the sake of player agency and would definitely utilize all of these RP tools, on a character by character basis.
We also have a dedicated thread with a lot more suggestions here;
Again, thank you for communicating between us and the devs and I am grateful for all of the work on the patch thus far and look forward to future customizations

Nightborne didn’t even get any new hair color variety really because there’s more whites and blacks as if we didn’t already have enough of those, no different eye colors, pointless jewelry options that most people won’t even use and even more old looking faces, I could go on and on but still I really can’t believe anyone playing a Night Elf would think they are the ones getting screwed over by Blizzard here.
Now, this is legitimately false.
I´m a firm believer ALL the core races still have pending stuff to get done, but let´s not go into surreal territory cause your race at least has the option to make a male that doesn´t look like a constipated grandpa.

Linxy just wanting to bring to your attention that there are some issues with some of the Void elf hairstyles when the tentacles are toggled off, here are pictures of the issues:
- Patch of hair missing on the side

There is no need for big alterations just to add a few hair strands where the tentacles are missing, perhaps creating a toggle to include those hair strands for those who want them, or leave them out for those who are happy with how they are at the moment.
