Morning all.
Another nice summary of Pandaren concerns/requests courtesy of Ish (taken from the Nightborne thread):
I love this, but I have to ask if you could do something for Pandaren?
We have this pretty unsightly neckline where the texture stretches and switches resolution. It looks absolutely horrible. Here’s a picture where I’ve taken the chestpiece off to show that it isn’t just old armour pieces that do this:

Although it is reasonable to say that we started out with the new rigging and therefore weren’t in the state that the other races were in when they were upgraded, we were still the first.
As a result Pandaren have a few glitches and other oddities that witness of a team stretched to its limits trying to get this new rigging to work.
The bodies are not too egregious. They could use a little smoothing around the edges by simply getting some more polygons, and some more loose fur here and there would probably also look great.
No - the issues are the faces. Or rather, the face - and the transition from that face to the body.
Pandaren only have a single facial geometry per gender, and that should be fixed. Broader snouts, flatter brows, a more gaunt face perhaps - whatever you can think of. Some facial options would be nice.
Pandaren males have facial hair, which give a little bit of variety, but the females do not obviously. Outside of facial hair, the different faces are different fur patterns.
(Yes, that’s my hilariously cluttered inventory from BfA. Sue me. Just look at the neckline please. xD)
So - can Pandaren please have:
Variety in facial geometry
An uprezzing of their body geometry and, in particular, texture
A fixed neckline
A couple more customisation options, especially in the hair department
We have the oldest model in the game and it really shows.
A good pickup here on an issue I missed which is lack of variation in facial geometry which is a big culprit in the female Pandaren “same face syndrome”.
