Character customizations

This brings money to blizzard, and a new store mount too. :smiley_cat:

Plus Shadowlands was rushed, right now they are running against time to release 9.1 before the expansion dies at all.

But jokes apart I guess that was the Shadowlands rush and internal schedules that made them stop the customizations.

So why are we discussing this instead of keep telling them we still want the customization? They are definitely aware of people’s negative react to their decision and now I’m wondering what are they going to do about that.

There are decisions who need to be taken and if the reason was to finish shadowlands development faster was a good decision.

I really don’t understand what they are doing with customizations option tbh. Haircolors is just moving a cursor on a color wheel. They don’t have to reinvent the wheel everytime but it’s such an easy way to make people like their patches better.

My elf booty should be happy with all the customization we already got, so if there is one problem to be addressed, it is indeed the shal’dorei matter… such a lovely, pretty race, and so lacking… I grew to love them because of Thalyssra, she is a charming leader, and I’m happy she had a bit of role mid-BfA (co-leader of the Nazjatar assault on Horde side, after a single expansion). The nightbornes we have could be polished to look like the NPCs in Suramar.

Well might not be worth to you but to lot of people character customization and stuff like transmogs/mounts are the real endgame.

For me personally I could not give a rats butt about new raids especially now that there is no tier sets to go after if it meant that we would get more character customization.

If you would ask a question about why there is no color palette wheel I bet Ions answer would be some convoluted BS about raid mechanics.

And in the end even person who asked the question would ha e forgotten what he asked after 35 minutes about the meaning of bananas in wow.

I honestly cannot comprehend how hard is it to just create more textures for hairstyles, face shapes and colours? Specially in a game where the graphics are quite cartoonish- If a teenager can create mods for customization on their home pc I’m guessing it shouldn’t be that hard for Blizzard either.

only raquel+blue works on my fem belfs
i am thankful for blue hair and blue eyes but we need more hairstyles

This.

How much does it take to make these pixelated hairstyles, really?
Recently I bought Nioh 2 and hell I knew nothing about that game, the only thing that was for me is the “souls like” game category. And I missed those.
I literally spent like one and a half hour just to customize the character, the amount of options were a blessing and a big surprise. Not to mention the gameplay how many things are in there…

But that’s not an MMO so I can’t really compare it to WoW in that part…
The thing is as someone mentioned before, I doubt the same developer team would work on the set bonuses and the cosmetical things at once.

Many were sad to hear that it was only one round of customisation updates.

Sadly there is a big difference in how many options are avaialble depending on what race you choose.

Because they’d have to do it for 23/46 different races and genders to achieve some semblancy of parity. One of the consequences of having a severely bloated roster of useless races by the way.

Not to mention that these cosmetics are rightfully so probably very far down on their list of priorities when there are other things that are actually needed to get us through this expansion.

The thing is there is no excuse at all for blizzard being this slow/lazy when there are game companies with only a fraction of manpower/money and they still but 110% more effort doing stuff and lot of times have more complex character creation than WoW’s archaic one from 2004.

Hell it took them well over decade to even give us updated textures and even that took so long that when they were finished they had to already go back and start updating the ones they did first…

To me it’s mind-boggling that the company that has one of the largest amount of manpower to do stuff achieve so little so slowly.

Bit odd a comment for someone who deliberately changed the eye colour to black.
