Death Knight Eyes

I know it’s not important at all, but it would be great if dks could change their eye colour between three options based on their specs (yellowish green, red, blue). These options already exist in the game in the Ebon Hold if I’m not mistaken (which also makes them lore-friendly), so how hard could it be to just add them to the barber shop or bind them to the appropriate spec, using the same system as class mounts. And the reason I posted this here, is obviously because glowing blue eyes highly restrict transmog options and therefore the customisation of your character. Upvote if you agree, so Blizzard sees this!

Not hard, but tedious work. They would need to do all the face options with those eye colors, or just some faces. Currently there’s no way to just change the eye color, they are tied to faces. Also new geosets for new eyeglows.

Still I would like it.

Obviously not very good at the game.

Ir’s better if we had that!

But we can dream.

Don’t they just create one eye type and adjust its size to fit all races? It feels like they could do it in one hour, but I’ve no idea really. Also I don’t know what geosets mean, but again these eyes are already in the game. Can’t they use the exact same glows and looks?

Geoset is a part of a character model. Models are seperated into small parts so they can turned on and off for different character looks. And each one has it’s own predefined texture. So if they want give different eyeglow color they need to make new one with new color. They are simple, just a squre.

More work is to add new faces that would have eyes in that particular color. Becaue eyeglow would look odd. Just check the undead death knight. They didn’t give them new faces with blue eyes so they use yellow eyes with blue glow. It looks bad.

It would take more than an hour for one person. For example. Let’s say they would introduce 3 new faces with green eyes and 3 new faces with red eyes. This means they need to make 144 new face textures: 12 for each race and there are 12 races that can be death knights. And that’s only for one skin color. Each skin color would require 144. So that number grows quite high.

So that’s why they only added 3 belf faces with golden eyes and not all the previous ones… Rip new dk eyes then I guess.
