Last wish - Nightborne customization

Community General Discussion
1002

Greetings, Linxy. I must say that I admire the work of the art team, you guys are doing an incredible job. I really do, and I hope you keep this up.

However, I find your choices a bit confusing from time to time: When you thought of adding more customizations, why in the world did you not think of adding a single long beard for the Human race?

Are you not familiar with long-bearded Humans? Of course you are. After all, there are Humans in the game with long beards, they just are…outdated NPCs (see Khadgar’s TBC model, the Necromancer model, and citizen models in the dungeon “Old Hillsbrad Foothills”).

As a main fantasy aspect for Human wizards, shouldn’t long beards have been the first thing to come up with?

And especially when you know that Humans are objectively the most diverse race, and you yourselves say that

Humans should have had a long beard option since 9.0.
Of course other races could use it, too, don’t get me wrong, but Humans need it most desperately. They don’t have a single beard that covers the chest.

I know other races needed attention since they got nothing, but now that you dealt/ are dealing with them, can you please give us a hint that we will actually get long beards for Humans? It is just a terrible injustice we have endured since Classic.

I have a lot of hope that something like long beards for humans is on the agenda, just as it is for the race: humans to introduce the hairstyles and beards of the Kul Tirans.

Blizzard has created such a great diversity with all the hairstyles and other customisation options for different races, why not make them accessible for the most part. It seems that only minimal adjustments are needed in the process.

Oh and it would be really wonderful to see hair and (long) beards through headgear like hats, hoods or open helmets.

Keep up the good work Art Team! Thank you very much!

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:

[Album] Pandaren necks

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.

I was wondering if it’s ok to give Blood elves a few extra customizations? The males especially seem a little lacking.

Of course Allied races are a top priority when it comes to customizations, especially the Highmountain, Vulpera, Kul’tirans, etc.

But once that is all done, I would love it if blood elves get something’s too. (Suggesting this for my blood elf friends)

  • Elven tattoos (like Warcraft 2)

  • Runic tattoos (like the art in burning crusade for blood elves)

  • Red eyes (for Blood elf Deathknights at least)

Thank you :heart: this will give them more flavor, especially TBC themed.

The thread turned into humans beards, void elves hair colour, pandaren issues, blood elf customization while the thread is dedicated for the Nightborne.
These people…

No offense Luna, but the Blue announced the customizations here. So… Its natural for people to request stuff here.

They have announced the Nightborne and LFD changes here, not for others.

Nothing stops them from making their own threads.

Sorry if we blew up the topic of the post a bit. ^^’ It’s only been that Blue Person above who has inspired one to hit the keyboard, thinking it will be more likely to be listened this way.

They mentioned the void elf here too.

But still… Nightborne could really go with actual visible tattoos. The weird angles you have to shift to see them irks me.
Also, give me my arcane glow on hair and fingers!

But you got what you wanted, and this thread has had more attention than all my pleas for long beards together.

And that used to happen in my every thread- I asked for long beards for Humans, and some people cried “Nightborne got nothing”. Indeed they had nothing, but these are two completely different things. Do you feel threatened by other requests, even after they are made real?

I made the Long Beards For Humans (#LBFH) comment because this thread already became centered around Void Elves. It has not been about Nightborne for a while now (ever since the announcement).

And since it drew Blizzard’s attention, I thought it was one of a very few opportunities to talk some sense to them.

These in mind, I do not see why this is bad.
