Relax, void girl.

I do use vines on my nelf druid thought, i find this pretty cool and it fit lott more nelf than some jewelries…it would bel iek giving vines to NB i would think it make not much sense or to give bone in nose to blood elves

But anyway, i think we should not lose our focus which is "NB customizaiton that we would like to see in game and its why i put these here :

  • Please add LIGHTER SKIN COLORS. THIS IS THE EASIEST CHANGE TO IMPLEMENT!!!
    Players want the following:
    the nightfallen/withered white-teal skin: https://imgur.com/a/rm8MrJr
    Elisande skin tint: https://imgur.com/a/I9hP6MR
    Azhara skin tint: https://imgur.com/a/qnjkMmN
  • Please add MISSING NPC FACES. This face especially is popular: https://imgur.com/BZjlVn4
  • Please add GLOWING HAIR
  • Please re-add the DUSKWATCH ARCBLADE
    Here is a compilation: https://imgur.com/a/Dy9EDyh
  • The eyes need to be even more narrow to fit the ones of NPCs imo. (maybe a third option)
  • Heritage Armour: Adding Red Version, Separating Chin Piece, Retouch of the Male Armour. (+ a non-robe version?)
  • More Eyes Colour: At least blue, green and purple
  • Ear Sizes
  • Missing NPCs Hair Styles
  • Bronze Colour for Jewelry
  • NB Weapons: Adding the Colour Variants
  • Tattoos luminosity adjustment and an option to match it with eye color.
  • Body Tattoos: Adding the Felborne tattoo. (With normal colour if you don’t plan to give us the Felborne options)
  • And let’s finish with scars and blind eyes options

Thanks <3 <3 <3

We love you Linxy :heart_eyes: you are the best! Please don’t forget to relay our Void elf customization requests to the team as well so they can add them in the near future as once 9.1.5 hits they will be quite behind on customization compared to other races! You can check all the Void elf requests here:

Very long wish list (alliance players will probably kill me for that):

  • Circuit option for amazing new arcane hands.
  • Mana hair, same as NPCs have, probably with some color variations.
  • Already existing nightborne & nightfallen NPC’s skin tones, including Elisande tint.
  • Already existing nightborne NPC’s faces.
  • More younger faces without creepy smiles.
  • 3rd narrow eyes option to be closer to original.
  • More eye colors: nighfallen violet, arcane magenta, fel green, nightwell dark blue, dusk lily pink, coral, blind.
  • Color options for leylines. I’d also say “glow intensity slider”, if… But please, somehow make it more noticeable.
  • Already existing NPC’s hairstyles (both Valtrois’ hairstyles in her nightfallen and recovered form, Silgryn’s hairstyle).
  • More longer hairstyles for male.
  • Some physics for a hair. For example, “Highborn” hairstyle has physics for NPCs, but not for players (comparison by Lunaera):

https: //youtu. be/lADIzrHExkc — Legion NPC
https: //youtu. be/0kZsvEH92lw — Shadowlands player

  • “Highborn” hairstyle fix or replacement to look (and move) like the NPC’s original.
  • “Pigtails” hairstyle looks creepy and unfinished. Just please, don’t copy from Kaldorei.
  • Diadem and head jewelry fix since they’re clipping through some hairstyles.
  • More hair ornaments maybe in future: Arcan’dor vines for a hair, decorative dusk lily flower(s), glowing fal’dorei web, thin silver chains with moonstones/purple gems.
  • NPC’s turned down ears option — https: //pbs. twimg. com/media/E-W9Rf5WYAE1aXv?format=png
  • Longer/sharper fingernails as NPCs have.
  • Claw jewelry from Elisande model — https: //www. wowhead. com/npc=110965/elisande#modelviewer
  • Fal’dorei hairstyle or something alike.
  • Some Nightfallen & Felborne options (darker nightfallen leylines, face shades, fel leylines/skin tones, etc).

why asking those in details below if interested:

Asking for Nightfallen stuff because being on the edge of withering could leave a trace for a character appearance, or the character may be not fully recovered yet.

Felborne options tho may require some lore explainations via quests and dialogs.

At first, I want to deal with “no way, they are villains!” argument. C’mon, we have Death Knights (ex-Scourge) and Demon Hunters (tbc Main Bad Guy’s followers and Fel users)! Even the forsaken sometimes act like villains. It’s all up to proper story. Also, we don’t know for sure if all of them are 200% evil. Demon exhaling fel + nightborne = felborne. But we have no idea, was becoming felborne a voluntary choice or compulsion.

If it was a conscious choice, few felborne survivors could definitely change their mind after Legion’s defeat. “Always on the winning side” guys can see who is the winner now.

Also, shal’dorei’s root causes to embrace Fel were not necessarily evil —

“Nightborne felt forced to join the Legion out of fear of their own survival mixed with their dependency on magic. Like Blood Elves, some Nightborne would have used Fel energies as a way to satisfy their craving of magic before the fruit. Other Nightborne would understand and empathize with the fear for survival and need to feed.” (c)

This even could be a reckless attempt to study an enemy from within.

If it was a compulsion and Fel magic enslaves them, as the Lich King dominated his Knights (which is doubtful, but why do they still serve the demons?..), there should be a way to free them with a chance to redeem.

“Even after the Legion’s defeat in Suramar, the Felborne continue to serve the demons and can be found on the Broken Shore.” (с) wowpedia

They just have no reason to do so. No more powerful masters to serve, prodigal children may try to return home to beg Thalyssra’s forgiveness and be very, very useful to rebuild her trust. I don’t think they can easily forget the city they had been living in for 10,000 years anyway… And if they only join us now, at least it explains why we did’t have Felborne among us (and such customization) before.


Few more wishes:

  • Non-robe heritage armor, or just any already existing Suramar armor instead, whatever is easier to do.
  • More revealing male heritage armor maybe? To see all the beautiful leylines.
  • Duskwatch Arcblade return with proper sheath position on the back. Would be also happy to see shal’dorei style daggers… one day.
  • At least some Suramar clothes available for players.
  • Unique dance (every allied race deserves one) instead of Night Elf dance.
  • Unique casting animations instead of Night Elf animations (personally I love channeling casting animations of this model — https://www.wowhead.com/npc=110381/faldorei-silkwitch#modelviewer
  • Suramar NPCs shouldn’t be hostile to their own kin. Would be amazing to see after rebellion city version with Zidormi’s help, or at least you could make NPCs neutral to us.

  • Not only nightborne related: customization lock. So ppl can “lock” specific options and use randomize button without the chosen options being changed.
  • Please, consider adding class-related customization options. Not just for 2 classes, but for each of them, so it will be fair. Imagine playeable night elf druid with antlers, camouflage paint for hunters, warrior scars and so on.

Yes, I know it sounds greedy since the nightborne got some attention already. But hey, let’s be realistic: there is 0 chance all mentioned above will be implemented. At least few is good already. Some folks here have been waiting and asking for the changes for 4 years, and the only plea was “we want to look like our legion NPC counterparts” (well, and more than one eye color). And if nightborne customization will set a new standard, so be it. It means eventually other races will get more love too :purple_heart:

I think it would be most efficient if we would join our efforts to support the changes with the highest priority:

Can we add in the red version of the Nightborne Heritage Armor, that isn’t available in-game?

Suits the idea of Nightborne being a Horde race.

On my client doesn’t appear, and I hope it’s not true. They have still so much work to do, or it’s going to be another half-finished work from Blizzard… :confused:

I mean, okay you don’t want give us more stuff then what already given. Or they have, for whatever reason, exhausted their budget for the customisation.
But at the very least before release, give us the simplest one that are already in-game and would need a very little work. Like: Red Version of the Heritage Armour, giving back the Duskwatch Arcblade, separate the chin piece, open up the male version and give us the other colours for the NB Weapons. If these things are not going to be in game for 9.1.5 release, I’m going to be very disappointed as I immagine all of you are going to be :confused:

Are you sure? I dont have any on my client and i saw no news about this but i can always be wrong

To be honest, for the past 4 years of my life, I only wanted the slanted eye option, I fell in love with the race because of their looks, (I have slanted eyes irl that’s why hahaha) other customization wishes were just extras, I am happy for what we have gotten so far, and I really do appreciate it.

But I do hope the work is not done, I hope we will see some new stuff for our beloved race in the future.

When the time will come for second round, please add ponytail Blizz :smiley:

Not at all. I’m very excited for all of the new changes implemented in 9.1.5 - especially those of Void Elves and Nightborne.

Can’t wait for those slanted eyes and glowing hands. <3

Void elves steal their things from the blood elves. You are an inferior walmart version of the original. Void elves are also traitors who worship human potential. I feel disgusted to call you my kin. Go to Stormwind where you belong and stay there.

Just posting to show my support for all Nightborne customisations ideas. Good Luck !

( I might start one for Kul’tiran but english’s not my natal language)

Wait wait ! :no_mouth: Don’t take me for ungrateful, I am extremly grateful for what we have recieved and can’t wait to make new characters thanks to this new customisations. But since we are talking of very easy thing to implement, I would be surprised and sad that they didn’t do it. That’s all :sweat_smile:
