So i was wondering, if anyone else is frustrated that lightforged dont have the same options as the non lightforged?
For example, i had planned my lightforged with the base draenei long ago and when i proceeded to make one, there was no Dark hair, the skin tones were less blue than i hoped and i think even faces are different plus hair are missing too. Especially hair color and model were ones i am still missing.
I dont see any rfeason why Lightforged cant have dark hair or why they cant make the hair look same… Heck even if the process of getting to be lightforged somehow changes the tone of hair and skin, there no reason why one cant just use dye to color hair
As long as im concerned, i think what options the base Draenei have should also be available on lightforged and vice versa minus the lightfprged characteristics like passives, runes, tatoo and those augments they have.
I’m sure Lightforged have a lot better customisation than normal draenie honestly, I’ve played this race since the beginning of their input into wow and I’ve always found lightforged got what normal draenie should have got.
I think, if I remember correctly, they didn’t really want to them to be the same, as it would remove the point of the allied race. Might as well just remove the lightforged and add just the customization as a reward for the achieve.
They caved in with the void elves after a long battle by elf people to get their non-void skin tones and hairstyles, which in a way can be justified in a way as they are a different faction.
I’m afraid you’ll have to decide between them.
They are different though even if they had the same skin colors, hairstyles and haircolors. They seem to have same faces though, but the difference is the augments like runes, runestone, and the different jaw plating and such. Theres also the tattoo and the spine armor molded in to flesh somehow. They do also have different passives and the mounts are different. These differencies are what mattter, not the skintones and such. Now to think of it theyu also have same horns and tails and those tendril thingies.
Voidelves however, have much less differencies. They dont even have any tattoo like the nighborne. They are basically just recolors of Sin’dorei and they do have passives, mount and the hunter pet which is also unique to them.
We got recently (edit, with Patch 9.1.5) new hairstyles, options for our tails, new horns and new hair and skin colors I think. Also maybe 1-2 new faces.
No. They are “lightforged”. They should look brighter than the original Draenei with lightbeam in their eyes. Don’t think they should have the same options because then we could just skipped having them altogether. It’s the same with void elves and blood elves, people wanting the same hairstyles and other options for them.
Clearly there is a problem with understranding what lightforged are. Yes thge process of getting to be member of that order can change your appearance, most notably those augments, Tattoos and other thingies that are the cosmetic difference, but it does not mean that your hair or how they comb their hair should be based on what order they are in. These are especially easy to change if one chooses so with a hairbrush, a comb or a hair dye. Skin color is different though, but im not sure are the lightforged really filled with holy light, changing their appearance but still, this could just be a part of being in the order a long. The more agend and experienced draenei could have the light imbue them and change their appearance more while young member could basically look just like normal draenei with only those added augments and runes that clearly are part of being in the order. These are things what can be shared and what cant be shared. In addition to what we now have as same options, the hairstyles, hair colors and MAYBE skin tones should be same with both.
They are not really a different races from different gene pools or something, they are just(Lighforged) normal draeni who have been initiated as part of the order. In this process they get their augments, rune and tattoo. Also they get their special skills(Passives and ability). In addition to be completely realistic, the lightforged should also ghave skills and passives the basic draeni have, but in gameplay and balance point of wiev they should be different…
