Well, Night Elves are back, with some nice customization options, but no updates to the WoD models. I really like the new options!
Unfortunately it’s very clear that the Night Elf male overhaul is not a priority. A rushed 3d model which is the 3rd most played race in the game is apparently not that important
FINALLY someone brings this up! I saw it myself the day it was introduced…and I do not even own a Night Elf! It looks awful, completely awful…like they try their hardest not to let go of an enormous fart! Seriously…LOOK AT THEM! x,D
I never noticed the head, but I was always pretty bothered by the narrow waist, I wish they’d make them better proportioned. I did set my sight on an amazing shadowlands male night elf customization though (sorry for the dumb link, faction change ate my karma):
You are completely right, THANK YOU! You are spot on! I also think the Night Elves got the short end of the stick lore-wise as well as from an implementation standpoint.
The nightborne male model is so much better looking, it’s well balanced anatomically.
What bothers me the most with the current male nelf mode is really the super weird waist, huge arms and hands, the weird neck, that chest…
When comparing it to other core races it also looks more low res in body detail. The female looks great, strong and athletic but the male looks like he pumped some fluids into his arms and bam, muscles.
Tha faces are still terrible but otherwise the body looks good. It’s not overdone in size, one reason why I don’t like the human model. Still has that characteristic small waist but in more moderation.
Hi Blizz. Please fix the nelf asap as I main horde and when I see a NELF I cannot even attack it due to this issue (not tempting at all) - make pvp great again!
