Nightborne: the fixes we need

I mean, they don’t even accept the fact that the Nightborne was rushed, (in Q&A Ion said we will add customizations if we feel like it is lacking)

However Blizzard still uses NPC models of the Nightborne not player models. Which means even they are ashamed of the look of the playable Nightborne.

In Zandalar Npc models, war campaign Npc models, even mission table soldier Nightbornes are Npc models.

It really hurts me seeing how they ignore the fact that we need rework.

hetige armor is just so ugly …

and no dark gray skin alterative

The only thing I don’t agree with is the dried up faces and bodies. They are NB elves not wretched or whatever those are called. And to be honest in my opinion I don’t think many will want to play that bad guy from Harry Potter.

But I fully agree with the heritage armor. I laughed my rear off when they showed it. What was the logic behind it, I’m sure I don’t know but from where I’m standing the playable nb were the shy ones, given that most of their race shows quite a bit of skin while the heritage armor shows none. So if anyone has any theories to why they went with that prude borne robe please enlighten me.

When you make a Nightborne you see the old models standing there, and 1: taller than you, 2: doesn’t look like you 3: looks waaay cooler.

I dunno why blizzard thought it was a good idea to re-create them to look like a teenager Night Elf…

This.

And I think people should support the idea of rework even if they don’t play one.

Allied races were a great idea poorly executed.

I would play Nightborne if they had the old models.

Maybe if they were separate races and not recolors. I’m not grinding rep for glowing Draenei or brown Orcs.

Actually the allied races were not a bad idea. Instead of just turning them into skin options they gave us a story and the nb story at least was damned good. Yeah they could have done a better job but in my opinion it was much better than having them be cosmetic options.

That too, but first of all I think we need NPC models as playable.

They look nothing like NPC male armor. Here is the link from another post.

The heritage armour needs a non robe option. They desperately need new faces for males and females.

Also mana hair and hands.

To be honest, IMO arcane infused hands and the hairs are Archmage features , such as the Antlers and the feathers of Nightelven Archdruids.

But however, Velf have void tentacles, which means Nightborne could have them too.

But yea, faces first maybe?

I support this post, the Nightbourne look amazing as NPC’s but I couldnt bring myself to make one with how they currently look.

Not only you, many people were hyped on Blizzcon thinking we are getting NPC playable Nightborne.

Sadly, the hype was ruined when they have introduced the playable Nightborne.

On another hand, thank you for your support!

Shameful to see the community ignoring unique races, but when there is a forum just a simple one, “Blood Elfs needs more Hair Styles” then it’s getting so much attention, saddens me that the community is more addicted to what Blood Elfs will get next than other Races like the Nightborne, I don’t play them, but sure agree to them needing a change, they have 4-5 hairstyles? 2 hair colors? or something like that, yikes…and most people were hyped about their old models, and still blizzard changed them.
