Guys, I honestly don’t understand Blizzard developers anymore. For years, players have been asking for new customization options — hairstyles, accessories, face variations, and so on — and Blizzard keeps ignoring it.
Players ask for glyphs to disable the dark form for Shadow Priests, or to turn off the glowing eyes for Oracles (and I’m only speaking for the Priest class here, because that’s all I play) — and Blizzard still ignores it.
But hey, we constantly get 100500 recolors of skirts and boots. Seriously?!
It feels like the devs are completely disconnected from the community — like they don’t read the forums and don’t even play their own game.
Why spend time, money, and effort creating strange, uninspired races that 0.1% of players will actually choose?
Please focus on EXISTING races and classes. Add new hairstyles (or at least make existing ones and hair colors available across all races).
Create new cosmetic glyphs — players have been asking for them for years — to bring more personality and variety into the game.
I really hope you’ll support me in these requests.
I would love to see more Customization for Undead personally.
Give us the ability to choose individually for each body part, if we want it to show skin or bone. So I can have one arm showing a bone, one as Skin, both legs as Bone, no spine, etc.
Also, Chaos Orcs! The Alliance got their Red Draenie, please make up some excuse for us to recruit the Chaos Orcs that were left unemployed in Outlands
If this thread doesnt result in us getting a boobie slider it was a waste of time
However, outrageously exaggerating and understating numbers to the point of complete absurdity doesn´t help your argument get taken seriously by anyone, even by those that would otehrwise support it. 10. 15 even 20 recolors =/=100500, and even the most recently introduced race (earthen) completely shatters your .1% figure by a factor of 5. All others do it by a factor of at least 20.
I cannot in good faith support an argument that was clearly made in bad faith, no matter how much I agree with it. Therefore, more customization is still good, but not if it´s done in response to this thread.
While I generally agree, this isn´t really about being bad at math, it´sabout presenting numbers that you know are wrong, and that even teh most uneducated pre-schooler can take one look at and instantly smell a rat.
If he had said 100 recolors, that would be exaggeration but not stupefying hyperbole, same as if he had said 1% for the player/ race ratios… Hell even stating “a bajillion recolors” would have made more sense, because that IS obvious hyperbole being used for the sake of argument. But nope, people always gotta overdo everything by at least an order of magnitude because they think they´re the only smart one in the room that can tell the difference between a realistic number and an obvious lie masquerading as a precise number.
There a hundred ways to twist statistics to say whatever you want them to or at least give the impression that you want them to by overblowing the number without distorting it to the point where it becomes part of the alphabet. For example, I´m a legit multibillionaire, if I count in micro€ instead of cents.
This is a breakdown of how many options there are for each race also broken down into male and female (as they differ). Would be nice if we all had as many choices as the Dracthyr.
Generally, I agree that Nightborne have very few options which makes them look as epic as the Nightborne NPCs in Suramar and I’d say that Felborne options should be available…but I’d say that Blood Elves and Void Elves now have the least varied amount of new features.
For example: Yes, Void Elves do have the High Elf features. It’s why I play Void Elves…I don’t have any “Void” Elf characters as they are all “High Elves” and only use the additional features that were brought over from the Blood Elves, but does that mean that Void Elves shouldn’t have more “Void” based features? Like additional eyes on their foreheads or maybe their hands.
What about arcane shadowy hands, a bit like the Ethereals who use the void constantly?
Then for Blood Elves: We have so much but at the same time, so few actual varied options. I mean, we’ve got Blood Elves as we know them with Green and Golden Eyes and of course, we’ve got more “High Elf” stuff with Purple and Blue eyes, but what about Felblood Elf features? If Draenei can look like Eredar, then why can’t Blood Elves look like Felblood Elves?
Why can’t Blood Elves have runic facial tattoos just like the Male Blood Elf on the TBC Box Art, indicating their mastery over Arcane Magic.
Only Night Elves have the most features, out of all races
