Sub-race names & templates tied to the new customization options

That’s not the first time I read requests for a Leper Gnome customization.
Sounds as legit as many others that were already implemented…

Would you be able to name any more missing gnome customizations?

Clockwork gnomes, probably something they could add to mecha-gnomes at some point.

Hopefully this pleases you, then!

Feel free to share it whenever you feel that Gnome-lovers might appreciate it, obviously. :slight_smile:

As promised, I have reworked the original mockups for Dwarves and Trolls.

Wildhammer and Dark Iron Dwarves:
(tbh I am still rather uncertain about how to best handle allied races)

May be a good idea to switch to these in the main post?

I have an idea… can I edit your mockups to show you?

Sure thing! Just please do not forget me. :wink:

As a matter of facts, I can send you the source files. Will write you in-game.

I love all the work you are doing. The Troll tribes, the different dwarves and all the others. Thank you for it. It’s great.

It’s such an amazing concept idea, I really hope it’s get noticed and perhaps included in some way. I simply love it. This would go along way for customization and even make the RP aspect of the game bigger.

The Green skin looks amazing! I’m still hopeful it will be added. It’s not the same fighting the Horde if they don’t have Forrest trolls. I want some Warcraft 2 vibes :heart_eyes:

All your ideas are fantastic!

I think the Ice Troll looks amazing too, I wanted to go make one :rofl:

I agree with both of you. Green skin for Forest Trolls would really give some “family reunion” vibes, uniting the tribes and strong WC2 nostalgia which I am all for.
I would also love having Ice Trolls too.

While I was at it, I thought I’d mention that some extra jewelry, even as simple as broad metal loops and a necklace matching the hairbands included by some of the current haircuts, would also allow roleplayers some better Highborne customization.

Edit: Mind you, for the jewelry I am basically quoting everlastingblackjack’s Reddit post. Some credit is also due to Simaia as I have edited the haircut putting two different styles together as I have seen her do in her 3D art.

Yes, I know that Allied Races are not supposed to get customizations at this stage.
(Although, Void/High Elves…)

Yes, I know that we repaired the Arcan’dor as a cure for the Nightfallen.

But they look cool, and I have read some posts where people asked for them:

An interesting option Moira :slight_smile:

I guess you could call it a gesture of goodwill, since some Horde players expressed annoyance at my Night Elf Highborne mockup saying they were tired of the Alliance asking/getting stuff and that they would rather want to see something new for the Nightborne instead…

(And I know this is just my personal opinion but seen how ugly the Nightborne based on Night Elves turned out to be, the model might actually work better for a Nightfallen subrace than it currently does for the Nightborne…)

So first of all, thanks to Moira for sending me her Photoshop template to play with. :yellow_heart:

Then off I go: this is how the racials selection could look if allied races were merged into the same screen as the base race.

  • Pro: we’d get the option to choose our favorite racials for a toon depending on our gameplay.
  • Con: whether they are 4 or 5 option, it would wtill leave less room for all the pretty templates…
