Undead customization feedback

Community General Discussion

Undead customization are not as expected. Many options are missing after the convergence to New models, and existing options that are available in Chinese client are pushed as new feature.

While options are good. Variety of options are also better. Preferably options that does blend with the racial theme that was brought to us over these years.

In my opinion the developers can look at Classic Undead and try to improve things further more.

More Deformities please!

The Undead have became more life over the years, in Classic we had many options/deformities that made sense for a character raised from death to have.

You can see even with low technologies, the undead did have creepiness in their look. You can see their teeth exposed from the cheek. Their flesh is decayed enough. They are not supposed to have living young skin like they just raised from dead and went to take their Botox injections.

With newer technology we should have this. We still have Jawless look. So why don’t we have more deformities options? Blizzard please.

Posture options please!

Straight back forsaken

Many of you have already noticed. There ARE Forsaken with straight back in the game. Why not have this option for Forsaken?

Also maybe extend the posture options to female and give us slouched undead ?

More Features ALA more masks please!

The only mask option we have in game.

Over these years, only one mask available? perhaps we can introduce more? How about different colors?

More decay option

What better example to provide than the LICH.

When people wanted the Chinese covered bones options, there where some who also wanted to have total lich look.

I think this is possible to have, there is already Skeleton trolls in Vol’dun, the tech seems to be there.

If we wanted more details… Perhaps then we can choose which part of body to have covered? Maybe to have a character with one total boned arm and the other covered? So many options!

I hope this reaches the concerned developers.

While I do agree more customisation is good, you have to take into account the forsaken embalmers have gotten more experience and also access to better tinctures and potions, so they can preserve the life-like appearance for a longer period of time.

As for the teeth being shown through the cheeks, idk man, half my food was splattered around me while chewing crusaders. That’s a waste.

Personally I quite like the new customisations but they could certainly do more (same could be said with any race though), and these ideas do seem good.

You are not supposed to chew, just swallow. Ask Jawless undeads.

How do jawless undeads bite the flesh off though?

I have an idea but it depends on whether they can move their tongues…

But don’t forsaken not need to eat though?

hmmm that’s good question… Maybe they just tear the flesh with their hands and swallow…

or maybe by banging their upper jaw in the corpse.?

Cannibalise is their racial though.

Could do. Is the banging heavy metal like? I could see that working. But then they could chip a tooth or two. Hmmm

Which is a gameplay feature. They can eat, but I don’t think they need to. Look at Hillsbrad, can’t remember the quest but the completion text says “You can go ahead and keep the yeti hearts. I hear they hold excellent nutritional value - if you’re into eating”, and the stagwich has the flavour text “Pretty good, if you’re into eating.” This would suggest it is not needed.

If only I can make an undead that looks like that

Okay that does actually look pretty cool, and if we’re getting the option for more skin I guess it’s only fair to get the inverse at some point. Maybe not in SL, but certainly someday.

That image of a WoW NPC BTW? It looks a little like it but also seems a little too dark-coloured to be WoW.

Yesterday i was sitting next to our ship in harbor and i had a time to look carefully at those straightback undeads, and i loved them, this option must be defo added to the game!

15

You are right. This one is from Warcraft reforge.

I always wanted a hellraiser themed undead, but since they are hunched over i don’t even bother making an undead. I don’t understand how the undead can make all limbs still work except get a straight back… I made a thread aaages ago about straight back undead.

I always wanted my Forsaken to look like her:

I think I succeeded at using the look. All I’m missing is a pink lip. So would be nice if Makeup options (mostly lipstick colors like Black, blue, red, and pink) was given to undead females, while the males get straight backs. Compared to the Humans they are kinda lacking.

19

But she isn’t hunched over like the undead in the game. Every undead character from whatever horror or series or movie that people would love to have their character like in WoW they’re all standing up straight. Even zombie movies with dozens of zombies running after people they still have this ability to stand up straight when they want to lol.

Change of tongue color based on skin tones shall return.

It was already there when New Models launched in WOD then they just nerf it without any reason.
