If you want to play as asian looking race, Goblins looks exactly like Putin.

I also want to allow us to change body type, I want to RP as a Black female with the shape of Serena Williams. They are trying to push conventional European beauty standards with the thin body types on females.

Idk, on the US forums they screamed bloody murder about even the thought of mixing customization. Some people even wanted the hairstyles to be locked to different ethnicities. Something about cultural appropriation.

Yeah that makes me wonder if, as a white woman, playing a black or oriental looking character would be considered… bad. I will probably just stick to elves anyway :grin:

Turn on ‘wide’ face shape. Voila.

Basically; to get more ‘genuine’ caucasian, black and asian faces:

narrow = caucasian.
wide = black.
round = asian.

EDIT: altered the names, I used the old ones.

Now, of course you can mix these up for even more variety, but the looks will then become less ‘pure’ (man, using that word in the context of ‘race’ sounds wrong :sweat_smile:).

And yeah; only a selection of the faces are SPECIFICALLY made to ‘be’ one of the three. So no, when you for instance turn on the ‘heart’ shape, not ALL faces will look asian, just a certain number.

I haven’t really tried, but maybe with some combos you could emulate other ethnic appearances too?

I find the heart shape to be awful because the eyes just go… weird. It’s like their eyelids inverted.

That’s not what he meant smh🤦🏾‍♂️

OP isnt wrong…there arent any asian faces. :frowning:

Closest you can get are the skin tones and faces on the bottom of the list but TBH they are too light and the eyes are too wide to be anything but westernised versions of asian faces.
(kinda weird that its the same thing that happened with Nightborne. NPCs had very narrow looking eyes but Blizzards version had huge anime eyes instead!).

Please, Thank you?

Instead of posting WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA on forums, get some manners and try not to be rude with people when they are giving you the answers.

LET US HAVE FACE CREATION LIKE IN ELDER SCROLLS GAMES !

Everybody will be able to create your own abomination and never - ever hide helm … ever … !!!

PS : + I miss those fancy tattoos rappers have nowadays … :smiley:

Sorry, you would need skinny, short humans for that.

Blizzard giving exactly what they say they will at a blizzcon, isn’t that rare?

I wouldn’t trust the US with anything. They ingested too many soy products to make any rational thoughts.

As an Eastern European slav I couldn’t care less about the opinions of westerners, I want no connection with them.

Then stop playing on OUR servers. :upside_down_face:

Gotta admit, Eastern Europe seems to be more normal than any other country.

I guess it’s how I am reminded of the simpler times when I was growing up. I miss those days.

This is the best I can do on the Beta right now. The appearance feels more exotic for sure, compared to the options on Live WoW. Is it distinctly Asian? No. Are there subtle hints of it? Maybe.

Obligatory:

I will admit; the female options are much less pronounced. Maybe the very last face option is most ‘typically’ asian (in our western view). Male options are more typical overal and a bite more recognizable as being asian (to us westerners).

But; remember that ‘asian’ is very broad. There are many asian appearances and they don’t all look like japanese or chinese people. Of course the game can’t account for all those looks; like they can’t account for all the different caucasian appearances. There’s a basic face/head and WoW has a distinct style. Within those boundaries, I think the results are fine.

Good Lord, humans has hundreds of options while other races barely got anything, yet people still find ways to complain.

EU servers are for all not only the hivemind :slightly_smiling_face:
