    This is one main area I see Blizzard slipping behind much of the competition, and on paper, its an "easy" win for them. More customization really is a win/win as far as i can see it. No, i dont want the sliders other mmos and games have where you end up with comical and idiotic looking players running everywhere, and yes, they need to work within the limitations presented by having so many different gear slots and styles, totally understand that.

    But more unique and different hairstyles and faces, beards, sub-races like wildhammer etc - I just dont see a negative at all outside of the dev time to produce them - which, shock horror, is how the game industry works - obviously nothing is free, but for the life of me I cant see a downside for Blizzard here.

    Since im confident most if not all of you are major game devs, can anyone with experience in this realm provide some input on how much dev time would be required to put together a new hairstyle?

    I'm gonna be fair on them here.

    This hairstyle is from WoD. WoD included some pretty horrible hairstyles that never made it in back then that they made available in Shadowlands.

    Apparently an update of sorts on this topic.



    I would laugh if it weren't so tragic.

    XD I mean, it was literally just to sell the expansion; now that's pretty much out, they really see no reason why to spend resources.

    better hype more customization as a 10.x selling feature lol

    It's like adding the 7.3.5. allied races and then Mag'har and Dark Irons with BfA launch and then stating during 8.1 previews: "Yeah, we're done adding allied races for the rest of the expansion. Maybe in 9.0."

    Sometimes I wonder if Ion tries to one-up himself each expansion by doing at least one awful thing that induces outrage for a majority of players. I've tried to be fair with the guy, but every time I give him the benefit of the doubt he strikes again.

    Honestly, I can give Ion shit here, and I do think it's a dumb statement.

    But he's probably just trying to crawl out of the mess created by his co-workers. Sure, his answer wouldn't have changed in essence, but he likely would've wrapped it up in lawyerisms. The fact that his co-workers were so frank about it meant that he was put on the spot.

    That's what I assume, at least.

    "We are cutting this expansion one patch in. But don't worry, we have transmogs in this content update to make it up to you."
    "Don't you always give us new transmog with content patches, anyway?"
    "Yes, but this one is reused."
    "??"
    "Well bye!"

    Transmog is totally not a replacement for customization. Not only that, but the new Covenant sets are really lackluster. Did they really think more of the controversial Covenant system was the answer to requests for customization? So out of touch with their playerbase. They have become corporate masters in their ivory towers who only listen to the echo chamber of sycophantic employees jostling to kiss the most behind.

    Where is the passion? Where is the drive?

    Showcase of user-made fully implemented ports of existing assets from other races to nightborne male. This is like the lowest hanging fruit imaginable, but nope, waiting any less than 2 years to maybe see something like this is too much to ask for a market leader who claimed it would be an ongoing focus.

    My god. It's painful that a random person managed to implement that much.

    Even the glowy hands.

    And I bet it didn't take up much time either.

    Blizzard doesn't listen. It's really odd, they could earn a lot of money by listening a bit, yet they don't. Don't you guys wanna make money?

    I'd fucking pay for Dark Ranger customization or even as a class. I want them so freakin' bad and have since I started playing. There's their money right there. Would it be a slimy move? Sure, but at least they'd have no dumb excuses not to implement something already in the game files. At the bare minimum I'm asking them to enable NPC options and share hairstyles and customizations across races where it makes sense. I wouldn't be so upset if they gave me a real reason instead of river dancing around it. I could also understand them writing off customization until they caught up (if they needed to, but that clearly isn't the case as they stated in the making of the tree mount video that the art team is ahead) not the entire expansion.

    There's definitely been more than enough customization added to races. I'm more interested in expanding the playable races overall. There's hundreds of races in wow and I think it would be sick to play as them. Obviously that is crazy hard to incorporate playable races into a universe dominated by a select few, but damnit i want to be a big fat auchindoun arrakoa!!

    But even those races I feel could use more stuff.
    But not nearly as much as the allied races, Goblins, Pandaren, Worgen, Trolls, Draenei, Blood Elves, Dwarves, Undead and Gnomes.

    Did I forget any?
