    Patch 9.1.5 - Lightforged Draenei, Nightborne, and more Customizations

    Patch 9.1.5 - Lightforged Draenei, Nightborne, and more Customizations

    Greetings everyone

    Our characters in game are a virtual representation of who we are in Azeroth and having more character customization options to design our characters helps us feel closer to them. Shadowlands brought a whole array of new customization options to the player races in World of Warcraft, but there were a few of the Allied Races that didn’t get as much attention as the rest.

    Back at BlizzConline in February, we stated that we had no plans to add additional customization options until after Shadowlands, but after hearing the passionate feedback around the issue, we looked into whether we could implement more options sooner. We’re pleased to announce that 9.1.5 will introduce new character customization options for Nightborne and Lightforged Draenei which include: new hair styles, hair colors, facial hair, skin colors, accessories, horns, tail length, tattoos, and more!

    In addition to new customization options for Lightforged Draenei and Nightborne, 9.1.5 will also introduce other cosmetics such as:
    • Ear Size options for Void Elves
    • New Travel Forms for Druids
    • New Soulshapes for Night Fae
      • New Crittershapes to unlock: Soulshape into an adorable squirrel or other small critters. Note: Due to their tiny appearances, they are only usable in rested areas.
      • Option to Soulshape and Crittershape into randomly collected appearances.
    • New Toys

    We’ll be continuing to expand our character customization in the future, with our sights set on Highmountain Tauren next.

    Stay tuned for more information.

    Good that they listened, but Nightborne needs a complete overhaul to look more like their Legion models.

    That's what the game needs, unironically. We don't need more complex useless systems or more borrowed power bullshit, just bring the RP back into MMORPG by allowing people for more customization, more options, more ways to feel like it's their game and not just your hamster-wheel-casino-RNG-racket system.

    I never understood why WoW wasn't doing more with cosmetics. Not even out-there, insane shit - just a ton of options that would be perfectly justified within the lore, some of which even existing in the game already for NPCs. Let alone what you could do with a whole wealth of sources like professions etc.

    People will probably flood this with "we asked for changes to the game and all we get is void elf ears WTF?!" but going ham on cosmetic options is part of what they should do. Not all of it, of course, not by a long shot; but something at least.

    Wow that's so inclusive they really are changing by adding these options to the diverse playable characters of Azeroth. #change

    Fucking finally.

    NPC lookalike Nightborne NOW! My biggest desire in this game since Legion. Make it happen!

    By "new" do they actually mean new or just moving hairs and stuff from regular draenei and night elves over to these models?

    I really hope the options include options for the eye shape and changes to the body type used for both male and female nightbourne characters, to better distinguish nightbourne from night elf.

    Considering they've yet to make hair actually look decent on any model since the HQ model update, I'm not going to hold my breath.

    I might actually enjoy playing my Nightborne mage again if these customization additions are substantial enough.

    They need to add the slanted/narrowed eyes giving the NB NPCs their signature haughty look.

    Anything beyond that I'll consider a bonus, though a couple more hairstyles would be appreciated as well.

    Good, good! People love cosmetics, it's just a triggering fact (for some).

    Really nice to hear about new TRAVEL forms though, considering I've wanted my Tauren and Troll and Worgen to have something else to choose from than a stag or a 2004 "Cheetah" since they first added the Stag. Kodo travel form for Tauren? Please say it is so.

    They didn't mention EYE customizations.
    Please bring nightborne NPC eyes to player models!!

    Well, several (and by that I mean A LOT) of the new haircuts straight up lack a hairline to connect it to the head. Some of the haircut don't look like hair but are like solid blocks. It's pretty blatant on some of the gnome female haircuts who really have the Playmobil hair syndrom.

    I'm quite curious about that too.

    Will it be recolors ?
    New animals glyphs ?
    Being able to chose the Travel forms of other races ?
    Covenant specific forms ?
