If anyone wants to see their character's face close up, I can take in-game (non character screen) pictures.

You're missing Male Gnome. Those are the best!

[snuzzle]

I just noticed those. I think they were still downloading on my machine!

[Deleted]

I think they did a great job with these. Some faces still need work, but it's not sameface anymore (looks esp. different in-game, f.e. some night elf females have different nose shapes and so on)

Can't wait to see more!

[Elisdad]

Well, would have rather had Blood Elves...

[High Marshal Sigismund]

Whatever. Not disappointed. Not impressed.

[Numbars]

Sure some of those still need some polishing but I'm loving the Night Elves!

[Wildmoon]

Is it just me who think that old Draenei female's faces are all the same? I mean how they would make different faces when the original faces are the same? I like other races so far.

There are subtle differences. I don't think they've done a very good job of replicating them so far; the new ones remind me of the april fool's joke they did.

[Wrathonia]

Yeah, female draenei faces look way too similar still and have duckface issues.

2003 graphics to 2007 graphics , how amazing. move on!

Agreed, I fear these "facial customizations" may end up being worse than same face for some races. Like, let's say Tauren, they all look fine on beta atm, their faces all look just as distinct as on live... so are they gonna mess with them? I hope not.

[7seti]

Also don't like how the female draenei have thick, jet-black eyelashes regardless of their hair colour. I hope that's not final.

We have our own opinion, you have yours.

2/10, made me reply

That's one of the problem. Some races like BE female,Draenei female,etc have very similar face on live. How are they gonaa differentiate them when the are originally quite similar?

Exactly, I hope they don't just do it for the sake of doing it. Even Male Belves only have slight frowns, scowls and age lines. If I have to wait even longer for my main to be updated, I want him to LOOK like my main.

[MinTDH]

EDIT: Ignore that. Seems I was wrong.

What funny is if they make them to reflect the original's faces which are quite similar, some people are going to call them lazy for making the same face.

[Potassiumgluconate]

Oh my god, they absolutely annihilated female Draenei faces.

Night elf faces actually look really good now. But those poor Draenei.

[Slowpoke is a Gamer]

Subtle, and I'm glad for that.

I was afraid they were going to way overdo it on avoiding sameface.
