That would be great, actually.

There's no way you're seriouse...

Also what about green maghar or better yet, freaking mechagnomes with no cybernetic enhancements what so ever.

Like they are getting this very patch?

No they're not...

[Varx]

Those look like regular draenie to you?

[elbleuet]

But no, now you got discount/fake alliance high elves that require add ons to truly immerse yourself as one. Unless you're a pally player or use their heritage armor and/or heritage mount.

Fake Alliance High elves > *

I think they might have been referring to the tail length options, and hair adornments.

[Yarathir]

Those look like regular draenie to you?

Literally took the exact same tail options from reg draenei.
Draenei got jewelry for their hair and horns too. (inb4 "noooo it doesn't count because the shapes are different!!!)
What else is there? Oh yeah, skin recolors, which 4 of those are pretty close to reg draenei ones.

Again, not touching on anything particularly new and unique to them.

Close is not the same as exact,

Also, please show me a draenei with lightforged naaru plated tattoos that are an effect of the lightforge process.

My god, please just stop embarrassing yourself with this pedantic bullshit.

Your comment was "imagine if LFD got regular draenei options." They literally are. Now please stop posting for the next 5 years.

Yeah as in looking like a vanilla draenie.

Love how my logic just aggravates you since you know im right.

Dude, can you make an LFD look EXACTLY liek a regular draenie, yes or no. It's a very simple question.

I would really just merge most AR's with their Core Races and have different origins.

I didn't move any goal post.

I said imagine if LFD got regular draenie options, but apperantly I have to specify that its the ability to have your LFD look exactly like a regular draenie.

But what about my other scenarios which use the same anti natural velf logic.

Should maghar have green skin options. Keep in mind maghar literally translates to uncorrupted and green skin is a side effect of Fel CORRUPTION in orcs.

Or

Should mechagnomes have the ability to look like regular gnomes. Liek absolute ZERO cybernetics.


Like just answer the question my dude, stop dodging the questions

[Yarathir]

Lightforged Draenei should've been a Draenei option and in their place we should have had Krokul/Broken.

Also forehead plate options for Draenei when?

That's not what I asked.

Again, with lore integrity Taken into consideration, should maghar have green skin options or mechagnomes with zero cybernetics if players requested them, YES or NO

What a disingenuous question tho, lol.

Are Green Orcs or non mechanized gnomes available to the same faction otherwise?

Come on. Don't try to make a "gotcha" when the whole context is different.

Also, when you said "draenei customizations" I was really thinking about hairstyles and jewelry, those should be shared between CR and AR.

Yeah.

Honestly LFD, Maghar, HMT and Dark Iron Dwarves all should have been customization options.

[Valandale]

Since we got our High Elf options, and the squeeze being felt by Blizz atm, i think it is the best time for just everyone to start asking for what they want added for customization. I don't think we'll see any new ARs or even new races anytime soon but customization seems like a good chance of being added. Tattooes and runes on skin for everyone really! All elves have rune-tattoos in their cultures, heck it'd be fun to see Void Tattoos for VEs, Arcane for both, Light and/or Fel Tattoos for BE since the Legion is now vanquished the leniency towards fel magic might slide just that much. I just wish the tattoo colors worked well. For Orcs, i don't use much tattooing even though I wish i could because the colors kind of clash with the rest of the textures.

Oh and more scars! All the elves live for so long, they don't have near enough scarring options for that kind of wear and tear.

It's not a disingenuous question.

Maghar cant be green because they lack fel corruption and mechagnomes need to obviously have cybernetic enhancements.

So with that in mind its okay for a VOID elf to have zero void features??? The fact that helfers want pure elves in the alliance is irrelevant and shouldn't effect the integrity of the race you're playing. That is blizzard's mistake and it cost awesome new possible void options.

Sure, if you want to pretzel your logic to make sense.

Like we are all talking about model availability and resource eficiency, and you come up with the "but race integrity!?!?" BS

Maghar don't need green skin because the Horde already has Orcs.

Machagnomes don't need non-enhanced bodies because the Alliance already has Gnomes.

Void Elves needed HE options because there was no other feasible way to have HE fantasy on the Alliance.

Your point is WEAK AS HELL!!! if you need to remove the actual context to make it.

[Valandale]

About the only thing Mechagnomes need is the ability to change the metal colorings so they match the heritage armor or more heritage armor colors. That and partial mechanization. It'd be cool for like one mecha arm and one flesh, or just a single mech-eye. Part of that is probably animations and armor mechanics though...

The Alliance never needed HE's in the first place! Pure elves were horde and high elf NPC's should have stayed as NPC's. Voidy Velves should have been the one and only compromise. Hell NB's should have been alliance and Sanlyan should have been Horde.


The fact that you dont care about the integrity really says a lot though. Honestly, just screw the lore and lets have regular undead become paladins with zero explanations as to why, give maghar the ability to be warlocks, make alliance goblins, horde kul tirans, and any other crazy shit you can think of because keeping integrity for the lore is "BS", right? As long as every special snowflake is happy. Cuz that's all that matters.
