    Looks better to me, but I do hope they have some more customization coming for eyes.

    This is just the first step, removing the glowing orbs floating in front of the eyes and adjusting the textures of the eyes themselves.

    They mentioned during the Shadowlands panels that they have new tech to display light shining through stained glass. I'm betting this will be a similar implementation.

    As we discussed at BlizzCon, we are bringing many new customization options to player-characters in Shadowlands, and this is an early step that we’re taking to lay groundwork for updating this particular look.

    We expect to update brightly-glowing eyes further in future builds of the Visions of N’Zoth PTR.

    Thank you for your testing and feedback!
    If this means getting rid of those stupid little 2d glow meshes that constantly clip into the facial areas surrounding the eye, then I am 100% on board this train.
    Appreciate your time with friends and family while they're here. Don't wait until they're gone to tell them what they mean to you.

    We'll have to see what path they take with them.
    For Night Elves, it prolly could just be an emissive material on their eyes. For DKs, it could be more sophisticated than just the circa 2004s headlights they have now.

    I hope they make it a little brighter. It's too dim to the point it doesn't even look like it's glowing. Adding a wispy effect to the eyes so they look more like the Lich King's would be cool too.

    I'll take the bet if you never post again when you're wrong.

    ITT: People don't read the blue post, particular the last sentance, and instead focus on the image.

    i logged in to see it myself. i think i see what they're going to go with, it'll be cool if my assumption is right.

    i just hope it winds up being better than a stupid orb of light floating above the eyes like it has been for 15 years.

    I like this change myself as I’ve always found the super-bright blue eyes to look a little silly. I like this new subdued version much better. Just my humble opinion; your mileage may vary.
    Don’t ask me to explain my idiocy; I’m in my early 40’s and still don’t understand it myself.

    They've had a bright light in front of their eyes for years, wouldn't you squint?

    For the Night Elves, they should probably just get rid of the lamps in front of their eyes and just make their eye texture itself emissive.
    Like Allerias eyes, they look great and glowy without actually glowing.

    Looks incomplete. But in general I like the idea.

    The original effect was bad.

    Oh lord. Fucking it up.

    I don't like the current look. DK eyes should look almost exactly like DH eyes but blue.
