Elezen females need new face options

[seida]

We need a beautiful elf race. I suggest copy the Archeage elf.

See, I wouldn't like elezen to look like that. What a lot of people seem to want is Hyurs with pointy ears (as evidenced by the number of people who want to make a character like Hilda....) it seems quite redundant to me.

Of course more facial options would be great (in particular, a bigger variety of jaws or noses etc).

The neck and height are, in my opinon, perfectly fine. That's what makes us unique. BUT I do think the heads should be a bit larger and or/the shoulders a bit narrower, because the proportions are very odd at the moment. I completely avoid some hairstyles because they don't have enough volume and make me look like a pinhead

I miss Night Elves. They had a great variety of faces and were more different from humans than Elezen are (skin tones, eye brows, glowy eyes, man hands and huge ears).

Artwork:


This is the face, hair and markings I used in-game before the models were FUBAR. I had white hair and violet tattoos.


Here's the model change... that jaw could break ice >_<

Please no, i was in love with the idea of night elves when i first read about them, saw the beautiful artwork, and in the CG opening for the game.. actually getting to the game character creator i was sooooo disappointed to see what they actually looked like x.x;; if they had made them look a tenth as good as the artwork or CG i would still be playing WoW but even the recent model updates didn't help much.. actually kind of the opposite they finalized my decision to leave.

Female elezen options are limited, plus the giraffe neck bothers me to high hell, so I jumped ship to a race that doesn't look like Gumby's second cousin.

Nightelves in WC3 look beastial, so I'm not sure what you mean here...

What makes Elezens Elezen is their body, not their pointy face since not all Elezens have pointy face (Alphinaud, Aymeric...), so I don't see why this picture bothers you, if this girl has Elezen proportions (long limbs, broad shoulders, small head), she would still be an Elezen, even if her face is less pointy.

I can accept that there's going to be a lot of the same faces going around in an MMORPG. Elezen heads could be a bit larger though, to be closer to the concept art proportions.

WOW, I've never seen this image before. They look amazing here. I would play an Elezen in a heartbeat if they actually looked like that in game.

I wouldn't mind half elf option to be playable. But only if they can use duskwright skin tones. Otherwise It's meh.

And why can't the faces make what an Elezen is too? You're only saying that because you don't like them. And your examples are weak. Why? Because one is a child and the other a man. The Official art is also a poor example because it shows her face at an angle where you cannot completely identify just how thin the chin/jawline is, which is your issue. Your argument is to even keep the one thing the person you're replying to has issue with, which is the size of the head. So the head size is significant and identifying of a female Elezen but not the shape? What?

This I agree with, I think if they made elezen even a bit more proportionate and added just one "pretty" face option for males they would easily triple the number of people playing them.

I actually love the female elezen I was able to make, but I'll also admit that the moment Viera comes out I'll be making a new character immediately for that very reason

Because they are basically elf-rabbits
Tall, graceful, beautiful, and connected to nature

Honestly I would like to see all the various races updated a bit to be up to snuff with the new races we are getting, because if you compare the original races to the new ones or to the unique characters in the game it quickly gets noticeable how their skills have improved

Au Ra can look as good and unique as the special npc characters for example because they look to have been made with the same kind of techniques

Now with two more races coming out the amount of polish on their models is getting more and more noticeable as the updates are released

It would be a lot of work for them though to go through and tweak all their character models and gear, given what they've said about just the two new races in terms of how it has impacted their workload it would be staggering for them to try and commit anything to revamping all of the old races to better match the new ones I think.. which is unfortunate

I'll probably go Viera but only if they have exotic skin-tones. If I'm stuck with regular human ones it's not worth it. After that I'll go femronso once they're added to the game. I will add they shouldn't have to completely re-do how gear works by tweaking things and adding in new options. They don't need to do a complete model update. Just add options. All the races even Au Ra need more options. Double all their options especially the ones that only have 4 choices like the face, jaw, ear, tail, etc. I think hair is mostly good but more can't hurt. Love more tattoos, and more tattoo colours.
