Keep It Simple, Stupid!
It’s very true though. Sure, I’ve thought about it after playing a few games that give you a lot more customizations. Heck, even Lord Of The Rings Online has really great customizations (well… minus the horde… which is kinda lame). But then there’s the other extreme… Like Oblivion or Fallout 3 or Dragon Age… You could spend HOURS sitting there, tweeking every last polygon of your face, hate your class/spec and redo the whole thing over again! Which I have done! I guess you can save before the exit, but meh… And really, when you get an idea in your head on what your guy should look like, there are so many options to tweek, you end up looking like you took a brick to the face and had plastic surgery by a blind doctor! Why there are more than 1000 ways to jut your chin I’ll never know, but it’s at least 990 more than necessary! More options I’d like, not near infinite. I would at least like to see the ability to alter your body type or height.
This week’s cameo is Brimu.

How about some more customization of armor? I don’t mean the ability to color so much as the ability to hide. I’ve hated those shoulder pieces since I was a T.5-wearing hunter in vanilla. >.<
Again, not to compare to LOTRO, but they allow a lot of great things like the ability to hide most of the armor. even shoes and gloves! Though there’s something inorganic about the ability to hide something you’re wearing…
Regardless, I agree with you. Blizz takes such great pride in the shoulder items, yet they tend to be fairly obnoxious looking and chunky.
And even then, since wowclassic, who even tries to get a full set anyways? You might get just enough for the set bonus, but when you do some geeky number crunching, it ends up being a hodge-podge set of misc junk that doesn’t at all go together. It felt even more like this in BC! I know they took great strides to make you want tier in WOTLK with the split tiers with the same look but upgraded stats… But yeah, I think a good number of people will forsake a set bonus for a boost in another stat. So we all end up looking like we’re at a grand ball with tuxedo tops and jeans. XP
im just impressed how blizzard diddent do anything about the totaly messy faces humans and dwarfs both males and females have -_-’ *One of the reasons i diddent go for alliance.
what’s wrong with humans? you know… other than looking like they got hit in the face with a shovel and had their noses fall off from frostbite…
but yeah, even when I was alliance back in the day, I could never play the humans. they all just looked so weird. I think it might be long over due for a graphics update on the alliance!
Speaking of which! When they announced goblins, I thought, “hey, those ones in game are kinda cool, guess they’ll look like that”. but NO! they’re tweeked out with their polygons and graphics and whatnot… so, to me anyways, the new races look strange with their crisp, detailed features (and complex hair styles), while in comparison, the rest of the races look a little drab. I don’t know if they get a graphics update too, but I’m leaning on the side of not so much.
It’s great if you come out with a new set of races, but either up the graphics on the old, or use the same style for the new. Have to keep continuity!
This is something that bothers me greatly with WOTLK and BC (to some extent). The graphics for some things are amazing! Like the new airships and some of the dungeons… but look closer! There’s a horde symbol on the horde airship that’s HORRIBLY pixilated! Like they stretched a 1kb gif file over the whole horde logo! Here, this thing look at it! so bad! Or the room with Lady Deathwhisper… the ground is painted with shadows! virtual shadows! why they didn’t just add a few polygons to make it look nice I will never know… And don’t get me started on vehicle mount UI!!! That is one of the WORST!
it’s the little things ya know… attention to detail…
