Face Customization at Barber Shops in WoD!

FINALLY.

Aside from skin color and gender which is still not an option, pretty much everything aesthetic about your character (minus gender but I'd rather not get THAT flesh-shaping-creepy-scientist-y in-game) is customizable now! No need to pay for a re-customization just to change your facial expression!

It's being discussed in the general "new character models" thread - http://forums.wow-petopia.com/viewtopic ... 20#p513235 :)

I figured it's something big enough to be its own thread-- but if not, then I've no quarrel with someone merging it into that thread~

I'm so pleased to hear about this! It'll really make a huge difference, I was worrying about having to recustomize so many of my characters because I might have liked one of the other new faces better.

I think this is so so so so good as well, it will all but dissolves any issues with people wanting free a "Appearance Change" due to not being happy with how their original facial choice ended up after the WoD upgrades. I'm not sure this is a feature that should necessarily be in the barber shop though, never met a hairstylist I'd trust to also give me a nose job :lol:

Maybe a new NPC that works as a body Illusionist/modifier...? **Puts on best Dr Krastinov's voice** "The Doctor is in" :D
They could just add them in/with the Barber shop and maybe even give this NPC the option to change skin colour... pretty plz? . . . well one can dream :P

Animal races can currently change their skin color at the barber, so I think it's only fair to allow everyone else to. I'm willing to bet that they might just cave and give it to us if the demand is great enough. I really don't see what harm it would do.

It just dawned on me that allowing us to change our faces at the barber might be paving the way for future customization features, such as all new faces and possibly even sub races. Then again I'm likely just reading too much into this and letting my imagination get the best of me. :)

It's the barber shop. I doubt it will be a 1 time thing. :P

This is the best beta news I've heard.

Now if only they'd be smart and make the MC LFR level 90+ instead of 100 :/

This is a tiny bit off topic, but they already said that the anniversary event will last well into January, giving people plenty of time to level up. Hell, they're waiting until December to even open Highmaul, the first raid of the expansion.

That's plenty of time, even if you've got a few alts, especially given that leveling this go round seems faster and easier than ever.

Maybe for you. Not for me. I shouldn't feel rushed to run through the new content to celebrate the LAST ten years.

I'm in agreement with you, Myzou. I've been peeved since the announcement but they're going to be adamant about it, I know, as they generally always are, so I've not even bothered to really talk about it. Guaranteed mount at the end of the run though which is nice but it would still be nice not to have that pressure in the back of my mind to get to 100 and join a successful raid in time.

Back to the barber shop though...

Don't forget the unique companion pet that's a random drop from the bosses. Something I'm sure wiill take many many runs to get.

Oh, this is wonderful news! I actually like my Nelf hunter's old model face far more than her updated one, which I loathe. For some reason they made the updated version (on current 6.0.2 PTR) wider, more pudgy, and jaw bigger, which makes no sense to me as the original was a very slim face without any prominent features. I wouldn't have asked for a free appearance change, but it's good to know that I will be able to change it in game :)

I never thought something like this would be an issue for me, but I actually HATE the updated face enough to pay real money to change it >_< With that said, my Nelf druid's updated face is quite nice and I like it a lot more than the old model.
