World of Warcraft Dev Tracker

Thank you for all of your enthusiasm and suggestions so far! It’s been a pleasure for the team to read how passionate you are about the looks of your in-game characters.

We wanted to share a handful of the customization options you’ll be able to choose for male Lightforged Draenei and female Nightborne, some of which have been requests from the community.

Lightforged Draenei New Customization Options

...

Greetings!

Yesterday we announced that after hearing the passionate feedback around our decision to not add additional customization options until after Shadowlands, we’ve decided to implement more options sooner.

The upcoming 9.1.5 update will introduce new character customization options for two Allied Races that didn’t get as much attention as the rest, the Nightborne and Lightforged Draenei. You can look forward to new hair styles, hair colors, facial hair, skin colors, accessories, horns, tail length, tattoos, and more!

After hearing how excited all of you were around the new customization options, we saw that many of your comments were requesting more natural hair colors for Void Elves. We relayed this feedback to the team and they were able to add 5 natural hair color options for Void Elves to the 9.1.5 update.

Hello everyone. Here are a few answers to some of your questions on the upcoming change:

Hello everyone

You bring up a valid point about the conduit upgrade items not being specialization specific. It can be frustrating when you get a conduit for a spec that you may never use.

To address this, we’re working on a change that will go live with next week’s restarts that will allow Soultwining Crescent and Death-Bound Shard to grant conduits based on your current specialization instead of by class. In order to receive the conduits of the spec of your preference, you will need to switch your specialization fully, changing Loot Specialization won’t work.

In addition to this change, we’re increasing the drop rate of Death-Bound Shard when completing Adamant Vaults in Torghast, Tower of the Damned.

Thank you for your feedback!

With hotfixes that will go live during scheduled weekly maintenance this week (tomorrow, August 10 in this region), we will make the following tuning adjustments to many dungeon and raid encounters.

Dungeons and Raids

• Sanctum of Domination
  • Painsmith Raznal
    • A gap now appears in every row of spikes during Stage Two on Mythic difficulty.
    • Health of Painsmith Raznal, Spiked Balls, and Shadowsteel Horrors reduced by 10% on Mythic difficulty.
• Mythic+
  • De Other Side
    • Enraged Spirit’s Rage duration reduced to 5 seconds (was 6 seconds).
  • Halls of Atonement
    • The completion timer has been increased to 32 minutes (was 31 minutes).
    • Echelon
      • Stone Shattering Leap damage reduced by 15% in Mythic and Mythic+ difficulties.
    ...

We’re working on PvP tuning changes that will be applied to the game with weekly maintenance in each region (August 10 in this region). Here’s what to expect:
