World of Warcraftis adding a ton of new demon customization options to the Warlock class soon–but there’s a catch. Though manyWorld of Warcraftplayers are excited about these new options, they now seem to be coming at a cost few Warlock fans are ready to pay.
Recently,World of Warcraftbegan testing Patch 10.1.5, Fractures in Time, on the Public Test Realm. This patch promises to be a big deal for Warlock fans, as it unlocks the class for allWorld of Warcraftraces and allows players to customize their demons at the Barbershop.

However, a recent build of the PTR introduced an unfortunate catch to this new feature. The Glyph of the Observer–a cosmetic that allows players to summon a floating eye demon instead of the hound-like felhunter–will not be supported with the new customization system. According to Blizzard, this change is being made to ensureall the Warlock’s demons inWorld of Warcraftretain a similar silhouette so their function can be easily identified by other players.
This could spell doom for some otherWorld of Warcraftglyphsfor Warlocks as well. Many of the glyphs available to Warlocks simply reskin their demons, but some change them to different creatures altogether. IfWorld of Warcraftwants to preserve the silhouettes of these demons, cosmetics like the Glyph of the Shivarra or the Glyph of the Wrathguard, which completely change the succubus and felguard demons respectively, may also be removed in the future.
World of Warcraftfans are not pleased by this development. In the past, Blizzard has used the preservation of silhouettes as an excuse to avoid adding certain cosmetic options. However, fans pointed out thatHunter pets have dozens of unique models they can tame inWoW, many of which have similar abilities even if they have different models and animations. These fans were hoping these new Warlock changes would add more options to demon customization–and the last thing they want is to have their current options taken away.
Luckily, this change is not live inWorld of Warcraftyet. Blizzard has reverted similar things in the past based on community feedback, so it is not too late for Warlock enthusiasts to make their opinions known on the forum. The rest of theWarlock customizations coming inDragonflightPatch 10.1.5look good, so hopefully,World of Warcraftwalks back this particular decision so players can have even more options to choose from in the future.
