A simple void elf request

Mmm wrong post actually, I didn’t touch the ones your buddies tried to bury. :heart:

Except for having the OP not be one of the HE fans you regularly torment and having her also post about wanting reasonable void customization?

Average hairstyle and colors that every single race, has is not an agenda my guy, you can loosen up the tinfoil.

Blizz actually did this all their own by giving them not only regular skin tones, but blue eyes, they’re giving Void Elves the theme themselves.

If you remember, HE fans wanted an entirely different rig for a HE allied race, so that people like you wouldn’t cry bloody murder about having blood elves stolen.

So lets take a moment to think about who you really should be tormenting. :face_with_hand_over_mouth:

I wish they hadn’t done it this way, but this way of doing it is way more of a compromise than anything else they did previously… Assuming they work on the hair, markings, and hopefully the racial effect of course.

Even without HE customization, it seems like some VE players are interested in different kinds of void. Kind of like how forsaken dont all have to have bones exposed, but they get varying levels of decay or whatever?

And it does at least tie up some loose ends with VE… Because no elf was going to become a VE the way the first set did, but now there are NPCs who arent even VE joining them.

So then do HE fans spamming the same topics equal tormenting all of us then?

That’s an awful accusation to put on people sharing their stances and opinions but it does work both ways. Aren’t the HE community known for incessantly spamming topics, but you’re upset people who don’t agree with you take part in the discussion too?

Nope, you have the complete autonomy over what you decide to click on and read, Blizz even gave you the tool to ignore it every single time, yet you don’t.

You don’t get to blame others for not being able to resist invading elf threads to voice your anti-player discontent.

I’m so tormented by this thread no one forced me to read and I voluntarily decided to enter myself, those damn High Elf fans. :fist: :fist: :fist:

Yeah your issue is opposing opinions. :confused: This isn’t an echo chamber but I do know the HE community hosts a discord for an environment more akin to what you’re looking for.

Fezzy, my man. Rather than get sucked into all this negativity let’s discuss Voidberg.

Would the tentacles move? Because they should definitely writhe a bit imo.

We see the Azshara / Nzoth eyes. More tentacles. Claws. A void effect in the stomach area.

I imagine these types of ideas can be done all together like the mock up represents and or pick and choose, either way a plethora of more void options is great.

My issue is antis pretending their campaign for less customization, is valid because their feelings should take place above content for what could be someone’s favorite race.

When you loose nothing and others gain something, and you still believe they should gain nothing, I don’t know how you can believe you’re in the right. :man_shrugging:

It’s not less customization, don’t worry, it’s more customization.

I wish it wasn’t done this way either as it’s been the most backwards way to handle the entire situation imo. Even for the “Original” Void Elves, the way that they were introduced was really silly. They were Blood Elves, not Alliance High Elves. I think it would have been fine if there were Blood Elves who defected and maybe a few notable “Void Elf” characters who had been Blood Elves, but the entire original group being Belves? Weird from the start.

If they REALLY wanted a Void Elf race from the start, they should have been Alliance Elves. My idea was that they should have been High Elves who were part of the Alliance Expedition to Draenor in Beyond the Dark Portal. And that they were with Turalyon/Alleria this whole time. Studying the Void alongside Alleria in their battle through the Cosmos. That way we would have interacted with them on Argus, they had a High Elf background & it gave us “High Elves.” if they really wanted to go the Void route.

Honestly, i think most people could get over the Void thing if from the start they had regular options. Normal hair style/color options alongside the Void ones. Along with regular & void skins. And of course you could have had some inbetween/hybrid options. I think most people would have been fine with that honestly.

Even the racial tbh. At this point i would just prefer it not cover your entire body in that eyesore. If it looked more like the Orc and Troll racials when they activate, i think that would be fine.

I wouldn’t mind some general purpose tentacles chilling around either tbh.

Or even tentacles with little mouths.

I think Brae recommended pitch black eyes too? I would use them tbh, I use the Void exclusive purple on my priest because I liked the lack of Iris?

I don’t get how they don’t have them already tbh.

It is when you’re ignoring an entire group that wants normal customization as well.

The beauty of it is that both customizations are a thing that’s possible, yet you see fit to put one down cause your agenda is to transform void elves into K’thir out of spite for HE fans.

It’s funny you think anyone believes you genuinely care about void elves in any other different regard. :man_shrugging:

Well, the true compromise is essentially this: we arent going to make you a new race with the story and a zone and hunter pets and all the stuff an AR got (which is a shame honestly), but you can customize your character to play it how you want which was the main idea communicated with customization. Multiple clans of orcs which apparently have all the details required, forsaken get to decide on their level of decay like I mentioned… So this is pretty natural for a compromise, but they have to follow through or it’s a waste.

Probably, but then NB which are NEs would have been an issue. I truly think VE were a “race” pulled out of thin air at the last minute because even Blizz knew NB as a Horde was a big deal since no race has ever flipped before.

I agree. Would have made waaaaay more sense than what was dumped out. I dont know why they presented Alleria and then thought it was a good idea to make VE the way they did. Hence why theres been so much irritation.

I agree, but some players apparently like it so I think it should be a customization option that way everyone wins.

Yeah I’m all for more options but how does prioritizing turning velves into kthir and ethereal yet obsessively hounding after people for a hair color they want seem okay.
And even if people want to look closer to a high elf? Great, if that what makes them happy so be it.

It’s extremely disingenuous, and I’m not typically against anything being suggested.
I mostly just want nightborne to get new stuff since they’re easily the most neglected race.

I wouldn’t hold out hope on this one.

Blizzard doesn’t really do that.

Any hope to make it less or more is probably never going to occur.

I’d like blizzard to actually show the process of making more at this point…

At the very least so there is no question that more can be made.

They absolutely should.

The /talk emote would be glorious.

Would the tummy mouth move too?

Cause I now want that to be a thing.

I would hope the parts shown in Voidberg would be individually selectable.

I know Fenelon here would definitely get that stomach.

And I have ideas for a whole new character for the mouth tentacles and eyes.

Incidentally for the ethereal wrap version too.

I want body tentacles.

I RP this guy with two tentacles on his back.

I dont think anyone on the entire forum wants to stop NB from getting customization, but I also dont see much outside of “make ours like the NPC” either. Bringing up NB is just something that players seem to mention passively, like its an afterthought sadly. Then again maybe I havent been paying much attention since I dont play horde and therefore I dont play NB.

But yeah I am all for NB to get added to, or their model to get turned into the NPC version, or whatever. Just also want to discuss the other stuff as well.

Can female NE get their shovel sized hands and swollen calves looked at as well? Just as a side note.

I wouldn’t say a priority. If you look at my list its just one of many Void Elf options that sit within a voided theme.

Some of us just really really like Voidberg. >.>

Wont lie I know its not for everyone. I just really like him.

I kinda mentioned a bit ago but I’d use the stomach part on this toon alone, and have an entire nother toon in the works if it were to come to pass.

The eyes shown on Voidberg are actually fairly common requests by Void Elf fans as well, claws too.

I also want body tentacles. Though in my mind those would be more akin to the hair ones.

Or better yet a choice between the two.

With customizations being limited as we have seen, I think it’s important to move VEs in the direction of Void options for both VE fans and BE fans wanting distinction.

For me I think I like the current VE skin tones, but would utilize more eye colors like the Nzoth eyes or pitch black eyes.

Some basic things like Lance made that you posted earlier with Void transitioned hair colors, but still Void themed colors.
