Big Blood Elf Customization Thread

Lol, purples sometimes help but I like to go to older zones just to hangout, fly around, sit, etc. sometimes because I get so sick of Shadowlands and Korthia, plus with as antisocial as I am, I don’t usually run into other people so it’s a win, win situation for me. :yum: :yum: :yum:

I still find it so funny I’ve never run into your character on Proudmoore though I’m only on Alliance, but I used to be Proudmoore Horde :sob:

But on the flip side I’m also someone who can play for 30 mins and be like okay I’m done that was a lot of time I spent doing this and then go distract myself doing something else and come back later. It’s probably no surprise then lmao

Lol, I’m all over the place but if it helps any, more recently with the cross server stuff I see people from Tichondrius in all kinds of different places so us running into one another at some point is by far more likely than not. :hugs: :hugs: :hugs:

Been saying it since MoP XDXD…

I´ll confess my main perfectly reflects my playing policies (and by this I meant that like any “rogue”, unless there´s a reward involved,. I don´t bother with old content).

Fair enough, I can accept this even if it’s not my way of gaming or thinking personally. :wink: :wink: :wink:

I never said it was perfect. I merely point it out as an option because it’s tech that already exists. Not requiring new tech is a plus since that lessens the work involved for the devs. I try to suggest options that are easier/faster to implement since the devs are more likely to do something if it’s “easy”, “quick”, and “cheap” to do.

Imperfect tech.

I´ll sustain my case: unless the changes involve CONSTRUCTIVE development, I´ll keep my low polygon map, tyvm. At the end of the day is not merely about watching slightly less pixelated trees, is about the story that we get with those trees.

Now, I´ve been reviewing like a LOT Henna and Mehndi based stuff (I think I´ve seen so many iterations of a mandala is not funny, my eyes kinda hurt cause while beautiful, the designs are VERY complex). So far, flowers, leaves, birds (more properly a peacock) seem to be the more traditional stuff. I found pretty funny how the hand tattoos are absurdly similar to the current “bracelet” jewerly options given to the female Belves, so time to post images:

I liked this design cause frankly it´d make the “bald” female option worthy to be used:

I like how the traditional art includes the palm on the deal in the case of the hands, giving an overall result more similar to a “glove” than a bracelet (effectively making this something quite unique).

I wonder if Blizzard can commit to something similar to these designs, though. I like the trends on the face at least, very “subtle”.

Wow, someone’s defensive! I said it makes sense in the context of the game as it was before the player base started to drop to what it is now. I don’t believe factions as we know them even have a place in the game anymore now that they are actively hurting the game. You should be proud that you made me realize this. I’ll even invite you to my group if they do get rid of them :black_heart:.

too bad really, i mean look at this for a bit.

I really dislike the “Light” in Blood Elves. How the Light is viewed by Blood Elves is not something that organically came about in Blood Elf society and culture. It is something that was pushed on us.

The Dark Animus could have something greater in a world where the Sunwell isn’t pushing us into this weird light elf that no one asked for.

no clue what youre talking about

i suspect this is about the few mages that are kept on retainer to enchant blood into golems? as i told another ‘high elf’ pro blood elf rogue, how does creating a golem on occasion lead to any societal change that could possibly be reflected in customization?

the sunwell is back, nothing can override that connection(unless you want to be a void elf). especially not creating a golem every now and then

Agreed entirely. The elves weren’t lightforged before and they’re not lightforged now.

Fully support interesting customization like red eyes and monster customization like felblood or San’layn.

0 support from me for light stuff. Which should go to LFD… who actually make sense for in depth light stuff. Not blood elves.

They could literally tie in the Dark Animas with San’layn since it’s all Blood Magic. Making the Red Eyes a canonical feature for ALL Blood Elves.

The “Anima Eyes” concept is one I have been likening a lot lately.

Nope, you pretty much got it all, ty for sharing the T3 magic with me ^^

Uhh? what should I be looking for?

I mean, yes the red eyes look sweet on Kael´thas -and surprise!! he´s not a “hunter”-, what´s the point you are trying to make?

Not the same type of Anima I´m afraid -the devs apparently went back on this-. I think the red eyes can work cause there´s heavy implications in the Throne of Thunder raid linking the pools of Blood and the Dark animus to Ra´den… ergo, making the “kind” of Blood magic the Belves use basically the equivalent to manipulating highly concentrated “arcane blood”.

If regular arcane mutated them, imagine the blood of a Titan watcher.

how nice the updated graphics are.

Well Lilock, considering I literally ignored the graphics of the environment, I think I proved my point? about not caring terribly for “pretty” polygons that ultimately don´t affect my gameplay?

I mean I´m a Hordie, believe me, I don´t precisely care about how pretty a city looks when I´m perfectly fine with Orgrimmar…
