You ask for total remodeling of the character model, that is a reasonable customization request.
Nor was warlocks for many years, luckily they were secluded to their own little basement in Stormwind, hidden away from the public eye and blizz developers made a note of how warlocks were generally unwelcome.
I do not like the lightforged ideas, no.
As I already mentioned for customization options.
A toggle to remove the eye-glow and natural human-like eyes underneath to show, that is in accordance with lore.
Warpaints and tattooes, obviously, as well as the runic patterns we see on the elven male on the TBC box - granted if you have not purchased a World of Warcraft expansion before everything became digital you may never have noticed that.
And give some proper facial hair and the same treatment as orcs, where one can seperate and mix different parts of the facial hair, as well as add scars regardless of face option.
Is red eyes, red colored runic scarifications / tattoos and red colored Warpaint “a total remodeling of the playable character model?”
Cause the only thing I´ve said is that Blood Magic can be used to justify OTHER players´petitions like the Felblood stuff as a less cringe explanation, nothing different. Personally I just want these tattoos and the red color option as far as Blood Magic is concerned, but I won´t rain in any other Belf fan parade if they see this idea as a vehicle to get their desired extravagant stuff, period.
I feel it would be less aggravating and risky than literally implementing Felblood fellas for the lols, for example. After all, customizations are meant to be nothing but RP tools, and at the end the Felbloods are still deader than dead and Normal Haired pink skinned Velves are still well… Velves, period.
Same in Silvermoon and Orgrimmar dude.
Which lore?
Cause thanks but no thanks, not interested in getting Human eyes just for people to start with the “BeLvEs DoN´t BeLoNg In ThE hUrDe, MUH NeuTrAl SiLvErMoOn NAOW!!!” BS, tyvm.
the Belves have consistently portray a more magical oriented feel, if someone deserves to get their eyes diluted to Human standards those are the Velves for their desired Helfer RP experience (also, Helves are the ones happily making hybrids with humans, NOT Belves).
Lor’themar was described as having dark brown eyes
Tides of Darkness
Sylvanas in her BFA power point presentation or “cinematic” where she slid right into Arthas’ blade, clearly have natural human-like eyes and no glow.
The High Elven nation of Quel’thalas have always been uber-magical with rangers as the main bulk of military, and Blood Elven society is no less different.
Hardly.
If anything the Void should have done more in regards to mutations. Just a shame blizzard did not put emphasis on the void in their customizations for void elves, and instead elected to remove the emphasis on the ‘void’ in ‘void elf’.
We will have to agree to disagree, cause those novels´ lore was never backed up by the actual design of the elves in this game. And i rather not give more ammo to the Helfer crowd getting something nobody asked sans you, period.
My dear, the ones controlling and managing the nation were never the Farstriders. they were indeed as you put it, the valuable cannon fodder.
Guess which ones were the actual Bosses? Yup the Convocation of Silvermoon a.k.a. the MAGISTERS. As in, magically oriented.
Totally agree, but sadly this is NOT the course Blizzard decided to take.
also, the NPCs who used to have no mgical glow where the Helf ones, not the Belves. so let them get that, let us keep our glow tyvm.
As i said. Total disagreement from my part, feel free to ask but don´t expect support from my corner for any more lazy to the billion degree customization stuff.
Sure? cause this:
Seem to imply Helves should get the "more magical looks for… being High Elves? And while Belves are NO different, they should get the watered down version for… reasons you never posted?
No, what you wrote implies that Blood Elves are more magically oriented than they were as High Elves, which is not true, and you continued the wrong train of thought and in a quite partronising manner, despite you having no reason to be patronising whatsoever with the clear ineptitude and obvious lack of overall lore you seem to portray.
I can stand arrogance when someone has something to hold it in, but you absolutely lack any.
And as a lost note, I never supported High Elf customization for Void Elves nor do I support introducing them as an allied race. For as long as Blood Elves exist, High Elves as an allied race is redundant, and the Void Elves should simply be fixed as Void Elves.
So I have no idea why in the world you would think that I would somehow only leave magical looks for High Elves. The total sillyness.
'tis lore-correct and reasonable asks. Do you honestly think it is reasonable and even realistic to request customization options that have total model-shifts.
All of which I have requested already, is in accordance with lore as I have shown, it is realistically plausible, it is far more obvious than just jewelry on the body
Cause they are. Look at the lore, the “Alliance” aligned remanents of the High elf nation literally put their foot down for stuff like Fire oriented magic, Fel magic and similar err… “questionable” magic.
Belves took that figurative additional step the Helves refused to take. Ergo yes, they are “more magically oriented”, they literally are the race that enchant brooms to clean their city´s streets.
I don´t see High elf NPCs going this far. Up until Legion with the introduction of the Nightborne we got to see another extremely culturally affined and dependant on magical proficiency elf race.
Says the poster STILL trying to support his point about “less magical eyes cause reasons” -no, Farstriders aren´t the only metric to evaluate the Belf race. Less so when more recent lore explicitly says their eyes glow with tyhe effects of the magic* like Lor´s short story or “Blood of the Highborne”.
Just because Blood Elves also dabble in another aspect of arcane magic does not make them more magically inclined than they were as High Elves, that is just silly.
Of course not, High Elves are an afterthought, they were never supposed to exist because the Blood Elves are the High Elves.
And how many “farstrider” customization do you see in the first place… oh, non? Good then, I think it is time.
It does… but that still does not mean that they do not have natural human-like eyes underneath, the ability to switch it off and on should be a thing.
Look dude, not my fault. when a race supposedly “magically oriented” deliberately handicaps themselves in research for that same “magical practicioning”, then yes, they become less magically inclined.
Look at the Nelves. Aszhara questing has them portrayed as “rookie level” literally because the refusal to practice arcane made their mages obsolete. It does happen.
Tell that to Helfers angry cause just now they realized their “customization pass” may very well involve only reused Belf stuff.
And why should Farstrider take precedent over Magister? as far as I´m concerned, both are equally important.
lore doesn´t suppor this “should bhe a thing”. lore pretty much says their eyes are still the equivalent to a lightbulb, period.
Shocker.
Not practicing arcane magic makes you an inept mage.
I have and I am well aware.
It doesn’t, as mentioned, i suggested warpaints and tattooes, and rune-tattooes.
That is where you are wrong, it most certainly does as I have already shown. Yes, their eyes glow up and they did and do for some even as High Elves, but as blizzard is insistent on showing, not everyone’s does… as seen with Sylvanas.
It is lazyness on blizzard’s part to not give the variation.
Don´t killthe messenger, man. Not my fault Blizzard arbitrarily ran with this.
And most Helf groups sans Dalaran affiliated ones, ARE basically made by less magically inclined Rangers (heck, Highvale apparently pretty much decided to ignore Arcane in their lives).
… Sylvanas eyes glow. Like,compare her eyes with Anduin´s ffs.
Laziness is Blizzard´s main, middle and last name.
Less chunky necklaces in general. I wish with all my might rings and necklaces showed up on our characters like in that other MMO that does transmog like the gods
Couldn’t agree more. Void Elves should’ve had a bunch of options to really play on the void aspect of their birth. Sha skin tears, void mutations, spikes, tentacles… ugh such a missed opportunity that has now just ended up as a BE clone.
The Blood Elves are the most played Horde race, right? You’d think they’d prioritize giving blood elves some real like, diverse and cool options for customization. Then again, it might be triage for Blizzard. ‘What races desperately need customization more than blood elves right now because they already look great’
I mean let’s face it, nightborne and highmountain tauren were rough. That said, I do believe blood elves should come next, just because of how much attention Void elves have been given. It’s only fair. The problem is that what do you do to even the odds? Do you lean harder in the light-enhanced angle? Besides Dark Ranger, which is a valid choice, I’m not sure what else they can do for Blood elves beyond like regal jewelry, incredibly unique hairstyles that only a aristocrat or ancient and noble order of Elves would wear. It would be cool if they could get like magical jewelry that glows, like Light or arcane bracelets or necklaces that glow.
I wholeheartedly agree. I’ve always said Nightborne needed love way before Blood Elves did and I’m so happy they’re getting the attention they deserve. My mains are Blood Elves, Nightborne, goblin and undead. I love the aristocracy is the former two, and the chaos and hijinks of the latter. I can’t wait to see the full list when it comes out in PTR next week.
That being said, Blood Elves seem like they’re only there to take assets from, and not give. Jewelry and eye colour is not enough.
