Blood Elf Customization Thread (Glory of the Sin'dorei)

[Soulebreaker-hyjal]

It’d be too much work too to redo those areas to make them non-faction or race specific. It’s always best to have areas like Dalaran and Valdrakken that are always neutral.

[Skycaller-wyrmrest-accord]

I don’t even think it would be too much work, just that the factions are core to wow and having them not matter at all would be bad for the game.
Keep in mind that I’m not saying that the factions should not be able to play together or that there should be all out faction war. Just that they keep the faction flavor by having some faction-specific areas like cities and quests while allowing cross-faction play in neutral areas and instanced/high-end content.

[Soulebreaker-hyjal]

You have to figure a lot of those questlines for races or factions are pretty long. There wouldn’t be a way for that to not feel weird for someone not of that race or faction. So they’d have to create new questlines.

I just feel like it’s so much easier to create newer areas for that.

[Millkette-hyjal]

Id be for newer areas.

@Eviaeline-area-52

And some areas in the Ghostlands overlaps with areas in the Easter Plaguelands. Like Deatholme and Stratholme occupy the same physical space.

That doesn’t make sense… The Blood Elf zones are in the Outland Map not on Azeroth. They don’t take up any space of the other.

@Eviaeline-area-52

It might seem like a simple thing to do, but the geography doesn’t match up at all. Blizzard would have to redesign nearly all of Lordaeron from scratch. Tirisfal, Wester/Eastern Plaguelands, Hinterlands, Alterac, Hillsbrad, and Arathi Highlands would all need a minor or total redesign from scratch. Because the northern zones are far above the sea level. While Quel’Thalas is at sea level

Honestly if this is actually true, which I’ve never really seen any dev mentions of directly though I’m sure they exist, its not that big a deal… They can modify the map easily enough. The transition from EP to the Ghostlands could easily just have a steep winding path down to near sea level and have the land slope from there to where it hits sea. This seems like at best a matter of Blizzard not wanting to do the effort rather than them not being able to.

Likely their only bar is their willingness to devote dev time.

If so then the entire point of wanting to request that is to convince them to use that time.

@Evolseed-dawnbringer

Where’s the link for Mechagnomes & customizations?

You can find it at the bottom of the Main Post under Additional Threads! But here is the link!

Mechagnome Customization Thread

[image] [image] This thread is for those who want to talk about Mechagnomes and the customizations they’d like to see with them. Please note that I do not expect all or even any of these to come to fruition. They are desires and wants, that I’ve mostly pulled from the community, nothing more. Feel free to tell us what customizations you too would like to see! Drede has put together a wonderful thread…

@Velxas-frostmourne

The Silvermoon warfront, or even if there ever was going to be one, being scrapped because they couldn’t update the zone unfortunately doesn’t have any real evidence to support it. You’re likely referencing that list that showed random mentions of possible warfronts, which included Mulgore and even Bilgewater. They later said it was just ideas of early BfA alpha that they considered at one point.

A pity really…

The armor and weapon sets would have been glorious.

And it would have very definitely been one of the Warfronts the Horde won too.

@Velxas-frostmourne

That being all said, I personally don’t have an issue if the zone was still only accessible by portal or otherwise, as long as it was updated. If they can’t attach it, then at least update everything there with the material from Suramar but edited. If Silvermoon had flight, I’m almost certain it would become more used (heck I would use it more for sure).

Hopefully adding in flying too…

@Locûtus-kelthuzad

Interesting! Personally, my personal gripes for the Blood Elves (and Void Elves) is that well… both their female model limbs look like twigs.

But more customization is always fine. Probably a win for male models.

Body types would be a welcome addition!

@Attimis-moon-guard

There is no such thing.

Doesn’t exist. Gone. Ignored.

Look above.

-Oh! and below!

@Breadisfunny-turalyon

i approve of this thread 111%

Thank you!

@Magnarok-amanthul

Oh my god, this would be a dream!

I’ve literally had dreams about it only to be disappointed. Somand did really good work.

@Ayukama-frostmourne

And no, I do not want the Void Elves to take Silvermoon, or Silvermoon to be an Alliance city. But if Blizzard is working towards removing a lot of faction restrictions away, I would like to see every capital city become neutral. As well as Quel’thalas being updated so we can have it fully connected with the rest of the world, and able to fly in Quel’thalas.

That could be fun!

@Xoroth-crushridge

Part of the reason why I want san’layn and fel blood is because they would bring a strong theme and identity to the belves.

Also there is the fact that I think they are super cool.

This! Thats one reason I want the Felblood and San’layn for the Horde as well represented through additional Blood Elf customizations or their own Allied Races.

@Rosenivy-area-52

I’m still mad those didn’t make it live

I don’t care for the jewelry but I cannot at all see why they didn’t… maddening since we got little either way.

@Millkette-hyjal

Id be for newer areas.

As part of the remake of Quel’thalas I want to see a revamp to the Amani as well and see them kinda come into the Horde through a new leader.

Add in the Amani Woodlands.

[Ayukama-frostmourne]

@Kyuu-bronzebeard

I want to see a revamp to the Amani as well and see them kinda come into the Horde through a new leader.

I actually disagree with this idea. Mostly because of:

• The Horde is now more like a council, which also includes the Reagent Lord helping run things with the Horde, along with other leaders from other Horde races
• The Amani Trolls are enemies of the Blood Elves.

Though it isn’t a bad idea, but I actually do disagree with the idea.

[Soulebreaker-hyjal]

I think if the Aspects can come to amends with the Dragonmaw, we can with the Amani. The Amani have been the story’s punching bag for a long time. And the way the story works out, Zul’jin was a victim of us. And their lands were taken over by us. It makes me feel bad how many Ls trolls have taken. Especially since they are our ancestors.

There’s gotta be room in there for amends.

And I also hate the council. Because it’s non-existant. Thrall is still really the Warchief without the title. Just make it official and be done with it.

[Zandrae-wyrmrest-accord (Zandrae)]

I posted these the other day on the LGBT mega thread discord. Examples of hairstyles.

And freckles.

[Taethelan-malganis]

Signed for Blood Elf Druids. Also can male blood elves please get full beards?

[Primarch-icecrown]

They just need more options that make them stand out from the blue team look-alike elves. Stuff that will NEVER be shared between them.

Thats entirely fine!

Honestly the more likely option for Forest Trolls is the Revantusk. Though I still would want to see the new zone even if the Amani remain hostile.

@Soulebreaker-hyjal

I do think there is as well.

@Zandrae-wyrmrest-accord

Not a bad look!

I’d kill for some good dreadlocks…

{edit}
To answer your alts question in the old Blood Elf thread, a new one was made because I grew weary of the ideas and concepts being lost in the myriad of posts. Your inability due to the oddities of the TL system (clearly not your fault) that kept you from being able to make a very well built out and picture ridden main post led to things being lost over time. So since I still retain my TL3 ability to keep up additions of new pictures and content I created my own.

@Taethelan-malganis

I’d also kill for full beards… lol

@Primarch-icecrown

I’m sure there is room for both Blood Elves and Void Elves to get their own unique items that are not shared!

Was also outdated and hardly used imo partly bcz the lack of an inspired OP didn’t keep the convo going during various times. Where as this OP can spark convo even if some of us take breaks or what have you.

Sort of like the VE thread you also have up.

[Avarie-farstriders]

I’ve been mega depressed and struggling with art because of it, but maybe I’ll try to make some images of braided styles and other styles that I’d like to see.

[Ayukama-frostmourne]

Maybe I should learn how to draw more than stick figures. I’m terrible at artwork…

Maybe I need to hide in my box

[Soulebreaker-hyjal]

I hope your depression passes. The brain can be a jerk.

Yet you didn’t include the list I had kept or a link to that thread and instead posted a link to a dude known for gatekeeping belf customization options, and posted a link to a discord run by someone who spewed transphobic rhetoric at me.

Rubs chin.

[Avarie-farstriders]

I wouldn’t even call myself a good artist, not at the moment anyway. I do feel like anyone can learn though. That’s probably why I haven’t given up.

@Soulebreaker-hyjal

Thanks, me too. Brains are really dumb sometimes.

@Zandrae-wyrmrest-accord

By all means bring it by! Be quite happy to integrate it in. All Blood Elf thoughts and desires are welcome here!

@Zandrae-wyrmrest-accord

link to that thread and instead posted a link to a dude known for gatekeeping belf customization options,

I posted a link to the last existent High Elf Thread. I have actually since removed it as of last night since its pretty much not been used in a long while.

The old thread is among the links at the bottom of the main post. Its been on that list for literal years.

@Zandrae-wyrmrest-accord

and posted a link to a discord run by someone who spewed transphobic rhetoric at me.

To my knowledge it was [Redacted] who did that was it not? The Blood Elf discord to my knowledge is run by someone else.

[Lannislight-wyrmrest-accord]

@Zandrae-wyrmrest-accord

Yet you didn’t include the list I had kept

You didn’t even have the list you kept in the main post of the last thread. Nor did you upkeep the thread and it was outdated / not used. Like be serious. The list you’re upset about not being in this main post wasn’t even in your main post.

It’s shouldn’t be an issue someone else came by w actual art examples and ideas to compile in a more current main post.

[Drede-cairne (Drede)]

There’s also this one.

Should have come out in TBC because it was on the dang box IMO. This was was false advertising.
