Blue Eyes for Blood Elves

But we are left to assume one can be dominant given the fact they have a ongoing narrative setting up Holy magic a certain way.

And I can see this argument but I still feel like the precedent supporting Holy Magic being more invasive in terms of influencing people is now set.

They say Blood Elves have 40 customizations coming?
We could get undead skins for the dark ranger look, 10 female, 10 male, thats 20 right there.
Jewelry lets say 5 and 5 for each, thats another 10 now were at 30.
Currently male only has 3 golden eye options for faces, I’m assuming female is the same? Lets say 5 and 5 each thats all 40 customizations right there.

I don’t think Blue eyed BE’s are a work in progress I think Holy has been set up as a sort of weed, and they set the precedent with how they introduced Holy by itself with no blue eyes showing that arcane is as much of a force influencing people as anything else.

If anything I feel like holy and arcane are equal to tap into, but as far as actively influence its users Holy is like an entity with an agenda.

It’s not unreal to believe Light to be fundamentally stronger than Arcane, the cosmic chart even shows this.

Well it was shown as unable to counter the effects of the Scourge in Wrath, so why would it be more effective on fel?

Stars are light. They are blue. Also arcane.

All is one in the light.

If this is true then the high elves eyes will turn golden and you’ll lose blue… High elves are tied to the Sunwell just as Blood Elves are.

Right, like when Tirion did a tiny prayer to the light and straight up shattered Frostmourne in one-hit at the peak of the biggest source of Unholy magic in Northerned.

Light is weak tho.

But the sunwell is not the same as it was. And there was never an indication that those gold eyes are for light-adept elves only.

Blood elves are blood elves, that’s the name they chose and high elves stayed as such.

Holy is turning the BE eyes from the Fel Tint. Yet some keep it.

I would say HE’s would have some using the same Holy eyes as well yes, but some would also retain their Blue Eyes.

Lol the race was done and you were still in the change room looking for your lucky gym shorts. That’s how behind you were.

Absolutely, if the people who have been asking for it for ever can’t have, then why should the people that don’t need it have it? it’s extremely dismissive and rude to ignore not only requests but complains of thousands of players who have been asking for high elves since the beggining and just give them to the horde because “lore”.

If you want further explanation on my point, I’d like to refer you to my first answer:

Lore wise, it is possible for them to have blue eyes once again, however, I still think it would be extremely petty coming from Blizzard to give the Blood Elves blue eyes. They know how much alliance players want high elves, it’s been discussed for ever, and even if they gave the Blood elves blue eyes, it would still be leaving high elves out of the picture since they would be Sin’'dorei whose eye colour just changed eventually because of the manipulation of the arcane magic present in the Sunwell.
I still think they are going to say f* it and give it to them so they can drink pro helfers tears, like they always have

You know what they say about assuming?

Right now we are told basically that the powers are in balance, and that in lore, those that get the golden eyes are the ones who immerse themselves in the power of the light such as priests and paladins.

And Crusader Bridenbrad? You know, who all that could be done for was to shepherd his soul into the light after he died. Tirion just was able to break an artifact, not cleanse Arthas of undeath.

Stare at the sunwell and let it absorb the yellow from your green fel eyes, what color is left? :wink:

Other than where it was said players could choose it freely because why not, but that for NPCs it was more of a sign of a devotion to the light?

So you’re comparing the process of Undeath versus Arcane influence.

Okay Tarrok. :rofl:

Do you notice my Holy Golden eyes? I was a mere scholarly type studying to be a Priest, when I took up my true passion of a being a Warlock in the service of the Dark Lady!

My eyes remain however… Golden and pure as my intentions :yellow_heart:

But an eye color has nothing to do with high elves being high elves.

Giving it to blood elves makes lore sense just as much as high elves after 8 years with a purified sunwell.

Both groups should have it. (and any other colors except - maybe–green.)
