People have also suggesting giving fel orc skins to orcs, but locking shaman out of selecting them.

That sounds like about as much work as giving Forsaken the belf rig. The only reason to do it that way over Forsaken is the non-existent Dev time.
Just came here to say I miss red eyes for BE. tyvm
I would like some please!

Iâd like to but my in-laws took the remainder. T-T
Well now I am sad. That sounds so good though!
They said that only priest and paladins NPCs would have golden eyes, (barring special circumstances) but that anyone can choose for their elf to be a follower of the light, and therefore purified by the Sunwell. This is likely why the narrator mentions the cultural shift the blood elves have made toward the light when you create one.
After all, Itâs not like a lightforged donât also have access to the hunter, warrior, or mage classes simply because they donât coincide with the light.

On this note, why canât our Lightforged hunters shoot Light arrows like the Lightforged NPC hunters do?

Sunwell doesnÂŽt âlightforgeâ per se the elves⊠Blizz basically said players could headcanon as much as they wanted, but this is far from reality.
Golden/blue/green eyes are available as what they are: cosmetic perk for the playable model regardless of the lore, period.
The gold eyes are a result of channelling the Light if memory serves. One can assume a mage or rogue for example with gold eyes is devout, but doesnât wield the Light like a priest or paladin.
No, it does - they specifically say in the interview that if a player wishes for their elf to be purified by the light, and receive golden eyes - that option is open to them. If it were purely a headcanon thing, they would have just said any player can use it, and not bother with explaining the lore behind it at all.
Blue is really the only eye color that hasnât gotten any lore explanation behind it, and was gonna just tossed in.
Oh it was. Made two batches and one of my test subj- I mean in-laws ate ten tacos.
Iâm quite happy with the results. Likely to make another batch in a week though. Lol

Indeed, but gameplay wise they arenŽt restricted to Pally and Priest class simply because there are players -that DONŽT RP nor care over the lore like⊠at all- that simply like how the eyes look on their toons, period.
It is a basic design move, nothing more and nothing less.
Err they kinda said this. Devs mentioned only Belves with a profound worship and devotion to the Light would develop the Golden eyes in canon -ergo why as Somand mentioned it, only some pally/priest NPCs would get the eyes in the model-; but they would let the option available with no class restriction to the players.
Blue and Golden are the same, both exist in the Sunwell⊠ergo both can âappearâ on the Belf depending on his/her piety (switch to golden eyes) and/or involvement with QuelÂŽthalas post TBC times (switch to blue if they werenÂŽt around the Fel infused crystals or didnÂŽt feed on crystals too much before the Sunwell was reignited).

Youâre right, and Iâm actually guilty of this myself. I use them on my fire mage because theyâre the eyes that look the fieriest.

They didnât though, in the interview they specifically ask this question - that if the golden eyes were canonical for players, or were just being given to them, to which they reply âWhen Aveena sacrificed herself to save the Sunwell, thatâs what caused the blood elves to lose their fel glow, and receive golden eyes.â then later he adds that the gold eyes will be available to all because thats where the Blood elf story says they should be, but that if players wanted to keep their green eyes, that too would be available to them.
This implies that golden eyes are not something contained to small groups like paladins and priests, but widespread for everyone, the âchoiceâ is just up to the player. Priests and Paladins were simply mentioned because that group of NPCs are likely to be the most effected by it. This is much different than offering something for headcanon purposes, to which the answer would have likely had nothing to do with lore at all.
There is one option that looks particularly orangey.
But the line between âgoldenâ and âorangeâ can be paper thin at times.

what is the floor below the ring of transference in oribos? you can see it when you jump in the maw or look over the edge. it has dragons/other dragon-winged creatures of some kind. you can see players running around in it
Hey I just killed you in IoC while you were trying to cap docks

I guess my damage was unbearable
And we just won the BG after you guys knocked our gate down before we knocked yours down Horde power
Wait⊠Horde won an IoC?
Is this an alternate timeline?
No, you cap hangar and workshop and kill glaives.
If you do that youâll win every time.
It was a neck and neck win this time which it usually isnât, I even screenshot the win.
