Yeah cool, I’m sure that’ll convince them despite not doing it when they were giving velfs their options

Yes, that’s my research. We only have access to public announcements bab. I bet Blizzard carefully monitors and prevents any leaks, so I’m afraid we’ll have to make do with that. I most certainly hope that we’ll be getting our turn soon, because it has now been 3 years since the Legion Allied Races were released. They made Worgen wait a total of about 8 years before giving them their ‘‘overhaul’’, which I consider a crime against the community and hope never happens again. And I sincerely think they don’t have room for such an error with 10 Allied Races having been released. They need to keep up the game with updating them before they get overwhelmed with requests. And from the statement made they seem to be on it as an ongoing project.
In your source they refer to all character customization as ongoing.
They don’t say anything about a specific AR pass. They never have.
I mean I don’t doubt that AR will be given more over time but nothing suggests they’ll be done in their own pass.

Like I said, that’s not at all an indication that they are doing an ar pass specifically, or that it will happen soon. And since void elves got included with the core races it’s up for debate if they need much else any time soon, especially with the inconsistencies in what the core races received.

Sooooo… this thread STILL running?

And full of tons of petitions we all here know devs won´t satisfy -too much resources for this poor wittle indie company-. Frankly before getting unrelated -and irrelevant, sorry NOT sorry- stuff like “Lightforged-esque” stuff or “Undead-esque stuff” (A.K.A. Dark Ranger and/or Sanlayn) or worse, worthless AND pointless stuff like “moar jewerly”, I rather devs AT LEAST put Belves up to par with Nelves in regards to making the characters look like their gamebox iterations (ergo, mere runic scarifications/tattoos and scars for me, tyvm). I´d hate to stay with a less canon appearance by proxy of giving BS avenues for the devs to deviate and ignore the actual artistic work they should be developing, tyvm.
First off I will say that while I understand some of the frustration I’ve seen, and despite them not being terribly eloquent in some posts, I haven’t really seen the antis do anything out of line here, they were just merely expressing their opinion on the actual topic, which they do have a right to.
And despite not agreeing with everything they’ve said, they have actually made some decent points regarding parity, namely the Nightborne, which I support in any capacity 100%.
Fel doesn’t have to be the second theme for Blood Elves. I’d support both Fel and any other secondary theme that could work, again giving them more than Void Elves.
Night Elves are the only other race with DHs and they don’t have Warlocks, nor do any other races really have DH customizations.
Blood Elves do and outside of Quel’thalas have been shown to tamper with Fel, primarily the Sunfury who did have Felbloods among them. The Sunfury have also been reintigrated into Blood Elf society already.
Other races that do have Fel mutated using counterparts such as the Fel Orcs, Feltotem, Felborne, and possibly Eredar and such could also be added as customizations.
I don’t necessarily agree with restricting it to Warlocks as these races have all been shown to consist of other classes.
Even with DHs, fel is not a theme I’d want for night elves as a whole anyway. And fel users are rather taboo in most societies, even the ones with playable warlocks. So I just don’t see the need for fel customization beyond the two classes that use it.
I agree with this unless we’re talking about orcs and blood elves, because the situation for orcs and blood elves is different from other races in that fel orcs and felblood elves are already a part of the Horde and they aren’t just warlocks and demon hunters.

It’s still relatively taboo isn’t it? Orcs and blood elves don’t exactly embrace even warlocks. Like, they exist of course, but aren’t exactly embraced by society, and they work more in secret.
Pretty much this.
It’s a similar situation to Void Elves, who as a people also are infused with a more volatile and were still accepted into the Alliance.
Many of the Fel infused peoples are usually seen as Warriors as well, and sometimes as Rogues, Mages and Rogues.

It’s no longer a “single” anything, when multiple things have already been shared, to the point where being able to tell the difference between the two races has been shrunk down to the few remaining visual themes you’re now trying to clamor for. You got the model, you got the skin, now you got the eyes, but Blood elf players aren’t being generous because we can’t let you have the very last distinctive visual that separates the races?
You can’t keep coming back over and over again with “Just one more thing” under the rational that it’s not very much. If someone has 10 apples and you just want “1” but you come back ten times, you can’t then complain that they aren’t sharing when they don’t want to give you the last apple. The only one being “greedy” at that point is you.

We just want a couple hair colors that is white and blonde. I think people will accept that as compromise as this can finally end.

I don’t see your point.
Are felblood elves and fel orcs embraced by their respective societies? Most likely not. That doesn’t change the fact that both are a part of the Horde and that both aren’t just warlocks.
Not being embraced by society isn’t required to become playable, as Blizzard has shown plenty of times.

You “just” want, but refuse to acknowledge the other things you “just” wanted and got. The more you take, the bigger the role those last few visual themes play in defining those races, so you can no longer sit there and say “We just want this one thing” because it has not been “one thing” since the moment you got void elves in the first place. It’s been “One more thing” to the point where there’s very little if anything significant defining the Blood elves from the void elves at all.
You can ask for whatever you like, but please don’t try to paint a false narrative that you’re the little orphan boy asking for just one bowl, because that’s not the case at all. You got your own bowl, and now you’re trying to eat out of your neighbor’s bowl, and should they say no you then complain about how they’re unwilling to share.

Both Orcs and Blood Elves have accepted rogue Fel users back into their societies as the Sunfury were canonically accepted back to Quel’thalas and we see Orcs with red skin amongst Horde military.
Oh, and people can ask for whatever they want. They don’t have to justify themselves to people who aren’t willing to listen.

I just don’t see the need for multiple classes for either race to get all feled up. Even back when Kael’thas was turning to fel, that was hidden from the elves in Silvermoon, and the felblood elves were enemies.
Then there’s the orcish history with fel, what drinking demon blood did to their people, and the fact that it seems like warlocks have to warlock in secret. It doesn’t make sense to me that non warlocks would be getting fel markings and flaunting a love of demons when the classes that actually work with them are treated with suspicion.
Notice how this is in past tense.
There are felblood elves who aren’t enemies anymore now and they are a part of the Horde.

Because of Horde aligned fel orcs that aren’t warlocks.
No one said they’d be flaunting a love of demons.

I just want Felblood options because I think they look cool. I also want Tattoos, scars, and some original Hairstyles.
I will say that I am willing to share all the horrible jewelry we got with the Void Elves. We got gold and silver they can have them in purple and blue.

I mean, I’m not fully opposed to some felblood customization for both. I just don’t want it as a second visual theme for blood elves, it’s not something the overall culture has ever embraced.
I think accepting a few people back into society is a bit different than it being a whole theme of the race. Ultimately though, I wouldn’t protest if they announced it or anything.

I haven’t seen a single Felblood elf anywhere on the Horde. Yes the Sunfury were accepted back home into Quel’thalas, but that likely only included the elves who were never fully comfortable joining Illidan and the burning legion, unlike the Felbloods who seemed to fully embrace it.
Otherwise I’m sure Blizzard would have shown them in some context within game, and until then we can say that it is within the realm of possibility, but certainly not canon.
