They absolutely will do this. Countless topics over half a decade and with every step they come closer.

Then I guess you should have rolled a Blood Elf?
Complaining about something like this that only happens in combat is pretty ridiculous. It’s not like Corruption where the only way to get rid of the cosmetic effect (that showed on your character constantly) was to have a certain amount.

Especially when everyone can cancel the effect instantly with a macro.
People should use this instead making new topics every time.
To be fair, that’s a rather decent chunk of dps you’d lose.
My racial makes up anywhere from 1-3% of my dps in a fight, depending on length, timing of the embrace procs with hero/cds, etc.
I’m torn as on one hand I want Blizzard to embrace the void aspect more, but on the other hand - I want more player choice. Giving us the option to not have it proc randomly wouldn’t hurt anyone - if it’s as non-noticeable as you guys act, it wouldn’t matter if they could disable it.
I’d never disable it, as I love it and wish I could have it perma, but I understand people who might want to.

Wait…you can just /cancelaura it? lol…
That’s good. The more people use the /cancel aura macro, the more is Blizzard forced to recognize the issue and act upon it.
They are still indebted in their unprofessional choice in not giving the Alliance the High Elves in the first place. I feel sorry for the Void Elf-fans… but they were only a mere afterthought in the first place as a low priority player facton which is the actual tragic part here.
And because they dug themselves too deep into this mess, the developers cannot do anything but stay on course with the Void Elves. I do not think they will release a glyph for the Entropic Embrace effect, they barely can keep up bringing in new Shaman wolf forms and lock them behind a limited usage Ardenweald skill.
Yes. Credits goes to Fenelon, who came up with it, apparently.
Honestly, I wish the racial could be toggle, so you can trigger it at better times instead of having it proc then you’re stunned when it procs.
That would be so hard to balance though lol.
If any race had a +5% damage/healing activatable racial, it’d probably be top for every class.
Nobody asked for Void Elves. Like. Ever.
Blizzard should give people all the options they want so they don’t have to deal with their crappy written-in-3-minutes concept.
Yeah, I guess you really can say anything to fit your agenda.
I’m all for more options as long as they’re strong thematically. This sounds like it would be a good thing. However, I am against giving Void Elves Blood Elf options, because that doesn’t make sense and isn’t a strong thematic choice.
Blizzard really messed up with the Void Elves in general, but giving them Blood Elf options made things substantially worse.

lol
People say this as if it matters in the slightest. If the devs only ever gave people “what they asked for” we’d be playing nothing but elves. No thanks.

No.
You’re a Void Elf. You go Void from time to time. If you don’t want to be a Void Elf, then the Horde is waiting for you.
… it lasts seconds. Only in combat. If you’re paying more attention to your character and mog while in combat, I feel sorry for your dungeon and raid groups.

what like 20 people on the forum like yourself wanted was a retcon to the lore
you only got blood elf skin tones because blizzard wanted to update the blood elves to where they should be in the lore now and felt sorry for people who just couldnt cope with the fact that in warcraft the fair skinned elves are friends with orcs and trolls instead of humans. if they didnt give blood elves their blue eyes back you never would have gotten the skin tones

You are a void elf and not what you helfers call a high elf.
Just stop trying to destroy the completed identity of void elvess and watering down of blood elves by taking everything that they have.

Yeah they gave you all that stuff to shut you all up but you all won’t be happy until you completely remove the identity of blood elves and pressure Blizz into renaming void elves to high elves.
Blizz gave you and inch and you won’t be happy until you get a mile.

Silver Covenant is a very strong choice and part of the overall storyline for the Alliance. From all the allies the Alliance has… they are permanently brought back in almost every expansion.
It was the first step into the right direction. Should have been simply High Elves, instead we have now daily topics about the Void Elves and how almost everyone wants to play an actual High Elf instead a cheap knock off which only encourages the other side to harass the Alliance-players. Not good.

Isn’t that basically a symptom of being a void elf?
Embrace it!

I love the effect on all my characters, I’d love it more if there was even more voidy things coming out of us. Like tentacles.
But I’d be up for a Race glyph
like something that changes the visuals to a bit more arcany look for the “High Elf players”
Exactly…
If you really pay that much attention to your Characters look during combat you are doing something wrong.
It is the same for Dracthyr and their Visage imho 
But that is off topic

They definitely should add a toggle because the visual effect seems bugged and doesn’t look like it will ever get fixed
For one thing sometimes your character just stays blue for long after it expires. Also if your character is wearing something like Warbear Woolies or a similar item, your character’s underwear becomes visible during Entropic Embrace

Don’t forget the race name change. Wouldn’t be complete without it. And new voice overs.
On second thought, just give them an exclusive High Elf race.
