my gnome now runs like a toddler. its adorable but its not an adult. kinda bugs me. the original gnome run looked like a short adult. so i have a choice between girls that run like guys, girls that have hands so big they might as well be guys, and babies. haha
they did pretty good with female nightborne, though. hands still too big, but at least smaller.
Helfers: As long as we get what we want itâs a compromise since weâre not giving you anything and taking the rest! Thatâs fair!
Blizzard and everyone else: https://i.kym-cdn.com/entries/icons/original/000/028/596/dsmGaKWMeHXe9QuJtq_ys30PNfTGnMsRuHuo_MUzGCg.jpg
I mean, it was really blizz just going âhey wouldnât this be cool!â and not some conspiracy to placate the pro ally players. Probably why they pulled the trigger on blue eyes and the like, theyâre already moving on.
we should start a go fund me where we ask for donations to hire a 3d model artist to make several variant high elves, that arent a duplicate of blood elves, cause everybody knows thats possible. this current set up is more like abusing your customer.
The thing you wonât bring yourself to understand is that being the same race means theyâd have the same models and options.
Blizzard isnât going to go âok well this one part just gets different model cause they disagree politically.â lol. Blood elves are high elves and the alliance high elves share the same model because they are the same EXACT thing and have had no outside force to alter them!
But I notice you post on your pink skinâd elf instead.
I love everything about ElsĂĽ except her being purple (which is my favorite color). I donât think âprettyâ characters should be on the Horde and never have. If Blood Elves went there they should have had green skin and hair like orcs. They should not have looked like High Elves.
BTW, the reason people want human skin tones on void elves is the same reason Blizzard is adding other RL human skin tones and features. We want to look like what we do IRL. Some of us just donât want to be aligned with the genocide faction.
This is my forum toon, it has trust lvl 3, I donât play it.
My main is a nelf druid
Second being a void elf mage, which has trust lvl 1 or zero. I hadnât even unlocked void elves when the trust level thing started.
the thing you dont understand is, the same lore that might make half elves playable is also applicable to high elves, et al, high elves who lived among humans for 2800 years at dalaran, etc, would adapt more to the cultural norms of that society.
some have argued against that because they say elves would be more like a china town situation, where theyâre there but arent assimilating, but ion claims alliance high elves have assimilated. what should you make of that, that theyâre exactly walking, standing, dancing and so on, exactly like sindorei? i dont think so.
the devs are assuming their customers are primarily males but thats wrong. i was in a guild, where over half were female and not because it was meant to only recruit females. blizz now has a huge fan base of females and they keep giving us guys dressed like girls.
check this out:
playable sanâlayn, also a big request. see any sanâlayn? venthyr females are the opposite of sanâlayn females. a sanlayn female is an exceedingly feminine vampire. a venthyr female looks like a guy in a wig. some have a widows peak that makes it look like they have a receeding hairline even, like male pattern baldness. lol
i get that they have their own ideas but dang, why ask if youre just gonna ignore most of it anyway.
Half-anything isnât gunna go, Blizz backs away from that idea and really only worked on Rexxar cause he was important. Notice how none of the other mokânethal got the same treatment. Much like many heroes he has a unique model because they can do that since heâs a one off.
High elves that lived among humans also counts those that would later become blood elves so I donât know what youâre getting at there. Unless weâre just gunna ignore the Sunreavers or others that would have scattered and gone back to Quelâthalas (unless you think Kael, an elf that lived in Dalaran but came home is going to be the only example then I donât know what to tell you.)
Alliance high elves stopped having a unique culture apart from the human areas they live in. It means theyâre not gathering in large groups and remodeling things into thalassian architecture in the Alliance or excerting their culture on the Alliance. Their culture is that of the Alliance and Dalaran.
Blood elves never abandoned their culture. They are not âassimilatingâ into someone elses. Theyâve been in the Horde for more than a decade and theyâre reclaimed the Sunwell and maintain their ancestral home and practices.
Do you just get random thoughts and go âthis is true, yepâ and keep going? lol
Ever been to a Blizzcon (itâs fun,) and have seen their workers?
i saw it and heard it. i was in a guild on classic, called pulp fiction. over 50 percent were actual females. we want feminine characters to play. not gals that run like guys.
if we wanted to run like a guy, weâd play a guy.
if we wanted hands the size of dinner plates, weâd play a guy.
do you see what iâm saying or do you think horde should have all the female players and force them to have to go along with genocide and other crazy stuff that runs them out of your faction and onto classic/off the game entirely . think for like five seconds.
So then you and your camp wouldnât have a problem if I suggested an option for Night Elves to look like, letâs say, Nozdormu then?
Or more like Iâve seen their behavior in my times lurking here and how they seem to want to police how Alliance players wish to have customization for themselves, while at the same making requests to Blizzard for Alliance-related options being handpicked and given over to their side.
Truth is the truth on that Iâm afraid.
And the current blonde hair datamined for Night Elves right now is still noticeably different from the natural blonde hair that Humans or Blood Elves might have, itâs not necessarily to give them a human-like option so much as a seasonal option as itâs a very autumnal color.
