High Elf Customization Thread (Legacy of the Quel'Dorei)

The idea of adjusting the body using the human and elf models as an example is an exciting concept for me.

Hated the blood elf models after they were updated in WoD because the run cycle, (something I’m looking at often) has always bugged me to death with how stiff and goofy it looks to me.

Having some kind of a model merge/adjustment would be really cool. I’d play one instantly.

I always had a headcanon that the ranger/farstrider tattoos were made using nature magic. Thus empowering a rangers natural and trained skills just a bit more.

Yeah theres a few recolors of Blood Elf art like those.

I didn’t want to include those ones directly in the main thread as they’re recoloring Belf stuff and I didn’t want to tick a few folk off. They’re still awesome though. Wheres… I had another one I liked…

Here it is!


By BannanaHamma I think.

I didn’t start it, you know.

I have most of them on ignore for a reason.

Don’t ignore their personal attacks against me either.

Just looked back and it looks to me like you took what they said as an attack and it fell from there.

Can you explain their personal attack against you? Like really from my angle it looks like you started it if I missed something though I’ll sure poke the other side too.

(Not that anyone is beholden to listen to me. I’m just the OP not a mod or nuthin. lol)

Did you miss the multiple users that I never replied to insulting me?

Come now.

I have brought this before on the VE thread I think, but given that Alleria is getting a new armor, it could be fun if her old one was made available to players.

In my ideal scenario, we’d get a shared “Farstrider” heritage set for VE and BE, which would also have specific recolors for each of the thalassian groups (and both get the green one). Imagine a customization unlock quest that gives us the armor, warpaint customization and the “High Elf” tag.

TBH I am not too pressed about an specific High Elf heritage, because I really hope Midnight comes with outdoor sets that fulfill that thalassian vibe. It’s likely, we just need some recolors that fit the HE vibe.

you familar with emet selch in ff 14? emet’s personality is quite similar.
(first one talking in this video)

This would be amazing. I love this idea. Especially cause they could use it to give newer players some lore drops.

I wonder if we’ll see the rumored warfront sets that would have been… That could be cool with color options to match all the “tribes”.

not sure they think about new players very much, just based on how confusing new players say it is to get started. the game is just too big

I think they think about them… they’re just not super great at getting that info to them. lol

They actually mentioned that shortfall in a recent interview with the WoW Community Representatives.

No, you’re not.

You’ve been blatantly wrong.

They are.

Doesn’t mean anything.

Cool.

You probably have me on ignore, which is fine, but like… you’re just wrong, lmao.

For sure. It would be the perfect opportunity to talk about the schism and what it meant to become politically stranded from each other.

TBH I don’t think they would have done a lot of concept art for the Warfront before it was scraped. It really feels like it was more of an idea that something on active developed that was shelved.

But come Midnight, at least one of the patches HAS to come with a Thalassian Outdoor set; I just really hope the recolors are fitting for all our fantasies!

not always. i mean, the no-filter approach is occasionally insulting and somewhat silly, but i find myself frequently agreeing with the topic, minus insults

for example: the sindorei are not queldorei because they dont want to be, otherwise they’d be alliance, cause kael’thas decreed you had to be sindorei to be in the kingdom

I wouldnt say unpopular necessarily. But certainly not popular opinion.

I think most people who wanted high elves just dont care any more.
Void elves fill their spot. They got the model, the customisation, there are void elves that come from the non blood elf, high elf background.

People got pretty close to what they wanted and just moved on.
