It’s really a missed opportunity that VE’s didn’t get fleshed out during the n’zoth patch. But my hopes is that we can still get a mini-patch for some VE story as a side thing during SL, after all we should see what is happening on azeroth now and then since this is gonna be a time skip anyways.
Did you see my reply to you about the hair tentacles? I’m not sure if you missed it due to the unrelated back and forth or if it just wasn’t interesting to you.
The good news for content going forward is that they exist. So… there is more of a chance of content existing that’s designed around them.
Void elves landed in the BFA pre-patch, but since they were doing so many Allied Races I think that just getting the recruitment quest going in BFA was kind of the whole thing.
It’s sad that they showed up the most in Visions of N’zoth.

Yup, and maybe a few campaign quests too.
Uh-huh. Keep the same energy then, or at least acknowledge the person you’re trying to allude had nothing to do with the “unrelated” back and forth which was as far as I can see all on HE/BE customizations, other than the insults he threw out so he was the unrelated back and forth. But I get it thats who you’re friendly with in these threads so you’ll just loosely absolve him of credibility with that statement.
I did, in fact, miss it, and it’s good to know that they’re not related.
I’m torn on the issue. Some of the Warhammer 40k Dark Elf hairstyles kind of do a good job of contrasting against the Blood Elves.
I think there are hairstyles that make a lot of sense shared between the two races and then hairstyles that don’t. Like, some hairstyles like Mane and Foxtail are shared between Sin’dorei and Humans anyways.
On the other hand, it’s a good way of maximizing development time to just give all the sin’dorei ren’dorei model characters the same hairstyles.

Now there is the issue of faction bloat.
Though to be fair, I haven’t seen a normal Draenei represented in awhile. I don’t think the Lightforged and the Draenei operate as unique factions.

The Void Elf, “Warped” hairstyle, (The long one with half the head shaved) is the most, “We’re gonna make this sail out of human skin.” hairstyle in the game. Just a ton of their hairstyles are for people who brush their teeth with razorblades.

That is a good quiestion actually, as we haven’t seen them interact much.
Though lightforged is more of a military division and normal dreanei is more civilian baised with it’s own government lead by velen.

Yeah. they literally just added an Ally Race that’s a part of the normal race. Kul’tirans are at least a seperate nation with their own customs. Lightforged Draenei are just Draenei Green Berets.

Which is why I suggested a race toggle for them to give them some identity beyond just “more holy dreanei” ya know?
They are a military unit, they shouldn’t care who joins them as long as they fight for the cause, specially since we could say add the dark portal army among it’s ranks.
Yeah. They should have just been a customization option. Same with High Mountain Tauren.
Hopefully High Mountain Tauren aren’t totally forgotten, but I feel like the vast majority of Allied Races are just gonna be represented by a canon character running around to remind you they exist.
Sometimes this is good since I’m not looking forward to mowing down formations of Vulpera or anything.
I’m guessing you’re a fan of The Last Jedi, if you call this story progression. You see, story progression has to have logical reasoning behind it, and as I’ve laid out already, there was none behind the Blood Elves, and even less behind the foolish decision to implement lazy knockoff Elf race that no one asked for.

Turalyon makes my case stronger for model toggling! He is a human leading an dreanei army? Kinda silly no?
I do agree with high mountain tuaren, maybe they can give them the fel totem too and add them as customization options. This can also give them warlocks
I didn’t say it was.
Yeah. The Fel Totem Tauren are awesome. But there isn’t a huge reason not to just throw them in with regular Tauren, since you’re not gonna give them a zone or anything.
I guess maybe one argument for the customization options is that you could shovel them into a subrace system or an Allied Race later. But, that’s always difficult. Once you give players something, taking it away is really, really difficult.
But a lot of the races are superfluous. Mag’har orcs, High Mountain Tauren, Kul’Tirans, Mechagnomes, Lightforged Draenei, Dark Iron Dwarves.
People want to see more Void Elf, Nightborne and Zandalari stuff. … and I’m sure Vulpera too.
All in good time though and I know, My other suggestion for hightotem customization is the northrend tuaren too can be added for there customization, while regular tuaren can get grimtotem tuaren for theirs.
The Hordes tribe system really helps em’ get a bunch of Allied Races or customizations easily.
You don’t get that much Alliance side. We’ve got Eredar who could come hang. But whenever they’re like, “Check out these Elves with a different cosmology.” it’s a big deal.
I guess Dark Iron Dwarves are exactly that though.
Alliance can still get outland broken, pandaria’s jinyu, and the ankoa (can be jinyu subrace though)
They could always make new races too.
Oh, and the arrokoa is up for grabs for anyone.
I also forgotten about furbogs! Some furbog tribes are allies of the NE/dreanei
