Still trying to get a pool party going at the Sunwell, Void elves only.

I’d be ok with Void Elves getting hair colors like Blood Elves but they should be streaked with void in some way to differentiate them from Horde Blood Elves. Blood and High elves who are joining the Void Elves should show in some way that they’re Void now, imo.

Well I’d like to think we need more than just blonde as far as hair colors go. And even if the devs decide Void Elves should get a shade of blonde, it doesn’t have to be the same as any shade of blonde that Blood Elves have.
Here’s an example of what I mean:

Both are blonde but both are different. Blood Elves do not have a darker blonde like that.
Void Elves don’t need Blood Elf hairstyles and colors copy/pasted to complete the High Elf aesthetic. That’s just the easiest, fastest, and most low-effort route for the devs to finish the High Elf look on Void Elves. Ideally they’ll put forth a bit more effort than that.
Using alternatives like the Kul Tiran hair textures and some Human hairstyles would work just as well without copying more from Blood Elves and still retaining some distinction between the two. Example:

Blood elves don’t have green striped hair from the fel magic they devoured in BC.

What is your point?
Excactly. And only Umbric followers were transformed by Void Etherals. But Alleria saved them during the transformation.

That void stripes don’t make sense on the new recruits.

They didn’t devour fel magic…

They consumed fel magic in BC to sate their magic addiction when the sunwell was destroyed. Hence, green glowing eyes.
How did the blood elven fel eye glint become so widespread? The Warcraft Encyclopedia suggests that Rommath only taught the blood elves of Azeroth about how to siphon arcane magic, as most of the populace would likely be “horrified” if they knew the true extent of Kael’s dealings with Illidan. The situation regarding blood elf eyes is, in fact, extremely similar to that of the green skin of orcs: just being around heavy use of fel magic turned the eyes of the blood elves green. You could be the most pious of priests or most outdoorsy of Farstriders, chances are, if you were a high elf in Quel’Thalas or Outland following the Third War, you were around fel energies, and your eyes would turn green. Like the orcs’ skin color, such an effect would take a very long time to wear off. Fel magic works a bit like radiation in this sense; it permeates the area and seeps into anything in the vicinity. Anything near a source of fel magic shows signs of slight corruption, it just so happens that high elves and orcs manifest it in a very visual way

Heh, color me surprised. Regardless, that fel exposure did not dye their hair in any way. The hair stayed the same, even through exposure.
Get ready for even more arguments even with that much evidence because people don’t like admitting they are wrong.
Oh dang, now I’m the one that is surprised o.o this usually isn’t how it goes lmao.
No I realize that now lol
Hahaha I do admit to being wrong, and I love to learn more about WoW lore.

Blood elves got exposed to a level of background fel radiation. Void elves have been changed to their core, stuff like blood color changing, they’re wasted as vanilla elf stand ins. Keep void elves weird.

Hey, I’d love fel corrupted hair man. My lock would love that.

If the new recruits (High elf wayfarers) with natural skin tones do not undergo such rituals, then the void effects on them should show a lot less externally. Correct?
For locks it would be a sick feature indeed.
Yea, that might get me to actually play a blood elf since it has a lock aesthetic. Something I long for.
