I would actually like to see their ritual on how they infuse the void into themselves willingly. I feel that is a hole that needs to be filled. If there is dialogue of some joining there should be dialogue on what their fellows who donât join thinks and doing instead.
My best guess is that the proces isnât as simple as a quick ritual and bam youâre a Void Elf, but rather a longer more careful process of learning similar to how Alleria came to possess her powers. It probably does involve some ritual work though. Like summoning void creatures to absorb for example.
Gotcha, so youâre just determined not to actually raise a point, hu?
Honey, Blizzard did that for us, iâm just playing with the cards they dealt, much like the people who immediately started realizing the Void elf aesthetic is not what they wanted along with these new customization options, the ball already started rolling from Void Elves towards High Elves before i even woke up that morning.
And you thought anyone thought that was gonna happenâŠwhy?
What iâm saying is what Iâve been seeing, more request for High Elf customization than Void Elf customization, and why wouldnât there be?
Considering this is the âavenueâ for High Elf, Blizzard apparently came up with, i donât even remotely blame people for wanting more out of it, itâs a big deal, and only fueled immensely by the lackluster implementation of Void elves more than 2 years ago.
If Blizzard wanted to avoid this particular fire, they would of developed Void Elves into their own thing a long time ago, and even more recently now, with the patch that perfectly fits their tiny niche in the void, if they wanted to give them an âidentityâ before destroying it by gluing High Elves to it.
I get that youâre just outraged for the little people, but like i mentioned to you before.
Antis were always wrong about High Elves, hilariously proven more so by this customization options that just outright takes the Blood elf look, guess they should of been campaigning against Void Elf customization instead hu?
Iâm not wrong about Void Elves, they are outright not more popular than High Elves, and all this recent news does is cement that idea more.
I look forward to your incoming âKareningâ of the defenseless, lets try to keep it under 2 paragraphs, iâm raiding.
I feel bad for any genuine Void Elf fans that there are but sadly this is the path blizzard has chosen in regards to the High Elf issue. Theyâve given Void Elves the option for regular skin tones and blue eyes. (Possibly even more options that we havenât seen yet.)
For better or for worse this is the path that most people are going to argue now for their playable High Elves and itâs the most likely path theyâre going to get them from. I donât see why Blizzard at this point would add an entirely new race for them when High Elves already have 1 foot in the door through Void Elves. Theyâve already got the skin tones and the blue/purple eyes. Whatâs stopping them from adding normal hair and tattoos or warpaint? Or even more than that when it comes to racials?
Nothing, because people are entitled to ask for more customization for the most requested group in-game, whatever avenue that has apparently taken.
And they shouldnât feel like they shouldnât because they donât want to ruin a race with 0 development and lore for a group with infinite more popularity and story, like itâs honestly ridiculous to come to the defense of something that is not only not being touched but has nothing but a model and a niche to defend.
Like, Void Elves were supposed to be High Elves from the beginning, exactly the reason why they werenât developed past their introduction, the fact that anyone is shocked that thatâs whats finally happening is beyond me.
Iâd say just keep asking for more void themed options, rather than asking Blizzard to stop adding High Elf options. It puts you at odds with some people. Me? Iâm greedy! I want more of everything!
When you ask for more void themed stuff, Iâm on your side.
When you ask to not add more High Elf stuff Iâm not.
Hows this then. The new customization options are great, but lets get some new void looks and lore before we start messing with things like the racials. Like, just stabilize the race a bit more before adding too much up front?
