While itâs not meant to add high elf options much of it can help with their form of RP.
White and black hair, lighter shades of some of the current void hair colors, tentacle toggle, ear sliders, tattoos.
Many of those would help high elf fans as much as they enhance the void elves and their themes.
Yeah, but I canât have Scandal or Falling Tears in that colour.
The palette allowed to these styles is pretty limited.
What is the opinion of giving Void Elves the exact same hair colors as Blood Elves but changing the hue to be a pinch darker
It would be easier for Blizzard to just grab the Kul Tiran hair textures, since they already work on the void elf hair styles. That would be a little bit more different too I think.
Iâd be against that.
Void elf hair colors should veer to the unnatural due to their void infusion.
I donât mind the idea of taking some hair colors and making them into unnatural variations more akin to their current shades.
A yellow for instance that is clearly not natural blonde but more banana yellow? Maybe even a bit more novaâd.
I donât think too many high elf fans would enjoy it but some might. Still it would be within the bounds of the void theme in my opinion.
I wonder how to make white hair look more unnatural than literal Death Knight hair.
You know that white hair void elves had for a bit because of a glitch?
Where the texture wasnât rendered?
That was pretty good.
It looks cool in screenshots, yeah. So maybe something inspired by that.
Iâd try to do a mockup, but I canât turn velf hair white in GIMP to save my life.
thats an intended feature. playable void elves have cold and dark hair themes that are attributed to their void nature. the blood elf aesthetic is now just warm fair and natural hair. so again you have to look at this from a holistic view of the game like blizzard does, if you dont want to be a void elf then play a blood elf. theres no point in further damaging blood elf player uniqueness and the diversity between void/blood elves because of an extremely small group of players. uniqueness is a very important part of an mmo after all
I donât like limitations being an intended feature. Iâm still salty void elves were the only launch AR with no tattoos.
Night Elves get brown hair now. Thatâs outside their original palette.
I imagine they could, without harming the void aesthetic or blood elves, manage to include some brighter colors.
Like a banana yellow I mentioned above, the void may tend to be purples and blacks but there isnât a reason that pallette couldnât be expanded.
Death was for the longest time shown only with shadow and now has five pallettes.
Options could be found that donât have to intrude on one another.
I agree with this, but banana yellow would be kinda silly looking on a VE.
In before banana elves.
I wouldnât worry about it.
Theyâll go extinct the first major disease that comes byâŚ
Thatâs not how hue works. Hue is something very specific and not a general synonym for the word color to make yourself look smarter.
Youâre thinking of value.
Are you sure? How about quoting my WHOLE post:
And this was said after I pointed out that, in the event devs decide to effectively 100% copy-paste Belf aesthetics in Velves, then the aesthetics Belves would have to get in compensation would HAVE TO BE absolutely exclusive for the Belves as a form of compensation for the race losing it´s esclusive visual aesthetics. And do you know what did your âheroâ answer? Let me quote:
Implying regardless of my point, Velves would STILL be able to continue poaching visual uniqueness from the Belf model. Which sorry but IS a dishonest argument, cause as much as it bothers people Belves are NOT a second rate product on this game and they deserve to get some sort of visual uniqueness like every other race in this game has.
Tl;dr: next time you jump to âdefend peopleâ, do the HONEST thing and go back to read the whole freaking argument so you don´t end up proving my argument (you know, the one about you people arguing dishonestly by proxy of ignoring the whole conversation and quotiong only the parts that are convenient for yourselves).
I´ll say to you the same I said to the Helfer: go way back and read the whole conversation and then you will be able to understand why the stuff was said the way it was done. Context is VERY important in the communication process, and partial quotes are not the ideal vehicle to get the idea about what people was trying to say.
Too late.
Well, my latest points in this thread have been about WHY devs didn´t simply implement Belf clones with the nameplate âHigh Elfâ in regards to visual aesthetic exclusivity in Legion (Ergo, Velves) and how, in the case THIS cloning happens, then they devs will have to give yet another brand of visual exclusivity to the Belf race to make it unique once again. And ity has to be the type of visual exclusivity that makes sense for the WHOLE class/race combo, not only for niche cases.
Apparently for some Helfers this is STILL too much to ask, and they will want to continue with the copy process (the phrase âif it makes sense for Velvesâ is terrible because as canon ex-Belves this facilitates the copying of EVERYTHING Belf on Velf).
Do you imagine Void scars or tattoos? 
Thatâs the thing, weâve already identify that this is indeed a âyouâ issue, just not a me issue. You conveniently ignore that both VE and BE look essentially the same, the only things keeping them apart visually itâs a color palette and tentacles⌠and if you change those two things, you will end up with a blood elf. Anyone can see this, but youâre purposely ignoring it because you want blood elves in the Alliance with extra steps, but you wonât downright say this.
Fine by me. Villainize me all you want. If itâs the price for not ignoring the whole picture, Iâll gladly take it.
First, you need to relax. Itâs not about feeling âsuperiorâ, weâre discussing pixel elves (so much for making a big fuss over something minor, hm?).
Second, I babysat 4 much younger brothers, and considering that 2 of them would chase teenage me while brandishing a broom with the full intention of smacking me with it, I do laugh when I see a child in that situation.
And then a US company will incite a war and encourage atrocities amongst the banana elves in order to acquire more of them.
OK now you see?
This one understands a bit of good old fashioned agricultural satire and the roasting of economically biased warmongering.
