Humans, Dwarves, Gnomes and Velves should get Cultist/Whitemane Marks as customization

This has been a popular request, and shouldn’t be hard to introduce. Since vanilla, Humans, gnomes, dwarves and high elves were shown a cultists or dark sorcerers with these marks. This would translate well to the races today, specially void elves since they started their research through the Dar’Khan Dratir’s notes.

As for Whitemane marks, she has these in the Scarlet dungeons and is clearly not using them now. these would be human only.

These are ways we have seen these races can express themselves and would add a nice bit of customization for the players.

So I’m once again requesting this.

Only problem I have with this is the misunderstanding of Void Elves.

Void Elves don’t worship the Void like cultists do, they seek to control it for power.

It’s very similar to Blood Elves at TBC launch. They didn’t worship the Light, they extracted and manipulated it for power.

Whole point of Void Elves is to not let their minds succumb to the Void, or else Alliance wouldn’t keep them around.

Yea, DK should have access to those cultist markings, since many DK NPCs use them

It will be a nice apology for us losing some of our unique customizations with the updates

Give trolls Blood Troll customization and you got a deal.

Also: Here’s OP’s image. Might as well use my powers for good once in awhile.

Sure but that was the point at scholomance too. Learn to harness dark power more than anything.

Trolls should get the fat blood troll lady and humans the skinny Kul’tiran TBH.

DK should get eyes customization.
Fel green, Blood red, Sockets, and shadow eyes.

Agreed.

I like your suggestion Averyx think it looks awesome.

Both are ‘villian’ type looks which kinda looks cool.

7

Yes this would be cool

8

These could also be applied to forsaken now that I think about it.

It would be perfect for the “dark” classes like locks, DKs and rogues.

I support this customization, makes sense, is in game already (on NPCs), and such like that! This would be cool for those who want to play antagonists in roleplay as well!

Aren’t those cultist and dark sorcerers the bad people that we, the heroes of Azeroth, traditionally kill?

If so, then it would make no in-game sense for us to tattoo ourselves up as them.

11

I mean, a lot of stuff we used to kill is playable now. And we the alliance have dark sorceress among us, and we always had warlocks. At this point is just something edgier people in the realm would use.

At the very least shows that these races use eye makeup to signal certain studies.

On the image titled ‘High_Inquisitor_Whitemane_TCG’ her marks on her face look very much like NightElf

Also @ U Got That ft. Whitemane (Classic WoW Edition) linked is that other thread should be on this thread instead

As an Alliance player, the only thing coming to mind are worgens but my understanding is the Gilneas worgens are different than the Northrend worgens due to the druids helping them control their other form.

I tired googling this and couldn’t find any ‘good guy’ Alliance dark sorcerer/esses. What ‘good guy’ Alliance dark sorcerer/esses with those tattoos are you referring to?

And warlocks do not compare to cultists or dark sorcerer/essess.

So class specialization tattoos? Now that is an interesting idea.

14

Dark Irons, Void elves used to be belves, Shren’dralar, Demon Hunters, Death Knights…

Here’s an example of an alliance good guy with tattoos

15

wait you are using your powers for something that isn’t :poop:posting?

16

We used to kill dark iron dwarves and anyone who worshipped the void at one point, as well as any Thalassian that wasn’t a high elf.
Also used to kill any Death Knights or Demon Hunters we found.

17

But the Dark Irons, Void elves, Demon Hunters and Death Knights all changed.

I mean, they were bad guys when we killed them and then they changed, became good guys so we stopped.

(I have no idea about the Shen’dralar and am on my way out and don’t have time to check.)

According to the article, he was a soldier and then a death knight, not a dark sorcerer/ess.

I have been wanting this forever and quite frankly, I’m baffled by the fact that it wasn’t included with the customization update at the start of SL considering it’s such a no-brainer. It’s just textures, not a change in animations or the entirety of the model. For humans, gnomes, and mechagnomes, they could’ve easily uncoupled the eyes, skin tones, and tattoos and turned them into barber options, then throw in some different tattoos akin to what night elves have always had. A lot of warrior, mage, warlock, priest, rogue, and DK players would probably end up rocking them.

19

I mean, it’d look cool, which is the point of a lot of the whys we get things in general.

Cultist vibes work for them, even if they’re not typical “cultists”, if you catch my drift.

20

Sure, so? people with evil tattoos can change too.

Still has tattoos. Or makeup.

Yeah, mechagnomes could benefit too. Honestly it’s an easy and quick addition.

They don’t even have to worry about whitemane’s uniquenes because HotS made her new canon looks just different.
