… to Void Elves.

So, ahem. :flushed:

I haven’t been this excited for a race since the Cataclysm gave us playable Goblins, and I don’t know how to feel about this. Part of this I blame on my fascination with the works of HP Lovecraft and the Mythos later authors expanded on, I am a sucker for creepy, weird stuff.

Partly I blame the colour schemes. I adore purple and golds, with the rich astral blues a bonus. The hair options, which include glowing aberrant tendrils, are just so fabulous. The skin colours, my favourite being the near-white tone which makes it look like the Abyss drained the elf of all their pigmentation.

I also blame the heritage armour, which in my opinion is one of the best released so far. I adore the Highmountain/Tauren armour, plus the upcoming Gnome armour. The detail, colour, and design just blows me away. Minus the neck collar for males, because every single long hair style clashes with it. (Shame, Blizzard!)

Their lore potential is incredibly interesting, and the powers they’ve demonstrated so far leaves me intrigued and wanting to see more. All in all, I think that the Void Elves are a fresh new take on the classic Elf fantasy, which has gotten really stale over the last few decades of playing a bevy of tabletop and virtual RPGs.

I have nearly a Void Elf for every class, and as a role-player I’ve lovingly crafted a backstory and purpose of each of them. I haven’t invested this much effort into my characters since my original Goblin rogue back in the day. It feels so satisfying to see that character background of purples, Void energy, and the vastness of space each time I load the game.

So, thank you. Blizzard.

Thank you for giving us the Ren’dorei. :heart_eyes:

And their armor is pretty cool.

I like them too! I unlocked them almost immediately when they were released, and I was kinda hooked when I found out I loved the male facial hair options. And, the big thing here…DISCOUNT ON MOGGING??? Most OP racial.

Please drop off your Horde Membership card, immediately. Traitors can go Alliance.

Oh my goddess, yes! Absolutely my favourite racial, except for my Goblin Rocket Boots. Nothing beats nitro-fueled rocket boots.

Nah, I already play both sides babydoll. I got a card for each of you!

I prefer my high elves to be horde affiliated and untainted by the void.

They complete me :heart:

Pffft, that was the weakest Goblin subtle bomb threat ever. I can see why you went elf.

Void elves are by far the best elves. I love basically anything voidy.

Unfortunately Blizzard gave them among the worse and most contrived lore in game :frowning:

I mean ‘elf corrupted by the void’ isnt much different than ‘draenei infused with the Light’ and I rarely see people crying about the Lightforged lore

I’m working on a Mage right now, with a Priest to follow. :heart_eyes:

Old God lore is my favourite thing in WoW, which is why Ulduar is still one of my favourite raids.

That is an unfortunate given, they really did just appear out of nowhere. In all honestly they could have linked a faction of Blood or High elves to the campaign on Argus and had us work directly with them after the transformation.

They do have the entirety of the Blood Elf lore still behind them, which helps. A little bit.
