Merge BE/VE Non-Tentacle Hairstyles?

I can understand Void Elves wanting more and more stuff from Blood Elves. But apparently Void Elves are not happy with the hair styles they have. So why would we want them?

How about giving Blood Elves some cybernetic parts like Mechagnomes, and the Mechagnomes can be blessed with our hair.

I don’t see any harm in allowing the two races to share hairstyles. The ones shouting ‘no!’ are like children with toys that they don’t want to share.

Rather irresponsible adults, focusing too much on polygon models. Blood/Void Elf-sharing makes absolute sense here.

Gonna disagree for the reasons stated above. Blood elves have already had their identity ripped from them enough and they are the only race which was faction specific suddenly being turned into something neutral. It’s not fun to be on this end of that exchange. And it’s always us getting the short end of the stick so void elves can be used for anything other than actually being void elves.

It’s kinda gross when you think about it.

My only response to this is to create a sub race system or racial talent system and seperate the sub races customizations.

No sub race should be subjecated to just being customizations;

Also i prefer void elves to get some creativity given to them rather then get more hand me downs.

youre free to take the void elves back. not all of us alliance players are obsessed with the lotr fantasy of elves and humans. they just feel like a forced fanfiction after all these years seeing them on our side now

As much as I would like to undo the great model trade of patch 7.3.5, that’s not my call.

But man if I could I would.

In all honesty elves shouldn’t even be on the Horde, but here we are.

It was important to me that a little distinction still remained but apparently everyone just loves Blood Elves so much that they want to copy+paste them onto their own faction.

It’s about wanting something unique kept about our race. And you can say the same about people who want everything from Belves. Demanding stuff that isn’t their’s.

It’s better to create new, unique stuff for each race.

Or just give void elves their own hairstyles. Just better ones. Because the boys have very few good ones.

I think it was in that big void elf customisation megathread, someone had done a mock up of their hairstyles with braids in place of the tentacles. That would be a pretty rad option.

Unpopular opinion time again. I have many blood elves. They are the main race I play on horde with just a few trolls for spice. I don’t have nearly as many void elves, mainly because they only have a single hair style I like.

Truth: HUMANS have some of the BE hair styles I want, and they look terribad on them to boot because head shape or something. So don’t come crying that blood elves will have an identity crisis if another race gets their hair. That ship has already sailed, just no one notices because, like I said, most of their hair looks horrible on a human.
Most human hair looks horrible on an elf to be fair, it’s worth saying I guess. The two models are not very compatible it seems, but the intention has already happened, races share those hair styles.

Truth: I would be far more likely (still probably not but whatevs more likely) to play a void elf if I could make them look as good as a blood elf.

Also, we’re talking about hair here people. If it was something that really mattered (nothing matters that I can come up with, point proven I guess) I might get on board, and don’t get me started how “void elves” is rather much a corner painting appellation. Their name and the two lines that count as their “lore” are the real mistake here, let’s not have them pay for it eternally.

As someone who enjoys blood elves (and is hence immune to being told to play one, cause guess what I already do! Several! They are my horde “mains” you might say!) but would like to enjoy the VE that I ground argussian rep for more than currently allowed, I say let them have the hair.

There’s one short hair style that all my BE use, and there’s one long hair style that all my VE use (or used to use, I deleted several of them awhile back, all but my shadow priest). To make things fair how about BE get that long hair style (detailed in the thread above, the very one) and VE get some short cuts that aren’t all boofy.

That way you can go thalassian based on whether you want to be alliance or horde. BE never made that much sense as horde and I boldly remember being called a traitor to the true horde for playing one. Now that VE are a thing people be all like “don’t takes aways from horde players?” Gimme a break. You never wanted us years ago, but now you choose to get protective? Just, walk away or something.

Unpopular opinion again: I believe that the races should be merged and become neutral. As should all races. I don’t care for the alliance-horde pissing contest, never have, and just some rep work or a quest line to join the other faction would suit me right down to the ground.

Don’t flame me, I won’t respond if you do. I have a right to my opinion, same as YOU.

Exactly.

As a Void Elf Player, I’m fed up with Barbie and Ken customizations. We are Void Elves.

As a fan of the void elf, I have like 4 of them . . . I’m gonna say no to this.

Void Elves and Blood Elves need to be made more distinct not less, and Void Elves need to stop stealing Blood Elf customizations.
