This is the ā€˜compromiseā€™ weā€™re getting?

Thatā€™s actually nice.

Honestly, until Void Elves can be Paladins, this discussion isnā€™t over. The Silver Covenant is either a thing or itā€™s not, Blizzard.

Honestly, while I am on the subject.

Iā€™d like to see class/race restrictions removed at this point. Its clear they (blizz) are very lore flexible when it suits their needs and, other than the art assets for totems and druid forms, there should be no class/race restrictions in my opinion.

Just personally speaking, I think youā€™re probably overestimating how much these options will affect the Void Elf population.

Thereā€™ll be a jump but I highly doubt itā€™ll skyrocket to Belf numbers or anything.

Speaking as a Blood Elf with Blue Eyesā€¦

It was actually kind of fun to run around dressed in paladin gear, mocking all the High Elf fans for what they would never, ever have.



ā€¦ yeah, I changed my viewpoint on that notion the minute Void Elves became a thing.

A void elf paladin makes as much sense as a lightforged DK.

Wanted to say as someone who had been wanting high elves for years on Alliance side, thank you Blizzard for giving us the customization options with Void Elves to get our characters to look like High Elves.

Also might be a bit of an unpopular take but I think giving the options to both Blood and Void Elves was a fair compromise.

New hairstyles/colors please! My Quelā€™dorei ranger needs options! We should definitely get light blue/brown/blonde colors!

The new fashion trend is to have mana wyrms in your hair or something? I think they mostly want the colours and some of the hairstyles, which you can do sans tenties.

Again are people getting paid by the misinterpret? I am saying that Alliance will have human and NE players swapping to VE, not horde leaving. At the end you will have BE and friends vs VE and friends for the factions.

I dunno whether having identical skin tone is a good idea.

Isnā€™t the entire point of Void Elves is to give Alliance something visually distinctive from Blood Elves?

Theyā€™re gonna be real difficult to tell apart at a distance (from what I understand, most players play with their cameras zoomed out).

Iā€™m cool with the idea of darker and lighter skin tones. I just donā€™t think they should be identical to a Horde race.

Just like Alleria, this particular HE could simply be her followers who learned from her and it would be completely fine.

Yes!!! Love this for both BE and VE!!! :heart: Thank you for being willing to compromise and trying to make both sides happy. Seriously, this news made my day! Yā€™all are awesome! :smile:

Heā€™s technically still right though. They arenā€™t high elves, they are still blood elves that sucked void and turned into void elves. So lorewise, they arenā€™t high elves.

A void elf priest wielding the Light (which should technically burn them internally, mind you) makes as much sense as a lightforged using the shadow.

Youā€™re red on my screen. At max zoom (so I can see people coming behind me), that is all I need. I probably do not even know which race youā€™re playing.

Now I want drow elf skin tones for BElfs.

Youā€™re right. However, not every Void Elf hairstyle has tentacles. There are plenty that do not :slight_smile:
