New Customization Options for Blood Elves and Void Elves

Except they haven’t, alt #21510515135 of someone who has made this exact same argument.

Thre have been calls for it yes, and honestly…yeah…I don’t have faith in Blizzard.

That is generally because a number of the more vocal antis…like the ones in here, did not want anything of the sort. This isnt some revelation. A number of people said how they didnt want anything and stood upon the pillar of racial uniqueness.

That being said at the same time; a number of these same antis arent that mad or discouraged about these developments either.

I would have a large issue with this. Simply because it ruins the plight for high elves and sets very bad precendent.

The issue is that (Much like the pro parties), the anti crowd has a lot of different opinions with the most vocal proponents pushing the narrative of “nothing should happen”. Lets not act like something similar wasnt happening with the pros as more radical narratives back then and even now get pushed forward.

Why would they want to influence if their opinion was to maintain the status quo? You do release that a large argument on forms was “nothing” rather than “compromise.”

Honestly, this is the best chase scenario for me…for MANY reasons.

It is a silly argument. Because you’re the one who wants to carry on about it, as if to say, you do not want the game all together to actually move forward.

Well I think a Void Elf, demanding Quel’thalas holds much less weight then HEs that people like to push as being morally better then BEs.

So I am happy VEs can get the customizations and the wayfarers lore to be former HEs. And I feel satisfied that Blizzard will protect the integrity of BEs and their lore on Horde.

Thank you admitting the argument is a silly one.
Now you can address this one?

Sharing assets is not moving forward. At worst, it is laziness on customization, but no one cares because its for a pretty race.
You only say it is, because this is what you wanted from the beginning.

Moving forward would mean going deeper into the void elf theme.

Maybe? Blizzard hasnt explained this lore wise yet.

You might be right. I can’t say with any certainty what might have happened.

But I can say with absolute certainty that your side did NOT want this outcome.

And I believe that if we had been able to find any common ground, and spoke in one voice to Blizzard about what we could agree on, that it might have influenced the outcome in a different direction.

I admit things could have turned out exactly as they have. But we can always keep watching and see how effective the wall of “no” is at continuing to blur the difference between Void Elves and Blood Elves. I’ve got plenty of popcorn ready for the show.

We are, you just keep insisting that asking for our tastes to be the ones catered to is only a request to deny you your tastes being catered to.

In one game. And then not until the 2nd expansion in wow did you really get an alliance faction of them.

At the end of the day arguing with this guy doesn’t really change the fact that Void Elfs ARE getting the new skin tones and blue eyes in the Shadowlands Pre-patch, as well as potentially getting new hair colors (we see a new black/non-voidy black up there that’s not in game right now, and we might be getting white hair like Alleria if the datamined stuff about picking “Second hair color” and “Second skin color” for Entropic Embrace is right).

So I guess we can just be happy for more customization and player agency of our appearance, thank Blizzard for making such a great choice, and continue asking for them to further expand upon the customization for all races :smiley:

Especially Nightborne! Give our Nightborne some love Blizz! As a Nelf player, feel free to steal our skin tones, hair colors, and hair styles. The more customization avaiable to all races the better, I don’t take it personal :smiley: And if Belfs get Velf hairstyles but non-voidy, good for them :smiley:

Well Void Elves are officially traitors, Lor’themar remarks as such as well. Traitors seem less legitimate than say the political schism that the HEs of the Alliance would base their claim on. That is my perspective.

How about I just put you on ignore. It is clear you want to ignore entire parts of the post and hide the fact that you’re upset over “skin colours” :angry:

I tried explaining the best possible way for you. But all you want to do is part quote and ignore most of my post.

Well yeah…because it was about uniqueness for both VE and BE, pointing out the stances of Anti doesn’t really do anything. People could have compromised, but then that wouldnt be pro-uniqueness.

Even then, as you said it could have been this anyway, and I am leaning towards it being this way purely because Blizzard is lazy.

Oh self awareness

But some of us never wanted High Elves to begin with, we wanted something different. Yes, maybe Blizzard could have given Void Elves a unique model. It would have been justified considering they were nearly turned into Ethereals. Instead we got void skinned Blood Elves with weird hair. By the time we knew what Void Elves actually were, it was too late to ask for some of the things you wanted. Now Blizzard is attempting to end the debate by giving addition options to both sides.

We never wanted the same thing, so why would we have joined your pleas?

Go for it? I am not sure what kind of reaction you expect from me Sara.

There is irony here, because you are not self-aware, and as such, do not realize this is what you are doing. You have been ignoring my argument entirely.

Just because some people don’t want some things, does not mean they speak louder than anyone else.

I would like for you to say this to Dorp and Cezol/Kizzan since they don’t seem to agree with you. In fact, I do recall them saying pro-uniqueness doesn’t matter and should have no voice.

My stance has not changed since the reveal.
This change is bad, until they do something for the Horde to even it out.
Otherwise, we’re going back to the status quo of Alliance getting everything, including what they don’t want, and the Horde getting screwed.

Get with the times Broflake. It is 2020. Not 2007. The game needs to move forward, whether you like it or not. Otherwise, if you’re still unhappy because of “customisation” options, guess what, there is more games out there for you to enjoy

And you saying “this change is bad” is nothing more but your own opinion.

Having customization is fine.

Taking everything from one thing and giving it to another without leaving anything unique is not.

I am pretty sure, some people would agree that there should be somethings only a BE/VE should have and not available to both.

So when Ion said if you want to be a pale pretty blonde elf, the horde is waiting for you, you took that advice and went to a different game?
Or are you going to become aware of what you are saying, was the same as Ion’s, and realize, telling someone to leave because they disagree is a bad thing to do?

Besides, I am not against customization, I am against shared assets.
I would rather you not speak my points for me and try to paint me in a way to favor your view since you cannot seem to speak with me in an honest way.

Yeah no, that’s quite the subjective statement. What you see and label as “gatekeeping”, is people rejecting the homogenization of the Void elf and Blood elf races.

If what you want furthers that, then you bet we’re going to ask against it. It’s really that simple.
