New Customization Options for Blood Elves and Void Elves

[Slicy-anathema]

Oh cool. Can blood elves now use void elves skin options?

[Lacryma-wyrmrest-accord (Lacryma)]

No idea, but I wouldn’t mind going to WoW Hot Topic. ^^

[Slicy-anathema]

I think they should get them. If Void elves can use blood elf options it should be a 2 way road

@Bozho-frostmourne

Is there a lore explanation to the new skin choices?

Could be the Wayfarers in the Rift finally learning, like Alleria did, how to use the Void.

[Sinelius-proudmoore]

Thank you! Void elf for life!

[Lacryma-wyrmrest-accord (Lacryma)]

Yes! And the Void Elf Racials too!

…For reasons that have nothing at ALL to do with how good they are. I promise. ~_^

(This is well intentioned sarcasm btw.)

[Fobnop-turalyon (Fobnop)]

Just give us Eredar and it’ll all be good. I will race change my Warlock to Eredar on the day it goes live.

[Fyarsing-sargeras]

@Laradrin-wyrmrest-accord

I don’t think that’s a fair assumption, given that we can actually see them participating in the process.

We also see Blood Elves participating in the same process. We won’t know the specifics, until Blizzard tells us.

Wayfarers in the Rift

Oh, I’m more interested in the new Belf color variants but thank you.

[Zeìk-wyrmrest-accord (Zeìk)]

Wait, are people actually upset by this change?

Alliance got high elfs! This is what they’ve always wanted! What’s to be upset about?

._. I don’t understand.

@Fezzy-draenor

Nah man, let the Void/High Elves move on to a new future. Blood Elves have Quel’thalas.

My vote for Dalaran. Finally make the city full on Alliance, like it should be. The Horde has no need of it now that we have TWO elven cities of Arcane knowledge.

Oh, no problem, my mistake.

I thought the belfs weren’t getting the void elf skins? Do you mean the eyes?

Blue eyes were always said to be going to return to them over time now that the sunwell is right again.

I agree somewhat. Don’t think Khadgar would ever go Full on to one side though.

Maybe a new district in SW or build up the Rift.

[Degas-feathermoon (Degas)]

Khadgar nope’d out at the beginnin’ of BFA and went back to Karahzan. Seein’ how the Council of Six works by makin’ decisions based on voting, wouldn’t be too hard to just write it that the other members out voted him and returned to the Alliance.

[Ræde-stormrage]

Void Elves were basically made for people who wanted to play Belves but be Alliance instead. I actually like having the Belf skin tones and hair available for Void elves, and I like having High elf eyes for both.

I’m probably going to keep this version of my character around but re-roll him on a role play realm as a Void elf (yes I know i would have to be a different class.)

[Hypêrspace-dalaran (Hypêrspace)]

i’m not upset. i’m thrilled. many are not upset.

[Fezzy-draenor (Fezzy)]

@Degas-feathermoon

Khadgar nope’d out at the beginnin’ of BFA

He didn’t nope out. He went to look into a few things. Doesn’t take him off the Council or remove him being it’s leader.

I’ll grant you they totally could try to out vote him (and I’d not be against it since as you say the Horde has its own magic cities) but I don’t think they want to potentially lose Khadgar’s support.

Still. I could see blizz go that route.

Still would rather see the rift established as an actual place with buildings. Maybe a permanent gateway (for all races to use) that allows access in SW?

[Vaani-stormrage (Vaani)]

I think the only additional thing I’d like to see for the void elves is tattoos similar to Alleria’s. That would be neat, but I’ll live if they don’t do anything like that. Also I really love the Valeera inspired hairstyle but even if void elves will be able to use it, it just looks kind of off due to the color scheme. That’s my only issue with hair accessories in pretty much any game. GW2 does an alright job with solving this issue because you can dye the hair accessories however that’s not a system I would ever imagine being implemented into WoW. I generally go for more purple and black transmogs and the red and gold would just throw it all off. Shame because I love the hairstyle itself.

[Degas-feathermoon (Degas)]

Khadgar is the most neutral NPC in the game. I doubt he’d up and refuse to help the Kirin Tor just 'cuz they decided to rejoin the Alliance. My guess is that he would just stay in Karazhan and become some pseudo-Guardian that helps both sides whenever needed.

And quite honestly, I like that idea. Dadgar is one of my favorite NPCs and I would prefer him to just toddle off and not get involved with the Horde and Alliance outside of the occasional - “Hey, we need Guardian levels of help with this.” Less chance of him becomin’ a raid boss or somethin’.

Anythin’ to get the Horde out of Dalaran permanently. I’m sick and tired of the Horde havin’ to ignore all it’s own organizations to cater to a heavily Alliance-thmed organization. The Horde has Blood Elves, Nightborne, and Forsaken mages. We should have zero reason to ever do what Dalaran says.

Oh, y’all can keep Aethas. That pitiful excuse of a Blood Elf can piss off.

@Fyrebusche-wyrmrest-accord

so blood elves finally get an eye color that makes sense but we have to share our complete likeness with void elves? what the ? we all know blood elves are the high elves, its a complete perversion of our chosen race. cant believe blizzard caved to fanfiction and completely disrespects the story they created for the high elves from the RTS into WoW. void elves chose to become corrupted by the void but they get to look exactly like a blood elf(high elf)? blood elves get jack and most of us would have been fine with no blue eyes if it meant we stayed unique. its hysterical

Ah yes, here is what I was looking for!!

Seems to have ruffled your feathers this news. I’m sorry for that for you.

But YAY ALLIANCE HIGH ELVES finally!!!
