New Customization Options for Blood Elves and Void Elves

Red panda Pandaren already exsist for both. Would not be a fan of taking that away.

Im thinking more like jewelry, belts and tats/shavings that can be added

Guzzle-barthilas · June 25, 2020, 2:17pm

And blue pandas next xpac as well.

We never talk about how the Pandaren species has a sub-species in it.

Henitai-amanthul · June 25, 2020, 2:20pm

True, dont think they will make sense outside DKs tho

I’ve always thought NEs were getting their Undead Dark Rangers back too I was shocked the Alliance version of the DR turned me into a NE version. Then Calia takes them.

So I can see it definitely.

That being said I don’t see BE fans nearly as happy about what is coming for us as NE fans are, we need tattoos, and our second theme, so if NEs get undead skin tones I just hope it isn’t done before giving it to BEs, as like you said the BEs have the lore through the DR’s that stayed via in game text citation ready to implement them at anytime.

Frost mages, shadow priests.

Also, isn’t it soft confirmed as DK customisation anyway?

High Elf, and then you choose between a Blood Elf or a Void Elf.

Human, then you choose between regular Human and Kul Tiran.

Draenei > Regular Draenei vs Lightforged Draenei

I believe there’s a concept like this that some fan made and published in Twitter a while ago. I’m sure someone here can link it for you.

I know you know I’m against this type of idea. But it really only serves to pander to HE Alliance fans. BE fans already know the BEs are High Elves, that validation isn’t needed for us. Why should our character creation screen be tampered with for more pandering to HE fans on the Alliance? The same ones who seem to think BE fans got the better end of the stick, the same ones who used laughing emojis telling me we should get “wretched” options instead of actual Dark Ranger stuff. The same ones who now feel ownership over our Farstrider tattoos?

I’ve always been for HEs but leave BE’s alone completely is my opinion and that extends to some sort of tampering with our character creation screen.

That’s what I was saying about a sub-race system.

But then they would have to talk about if they would limit customization options by sub race.

And you mean Blood Elf or Dark Ranger (Dark Elf?) And High Elf or Void Elf. The race is Elf.

High Elf is a social group not a race.

Leinadh-stormrage · June 25, 2020, 2:28pm

And I know you already know I’m not saying “make Blood Elves a neutral race”, just group them up in the character selection screen and there you choose between a Horde Blood Elf or an Alliance Void Elf.

This has absolutely nothing to do with the HE community and their wishes, not sure what’s all that about. It’s just a simple reorganization of allied races within their parent races.

Callistus-wyrmrest-accord · June 25, 2020, 2:29pm

No reason to put it in the middle. Pandaren are shown on either race select in the new UI.

Leinadh-stormrage · June 25, 2020, 2:29pm

It’s their official name as the race (Quel’dorei), like Night Elves (Kaldorei).

Henitai-amanthul · June 25, 2020, 2:29pm

No idea, just going on assumptions.
I would think anything that makes them look “unnatural” to what you would expect would be for DKs, expect the same for the allied races when there pass comes.

Lannisterian-tichondrius · June 25, 2020, 2:30pm

I don’t think we need to see BEs grouped together. The only reason a HE fan would push for “High Elf” to be the new character screen and BEs a sub race under that is for validation for VEs. There really isn’t a need for it. Just like HE fans are now under the impression VEs share as an AR attention time during core race customizations. We don’t need more grouping, the new character screen is already lovely enough and got rid of ‘slots’.

Callistus-wyrmrest-accord · June 25, 2020, 2:30pm

So Kul’tiran is the official name of a race?

What you are saying would mean that Blood Elves are literally a separate race of elves.

Leinadh-stormrage · June 25, 2020, 2:31pm

Ah, that is completely true. Then it doesn’t really matter, just let Void Elves have their own separate slot to compensate for Vulpera (as they don’t have any parent race).

Avarie-farstriders · June 25, 2020, 2:31pm

For night elves I want more faces, more ear jewelery, a couple more hairstyles, tattoos, and while I don’t play male characters I know some who do would appreciate some body work. I want smaller hands for the women but I like their model over all.

Callistus-wyrmrest-accord · June 25, 2020, 2:32pm

Elves… you just throw an Elf slot on either side of the Ui like we are already doing.

Guzzle-barthilas · June 25, 2020, 2:32pm

Do night elves have big hands? I’ve never looked.

Callistus-wyrmrest-accord · June 25, 2020, 2:32pm

And eyebrows for males.
