Yes. I know.

@Hypêrspace-dalaran

well your theory is you think blizz is trying to spread belf population around by not making their customizations as interesting. this might be the case for seasoned players but new players will not have access to velfs, and chances are, once they select a core race character, they arent likely to try allied races out for an extended timeframe.

Im not saying they would go pick velves, I said with all new race customization.

You seem to care

I’ll keep pointing out your rude jabs at BE fans

@Alamara-goldrinn

even when I’m not addressing you (which I haven’t done in weeks).

Weeks?

@Alamara-goldrinn

@Lannisterian-tichondrius

Yeah this petty almost snide anti BE remarks are why a lot of people don’t click with the HE community, or lack sympathy for it when they see it making new requests.

As if I cared for sympathy after being denied it for years. It’s not our fault that the forums got a weekly “give blood elves blue eyes” thread for all that time.

You said this, this morning 8 hours ago talking about how you extend no grace and expect none as your reasoning for your anti BE player comments.

[Khairan-quelthalas (Khairan)]

I get it! and I support it! I don’t understand how we are supposed to be happy about things we don’t ask for!

[Callistus-wyrmrest-accord]

Now we can have blue hair like that dragon. Have been looking forward to it…

But also we need white Vereesa white and Alleria blonde.

[Broflake-illidan]

Meh, I only wish for BE players to get two themes just as how the void elves got two themes.
If not? Its just going to be a design flaw.

You play a mage, and dont know Kalec’s name? Whats this about helf fans and being experts at lore?

[Hypêrspace-dalaran (Hypêrspace)]

what do you think they’ll select if not velf or nelf? we’re talking belfs now. you’re saying they’ll go for other races if they’re not thrilled with their customizations, right? technically, it wont show a big increase in velf population because new players that flood in when new expacs drop, will still be selecting from core races and velfs arent a core race

[Isveria-moon-guard]

@Bourbonboxer-lightbringer

Well no, because the void elves are beings infused with void. Changing them to have more light aesthetics…kind of counters what the race is. No?

I mean I’m not in the crowd asking for new racials/Paladin class/etc. I think that’d be fine if they introduced a sub-race system and made a High Elf subrace, but I don’t think that’s likely. I’d much rather have Nelf Paladins

I just want white hair, black hair, light blonde hair, cool toned hair colors, etc. and maybe a Void toggle option to double our hair options of both void and non void styles. I really don’t think that’s unrealistic or too much to ask.

They can do it now or when they do the Allied Race passover, idrc either way.

[Callistus-wyrmrest-accord]

I even read his manga. Just because something is unstated doesn’t mean it is unknown.

Why are they foregone to pick an elf?

@Isveria-moon-guard

I think that’d be fine if they introduced a sub-race system and made a High Elf subrace, but I don’t think that’s likely.

Oh so the allied race system…wait a second.

@Callistus-wyrmrest-accord

You play mage. Think about it for a second, why I keep pointing this out.

[Rialius-wyrmrest-accord (Rialius)]

I just want dreads and or afros for my dark skinned Belves, red eyes for my dark ranger, and freckles for my gingers.

Tatoos and scars would be groovy.

I don’t know why this is so controversial to helf fans.

[Callistus-wyrmrest-accord]

Maybe you should play a dwarf with that book of grudges you’ve got.

Or a Vulpera when you are riding that drama llama.

[Khairan-quelthalas (Khairan)]

it is a logical answer if the allied race has all the skin colors of the main race and the unique colors it is clearly unfair that the main race does not have unique skin colors too!

[Isveria-moon-guard]

@Bourbonboxer-lightbringer

No I mean a literal subrace system.

Like when you click on Dwarves in character select, options pop up on the side for Bronzebeard, Wildhammer, etc. templates.

When you click on NightElfs, you can get a Shrendalar option with some unique arcane customization/eyes that locks you into the mage class.

When you click Trolls, templates pop up for Darkspear, Forest, and Sand trolls, etc.

When you click Void Elf, an option could pop up for High Elfs, that locks you out of certain classes but provides the option to do ones that Velfs can’t do like Druids or something.

I probably explained that badly but that’s along the lines of what I was referring to.

[Fezzy-draenor (Fezzy)]

Everyone’s so testy today.

[Bourbonboxer-lightbringer (Bourbonboxer)]

@Isveria-moon-guard

Ah, so a better version of the allied race system. Sure, if you remove allied races.

[Zurogrusel-darrowmere]

@Lancelot-lightnings-blade

Are you referring to the different model?

Lorewise forest trolls resemble ogres in terms of physicality.

Doomhammer nodded. Forest trolls. And they had tribes. Which meant they were civilized. Much, much more than ogres. For the first time he found himself thinking Blackhand‘s idea might be wise. These creatures seemed more like orcs than ogres, despite their size and strength.

• Tides of War, chapter four

The male model in game is likely meant to represent this.

We’re getting skins to represent sand and dark trolls, who are not in the Horde and have a hostile history with the Horde, but for some reason, as of yet, we aren’t on track to receiving the skins for the trolls that are still in the Horde to this day. I made a thread for forest trolls so I won’t rant too much here.

@Isveria-moon-guard

They’d have more than mages. They have several other classes shown among their number within Dire Maul. Also, I bet you could still weasel in DH.

Fine with me. They basically are in the prepatch by removing the reputation gates.

I also think they could just put Lightforged Draenei as a subrace to Draenei if they did this.
