Opinion from a Void Elf player

As someone who justed started with Void Elves. I think Void Elves should have little more High Elf Features like more Hair Colors that is shade of dark blonde, brown, Black Hair, Pure Red Hair Color, White Silver Hair that is Pure White, Hairstyles that is kind of like the mix of the New Blood Elf Options but also something like Alleria, Vereesa, and other High Elf Characters Hair, Tattoos that is colorful of Red, Blue, Green, Purple, White, and etc, Skin tunes that isn’t the same Blue and Purple like more like Grey Skin, Brown/Black Skin, Pinkish Pink Skin from the scrapped Pink Skin Tunes from the original concept of Void Elves, Scars, Jewelry, Beards, and etc.

Also when all of the High Elf Features are full and done. There we can talk about Voidy Options of Monster Features of 3 to 4 eyes, Monster Hair, and etc.

Personally I don’t think that high elf features should take priority over void features. I think there are plenty of players like me who prefer void elves to not look like a copy of blood elves. I like the extra edge that comes from being void tainted. I agree with your requests though. I think both are important.

I want to see them add skin tones that reflect different types of corruption. I mostly see people asking for skin tones that are basically a reflection of their void form, however what I’d really love to see is fleshy old god miniony looking skin tones. Fleshy gross slimy looking skin tones with things like teeth, or fleshy body horror thingies over random areas of the skin tone.

We need more void options, we are Void Elves after all. I love the idea of void tattoos, darker purple eyes, and yes, options for tentacles or no tentacles in the hair. As far as hair color goes, a pure white would be nice and a few colorful options as well (but not necessarily ‘normal’ Belf colors). Maybe a firey red or at least one that doesn’t have the purple in it or even a darker red color, blue/black and other options rather than grey and more grey. And maybe an inbetween type option for skin where you can have almost normal belf skin but with some purple mixed in to show the void influence.

I recently came to the Void Elf arena, and I fully support the theme of this thread. While I appreciate the balancing items being provided (ala High Elf), I personally am more interested in exploring the darker, mystic nature of Void Elves.

Bravo! I totally support all of these suggestions except the last one. Blizz did not go the ethereal route in void elf design. It would seem odd to me to add elements of that now.

Ah I added that because someone else suggested it. I think since Void Elves interact with ethereal that they would come to understand some of their mysteries, and who knows what would be possible at that point. Maybe void elves lose some of their limbs in transformation and require ethereal bandages? I think its a cool idea.

I wouldn’t be opposed to the idea, but I would still like to see a fully ethereal race and/or character customization introduced to the game.

I’d love to see your ideas implemented, OP. More customization is always a good thing.

-Void crowns and jewellery for both men and women

-Longer hair options and beards too, both with and without tendrils.

-Natural eyes colours and Void colours like purple, black and orange

Those are the only things I really want from Void Elves, so anything else would just be a bonus, imo. I really want to see some natural stuff for them too, though. If blizzard are giving us High Elves through Void Elves, they’d only need to give a few more options at most. Once that’s done, the rest of the resources should go on making them more Void-y.

You can have both. Its just there won’t be any normal white skin or normal brown options for the Void Elves in terms of Skin Tune Customization of being a Void Elf. Which is why I say in terms of the Voidy Skin Tunes. Plus I think having different hair colors that is kind of like Blood Elves but more darker wouldn’t be that bad. It’s just you won’t be having regular light blonde hair which is why I requested a Darker color of Blonde.

Also if it comes down to this. There might be options where the Players would choose being a Normal Void Elf to a Void Elf that has already lost his or her’s mind to the void that ended being Truly Void Tainted. I know that not all of the features of High/Blood Elves might not come into the Void Elf Race. That’s why after High Elf features I want to see other side of the coin for Void Elves to being completely different to the Void Tainted options.

Blizzard listened!!! Thank you Blizzard!! We now have grey skin tones with the blue tint taken out! In addition to blood elf skin tones… these will look so great for mogs!!

Edit: Reading the preamble… we are also getting more faces. They just haven’t been released yet. I hope they cure our sameface syndrome but we will see.

it bugs me that they couldn’t be bothered to keep the traditional void elf undergarments.

Indifferent to BE customization being given to us. I want more alien/old god looking stuff. I would love n’zoth eyes like the toy or idk give me some tentacle voidy tattoos or something.

Allow me to leave some art here. This art IS NOT MINE. But… well I wonder what people think.

I am particularly fond of the last one. I’ve brought these images up before and was wondering if I could ever find them again. Lo and behold, I somehow managed to do so!

I need all of this.
Especially the all tentacle hair styles.

I’d also really like to see holograhpic / pink colours.
They’ve got the tech to do holo with the nightborne tattoos now, so…

I’m digging all of that so hard. It’s just a few tentacles removed from DnD mind flayers, I love that art so much. Ty for sharing

Yeah no problem! I saw that art in passing once and every time people talk about wanting void elves to actually be more voidy/monstrous (and by proxy, more cool looking, no offense to those that like high elves but… yeah void elves are far more interesting as VOID elves to me personally) I think of that art.

Heck, in like… what, half a year? I’ll be able to draw such things and might try to do so for some void elf concepts. Though I’d be doing it for San’layn concepts primarily, and Blood Elf that has more variety, I do like void elves too so it’d be fun to consider more voidy-like art for them for sure.

Okay… that’s good.

My personal dream is to get that long sephiroth like hairstyle blood elves have.
And at the end of the hair tips it would blend into a galaxy like appearance

This was my only real problem when they gave them the blood elf options. Now they need those plus actual void elf options which oddly are currently missing. When/if they do get them they will have more options than everyone else and that doesn’t seem very fair, especially to other allied races.
