Please Add A Entropic Embrace Toggle

Then you picked the wrong race.
Which part of;

VOID Elf

said you wouldn’t be all voidy and such?

They added the pale and blond options so you can be like Alleria, who is still a void elf, but can control the void fully. She still turns blueberry when she fights.

Okay, that’s great for people who want to be blonde. If I were going for a high elf look, my character wouldn’t have blue skin. Entropic Embrace still looks like garbage.

Blood elves aren’t bloody, night elves aren’t nighty, and high elves aren’t high, so there’s no reason that void elves should be expected to be so voidy that they have to turn blue in combat. When Alleria turns into a blueberry it’s in an intense cinematic; it’s not a random proc for her that will activate if a squirrel aggroes her.

Hi I’m a void elf player and like all the new customizations, but this request is dumb.

This is a dumb comparison if you look into the reason those names are given - especially blood elves.

Blood elves don’t draw power from blood magic.

Void elves are specifically called that because they draw power from the void. Having a proc that changes our appearance once in a while is not a big deal.

This is such a weird take for a discussion but somehow it makes also a little bit sense if you don’t know much about the lore and world of the game.

Actually, Fallynn and I discussed the toggle suggestion for the exact opposite, where the Entropic Embrace cosmetic remains in effect out of combat, just under a fortnight ago. In the Void Elf Customization Thread. Ask for a proper, separate High Elf race, stop using Void Elves as your vehicle for them.

LOOK at your list of requests, and try to have one moment of self reflection: if you were to completely override Void Elves with that absurd list of requests, what makes you think you wouldn’t be outright despised by so many other players?

Take your ‘L’, and find your dignity. Petition Blizzard for a proper, separate High Elf race, and stop using Void Elves as your vehicle for them.

Am I sorry that Arthas stomped them into paste? Very.

Am I also considering a seancé and a jailbreak for the man so that he can finish the job?

This isn’t my list, this is what people usually have requested. Besides, I’m fine with the given options.

There is no room for another elf race at the moment and the only solution would be an improved character creator with races based on heritages - which is unlikely to happen within the next five years… which is why the Void Elves are used to shelter the High Elf options. Love it, hate it, that’s what everyone has to deal with.

Holy crap. Are you ten years old, or Drax from the MCU?

Edit: I don’t mean the ‘ten year old’ jab. I DO mean the Drax one, though. Stop being so literal.

My GOD, man.

Well, sorry to disappoint you, but Void Elves are still High Elves.

It is very obvious Blizzard isn’t going to add the Alliance High Elves as a separate playable race, so this is the next best thing. If you don’t like it, don’t click on these threads then.

Ok, come on dude, you’re better than this, and you know it :slight_smile:

Void Elves = an being literally transformed on a genetic level by otherworldly energy. Blood Elves = “In honor of slain High Elves, we surviving High Elves will now be known as Blood Elves”.

Your brethren on the Horde have been saying this exact thing for some time: join them.

Any Elf that has chosen to become a Void Elf, as chosen to become a new being. They are no longer High Elves, and they knew the price beforehand.

Any High Elf who has joined neither the Horde nor the Void Elves, and wants to reinvigorate their race, should do so properly. Rally your people, advocate for your own space and kingdom once more. Hijacking Void Elves or Blood Elves the way you have been, makes you no better than parasites. The San’layn have shown more honor.

Just because they’re on a third faction, doesn’t mean they’d have to be antagonistic, per se. They could seek to establish themselves as a “Cenarion Circle”, for all Elf kind. That’d be a nice new direction for them to explore, while they get back to “discovering themselves” or whatever.

Heck shadow priest look more voidy than void elves do.

This is a troll post.

Also for your information I used to post on my void elf DK I raced changed into something else a while ago.

I would like to have void elf with permanent entropic embrace look. Awesome.
And an option to turn it off for my High elves . :blue_heart::purple_heart:

What are you talking about? :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

It’s somebody’s void elf. I’m not going to be so darn petty to try to force them out of their high elf by screaming until i’m blue (or bluer) at the face at them “You’re a void elf” over and over again. They can do whatever the hell they like to it and they should be allowed to do that. If somebody calling their blood elf, “high elf” is fine with you, then somebody calling their void elf “High elf” is fine with you. Either way, just ignore what people do with their toons, they don’t affect you or really the lore since player characters aren’t particularly canon.

If we have playable high elves, then sure. They should go with that option. But no such option exists as of currently and the customization options is all they have.

Why is that a problem if somebody gets to choose customization options you dislike?..

And blizzard also says "You can also use that otherworldly engery to disguise yourself or change your appearance to whatever you want. HEck, that pretty much explains Barbers and Tmog. Yet were alright with them, but not with void elves? You can’t just pick and choose.

Well now, we have void elves that can be high elves as people wanted. Same with Blood Elves that can be high elves. I don’t see what’s the problem with void elves if blood elves are fine.

Okay… And Blizzard also tells us that you can use the void to disguise yourself apparently.

How does it make sense for an uncorrupted high elf, that fight off the horde which has blood elves, to say “already, screw you alliance, were done” and leave the alliance to be a neutral faction?.. especially since… there’s supposedly a few thousand or something of them left? :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

How is it hijacking? I mean if Blood elves get Helf customizations, i don’t see what’s the problem with giving Void Elves helf customization (outside of hypocrisy).

… I mean seriously, what did we take from you?.. :laughing: Why so spiteful honestly? Why not just ignore it if you hate it so much?..

Either way, i don’t see them trying to leave the alliance anytime soon.

Only superficially. They’ve been transformed on a cellular level, as evidenced by the change in their blood. The mental and personal changes are always discussed. They chose new lives, they got them.

It’s not obvious, and it’s not the next best thing.

Sorry to disappoint you, but no. If you don’t like Void Elves, don’t play them.

It’s really sad. Throughout those huge High Elf threads, so many of you swore that you would be happy with a few hair colorations, and a few skin colors. “It’S ALL yOu WaNteD”. At the time, I happily supported so many of you.

And now, look. As insatiable as the common demon or huckster imp. It’s eroding what little support I have left for High Elves.

I’m sorry, are High Elves suddenly NOT known for leaving the Alliance high and dry after they get what benefits them? About a generation before Arthas came knocking at their door, bearing gifts?

It’s pretty clear you all aren’t actually holding a conversation with anyone that isn’t one of you any longer. I’m stopping now.

Honestly? I started off liking and supporting y’all. Fast forward about a year, and I’m trying to find a reason to keep doing so. Between your bouncing from ‘Surprised Pikachu Face’ to High School Debate Team whenever someone says anything to High Elf fans, you all make it very difficult to like you.

Demand an actual space for High Elves, no matter how long it takes. I may find it in me to stand with you on this.

Fully 100% support this. Hopefully this is one of the next customizations Void Elves get. Even if its not part of 9.1.5 i think it will be coming eventually.

I’m sorry, are high elves suddenly NOT known for surviving?..

Why would they leave especially since… oh i don’t know, supposedly there’s not many of them left?..

“Hey, i know the horde hates us, and also have our high elves but corrupted with fel and such, but ya know, alliance sucks too. Let’s go the booty bay route and just be neutral. Nobody will ever try to kill us, right?..”

…One guy says “What did we take from you”… suddenly that means all aren’t actually holding a conversation… while dropping the actual conversation.

Well sorry for finding the idea of being spiteful over other players over fictional video game races is hilarious to me. And this is coming from somebody who was exactly like that but with Gnome Hunters, until i get the heck over it.

…Okay? And you can still support this, since this also gets voidy options as well.

Oh, but you have every reason to spite people, right? :roll_eyes:

Why not just… i don’t know, just learn to exist along with them? Plus i’m not being unfair to people who wanted void elf options. I support Void elves getting more void elf options in addition. Not as a replacement because i’m not petty and spiteful that… gasp, an allied race shares similarities and customization options with the core race.

You want Playable High elves instead of void elves and blood elves being high elves too? sure fine. You want Sal’lyan, Felblood, and Dakr Ranger options in addition? You want Voidy options, as well old god options? As well high elves (sepperated or not) have their own options as well, like in that high elf customization megathread? Sure. That sounds cool as well, bring it all in. More customization options are good after all because it allows people to be want they want to be, and design their toon however they want to.

But this spiteful, pointless hatred honestly to stop.

“We” make it difficult? We are willing to compromise on having both helf and velf options. Whether it be both playable races or both customization options. And yet you guys won’t budge on that. Infact, even want to not only remove options from the velf because “YOU ARE A VOID ELF…” but don’t do the same for Blood elves because “Oh we do have high elves, it’s called blood elves…” (ignoring the fact that void elves are also blood elves too… but i guess we having consistency is bad with you guys), and being overdramatic about it… “Oh they hijacked us!” “Oh they mugged us!” “Oh my poor blood elff, look what they did to my boy! They gave those optional customization options to a race that is already really similar to mine? Why can’t people just accept not having things that i don’t want to share?!.. Why can’t people just buy a Playstation?! I mean what’s the purpose of owning a Playstation if God of war–”

Sorry, i got a bit of a PS fanboy vibe from this.

Anyways, how are we making it difficult?.. We want both options, were not being unfair to your demands…

Okay, you go do that.

And i don’t say that to be dismissive. We lot, kind of have different ideas on what we want a high elf to be. Some are just okay with void elves being high elves. Some are okay with Blood elves being high elves (with blue eyes that is). Some want a completely new race with it’s lore and everything. And all are valid in their own rights, though not all equal.

Until the day truely happens where we finally have playable high elves that aren’t blood elves or void elves, i’l be enjoying my high elf customizations with my void elves and calling them high elves and ignore people calling them void elves. Not that it matters what my characters are anyways since my RP’s are pretty much outside of the lore.

This likely won’t happen. They implement other skintones and things to appease a subset of the playerbase through “rp tools”. There’s a reason so many rpers used to use human paladins (and still do) to rp as high elves and half elves.

I definitely doubt blizzard will give us more than one playable race of the same exact kind since there’s a trend of getting 2 of each of something that could’ve been made playable to begin with by: getting rid of faction barriers and not adding duplicate allied races to begin with.

We have “wildhammer” dwarves by making what you start initial as bronzebeard types. Or sand trolls, etc by making regular darkspear. They’ll probably stop giving us extra allied races of the same exact types. More racials means more “balancing” when we could’ve just had shiny holy draenei as a customization, and so on. People are already sick of “elf threads” anyway.

So please, stop talking down to people for literally no reason.

I find it odd that I’m more optimistic about Blizzard actually adding High Elves, than most High Elf fans. If ever they have them added into the game in both actual name and spirit, it’d be because they couldn’t sway you all with shortcuts and half measures.

What I posted is in opposition to the OP’s request for a “permanent no Entropic Embrace” toggle. It’s my opinion that it will dilute Void Elf uniqueness. The only person I even came close to insulting or ‘talking down’ to here was the guy I called Drax.

(Player that I called Drax: I hope I did not injure your spirit, nor insult your upbringing and entire heritage by referring to you as a alien superhero who is cripplingly literal and capable of invisibility).

I will stop participating in High Elf threads, including this one. I’m not here to hurt any of your feelings, make you feel low nor insult you. I’ll simply continue supporting Void Elves in their threads.

It actually doesn’t change “once in a while”; if you pay attention, it changes about once per minute, and during combat the uptime will average out to somewhere over 20 percent. Also anyone who argues that this isn’t a problem because you shouldn’t look at your character while in combat is obviously wrong. It’s only really in PvP and in the most high-end types of PvE that you can’t check your character out and play effectively at the same time; you can easily do it while doing Korthia, Torghast, etc.

Entropic Embrace is actually even worse than what shadow priests have to put up with, because not only do they have the option to use a glyph to tone shadowform down, but also because if you play shadow you know shadowform is going to be up almost 100 percent of the time and you can work around that.

There’s no way to have a transmog set that forms a color harmony with your void elf skin and with the visual effect of Entropic Embrace at the same time. And if transmog isn’t important, then the devs owe us another racial because one of the void elf racials gives us a discount on void storage (a feature that hasn’t really had a reason to exist since 7.0) and on transmogrifying gear.
