And here I wanted my monk to keep EE on all the time. I think it looks cool much like shadow priests

Take a shot for everytime who has to remind you that you’re a void elf. :beer:

Actually, don’t. :neutral_face:

But as long the option also comes with the option to turn it on full time, sure. :slight_smile:

Imagine getting void options :weary:

So was Blood Elves if were being honest. I mean why give the high elf options like blue eyes for Blood Elves then if were going to retain identity of the races?..

Well, ask for both then. It’s not a zero sum game. Plus, what makes you think all the chances are gone?.. I mean it’s not like Blizzard is going to be like “Alright, no more void elf options” atfer they give us the options, because the last time they said “no more customization options”, kind of bit them in the bum… :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

I mean if anything going by their history of saying “we won’t do this”, would actually kind of confirm it later down the line, doesn’t it?..

So why you said this then?.. :point_down:

…That’s seems pretty spiteful and hypocritical to say “Void elves don’t deserve high elf options, only blood elves does, because identity!”…

Why you guys are so focused on trying to control people’s wants?.. I mean do nobody think to themselves “Maybe Blizzard didn’t add any void options because we are being pretty spiteful towards the void elf players who are happy with their high elf players and also making the high elf customization options a more popular thing then those who love the options ever can…”? :confused:

Some people want to play with their Void elf as a High Elf, and they shouldn’t be shunned or shamed for liking something like that. Their just as fine as people who play Void elves, want more void elf options. And i pretty much fall into both camps. I do like the Helf options, but i also wanted more Velf options.

You will get Void options in the near future, however, the High Elf situation was way more urgent for very, very obvious reasons and it has been granted now.

It’s literally not stalking in the slightest, because our Characters are public on the internet, since that’s the decision Blizzard went with…

…Honestly… not really. Especially since their models and animations were pretty gosh darn similar to being the exact same. I can’t really say they were ever unique to begin with, aside from the hairstyles and skin color, which those get covered up by the armor anyways.

Even Nightborne has different animations and a slightly different model that immediately set them apart from Night Elves, even if you take the Horde and Alliance away.

If you have a race with a dark shade of color for their skin, it would be likely they might possibly have a darker variation of them. Because that’s how Skin pigments work and other science stuff. (i’l admit i don’t know a lot about this, so if anybody knows, let me know. )

Yes, yes, i know, fantasy, but it still sort of applies since they are going by this rule. I mean if you have a Green Orc, it’s likely to have a light Green Orc and a Dark Green Orc. Or a light pink night elf to a dark pink night elf. A light stone colored Dwarf to a dark stone colored dwarf, A Dark grey Tauren to a jet Black Tauren, and on and on.

I think having both this and the option to be visually Entropic Embraced full time would be good.

Agreed, there’s nothing wrong with having both. :slight_smile:

Plus, it will kickstart into making more Voidy options, won’t it? :smiley:

I realize this post will almost immediately be attacked or bashed. But I would like to request one more feature for Void Elves, and that is to add in an NPC in Telogrus Rift, that will allow us to KEEP the Entropic Embrace cosmetic effect ON outside of combat. (fixed).

We are Void Elves, Entropic Embrace is essential to our identity and distinction from other Elves in this game. Also, please refer to the Void Elf Customization Thread, as we want actual Void Elf customizations, not High Elf requests obfuscated as ‘Void Elf requests’.

It would require a racial rework which is why the players will likely only get a recolor option.

74

Not really? At least not from what i’ve seen with other races and such?

If so, i guess what i would be asking then is more on the lines of glowing tats or veins or something like that keeps it being separate from Entropic Embrace. Or even Add to it, by making it glow even more when it happens. Like i imagine picking an option for glowing viens, that subtly pulsate though the skin, then when it procs, the effect is now magnified, as the skin changes. As well customizating the Entropic embrace to show whenever you want it: Full time, combat only, normal (procs in combat) or Off. (While giving a full screen effect or just having it be an active buff to activate)

Is it?.. Because i honestly barely notice it from time to time. Asking it to be full time to no time would give us more control over it, wouldn’t it?.. I mean if were saying it’s essnetial to the identity.

Is that why you made your Void Elf look like a High Elf then?.. :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

Hopefully so. But, I’m in full support of all races getting as many customization options as reasonably possible as well. So, I’m not exactly going to say no without some fairly major walls being up in the first place. In this particular case, I can look at it as simply-

  • A High Elf of the Alliance that is or isn’t possibly seeking to become a Void Elf (Entropic Embrace toggled off)
  • A High Elf or Void Elf that has started/has been wielding the powers of the Void (Normal Toggle of Entropic Embrace.)
  • A Void Elf that has delved deeper into the power of the Void (Entropic Embrace turned on full time.)

And also: A Void elf that uses their power to disguise themselves a High Elf. (Entropic Embrace toggled off)
And A Void elf disguised as a high elf, becomes a void elf when they are angry (or something) (Combat only toggle of Entropic Embrace)

The entropic effect is still visual data. When it pops up, both sides know what’s happening to the character. Blizzard has to change this from a passive proc to an actual hotkey so this High Elf request can be granted.

78

I mean i don’t see this as an issue really. Other races have hotkeys for racial traits, it’s not going to be too much of a bother i would feel.

They could also do this.

“Attacks has a 12.5% chance (Crits have double the chances) to have it’s damage to be shadowfrost, and increases damage and healing by 5% for 5 sec with 30 seconds internal cooldown.”

79

We don’t ALL look like a blueberry. Behold the absolute sexiness!!

Man, I really, really like this. If only the devs were paying more attention to the forums beside their own posts.

Well, I consider Entropic Embrace to be such, as several of my posts elaborate on in the Void Elf Customization Thread. Which is why I posted a crazy number of artistic options for the effect.

The post you’ve quoted was a poke at the OP’s opening, and (hopefully obviously) not to be taken seriously. They just want to continue using Void Elves as a vehicle for High Elves. Some like it, some don’t. I’m in the “don’t” camp, sorry.

Until we get some of the suggestions that I, and others, have posted in that thread, we’re obviously ALL going to “look” like High Elves…which is also the very obvious purpose OF that thread, wouldn’t you agree? I literally want the void tendril dreadlocks for this guy…until it’s added, I’m quite stuck with basics. I, and so many others, have posted a good number of hair options in that thread…here’s hoping Blizzard even looks at the thread.

Also, yes this is an alt, my mains are Anansi and Darkhaven. I believe we’ve spoken in said thread before, on one of our suggestion posts.

It is still a small rework of a racial with pve/pve implications in battles which is the point of my posting.

81

That also works. Plenty of different ways to work it. :+1: :smiley:

Enough is enough though, at this point a core race has been 100% shafted for a bunch of entitled babies. Like we get it, you wanted playable high elves. You have it on both sides. As someone who has played this game for many many years now, I did not want my belf characters to essentially be shafted for a race that also has next to no real development. Velfs are cool with the void options, it was something new and interesting. There are lines to draw though, this type of elf should not be another pandaren type race.

Edit: If people advocated for Belfs to get the same treatment as velfs then it’d be okay. But no one does, its all about velf players only. Velfs have more options than Belfs at this point, you can literally choose to be either a void elf or a high elf, you don’t need more. A racial that barely effects anything since it’s in combat only is not worth changing. Belfs need fel options, san’layn options, dark ranger options, and yes high elf specific options that only they get because they’re the originals, not the other way around.
