Remove natural velf options

[Sharagosa-wyrmrest-accord]

@Astorías-quelthalas

I am actually happy, This character died as Helf, and now if the changes are coming to have the chance to make a Dup, of this character, to play on the alliance and the horde, it would be amazing.

I would finally could use it in Stories of both factions, with my friends from either side. I see that as a win.

Aw, that’s so sweet and so awesome!

What’s being taken away from the Horde?

Sorry Shad, but I’m quoting you for this one:

@Shadina-gorefiend

The problem is it’s never enough. It’s not enough that blood elf players have gained literally nothing in this exchange of their options just being grandfathered into void elves over. And over. And over. And it’s tiring. We are the only race in the game which has had to continuously give our options to the void elves.

The pandaren are neutral before people start keyboard warrior-ing and acting like that means anything. A neutral and openly stated neutral race from the beginning is not the same thing as a Horde race (read: HORDE) being forced to give an Alliance race on the other faction all of their options over and over again when blood elves didn’t even get that good of customization in the initial wave of changes. We certainly didn’t get the kind of love night elves and orcs did. And it’s good they got so much love but other races should have received the same quality.

And before other people bring up the nightborne, the nightborne have a change in model / skeleton which is obvious in their idle and some other animations. If the void elves had received the same treatment, I would be infinitely less pissed about this whole situation.

I am tired of my race being taken out back and mugged for all of their options and then being given to another faction’s race. It is annoying beyond balls.

[Tahonto-malganis]

Obviously not, for obvious reasons…

@Baridorielor-malfurion

So undead priests can’t be a thing by your own admission.

They can sicne they channel the light with great pain, not imbued with it like paladins.

@Baridorielor-malfurion

You know, the more i see you be anti-customization, the more i think you’re just better off playing Warcraft 3.

Im all for customization, but it needs to make sense, growing a tentacle arm doesnt mean you’re submitting to the void. It could be a side effect but you still have full control, like garrosh with the heart.

@Baridorielor-malfurion

Why not? It’s not like they have been waiting for years on end and Blizzard can’t just “Flip them off” as you said. The Velf side just recently (well recently, 3 years) sprang up. For all intents and purposes, it’s just a buttpull race.

Because its not their game and if they wanna play a natural elf so bad the horde exists. Again should the horde be entitled to kul tirans or Alliance to goblins? since they have those races in their ranks.

@Baridorielor-malfurion

And you’re demanding changes that contradict that lore.

Saying V O I D shouldn’t have natural forms is contradicting, LMAO.

@Baridorielor-malfurion

That’s your subjective opinion my guy. You can scream “wrong” till your blue in the face, but you’re gonna have a tough time disproving that.

EER

@Sharagosa-wyrmrest-accord

Oh look, another fragile Horde player whining about something being taken away from them

/yawn

We learned it from alliance high elf fans.

[Solarion-wyrmrest-accord]

@Meladria-zuljin

They only get natural option cause Blood Elf got blue eyes when they said they would never give them. So to avoid too much backlash they came up with that. And people forgot about Blue eyes BE.

I’ll be honest, most of the requests for blue eyes for Blood Elves came across as disingenuous trolling. I saw very few of the people that had been asking for that eye color being genuinely happy about it. Some were, some absolutely were happy to have blue eye options, but the majority of posts I saw were people infuriated that Void Elves had received natural skin tones and additional blue eye options.

[Meladria-zuljin]

@Midare-area-52

No, they said that in 2012 in Ask CDev Round 3.

And they made a video before End of BFA with interview saying they would never cause lore wise it wasnt making sense.

[Solarion-wyrmrest-accord]

@Midare-area-52

Sorry Shad, but I’m quoting you for this one:

Still not seeing anything being taken away here. Blood Elves aren’t suddenly having skin tones or hair colors removed because only one Thalassian race can have them.

I don’t really recall any Void Elf players complaining about their race being mugged when Blood Elves got blue eyes (something Void Elves had since being added to the game), purple eyes (something initially given just to Void Elves, but then given also to Blood Elves), or blue hair (again, something Void Elves had which Blood Elves didn’t).

[Meladria-zuljin]

Yeah but VE were Blizz weird attempt to give HE to the alliance with story that doesnt fit and contradict their main reason for not adding them in the first place.

From my point of view VE are a joke race anyway

[Solarion-wyrmrest-accord]

I felt the same once, but I don’t like thinking of them that way anymore. There are people whom genuinely love Void Elves, and I support that.

The lore is a mess. I don’t think it was thought through, at all. The fact they decided that Alleria now counts as a Void Elf, created a conundrum for the race as well. Our playable Void Elves look nothing like her, and the method by which they achieved their appearance, is dangerous and possibly something they cannot reproduce. Its logical that any future Void Elves would have to learn like Alleria did (obviously substituting a darkened Naaru with another sufficiently powerful void entity). Alleria’s method is safer and more responsible, which is the only real point Void Elves have going for them culturally.

Yeah, what am I expecting from the guy who thinks that a dwarf, a human and a blood elf would all look the same if they have the same hair color

Thanks for putting words into my mouth to prove your point.

You’re the one trying to make that point on another thread, and I’m the one telling you that it doesn’t make sense.

[Zandrae-wyrmrest-accord (Zandrae)]

@Midare-area-52

Yeah

I wouldn’t bother with anyone below level 50.

[Solarion-wyrmrest-accord]

@Midare-area-52

You’re the one trying to make that point on another thread

The point I made was that you cannot steal a haircolor, because no race owns it. I never said those three races look alike. I simply stated they all have, ‘natural,’ hair colors, and that humans and dwarves were playable first. Thus, if anyone, ‘stole,’ natural hair colors, Blood Elves did from humans and dwarves.

[Midare-area-52 (Midare)]

@Solarion-wyrmrest-accord

The point I made was that you cannot steal a haircolor

Which if you had read what I said, you’d seen I’ve addressed…

@Zandrae-wyrmrest-accord

I’m usually the kind who doesn’t care what level the person I’m responding to isd, but seeing the on purpose density…

[Moyrá-nemesis (Moyrá)]

It’s no use talking about it anymore, for one side it will always be contradictory, crazy and meaningless.

I just think it’s the biggest waste of military time against what other players ask because in the end it’s up to blizzard to decide and none of us can do anything, instead of being against the players’ tastes, be in favor of what you’d like to have in the game.

[Zandrae-wyrmrest-accord (Zandrae)]

See. Such nonsense.

Indeed. I’ll never understand why anyone else devotes so much time and energy about what other people want added, rather than what they themselves want added.

[Meladria-zuljin]

Its just stupid they were saying HE are not enough as a whole to make up a race. But then add VE who make up for like 5% or less than the BE/HE population.

Dont get me wrong if people are happy its cool. For them Just saying dont use(Blizzard) a weak argument to not impliment new race while u prove u could do. I mean there is many cool races i’d like to play

[Tyrannicus-kelthuzad (Tyrannicus)]

I’m a fan of just about anything that provides more character customization options to the game. I think Blizzard vastly underestimates how much the player base enjoys being able to customize their character. Obviously, it should be true to the lore, but this is something the game needs more of…not the systems they keep adding.
