San’layn/vampyr Elf ALLIED RACE Coagulated Megathread of Ideas{Re-VAMPed} (Part 1)

Hello there, sad to hear you guys do not feel represented. I worked and asked around for months before I decided to finally sit down and write about customization,

Thanks for reaching out. To put it all into context-

The main issue people have with the council is that it feels very cherry picked and the Devs are seemingly only focusing on what they say.

And very few council members have asked for any kind of feedback from the rest of the community.

Virtually no one from any Allied Race or Customization Communities where added, and Blizzard has show zero to negative interest in either new Allied Races or Customizations.

And with the nature of the CC Forum, it feels very much like we are on the outside looking in.

and I feel I pointed out much more than just mage runes. It is a rather big list and of course, runes would preferably go to every single race/class that would fit it in lore.

On this particular subject.

Blood Elves have wanted Runes since TBC Launch as it was on the box art. It is very much a Blood Elf thing that they have not gotten and has been dangled in front of them on the Box and on characters like Magister Rommath. It’s the equivalent of Night Elf Vines.

Blood Elves got very little in terms of new and interesting customizations.

They got a small Handful of Hairstyles. They got some new skin colors. They got no unique features aside for a few Armbands for Females only that are limited in colors. They got no Subraces like San’layn/Dark Rangers/Felbloods.

So when there was mention of giving Runes to just Mages, something Blood Elves have been requesting for many years along with a request to share their remaining hairstyles, you can see how it would not be taken kindly.

Not to mention Blood Elves and Void Elves (And High Elves) want to stand out from each other, not look more alike.

To use the Night Elf Vines example again, it would be like giving them to Druids alone, or giving Warpaint to Warriors and not Tauren. Things like this should go to the races it has cultural significance for first and foremost.

Runes for Blood Elves puts their magical affinity at the forefront, lets them pick Fel/Arcane/Blood/Light themes, and lets them resemble some of their Lore Characters.

please let me know!

As Fallynn mentioned, there is a list on the second post of this thread.

Fenelon has compiled several active Customization Threads on the bottom of the Void Elf thread.

Void Elf Customization Thread (Ascension of the Ren'dorei) (Part 1)

(Header provided by Hyperspàce) [image] [image] This thread is for those who want to talk about the Void aspect of Void Elves and the customizations they’d like to see with them. I know, high elves and all that, while some of these options in my list below are possibly going to apply to high elf customization, they are still on the list for their application to the void theme of Void Elves. On the to…

And I have compiled a bunch of short list for all Playable races. (Note, it is still being actively worked on in my free time)

Grand List of Customization Suggestions

With new customizations coming and it still being a constant request for. I’ve compiled a list of the more common Customization Suggestions for each race. These are just simple list of general concepts and ideas. I try not to get into too many specifics or focus on concepts that are just unlikely. I will leave those to the individual customization threads. (I also want to give the Blizzard Artist room to do their thing.) Feel free to add your own ideas and discussions. And point out errors in …

I hope you guys read the posts and you are more than welcome to make your own posts and respond to it,

I will keep that in mind for the future.
