The second hairstyle in the third image that seems to be used again in the other images, the short crewcut one, that’s a really good short hairstyle. I tend to prefer those more than longer hair depending on the character concept, and it’s nice to see attempts to show that elves don’t have to look like Legolas.
But I also do quite dig the 80’s hair-dos, funny enough. They look like they came straight out of a He-Man, Thunder Cats, or She-Ra cartoon, and that’s honestly actually cool to me. It’s a cool aesthetic, lol.
I sometimes think Warcraft takes a lot of inspiration from that as a setting, because the 80’s and 90’s were a pretty “metal” era.

dang. i hope blizzard uses some of these for blood elves when they go back and add new customization for the core races. i hope it goes beyond just eye customization
I’m not a big fan of 80’s hair, but a few of the hair styles are cool. There are around 4 I’d use as Alamara (more than there are void elf styles that I like), but none of them is particularly interesting for me.

I had few problems with their Hairstyles. Feels kind of not really Quel’doreiish.

I definitely think there should be a more evenhanded mix of wild and civilized hairstyles, because I don’t think the former would really fit the Mage aspect of the race.
But man, I would definitely go for that crewcut if I was making a Warrior or Hunter, perhaps to move away from the Legolas stereotype. And also favor Survival spear-fighting over bows to further divvy the trope up a bit more. (Not that I think wanting to play Legolas is a bad reason at all, however.)
EDIT: On another note, I am curious if they had ever made mock-ups of acceptable hair colors for High Elves. I kind of like Void Elves since they can have something close to red hair, even though it’s a purplish-pink, but I would actually like some variant of red hair for High Elves too.

The metal is too strong for you.

Just quickly, but I do want to just mention that asymmetrical body tattoos aren’t currently possible with the way models are currently texture mapped. (It’s the same issue as the Tabards in that there’s only half the texture, and the other side of the body just uses a flipped map of it.)
However, asymmetrical face tattoos are possible.

Yeah, that could still work. WC2 Elves had asymmetric facial tattoos

Wow, reading a lot of pent up aggression here from people that don’t want alliance high elves. (A faction that already exists but just isn’t playable)
Why are they SO invested in preventing people from playing something that already exists in the game? That’s like people who wanted zandalari prelates to not be playable even though they already existed in game. I just wish they got a new class, but pally is still good!

because they are bland and uninteresting in an mmo already bloated with them. theres only a few of them left anyway at most. they dont bring anything new to the game either
high elves are now blood elves. the alliance elves share the exact same lore. we already know their history and they wouldnt bring any new classes or a compelling new narrative for the alliance
there are way more popular possible AR candidates as well, like the jinyu for example
they are bland
not to me and obviously many more people (high evles #1 most requested race/allied race by a large margin on these forums)
there’s only a few of them left

Way more popular? Would you please kindly point me to the Jinyu megathread? Oh wait? It’s not there, much less at the top of the freakin’ forum
A lot of potential ARs don’t have the same amount of history and pedigree in Warcraft lore that High Elves do. Void Elves? Practically non-existent until BFA. Highmountain Tauren? Introduced in Legion. Jinyu? Never heard of them til MoP
High Elves? Been there since Warcraft 2.

Where’s their Megathread then?

tbf, Jinyu seem like a pretty obvious AR. could be why aysa is in the stormwind embassy and vereesa is MIA in both the embassy/bfa
LOL, someone is disconnected from reality.
On the other hand tbf, at least this explains you following me around in threads today trying to imply that there is only a tiny population of people that want High Elves in the game and that this is somehow a new issue.
