I can’t believe I spent so much time farming this that I remember the name off-hand, but: One-Eyed Chain Helm, the mail hoods. They’re actually really small on elves for some reason, but just about every hairstyle either completely hides it or clips right through. Another example is one of the newer cloth chestpieces with the super high collars: only ponytails play well with it. I’d just like a few more updos and messy buns, tbh.
Okay, but serious question: why stop there? Why stop anywhere with any race rather than just massively expanding on player choice like any modern MMO? Isn’t it good for players to voice new ideas and share what they’d like WRT character design?
Well, got me there. always been pushing for more customization options. I just wish Void elves got more void options instead of being completely replaced by High elf.
That’s fair. It’d be optional of course, but I’d really like customization that heavily expands on the Void theme particularly when the racial activates, or to have a spell to switch between Void and non-Void states like the worgen or dracthyr. I feel Blizzard’s problem right now is separating the VE design into two distinct categories and making them feel like two races rolled up into one as a result.
It’s a tall order, but it’d be really cool if the racial rather than just turning my HE customizations purple made my character sprout a bunch of tendrils and gross Old God eyeballs and the like. It just feels kinda…uninspired right now
Again, it really just trying to argue for the sake of it. And be needlessly snide about it.
Is it really so hard to accept that Alliance don’t have sole ownership on what a “high elf” is?
That you dont like the facts I presented doesn’t make them twisted.
Were high elves part of the Alliance since there inception? No.
Fact is, if you want to claim void elfs can be “pure” high elves, then blood elves can too. Since they literally are the originals.
Meaning if Void elves get any more “high elf” customisation that blood elves don’t already have, it’s not unreasonable and frankly expected to be given to blood elves too, it ain’t a one way street.
Im fairly certain they wont bother putting much effort in to druid forms when it roles out to all races.
However i really want void elf druid forms to be void monstrosities.
You walk around as a nice innocent elf looking all normal. People think nothing of you and you fit in to society like normal.
Then you start shape shifting into things like these
This but I’d add Kul Tiran and Mechagnomes to that so that every race finally has some new stuff since all four of them have been overlooked since they were added.
Facts, I’m still in the camp of if people want our customizations they should have to play our race, I mean honestly if they really dislike their hair that much like me just pick a Blood Elf over a Void Elf we have the better customizations, storylines, lore, racial sets, mounts, etc. anyway.
I don’t think any non-blue/purple Void customization needs to be a ripoff of blood elves. There’s always going to be aesthetic crossover there and a lot of that boils down to both races critically lacking customization to set them apart in culturally unique and interesting ways. Blood elf customization would be overly sparse even without Void elves, you know? I mean, how did they not give men actual beards or let us use Rommath’s tattoos?
It’s like all that actually sets them apart right now is skin tone and hair color, minus a few bits of jewelry. They could do so much better for both races.
