There seems to be a lot of talk about void elf hair lately and I wanted to start a discussion about it. It seems that Alliance players want to be able to choose from the hair colors that blood elves have, so that they can finally make high elves the way they want.
As someone who has played Alliance since my first character over ten years ago, I disagree. I personally feel like Blood Elves should have been put on the Alliance originally, but we are long past that now. It would be unfair to simply give most of the blood elf options to void elves. It would be like giving the Horde ability to make Nightborne that look like Night Elves, it would not feel fair.
I do however like the ability to make the skin color of a void elf, the same as a blood elf, and I think giving void elves and blood elves the blue eye option was a good middle ground to land on. I think for the hair issue, there is another middle ground that could be made.
Maybe give Void Elves the ability to separate the tentacles option from their hair as it takes away from the âHigh elfâ feel. In regards to hair color, maybe give void elves the option to choose like a solid black color, that way they have at least one normal hair color to choose from.
Let me know what you guys think, hopefully this doesnt stir up too much of an argument, I know how passionate some Blood Elf/High Elf players get lol
Weâve been told through an interview these additions are to make the high elf an option through either blood elves or void elves. For that to really work in full, void elves still need a few things, namely hair colors, and better hairstyles.
I think maybe the best way to go about it would be to go for blond, black, and white. Black and white already make sense on void elves. Blond is just the most iconic hair color for them as well. Let the blood elves keep the red and brown colors. I donât mind if they even get purple from void elves as part of this.
As for Hairstyles, I think itâd be better to pull from Alliance races, race than Horde ones. Female void elves could use female Kul Tiran hairstyles as an example. Male void elves could draw from male Night Elves.
Do that and Iâd say everything would be more or less good, as far as void elves getting high elf options goes.
Should give void elves blonde hair option to be just like alleria. Blood elves deserve more though too Iâm just unsure what. Itâs not fair to them, and their new SL customization is rather boring atm.
While Iâm entirely satisfied with skin tones (hair is usually hidden by cool helmets on the best mogs), it would be very nice if Blizzard also gave Void Elves normal hair color and style options.
Everyone knows Void Elves only exist at this point to give the Alliance back its own High Elf race. You know it. I know it. All the players and devs know it. Blizzard should do the right thing and allow Void Elves to be what they should have been from the start (High Elves).
The reason there seems to be a lot of talk about it is because people keep making their own threads about it. You donât need to start a discussion about it. Just scroll down a little and join one of the 5 already going on
thats exactly what they want tho. a carbon copy of blood elves. it was never about the lore of the 5 âhighâ elves who lurk around in actual alliance territory
Not really? The funny thing is, almost all of the customization options blood elves are getting, is stuff high elf fans asked to set them apart from blood elves. Dark skin tones? Ear length options? Blue eyes? Even jewelry options were a request way back when it first began.
Itâs no wonder blood elf fans arenât happy with their customization. Theyâre getting a ton of stuff they never asked for, and none of the stuff they did ask for (dark ranger skins/eyes, tattoos, scarsâŠ)
