Void Elf-High Elf Customization Thread

New interview with Ion

This is the important bit for a lot of people-- and it’s good not only for helfers that feel it’d be insulting to them, but it’s important for belves in a way most people don’t touch on in that having blue eyes would be a regression of their story. It would be to go back to pretending it’s pre-Scourge days, without the destruction of the Sunwell, and without its reignition with the power of the Light in it.

@Ion Hazzikostas

I would have many words of caution about what you’re currently seeing on fan-sites. It’s possible to take any textures and assets and apply them to any of the models and that’s what we’re seeing done, but just because it’s possible to apply a texture to a model does not mean it’s something that is going to be available in-game. I can confirm there are no plans for blue-eyed blood elves , as that eye color does not make sense for blood elves as they have evolved. So take what you see in datamining with a grain of salt.

This interview was one time that has happened, and it created a lot of fuss in the Horde department too. Because it definitely didn’t connect to his BFA interview about “horde is there for you”, and was a completely different statement during the time.

Either way, these arguments have been going for more than 5 years, and it is still heated conversations because devs just like to play around with pros and antis feelings.
