Void Elf-High Elf Customization Thread

He pretty much technically said they are from high elves, but are not high elves.

Please explain how you went from “Void Elves are pretty much another flavour of High Elves” to “Void Elves are from High Elves but are not High Elves”.

@Greatbrae-dalaran

Irony of what, not wanting a carbon copy of a race on anotehr race that people grew to love as they are? Or the irony is littterally flashing a certain fingure to fans that disagree with you?

And yet, here we are, already with:

1. Void Elves already been added as of patch 7.3.5
2. Customisations that came into Shadowlands.
3. Devs stating on the reason why we have been recieving some customisations for Void Elves
4. Devs saying customisations are an ongoing process and more is yet to come.

Want me to go on?

@Greatbrae-dalaran

No attempts here, we know it’s what your doing.

Requesting for more High Elven customisations so I can play the Alliance High Elf fantasy? It is basically clear on which direction Blizzard is going, as “quote” to what Ely has said:

According to a dev interview Ion gave several months ago, Blood Elves were originally unintended to have blue eyes in Shadowlands, but later on that decision was reversed following team discussions. If the art department was involved, what was the reasoning that led to blue eyes being added for Void Elves and Blood Elves?

This is another place where there was a race, High Elves, in the game which hadn’t really been represented on player characters. Blood Elves were the closest, but had felt green eyes. It was an opportunity where we had a number of elven races, and we could tie it back to their roots, letting players choose where they want to align and what fantasy to play out. We did have a lot of discussion about it, ultimately we might do more in the future, but for now we’re providing the option to have a few High Elf customizations available.

Oh yeah, remember this quote from Ion:

@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.
