Void Elf-High Elf Customization Thread

The thing with High Elves is that they would’ve been perfect as an Allied Race, because their story, like all other Allied Races, was already told across the lifespan of the game. There isn’t a reason to take High Elf lore/story any further than it is.

That’s why I’m not concerned about Void Elves not getting more story in lieu of more High Elf content. Between the two races, one’s story is unfolding, and the other is sufficiently covered so that the race needs no more than window dressing for the sheer sake of being represented going forward.

I can see that viewpoint. I also more or less agree theres not much more reason to take High Elves into the future storywise…

I very much hope to see where Void Elves are going though.

@Solarion-wyrmrest-accord

What I’d like to see in the future (at some point, not right away, I’m well aware other races, allied or core, still need more work) is a dedicated Void Elf pass that focuses on two things. The first, is including more void themed customization, and the second is making sure customizations going forward can fit both Void Elves and High Elves.

I’m less interested in the second bit but the first bit would definitely be nice.

On the off chance you haven’t seen yet heres my thread about Void based options.

You’ll see that I have linked many helf velf cross items along with more void ones.

Void Elf Customization Thread (Ascension of the Ren'dorei) (Part 1)

(Header provided by Hyperspàce) [image] [image] This thread is for those who want to talk about the Void aspect of Void Elves and the customizations they’d like to see with them. I know, high elves and all that, while some of these options in my list below are possibly going to apply to high elf customization, they are still on the list for their application to the void theme of Void Elves. On the to…

@Solarion-wyrmrest-accord

As an example, a tentacle toggle. There are some hairstyles without tentacles that could look more void-themed with their addition. Some hairstyles almost work for the High Elf thematic, except for the tentacles. Furthermore, this allows for new hairstyles to be added to the Void Elf race that could be clean and very High Elf themed on their own, but easily made to look Void Elven with the addition of tentacles and Void Elven colors.

Tentacle toggle for me is a void option. We started with hairstyles that have and dont have them. Giving a toggle while I recognize is a major interest of helf pros is to me just finishing up a void based option. (There are many who disagree with me on this and I respect that.)

It expands the hair styles that we can have tentacles on and the ones we that already do can not have them.

@Solarion-wyrmrest-accord

Warpaint would be another example. We could see Warpaint with Purple, Blue, and Silver. Purple and Blue are very void themed, but blue and silver also work for High Elves. Even better, maybe a few war paint color options that have glowing void-star effects, like you see on the ground in Telogrus. At the same time I would want this Warpaint option to be copy/pasted to Blood Elves in colors of Green, Red, and Gold. Blood Elves deserve more things.

I want Farstrider tattoos to be both.

The Velf ones would be more like Alleria’s thin and winding.

the Belf ones would be more like Braveheart. Thick and strong. Much like the ones from WCII.

I’m less concerned with colors at this point but I’d be fine if they were set per side.

@Solarion-wyrmrest-accord

Scars would be another example. Scars should be a thing all races have,

This.

Full stop. lol

@Solarion-wyrmrest-accord

Something else that I want to see is Entropic Embrace customizable. I want Void Elves to be able to pick the hue, any effects like photo-negative hair or swirling star effects like Voidwalkers have, or perhaps those crystalline dark naaru wings from the heritage armor.

I can get behind all of this.

@Solarion-wyrmrest-accord

At the same time I would want this customization to include options for no change to one’s appearance at all when the racial procs. Something for High Elf players,

I’d be willing to let this slide myself. But I know a lot of folk who would be a bit upset by it.

Not just anti side mind.

@Solarion-wyrmrest-accord

Also, I want a new cosmetic racial that allows Void Elves to activate the visual effect of entropic embrace whenever they want, and last until it’s toggled off.

Don’t mind this at all. Like a Shadowform but deeper. lol

@Solarion-wyrmrest-accord

Those are things I would like to see in a dedicated Void Elf customization pass; new additions mostly for Void Elves, but which can support High Elf play, and again, copy/paste some of this stuff to Blood Elves. There is no reason a Blood Elf couldn’t have a fel-glowing scar (or even just a normal glowing scar). Lor’themar has a scar. Come on!

Sure works for me.

I’d want it to be not a copy paste to Blood Elves though. I’d hope that Blood Elves would get their pass before another pass hits Void Elves. Just seems fair at this point.

@Kitanana-sargeras

They need to just add a color wheel for changing outfit colors

That would be nice. I hear that its not that simple in WoW sadly.
