Void Elf-High Elf Customization Thread

Blood Elves are High Elves and that fantasy is Horde.

Magnificent-wyrmrest-accord · May 31, 2021, 2:22am

yea those 4 added over the last 17 years

and ofc the actual race being playable too. such a tease

Fenelon-wyrmrest-accord · May 31, 2021, 2:24am

I just want more void options…

I’m a fan of blizzard finishing the black hair option our npcs have and I’d love to see a nice unnatural white for them.

Like so white it just looks like someone forgot the texture white.

But otherwise bring on more tentacles and more mouths.

Sledgehammer-wyrmrest-accord · May 31, 2021, 2:25am

…Didn’t you used to be a lady elf? Not that I can complain. I’ve gender swapped enough toons since it became a freebie.

Anyway, I’d bet you one donut, gently used, that I can find more that 4 high elves in Stormwind alone, who’ve been added in the last 4 years.

Delexania-moon-guard · May 31, 2021, 2:26am

ill go in game so we can group and screenshot and put everything into context for you if want

Sledgehammer-wyrmrest-accord · May 31, 2021, 2:26am

I really, really want a neon blue with a white streak and a gentle glow effect.

I’d also like to see some “void corruption” effects that are more uneven and splotchy, instead of just “We dipped an elf in blue paint”.

Lannisterian-tichondrius · May 31, 2021, 2:26am

Could you I’m rather interested to know if they are even named or unnamed

Fenelon-wyrmrest-accord · May 31, 2021, 2:27am

That sounds nice.

I’m not as much a fan of the splotchy kind but I’ve seen it and I wouldn’t be against it.

Sledgehammer-wyrmrest-accord · May 31, 2021, 2:28am

Does Valeera count for this hypothetical ELF HEADCOUNT?

She’s the only one I can think of who is emphatically a blood elf and also Alliance aligned.

Delexania-moon-guard · May 31, 2021, 2:28am

theyre almost certainly talking about the elves that only appear after you unlock void elves. or the 2 non canon flavor portal npcs holding a portal to a dalaran in the past where rhonin and arthas are still alive

i only count ones that cant be argued about. like elsharin and that one easter egg in the keep

Fenelon-wyrmrest-accord · May 31, 2021, 2:29am

I don’t think so… She’s technically neutral…

She only has loyally to the Wrynn name otherwise she’s not big on horde or Alliance.

Sledgehammer-wyrmrest-accord · May 31, 2021, 2:30am

I think a more uneven application in general would really help sell some of the void looks. I know Blizzard mirrors most of their textures (which is one thing that’s pretty fancy that they’ve changed for some of the new looks). But nothing says “slowly being overcome by corruption” like mismatched colors and blotches.

Magnificent-wyrmrest-accord · May 31, 2021, 2:31am

alliance also have at least 2 goblins standing around. but no one ever asks for those guys

Sledgehammer-wyrmrest-accord · May 31, 2021, 2:32am

Which are new, blueside additions!

If they wanted to add Dalaran NPCs without ADDING MORE DAMN HIGH ELVES, there’s plenty of humans in the Silver Covenant they could have used. Or, again, gnomes.

If they didn’t want to add high elves talking to the void elves to Stormwind, they could have done what they did with the Lightforged Draenei and leave them off on their own.

Bliz chose, deliberately, to add more high elves.

Fenelon-wyrmrest-accord · May 31, 2021, 2:33am

Don’t say no one.

I wouldn’t mind another cartel joining the Alliance.

(I’m kidding I think goblins on the Alliance would be weird and lame)

Sledgehammer-wyrmrest-accord · May 31, 2021, 2:34am

Dude. MY DUDE.

PLEASE YES.

I would love a blueside goblin. I have more goblins than short elves already.

I’ve made no secret of this, but I think if it’s lorewise in the faction, we should get to play it eventually or some version thereof. Mostly ogres and forest trolls, but also taunka (a customization option that should have happened), jinyu, and so on.

Moonys-moon-guard · May 31, 2021, 2:38am

She is infused with void magic. Void magic takes on a form like you see as the void elf proc that deals more damage and turns your body pure void.

her normal form looks like a normal elf because the more control you have the more you can suppress it.

you learn all of this while doing the void elf story line and its the soul factor of why people ask for normal hair and skin colors. They made it like that lore wise.

you are trying to bypass lore to make it where her uncontrolled void form is her true form when it ISNT.

Warcraft is a lot older then WOW. models don’t matter but lore does, high elves were alliance and the only reason they used the night elf model was because it was there to use in classic. This lore goes before blood elves existed.

“Blood Elves and Void Elves, Void Elves are void infused and void tainted Blood Elves aren’t.”

correct! but the more in control of the void you are the more you can suppress it until you need it. that is why…alleria windrunner doesn’t look voidy unless she wants too. (once again her PURE void boss form never happened b/c that was a vision of n’zoth of what was to come if he wasn’t stopped)

you learn ALL of this in legion and the void elf story to get them.

Guzzle-barthilas · May 31, 2021, 2:38am

Why? Nightborne are closer to blood elves than night elves. They started from the same population, whereas night elves were separate from both.

Sledgehammer-wyrmrest-accord · May 31, 2021, 2:41am

Tyrande is from Suramar. I… think Shandris is, too, but my “look it up” level is low. It’s less than a generation of separation.

Now, you could argue that night elves would speak a low class version of the base language… (which would be a great filter, btw, as long as it’s broad cockney urchin), but it’s still the same language.

Lore-herod · May 31, 2021, 2:42am

You might be a bit confused, or maybe you just didn’t provide enough information to clear up what you mean. Nightborne didn’t come from a population of Blood Elves, they came from a population of Night Elves.

Here’s even a picture of before they evolved.
