Void Elf-High Elf Customization Thread

I think the high elf options represent the high elves of telgorus rift. Perhaps these particular brand of high elves are also void elves.

Chop chop on that lore reading, buddy, might help you avoid headcanon, but the cherrypicking, as it’s clearly intentional, would persist, yes?

Those are just wayfarers with no canon behind them. Until blizz decides to do something with them, that’s all they are.

And even if they are turning into Void Elves, well, they’d be turning into Void Elves, meaning they’d cease to be High Elves, or High Elves that honor their fallen.

Okay. I am not that knowledgeable about helf lore which was why I was kind of guessing.

Basically, elves are the Eevees of WoW.

We’ve seen what magic infusion does to them. It changes them to something completely different, the best example outside of Void Elves would be the trash mobs in Sunwell Plateu, those are a good example of what actually happens to Thalassian elves who have been actually affected by Fel.

And those are no longer Blood Elves, but categorized “Fel Blood Elves” (A bit of a mouthful, just call them Fel Elves Blizz).

We don’t know if or how the new process for “voidification” would work for new Void Elves, but regardless, it would be safe to assume (yes, assume), that they’d still go through some biological changes. Ergo, why they wouldn’t be whatever branch of High Elf.

Or they just learn to harness void magic.

Well, there’s just not a lot to the lore concerning void elves. We do know about the incident that transformed the first group of void elves but we don’t know how they have recruited more or what the lore reasons behind the new skins. We just see elves studying in telogrous rift. That seems to be enough.

Doesn’t make them Void Elves.

Alleria isn’t just a high elf wielding void magic. She took a void essence into herself to become something new.

Blueberry Void Elves just had a different void infusion process… one that was forced and uncontrolled.

Which kind of goes against what Void Elves are, because, you know… the part you want to ignore so badly… Void.

If certain options like hair colors make sense for that race in lore, then they should add them in IMO.

Harnessing the void doesn’t make them less void xD

  • Spatial Rift: Tear a rift in space. Reactivate this ability to teleport through the rift. 30 yd range. 3 min cooldown.

    • Spatial Rift: Rip a hole in space and time, transporting you to the targeted location.

  • Racial Passives:

player void elves are void infused elves that have undergone a physical transformation. they are not ‘just learning to harness void magic.’ your racials drive this point home. those npcs are there so you can fanfiction w.e you want for your void elf but you are a void elf. danuser confirmed what many suspected those npcs represented. youre not getting unique void themes and a normal blood elf option and vice versa for blood elves. neither is getting an option to look 100% identical to the other. theres literally no point from a holistic view of the game, if you want to be a blood elf, then play a blood elf

Just like headcanoning doesn’t make this any more true.

You sound like you don’t have an argument, so you’re just trying to treat the other person as unreasonable.

I do. You just ignore it.

Please, explain how “You sound mad” is a point against the fact that a void elf is an elf infused with void energies and not just an elf that knows void magic??
