It was just a suggestion, I have removed it now.
It does seem like a bad idea to remove anything from a group that already possessâ it.
Otherwise youâre giving leeway for others to request removing skin tones from Void Elves.
Thank you so much
I like the new original post, all of the suggestions are nice!
It didnât because devs are not interested in changing Belvesâ physical appearance. Not because lore does not allow for it.
Time is completely irrelevant here. The first generation of High Elves mutated during the very journey on boat to the Eastern Kingdoms. It didnât even take a year for them to change.
Sometimes it takes longer, sometimes it takes shorter. It depends on what devs want to explain on a given moment.
You guys should remember this is a game based on what devs think is cool or not - lore is not a Bible written on stone. Thatâs why we have a myriad of lore contradictions and retcons.
It didnât because the concept of magic changing them was never a thing until WCIII for Night Elves and then later expanded in WoW.
If they had any desire to make it a thing they would have a long time ago at this point especially given Trolls to Night Elves and Night Elves to Nightborne.
There is no basis to think that the Sunwell will at this time or has in the past changed the Thalassianâs.
And again, my Voidwell idea isnât a well in the proper sense. Its just harnessing a Void Storm that exists in the Telogrus rift. Plus its primary purpose would be to change Thalassians into void elves by providing the void essence necessary for void elves to be void elves.
While I definitely wouldnât support the removal of anyoneâs options, I do believe that the additions of exclusive colors could help reinforce distinction when it comes to jewelry.
Give the Void Elves starcursed gems and the same bronze color that they currently have for their jewelry, and give Blood Elves Holy and Blood gems and a more brighter reddish gold for their exclusive colors.
More options for everyone
Not against that at all myself.
Though Iâm also not big on the jewelry in general⌠lol
Honestly might wear something on this toon if we had a nice Blood Gem to represent the blood magic from MoP and those golemsâŚ
(Fenelon)
Me neither, I consider it more of an afterthought when I create a Blood Elf or Void Elf as theirs feels underwhelming, though I do actually really enjoy Night Elf jewelry, and would even like to see them get more too eventually, including some more Highborne looking stuff.
That would definitely be a great fit
They would also be great for a classic black and red Blood Knight mog, or even an Undead/Sanâlayn look.
Such a color would do wonders for Blood Elf aesthetics
What?
Seriously? The initial change was the loss of immortality but what canonical source do you have for their mutation from Highborne to Thalassian on a boat ride? Not headcanon, real canon.
Saying âYeah but they can just do what they want.â, while true, doesnât mean that attitude doesnât lead to steaming piles of crap in terms of continuity and story. Which it obviously hasâŚand does.
Current canon was that it occurred some time after making landfall on the Eastern Kingdoms but before the establishment of Quelâthalas and the Sunwell.
Its most recent iteration of that lore was in Chronicle.
Reminder that people are throwing temper-tantrums over people wanting the same hair colour as their racial leader.
I definitely agree that trolls should get Volâjinâs hair color.
I rather like the Night Elf jewelry though I was hoping for more Shenâdralar stuff⌠More of their jewelry I would not be against.
Also hopefully a model toggle for bigger thicker Night ElvesâŚ
I want my Druid of the Claw from WCIII. lol
I agree.
While Iâm less sure if I want Dark Rangers/Sanâlayn (actually pretty damn sure I want Sanâlayn as their own AR) as a Blood Elf thing or a Forsaken one I would not be against that if it came to pass.
And his damn beard!
Ah, a beautiful man.
Love Umbric.
Yeah, they push more people away doing that. Thinking they hold a monopoly on common hair colors is quite absurd.
Ye I feel like they need more hairstyles and to be able to be paladins and look more like high elves.
More hairstyles would be nice.
I hope not.
Donât get me wrong, paladin is a great class and all but doesnât fit void elves lore.
Unless they add a new spec from the void⌠Though even thatâs not a great way to do it. Imo.
Someone in my thread suggested a new class built around melee and void⌠That was interesting.
