I get that, believe me. And to be fair, I would prefer unique colors for Void Elves as well instead of copying and pasting them over from Blood Elves. But I’m afraid that’s what devs would do eventually, cause it’s the easy route. Look at how they gave us regular skin tones. :-S
This is something most of us wanted in the past. Maybe we were too naive to think they’d design a new model for High Elves. We also discussed the possibility of having Half Elves instead. I was okay with this last suggestion, in fact. But then Void Elves were announced, so our suggestions were basically thrown out the window. lol
Well in the end (and in my opinion, of course), feelings is actually the only legitimate reason to be against High Elves or Void Elves with natural options (or any other suggestion). Lore can always be retconned sadly as seen these last years, so arguing purely on the basis of lore, to me, is quite frankly a waste of time.
But the way someone feels shouldn’t be questioned ever. I get that there are many people who value faction races being visually discernable from one another, and I find it reasonable to voice your opinion on the matter, even if it’s against it. And you in particular have actually contributed with other suggestions, and Izzabelle as well with a few nice mockups. I appreciate it.
Regarding natural hair colors, I just want any sort of shade of a natural color. It doesn’t need to be the same as Blood Elves. In fact I wouldn’t mind that natural hair colors were tied with Void highlights, for instance. In fact, I think those options are quite cool. And if we could further customize those Void highlights, that’d be even better.
I saw some mock-ups of natural colors given with ombré shades or even void lowlights, etc. I find those to be a good compromise, but then it opens a whole new door of other races also wanting multi-colored hair. I think trolls are the only ones right now that have a highlight?
Yeah, for gameplay purposes, that’s how it would work.
Let’s just agree to disagree I guess.
That’s true. I guess Void Elves would only be able to choose the class skin instead of the regular normal Paladin option.
The projection is big here.
I don’t mind pushback. Like I said, it’s okay that you don’t like the idea. You quite literally questioned if “I had a say” on suggesting class skins, meaning that you do not think I have a say on it. And I do, we all do have a say on anything we’d like for this game. Whether we like what is proposed or not is a different story.
It’s funny cause people who know me know that’s how I am in real life. lol I tend to see the positive things in life. I understand you think I’m this evil hypocrite trying to make other people’s lives miserable. I understand it because of the heated discussions and troubles both sides have had in the past, where I’ve been involved. I did apologize for that behavior of mine, several times by the way. In the end and as you grow up, you minimize and relativize many things after you lose somebody you deeply loved, so yeah. There’s not much left I can do other than keep posting what I deem appropriate without violating the CoC. I can’t do much if you wish to continue thinking of me that way, that’s your choice ultimately.
Void Elves do not have a monopoly on the Void only because they are Void Elves. I’m not sure how to explain this any clearer.
The idea would be a Void Knight class introduced as a class skin tied to the normal Paladin class (it’s not a Void-infused Paladin). But Midare is right in that, in order for Void Elves to have access to the class skin, they should first receive the normal Paladin class. So I’m no longer sure how that would work. :-\
On the paladin. Which has 0 to do with the void. Especially on a class skin which you need to accept won’t be on as default, which would mean we would haver light tossing void elves, and if you do not know, void is this games “darkness” magic, which is the opposite of a paladin as stated in the games lore.
And this is all without getting into the nitty gritty of how void magic is used vs. Other magics. You can’t do with the void as easily and readily as you could do with light magic and vice versa.
You have an actual source on this or are you just drawing more headcanon from a vague WQ?
Cause that doesn’t happen.
Pretty sure that was only a player made thing.
I’d be curious if you do find anything though.
Yeah did that one a lot.
Nothing like what you said is happening there except that they are using blood magic…
No blood knights are being taught… They’re being empowered by the rituals but that’s all.
Theres also no link to the San’layn there.
All of this though. The things you see playing both sides rather than one.
He has no relation to the SC.
Kinda wish they’d utilize the glyph system for almost all abilities like that.
More flexibility and more use for a profession.
Not sure what that particular posters issue is. They’ve been weirdly hostile since they got here…
That one often seems to want drama.
Umbric for Warchief!
What? The Alliance could do with a Warchief.
Don’t return it.
Just makes you look like a fool.
Too many go eye for an eye here.
Thormus isn’t very good at proving his points though…
Muir does pretty well even if I don’t agree with him on every point… Even Lore is far better than Thormus.
Dude… That’s an avatar not that actual person. Lol
This is why I lean more towards glyphs. Riftblades have warrior abilities with some void looks to them.
Some of the ones in my thread have interesting promise.
The white blonde with tinges of copper in its roots and tips for instance.
And I’m not one to like the natural colors on void elves but that one manages to be both unnatural and I think close enough to make someone wanting to be a high elf content at least.
I pointed out the quest and the names of the mobs, San’layn are revealed during the alliance quest line, sylvanas is brokering sone deal with them that ends up getting them killed (by shandris i believe)
How do those names justify claiming they’re blood magic users?
Rank, randomly applied mob name, or just a signifyer of unit doesn’t suggest in any capacity that they’re being taught to use blood magic when it’s blood mages literally empowering them in the same place.
Nah, I believe it was MrGM from Twitter who datamined it. Unfortunately idk how to search the history of a specific user twitter so it would take a lot of scrolling to get back to 2020/2019 where it popped up
That others here remember tends to give some truth to it. Maybe I’ll try when I’ve not been up for 3.5 hrs after an exhausting 12 hr shift @_@
