Void elves can look like blood elves but not vise versa

Haha, after all the drama earlier this actually made me laugh a lot, well done dearie.

The blood elves should have lightforged customization because that is in line with the lore and would clearly differentiate us from the void elves.

This is probably the most sensible path forward.

I’d even go as far as suggesting that it’d be interesting if the Blood Elves, as a collective, were shown to be trending away from Arcane-based fields and towards Light-based fields (obviously, like Warlocks, Mages would still exist).

Rommath as an offensively-minded priest, slinging Light with purpose. Sounds awesome.

Lightforged customization for blood elves

I think it’s only fair that blood elves have unique skins. Blizz gave the alliance all the skins of the blood elves and now it also gives hair colors as well, clearly there is no thematic or visual difference between the blood elves and void elves. now the void elves have two different visual themes which would be the normal thalassian and a void theme, but the blood elves the main race only has the normal thalassian. Since the alliance is receiving customization of a horde race it would be nic…

I think it’s the best idea

Elves don’t really matter when it comes down to it.

This is what matters

Also, it was a good set up line I couldn’t let go to waste.

You’ve been taunting me throughout the forums, that is harrassment.

If you call this taunting, then jeez, flag my post. I don’t care. But before you do, shall we put all the taunting that you have done on the forums towards the Pro’s, starting with this thread:

Instead of giving void elves natural hair, consider adding half elves instead

Adding natural themes to void elves harms the theme of the race, and can ruin the immersion of others that does not want to use them by those around them that does use the themes. Instead I propose adding a new race to fulfill the themes presented via high elves through half elves. The future of the qual’dorei is mingling with humans and having human/elf children which I dub as half elves. They in appearance should had shared charectistics of both races, but not full on of either. I think t…

Fine, then I’ll reply to you.

What do you want from the Ice Cream Truck?

[Celekolnir-moon-guard (Celekolnir)]

Do we even know if they have two different themes yet? There hasn’t been any lore about why they look a bit more normal now, and we still don’t even know what the natural hair colours are like(inb4 5 shades of black). Right now they customizations represent a less corruptive state of the Void affliction and that’s it.

things start dying down then someone comes along right after they bought a tanker truck with 11,000 gallons of gasoline pouring it all over everyone rofl.

According to Blizzards art director:

According to a dev interview Ion gave several months ago, Blood Elves were originally unintended to have blue eyes in Shadowlands, but later on that decision was reversed following team discussions. If the art department was involved, what was the reasoning that led to blue eyes being added for Void Elves and Blood Elves?

This is another place where there was a race, High Elves, in the game which hadn’t really been represented on player characters. Blood Elves were the closest, but had felt green eyes. It was an opportunity where we had a number of elven races, and we could tie it back to their roots, letting players choose where they want to align and what fantasy to play out. We did have a lot of discussion about it, ultimately we might do more in the future, but for now we’re providing the option to have a few High Elf customizations available."

So they exist so you can roleplay a High Elf.

[Celekolnir-moon-guard (Celekolnir)]

Ah, I actually completely forgot about that. I guess they do have two different themes then. Hopefully these new hair colours are going to be a good representation of that. I’m so f***ing excited to have Kelek finally look like a normal thalassian elf

[Callistus-wyrmrest-accord]

Yeah. It’s frustrating trying to make a high elf with, “Blue, Light grey and light green.”

Hair styles are still going to be limited. But… it isn’t like Void Elves have ACTUALLY gotten a customization pass.

They did have to do some work to color the under-wear blue. But if our only customization changes is, “We added colors.” it’s pretty sad.

[Saradots-sargeras]

I am just so happy I can finally be a step closer to being an Alliance High Elf, something which should’ve just been given to the Alliance right at the beginning.

[Callistus-wyrmrest-accord]

Yeah. Giving Elves the Pandaren treatment would have made more sense. They’re already ideologically split apart.

They also have more lore in game about being ideology split apart than the Pandaren. A huge miss.

Déjà vu...

[Saradots-sargeras]

Oh well, atleast we got this instead… Still wondering who sat Ion behind a computer interacting as an Alliance player with all the High Elves in the game?

[Saradots-sargeras]

So those are where my bins disappeared too?

[Celekolnir-moon-guard (Celekolnir)]

It’s a shame this is the only good hairstyle male VEs have Hopefully the natural hair colours will remove the tendrils too. If not I’m still going to rock it because f*** having to choose from being baldind or emo, lmfao.

[Saradots-sargeras]

@Celekolnir-moon-guard

Hopefully the natural hair colours will remove the tendrils too

I actually hope so too. I still also want to see more hair styles for the Void Elves too. Shame we’re limited to what hair styles we have.

I love that clip.

Sadly it reminds me of drifting stretchers around corners taking dead COVID patients to the morgue when it was all hands on deck this winter.
