I think all the new blood elf customization options are ugly. All of them.
I see no sense in it.
High elves don’t need eye colors to justify being playable.
If we want to get angry about a pair of blue eyes that are not even like the High elf NPC ones, you should have been barking at Blood elf Death Knight eyes all those years ago.
We don’t need to police any sort of customization nor do we have the right for.
And no… Mok’nathal and Ogres are different enough.
Nowhere near as similair as high elves and blood elves.

Thank you! And nowhere in that statement was anything even remotely stated as going to happen. So as I said, examples thrown out there randomly in his head that people would recognize, but absolutely nothing set in stone. It was all hypothetical. But people latched onto that obsessively. Not surprising.
Doesn’t matter who was talking trash to who. Nightborne fit in better with Belfs than they did with Nelfs due to their culture and their obsession with power and studying Arcane.
The entire point I was making was that regardless of what Helf fanatics tried to twist, absolutely nothing pointed to anything and they just hyped themselves up.
But… I’m not going to continue down this rabbit hole. I try to stay out of Helf crap as much as possible.
Y’all have a good day.
Nah, I got what you were saying and it’s basically what I was saying, which is why I deleted my post.

i agree, but the helfers who’ve been following this are suddenly realizing the devs just arent gonna make alliance playable high elves. and they feel like idiots for holding out hope. for latching on to the maybe laters, and anything’s possible, stuff.
i realize what you’re saying is logical and blood elves getting blue eyes is logical, but the devs deliberately made alliance high elves with blue eyes as the only thing that visually identified them as alliance high elves if you couldnt be bothered to notice the red name or orange name, etc.
problem is i’m a belf who studied a form of magic so deadly, even lor’themar was like … get the flip out. and nowhere is tyrande going… egads, the sundering as regards void elves
High elves and Blood elves were just re-colors of Night elves in vanilla.
Even in original Warcraft.
Yet, we magically made blood elves their own thing.
And even a void reskin of said blood elf model.
It really does not matter if it’s just pair of eyes.
again, i agree. thats still not the issue. to a helfer, giving blood elves the only thing that idenitifed an alliance high elf, as an alliance high elf, means that the devs have just given the horde, alliance high elves. in other words, they told alliance players they couldnt play alliance high elves, but now, the horde can. thats how it reads.
Oh, don’t get me wrong, I think Void Elves being allowed into either faction was incredibly stupid from a story standpoint.
Visions of N’Zoth pretty much straight up confirms that they shouldn’t be trusted.
It’s pretty pointless imo.
After the stupidity that is the allied race system and it’s justification for playable races, we can actually do anything we want.
Paint Blood elves rainbow in every part of their body.
That don’t mean anything,
sigh. why didnt they just do for alliance high elves, what they did for nightborne - et. al, change up the stance, make them visually different, problem solved. honestly, they’ve practically ruined their own game with all this nonsense.

you and i are talking the same language, except for the part where you dont seem to want to understand the complaint. we know its not an issue. the helfers who are unsubbing over it, dont, because they’ve been told color is super important, thats why void elves cant look anything like alleria cause human skin colors are exclusive to blood elves.

- Because belfs are literally helfs with different eye color.
- People would complain if they added helfs that didn’t look like how they imagined helfs to look like.
It would have to be a copy-paste of belfs with blue eyes and people would still complain about that.
Best solution is for the remaining high elves to leave the alliance or all die out.
15 year veterans of the game are unsubbing over it, not because blue eyes but because they’ve been told color distinctions are so important alliance cant have alliance high elves, but now, the horde can.

Most of the high elf fans have said they’d be more than fine with void elves being given pink skin options, but sure, whatever you say.

That’s actually hilarious.
Imagine paying 15$ a month and buying all the expansions for 15 years literally just because you hope one day you might get blue eyes on your character.
That’s a solid meme.
we actually wanted all eye colors, like everybody else has. in fact, we wanted normal eyes instead of the glowing eyes. we came up with ways to make them visually distinct from blood elves
but honestly, i think the devs really think its a great sport to degrade, humiliate and insult alliance players in general, not just helfers, so alliance high elves being given to the horde, is actually not a surprise for me. i realized it back in legion. its just a truth coming out in full view of helfers, who are saying, holy crap i feel like an idiot.

I do, and i think it’s redundant.
Then they are shallow and this was all about wanting “Horde’s pretty race”.
We won’t miss them, if they are willing to quit over small things like these then they were not in it for the long haul.
Agreed, remove Void elves.
Don’t want anything to do with them.
People only tolerate them because it’s the closest to the real thing.

see, alliance high elves are not the horde’s pretty race and no i dont mean that they arent the same race, rather that they are on the alliance. thats why i said alliance high elves. but the only thing that made them visually alliance high elves was a single color. those were the rules established by the devs. not helfers being weird about blue eyes but the implication that alliance is not allowed to play their own high elves and their distinction has been given to the horde, instead.
Yeah, but why police customization like this.
We both know the eyes are different and the only similar thing is “blue”.
We already know races don’t need to be “different” enough to be playable.
That rule is long dead and buried.
