I was here, thinking about switching mains to my mage, a void elf, then I decided to give another look at the new customization and it hit me that it’s non-nonsensical as to why they are not getting normal hair colors.
Let’s see - The normal skin tones, and blue eyes are heavy indicators that they are a new generation of void elves, not involved in the “half-ethereal” corruption the first generation went through, so we can assume their ritual of void infusing had more to do with absorbing the power of a void creature like Alleria did rather than being half corrupted by one.
So if that’s the case, wouldn’t it mean that most high elves/blood elves that undergo the second generation of becoming void elves would keep their normal hair colors and changing only during Entropic Embrace?

They just haven’t been implemented yet. Void elves are getting all of the blood elf customization options.

I’m not against it.
But i rather Void elves not get all the attention.
Give something to the other allied races.

No they’re not. The forum post specifically states that void elves are only inheriting the skin tones. Not the “blood elf customizations”.

Skins are the only thing confirmed.
Stirring the pot is the forums thing.

Not everything is confirmed yet. I am hoping for regular hair colors myself, but we’ll have to wait and see.

I could have sworn they were getting everything. I could be wrong. But I did see void elves using the blood elf hair styles.
Why not roll a blood elf if you want to look like one?
OH wait, thats right.
Blizzard can’t let the Horde keep their only pretty race’s looks.

(Commentary): Right now, only the skin tones have been announced. Keep in mind, Allied Races weren’t supposed to be getting any new customizations, with the only potential exception being eyes, since all models are having eyes customized separate from faces. After Shadowlands launches, more customization is expected to be added in future patches. No doubt Void Elves, Nightborne, Hightmountain Tauren, and Lightforged Draenei will be slated for more stuff in 9.1 or 9.1.5 or even 9.2. Be patient.

They weren’t. The picture is cropped and turned in a manner that hides tentacles, but all options are void elf options. You can tell because one of the tentacles is poking out from behind the arm / back of the female. Check the post again. There’s a very slight blue line of the tendril right beneath the bra strap of female #2. And the other two are the void elf versions of the parted and braided hair styles, which by default do not have tentacles for void elves.

Allera has blond hair so that makes sense.
Their hair turns white so that makes sense.
I don’t think brown would be too big of a stretch.

You’ve gone out of order. Click and read the post. It first states:
The few referring to eyes, and skin tones.
Then, it’s stated:
Void elves will inherit the skin color options. That’s all it says. It does not say they’re getting blonde hair, or anything of the sort, and the “few customization options” are the eyes and skin in that order.
If Blizzard gives every single customization option to void elves that were intended for “core races only” as we were told, the player base will have a bigger fit than it is now and the entire identity of blood elves and void elves will be entirely trashed.

it also doesn’t say “this is all we’re giving them”
and generally “a few” would mean not all, if that were all they would’ve said “here are the new customization options coming to them in shadowlands” omitting the “a few” statement.
EDIT: also, looking at your own quoted text
which would also imply that that is not all of the coming customization since it is only SOME of the new options.

Shadine, bro, just get over it. You lost this one bro. You gotta be trolling your self if you genuinely believe void elves aren’t also getting the old blood elf hairstyles. The only thing I don’t think void elves are getting are the new blood elf hairstyles

Wait, seriously? I didn’t see it, is it on WoWhead?
Agreed, I love the new Velf customization options but I really hope other allied races get the some treatment.
