I’ll be honest, the Light is as interesting as humans. It’s dull.

I don’t think it should be limited to just priests or pallies since the eyes aren’t anyway.
I’m not opposed to some light theme stuff, I just wouldn’t want it to be the only thing, or even the majority.

The kind of ideas ive seen have been like light hair aspects? So like the void elf hairs turned into light tentacles, and light stuff idk like mana hands but with light?
Again this isn’t me saying this is my favorite route (I said what that is and ive always been clear on what my favorite route to get a second visual theme is) but I wouldn’t disregard the options, I think a second visual theme is what’s important.

All I majorly wanted was the squinted eyes to at least be more like the NPCs.
And we got that, no complaints here personally. 
I want better faces still. The new ones for women all still have pretty harsh lines to them, goofy expressions, or both.

I made a list of the developer’s shortcomings regarding the Nightborne here. I’d post it here but I don’t want to inconvenience people here with the scrolling.
I think to someone who has a passing interest in Nightborne, the new additions might look major, but if you take a closer look they’re kind of basic.

I mean you could do that. I’m just saying, expanding on more Light stuff would be a shame for the cool ideas BEs could have expanded on. The Light is just…so lame in this game imo.

Basic and disappointing and not at all what nightborne players deserve.

Also some LFD fans take issue with light theme BEs have if they expand on them to the extent thats required for a second visual theme and I get it, after losing visual uniqueness its hard for me to care but like I get it.
I agree with you its not my favorite route for that reason but I’m someone who finds the importance with a second visual theme to offset the loss of visual uniqueness, as much as I want Dark Ranger stuff that I think can be worked with the way Velonara voices her view of sindorei being her kin as much as forsaken like im not hung up on that as much as the former I guess or the second visual theme I mean.
Felborne stuff is my least favorite on like my own personal bias but if thats the route then cool.
(if there are other ones idk about or haven’t seen then I’d love to see those ideas too but those are the main ones off the top of my head)

I also don’t care because folks making suggestions or even BEs getting more Light themes doesn’t take anything from me. I don’t even play off the Light theme, it’s just lame. The only plus is that it’s color theme is yellow and yellow is the best color.
Felblood is my favorite. I remember doing SW and wanting it to be an option for BEs almost immediately. It would also introduce Kael’thas fanaticism to the Horde that I think would be neat.

I feel like the dark ranger route would fit the best. I do think we should just get several new things to add to existing themes (farstriders, arcane, etc) to make up for not really getting anything new, as well as a second visual theme. I want all new options to be exclusive to belves, with void elves getting their own things later.

Dark Rangers are Undead High Elves and Blood Elves. Blood Elves are High Elves. Undead High Elves are physically the same as Undead Blood Elves. There’s no difference. I can’t see why people can’t fathom them having a connection to Blood Elves, especially considering what Velonara said of her and the other dark rangers. And there’s Lorash, a blood elven Dark Ranger. Remember the guy Malfurion decapitated? There’s literally NO reason to not implement them.
It’s kind of funny really. Most of the people dead against Dark Ranger customizations are wielding, essentially, the same arguments once used against them for implementation of high elf customization for Void Elves. Note that I’m not against these options at all. I’m happy for my friends who really wanted high elf options on the Alliance. I’m just saying this isn’t a valid argument.
I’ve seen people argue that “Dark Rangers are a forsaken thing” at the same time other people are like “Don’t ruin the forsaken”, “No more elves”, and the very understandable argument that adding a toggle would have the forsaken overrun with “hot undead elves.” Then I’ve seen Blood Elf players not want what they perceive as the pretty, pristine race be tarnished with Dark Rangers. Or lore. Considering that Sandfury trolls are enemies with the Horde and Dark Trolls consist of one last individual, I don’t think lore can be used against them.
You literally can’t win. I don’t think a fairly significant number of people should be denied an option they’ve been asking for for years because a group of people doesn’t want them and won’t use them. I wouldn’t think anyone would want to deny others options based on what they and other don’t like when the very same issue could prevent them from getting what they want.

Not sure what this means?
Light hearted joking in regards to you saying yellow is the best color!
Ah, well. Your opinion is wrong and you now have an enemy for life.

Thats fair, I like the Velonara route the best, because of the Sylvanas fan I am, and I also can’t stand Kael I’m more of a Lorthemar fan but its neither here nor there, 100% respect to any second visual theme Blizzard gives BEs.
I mean, yellow can be second best.

I legitimately think Sanlyan (I’m 99% I will butcher that name until the end of WoW) is a pretty good one to branch off of. They have a classic BE theme to em that I at least appreciate em for.
Though I do enjoy the idea of expanding on the phoenix theme a lot myself because the colors would be amazing.
