Also add eye patches to the general customization.

They shouldn’t lock accessories to men and women anyways.
It feels not only lazy but insulting like the plan later is to go in an act like they did something great (ie: solving a problem they created) to look like they do something when really it’s just minimal scraps they arbitrarily left out because they wanted to save something to look like they did something later

Anyways, I am just hear to request only for Blood Elves that Females get some longer hair styles. It makes no sense that Males have longer hair than females.

They should really consider going back and agreeing on pieces that should just be general across all races and then adding race visual themes if they’re warranted. Kind of like how while we have more septum nose rings, Tauren are the only ones with the half nose piercing. (at least if I remember right they are) Gives them that classic bull look.

I havent’ seen this art before… but personally think Blizzard hasn’t played with the phoenix theme for Blood Elves enough.

Lots of fun colors to play with here.
Also in terms of the onyx skintone for LFD request. The new Paladin mount you’re providing them kind of has the tint with its horns.

I wasn’t one that really cared if we got blue eyes. But everyone complains on this forum about one thing or the other. To act like it’s just one type of poster that does it is very insincere.

Phoenix was the gaudiest on the already gaudy jewerly.
They did play with it, just under the misogynistic lenses they promoted at the time.

The necklace is gaudy, I’m more talking about color themes tho.
I kind of want to see what that purple would look as a highlight for BEs tbh.
We propose both the classic “Talon of the Phoenix” color degradation effect and the color degradation scales seen on the basic Felo’melorn artifact skin to be used on feathers and hair (great input from Terranox if my memory is right).
You know cause the more colors the better as far as tmogs are concerned.

You’re suggesting that the Shen’dralar revive the traditional dress and stylings of the Highborne despite them being 10,000 years removed from that era.
It would make zero sense for the Shen’dralar to revert to their past Highborne style living within Night Elf society that is anathema to those ways. A society they were only admitted to only after the Night Elves were assured the Shen’dralar were humbled.
As per usual, you give someone an inch and they’ll try to take a mile. Maybe it was a mistake for the developers to make mages available to Night Elves…

That would actually be wicked.
There’s nothing wrong with wearing themes of ones heritage. Someone asking for basic jewelry options to reflect that there are Shen’dralar isn’t taking anything from Nightborne since both themes have evolved and changed from one another.
Kind of how this robe:

Looks Highborne inspired. I don’t see Nightborne themes at all with it or it’s recolors.
But back to the phoenix theme…is there any fan art of such things? Cause I feel like that would be really neat to see someone conceptualize.

They tried to reason NB can have a second theme too.
Meanwhile they have a major IOU on Blood Elves still? So I don’t see the logic in trying to forget that in a hypothetical we steal your theme maybe you’ll get something in return.
We’ve seen those arguments before. Now BEs visual uniqueness has been lost, we have no additional RP tools like the race our visual uniqueness was lost for to give RP tools to, and they have the audacity to try to now claim future additions to our main theme as shareable.
And now want to talk about doing the same for NB?
It’s no wonder why Horde players are defensive over this idea of once again giving something with the idea maybe something happens in return, if not I’m sure we’ll all be here with the same people who said maybe we’ll get something go on about how they got nothing and before we get anything they want more.
Seems like a good example tbh

Indeed wicked. Thank God the Helpers haven’t jumped to poach that suggestion (they should focus on the Starcursed stuff, that one has great potential and it’s as unique as they come).
The starcursed stuff is some of the coolest suggestions I’ve seen for Void Elves. I adore Fens thread since it opened up so many things I didn’t even think of existing for VEs.
I do wonder if they could do particle effects that are a bit more tame than A’lar but similar?

Kind of sounds like it could be the basis of a cool questchain similar to the Night Warrior.
And just for good measure on the Claw of the Phoenix for folks that don’t know what it looks like:

There’s no basis for making Highborne stylings available for the Night Elves, as I’ve explained ad nauseam. It’s not coincidental that the developers haven’t explored that aesthetic for them, either.
On the subject of jewelry, the female Nightborne and Night Elf have two nearly identical chain necklace options. There’s your regal option. This isn’t a matter of just jewelry as you naively suggest, nor would it end there if requests for Highborne styles were granted to the Night Elves.

It’s disingenuous to think that adding jewelry like:
https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/wowwiki/images/3/37/Tyrande_Whisperwind.png/revision/latest?cb=20161128003254
In any shape or form takes away from the Nightborne.
It’d be as insane as me to say that adding chains to any other races hair outside of Draenei takes away a theme from the Draenei.
They’re chains/filigree. Basic jewelry.

Trying to say “jewelry doesn’t belong to one race” but then half the people try to throw up jewelry as what BEs got and that’s just fantastic according to them that’s our impactful options.
Which is it jewelry is for all races or you support BEs getting more like a second visual theme because BE options are not only lacking but their uniqueness was lost. (This isn’t at you just in general it’s frustrating to see) hence why I find it so funny now when speaking on NB and wanting to steal that visual theme jewelry NB have shouldn’t be unique it’s not that important, yet that’s not what they try to BE fans the majority of the time is it.

It’s also disingenuous to ever bring up jewelry as impactful options for BEs yet people whose arguments you’ve supported often do so, so why then should NBs visual theme be infringed on?
Jewelry is so impactful and no one can understand why BE fans feel shafted when it’s a BE fan expressing arguments for what BEs should get.
But now jewelry isn’t impactful and NB shouldn’t have a right to better represent their own visual theme than NEs?

…what? Me conversing with folks and agreeing with them on separate things doesn’t mean I’m against more BE jewelry. What?
What?
Jewelry is impactful…what? Filigree isn’t a Nightborne only feature. Chains in the hair aren’t a Draenei only thing.
To say the Night Elves (of all races) shouldn’t get additional filigree options as jewelry would be ignoring their use of it often.
Are flowers in the hair something only Tauren should have

No I’m saying people whose arguments you’ve supported have tried to throw BE jewelry in peoples faces as a disingenuous way of saying we got “so much” and that’s our impactful options.
Now you say jewelry isn’t impactful when it comes to NB fulfilling the Highborne theme?
Which is it were the people whose posts you had liked previously saying things to have a “gotcha” at BEs fans wrong or is it correct because it’s confusing now to me, and I’d love to know where you stand.
Also earlier you stated its hard for you to not call people out when people have obvious faction bias, and then followed it up when it was showed to you the person you were defending was more deserving of your responses aimed at Naughty I think, then you said “you skip over those”, so I find some of the stuff contradictory this jewelry is just the latest thing, because arguments you have supported have tried to play up jewelry as so impactful when it comes to BEs, now you’re saying jewelry isn’t impactful when it comes to stealing the NB visual theme?
