Anyone notice that suddenly the Alliance effectively have the entire Blood Elf race, except with a higher starting level and better racials than their actual faction get? Blizzard's damn Horde bias again.
Simple.
Best Elves
Hentai Elves
Discount Best Elves
Cracker Elves but red
Cracker Elves

I can see that happening down the line tbh.

Well, practically speaking they got a body texture.
And (for now, it seems) blonde hair, all blood elf hairstyles, the racials, the underwear (Blizzard has already said Void Elves with High Elf skins will get Void Elf underwear)
In essence, what they get are blue eyes (which Blood Elves were also given) and blood elf body textures.

Void Elves do get purple eyes, though.
Which is pretty bueno.
Hey I was just talking about people saying this yesterday, funny to see it here now!
But nah Blood Elves still keep some uniques y'know!

Shades of blue, purple, violet eyes? Hell yes I'm all for it!
The Alliance gets the Horde's most popular race. The Horde should get the Alliance's most popular race in return. Alteraci Humans for the Horde!
I make Warcraft 3 Reforged HD custom models and I'm also an HD model reviewer.
After sleeping for the night, I’m still hyped for this. Void elves being purple was one of the biggest WoW disappointments I experienced. If this is all we get, I’m happy! But I really hope void elves get light hair colors too. Silver, white, and blue would be amazing and still keep them separate from the blood elves gold and red hairs.
I don't think they do, unless an entire race is boiled down to eyecolor and hairstyle. The blood elves very much have their own style and flavour, background and lore. In a "dead giveaway" way, when picking specific transmogs, faction affiliation and tooltips are the only things that differentiates blood elves from void elves as things stand now.
Yes I agree!!! Silver/white/blue would be fine options. Frostfencer Seraphi has the light blue hair, would be nice to get!

For some people, an entire race was boiled down to a skin tone spectrum. Thankfully they're no longer around.
I won't argue the fact that certain skin tone accessibility is nonsensical to see in Warcraft, but that's coming purely from a lore and storytelling point of view. Then again, Blizzard hasn't shown much consistency when it comes to their own lore.
World of Warcraft is in a creative free-for-all as things stand now and the lore has taken the backseat.
I'm loving seeing all the comments on the wowhead post about the news, "finally High Elves are playable!!!" just goes to show how big a part aesthetics plays to the majority of players.
No one cares about the details like Blood Elf/Void Elf racials or Dwarf/Wildhammer racials. Because the bigger thing is how your character is going to look when you're afking in the capital hub all day!
Finally, this deviant obsession with blue-colored blood elves may end. Thanks, Blizzard.
These are very nice!!! And yeah, the only thing I know for sure is a black/raven hair color is coming as it was showcased on one of the Void Elf male hairstyles.
The 2nd one from the left, the smexy dark skin one that's a new hair color Void Elves don't currently have!
I'm going to play around with some options myself and try to get as accurate as I can too for the time being.
