Official High Elf Discussion Megathread

[Kyriani]

Thank you! But as far as new hairstyles go, Don't have beta so I cant!!

But if someone could export the new hairstyles as .obj with initial pose only in WMV I could work with that!

Yeh, tbh I think they dropped the ball a bit by making The Silver Hand go so readily back to the Alliance during BfA. I do like the idea of class organizations being neutral, so maybe it should have never been the Silver Hand on the first place :/

Well I will keep my fingers crossed that you get beta so you have access to all the models to play with!

[Traycor]

On different news, finally ported the Human male hairstyles into the VE model.

Note, this is all very clumsily done; I am very inexperienced when it comes to animation so basically I just created a mock skeleton for the head and dropped the hairstyles there -so then they follow the pose of the model- and with very minimal editing so it took like an afternoon overall -think the most editing I made was adding the VE nape to some hairstyles and remapping the bangles to use the VE bangle texture.

Human hairstyles on high elves would be a great way to reflect their integration into Alliance culture and give them something distinct from blood elves.

That being said... I think all hairstyles should be available to every race.

Indeed; be it as Void Elves or High Elves, either is closer to humans culturally -but tbh it works perfectly for NB and Belves

That being said... I think all hairstyles should be available to every race.

Also most certainly agree. Honestly? Hairstyles should work like a separate geoset and much like 3D helms do -with physics-like Lor'themar and Valeera's hair.

That way every hairstyle is literally just a "helm" that's made to fit each race.

Thank you! ! Fingers crossed hehe!

Didn't add the Hairstyles that already came from BE or already have a VE equivalent (foxtail) or the bald ones. Cause if I didn't spent enough time on the hairlines already, less so would on half bald head hairlines XD, and would anyone want them?

Yes gimme some balding elves!

[MyWholeLifeIsThunder]

Yes gimme some balding elves!

Hhaha I might! I do have to fix the shoulder weight on my manequin so the hair looks like it's falling on the shoulder first!

[Alixie]

He looks good! But... kinda looks like he woke up in a hurry and forgot to put on his pants. :P

Lol. Thanks! Im tempted to post his other outfits...
I freaking love that velfs will have a bunch of skin tones to chose from. I still like the purple skin tones, even thought its over represented on Alliance.

I have this dream, and this dream has happened since I was like 15. That I wake up, and are going to work, or any other kind of thing we normally do. Without knowing that I don't have pants on.

Then you lucid dream the ending where you strut around like it was a purposely done fashion statement.

[Thalassian Bob]

Ah! are you counting

1-2
3-4
5-6
7-8
9-10

Or

1-6
2-7
3-8
4-9
5-10

XD!!

Nonetheless, I think the first one and the ponytail are my favorites.

I went with the counting method in bold! xD

So, yeah, I really like the ponytail and the Conan long, straight hair next to the dwarfy pigtails one!

Hi guys,
I'm new here. I really love the Queldorei.

I did this hair, I would like an opinion on it.
I think the idea of ​​dreads is really cool, but with the elegance of Quel'dorei.

[WhiteWolf]

Blizzard will add proper High Elves one day.

Really nice!

[Aldo Hawk]

No they haven't. Blood Elves and Void Elves have fair skin customization and blue eyes. Please get out of fantasyland lmao

Honestly your response is so devoid of meaning and out of touch it makes me assume you are projecting.

Strippling was wrong, those gatekeeping the High elves were wrong, end of story.

Love the decoration at the back. Great work! I've seen some people requesting more hairstyles like this, especially since high elves will have the option for darker skin tones.

This style would go great with a high elf ranger!

[Ardenaso]

These fearless Half-Elven women are masters of survival and wilderness exploration. Trained to hunt down renegade Orcs and Trolls in the wildlands of both Azeroth and Lordaeron, the Rangers are a force to be reckoned with. Being Half-Elven, the Rangers are often avoided by members of the High Elven stock. However, these crafty females make their home in the wilds and seldom feel the need for the distractions of camaraderie. Rangers are expert marksmen with the longbow and carry specially weighted bows and magically enhanced arrows.

Silver Covenant and Highvale are half-elves confirmed?

[Rhlor]

Silver Covenant and Highvale are half-elves confirmed?

Rangers were originally meant to be a hero unit of the Human Alliance. They were described as such:

If I remember correctly in the early development of wc3, it was proposed to add that unit as a half-elf, because the high elves were going to be a faction separate from the human faction and they wanted to leave the human faction a hero that looked like alleria. but in the end the human faction had the blood elves and kael / blood mage as hero because content was cut

Why is it that blood elves are getting 200 jewels, but the void elves are getting nothing new in that department? Wtf Blizzard...

Because the allied races aren't the focus right now. They'll only get minor stuff before 9.0. Do not expect anything major. Maybe some new textures (eye, hair, skin colors, maybe tattoos) and some inherited options from their "parent" races.
