Official High Elf Discussion Megathread

LMAO, I thought they were going to give white and black and avoid blond and red like a plague, but they did exactly the opposite, but doing this was probably the easiest way since they're just copying Blood Elves stuff again.

The official forums are going to melt!

[Vaedan]

Be honest, most of the alliance players asked for blond

Well, I'm not saying it's bad to get 3 shades of blonde and 2 shades of ginger, but more people were actually interested in both white and black colors which are both well in line with emo/goth style.

Anyway, happy to see these implemented. I'm also happy for new Nightborne customizations.

Reminder that this is just a bone thrown at the dog. This is not the actual overhaul.

LMAO imagine being this deluded

Wait a sec, where is black hair color? Even NPCs have it. Kinda weird, but ok...

That's what gets to me! Like I'm going conspiracy mode and believing they will just toggle the "NPC" black hair on lol, and that's why we just have 5 colors instead of an even 6.

OMG !!!

AHHHH YESSS!!!

- - - Updated - - -

instead of copypasting Blood Elf hairs they could've given them Kul Tiran blonde hairs to be at least different from Blood Elves

That's the thing tho, this further makes all VE assets reused BE ones, which I do think that in the long run this means specific VE customization, even if it's the 3x3x3 method:

-With all the AR's getting revamped, not its evident VE's aren't getting anything "new".

-No new customization options were planned for Shadowlands; that had led me to believe that AR's would get their pass on 10.0.

-These got fast-tracked because of backlash. I think the VE specific customization options may be related to next expansion, so introducing them earlier might be downright spoilery, but most likely it would be because it's related to the passage of time itself.

Really happy to see some of these changes coming, and that they appear to be giving hairstyles a toggle off tentacle option. I was somewhat surprised with the hair colours, I expected for them to keep the ginger/red for Blood Elves and go light blue/white for Void Elves to keep the warm/cold feel they each have. I still would like to see a plain black hair colour and a dark brown maybe if they're willing to do red.

In terms of other things, I still suggest:
- Tattoos and Warpaints - Tribal Warpaints for Void Elves, Runic Tattoos for Blood Elves (similar to TBC box art)
- Red Eyes - More for Blood Elves than Void, but both could work
- New Hairstyles - Allow the Void Elves a few normal looking hairstyles that don't look scruffy/abnormal.
- Dark Ranger skin colours - Blood Elf exlusives
- Blue Eyes with white sclera - This isn't a massive change, but purple eyes currently in game look so much better.

Let's be honest most of us love this BUT this makes it even more visible how stupid it was to not let void elves be like alleria in the first place, right? Anyways, can not wait for this. I am sooo excited!

I mean that's what I've been saying since the beginning.

It took 4 years.

2 dogshit expansions.

An entire fucking lawsuit from the government.

For these people to finally give Void elves the options they should have had since the start (we are still missing the black hair btw).

I mean... Yaaaay... I guess.

[BaumanKing]

I wonder what kind of shtick will helf haters have now? "These elves don't have black or white hair, so they're not really high elves?"

[Yarathir]

"uhmmmm you turn purple in combat even though 90% of rp is non-combat.. haha.. take that. Also, your name says VOID elf, not high elf!!!"

[Varodoc]

They'll just say "Well the Sin'dorei have Silvermoon so they are the real elves!!11!!" while simultaneously crying that Silvermoon is a 2006 reject wasteland

[Edoll]

“Real high elves have Paladins! So only the Horde has real high elves! The Alliance just has void rip-off elves!”

[Pheraz]

I think there was one guy here... I think his name was ObeliskSOmething. Let's wait for his opinion! *grabs popcorn*
For me this whole story of "blood elves for the horde for chinese females -> 10 years later -> NOT high elves but gothic void elves for youuuu alliance players XOXO -> okay here is normal skin -> okay here you have also normal blonde hair" is ... really weird and I have the impression that something changed at their leadership. Some people got the leading voice there who said "why can't alliance players play high elves? What is the damn problem Ion?". And here we go. Common sense won in the end

Obelisk Kai when he's gonna see blond haired Alliance elves :
