Official High Elf Discussion Megathread

You know, thinking of it, removing tentacles is.. something.

One hairstyle is literally a ponytail with a single tentacle. If they just up and remove that, that will look strange, so I wonder what they'll do with that.

Oh it actually looks super cute without the tentacle!

I am creating horde chars to spam /y BLONDE/REDISH VOID ELVES IN 9.1.5 - COME JOIN THE ALLIANCE BLOOD ELF PLAYERS - LEAVE THIS STINKY TOWN! <3
xD xD xD

I'm wondering if they aren't planning a new settlement for Void Elves + integrating Quel'thalas into Eastern Kingdoms. Why? Check out this video at the 10 minute mark:

The tentacle toggle increases my hairstyle options. Some styles look notably different without the tentacles. I can only hope that in future they also let the toggle add tentacles to the styles that don't have them so people who want to lean more into the void aspect can have the option.

I'm disappointed that black isn't one of the new hair colors, but I also think black is not a controversial hair color request compared to blonde and red. I'm hopeful that black, white, and brown are added in the not-too-distant future.

I don't know if I am delusional or not, but I think VE specific options are yet to come, and with them, black hair.

So far all the VE's have gotten is reused assets -save for eye colors-, so it really feels is just for that OG thalassian elf fantasy: all the hair colors we got are from the original colors, nothing from the DK ones, or the SL ones.

"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!!!"

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

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

Omg y'all, that's literally what's being said on the official forums



I get reminded of this laugh so much atm.

Staaaahp don't be meaaaan XD

(I hope he has moved on)

He moved on so much he hasn't posted here since the initial skin tones bit, hope he's in good health for reals. To his credit though, he did say it would take something of WoW going downhill for HE customization. Which is partly true given the state of Blizzard (and the game) atm.

That has been in the game since BfA i believe. I found it like one or two PTR's ago and made a thread about it but no one cared. xD

[Yarathir]

Huh. I figured it'd look a lot weirded without the tentacle. Actually kinda cute, yeah.

Sadly, I know blood elf players too well.

Really? Well it would still be pretty cool to remake Quel'thalas and have a little corner for the Void Elves. Then they could have a warfront between the two (not like BFA warfronts, just a battle line and no-man's-land in the middle).

[MyWholeLifeIsThunder]

It's actually weird how superfluous the tentacles are to most hairstyles. You can take them out and most look right.

I think the only one that looks odd is this one, where the hair looks a bit floaty (same for the male with the four tendrils on the chest)

[Rhlor]

pretty cool!!

[Candy Cough]

This legitemately pisses me off because now there is 0 difference between blood elves and void elves besides paladin, Which you will eventually get

"We just want more elves on the alliance"

"We just want the same skin colors"

"We just want the same hair colors"

"We just want the same classes"

If they are gonna do that. Give the horde Nathanos style humans!! Absolute lunacy and a desperate attempt at getting people to play the alliance. Nice giving the other faction the same race. Might aswell declare blood elves neutral like the pandaren and they you go

Never mind the racist Garithos I guess

alterac humans for the horde
I've been asking for them for years

[Candy Cough]

Yeah

Hell, either that or gives us Nathanos style humans

Come up with some bullshit excuse like Sylvanas keeping the forsaken ugly because she is insecure and wants to be the prettiest person among her people. Makes sense seeing as she gave the only person shes attracted to an enhanced apperance. Thinking about it Blizzard hates the forsaken model. Derek proudmoore uses a human model, so does nathanos, so does Calia and Sylvanas uses a blood elf model. The exception is Lillian which they basically said she's gonna be replaced when the best next thing comes which I can gurantee you is not using a Forsaken model.

Gimme "re-used asset" black hair now pls! :P

actually the process to create nathanos in human form is not something simple you have to use the power of a valkyr and sacrifice a human

I know which is why I said come up with some bs excuse

they retcon stuff all the time, they might aswell retcon that aswell since they are in too deep

I think it would be more possible to create undeads like calia

Yes!! This!! Nearly all high elf supporters also support this! There’s no reason to not have the human model on Horde side at this point. They work as either Alteraci humans or Calis or Nathanos style undead.

It’s never been the Alliance or high elf people arguing that only one faction should get cool stuff. It’s always been the Horde complaining about it. High elf fans have been quite vocal that they’d love the Horde to get stuff too.

that is a lie almost always people told me that humans should be exclusive to the alliance

I think only one player from the alliance supported him my good friend Mace if I remember correctly

[TheFirstOnes]

Finally. Alliance “High Elves”.

[Ardenaso]

I always wanted to play as the Blackthorn Bandits who helped Sylvanas; and this I want to play for the Horde

to be fair literally the first chapter after the Blood Elf campaign shows that there's still High Elves on the Alliance https://wowpedia.fandom.com/wiki/Jennalla_Deemspring

also, I wouldn't use Garithos as a reason for them leaving the Alliance; the Blood Elves literally have zero beef with the Argent Crusade Lordaeronians - who are the closest and direct descendants of Garithos' New Alliance Remnants, and Garithos was never brought up to them not even once. I'd say Garithos or no Garithos: the Alliance still abandoned Quel'thalas and left them at the mercy of the Scourge, Amani, and Wretched for 6 years. I'd think it's more to ask why are the Alliance High Elves still Alliance.
