Official High Elf Discussion Megathread

[Yarathir]

I have to agree with this.

Some blood elf players have an amazing sense of entitlement and in the face of void elves getting something basic such as hair colors, which is just changing one RGB number and want things like new customization options and sanlayn as a "compensation". It's completely outrageous. They act like Nightborne aren't getting a bunch of new options and night elves are not out there acting entitled about it and demanding "compensation".
Actually this is the only time in the history of this game that i saw the devs actually giving something alliance players asked for.

Get modest. The devs don't owe you anything.

It's really hard not to take pleasure in Blood Elf tears when a lot of Blood Elf players are so petulant about it. If there's any group that's good at being overdramatic and petty, it's that one. And they have the gall to make fun of Night Elf players for "complaining a lot."

It's obvious what people mean by san'layn, and it's not night elf model on the Horde. You already have it on nightborne and zandalari male. People want their dark ranger/risen elf fantasy, rightfully so. We have such NPCs since WotLK, and sure, they got DK undead skin tones, but also their own red yes. Playing DK is not an answer, because DKs can't use bow. DKs are not spellcasters.



Argus Wake is an organization affiliated with Burning Legion. You'd openly welcome allies of the Legion to the Horde... but somehow, you can't stomach undead elves who broke from Lich King's grasp and decided to fight alongside their people.

well I think it would be great to give more customization to the DK.
in any case creating a new hero class might be fine too.

I'm fine that the these cannibals are part of the cannibal society that has aesthetics and lore as a model of personalization of that race, not blood elves. I do not think it is difficult to understand that what I want is to keep the lore, the aesthetics and the theme of the blood elves as it is and not add something that is not part of our racial identity, something that is part of the racial identity of the forsaken.

nightbornes are still one of the races with the least customization

and I see more players of the alliance wanting playable sanlayn I am discussing with the players of the alliance here for that very reason. sanlayn should not be blood elf customization.

To be fair, if the Nightborne do get those adjusted eyes, that's a bigger feature than most races got in 9.0, especially bigger than some copypasta skins and hair colors.

hahahaha that just shows us how flawed and pitiful the state of the nightborne is.

In a sense. But other than the artificial value some people ascribe to it, copypasta skins, hair colors and eye colors have never really been a big thing. Any Void Elf fan who doesn't care for High Elves might in fact feel short-served.

It is understandable, but the ones who asked for things the most were them. those who want more void options are very few in the official forums

Yeah, it's almost as if adding uncorrupted options to a VOID race over actual void ones was a mistake. Like why bother making AR's, who are clearly supposed to be different from their parent race, look exactly the same as them.

What should we get next, green skinned maghar or mechagnomes with zero cybernetics?

At most, velves should have only had access to regular hair styles and colors and maybe a very PALE purpleish skin option. Hell pure skins with corrupted limbs would have been fine. As long as a void elf actually looks like a void elf.

But no, now you got discount/fake alliance high elves that require add ons to truly immerse yourself as one. Unless you're a pally player or use their heritage armor and/or heritage mount.

Which is a shame. I feel like the High Elf thing was kind of the elephant in the room that needed addressing, but personally I want more Void/Old God in my Void Elves after this.

It was addressed in TBC when quel'thalas elves were made playable. Too bad they were on Horde. BFA introduced horde kul tiran humans and the aliance has goblins in SI 7. should that mean they become playable too.

The truth is between the obnoxious helf fans and blizz lackign a back bone, one of the races with the most potential for expansion in the lore were given redundant options instead of doubling down on void.

Imagine if LFD got regular draenie options too....

That would be great, actually.

Like they are getting this very patch?

[Varx]

There's no way you're seriouse...

Also what about green maghar or better yet, freaking mechagnomes with no cybernetic enhancements what so ever.

[Kyriani]

I think they might have been referring to the tail length options, and hair adornments.

[Yarathir]

Literally took the exact same tail options from reg draenei.
Draenei got jewelry for their hair and horns too. (inb4 "noooo it doesn't count because the shapes are different!!!)
What else is there? Oh yeah, skin recolors, which 4 of those are pretty close to reg draenei ones.

Again, not touching on anything particularly new and unique to them.

Close is not the same as exact,

Also, please show me a draenei with lightforged naaru plated tattoos that are an effect of the lightforge process.

My god, please just stop embarrassing yourself with this pedantic bullshit.

Your comment was "imagine if LFD got regular draenei options." They literally are. Now please stop posting for the next 5 years.

Yeah as in looking like a vanilla draenie.

Love how my logic just aggravates you since you know im right.

Dude, can you make an LFD look EXACTLY liek a regular draenie, yes or no. It's a very simple question.
