Official High Elf Discussion Megathread

Still waiting for Blizzard to give fair skin and blue eyes to Void Elves.

Hi.

[MyWholeLifeIsThunder]

What I would do if it were my choice, would be to basically set it up sort of like this:

Human ___________________________________ Orc
* Stormwindian ___________________________ * Orgrimmaran
* Kul Tiran _______________________________ * Mag'har

Elf ______________________________________ Elf
* Night Elf (Kal'dorei) ______________________ * Blood Elf (Sin'dorei)
* Void Elf (Ren'dorei) ______________________ * Nightborne (Shal'dorei)

Dwarf ___________________________________ Troll
* Bronzebeard ____________________________ * Darkspear
* Dark Iron _______________________________ * Zandalari

Gnome __________________________________ Goblin
* Gnomeregonian _________________________ * Bilgewater
* Mechagnome

Draenei __________________________________ Tauren
* Exodaran _______________________________ * Thunderbluff
* Lightforged _____________________________ * Highmountain

Worgen ___________________________________ Undead
* Gilnean __________________________________ * Forsaken

******* __________________________________ Vulpera
******* __________________________________ * Vol'dunai

This would lay groundwork for any subraces blizzard may want to add in the future. Each primary race would have a drop down menu to show the subraces for that race so as not to clutter up the race selection screen. It's a bit uneven currently since vulpera aren't goblins and thus need their own category. But if Blizzard wanted to start adding in subraces like the gilgoblins, they could do so under the goblin category for example.

I don't think they have to be even, but I can see how that would give the impression of inequality hehe. Nonetheless, love it!

I mean this is technically an edit lol, but very close to reality!

That is blizzard's mistake and it cost awesome new possible void options.

Yeah, and that's why we have a thread with over 1000 posts here on MMOC and countless other threads on the official forums, and also plenty of media/art/concepts literally begging for more void options for void elves and more void based races, such as void tauren, void orcs, etc.

The only mistake that Blizzard made was adding a lazy race such as Void Elves, instead of making a new model for a playable race of High Elves.

Here you go.

[elbleuet]

Here you go.

Still a void night elf.

[MyWholeLifeIsThunder]

Here you go.

Wait, is the dressing room working?!

[Yarathir]

Wait, is the dressing room working?!

No. Sorta.

Most of it is still bugged, but I managed to get this working. Nightborne, Void Elf females and LFD are a mess in different ways.

Small detail but the High Elf haircolors actually make the jewelry on males change color and look similar to how they look on Blood Elves. Kinda cool.

I imagine the same goes for the females, as well as their jewelry.

Ptr is up!!!!!

But using the barber crashes the client

Character creation works though!

[Pheraz]

Called it. They are literally just using the BE hair texture, just like they are doing so with skins!

Either they leave it like that, or add the bangle to the jewelry texture

"Alterac humans despise the Horde so you can't have them playable"?

the Syndicate isn't the only Alterac thing, you know

[Feril]

itt Horde players sneething because the Alliance finally gets something that was taken from them in the first place for no good reason

I remember the shock when BC came, and we had to suck it up 'cause now they're a gift for the Horde girlfriends! Even though they were requested by Alliance players since WoW's beta (and Horde players couldn't care less about them)!

Now someone else is having to suck it up, slowly and steadily, and it's baaaaad!



So... the checklist is now: voices, racials, name, classes and presence!

thought I could share this from the Retera Model Studio discord server, made by Stormkey#0308

Auric Sunchaser ...

I'd wager Auric's already left the Allerians and was already neutral and mediating between the Blood Elves and the non-SC High Elves since Kael'thas' fall
