Official High Elf Discussion Megathread

[FlubberPuddy]

I'm considering reorganizing the OP, putting the contents into the next post, and arranging the OP for new high elf customization options since they are being designed/created right now.

That would work, it can include suggestions like turning hairstyles with tendrils into non-tendril braids for instance. We can get some updated artwork in now that we know its happening and we can be mindful of taking into consideration what we're getting to better direct ideas for High Elves.

It may be better to hold off till the options are up on the alpha though, just a suggestion.

Apparently Void elves are getting real high elves blue eyes. Blood elves' new eyes appear to be "turquoise" rather than really blue. Take it with caution Things may change as it is only beta.

[Frenchvince]

Purple eyes are available for velf in character creation.

[baskev]

Yes, I know that.


That statement means the looks is what is they consider important. Not that the race is just the looks. I mean, Ion has repeatedly talked about High Elves as a separate group from Blood Elves, never did he say they are exactly the same thing. But those differences are unimportant to him, for Ion when it comes to playability the looks is all that matters.


Yes, I understand that perfectly.

But the way he said it does not make it sound like that. The way he and blizzard has said it so far. Makes them sound like 1 race. Or better said :something we only want the looks for.

Again if he really ment they are 2 sepperate races or taken our wish for real ( not granted it). He could have said they would look to similar as blood elves. Or we do not think its a right idea etc etc...not : the horde is there for you.
That sentence and their previous actions around high elves thrully make it sound like blizzard really do not see them as a race.

I think purple void eyes should be the Void Elf exclusive, like how Blood Elves have one more unique eye color with the holy gold. We know that void users were expelled from Silvermoon for the threat they pose to the Sunwell, so it doesn't make much sense for Blood Elves to get any void purple color or for Void Elves to get gold.

Only males, thought, but I think it's a bug.

Blue eyes for blood elves are accessible. That purple color isn't, thought.

Blizzard must share the hair colors of the belf with the velf, to be able to make a high elf.

Bu then the blood does not have anything unique, they should add at least blonde or silver but not every one of the hair colors.

I mean it's a bug in the sense that females are not able to select it.

Holy cow, we will be able to customize Entropic Embrace!

That explains the bug I got with it not changing skin once, as well as the constant Entropic Embrace changes that happened in previous builds (sometimes affecting hair, sometimes not)!

I'd push more for Blood Elves to get the Darkfallen aesthetic as "unique" options - Red eyes, the same skin options used by Dark Ranger and San'layn NPC's... that sorta of thing.

Yeah that's good, I would do that too.

Now it makes sense why it also happened to give a fair skin tone. What if you can choose to lessen the degree of the embrace, so people that want High Elves can 'avoid' the racial proc in that sense (but it's still actually there)?

Maybe there's an option to select "none" as secondary skin/hair, meaning you just get a slight purple glow.

Like in this bug I got, maybe the skins didn't load:

This would make sense yeah!

So which reason exists to stay horde now? xD
Because the orc town is so cool?

Awesome news

If someone only joined Horde for pretty human skinned elves, they were never fans of the Horde to begin with and thus I'm unsure why anyone would be 'sad' to see them gone (they must also be lone wolves to ditch all their friends/family they may have had in the Alliance when going to Blood Elf and vice versa if going from Blood Elf to Void Elf/High Elf in Alliance).

If you enjoy the Horde for what it is, and Blood Elves for what they are, you will ofc stay. Plenty of reasons to stay Horde!

High Elf NPC updated

This is amazing!! I am curious if such will happen on the Blood Elf side, it would be extremely strange if it did not. But who knows!

[Ardenaso]

Vereesa update <3

That's nice. When will she have an actual character model though? The one that stands out like let's say... Eitrigg

[Redzonetode]

Are we sure these High Elf NPCs are actually getting updated with purple eyes, and its not just a bug from adding new eye options?
