    And this makes sense since the Sunreaver forces who stood against Jaina and Vereesa also had blue eyes. It's a win/win for everyone.
    Then they're not Blood Elves.

    This is so unlikely, it's beyond funny now. You ain't getting an allied race for this.

    We've got the two races who can now look akin to High Elves. It's time to move on and either play a blood elf with blue eyes or a void elf with blue eyes and pale skin.

    But they are though. See here:

    These can all be seen with blue eyes and are noted to be "Blood Elves."

    They're not gonna add 3 separate races that all boil down to pretty much the same thing now that these customization options are here.

    Wildhammer Dwarves are far more different from Bronzebeard Dwarves by comparison and they aren't getting their own race either.

    Yo pal tone down.

    Just saying keep the message out, just so they don't forget that there could more be done than just external aesthetics.

    Or we don't bother and appreciate what Blizzard has done, for once.
    We can do that, you know...how about just accept that High Elves won't happen and you play as either a blood elf or void elf?

    Blizzard have actually given us far more options that High Elves could legit, have - such as purple hair and purple eyes. This is only for High Elves who are on the Alliance.
    Also - rather than take, take, take from Blood Elves - actually have features from Humans and Night Elves. They love to get it on with Humans and they descend from Night Elves.

    No, they are not. It's the other way around. You can't be a void-infused High Elf. That makes you a Void Elf. That is literally the only distinction.

    2 is ok, 3 is too much?

    We have two types of Draenei, two types of Orcs, two types of Night Elves, two types of High/Blood Elves, two types of Humans (3 if you count Gilneans), two types of Trolls, hell even two types of Gnomes.

    But giving High Elves their own racials, mount and heritage armor is overkill?

    Ok bye

    The concept of a Blood Elf is that of a fel-corrupted High Elf with green eyes.

    You can point to a couple of ingame Elves with blue eyes that are allied with the Blood Elf forces, maybe even identify as Blood Elves. Ok. But that is still not what Blood Elves are on a conceptual level. What Blood Elves are is what Blizzard turned them into with WC3 TFT. Fel-corrupted Elves with green eyes.

    Ahh right, so you know nothing about Blood Elves then.

    Ahh well, we can't all hold knowledge on the most played race of the Horde.

    You just assume I don't 'appreciate' the addition just because I insist on it being more complete, that's a big miss.

    And yeah I do play my Blood elf since 2009 and is staying that way because I prefer Blood elves and I prefer the Horde.

    An Allied race will always be better, is that too radical? Too 'fanatic'?

  10. #19850
    Too ridiculous and fanatical, when two races now get those features.
    Just move on, for goodness sake...I can't wait to make my Void Elf Huntress into a High Elf with the new features, but I'm not going to prance around the internet all day, demanding Blizzard give me something which will now - never happen. You have seen, that I can make a High Elf in the dressing room.
    What you want is out of the question, because it's coming.

    Even High Elf fanatics have accepted that an allied race ship has sailed. You can keep repeating it over and over and it won't make a difference. Blizzard has done their jobs and it's time to move on, get over it and obsess over something else.

    High Elves are coming for both Horde and Alliance. Accept, be happy and move on.

    Void Elves look different enough from Blood Elves. This is why they were added in the first place instead of High Elves.

    Now both Void Elves and Blood Elves have the option to look like High Elves. And you believe that they'll add a third race with that exact same aesthetic? It just sounds obtuse tbh.

    And yes you can be a void-empowered High Elf. Alleria is just that.

    Alleria is a void elf

    https://wow.gamepedia.com/Shadows_Rising

    The Dark Lady and her forces now work in the shadows as both the Horde and Alliance race to uncover her next move, including her own sister, Alleria. Struggling to shoulder the crushing weight of leadership, King Anduin entrusts the void elf and High Exarch Turalyon to uncover Sylvanas's whereabouts.

    Alleria looks completely different from either Void Elves and Blood Elves. It would be so hard to make them look different right? Just give them blue face tattoos.





    This more than anything is what I want, and it is not possible for my character to be that neither with Void nor with Blood Elves, and it is distinct enough from both of them to warrant being its own race.

    And if you don't like it, so what? Don't play one. Why does the idea of this being an option offend you so much?

    Tone it down...

    This was also 'never' going to happen.

    You have seen, that I can make a High Elf in the dressing room.
    ?????? You are trying to prove me something I never denied, I even acknowledged it in my recent posts, who's being fanatical here?

    Look, I had enough of the anti's obnoxious bullshit that never made sense, still asking for an Allied race is a message, and that message is that the addition can get more things done than just a costume for Void elves.

    I will be surprised if they even remove the voice filter Void elves have giving an option to do so, that's the level of lacking proper characteristics the new customization has apart from the outside looks, that, as I said is only enought to properly roleplay with it, but not enought in a more intrinsecal way.

  15. #19855
    Yep and your message is ringing hollow, because the majority are actually happy. The common player is happy, but it's the internet forums where this is seen to be a "big issue." It's not anymore. We're getting High Elves for both factions. It's time to move on and stop asking the impossible.

    I'm happy too. I even like Void Elves in their own way. They are like goth Elves. That doesn't change I still want this

    You can still make a High Elf Ranger using the void elf skins.

    I've just made a High Elf Kirin Tor Mage. Be creative, use your imagination.

    Man... You are the only one saying I'm 'unhappy'. People can now play High elves, that's what I always wanted in the first place, why would I be unhappy? Jeez...

    Can't you just try to understand what I said instead of telling me that I am unhappy, fanatical, silly and issued?

    Saying my messages are 'hollow' also just point how much you don't want to hear and/or understand them for whatever reason, what do you fear about them? People remarking that an Allied race would always be better will not make them /delete what they added now.

    The Void elf options also were 'the impossible' mind you.

    Just give it time. People already asked for Paladins for Void elves or more natural colors for hair, and when everyone gets their hands on the new customization, some more of them will ask for more details that are 'High elven-like' to be added since they would be playing their Void elves with the new features as High elves and pass a lot of time playing their characters.

    And about both factions 'getting High elves'... No, the Alliance is. Blood elves don't call themselves High elves due to it being an offense, it's part of the lore you seem to care about. But enough of that, just pointing you are filling your responses with words that don't have a thoughtful basis.

    I just created a fel orc priest.

    He has brown skin, but in my head he's a fel orc.
