No, see, apparently in many a HElfers minds that face paint is actually indicative of an entire cultural shift that means playable helves should be a thing for…reasons.

We don’t engage with those people.
Their sanity has long since departed.
DK skins for allied races would be pleasant while we’re on the topic of them.
What would be even more pleasant:
- Zandalari and Kul Tiran warlocks, or just the removal of race/class restrictions
- Remove transmog restrictions on armor class
There, that’s all I’ve got. Niether of these have any technical limitation and the devs evidently flip-flop between thematic decisions without a single care for the state of the game.
Honestly high elf players deserve to not be satisfied after the hoops Bl*zzard have jumped through to not add high elves. All the power to them, bros.
Yes please.
Zandalari especially (because I’d actually play a zandalock, but more power to any KT player who wants locks)

These are literally demands that could be applied to any race, c’moooon. I’d want more options for all races in general, sadly we ain’t in an ideal world so that’s just how it is. My favourite races of Pandaren, Nelf, Vulpera and Goblins won’t necessary get a priority themselves but Thalassian Elves, Humans and Orcs sure have gotten plenty around.
Zanadalari should have had them. Still a let down they didn’t.
Zandalari were an option up until Blizzcon (and even there their powerpoint slide said they get warlocks). Even the in-game lore was building up to Rezan being dead = Zandalari no longer having a connection to some deity that would infuse them with fake Light powers or whatever
Kul Tirans have an entire region dedicated to dark magic and we have a multitude of races (Literally every race bar orcs) who picked up on being warlocks because they had societal rejects who wouldn’t have qualms with Fel magic or have an affinity for it by default.
I prepped for a zandalock.
I was going to Rp them as a venomancer.
was going to go destro, had the green fire book ready and brinded the blackwing lair warlock set (snake motif, so venom)
And then Blizz was like; “nah brah, you’re not getting zandalock”
All this thread has convinced me of is two things;
-
Void Elves were a mistake. Allerian High Elves, Broken Draenei, Voidy Krokull, whatever; anything else would have been better. They don’t make sense lore wise and they’ve been an issue meta-wise (customisations etc) too.
-
High Elf players seem to live rent free in all ya’ll heads. So… who is actually winning, there?
They just haven’t gone far enough yet.

IMO all they are a reminder of is that Blizz dumped the superior ‘Sin’dorei are pragmatists who twist the arcane and reality to their will, for the Kingdom… and the Horde, yeah, ok, fine’ for… whatever it is we have now? Just generic elves, I guess?
“No, touchy the void bad!” is the weakest take.

I mean #RommathWasRight and all that about the Void. The one time Alleria gets close it almost corrupts the thing again which would spell doom for all blood+high elves.
As far as exiles go it was also really like…light. They basically just said “don’t come back”. They didn’t kick them out of the Horde, they didn’t hunt them down, they didn’t even enforce a stop of their research, they just said “you cannot do this here” and then they bummed around the Ghostlands for apparently years(?).
If Umbric+Co. had buggered off to the Forsaken and been like “hey guys you like shadow magic we like shadow magic lets learn some shadow magic together!” then I’m 100% sure that they’d have been welcomed in and Rommath would’ve been fine with it because it was far away from the Sunwell.

No disagreement here. It just feels super washy, and also entirely goes against the excuse they gave for ‘no High Elves’; we’ve seen enough of them since TBC to certainly populated an AR, while Void Elves were a fraction of a small race, and even then one team of researchers… and yet were enough? They also had no prior existence. Just… poof and they were there? Lame.
I’m not that fussed anyway, just the handling and reasoning are so poor, and literally so many other more interesting options were right there.

But Ely, the velves didn’t LIKE the Horde.
despite… you know, a race in the Horde who also like Shadow magic lead by one of their former heroes (talking about Sylvanas if anybody didn’t guess)
Yeah but Cult of Forgotten Shadow is actually lead by a normal human. Which isn’t disappointing at all…
A few options to make void elves normal is cool to me, but on the flip side I want to see more void stuff (I won’t use it much, but I want it to be more appealing to players who like darker themes).
More tentacles, DK like eyes that are purple or black mist instead of blue, strange mouths full of jagged teeth. A subtle persistent darkness around them with certain voidy skin colours.
More options may draw me to things I wouldn’t usually go for, so it’d be nice to expand the net… Once the other races get more things DID need more hair and beards. Mustache and beard needs to be uncoupled too.
This is what I find strange, Blizzard cited many times that they want to set races and allied races apart with customization options and to make them feel unique.
Then they just port over a gorillion Blood Elf customization options and call it a day.
It could have been a cool little nod towards the corrupting nature of the Void and how Void Elves exhibit more visible mutations as time passes on, but nope. We get the direct opposite because people playing this game as a dressup simulator/Second Life substitute don’t want to look offputting.
this but unironically
More hair colors, for sure! Ear-size. Arcane tattoo’s. Eye colours aswell(wish they get silver and amber aswell, ngl!), Undeath skins!
Personally I hope for Felborne customisations… I need it for my Warlock!
Don’t worry Nerathion, you are already better then the Blood Elves!
In the inevitable Light/Void expansion, Rommath will dramatically turn to Alleria and apologise for his rude actions, for he has seen that she is right and that the Void is Good, actually, but also Bad, actually, but also Good, actually.
Rommath gets caught in a logic loop and every one of his lines is just being mad/glad about Alleria.
