One of the Void Elf’s racial abilities, “Ethereal Connection” Reduces the cost of Void Storage by 50%. https://warcraft.wiki.gg/wiki/Ethereal_Connection
Recently, Blizzard announced that Void storage will be removed in the new Ghosts of K’aresh patch.
My question is: since the advantage this racial gives to Void Elves over other races will be removed, are we going to get anything in return, or is this incentive to play a Void Elf simply going to be removed?
is it rlly tho? was ribbon racial at best, i think total amount of gold saved with this throughout void elf race is less gold than most single ppl earn from doing weekly quests
Well, it doesn’t really matter how small of an incentive to play Void Elves it was - it was still a tangible incentive. I don’t ask to get anything game breaking as a replacement. I’m only asking if an existing incentive will be replaced by anything at all, or if we’ll just have to bit the bullet and be less incentivised to play Void Elves than we currently are.
You are right of course, but the fact that we have other racial benefits doesn’t mean that it’s ok for us to lose this one
Yes, some racial traits are easy to forget about, but first of all: as this thread shows, some people still use the Void Storage feature, and more generally: the fact that some traits are minor doesn’t mean that it’s ok to stealth nerf/remove them without any reason or giving anything in return.
I really hope You are right! Personally I’m more concerned about the lore implications of this racial trait and I’d like to see something that, like the current racial, reinforces the notion about the connection between Void Elves and Ethereals. Small discount with Ethereal merchants, some minor reputation bonus with Ethereal factions - that sort of things.
