Truth is: it would be better if both cases were their own customization category. But since they aren't, at least give us more than one single option. (Night elves should have option for silver, golden or darkened eyes, damn it.)

![]() Blizzcon virtual ticket rewards revealed and the WoW one is pretty underwhelming, I feel.
Alliance and Horde cloaks as well as banners you can put down. Banners are well made at least but the cloaks really aren't anything super special. Hell, we've had ones with Alliance/Horde symbols on it for ages now anyway. |

![]() So, Realmpop.com has finally updated its algorithm. After 8 months speculating on a generic "Unknown" race that was the sum of all allied races, we finally have numbers.
https://realmpop.com/us.html https://realmpop.com/eu.html Like I said early this year, we should only consider level 120 players, since that shows people's commitment to their most liked characters. (US populations, but EU are very close to that) Void Elves: 3.1% Nightborne: 2.1% Highmountain Tauren: 1.2% Lightforged Draenei: 1% Dark Iron Dwarves: 0.7% Mag'har Orcs: 0.6% Obviously, Dark Iron and Mag'har numbers will be lower since they were released last, and after people already had other level 120 characters in order to unlock them. Together, they sum 9.7% of max level player population. Not bad. But, aside from the elves, they are not very common. There are more nightborne than goblins or Horde pandaren. There are more void elves than dwarves, worgen, gnomes or Alliance pandaren. All other allied races are less common than any of the standard races. A whooping 65% of Lightforged Draenei are paladins. Blizzard made a single-theme race indeed... Void elves show the potential that high elves could have had. They are the most popular of the allied races. They didn't make a dent on faction imbalance, which has increased even more in the Horde's favor. Horde is now 55.2% of players. I think this undoes a lot of arguments against high elves... Oh, well.

![]() I wonder what these numbers would look like if they didn't start at level 20. Sure it's not a HUGE timesaver but it's 120 levels, every bit helps. And i'm not surprised the Velfs are high up. Lightforged Draenei barely look different to regular Draenei, there's hardly a point in playing one if you already own a spacegoat. And the Void Elfs actually offer something NEW to Alliance players.
I'm a bit surprised about the low amount if Highmountain Tauren, though. I see them everywhere on my realmpool. |

![]() Well, if nothing else, it would mean both factions get a certain kind of trifecta of elves (nocturnal elf, diurnal elf, goth elf) going on.

![]() this thread is very interesting
Blood Elf Player should have Blue Eyes during Blood Elf Heritage Scenario because it takes place when they were still High Elf and before their eyes became green, so this change could be related to it. https://www.mmo-champion.com/content...TR-Build-27826 MMO-Champion PTR Model Viewer seems to have separated the eyes from face texture. Here's how you can see it. 1. Go to Blood Elf Guard Armor picture 2. Click Model Viewer 3. Select Character Model as Blood Elf 4. Click face and choose from 10 to 19. You can have those faces with blue eyes on skin color from 0 to 9 which is non-DK and non-DH skin color. They're not DK eyes because DK eyes are attached to skin color 16-18 on model viewer. They're also not High Elf NPC eye color because their eyes are attached to the face, skin and they only have 3 skins. So this means: Eye is separated from the face So it might be just for Heritage Armor Scenario but would they really spent so much effort into just for this scenario? I think it's possible setup for Blue Eye customization. ![]() https://us.battle.net/forums/en/wow/topic/20769129917

![]() I remember during his infamous "the Horde is waiting for you" answer, Ion said they might just give blood elves a blue eye color option to stop people asking for high elves. Maybe it's happening?

![]() It might be the ultimate troll-move by Blizzard... but i CAN see myself levelling another Warrior just for the Guard-transmog, provided we do get THAT as the heritage armor.

![]() I double my bet on 9.0 being the neutral expansion and allowing alliance and horde races to group up together if they have war mode disabled
So yeah neutral blue-eyed blood elves Pretty much high elves

![]() Again, the whole High Elf discussion is and always has been a pseudodebatte anyway.
Some people just can't get over the fact, that the "Traditional Good Faction" (Human, Dwarfs, etc..) didn't get the Lord of the Rings Elves this time. By the way: I'm actually glad that the Virtual Ticket Goodie is only the Vanilla Demo this time. Saves me money. |

I was thinking void elves would fix that, since Blizzard could just use them instead, but they're still using high elf NPCs quite a bit in BfA, so the problem keeps going. Then there's also the aforementioned "the Horde is waiting for you comment," which made things worse by not only stirring the hornet's nest, but also appearing hypocritical. You could use the exact same logic to say Nightborne shouldn't be playable on the Horde.

It's not what I want to see. But it's what I'm expecting Blizzard to do. They need to finish their troll move and end this debate once and for all. My reaction will depend on how good the story ends up being... Quote:
So no, this is no indication of playable blue-eyed blood elves.

it would be so wonderful more personalization! It is also logical because in the flashback quest they should have blue eyes! I think it could be a reward to finish

WHat you are seeing in the model is nothing new. It has been there since the model revamp, and was in the old models as well since WotLK. While I think Blizzard is planning on ending the high elves and turn them into void elves at some point, I doubt they will give blood elves blue eyes. Maybe, reaaaaally maybe, after the high elf issue has been dealt with. --------------------------------------- Changing the subject, I was thinking on some of the BfA mysteries and... I think I have an idea on where Vol'jin's story is headed. While I have no clue on what entity distracted him so he could be killed, then impersonated the Loa to mislead him in his final moments, I think the one who brought him back is... Rezan. Rezan, being attuned to the Light, foresaw his own fate. So, he saved Vol'jin's spirit from whatever dark entity was holding him, and infused him with his Loa power. When Rezan was killed, he was already weakened because of his actions. Vol'jin will be the new Loa of Kings and Queens, and the patron of the Prelates, soon Prelates of Vol'jin.
