Blood Elf Golden Eyes Customization Option in Battle for Azeroth

Recommended Posts

Blizzard added three new face options with golden eyes for Blood Elves in the latest Battle for Azeroth Alpha Build.

It appears that even existing races will receive additional customization options in Battle for Azeroth. The first addition were Upright Orcs and recently MMO-Champion posted about three Blood Elf face options featuring golden eyes here.

I like this. This gives some of the retarded players that are begging for "High Elfs" some peace. It also reflects the change the Blood Elfs have gone throught with the new Sunwell being of Holy Magic instead of Arcane.

Draenei+yellow eyes= light forged draenei race

blood elf+ yellow eyes =blood elf?

what are they exactly doing????

Remember that the Sunwell is Light infused now? DE's shouldn't call themselves blood elves anymore, but, idk, maybe sun elves (belore'dorei?).

Meanwhile DKs not getting new stuff again. Currently no allied race despite the fact that the legion DK campaign makes it very clear that dead are still being raised. In addition DKs are still only going to have blue eyes as blood elves still.

Belfs dont call themself becouse of eyes or something...blood elves are called like that after all that lost life during Scourge inavsion on Quel'thalas. To remember them and what happened to their nation. Also green eyes didn't come from using arcane magic. It was sign of fel, when Illidan taught them art of draining magic from fel and demons. That green floating crystal all over Quel'thalas is cointaned demonic energy which everyone could drain to sustain himself.

So as you can see there is no reason to change their name and there never will be any.

I really like this idea because their Sunwell became infused with holy light, so it makes sense that some might start to gain Golden eyes since the Sunwell has become their source of power again instead of those fel infused crystals they used back in BC.

Also, it will look awesome on Paladins. (priests too, I suppose).

 

With that said, there's still one thing that bothers me: Why do the Forsaken have golden eyes? By rights, their eyes should be Blue, (Lich king influence) Green, (fel influence since the Scourge was originally a bio weapon of the Burning Crusade) or Red (as represented by Sylvannas and Nathanos, an unknown influence). There doesn't seem to be any current lore reason as to why the Forsaken have those golden eyes.

"But there are so few of them, they couldn't possibly make them playable!" This argument is invalid because there are far fewer void elves than high elves.

"But blood elves are high elves!" No, they are not. Culturally they are completely different. The high elves are alliance through and through, the blood elves are a bunch of edgy traitors who chose to start siphon the life energy out of living beings to sate their addiction. The high elves couldn't go through with this and have a completely different outlook on life and other creatures, not to mention they have a different aesthetic style.

"But high elves look too similar to blood elves, they can't possibly make them a separate race!" Again, no. If they can add recoloured orcs with a couple of new hairstyles or some slightly paler draenei with longer horns they can take the blood elf model, give them some less red-tinted skin, new hairstyles, blue eyes and Alleria-style warpaint options.

"But they can't give the alliance TWO of the same skeleton!" Yes they can. The alliance already have two draenei races and the horde will have two orc races. There is not a single valid argument as to why we shouldn't get high elves already. And we will get them, trust me. It's only a matter of time. People have been screeching for them since vanilla, it is guaranteed money. The only argument i see is people getting really triggered for some reason that people want this core lore race that should've been playable since vanilla, contrarians if you will who dislike it simply because they think it makes them special and salty horde players that get far too invested in the faction conflict and start sperging out at the prospect of the alliance getting access to an original alliance race that they've been asking for for so long. High elves is to the alliance what brown orcs is to the horde.

High elves had only arcane energy from the old sunwell, not holy, that's why their eyes were blue. But I do agree it's silly they have both colors now. I think it's because people's preferences, so they kept the gree eyes. But I add that they should have had golden eyes since a while ago.

I know they had green eyes because of the fel, same goes for the orcs' skin color. And I know why they call themselves children of the blood. I just wanted to point out that there's a reason they can change their name, they had their redemption already when helping in the fight against kael and the legion, and have the Sunwell and their land back (theoretically), now properly named because of the Light infusion (you know the sun apparently has holy energies in wow, sunwalkers and stuff). I mean, they can look at the future now, and not dwell on the past and it's mistakes.

About the forsaken thing, I think it's because of the undead plague. you see, some areas and objects infested with the plague have this yellow coloring.

High Elvs, are the same as Blood Elfs. They just didnt drain mana out of living beings or started draining Fel. Only visual difference is their Blue, instead of Green, eyes. Its retarded to actually bring back the "High" Elvs when we alrdy have the Blood Elfs, Nightborne, Night Elfs and Void Elfs. The argument you stared with " yes they can, they alrdy have 2 of the same with Draenei and Brown Orcs" The alliance would have 3 Elf races if they did and we just cant have that imbalance. + the only "High" Elfs that are in the Alliance are being lead by Vereesa Windrunner and its just a very small part from Wrath called the Silver Conclave. Blood Elfs are High Elfs, just under a different name. They dont change Race beacuse they swapped the name, would be like if I started to call myself "insert generic racist name" and suddenly became a member of that race.

We can argue that the Blood Elfs that still call themself High Elfs are loyal to the Alliance but as I said before, that is through Vereesa Windrunner in her own Silver Conclave which isnt big enough to be considered a Race.

So maybe they had to change name of bloodelves and name them light forged elves or holy elves or idk...or maybe they had to add a new allied race for them...it gets more silly when you see draenei got 2 races for eyes colors but blood elves get same thing but no new race and both of eyes are usable?this patch is just confusing me!!I don't understand many things! I still can't understand if we get a paladin draenei and a warrior light forged draenei in same BG! Looks like brazzers made BFA lol! Anything about this patch looks crazy!

Not entirely correct. Blood elves are not traitors. They actually stayed loyal to the Alliance after they got decimated by the scourge and kept on fighting the scourge and their demon lords alongside the human survivors of Lordaeron. They only deserted the Alliance after Grand Marshal Garithos accused them of treason and ordered them to be collectively executed. Why did he accused them of treason? Because they made sure that the orders he himself gave them were carried out. Crazy... I know... After that they faced two options, stay with the Alliance and die, or survive.

Not to bore you with more lore, but the cultural differences between blood elves and high elves are extremely recent and fresh. In fact, the only high elves that did not name themselves "blood elves" were those who at the time were aligned with the Kirin Tor (not with the Alliance) under the command of Vereesa Windrunner. These high elves (known as the Silver Covenant) were able to keep their pretty blue eyes because they continued sating their addiction with arcane magic, which was and is still provided to them by the Kirin Tor. Otherwise they would´ve been forced to start syphoning energy from living beings just like the rest of their unprivileged brethren.

So the ones that were actually "alliance through and through" were the blood elves.

This isn´t that crazy from a lore perspective. Don´t panic!

The new optional look for the blood elves is due to the restored Sunwell. Blood elves can now nurture themselves with holy light instead of fel magic. That is why, as a player, you can choose whether you are a blood elf that returned to sate his magic hunger with the Sunwell or decided against it and keep on syphoning the energy of demons. Makes for a pretty cool role playing option. However regardless of what type of magic your character is consuming, you are still a blood elf.

Lightforged Draenei on the other hand are a different race of draenei. They were all eredar in the beginning, but when Archimonde and Kil'jaden bowed to the Legion this group of draenei didn´t follow the prophet Velen, but escaped Argus on another vessel (the Genedar). They then joined the Army of the Light and have been fighting the Burning Crusade for thousands of years. They infused their very bodies with the light, so they are not just fueling themselves with the light, they are one with it. By this they became a new type of draenei. That is why these guys are a whole new race instead of a cosmetic option.

So they are draenei with bit difference...not a new race. ..

Pretty much like Mulgore Tauren and Highmountain Tauren, or Darkspear Trolls and Zandalari Trolls, or Ironforged Dwarfs and Dark Iron Dwarfs. Call them sub races if you will.

      Blizzard responded to some unclear issues around the Slayer Hero Talent tree, clarifying Bladestorm-related issues. You can check out the Slayer Hero talent tree here. 
      Slayer (Source)
      Hello. We’d like to answer a couple of questions we’ve seen for Slayer:
      The brief Bladestorm from Frenetic Flurry will fit in the GCD from the ability that triggered it, the intent is that it should not impact your rotation. The ability to use Pummel and Storm Bolt while Bladestorming applies during all Bladestorms, not just the one triggered from Frenetic Flurry.
      Likewise, all Bladestorm damage events will trigger Overwhelming Blades, including Frenetic Flurry and the additional ticks from Imminent Demise.
      Thanks for the feedback, keep it coming!

      In a Media & Society class, the professor decided to show their students the iconic Leeroy Jenkins video, which is nearing its 19th anniversary on May 11.
      A Reddit user, MineChris395, shared an interesting story about how their professor used the video to illustrate the growing influence of video games and their emergence as a form of viral media.
      The professor took the opportunity to explain how video gaming aligns with historical media trends, emphasizing the vast market gaming occupies today and its potential future growth.
      You can watch the video below in glorious 420p.
      The class was engaging and filled with laughter, as students enjoyed both the humor of the video and the insightful discussion on the impact of gaming in the media landscape, according to the OP.

      Dragonflight Season 4 is set to launch in just a few weeks, and we're checking out the rewards that will be removed when it kicks off. 
      Season 4 is just a few weeks away, and although Blizzard hasn't set a concrete release date for the newest Dragonflight season yet, there are certain achievements and rewards that will vanish once it kicks off. Let's take a closer look!
      Mythic+ Category
      Dragonflight Keystone Master: Season Three
      First, the Season 3 KSM achievement that requires players to obtain a Mythic+ Rating of at least 2,000 is going away, and with it, players will no longer be able to earn Verdant Armoredon.

      Dragonflight Keystone Hero: Season Three
      While this achievement does not come with any notable rewards, you can no longer earn it come Season 4.
      Mythic Dungeon Portals
      With Season 4, the dungeon rotation is getting a shake-up, meaning some dungeon teleports will become unattainable, unless they make a comeback in a later season. To secure these teleports, you'll need to complete a Mythic +20 or higher keystone dungeon within the time limit in Season 3.
      Keystone Hero: Atal'Dazar Keystone Hero: Black Rook Hold Keystone Hero: Darkheart Thicket Keystone Hero: The Everbloom Keystone Hero: Throne of the Tides Keystone Hero: Waycrest Manor Raids Category
      Two achievements are going away with the launch of Season 4:
      Ahead of the Curve: Fyrakk the Blazing
      The Amirdrassil AoTC achievement will be removed with Season 4. You must defeat Fyrakk on Heroic Difficulty or higher to get it.
      Cutting Edge: Fyrakk the Blazing
      The achievement to defeat Fyrakk on Mythic Difficulty is going away too.
      PvP Category
      The Season 3 Elite PvP transmog gear will no longer be obtainable when Season 4 starts.
      Gladiator: Dragonflight Season 3
      Verdant Gladiator's Slitherdrake, the Season 3 gladiator mount will no longer be obtainable when Season 4 starts. To get the mount you must win 50 games as a Gladiator in Dragonflight Season 3 in 3v3.

      Verdant Gladiator: Dragonflight Season 3
      The "Verdant Gladiator" title is going away in Season 4. You must end Dragonflight PvP Season 3 in the top 0.1% of the 3v3 arena ladder to get it.
      Verdant Legend: Dragonflight Season 3
      The "Verdant Legend" title from the Solo Shuffle ladder is going away in Season 4.

      The final week of 10.2.5 has (almost) passed and we also have the results of last week's class tuning to check out as well! Tomorrow's 10.2.6 isn't looking to bring too many class changes (if any), but we can't be sure since we don't even know what the patch is. Season 4 isn't starting yet so we'll be hanging out in Amirdrassil for a few more weeks at least, so let's see how things are shaping up.
      Note: We are using Normalized scores instead of raw DPS for the Warcraft Logs rankings. The u.gg rankings at the bottom are raw DPS. Normalized scores take into account the outlier boss fights where certain specs could stack massive DPS (due to the nature of the fight, whether it's AoE spam or something else), which would then affect their overall score for the whole raid.
      Mythic
      Overall Damage 95th Percentile
      We're seeing some big changes around the top, but they're not at all tuning-related! The DKs have joined forces, but it's the non-Fyr'alath-wielding one that's taken the lead, as Frost moves into 2nd, while Unholy takes 3rd. Fury and Retribution move down to make room for the red ones, and we do see the first results of the tuning right after them.
      Frost took its buffs and moved a colossal 16 spots up into 6th, bumping fellow Mage Arcane down one in the process. Elemental takes down Shadow for 9th, using its 3% buff to move up 8 spots, and the Priest closes out the top 10, sitting in a Shaman sandwich. Marksmanship and Survival stick together and use their 3% buffs to move out of the bottom. They land in 13th and 14th, with Survival making a much bigger leap, gaining 10 spots and escaping the bottom 3. Speaking of the bottom, we see Beast Mastery drop down to the final 3 as Survival escapes, joined by Affliction, which showcases the huge difference in the raw DPS and points-based rankings, as the Warlock spec is No.1 in the raw DPS ones below!

      95th percentile Mythic data by Warcraft Logs.
      Overall Damage All Percentiles
      The generalist bracket is more stable and slower moving, as usual, so there isn't that much to see at the top. Down in 6th we do see a big change, as Survival uses it's buff to make an 11-spot leap, just past Unholy. Arcane loses two spots to the Hunter and DK, landing just above a stable Fire and Frost DK. Frost Mage's buffs haven't had a big impact here yet, but the spec does move out of the bottom 3, gaining 4 spots and moving up. Marksmanship moves towards the middle of the pack, buffs in hand, and finds itself gaining 6 spots. This opens up the bottom 3, and it seems there must always be a Hunter at the bottom, with Beast Mastery taking its place there, joined by Feral.
      All percentiles Mythic data by Warcraft Logs.
      Boss Only Damage All Percentiles
      Survival is on the move here as well, gaining 8 spots and moving into 7th, as everything above it remains stable. Elemental also makes a move using its 3% buff, closing out the top 10 and gaining 7 spots.
      All percentiles Mythic data by Warcraft Logs.
      Heroic
      Overall Damage All Percentiles
      We go down to 8th to see the first change in Heroic, as Shadow moves 4 spots up, just ahead of Survival, which gains 9 spots in 9th.

      All percentiles Heroic data by Warcraft Logs.
      U.GG Raw DPS Rankings
      U.gg's rankings are based on actual DPS taken from Warcraft Logs data, focusing on the top players and span the past two weeks. This chart is for Mythic only.
      We're not going to be seeing quite as many drastic changes here, as the raw DPS chart tracks the past two weeks, but there's still plenty to see. Affliction ends the patch at the very top, pretty much the opposite of its position in the points-based rankings. Fury manages to push into 2nd, bumping the Rogue down to 3rd. Unholy makes some more moves and gains two in 9th, joining up with its fellow DK. We do see Frost Mage starting to make its buffed move up, gaining 4 spots to get out of the bottom 3, where it leaves Feral to take its place.
      Mythic chart by u.gg.
