I'll believe the blue eyes are player-usable when I see it in the Alpha/Beta client, not just datamined. It'd be very easy for these eyes to be High Elf NPC eyes.

People who are saying 'black blood elves dont exist' need to just edit their posts with 'i'm a racist btw' because nowhere does it say elves are ONLY fair-skinned. Nowhere.And so what? Let people enjoy being able to make characters how they want, ESPECIALLY Black people who play this game who want to play elves with a skintone like theirs. And the blue eyes? So what if elves get blue eyes? Their reliance as a race on fel is dwindling, it makes sense they'd return to having blue eyes. I'd like to have purple eyes for my void or arcane users but we can't always have every little thing. The mist-like green eyes are great for monks too!I'm so happy. I have friends who are happy as hell they wont be forced to play a white elf. Let people be happy and tone back your racism.
Good lord, High elf was the name before we were called Sin'dorei, Children of the Sun - vengeance for the fallen. Void elves also Blood Elves / but now converted by the void are the Ren'dorei are still high elves. The data mining as Stiven is working on is still in the process, It was also said that the Alleria transformation for Void Elves (High Elves) was originally supposed to take place in legion but it may still be coming here. We also haven't seen their customization yet. Stay calm man, it's Alpha.
Those new skin tones look GREAT
First bfa, and now shadowlands, watcher and the devs have down for multiple releases they don't care about Alliance players and continue to push their "vision" at the expense of the playerbase. Yet, they pretend to be confused when more and more players leave the game. The only thing he's "watching" is the game diminish while he fiddles. The numbers from wod to now don't lie.
WoWhead, please don’t validate the real world racism going on here by letting it stand unmoderated.To be clear: there is no non-villainous way to complain about dark skinned elves.Nope, not even that one.Or that one.Representation matters more than a game’s intentionally malleable “lore.” Fact. Period. End of line.
blood elfs from teldrassil?
so the sunwell was an tanning bed all along, turns out KJ wanted that nice tan too. maybe that's why it's called the SUNwell
Oh my god! Please give us the option to have a face scar over the left eye so one green eye and one white eye would look amazing. Like Lor'themar.
I don't know what you all see there.What you are describing isn't possible. There are too few High Elves to be played.*throws salt in every direction*
oh no alliance bros how could this happen
Quick reminder to people shouting down Black Elves. Plausible Lore explanations: Half Elves with Black Human ancestry. Magic effect (remember those bright red elves from TBC). Darker skin tones remaining from Night Elf genetics. Literally just Black Blood Elves because why the **** not?Racism is stupid. I was surprised too when I saw the Black elves--I mean I thought huh cool weird--but if potential lore explanations are that easy to think up, you too could've sat for a moment and gone huh that works... cool.
