With WoW: Battle for Azeroth, Blood Elves could change their eye color. Data miners have found exciting details!
Update 28.03.2018: A new alpha patch has been deployed, revealing that golden eyes are indeed available for players! This means that Blood Elf players can choose golden eyes as a customization option for their characters in the future.
Original report:
A new patch for Battle for Azeroth has been deployed to the alpha servers. Many new game data await in the latest version of World of Warcraft and the data miners have eagerly dived into the files. Especially with the Blood Elves, they must have been astonished, as three new faces have been discovered for both male and female characters.
The special thing: The faces of Blood Elves do not have fel-green eyes, but light-golden eyes!
From a story perspective, such customization options would certainly make sense. After all, the Blood Elves have been using fel magic that turned their eyes green only in rare cases since the end of The Burning Crusade. Since then, the Sunwell has been purified and serves the Blood Elves again as an energy source for their spells and as a calming influence for their Arcane thirst. That this turns their eyes golden would indeed be a plausible result.
New eyes only for NPCs?
However, these customizations contradict what Game Director Ion Hazzikostas said in the developer stream a week ago. It was mentioned that the focus for new customization options would primarily be on the allied races.
It is also possible that these options are only used for NPCs with a very strong connection to the Light. An example here would be Lady Liadrin, who has shed all cruelty since the cleansing of the Sunwell and presents herself as more devout than Uther. She is already depicted with golden eyes in Hearthstone.
What do you think of the golden eyes? Would you like to have them as a customization option for your Blood Elves?
