The Void Elves in World of Warcraft are getting new textures, as they were obviously way too sexy.
In Battle for Azeroth, World of Warcraft will receive a total of six new playable races. These “Allied Races” will join either the Horde or the Alliance after a questline and will then be available as fresh species to play.
One of these races will be the Void Elves. Originally, they are Blood Elves who tried to quench their magical thirst with the power of the Void. However, after some incidents, this was only greeted with a “so-so” response by the Blood Elf government, leading to their banishment from the Horde. Alleria Windrunner then leads the Void Elves (also known as “Ren’dorei”) to the Alliance and grants them a new place to live.
Void Elves resembled bodybuilders
In the first version of the Void Elves, they looked quite muscular. Even the six-pack on their stomach had another six-pack, giving the impression that the Void Elves were not playing with dark magic of the Old Gods, but rather munching on steroids all day to impress the ladies of the Alliance in the next beach season.
The textures of the Void Elves have now been revised on the PTR of Patch 7.3.5, significantly reducing their musculature. While the gentlemen are still clearly more trained than their Blood Elf counterparts from the Horde, they no longer give off a bodybuilder impression.
The community’s reactions have been mixed so far. Many liked the muscular Elves, while others find so much physical power in characters that are essentially involved in magic (even if they can become warriors) simply exaggerated.
Which of the two textures did you like better? Or do you not really care in the end since your Void Elf always wears armor anyway?
Have you seen how two players defeated a current boss from Antorus together?
