My journey to Midnight finally starts, I'm ready! 🎉

Won't really mass-post reveals (others did already) as I mostly got in for Addon Dev reasons (TRP3, Sippy Cup, etc.). 😓

Main focus will be on helping fix those addons first. 🫡

Quest log updated: Move In.
Your Housing Early Access journey begins Dec. 2
A scroll half un-rolled lays on a wooden surface. The scroll is adorned with gold details and brown leather straps. The scroll says HOUSING DEED, with cursive writing below that is unable to be transcribed. There is an X on a line at the bottom waiting to be signed (by YOU, perhaps?) with the date 12/2/2025. Next to the date is a wax seal stamp in gold with the World of Warcraft W logo. In the top right there is a hearthstone with the housing symbol on it in gold.

Given we noticed some RP addon doomposting, @solanya.bsky.social (my TRP boss) put out an early "About Midnight" post @ TRP Discord.

TL;DR: We're not dead or heavily impacted, things don't look too bad for us and it's still early.

(Re)downloading TRP from Curseforge or through WoWUp won't remove your profiles. 🫡

All it does is re-get the addon files which are stored in Interface/AddOns. 🙂

All your profiles are stored under WTF, different folder. 🧐

So if you wanna be extra safe before redownloading? Backup the WTF folder. 😉

Huh, didn't know this was a thing? 😲

I understanding hosting major RP events with optional donations that go to a legit charity (a few exist, very cool concepts), but just for personal cash? 🤔

Sounds like a can of worms, to be fair. Especially in regards to accountability and responsibility. 😟

So... there will be no new customizations for blood elves/void elves in Midnight. I have a bit of a post/rant to give. So here's a thread of images.
Basically, I think it's an absolute shame that there won't be *any* customizations for blood elves / void elves in Midnight. (1/2)
With much of the news announced, I’ve looked at every source I can and I’ve found zero mention of customization for blood elves or void elves in Midnight. I understand that there’s budget constraints, deadlines, and I know enough to say I don’t know all the inner workings of game dev at a large company with such a fast-paced schedule. One of my hobbies is however datamining (or at least, looking at models / textures, creating model edits in Blender, and so on). So at the risk of sounding entitled, ignorant, wrong, inexperienced, etc. I’m still making this thread. So with all that said… I’ve looked into every bit of news that I can thus far, followed every bit of Midnight information I can, watched every VOD / read every interview, and read the second-hand livetweets and accounts of yet-to-be-posted VODs. Thus far, it seems that there will be no new customization for any existing race outside of Darkspear Troll (apparently inspired by the Amani - and I’m glad they’re doing that and hope they get skin options and beards too), and in fact it seems to be confirmed that there’s no other customization planned currently. [On the right is a quoted tweet by Psybear_tv: No new customisation options planned fro the wider races in Midnight launch. Constant process they want to tackle.] So what we’re basically being told is that the expansion set around Quel’thalas, the expansion that’s based around the Blood Elves, Void Elves, and very likely the High Elves, is not bringing in any customization for either. I find this frankly ridiculous, like they talk about wanting to bring in “a class/spec/race” or whatever “when the time is right”, and I can certainly understand that, but when better is the “right time” than this expansion to do so? I see this said a lot, but it’s not actually always acted upon. It seems almost criminal that the narrative will be about the “elves uniting” and yet nothing will show for that in their customization. The Void Elf and Blood Elf models are the exact same animations and body shapes. There is almost nothing holding back porting over the hairstyles, hair color, and jewelry to each model. This is also at the very bare minimum. Void Elves are one of the only (pre-Dragonflight) races which has gotten no brand new customization since its conception - they’ve only ever had options pulled from the Blood Elves. The actual amount of categories they have is laughably small - consisting of a single column in the UI when most races have at least 2 or 3. This isn’t even hyperbole, nearly every other race has had new, from-zero options. Human & Hair Colors, Dwarf, Night Elf, Gnome, Draenei & Manari, Worgen, Orc, Undead, Tauren, Troll, Blood Elf & Hair Colors, Goblin, Pandaren, LF Draenei, DI Dwarf, Kul Tiran, Nightborne, HM Tauren, Zandalari. Of this list, the ones remaining that don’t have new customizations are Mag’har, Mechagnome, Vulpera, and of course Void Elf. Mag’har have a similar situation where Shadowlands kind of let them pull from normal orc customization. Some listed races are solely hair colors too, so I’m definitely not trying to say these are all of equal standing/value (some like Mag’har have a good handful of categories and pull from some of the newer Orc customizations). Void Elves have gotten every selection thus far from the Blood Elf counterpart. Frankly I’m fine with this happening, I’ve always found it weird that void elves just “forgot” how to have their older hairstyles and such. For the inverse, I can’t really care if Blood Elves got the void elf customization (skin, tentacles, and all) but for people who would probably complain it’s a step too far I think it’d be fine if they just can’t use the tentacle part of the hair / void skins - though I could see an argument made for demon hunter or something considering the new Devourer spec. So that being said - what exactly (from a technical/model POV) does prevent these options from being shared? Could it be the baked-in hair jewelry, the texture UV, vertice model limit, or some kind of other technical limitation? Well, I figure I might explore that. Sorry if this is the more boring section of this post, but I feel the need to objectively and factually approach the parts that I mostly know. So, starting off, the blood elf hair textures use the same exact UVs, with exception to the “tentacle/accessory” part. We can see an example of this here, and can of course confirm that the tentacle being baked into the hairstyle doesn’t matter, as the blood elf hair colors they pull from don’t have this part of the texture: (image displaying the UV of the tentacle overlapping normal blood elf hair texture) So this confirms that at the very least void elves can use all blood elf hair colors - but does it work in the inverse? Well there’s a couple hairstyles (the ones with the tiara and headbands) that don’t actually work, with void elf hair textures, but it’s relatively simple to separate out. (Image displaying where the tiara normally is on the UV map) With separated texture (much like the Void Elf hair tentacles): (Image displaying the tiara working with a Void Elf hair texture) So, hair model UVs have a slight snag, but it’s very easily fixable. Similar applies to a few other hairstyles for both body types, including the hairstyles named (Body 1) Headband, Thick Braids, Circlet, Thin Braids, Beaded (facial hair), (Body 2) Circlet, Tied, Headband, Chonmage, and Tiara. All of these would just need the “hair accessory” parts separated out in the model - which also would allow for the framework later on to have accessory color options. So what about the vertices that make up a model and the limit? Well the value, uint16 (unsigned 16bit integer), is a max limit of 65535. Using the same export tools and software we can count how much the total model vertices are, and also see how much the hairstyles and other accessories would be to see if this goes over the limit. When counting all void elf options: Body 1: Hairstyles: 14978 v. Facial Hair: 716 v. Total Accessories: 15694 v. Total Body: 33954 v. New total (merged): 33954 + 21191(belf1) = 55145 v. Body 2: Hairstyles: 10228 v. Jewelry: 492 v. Total Accessories: 10720 v. Total Body: 28330 v. New total (merged): 28330 + 15391(belf2) = 43721 v. When counting all Blood Elf options: Body 1: Hairstyles: 19793 v. Facial Hair: 1398 v. Total Accessories: 21191 v. Total Body: 39369 v. New total (merged): 39369 + 15694(velf1) = 55063 v. Body 2: Hairstyles: 12847 v. Jewelry: 2544 v. Total Accessories: 15391 v. Total Body: 34961 v. New total (merged): 34961 + 10720(velf2) = 45681 v. I checked these using the programs wow.export and Blender. For anyone wanting to check the source numbers, here’s all the source screenshots: (Images showing the aforementioned values)

Too bad blizz confirmed no extra customizations coming at launch for wider races. 😭

Little flavor it seems that they're renaming Fel-Scarred to just Scarred. 🎉

Probably given that Devourers don't use fel at all, it'd have made little sense. 🧐

I'm curious if they'll re-color Scarred abilities too. 🤔

Honestly, I seriously hope the "NEW" tag for Blindfolds is the fact you can use other eyes than fel-green! 🙏

So it is more in line with the philosphy of "Devourers do not use fel AT ALL, it's all Void" that Blizz mentioned. 😭

Potentially, I'm curious what other new zones they add. Given blizz's track record of adding new zones in the major patches after. 🤔

But I just wanted to make sure this info went out ASAP before more discords and sources got polluted with this fake info. 😭

It's a new spec for every Demon Hunter, regardless of race. So both night elf and blood elf DHs get it. 🌌

Void elf DH is a new race/class combo as they call it. As the void elf allied race gets a new class (DH). 🧐

Spec is auto-unlock @ pre-patch, void elf DH is unlock with short chain. 🫡
