Official High Elf Discussion Megathread

[Oswen]

Well that is official, again.
I'm sorry for the most passionate fans but I guess that Alliance players who really don't like Void Elves should actually campaign for half elves at this point.
Would a slightly different posture and some tweaks be that bad? They would be the continuation of the Quel'dorei legacy and actually move their story forward.

Finally the issue has ended. I am actually happy he answered at last and the answer is pretty clear, it's also the answer that will save my time and money

[Arrashi]

Another interview - another crushing defeat for high elf fans. What a shame

And honor the legacy of their windrunner overlords and become worshippers of humans

[Zorish]

can someone give link for HE discord? i can't hold myself i want to READ what's going on there!

[Deleted]

I like how the people cheering about this will be crying like babies again when Zandalari don't get Paladins.

Zandalari will get Paladins, that's quite obvious...

Kind of a big middle finger to what seems to be a good portion of the fanbase, isn't it? I was a fan of the direction proposed in this thread, it's a shame.

[Obelisk Kai]

Hahahha its finnaly over!!!! Yes!
The end is here!!!!

Oh they aren't going to stop, but now we can stop caring.

This is the moment of complete victory for the anti High Elf position.

I am enjoying this. I've argued this for YEARS and the opposition has argued back on the basis of a lack of Blizzard responses on this topic and seeing intent where none was intended.

A CM extends a thread, it's happening.

A High Elf npc is added, it's happening.

We've have a petition, it's happening.

Well it's not happening and the game director gave almost the response I have wanted someone in his position to do on this topic for years.

Blood Elves are High Elves. And part of the Horde.

A couple of days ago someone said they couldn't wait to see the look on the face of those and those like me when they finally got playable High Elves and how amazing it was going to be.

Imagine the look on my face as the entire position I've been arguing is validated! I am ecstatic that the faction integrity of the Horde is maintained and respect has been shown to the story and to the Blood Elves.

Void elves were already the compromise for high elf fanboys that cant bring themselves to be horde. They arent going to compromise for you guys again.

[elbleuet]

Aww I'm very disappointed. Seems like some of this forum were right after all.
On the other hand Obelisk Kai can finally get a life irl so that's a good thing I guess.
Blizzard is really stupid.

Hey, at least we can always copy paste that response to shut the thread instantly. I think its signature worthy.

Not putting extra time into doing something they dont want to do isnt a middle finger. You guys arent entitled to high elves. If blizz doesnt want to add them eventually you have to accept that.

I love your new sig

[Syegfryed]

Maybe... maybe he didn't want to say that! MAYBE HE IS WRONG, HE DIDN'T PREPARE HIMSELF FOR THE INTERVIEW!!!

thats it, we must remember him and blizzard that the true high elves are and always have been alliance!!!11!

quickly! to the oficial foruns!! we need to continue the spam, so they will change their minds!! we didn't spam hard enough yet!!!

[Archmage Alodi]

Oh boy , it's finally over.

[Vasaru]

Zandalari paladins have been all but confirmed for the future.

Zandalari Paladins are not a thing. Stop trying to make it happen just because of a couple on NPC's in TOT.
Or.. I could use Ion's logic and say if you want to be a paladin the Alliance is there for you.

[united]

LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I love this song!

[Obelisk Kai]

I've already updated mine. I liked my old one, but having the game director say it is a lot better.

I am extremely happy. This is not about denying them High Elves, over which they are undoubtedly going to be extremely sad right now, I am happy that the intrinsic logic of the faction wall has been respected, that the truth that Blood Elves are High Elves has been respected and that Void Elves are a compromise position for the Alliance that has been respected.

[Vasaru]

Oh boy , it's finally over.

Are you really that naive?

[Deleted]

I love your new sig

Yeah his new sig is great. XD
