Official High Elf Discussion Megathread

[Deleted]

I love your new sig

Yeah his new sig is great. XD

[Vasaru]

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.

You're fucking immature to be honest.

As much as I did not care for High Elves (I'm a Snekboi myself) I am kind of curious as to whether Ion forgot about the Silver Covenant being 'a thing'. He states there were no examples...and yet they're right there, in Wrath, Cata and turned up in Legion...

Still I can now hold out my hopes that having the High Elf fervor die down might get the Sethrak noticed.

[brbshower]

Hey mods, yall are pretty good about closing pointless threads...now that Ion, & Chronicle, have confirmed High Elves are Blood Elves and not a separate race...can't we shut down this crapshow now?

[Obelisk Kai]

I love your new sig

This is our moment of victory Deno!

The pro High Elf side wanted a response and they fought for it and they got one.

A complete validation of the Anti High Elf position.

Now this doesn't rule out additional Void Elf customizations or Half Elves, but I don't care about that.

What I wanted to see confirmed not to be happening has been confirmed.

[Varodoc]

My prediction is that Vereesa Windrunner and all remaining High Elves will be brought to the brink of extinction and will have to make a choice: either accept dark yet useful powers, or perish. Backed into a corner, Vereesa and the remaining High Elves will accept the gift that Alleria and the Ren'dorei offer and will gorge themselves in the Void, becoming Ren'dorei.

This would be good lore development, because:

A) It would bolster the Ren'dorei's numbers;
B) It would close the case 'Playable High Elves' for good.

[Almiria]

Farewell High Elves !! Until the day we meet again !!

[Archmage Alodi]

Are you really that naive?

I know he fans are going to be whining everywhere , but knowing that high elves are never going to happen they might give up after some time. many of them will.

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.

I main a human paladin so thats fine for me. I'm just saying Blizz has heavily hinted (not mocked like high elf fans think constitutes as a hint, but actually hinted) at zandalari prelates regaining their powers. Hell, them LOSING their powers is new to this expansion, so clearly blizz hasnt just forgotten about them.

Actually in the last interview Ion said that Zandalari paladins are a possibility as the story of the Zandalari goes on. Right now we know what happens with the Prelates (the Zandalari paladins) because of the shenanigans Zul and his cronies end up doing and he went on from that saying if they get a source of power or discover other means they might end up existing.

Suffice to say this is more of a "It can happen" but not a "It will happen."

[Deno]

You're fucking immature to be honest.

Oh the irony, with only one sentence.

[Arrashi]

You're fucking immature to be honest.

Nah, after all those years of fighting denial its a good thing to do. That way people will remember. If we don't remind high elf fans that high elves will never be alliance race, they will start making new "High elves confirmed" threads after few days.

He didn't forget. Even if he didn't mention them, you're looking at the most irrelivent thing he said. The point of his answer was to confirm to everyone that BLOOD ELVES ARE HIGH ELVES...they are not a separate race, they are the exact same thing.

[elbleuet]

You're fucking immature to be honest.

Yea.

Boy now I can only hope we Alliance get Sethrak as allied race.

[Obelisk Kai]

You're fucking immature to be honest.

I don't give two hoots what you think right now. My position won out completely!

They're not part of the Horde so I wish you luck.

[united]

damn shut down

[brbshower]

High Elves have already happened...they are called blood elves :P

[seleri]

I knew as soon as the question was answered that I had to come to this thread to see the amount of arrogance and spite on both sides and it does not disappoint. I don't care about high elves one way or the other but man is the drama fun to watch.

This would be good lore development, because:

A) It would bolster the Ren'dorei's numbers;
B) It would close the case 'Playable High Elves' for good.

Alliance high elves literally already had that choice and chose not to accept the dark powers. It'd just be a retread of their story.

[Obelisk Kai]

Nah, after all those years of fighting denial its a good thing to do. That way people will remember. If we don't remind high elf fans that high elves will never be alliance race, they will start making new "High elves confirmed" threads after few days.

I am sure had Ion said the opposite, our long term opponents would be behaving with decorum and sensitivity towards us as the faction wall was smashed and our most popular race copied to the other side.
