Official High Elf Discussion Megathread

But they look exactly like regular humans...WITH BLUE EYES !

I mean that's how Kalec looks so you might not be out of base. Maybe just slimmer.

[ls-]

Even then in what would be i assume 6 months TOPS to convert enough to outnumber the HE? Ehhh it us questionable more possible but questionable

TBF, void-related stuff happens REALLY fast, I mean, it took arcane energies of the Sunwell and the Nightwell thousands of years to change night elves into helves/belves and nightborne, whereas the void caused various biological changes in belves within days or even hours.

[Paraka]

Does ANYONE have a problem with Half Elves?

I wonder if we will see a push for this now that High Elves have been ruled out.

If it happens it will be another one of those "But we want High Elves," posting brigade again.

Then it will get desperate, making what they claim is acceptable and eventually Blizz does another one and the cycle repeats.

Cannot wait for the Chrono Elves who have been touched by time itself and blessed by Noz and be a thing for the Alliance so we can move to the next halfway demand; Cosmo Elves.

[Enkrypt]

To be honest it shouldn't be. Lorewise it's been ages since Blood Elves ever touched Fel energy, they are using the purified Sunwell again for quite a bit. Right now Blood Elves should have their eyes reverted back to the golden state. Which sort of makes them literally the same High Elves they used to be a few years before.

Um, Blood Elves get a golden eye option in BFA.

[ThatBloodElfEnjoyer]

Gotta get those green contacts then, I guess. Unless they want to add blue-eyed models to the Horde, which I'd be fine with.

Gold eyes are the current style. But blue would be nice to have.

[Doffen]

Mine is a Night Elf Demon Hunter. I think to fully enjoy BFA you will need one Horde and one Alliance character.

But I do reserve a particular ire towards Void Elves (in an RP sense), they represent everything that Silvermoon stands against. The Alliance, the void and messing with forbidden magic (hey I like Blood/High Elves but they're massive hypocrites).

Yeah, agree, BfA will be most enjoyed if you can play both factions imo

[Arrashi]

I mean that's how Kalec looks so you might not be out of base. Maybe just slimmer.

Nah, not like kalec. Like actual regular humans. But with less face/hair option. They need to be properly shitty race.

Well, to be fair, the sunwell and the nightwell didn't turn on the elves and saturated their bodies with their respective energies in such a short term. Their exposure was very minor, but prolonged, for the wells.

...first i susoect it would be more human physique blue eyes elf ears(but shorter) and not so pronounced eyebrows

Culturally i suspect more humble then be/ve and probably he while still retaining an affinity for magic. Their architecture i can see being a blue version if places like quel dorei lodge.


Honestly too tired to go on but i expect them to embrace alot of what players see in high elves.

THEY would have been a good compromise not void elves

[Sigxy]

Fuck someone should have told me I was playing horde

Well hey, to be pointy...

Ion did say "If you are Alliance and want to be an elf, the Horde is there for you." You clearly have a few elves there, buddy!

[EbaumsTipster]

Half-Elves would be fine. I have zero problem with half-elves similar to Mag'har, where they have customization harkening to their heritages/"clans" (Windrunner tats, Silvermoon-ish hair, etc)

Well hey, to be pointy...

Don't be disingenuous. He said if you want to be a FAIR-SKINNED FANTASY ELF archetype, you go Horde.

Correct me with I'm wrong, but didn't the Blood Elves started this "messing with forbidden stuff" when they started draining magic from living beings? And started dealing with blood magic?

The entire point of my opposition against playable High Elves was to preserve the integrity of my in game faction and ensure that Blood Elves were seen for what they are, the true High Elves of the Warcraft Universe.

There are no Half Elves in the Horde. They are no threat to the integrity of the Horde nor do they threaten to undermine Blood Elves.

If the pro High Elf community wants to dedicate itself now to getting Half Elves, it would be a churlish Horde player who argues against it, and I would wish them luck in that endeavour.

As I said, the Blood/High Elves are massive hypocrites. They've always been massive hypocrites. I've never said they weren't massive hypocrites.

I mean honestly i feel like trolls(remember elves descended from trolls( tend to mutate/ adapt ridiculously fast. As in single generations can cause changes.

Though i do suspect void was faster in part because they were basically bathed in it(almost literally) as opposed to just using the energy/being around it i bet if an elf or troll literally bathed in the sunwell or nightwell they would walk out a new light based subspecies provided they lived.

Yeah I know he said that, obviously. Was just teasing. >_>

[Syegfryed]

Look through the thread the only ones who ever mention lotro in any way are those AGAINSt high elves not for.

of course, we are exposing then

Heh it is similar yes but remember BE rebuild silvermoon not HE so i would expect differences even a few to existm to say nothing of how they carry themselves and see the world

and? you guys are creating non-issues, for real, you don't need blizzard holding your hand writing every piece of lore to you to play

sure its not what people want, but its close enough, we can live with that

[MyWholeLifeIsThunder]

Now now, manners, no need to be just petty.

[Vasaru]

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.

Why bother responding then? You seem like the kind of cunt who gets off by being annoying, judging by your sig.

[Shinkishi]

I was expecting a more PR response, really. Isn't this the same response he gave before? The one that these High Elf people have been arguing against all this time? If they actually want people to stop they should probably try and address what they're talking about.

High Elves aren't a big deal for me one way or the other, but the response is good for people who like to laugh at a trash fire on the internet at least.
