Official High Elf Discussion Megathread

[Varx]

I dunno. I don't play Void Elf, Blood Elf or High Elf.

It's merely funny to watch people resort to their last two copes, one of which applies to their race just as much as it does the Void Elves and the other which isn't even relevant.

Psst. Still a High Elf btw.

Okay if you did play a "High Elf", emphasis on bunny ears, what would you tell them.

Feel like I'm having a "a now his watch has ended" moment. It's nice. So happy we have a more complete array of hair colors to represent that HE fantasy. Besides more nitpicky wants, I really think I feel satisfied. Since VE's were introduced, to me it just tanked the idea of HE's as their own AR, so this, this really is the best case scenario after that, and it's crazy that it actually happened.

I'm done campaigning. This answers the last of my wants. I don't really care if void elves get paladins or not. I have nothing against those who want to ask for it, but I'm not going to be a supporter of that particular request. I'll just quietly stay out of the way of those who want to try for it and wish you good luck getting the option you want.

Same. I really think these hair colors were the last true high elf *necessity*

I would LOVE High Elven paladins, but given they are not part of that iconic HE identity and right now just clash with the lore of Void Elves, I'm okay if they don't happen.

But I would also be okay if VE's get a "Void Knight" Pally reskin, NGL. But in that case, I'd prefer shaman because VE Dark Shamans are just a cooler concept IMO.

This. Nothing is iconic about High Elf Paladins.

It is and has always been Rangers (Hunters) and Sorcerers (Mages)

[MyWholeLifeIsThunder]

You didnt fully "get them". You're still a void ridden elf who turns into a void being in combat. Being unable to be a paladin solidifies this.


Sorry guys but no, you're still not pure high elves, that's only on team red, teehee. And don't bother asking for velf paladins since it'd be as senseless as maghar warlocks.

Okay, best of luck on your quest to get "True High Elves"

The rest of us are going to have fun.

(Also FOR REAL Paladins have never been an iconic High Elf think what are you on about?)

He's not on his quest to get "True High Elves"

He's on a quest to cope with reality by going "b-but muh voidform" (which is literally irrelevant to 99.9% of people who want high elf chars, since it's primarily an RP thing and most RP is non-combat, therefore it won't ever proc) and "y-your name still doesn't say high elf" (it doesn't for blood elves either)

[Rootsbum]

Finally! So happy.
Now I can be a void-tainted HighElf and live my best Legolas-life amongst humans, dwarves and castles <3

Really hope LF Draenei gets the same love.

"I dont understand, I thought High elves could be paladins based on the little i read yesterday"

Then what would you say?

None of the current HE Paladin NPC's have a "lore" role. One is even a joke name (Isimode)

Hunters, Mages, and ostensibly Priests because of the War3 class are the only to be considered "iconic" HE classes. Pretty much every other class is just a give or take, with Warrior and Rogue being mostly a commonality across races -and that we see as soldiers in different points-

Alliance High Elven NPC's have only existed twice. One is a joke name, and the other a SC trainer, which makes him as representative of High Elves as Warlocks.

Lol what would have you read that told you that XD

[FossilFree]

And there it is, with black, white, and brown hair, High Elf RP for Void Elves is complete.

Bro how can you play a Wildhammer when you can't even roll a Dwarf Druid? Loool.

[elbleuet]

Haha. If anyone lost its the helfer camp, you guys just settled since there's zero chance you'll ever get a legit pure high elf race at this point.

Yeah of course.

We went from nothing to blue-eyed, fair skinned and blond haired elves HAHAHAHAHA

Your favorite race has been made neutral. High elves are now playable Alliance side with 2 Windrunner leading them, and you'll have to accept it.

[FossilFree]

Oh and looks like Blood Elf players have been heard too :

This seemed to be a reply in context to people asking for San'layn options for Blood Elves. Yet it remains to be seen.

I would love it for blood elves fans. They deserve to gain something too.

[MyWholeLifeIsThunder]

Okay the thing I'd really *love*, and that it would be utterly pointless, was if they swapped all High Elf NPC's with the VE model and then they can say "See? High Elf NPC's have the same hairstyles than the VE options!"

Race Fantasy RUINED completely I CaN'T EvEN!!!11!!

Oh man, the amount of seethe is off the charts.

I love how this false notion of Void Elves having so many options is still being perpetuated despite reality proving otherwise.

All they got before were: copypasted skins and eye colors. Whoa, shocker. Mag'har orcs got more, but you don't hear anyone talk about that because they're not played by protectionist blood elf fans whose hands are still shaking over the fact that they no longer have a monopoly on an age old Alliance race.

Funny thing is that Wildhammer Druid is probably more lore significant too than Paladins are to High Elves.

[Varx]

Pandaren are neutral. They have access to the same classes, same customization options, and the same racials across both factions. You cant say the same for belves and velves Stop spreading fake news.

Oops looks like they are. So, why cant I make a helf paladin?????

They really aren't.

And why can't you make a Wildhammer Druid? :^)

Gameplay reasons. Nothing to do with Lore. And you know it little one.

Move on and go cry else where.

[Kyriani]

Keep telling your self that. How do you feel when you mouse over your toon's portrait and it says velf? How do you feel when Entropic embrace procs? How do you feel when the the toon selection forbids you to make a paladin. Haha. If anyone lost its the helfer camp, you guys just settled since there's zero chance you'll ever get a legit pure high elf race at this point.

If that's what you have to tell us to make yourself feel better... more power to ya?

I got what I wanted. That's all that matters to me.

I don't give a crap about paladins or what my racial tag says. If I want to rp as a high elf, I can now look the part, I can use an addon to change my racial tag to say high elf, and I can prevent entropic embrace from ever visibly triggering with a simple macro if I actually care enough. That's close enough for me.

And while I won't be out there asking for void elf paladins (because I don't care), I'll chuckle if void elves get them. I mean, it's not like void elves have been denied any of the major things they've asked for so far. But hey, there's always a first time right?

And if void elves don't get paladins (I don't see it happening to be honest), it's ok that you take some small measure of comfort in that.

But don't think anything you say will rain on the parade of anyone here. We're happy. And nothing you say can ruin that.
