Official High Elf Discussion Megathread

[Starla]

I am not going to attack their entire community. They are gamers with a goal. I happen to disagree with that goal quite vehemently but there are far better ways of handling disputes. But I am not going to let someone like Twinbros think he post like a normal commentator after making a disgusting remark like that. He demeaned himself by doing so, and I don't intend to let him forget it should he reappear. People need to know exactly whom they are dealing with.

I believe as long as they want to be thought of as a 'community' they have a responsibility not to tolerate that kind of behavior. It's not the case. On their discord, twitter, wow forum, they say nothing about their toxic brothers while attacking those who disagree with them.

So can I. Just not in the Alliance.

So, you are playing on a private server. As a Blizzard employee, I say that your behaviour is unacceptable. I guess you deserve that bug.

[Starla]

While there seems to have been some interesting developments in regards to High elves between devs and players I still wouldn't wish cancer upon anyone as I've been through that shit and it aint pleasent I may call you twats and get angry but thats because I have bad days and well eh I don't really mean it take me with a pinch of salty, also I was told I was too negative for the High elf discord because I told them they hold their expectations too high.

Just my opinion, but it seemed more like you were trying to tell Dorith he shouldn't have been posting things that might get people's hopes up.

I am offended by every anti high elf poster who compare me to flat earth believer and calls me delusional crybaby. Do something with it!

[Starla]

False hope with absolutely no evidence to back it up, all purely speculation but he was 99.9% sure that High Elves would be announced this Blizzcon.

I think in the end he/she didn't actually hurt anything with his hope, though. I certainly get where you're coming from, but while some of us can't deal with disappointment well others do just fine.

I"m not claiming to be part of a community....I don't have that type of responsibility. You guys can't have it both ways.

[Starla]

I never said he hurt anyone I just said he should be abit more careful as they've hyped themselves up in the past and the meltdown was disturbing.

Kaira, I didn't say you said he hurt anyone. I thought you might have thought he'd bring harm/hurt on people by getting their hopes up.

Seems like the conversation on the discord was more about people not understanding each other.

It's quite silly to expect "people who want High Elves" to be a full fledged community with some kind of official membership or something.

I personally don't see them as a community.

[Shibito]

Guess the usual uprising is over for now cya in 6 months.

[Strippling]

Yeah because spiteful anti helf posters are so nice and want civil discussion. They dont come here trolling, baiting and repeating "the horde is there, waiting for you"

We're just repeating what Blizz already said. On the other hand, some pro's feel it appropriate to wish death upon someone who merely just disagrees with them. A bit extreme.. such a nice community. Even in this Q&A they said please be respectful...acknowledging that the pro crowd can be quite nasty

No one is disregarding Ion's answer in this. Hence it is why the interviewer prefaces with "I personally feel Void Elves fill the void for High Elves but.." before asking the question.

It is why Alex's response is to not give up hope but make sure to be respectful when making your posts on the manner. It takes into consideration the reaction from Ion's answer, and the fact that it is still an ongoing discussion that is happening.

Also note that even the interviewer picked it as a question to ask because he felt it was important (as he says at the end of the video the questions he picked were the ones of import over the other questions of the 20 he had prepared). So it's good to see even though he feels High Elves on Alliance by Void Elves, he still felt it important to be one of the questions asked.



It is regarding High Elves though, in the most "worst case scenario" type way. The question was about the "High Elf fantasy" and if Void Elves could get additions to "almost give the High Elf feeling" and how did Alex respond to this?

Yes, it can change. Don't give up hope. But make your posts in a respectable manner.

Not, "Blood Elves are High Elves"

Not, "The Horde is waiting for you"

Not, "The Blood Elves are the High Elf fantasy"

This gives High Elf fans something to work with, and it shows that there is some internal support in Blizzard for the possibility.

Which was also the main point of the video, to showcase that even after design implementations are made it doesn't necessarily mean every employee is on board with that decision.

Well let's hope pro high elfers can be respectful from now on (some were respectful but A LOT weren't). Being respectful doesn't just include posting your opinion nicely, it includes being respectful to people who express their concerns on playable high elfs... not just shutting them down and calling them trolls cause they disagree.

Your post implies that you are completely blind to the fact that many people from both sides at this point insult each other.

You really mean this don't you?

Oh man, this is the best one yet. Both sides got people insulting other, harshly as well. Wishing cancer on someone should be rewarded with insta-ban and never get to join again, but saying it's only one side who do insults and trolls is both ignorant and dishonest.

Yeah, they said that to the pro-crowd only

Anti's expressed their concerns for playable high elfs and were met with insults from many pro's, simply because they disagreed. Some pro's retaliated with insults.. I'm not denying that.

Also, the Q&A question was a question FOR high elfs... so the response in turn was FOR high elf supporters (ie high elfer supporters please be respectful). I love how the only response you can muster is "lul anti's do it too so its okay that we do it" when Blizz just specifically said "please don't be disrespectful". Maybe when you learn to respect that others have an opinion and a right to disagree with you is maybe when you'll be taken a bit more seriously. Cute trigger response though, 0/10

This is sooo disingenuous for you to say that. You can go back to the first page of this very thread to see that the very first post after OP is a troll post.

Wow, that was a bunch of nonsense. Yeah, not what I said at all.

And no, I don't care if High Elves are playable or not. Blood Elves and Void Elves are doing that job very well for me. I might be triggered now after this post, because bullshit I don't tolerate.

[Deleted]

I would have had no issue with High Elves being playable from the very start, since Vanilla.

However 14 years on, we now have four different damn flavours of playable elves, some of which are identical to High Elves either in appearance or personality. Pick one and own it.

Some of us would still like to see Ogres. Can we replace Silvermoon with a damp cave? That can be their capitol.

Or give us some completely new and unique race. High Elves have nothing going for them.

You do realize that this is a megathread that was created after multiple previous HE threads.. all of which had pro high elfers insulting anti's (again anti's have also insulted pro's, not denying that). So this thread was created on the back of previous negative threads.

Then why are you in this thread? To troll?

Also, not BS. Anytime I've expressed my concerns about playable HE I've been insulted by pros. Many other anti's have been insulted too. Some pro's have been respectful but from my experience the majority have not. I'm calling it how I see it. Plain and simple.

Not only I "do realize that", I've been lurking and sometimes commenting in those threads for years. So if you want to tell fairy tails about innocent anti-High Elves being abused by High Elf fans, choose someone new on this forum. I know how it was and what it's been like before this thread, you won't be able to bs me.

Never said they were innocent either.. literally just said that in my last two posts. /baffled

Also, the ones with the victim complex seem to be the pro's... yet hilarious that they have for years insulted others who disagree with their agenda. Funny how even Blizz recognizes this and has asked them in this Q&A to please be respectful. I agree anti's need to be more respectful too. But don't act like pro's have been victimized... this is simply a result of their being rude in the first place purely because people disagree.

I am interested in the discussion.

What you wrote to me was bullshit, not that pro-helfers come with insults, we all know that happens. And some are way over the line. So yes, it was just nonsense because you haven't seen me insulting anti-helfers(or pro). I was just pointing out that both sides are just as bad when it comes to insults.Then you were attacking me for some reason. That was the bullshit.

Some pro's retaliated with insults.. I'm not denying that.

You meant anti here then? Because then stuff makes a bit more sense.

It's funny that you think they only meant the pro-helfers with that phrase. Baffled.
