Official High Elf Discussion Megathread

[Astranea]

From what I've gleamed from links allied races will be done away with altogether and merged into current races for people to play, I'm kinda hoping its done this way because then some of the original races can get access to some of the AR hairstyles through a combined system.

Sounds cool. But... what links? Where did you read this EXACTLY?

[FlubberPuddy]

I think you need to re-read. The paragraph under greetings.

You’re continuing to show lack of reading comprehension.

But it’s okay, think how you wish.

[Rhlor]

They were not feeding, mana is not a food for them, they were satiating an addiction, kill to satiate an addiction is not very morally correct.

Is not comparable to food. Is not a necessity.

the children, old people and sick people were dying.

i am pretty sure he would have made void elves origin high elf instead of blood elf.

this

the policy of fair-skinned blond elves in the horde would remain but the void elves lore would be much better

[FlubberPuddy]

A hypocritical policy considering purple-skinned elves in Alliance don't remain exclusive.

but the alliance now has the most played model of the horde and the horde does not have the most played model of the alliance!

Really, this point is not something that I ignore, I took that into account and not mentioning it the last time or constantly doesn't mean I didn't knew about it. In fact, I myself have mentioned this dozens of times.

Still doesn't make it equal to food...

In this case, it might be as well being treated as a medicine for those.

And apart from that, you have the others who weren't weak. Is still mana consumption like food for them?

No. It is an addiction.

I know the comparison and image of it is harsh but look at it as sick, weak people, child and old people taking hard drugs periodically non-stop, and then it simply being taken away from them. They are not at peak constitution performance isn't it? You can't compare to adults who are relatively healthy.

It still doesn't make mana consumption equal to eating food or drinking water. It is an addiction. They are not like the Nightborne, which, last time we knew, were freed from -actual- need of consuming mana to survive thanks to the Arcan'dor.

That's not the point of the trade, and people should stop having some weird ass comparisons.

It's like when people were trying to balance number of Druids on Horde with number of Paladins on Alliance. It's a dumb fuck comparison because Druid amount was only balanced amongst itselves based on races per side.

It's number of Paladins on Alliance and number of Shaman on Horde that's a more correct comparison.

For the Elven AR, it was Elf for Elf. Again, hypocritical since purple elves didn't stay unique to Alliance, yet nobody cares about that.

Probably because people don't actually care about being fair when it's not "their side" that gets the short end of the stick.

[bullseyed]

?????????

I don't follow. What about this is hypothetical?

Basically.

- - - Updated - - -

That is honestly pure mental gymnastics. People don't call every binary choice with loose ends hypotheticals. They use trends to infer probability instead.

Seems like a misnomer to me.

We should create a thread about adding Jedi to WoW. It could happen.

Horde got Undead, it's just dead Humans. So in essence the horde does :-)

Is this a joke? Did you miss the glowy tattoos, and altered model on the nightborne? If its about skin color, let me know where i can get pink and flesh colored nightborne please.

Blood of the higborne.
The power coming from the sunwell was comparable to eating, or breathing.

*shrug*

All elves have an addiction to magic except for the nightborne.
The night elves = moon well
High elves/blood elves= sun well
Naga= addicted to magic as well

Anyways, that ticket cracked me up. Was good.

I was first typing out a response to easy bait, but your ignorance is so boundless it's not worth it. Left the bold to keep showing the hypocrisy.

rommath says in suramar that they were cured of addiction. Even so, children's lives should be more important than animals

I speak of the model, the alliance has the model of the most played race of the horde and the horde does not have that of the alliance.

Horde still keep asking for it through "Nathanos like Undead" and "Calia is gonna usher in new Light Undead for Forsaken" and no one's throwing a fit. So that just shows my earlier point, if "my side" isn't the one that's getting the short-end of the stick, then no one truly cares.

I am just messing with you, I know what you mean. Alliance should keep the silly humans for themselves.

I never thought about this disparity. Need to remember it when helfers complain that they didn't get a light skinned elf option so it's unfair for the alliance.

The part where they say 'the topic has already been addressed by Ion' stood out to me.

The cm didn't have to mention anything about Ion and the topic having been already addressed if all his/her point was that they didn't want you to add to spamming the forum. It's significant.

[Starla]

Humans are the popular race in the alliance.

[Aleax]

For all fans of Tolkien High Elves, you don't play the right game.

Here is the game you should play:

(Besides, HE shouldn't get to play the paladin class. Blood Elves "stole" the light in BC that's "why" they can be paladins, High Elves never "stole" the light of a Naaru.....and certainly not at the time of the founding of the Silver Hand.....yep)

[Broflake]

Hypocrisy does not mean what you think it means.
Just because you're fixated on skin color, does not mean your argument is valid. If you're going to complain about skin color, then where are my pink Nightborne and flesh colored nightborne?
Night elves have access to such skin tones.
You're so busy focusing on "purple elves", you ignore everything else to argue a fallacious point that had at best, a weak foundation.

[Rhlor]

Are they playable? the void elves are playable

Doubtful the Night Elf model is played as much as it is (yet still isn't as popular as BE and Humans) because it's model is popular but more so because NE can be druids.
Also...interesting is it's NOT popular for the Horde. Seems the Horde players just don't like it or it can't be Druid.
