Official High Elf Discussion Megathread

[Benomatic]

Stromgarde would make a suitable High elf capital/bastion. They are familiar with the lands since the Amani troll wars. Taught humans how to wield arcane in Arathor...

[elbleuet]

With that assesment, dwarves, humans, ogres, etherals have been part of the horde ashwell. Let them now become playable options to!

Night elves, gnomes and Draeneï have been part of the Horde too I guess.

[Aldo Hawk]

Yep, now after all those years they decided to split their nation and join you guys, which is fine by me, I just don't like it when people talk nonsense and twist things. I'm happy you got it, and i hope you enjoy it, truely.
Undead human skin varients incoming! =)

Ok, so, this thread you are commenting on has existed for two years now.

And you honestly believe High elves have -just- 'joined' the Alliance -now-? Just because devs gave a pair of crappy skins to Void elves?

No, you are wrong then, High elves have been in the Alliance longer than they were in the Horde under the name Blood elf, some High elves didn't even returned to their former kingdom ever, and these are in the Alliance.

No sorry, u had a bunch of homeless ELVES, with nothing to back them up. With that assesment, all alliance races have also been a part of the horde for generations.

[Varodoc]

Have you heard the saying "don't count your chickens before they hatch"? They may, they may not, time will tell.

Considering how 3 years ago you and your friends thought pink skin tones for void elves were impossible, be quiet.

[Ielenia]

that the race was already playable

One group was playable. What was being requested was not that group.

And this was not the point that you quoted me so? and again, goblins didn't join the alliance so the horde would want one.

It has nothing to do with "having joined the other side or not". This is about representation within the faction.

and thats why i said most of the spammers, not all of then, its the very first thing i said in the quote you took, what is your point? just to be an agitator?

Because, again, you're being dishonest. You're taking people accepting a compromise as if it means "this is what we wanted all along".

[FlubberPuddy]

lool, such dishonesty, you are telling me putting this and saying it was ogres is the same thing of blizzard giving void elves? when ogres are not in the game and high elves were already in the other faction?

if they give me void ogres i would be completely fine dude, and ogres are not even in the game, i would be completely content with a void ogre instead, im not petty

sidestepping the actual question and example, this is what I mean. You, among majority of others care more about the looks. I remember when people used to say 'ok have high elves but make them FAT like Kul'Tirans, there's your high elves '

I'm proposing the same option to you here and you avoid it, because you care about looks of an ogre as well.

[Aldo Hawk]

No sorry, u had a bunch of homeless ELVES, with nothing to back them up. With that assesment, all alliance races have also been a part of the horde for generations.

I have never seen such wealthy homeless. You know, there's some cash involved when you can have mounts, armor, weapons, buildings, regalia, etc...

Apart from that, honestly, the rest of your post feel like gibberish, pretty please try to rephrase it so it can be understood.

[FlubberPuddy]

Congratulations after years of fighting for something that did not belong to you, you still got it! The power of persuasion is strong! Let us horde now banter together and fight for an undead human skin option!

@Strippling here's someone asking for undead human skin options, you should probably let them know that's not good because humans are unique to Alliance and Blizzard needs to preserve faction uniqueness, right?

I noticed you've let it slip by so just making sure you've seen it's how I said (people asking for human skins on Undead), maybe you didn't see it or something.

- - - Updated - - -

Make your own thread. No one's stopping you, come on

Nothing's stopping them at all, you're right. But no other race request will have the support and organization that High Elves did, so they try and ride the coattails in other race request threads that are much bigger.

Nah, it's ok, it's for the Horde, so I can't see what is the problem with that.

More human looking undead, like, very human looking, and, in fact, if it can look a little bit more alive it would be nice.

LOL, love the sig btw.

my Alteraci Human has some support I can feel it

[Rhlor]

Now as we have high elves in the Alliance, can blood elves finally stop being light elves?

my paladin with his golden eyes is a light elf! by the light! In addition it is called story progression !! If you play with the blood elves or on the side of the horde you will know that the way of the blood elves is this moment. in the last short story it is seen how lorthemar suffers for not seeing how terrible the path of kaelthas was.

I really hate story progression.

[Aldo Hawk]

Btw just a reminder that a Blood elf calling himself a High elf in the company of Blood elves/Living in Silvermoon whatever would put the individual on a target for others to destroy his dignity, since that individual would not be eligible to have such thing in the first place.

I say this because I see people talking about High elves being in the Horde now, just because Ion lied and blue eyes ended up coming to the Blood elves. No, your Blood elf can't call himself a High elf without it's consequences, you can't claim to be a connosieur of the lore and genuinely think that you can do that like nothing, Blood elf is not just a name, it's a badge of honor and a sign of respect for the fallen.

[Rhlor]

Yes please, I can't wait for the Blood elves to loose the Sunwell again so they go back at not being boring normie copypasta fantasy elfy elves and bring life to the concept of Blood elves that existed in TbC again.

It was just better, but Blizzard simply has a weird fetish with 'redemption' stories...

do you want to play tbc elves? the illidari are.

- - - Updated - - -

I really hate story progression.

I think most of us who play blood elves like our story progression! we like to have our sunwell

Damn, u just descripted pretty much every race known in the world, good job man

no... you are just using the analogy fallacy

Your way of thinking is so wrong.

my way of thinking is very right

Jaina Proudmoore is a Kul'Tiran. Does that make her less human than Anduin or Turalyon ?

you are ignoring that there is 2 breeds of humans in that area, one different of the other, in racial terms, if you don't ignore that, the answer come naturally

Face it Syegfryed. High elves are now playable on both sides.

i mean, since apparently to be a high elf you just need to have fair skin and be alliance? i was merely talking about the race, they are not high elves using void powers like a priest, they are high elves mutated by the void, the high elves people that players wanted

like i say, im completely fine with that, i was with the troop saying HE/BE wayfayers would turn into void elves, im just saying that "they are HE with shadow priest powers" and demand blood elf options is just obnoxious

Same deal than void elves. He mutated. Your point ?

another false analogy thing i see

[Aldo Hawk]

do you want to play tbc elves? the illidari are.

No thanks, and is not even the same nor similar so double nope.

I think most of us who play blood elves like our story progression! we like to have our sunwell

Destroy the Sunwell, free the Blood elves of being boring normie elves!

Damn, u just descripted pretty much every race known in the world, good job man

Yeah well excuse me if Warcraft doesn't tend to have races dedicated on being poor homeless, I was just making the observation that your spiteful commentary about High elves being just some homeless was anything but mindful.

No.

I will have to go to the hospital when my ribcage explode from laughing at the mere fact that Stormwindian NPCs will also use these 'different breed' of human.

Unless there is not any already that I haven't seen.

[Syegfryed]

One group was playable. What was being requested was not that group.

good thing im not talking about group, but race

It has nothing to do with "having joined the other side or not". This is about representation within the faction.

it have a lot to do with that

Because, again, you're being dishonest. You're taking people accepting a compromise as if it means "this is what we wanted all along".

no, like i said, im calling out people who want virtually 2 races in one, and yes, there is a lot of people that just want that all along, and don't pretend no one was like that.
