Official High Elf Discussion Megathread

[Luck4]

In the new character creation interface, there is no longer a distinction between basic, allied or neutral races.
Blizzard also wants players to embody what they want to be by providing more choice in this character creation.

Blizzard now has the choice of adding the High Elves to the alliance, either as a playable race or as customization for VE.

One of the two decisions chosen will satisfy me.

While I think High Elves are completely unlikely at this point, I'm still hoping you guys will have your desires of a fair-skinned elf somewhat fulfilled.

Blizzard double standards are clearly shown when you see an elf with purple skin in both factions and meanwhile when peoples ask for a fair-skinned Alliance counterpart they act like its something game-breaking.

It literally makes no sense at all.

There is a lot of free space in that new character creation screen

Yes that's it, now there will be no limit.

[Aeula]

I hope the character creation screen is updated with the new customisation soon. Once the blue eyes for Blood Elves are confirmed to be playable I hope it'll help put much of this long-winded conversation to rest and we can all move on.

Whatever.

If you're happy to display such ignorance in such lenghty posts, more power to you, I guess.

I won't bother responding to you anymore. You and the whole damn anti-helfers crew are the most toxic persons I ever had the displeasure to met on a forum anyway, so you won't be missed much.

I'm afraid you'll be sorely disappointed if you truly believe that it will amount to anything. blue eyes on Blood Elves just make them a mockery of the High Elves requested by Alliance players.

[Frenchvince]

I have the impression that there are more and more detractors or parrots here since the revelation of the personalization of the blood elves, it remains in the theme Sin'Dorei, it is perhaps that which makes them embittered.

Would be kinda sad to move on from the game after having played for years of playtime even, but yeah, hopefully it comes up soon so one can know whether to buy Shadowlands or not. Sure hope it's just silly datamining confusion as usual and they don't give it to blood elves, cause Shadowlands is looking pretty good so far.

Considering each post you make is best described as a hate filled screed at how awful the Blood Elves are when compared to the paragons of purity that are the exiles, I would question your definition of toxicity. It appears to be best described as 'those who don't agree with my personal headcanon'.

Like it or not, your interpretation of the lore is not a subjective take, it is actually flat out wrong and it is easy to demonstrate as such.

I'm afraid you'll be sorely disappointed if you truly believe that it will amount to anything. blue eyes on Blood Elves just make them a mockery of the High Elves requested by Alliance players.

I hope the people asking for Void Elves to have high elf like skins are paying attention, as that actually is a mockery of a result should it come to pass.

Blood Elves getting blue eyes however is not a mockery, given there is no difference between Blood Elves and the exiles on any level beyond political opinion.

To be fair if any addition to the game was going to do that it was going to be the Void Elves, the blatantly obvious compromise. As it hasn't happened I expect that if blue eyes are confirmed for Blood Elves as looks increasingly likely it will just trigger another forum spasm before it is decided true high elves don't have blue eyes, they have normal eyes with visible white sclera.

After that this discussion will flare up around potential void elf customisation and then there will be another spasm over what customisations Void Elves get in their pass and whether or not they meet the acceptable criteria for the pro high elf community. If they don't, then the debate will rumble on but will be utterly irrelevant as Blizzard will have looked at Void Elves and decided not to meet the pro High Elfers goals.
If they do meet their requirements the debate ends for the most part with the pro high elfers getting something but which proves those of us who have argued this has been about the aesthetic rather than the lore correct.

It will set things right imo. Sure call it mockery, but this should not come as a huge suprise realy. It should have been done at the end of bc realy, blizz had all these high elf fans drag along all these years is a little harsh.

But the fanatic ways of this thread makes it all good it will end soon hopefully. Most people see the high elf thread as wows toxic community at its best..

I also hope it happens, letting this whole tryhard topic to rest.

Considering that the allied race screen got removed, I wonder.

- - - Updated - - -

Almost 800 pages, just because one or two people don't want countless players to enjoy a fair-skinned elf on the Alliance. This is so sad.

That pretty much sums it up.

[LilSaihah]

Oh cool I can play a high elf now. And by now I mean in Shadowlands.

[Gentlepenguin]

Damn, this thing has nearly reached 800 pages. So what is the latest batch of madness in this thread? Besides personal attacks, how do people feel about the new customizations and all that is coming with Shadowlands?

Feel pretty great, all my Horde high elves are going to have blue eyes. It's just the best. I'm glad Ion is putting the nail in the high elf coffin and acknowledging they're playable for Horde only.

[Frenchvince]

We are invaded by embittered parrots lol

[Narwhalosh Whalescream]

It'll never happen anyways, void elves were a big fuck you from blizzard.

[Gentlepenguin]

We can't all be excited someone found a Silver Covenant High Elf pube in the Shadowlands, and a hint of Vereesa's fart.

Their entire eyes are blue, not that different from void Elves, so I doubt it.

Looked like it was just their irises to me?

It's a high-elf Pro thread here, are you aware?

The bitter parrots repeat the same thing all the time without having confirmation of anything concerning blue eyes for the blood elves, while everyone does not care.


And if not, yes, I'm very happy that there will still be high elf NPCs in shadowlands.

[Obelisk Kai]

Eye colour only really matters for Blood Elves and High Elves as lore has established their eyes respond to the dominant magic they are exposed to. Other races have different explanations for their eye colours which are unrelated to this situation.

Void Elves, while a different flavour of high elf, have taken the void into their very being and so their eye colours won't be able to vary to the same degree and will likely remain within a range that echoes their void theme. As their skin tones probably will.

Oh shit, the title just says High Elf Discussion Megathread. I'm here to discuss the high elves of the Horde.

You don't have any. You've got Blood Elves. There is a grand totla of zero Elves considering themselves to be High Elves on the Horde. never has been, never will be.

Those are not the same, sorry.
