I think we are speaking two different languages here.
Here is the quote:
“They start out as a small group,” Danuser continues. “But it’s natural as other elves have found out about them — elves who are interested in new sources of magic, power, or opportunities — would see if they could undergo a similar process. They’re not … recruiting , necessarily, but they’re open to those who show a similar interest.”
The link is on the OP. First post.
Tell me what this has to do with Paladin. Don’t tell me similar interest (which is VOID) has to do with being a Paladin.
It depends on which race and age demographic you ask. Our generations ages slower but the game has been made in mind with the last generation who ages faster then we do. Men look like men while we have a prolonged baby face due the advancements in the skin care industry. Only young people are obsessed with staying young, they want to identify themselves like this in their games too.
I hardly believe that. Perhaps the Kul Tiran “dad bod” model but otherwise it looks like a peak condition mary sue human being which is fine to me. Perhaps this will change with a body mass slider in the future, who knows.
Breathe and open your mind and read, because I don’t know how many times I have said it.
We have High Elves. The very quote says it. We are not disputing that. But here, for the last time:
These High Elves are - studying - the Void! So, if they are studying the VOid, they can’t be Paladins. I don’t know how I can make the studying the Void part more clear and evident.
I don’t know how many times we can stretch this. Like I said, it’s becoming a time waste, so agree to disagree.
It’s possible the people posting against this are actual Blizzard employees who would then be required to code this in… and maybe they’d rather argue on the forum instead of doing their job.
It happens all the time all around the world. People complaining instead of getting to work.
Void elf paladins make sense. Please add them to the game. Thank you.
No offense taken. Perhaps this is also a cultural difference. Let’s just agree that there are many different people out there and so on, I actually believe you in this regard because I know some people in their 60ies who look rather in their 40ies and so on. But the male human model is fine to me. Maybe they will change it in the future but it’s not the biggest problem when it comes to the looks. The male Night Elves are very awkward.
I read the post and I had seen this post. Could you point me to the part he says “We added these skins so people can play as High Elves.” (which already had studying the Void anyway).?
A High Elf can be a Void Elf, but you’re a Void Elf as soon as you hit ‘Finish’ on your character select because you’re literally on a void infested plane of existence and your storyline revolves around using the void for good.
That doesn’t mean your character can’t have High Elf roots or storylines that cross-over with the Silver Covenant and Dalaran, but the void influence is a primary story aspect of your player character. You have void racial, flag, mount, aesthetic, and music.
Granted, there will be people who do not accept this, and that’s fine. But I think people need to just be real about what’s actually implemented in game, and what’s their own personal RP fantasy. At least until it actually get’s implemented, then it becomes a different story.
I read that. And how do this contradicts anything of what Danuser said? The point is that it was made in 2019, but this doesn’t mean in the slightest that these Elves are not the ones studying the Void or that warrants a Paladin class.
We’re on the same point, again, aside from the Paladin class.
Again. Danuser states why you can make more purple Elves.
Ely Cannon says they’re giving you High Elf options to play the experience and character you want.
You’re adding an extra step and deciding, “If you’ve got fair skin, that’s because High Elf Wayfarers joined.”
Doesn’t make sense. You’ve added that step. As far as what Ely cannon says, You can just be a High Elf, end of story.
But let’s go with it. Let’s say that if you’re a fair skinned Elf, then you’re a Blood Elf or a High Elf that just joined.
Well Discipline Priests and Holy Priests exist.
So, Paladin is fine.
So, it’s a moot point.
Even if your assumption is correct, it’s pointless.
If your argument is because of the nameplate, or because of the starting zone experience, then, once again, if we’re going by in game experiences you CAN have, you can be a Void Elf Holy Priest. So, once again, moot point.
You’ve got two ways to fail the debate here. Take your pick.
I kinda lost track of the actual request but why does the Void Elves need to be Paladins besides a few use it in the lore and in Cataclysm? Do the Horde elf-players want to switch over to the Alliance?
People who want to play a spook’dorei (Void Elf) usually either don’t want Paladins or want a Void Paladin. Which is fine, for Glyphs.
but High Elf players want a normal, Light style Paladin.
The arguments against High Elf Paladins is 1: That you’re a Void Elf. You can’t change Entropic Embrace, you have to start in Telogrus Rift, You can’t change your name plate.
But that argument falls apart because if you’re arguing that the in game experience is concrete and what you see in the game is the way things are, then you can play a Void Elf Holy Priest. So… argument over. Done. Void Elf Paladins are fine.
And if you think you’re playing a High Elf, despite entropic embrace popping, the name plate not saying “Elf” like it should and starting in Telogrus Rift, and you’re accepting the Art Directors comments that you can play the character you want, then you’re also fine.
And Ion says it’s fine and being looked at. So… we’re just asking Blizzard to do it.
