Alliance needs a slam dunk Allied Race

And Dark Irons were an enemy faction.

The difference is over time high elves were shown to support the Alliance in several places several times.

The Thalassian people are split whether you agree with it or not.

I’m not, and never was surprised, by the request.

Though I personally would not trade my void elves for high elves.

God’s yes!

Both need a big buff I think.

Because I’ve pointed out that Nightborne and Night Elves aren’t the same where Void Elves and Blood Elves are and that you are one sided, that’s what you consider yikes? I mean you just called the other person you are replying to toxic but are you sure you aren’t the toxic one because you can’t even stand being corrected.

the difference is that was an NPC faction dude. Not one for players. There is a problem when you create a faction system between the playerbase and then you start making it so one faction’s core races have been copy and pasted to the other faction. It’s not good.

The amount of purposefully missing the point arguments is pretty clear from you though.

Oh I get its important to you. Honestly I just see where the story went that it’s not surprising players asked.

Especially those who liked blood elves.

You should blame blizzard for constantly setting it up not random players who requested what was in front of them.

And again. I prefer void elves not high elves.

Yep.

The remaining high elves are neutral. The appearance of alliance favoritism has reasons.

Reason being thanks to many many years of horde being the bad faction of choice…yeah, they aren’t gonna be overtly buddy buddy with them.

There is Vereesa. She has an invite to 2 b-day parties. Same day.

One for the king, one for garrosh (when still alive obv).

And her PR peeps are going yeah, do we even have to mention the bad press going to garrosh’s party will be.

As I see it the high elves aren’t horde buddy buddy from horde’s eternal cycle of being written as the bad guys.

Imagine if Blizzard took the most popular Alliance race and just gave it to the Horde.

Suppose Alliance got… Sethrakk (which people keep complaining about wanting), and Horde got playable Humans.

Who comes out ahead, there? Can you imagine the complaints? They would last for decades.

Can I gripe about how she really deserves (along with Jaina) a lot more blame for the Purge?

Like my gods the purge is so horrible when you get down to it.

!!!

I’d be over the moon!

Sethrak for the Alliance!
Alteraci for the Horde!

That’s exactly what I want.

(OK I fib a bit… I want neutral Sethrak.)

it’s hard to talk about the purge because of how mishandled it was. on one hand supposedly everybody was just imprisoned. then we got other quest text saying people were actually killed. it’s a mess of conflicting info.

or you could look at it like people love elves, so why not give them more of what they want?

Yeah it’s extremely frustrating on that.

The game makes it clear things were bad.

That should be either addressed or changed to match what blizzard truly intends.

If it really is that bad then Jaina and Vereesa are irredeemable in my mind…

Yeah but you are a fat panda, the dumbest race in this game.

I would go with Furbolg, Broken, or Vrykul which could add druid and shaman options. I would also ease a little bit off of the cosmic races for the Alliance until the Horde catches up a bit.

Almost nobody likes the in-game human male model. (The in-game human female model is okay.) The reason people play humans in WoW is usually because their racials are good in PvP, or because they want to play a paladin that isn’t a dwarf or draenei, or because they think it’s dishonest to play a void elf in-game if you aren’t a void elf IRL. So I think nobody would care.

The reason Horde players never ask for playable Horde humans is because they already basically got a hotter version of what they wanted back in TBC.

classic/tbcc for sure. I have a human rogue running around. Not picked for rp and such. Need all the help I can get. Bonus to sword…yeah I’ll have me some of that.

Retail the alliance pvp goto is human. CC breaker as a racial means I get the option to take the cc time reducer agility trinket instead. Its proved useful.

Scarlets. Starting area: The Scarlet Monastery

City capitol: Stratholme

Hmm… interesting idea.

Tell us more about this concept?

Start at the monestary, graduate levels from Western Plaguelands to Eastern Plaguelands to ruins of Lordaeron to Shadowfang Keep to Hillsbrad, to Southshore, to Stromgarde and ultimately? STRATHOLME as the city capitol of the Lordaeron Remnant, (Scarlets.)

Make them taller, thinner but still more athletic than SW humans, with all kinds of quest motivations and culture shock conflicts from the Forsaken, that is U N L E S S… -

-… The Forsaken inherit all the necropoles from the Scourge and pretty much coast out of Lordaeron and can launch assaults from anywhere their War Council, (Horde) wish.

The idea is to tie all the myriad former city-states that the humans had during WC 2 Tides of Darkness with an either antagonistic core concept/motivation (Scarlets) or a “condition,” like the Worgen of Gilneas.

Frankly, the decimated armies of SW are severely depleted. This would make it a pretty pressing recruitment need to absorb the Scarlet Crusaders.

I think that torch has been passed down to blood elves wanting everything that everyone else has for this weird vision of “uniqueness”.

Lordaeron, Northrend, and the Scourge are by far the best things in this entire franchise. It would be so awesome to be a Scarlet fanatic opposed by both the Alliance and the Horde.

Alliance don’t need anything.

They took center stage this entire expansion.
