But you deny lore wise this customization shows HEs returning, but attribute the same thing in your benefit for HE fans on the Alliance for VEs? And you somehow given your postings would like to see hair for VEs as well further infringing on the BE main visual theme?

It doesnā€™t make sense to me other than you clearly have a bias in everything, because the same information Snowsong is using to prove a point you invalidate, but then use the same thing on your side to validate your own point?

Wee bit late on this, but thank you nonetheless.

We were talking about this a few hundred posts up.

It depends on how soon they were raised, the skill of the necromancer doing the raising and the magic involved in it. Forsaken all looking munted is 100% not lore accurate.

Iā€™ve known about it since the beta. Just havenā€™t gone on my blood elf toon till today.

It came out yesterday. I knew about it because someone asked about it after the extended maintenance ended early, so I hopped on, checked, and took a screenshot for them.

Both make lore sense.

Your making up this version where blood elves wouldnā€™t accept their own back if they return.

Lorā€™themar is already 100% on board with returning high elves. He has been for years.

We got two new skin tones that match jungle trolls. One is yellow. People widely assumed it meant Farraki.

Technically the other one shouldnā€™t have any living members left of which tribe it would represent. That being Dark Trolls.

Again though, these skins are just variations of jungle trolls.

The rest used the night elf voice box. That an error too?

They are not canon.

No where do void elves use or have those skins excepting Alleria herself.

I adhere to the wayfarers becoming void elves concept but we have no lore anywhere saying that that is actually what is going on.

Iā€™d say you should read it again.

Blizzard said it was to give that to both sides.

No he was giving them a chance because thatā€™s what the Horde does. Despite how he felt about them.

His main issue was them acting like they were better than him.

We see these options on belfs but not on velfs.

Itā€™s pretty clear that blizz sees these options currently as more RP for velf but a reality to belf.

Until they add npc void elves wearing the new skin (which they should do) and hopefully give us some confirmation that they are going through the training as Alleria did we have less reason to see these options as more than RP for velf.

All this said I think high elves are going both ways, but I cannot prove it any better for either side. Neither can you.

Trolls deserve more.

Also beardsā€¦ WTH blizz.

Also a skintone wouldnā€™t represent dark trolls. Dark trolls are basically the cavemen of the troll race and tower above every other troll race. Like the dire troll model comes the closest to the lore appearance of dark trolls.

for sure, iā€™d like the eyes lorā€™themar had during the death of volā€™jin cutscene.

Neat. I didnā€™t know that.

Dark trolls are in Zul Dazar, the Zandalari having relations with all tribes probably is a viable lore reason why more tribes joined the horde including the dark trolls if you need a lore reason. We have many of their ambassadors in Zul dazar.

How folk want to RP it is fine, but you cannot at this time claim itā€™s canon.

Feel like I should be making these last few posts on my horde mainā€¦ Lol heā€™s a troll hunter.

There is exactly one dark troll in Zuldazar who is kept around purely because her tribe has fallen.

I donā€™t really care. Tbh? We got the options, it makes lore sense since questing in the troll areas seems like we have gained their troll allies that the Zandalari had, even the tortollans for example. We have a tortollan as part of Talanjiā€™s council. Friends of the Zandalari are our friends. And their trade port may make it easier to join the horde, us getting more troll tribe skins is enough to be able to do that and rp that. Because of the Zandalari we also got Vulpera. So we make friends of our friendā€™s friends.

This is a you problem.

We have no reason to believe this.

The Farraki and Amani tribe sections are still hostile.

Only a few tribes side with the Horde and beyond that we have no canon lore or anything else to suggest it.

Tortollan are neutral. One on her council doesnā€™t make the race Horde.

RP is fine. Iā€™m saying you cannot say itā€™s canon.

This is not true.

Idk why you are bringing it up then because I never said it was canon. It is lore plausible, it makes sense. We got ingame evidence of it via customization. And the races arenā€™t a hive mind. Individuals can choose to join the horde even though a majority of their tribe donā€™t and that freedom makes it easier to rp with in a world of warcraft. Especially when the horde and alliance are the two major powers in the world.

No, but your party can be. Hey-oh!

I still havenā€™t gotten that since it requires 5 people : / and donā€™t feel like coordinating that. Got some of the other secret mounts though.

Same. Plus, you can only use it with said 5 people, so you better get it with a group you roll with often.
