Yeah, they only dismantled our entire civilization once.
Can look past that one minor little detail.
Majority or minority, who cares.
There’s still Quel’dorei in the Alliance and Ren’dorei.
They have no reason to pick a side here, especially if their motivations for doing so are the ‘well, there’s x more Elves on the Horde than there are on the Alliance…’.
If we’re talking about playable neutral Forest Trolls, the Amani aren’t going to be your tribe to do it with.
However we have the Reventusk who already are in the Horde, so they could become the Forest Troll we want as playable race for the Horde meanwhile the Alliance could get something else.
I know a lot of people on here support broken, but I would be shocked if they actually tried it. The amount of backlash they would receive about adding an ‘ugly’ race would put them off doing such.
If they did revert to two ARs I am not really sure what they use on the Alliance side.
If not Broken and considering the High Elf request became Void Elves, perhaps the Arathi Half-Elves? It would fit on Blizzard wanting to do a unique twist, since both Blood and Void Elves can look as a High Elf.
Broken aren’t so ugly and if they want they can “embellish” them. Also after Mecagnomes I think everything is possible now as playable race. We already have some people Harronir are “ugly”.
Broken are in the Alliance since BC and if they could become a playable race it could be a nice thing. Feel free to dislike them.
Broken are from Outland, they have nothing in common with the Void Elves. You must speak about Krokul if you speak about the Void.
Also many people want to play Broken as other races like Ogres or Forest Trolls.
Case in point above, sadly. That is sorta what I’d expect en masse.
The one way I could see Broken implemented is if it was done as part of a BFA sized bulk AR addition where they can use a couple of ‘pretty’ races as the marketing poster children.
I dislike it, as I know some people would like them… but I just would be surprised if they pulled the trigger as part of a pairing with forest trolls.
It’s just a suggestion because Krokul have some connection to the Void but nothing tell us they will be a playable race pairing with the Forest Trolls. It’s just an assumption and I don’t think they will playable in Midnight.
Ok, but as long as its not a cringe reason. The last thing I want is for a millennia long, mutual hatred, to be utterly defeated by like, 30 minutes of “Wow, you killed that Void Terror threatening both our homes, but was in my own home that we asked the Zandalari to help with, my hatred was totally misplaced of the Elves all along!”
If anything, I’d prefer if they don’t work out their differences, but perhaps build on a begrudging respect both sides might have for each other after so many years of warfare and hatred. Work in individual NPCs who moved past the hatred, build to it for the far future cancelation of the hate, not immediate erasure just cause they helped once. Sin’dorei literally murdered all their champions with our help less than 20 years ago, in TBC.
If you really mean to call out the Blizzard devs on a story that they’ve probably alredy finsihed writing, and if you truly had the balls, you’d be doing it in General Discussion.
