Elf fans. Do you still want High Elves?

@Zerde-sargeras

Oh please, again lore will likely be changed so void elves will be able to wield the light without causing them agony in the same vein forsaken paladins will do the same thing.

Blizzard will make the lore revolved around what we consider the established classes(with maybe a twist or two) and not the other way around.

When it happens you will have a point. At the moment though your position is built on a foundation of sand.

@Emet-zuljin

You Blood Elves just don’t get it.

We don’t care what you think about High Elves.

Kid, you absolutely care what I think. I know this because you have tirelessly sallied forth to scream your oppinion and throw petty insults at me for weeks.

And again: The High elves don’t actually add anything to the alliance. Their is no new perspective or niche that they fill beyond being a bunch of simps. The only race with less depth then them is Troggs. Christ the most well known high elves are a trio of sisters who are all archers and fell in love with a human that was a stand in for the author. This isn’t exactly selling anyone on their narrative value.

Or you could just play a blood elf. Because that’s what you’re describing.

Also the Velves got most of the Belf hairstyles.

Oh I’m confident this will happen because Blizzard has already said all class/race combos will be added. And they will not turn Void elves/Forsaken paladins into some masochist/some special type of paladin if only because Blizzard does like homogenizing the classes to a certain degree.

[Lucavitha-area-52]

I’d wait until they actually make the announcement before exhibiting any real confidence in that position.

[Emet-zuljin]

You sound Ion. Guess you forgot all the boos he got after that immature comment.

No surprise a Blood Elf would be so childish.

[Zerde-sargeras (Zerde)]

I’m confident because they is what they did with all the new class/race combos thus far. Even say the druids of Kul Tiras are still at their core regular druids with abit of death magic tossed in.

[Lucavitha-area-52]

Talks about maturity, keeps posting like a 12 year old.

[Emet-zuljin]

Indeed. They said they plan to do it in time. They just need time as classes like Paladin and Druid need extra work to keep with the class theme.

[Lucavitha-area-52]

Again: when they list a date for velf/forsaken paladins I’ll believe it. It’ll be stupid but it’s ultimately their game to be stupid with I suppose.

Besides which, I’d still much rather see a melee void class. Something that plays with the mutagenic aspects of the void.

If i wanted a BE I would play a BE I don’t want a BE I want a HE lol.

[Lucavitha-area-52]

I would like to play as a Naaru.

@Emet-zuljin

The Horde don’t make it a secret that they hate Blood Elves

@Emet-zuljin

The Alliance wants High Elves.

Periodic reminder, you do not speak for either faction.

@Emet-zuljin

They said they plan to do it in time.

No, they didn’t. Look, I’m all for all classes for all races, but the statements they have made have never been solid statements of intent of that. There’s caveats all over about how there’s no solid promises and such.

@Emet-zuljin

We, the Alliance, have wanted the real High Elves since Beta. Void Elves aren’t what we asked for. We will never stop wanting the #1 most requested allied race until we get what we asked for.

[Lucavitha-area-52]

My favourite part is despite hundreds and hundreds of posts in this thread alone Emet hasn’t actually articulated what niche high elves would actually fulfill.

[Lightspeêd-proudmoore]

@Lucavitha-area-52

what niche high elves would actually fulfill.

perhaps the solution for the paladin problem.

[Lucavitha-area-52]

Is there a shortage of paladin races on alliance that I wasn’t aware of?

[Naughtymoon-proudmoore (Naughtymoon)]

No but there is on Horde, just saying.

[Tacothebell-lightbringer]

The shortage is night elf paladins, introduced in the Legion paladin class hall, that are still not playable. I’d allow another horde race to be pallies as well to keep the existing balance of pally races on each faction.

[Lightspeêd-proudmoore]

no but theres no race on horde, other than forsaken and no race on alliance, other than void elves, who have any lore issues with playable paladin. helf would solve alliance paladin.

The thing about this, is that to the absolute best of my knowledge there are precisely 2 Nelf paladins that have ever existed… and one of them is dead. This strikes me as being more of an exception then anything else.

As to Horde races being paladins in return… None of them really fit other then maybe high mountain tauren?

@Lightspeêd-proudmoore

Again, I’m not seeing why this is a problem that needs to be resolved, let alone when there are multiple other races already in the alliance playable character list that would fit the bill; Worgen would be the most obvious choice, though kultirans would be a close second.
