I mean the roman and greek things, though. Imagine people being like “OMG can you believe the greeks copy pasted Jupiter and called him Zeus. And they even did it before Jupiter existed, which just goes to show what copycats they are. 
”
This literally has nothing to do with what I said originally anyway, so I’m just going to ignore your replies again because this is just dumb.
She is right though.
The High elves as we used to known them, were bleached night elves.
It wasn’t until the Horde got them that they started to look the way they do now.

The in-game model for the high elves was a recolor, yes. But I’m sure you understand what I am saying. You are just confusing the in-game model with the character design, to be obtuse.
You know exactly that what you are doing is like a Roman poet who claimed Homer copied the Aeneid.
I still remember the pushed in face look on some of them, it makes me laugh even now. Haha.

It would have been nice if Bliz had used a modified (shorter) night elf model for void/high elves and a modified (taller) blood elf model for Nightborn.
But here we are.
The difference in blood elf and Alliance high elf is mainly political, but it wouldn’t have been the first time Bliz used different models as indication of the “norm” of a people rather than actual seperation.

I understand it. I just think it doesn’t work.
Character design means nothing if it’s not applied in game. Concept art it’s just that, a concept to be realized, it means nothing if it’s not manifested.
Looking back, they looked like Yu Gi Oh characters…
And now I can’t unsee Kaiba’s face as a high elf questgiver…

I’m sure lots of people would have liked that better because then we wouldn’t have had to model share from one side to the other where the one got the exact model and the other got the altered icky one so I agree.
LMFAO! My brother used to be super into Yu-Gi-Oh and it’s funny you say that because I totally know where you are coming from. Haha.

Blizzard used a stand-in model until they got a right-looking one. Right looking meaning looking like the Warcraft 2 elves. At some point they said: "Yes, this looks like the in-game model for WC2 elves but in 3d and for Wow.
Alleria was obviously designed first. Claiming that Alleria copied Sylvannas is like claiming that the past copied the future. That WC2 copies WC3.
Just like saying that the British copied english from the Americans. The analogy is pretty much unavoidable. I’m just surprised no one had mentioned it before.

Remind me again when did this happen?
No, that’s just your speculation because you can’t let go of WC2. Everything moved on. Designs, story, everything.

The WC2 manual was printed before the WC3 manual. How?
Did the designers travel forward in the future to look at WC3 art and copy it? Or was it the other way around?
Alleria didn’t move on. She looks just like she did in the second war (the character I mean, not the model, which was 2d and then adapted for 3d).
An effect cannot precede it’s cause. So what you are saying is indeed nonsense. Not even wrong. And you know this.
Edit: The stand-in model was used in vanilla/classic. I can say that it’s a stand-in because it was replaced by the new one as soon as it was available. Just like Sylvannas’ recolor.

I have more nightborn than void elves atm…
My delicate feelings!
I appreciate the extra effort that went into nightborn but they really need a bit more of that extra effort.
And fancy updos.

What are we talking about today?

That was 25 years ago. 25.
And you really can’t see how strange it is that a character that has been missing for over 2 decades still looks like another one which has been present since the beginning of the current iteration of the game?
Were you involved in the design process? Or in the meetings and know that she was even being considered when Sylvanas was being designed?
No?
You want, real badly, to tell yourself that the devs never forgot her existence, and that they based Sylvanas on her, clearly, there’s nothing I can rationalize that would have you think otherwise.
I’ll just say that that’s not how character design works, though.
Currently, about how apparently Alleria was there all along and Sylvanas is somehow a copy of her and not the other way around… because who knows why?

WC2 isn’t relevant anymore.
High Elves faced near collapse and renamed themselves Blood Elves. The ones that stayed Alliance are few and far between like Mag points out

Because the past comes before the future. Not who knows why?
And instead of an argument, you say: WC2 is not relevant. Who knows why?
Well, because, the only way that you would be right is if it were not relevant. But it is relevant because we are talking about a WC2 character that was designed years before Sylvannas and you still think she was designed based on Sylvannas, which is impossible.
Therefore, you are like a Roman, who think the greek gods are a copy paste of the Roman, despite the fact they were created first.

huh? That seems to be an odd thing to talk about? Why does it matter who came first? I don’t feel they are a copy of each other either, there personalities is even different.
