Half Elf Thread

When I’m discussing lore of the AR, I’m discussing the actual lore of the current position of the AR. As in, what is the process Velves are going through to make other Velves, or can they reproduce? How do velves work, and can this apply to other races as well? Things like that, that apply to the current AR. I’m well aware that Velves have Established lore through Belves, but that is their past life and their current life has not much in the way of actual lore for certain people to get a clear understanding on how the race works other than the intro quest.

Which has been my own premise of the argument in regards to whether or not they should be treated equal in the way of their lore and their story telling. One or the other shouldn’t be put on the back burner forever just because it’s an AR. But, that doesn’t mean they should necessarily take priority over the storytelling that expands their race’s lore over the CR either.

Edit: I read that sentence wrong, but to my knowledge their start area is literally you talking to your AR leader and getting to choose where they go to quest. That itself isn’t really much to their lore coverage. Their intro quest however, expands only something to their lore and how they get recruited, or how they come about. But it doesn’t expand more information that some people that love the AR may want.

I agree, but I wouldn’t hold your breath and I wouldn’t expect ARs to get equal lore representation. Keep in mind of four main characters I do keys and raid on two are ARs so it’s not like I don’t have a horse in the race but it’s just not realistic. There are several core races direly in need of some time in the sun, ARs are at the back of the queue.

I don’t think anyone should expect AR to be at the front of the queue. At least not to me anyway. But they should still get coverage just as much as any race, once the other races that should and do deserve more get more expansion and coverage.

I have no objections to Half-Elves if done right and done well. But who knows when we’ll see another allied race after Vulpera and Junk Gnomes.

Elderscrolls has taught me, in a universe filled with unique races, Half Elves can still be interesting and unique.

Bretons are pretty much that universes half elves.

Plus I mean, almost every major Female High Elf NPC has hooked up with a Human man at some point. Makes sense for half elves.

A lot sooner than expecting a new core race. Itll probably be 9.0 though or pre-patch.

They’re just humans, but I can’t recall a single thing about them that made them interesting or unique. I had even forgotten they were half elves.

That is how inconsequential it is.

It amazes me players accept that cosmetics should be compromised.

As after all, that’s what High Elves are. A cosmetic and RP option Alliance players would like to have.

And the only reason it’s a big deal is because Horde players feel the need to gate keep what should be added to the game.

Because it’s part of their faction identity?

And before you raise the WC2 counterpoint. Belves have been Horde longer than Helves were in the Alliance of Lordaeron in WC2.

What is their fantasy trope? What is their niche though? They step on blood elf and human tropes. I just don’t see what hybrids bring to the game.

Its content some people want in the game? Thats what it brings. Im not in total support of Half Elves but Im ok with people requesting it.

Sounds rather boring.

I didn’t see old mate saying people shouldn’t. Disagreeing with something isn’t the same as trying to silence people.

“What is their fantasy trope? What is their niche though?”

Is what was questioned.

Is my full response. I do see what youre trying to get across but you only quoted half of my response. I never said the original person I quoted was trying to silence this thread.

Which is a perfectly legitimate question to ask.

Did you forget about undercity? I’m sure we lost that.

Also the kul-tiran elf… Mr doggo. Its a joke J O K E.

Complain to your Lich Queen! This city was destroyed by Blight and not some power used by allaince!
And so it was to create a huge trap for Anduin and his gang!

Yep! Kultirans void belve and junkgnomes cause humor before anything!

HA-HA

What you saying, Pluto?
