High Elf Allied Race Megathread (Continuation)

You having an issue understanding a metaphor? Or did you see a word you associate with politics and get triggered. Chill dude, I don’t care about your view of the U.S. just the game.

Alliance doesn’t have claim to the blood elf race. Sorry. Their story is intertwined with blood elves.

Yeah…they do.

Context is everything, because you see, high elves split from night elves too many centuries ago, and became their own people over time after they split away. It is a clear marker of when they stopped being night elves and became their own race and story.
The high elves? They do not possess such a thing.
The high elves that refused to leave the alliance were still a part of the rest of their brethren’s history.
Afterwards when the high elves became blood elves, those remnants have had their story intertwine with the blood elves. Their history is shared, they only sit on the opposite side of that history. Sort of like how the U.S. shares the history of the civil war even though the South was on the losing side. They still share history, just as the U.S. and England shared history.

Purpose of a void elf is to present a classic looking elf for the alliance with a twist by being purple.
A high elf being playable would take that classic looking elf, and completely get rid of the twist. It would make the implementation and design of void elves unnecessary and ironiclly enough, void of needing to exist.

Comparison to void elf and night elf is a flawed comparison.

It was a fair question. Don’t try to gas light, it doesn’t work with me.

Not when it involves strawmanning an argument for the purpose of ignoring the rest of it. Aesthetics is clearly only a singular aspect, but you’re ignoring the rest of it.

Mmkay. I guess we visit different forums

No. Worgen please. You don’t get to pick for the Horde, though I appreciate the willingness.

They are identical in everything except politics.

Very true. It is a loaded question because no matter how you answer, it would weaken your position
If you said yes, then it demonstrates your views are illogical and improper.
If you said no, then you’d need to admit that high elves and blood elves are the same race. Wekening your position again.

The thing is, it doesn’t matter, because you can’t claim them as a different race, because *all the high elves and blood elves are from the same generation. So there is no way to claim they are a different race when they all came from silvermoon.

but somehow, you, and every other High elf support is trying to claim them as a different race despite their origins and lore.

not in terms of justifying being playable no.

If they were a different race entirely sure. They don’t have a developing story of their own.

No he didn’t.

They still came from silvermoon. Were raised in silver moon. Trained in silvermoon. Were all friends with each other until after the fall of quel’thalas.

At the same time the high elves obeyed orders by returning to silver moon.

The blood elves are horde because the horde faction helped them to reclaim their lands. The high elves are killing them because, reasons?

Sorry you cannot just make up numbers.

10% were left after Quel’thalas fell.
90% of that number were blood elves.
10% of that were high elves.
Of that 10%, some converted back to blood elves according to the encyclopedia.
So its less than 10% that were high elves.

Furthermore, there were also fatalies amongst the high elves, which means they are even more vastly outnumbered.

It is a lot easier to reduce a population by 10% when the population is smaller by volume.

they already did high elves. if the lore and faction based objections are seen as meaningless by you then you are essentially admitting that this has always just been a desire for the aesthetic of a pretty light skinned elf with other pretty people in the alliance. which is a position I have no respect for at all

if you asked the devs right after that if forsaken could get an undead elf option they would have said. the. exact. same. thing.

It is sad to see you troll, especially when you went on about it for ages in the last thread. I get you are frustrated, but I expected better. Shame.

Fair enough.

Quel’Danil is involved with the Alliance-Horde War already so…

No they arent. They were involved in the Cata-Mists war. The literal last time we saw anything about Quel’Danil was Cata.

Your overly dramatic end-of-the-world post deserved it.

By it, high elves would have ruined the game FOREVER. Such strong feelings! For losing nothing at all.

What difference will that make?

I mean…he has a point about void elves being invalidated.

The war never stopped buddy. Even in WoD, immediately after Broken Shore…

No. That war ended at the end of SoO. Google is your friend

If they were, then they really are just the scrappy replacement anyway.

If you think Void Elves’ entire worth is the Elf part, sure

But Void is a thing only they hold right now.

Let me ask you both a question then, would you race change your void elves if high elves came out?

And what was Ashran? Sports?

A clusterf***. But its not the same war.

Maybe you should take a step back and take a break. You’re being overly dramatic at the fact I don’t agree with your viewpoint. Get a drink of cold water.

As much of a difference as yours.

I’d race-change to high elf in a heartbeat.

No. Lavinya is meant to be a void-tainted lunatic.
