[Hypêrspace-dalaran (Hypêrspace)]

oh good grief dekkar.

[Hypêrspace-dalaran (Hypêrspace)]

thats what i just said. lol

[Starlagosa-dentarg (Starlagosa)]

Ok…fine go off topic or make crazy rationalizations for going off topic, please do it all you want.

Just please dont’ attack other people for going off topic. Be consistent…not hypocrites.
And Hyper, I’m not addressing this just to you but to all the helfers posting here.

[Galdor-maelstrom (Galdor)]

I don’t really care either way but the amount of effort and passion in the OP is astounding.

[Guzzle-barthilas]

Also, you spelled ‘Skäl’ wrong

The Minnesota viking strikes again.

[Hypêrspace-dalaran (Hypêrspace)]

so if we could get a race of elves that look as different as he does, still are thalassian but my gosh… did you see his hair? double click that . till its full size and scroll it to see his hair. thats best hair in the game to date. i wonder who’s in game alt he is from the dev tea…oh ion? wrath-ion? haha! now we know why he’s the best model to date.

they have perfected wavy/curly hair!

[Avarie-farstriders]

We’ll take the Thalassian model, give it a different stance, give them different expressions, a different dance, and give them white, white blue, blonde, brown, red, and black hair shades that differ from belf hair shades, and flesh tones that differ from belf flesh tones and voila.

[Alfgerdhr-moon-guard]

Since you have neither blue not green letters, you are simply a troublemaker.
now go away or post something relevant.
I’m betting you can’t do either.

The Minnesota viking strikes again

…and here’s your boyfriend!

[Hypêrspace-dalaran (Hypêrspace)]

and shorter ears. hehe

[Guzzle-barthilas]

We’ll take the Thalassian model

Very big of you.

[Hypêrspace-dalaran (Hypêrspace)]

/gimme hands
that guy is gorgeous.

[Dekkar-sisters-of-elune (Dekkar)]

your profile is hidden so now i can’t see your gear. ugh. -.-

[Broflake-illidan]

…but it is

But it isn’t per lore.
So…

Skal

[Dekkar-sisters-of-elune (Dekkar)]

there’s more to life than looks my dear. focusing so much on that can’t be good.

[Avarie-farstriders]

Most antis say it won’t make sense for them to have a different model, so

[Hypêrspace-dalaran (Hypêrspace)]

haha. real life is thattaway —>

[Prétre-sargeras]

Even the lightest Blood Elf skin tone still has some of that redness to it. Pretty much get rid of that on all the Blood Elf skin tones and you have paler elves.

Off topic…Does Wraithion look sort of like a barbary corsair?

[Avarie-farstriders]

I say give them tan to dark skin tones too. Would be pretty awesome.

[Softsong-aggramar (Softsong)]

You’re going to have to cite for this, because I have a creeping suspicion it is actually decades old (or, even, nonexistent considering your track record).

During the quest “Report to Silvia” on the alliance side, when speaking to Shandris regarding the highborne mage Estulan practicing arcane magic, Shandris says

“Were it not for Lady Tyrande’s recent mercy towards his kind, his execution would be my duty under the law.”

This is conversational dialogue from Classic, roughly a decade out-of-date. Why don’t you hit me with some citations that suggest such beliefs as you’re describing are widespread post-Cataclysm?

It doesn’t make it any less relevant? Especially when there’s nothing compelling enough to suggest that the Night elves that regarded the highborne in this manner feel any differently about them than they did before. These are views they’ve had for thousands of years, you’re going to have to try a lot harder than “a few years have passed so this is no longer relevant” if you want to convince me otherwise.

And which High Elves are these?

A portion of the current Alliance-aligned high elves. Many had returned to the alliance after the events of the third war, but by then the Alliance were already suspicious and weary. According to the Warcraft Encyclopedia “Furthermore, the night elves, who became part of the Alliance during the Third War, saw it as their duty to warn their new allies against the high elves. The Highborne’s part in bringing about the War of the Ancients figured heavily in the night elves’ retelling of high elf history.” not only suggesting that the Night elves sowed doubt among the alliance races, but also furthers the argument that they still held the High elves just as responsible for the events in the past as they did back then.

Right, but which Sentinels and from where? Because if they’re in Darnassus, that is Classic dialogue.

If you’re going to try and convince people that the Night Elves are getting progressively more distrustful of the Highborne, despite admitting them into their city permanently in Cataclysm and treating them as something akin to heroes in the most recent novella Elegy , then you’re going to have to provide some, or even any, evidence that even remotely suggests that to be the case.

I’m not going to hold my breath.

Any not any less relevant?

The examples in Elegy are individual Night elves, not representing the Night elven society as a whole. Shandris even says in her quest dialogue that her ability to work with them is that she won’t deny her sentinels aid due to her pride. Their willingness to work together is mostly to do with Tyrande’s mercy, not out of their enjoyment or friendly relationships. You’re gonna have to try a lot harder to uproot established relations that have existed for thousands of years with a few offhand examples.

You’re telling me to cite my sources, as a direct response to me actually citing my source. Am I being Punk’d right now?

Telling someone to “read a book” is not citing examples to prove your point. That’d be like me saying “Oh you want proof that Night elves and high elves don’t get a long? Read the wiki, or the encyclopedia!” If you’re going to try to counter my points, do so with compelling examples and evidence not vague “read a book” responses.

I’m not sure what you’re arguing here, since it’s somewhat irrelevant to what you initially took opposition to

It’s not though? Night Elves have had thousands of years to hold on to their grudges, and further their relations with the High elves. Their cultures, societies and customs greatly differ, especially in contrast to the fact that High and blood elves share the exact culture, and suffer many of the same struggles as one another. To suggest that all the night elves have suddenly changed viewpoints they’d held for thousands of years and now suddenly want to hold hands with elves they’ve held responsible for countless deaths of their kind, over the Blood Elves that welcomed High elves into Quel’danis, and to the Well, and even showed one of the prominent leaders of the High elves literally call out of reunification among all Thalassian Elves in Quel’thalas is pretty confounding.
