High Elf Allied Race Megathread (Continuation)

Nah, I’m talking normal playable from Vanilla dwarves, as they seem to meet Mowa’s criteria.

In that instance, yes, but Baine didn’t thought so.

That quest is fun, but oddly enough I like goblins so I felt bad.

Well, that would have involved Blizzard caring about Tauren story for more than the moment a quest happens in.

If it helps, I love Tauren. I will fight to prevent TB from meeting the same fate as Teldrassil.


start here i guess. i mean the whole thing is interesting!

you recall the nelf are dark elf good aligned yeah? so i dont have to search thru the vid or thread to find it lol

It’s the more likely route that Blizzard will take, going forward, unless they decide to pull the trigger on getting rid of the factions. It isn’t what I’d prefer to see, but it’s indicated to be occurring nonetheless.

The biggest reason I would hate for the night elves to become complete zenophobes again is that it would make it easier for blizzard to render them to further uselessness as if they haven’t done enough already. I’d rather the night elves find solace and friend ship with the races that helped… although the high elves in this instance have not… at least not in game… there will be a book eventually that most of us wont read haha. High elves seem like a better candidate for friendship vs. the SW humans whom have been absent allies besides setting up a few tents near a pumpkin patch.

Yeah, well… this is a game series in which healing spells and potions exist. In fact, pirate rogues even have an ability that makes them pull a healing potion out and drink it.

Yes, that’s exactly what I said. The Blood Elves, during the Scourge, were essentially abandoned by, well, everyone. And to their minds, by the Light as well. Hard to keep saying “Well, God’s still on my side at least.” when 9 out of every 10 people you know just died in front of you. Maybe Mother Teresa could pull that off, idk.

So, believing themselves abandoned, when Liadrin became the first Blood Knight by taking power from her newly forged link with M’uru, she decided that the way to show the Horde they belonged was by proving that those who mastered the light were stronger than those who served it by leading her Blood Knights and setting them to putting out the eternal flame at Alonsus Chapel and putting it to the torch.

Evil? In your view obviously. From their point of view, no. Good and Evil™ are entirely subjective, depending on who’s telling the tale.

If Blizzard intends for the factions remain intact, then I’d agree with all of this.

If Blizzard intends for the factions to disappear, it just strikes me as more appropriate for the Night Elves (and Highborne) to adjoin themselves to the Nightborne and function as a single, interrelated political bloc within the narrative.

You act the same way so I am not sure why you’re blatantly insulting her/him/attack helicopter.

The war was over when they withdrew. I suppose he is cowardly for going toe to toe with the lich king in old age though.

The high elves were also mana addicts so…

No provocation? We’re in a war. And the blood elves still hold the humans largely responsible for the destruction of their kingdom and the loss of so many of their people as evidenced by the dialogue in Silvermoon. Any side looks evil when you’re looking at from the other faction.

The thing is, my point wasn’t that Blood Elves were universally evil, instead, some of them were during BC because of their actions, specifically Kael’thas and his loyalists and most of the Blood Knights including Liadrin until she jumped Kael’thas boat. After that i even said they got their redemption, but they aren’t cool as they used to be.

We have to remember that in WoW, we don’t play races as a whole, we play factions and groups of races, a Human character is speficically a Human from Stormwind, not a Human from the Argent Crusade or a Human from Dalaran, a Blood Elf character is a Blood Elf from SIlvermoon, not a Scryer, not a Blood Elf from the Twilight Hammer (and also not a High Elf).

So if i was saying that the Blood Elves were evil in BC, i wasn’t referring universally to them, because the ones in Silvermoon were basically being manipulated by Kael’thas and were just trying to survive, but in the expansion as a whole, the most evident image that we have of the Blood Elves is them coming off as a evil, but in reality it wasn’t the playable Silvermoon Elves, but the other ones, and we fought them in the entire expansion, Terokkar, Shadowmoon, Netherstorm, Black Temple, Quel’danas.

Hey, we could have quit whenever we wanted to!

So are you the pot or the kettle?

War with the Argent Dawn? That’s rich.

What a bunch of nonsense…

I miss playing Warcraft III, the Human campaign were we destroy Quel’thalas with Arthas leading his army of Humans was my favorite.

To be fair, when Arthas marched the scourge through Quel’Thalas, there wasnt much a Human force could have done to stop them. Also Quel’thalas wasnt part of the alliance so that door swings both ways, the elves that helped with the scourge did so on their own accord.

Even though they’re the ones who left the Alliance in the first place? Plus, the humans kinda had troubles of their own, what with their king being killed and the plague and stuff.

Oh snap, you sure showed me by literally mimicking what I just said.
Finger guns
I wish I was witty like you.

I believe the displeasure is also due to how Kael’thas and a number of blood elves were locked up and no one did anything about it. Not Dalaran, not Jaina, no one.
