You can continue to pass off your head cannon as fact without every actually giving solid evidence besides “They’re a different color, and they have what i think are tentacles but is actually hair”, doesn’t make you right, just shows you twisting the lore to fit your narrative, until Blizzard comes out and says they’re fundamentally different, they’re not. They’re Blood elves infused with magic. If they were a different race entirely they wouldnt even be called elves, but once again, nice try and nice trolling.
As I’ve said before, it doesn’t even remotely matter since we’ve had High Elves on the Alliance for this entire games history. And if you wanna get technical, since Void Elves aren’t the same race, its justifiable to get the Thalassian race then doesnt it? Since you have our Night Elves just with more magic and skinnier.
INB4, “I’m going to compare real world evolution to WoW evolution.” I love the antis.
So one race is ok but not for the other?
Yeah you’re back, alright.
That wouldn’t be based on their appearances now would it?
How? If I understand the legit ingame lore( and NOT the speculations on forums), they’ve just happened so no babies yet. also this is an INFLICTED condition so whether it would carry over into the next generation is very unlikely.
Hey, the same with BELFS! You’re all redeemed and all that and the Sunwell is HOLY! So what ya still doing calling youself Blood Elves, unless you’re still pledged to ol’ Kael!, not to mention still in the Horde. A lot of them don’t think you belong, amirite?
Orcs? Trolls? Other Hordies? Whadda ya say?
He was wrong there since there are several. Silver Covenant holdings, Allerian Stronghold, Stormwind, Quel’danil Lodge, Farstrider Lodge, ect.
Developers are humans and they can forget things.
That’s Blood Elves.
We want High Elves. And Blood Elves do not count for that.
No, they said if you want to play a Fair Skinned Elf, but that’s not the main reason for wanting High Elves since people want to play the High Elf fantasy that the Blood Elves just do not have in anyway shape or form other than being Elves.
Youre going to have to quote a reputable source that says they were actually genetically changed first to make that argument fly. Specifically genetic changes.
Disease can change blood color in humans.
People grow all sorts of odd things.
Skin color can change due to diet for crying out loud.
So the question is: were they infused with void magic like a disease or did they get altered on a genetic level? Even if their genes were mutated, does that change their species? Sub species or new species are created through reproduction, usually over many generations.
he’s …i dont want to say he’s lying, nor that he’s incorrect, but he’s incorrect. he has high elves all over the game. and according to your own statement that belves are considering joining the void elves (alliance), even if they are only just studying the void (cross faction science!), it dawned on me there would’ve been blood elves since they were named blood elves, trying to join the alliance and abandoning the title blood elf. we should have green eyed beauties walking the streets of stormwind right now.
the only reason blizz hasnt given the players what they want is because players like you argue against it. i’m sure they would’ve done so already, if that wasnt the case. they’re holding human skinned elves exclusively for the horde, after all these years, because they care about the horde playerbase, which they’ve polished into a nice big population.
One arguement I can see being made from the antis and I think I’ve seen before that the core Thalassian race, the Blood Elves, will only have one Thalassian race available to the Horde, while the Alliance will have two. Here is a simple solution. The San’layn. Say Sylvanas finds a way to make her Dark Rangers stronger by using a similar method of creating San’layn. It’s possible, since she has allied with them and has tested new ways to make Undead before, and upgrade them, like Nathanos.
blood elves are the high elves the difference is an adjective
alliance high elves are biologically identical to blood elves, and this includes the addiction to magic(spoilers its because they are the same race if you havent finished wc3)
the fantasy trope of being a light skinned and majestic elf living in a grand elven city is already available to play
they arent going to throw away the faction identities yet and give that exact race to the alliance. if they do, congratulations you can finally have the aesthetic of being a light skinned elf grouping with humans which is whats its always been about and even the devs know it and infamously called it out
Here is what we want, we want to play the High elves on the alliance. Makes for a more immersive world, to gain rep with that character, use alliance weapons and mounts. Doesn’t really work that way with
Blood elves.
If they had no high elves associated or partaking in the alliance story, then we wouldn’t be having this conversation.
That’s not even a issue to be honest, just a arbitrary barrier the antis try to push. It’s irrelevant if the Alliance would have 1 more model of Thalassian Elves if they do High Elves, the Alliance already own them.
“The Alliance have 1 more Thalassian model than the Horde? Unacceptable! That will kill the game!”
our elf ideas include dark skin varieties. you always just go for the light skinned commentary. what if i want to play an elf that looks indian or asian or african? we dont get those options because you’re hung up on light skin. so our only option is blue tentacles.
If by ‘few’ you mean ‘relatively small number’, I agree. also not all of them stayed with Quel’Thalas: my point is there ARE still High Elves, as such, in this game AND
They should be playable as Alliance!
silver covenant, by example.
If you say ‘that’s stealing a Horde theme’, well the Horde has an Alliance race.
Forsaken. They are ALL Human Undead and, as there are absolutely NO other Forsaken from other races of any faction, it may subsumed as a Human hybrid, of a certain condirion. They’ve kept their Human names! Nathanos even looks more Human than most, save for eyes and a ghastly prison-pallor for skin.
SO…!
You get one? Fine so we.
how else am i supposed to take your comment, when i can count the number of alliance high elves in bfa on one hand. who have no impact on the alliance story. who are there as nods to the past that at one point in time silvermoon was aligned with the alliance. who are nothing but flavor props blizzard uses not unlike undead elves for the horde or that one goblin in si:7. they are not a part of the alliance story in any capacity beyond a flavor NPC that adds depth and texture to the game
Well tbh I’ve had bad hair days that felt/looked like that lol.
As for the rest, agree; what else do you expect from frightened peoples who are afraid of playing the REAL Horde races?
