High Elf Allied Race Megathread (Continuation)

Literally just got Fat humans and Diaper gnomes as “Allied race slots”.

In this instance and especially for the Alliance, the bar for Allied races is actually just the ground.

I’m not following.

Are you suggesting this isn’t already the case?

Cause it is.

In Reforged News: It seems that they are going the easy way and making High Elves blue eyed and Blood Elves green eyed in terms of character portraits; understandable since Blood Elves are going to start mana tapping during the campaigns I guess.

Overall a lot more high elf unit icons than war 3 (There’s an Anasterian one and even a Jennalla Deemspring one!) And the “Elven farms” were redesigned to have a more BC Thalassian look.

Link to the Twitter with a lot of icons.

Doesn’t make a lot of sense in lore, since the blood elves would only start using fel after the end of their campaign, but I understand it’s for differentiation.

Almost as if high and blood elves weren’t the same thing, uh?

It’s just the easiest way to differentiate them at the end of the day, so big ol’ shrug.

But if they are the same thing, why differentiate them? :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

It seems this is just the start, as a Warcraft III nerd i’m safe to say there’s a lot of stuff missing still!

OMG, only now I noticed this!

Confirmation that Jennalla’s group was of high elves! YES!

My statement was already correct. Do not try to change my statements to push a false narrative Motors.

For aesthetic choice, just like your desire for pale elves.

I wonder why they would differentiate aesthetically something that is meant to be the same thing… hmmm…

Maybe, just maybe… it’s because it’s not just a name change, after all?

You…are joking right?
Are you honestly trying to say that the developers and storyline creators of WoW are wrong in their statements, because of an aesthetic change for a game that has recently been remade?

That is just intentionally being wrong because you don’t want to acknowledge the truth.
I am not surprised, you stated your reason for high elves is purely because you want to be a pale elf. You just don’t like Horde.

Stop focusing on aesthetics. If they were different people they’d be different people.

Seeing mentions of High Elf Hunters as a class choice for the race should they become playable, I must agree! I like Hunters. I have a lot of Hunters.

…I can always use one more Hunter.

Your logic: “Blizzard differentiate them because they are same thing.”

Real world logic: If you need to differentiate things, then they are not the same.

Or for aesthetic choices so people can see the two groups and differentiate them more easily even though they aren’t different people and did not have these differences in the cinematic for Blood elf Heritage quest?

So anyone without brown eyes is a different species of human?
That is definitely your logic.

How did I know the antis couldn’t stay away? Heh such a shame.

I haven’t checked to make sure my count is accurate, but I think that means 9 hunter 2 mage and 1 pally.

There is nothing wrong with more than one hunter!

I always thought that would be the case since why would a group of newly minted Blood Elves scatter and go on their own. It made far more sense they were a group of High Elves that got isolated and never managed to rendezvous with Kael.
