I dunno. One of the last Q&As they used upvotes to help pick some questions if I remember correctly so obviously blizz values them to some degree when they are pretty worthless.
Well streamers have discussed it and it also has spread to other websites and forums to some degree or another.
They have mentioned that they are considering doing away with the lock system due to flags, but it sounds like they dont want to which boggles my mind.
Has anyone seen a true troll thread locked due to flags and not just buried? Ive seen bad OPs buried, but never locked due to flags.
I mean on one hand they probably dont want to keep stirring up trouble, but on the other hand they only answer easy questions or questions that they will address/have plans for most of the time.
I would make the case that people arenât willing to argue on the level as most of us crazies are.
Iam sure there are plenty that want it or donât want it, but not to the degree we have been advocating for here. But thanks to us, if it happens we have been apart of the process in a way. Viva la Quelâdorei!
Itâs super unlikely that theyâd answer a High Elf related question unless they were already planning on talking about it. In which case weâd know before the Q&A anyways.
A more general question about the future of the AR system post-BFA and the way itâs being approached conceptually is way more likely to get answered.
If Blizz has anything to say about high elves, it will be said in the announcements and panels, not the Q&A.
Particularly, I donât expect a playable race. But I would like to see them doing something with the void elves, be it more customization or a story development. If they admit they handled the situation badly, better yet.
The market is kind of narrow on most ARs really. You either really like Allied Race âAâ or you really dislike it. The High Elves May serve a broader group of players imo. What do you generally see in most fantasy settings⌠elves, they are just more appealing to a broader range.
But yeah, it is actually very interesting that we have Highborne on both factions; the difference of both groups -Shrendalar and Suramarian- what alternative magic source they used to hold on to their lifestyle.
Iâd love to see more interactions between those two groups, and while I think NB look different because of their specific isolation, Iâd LOVE if they gave NE Highborne the Nigthborne Ears, just because I like the idea that the only major phenotype difference between regular kaldorei and highborne was upward pointing ears (with NB and Thalassians having upward pointing ears, and several ancient Highborne statues also having them as well
There are a lot of ideas of how diminishing the faction split, or relating it to War Mode from a story perspective that sound far more interesting than the senseless hard split we have.
As I said, then every other group currently not in BFA is not alliance, which is ridiculous. There are many reasons why an allied group doesnât engage in a current conflict, from in universe to meta ones. Like itâs possible that the Kirin Tor is forcing the SC to lay low for the sake of peace within Dalaran.
But that any of these man the SC isnât an alliance faction is just so senseless and itâs like saddening we have at least 2 people clinging to this nonsense.
Considering that Alleria believes Silvermoon belongs in the Alliance, and Vereesa sees the Blood Elves as still able to âredeemâ themselves, itâs pretty evident eitherâs idea of reunification is not under a Horde banner.
And the idea that the 90% will flip sides to join the 10% doesnât really have a lot of merit. Alleria can wish for whatever she wants, and Vereesaâs contention that the Blood Elves need redeeming and that somehow the High Elves are more honorable than the group of Thalassians who actually chose to honor their fallen and engaged in the struggle to rebuild a shattered nation instead of hanging out in a) a hunting lodge, or b) safely hanging out in Dalaran or Stormwind is borderline insulting.
And this thread is two years old. Iâm not restating my viewpoints every time someone decides to join the conversation without first enlightening themselves by reading all that context.
Iâve been in these discussions since the old forums, Mythliel. No post of yours, or anyone elseâs for that matter, is going to sway my opinion that the High Elves failed to stand with their brethren when they were needed most.
My joke was in reference of that one post you made apparently surprised by what amounts to a civil war leading to opposite sides wanting to impose their will on others⌠as if thatâs not something that has regularly occurred in real life time since time immemorial.
Blood Elves can view the High Elves as having failed them. They can also understand their decision to leave. They can also view them as being unwanted to begin with. They can, as in most cases, not have any particular opinion about High Elves at all since theyâre more concerned with their own livelihoods.
The same in converse can be said about High Elves regarding Blood Elves.
