High Elf compromise

Aren’t there High Elves currently allied with the Alliance? Non Void Elf Elves.

I’m a little rusty on it, been a while since I’d read it.
I just know they’d all be dead if the humans didn’t help them survive the winter. I was thinking they helped with the trolls too.
They’ve been allies for centuries.
The elves living in the human kingdoms like Dalaran are the ones people are wanting to play. Makes sense to me.

There sure are. You see keep seeing them as well.

Yes there are. Which is why I say it is bad for game design. Sure it is good from a lore perspective. But a race that looks so similar to belves just doesn’t ring well with me. It’s like distance in game, Lorewise it literally takes like a days time to get from stormwind to Goldshire. But for game design it isn’t this way.

Classic is not comparable to high elves dude. Not nearly as popular or profitable potentially

The horde and Lordaeron are weird. Lordaeron treated everyone poorly, but the horde sure embraced them in their time of need.

You think they should remove all the High Elves models from the Alliance even if they are NPCs?

It’s very comparable.
Classic needed a whole lot of work and has probably made them a whole lot of money.
High Elves wouldn’t be all that hard to add and would probably make a lot more money than the effort needed.

No. I just think they shouldn’t be playable.

youre talking about 4 canon NPCs. 4 is perfectly in line with the lore that a few do exist in the alliance but are extremely rare

There aren’t private servers adding High Elves and taking players away from the main game like servers like Nost.

You keep telling yourself that dude.
If it was a thing, it would be done already.
It hasnt, you are wrong.

you can stop blatant lying my dude.

Many times i have defended black blood elves on those forums.

i would say more, but this is sad, just stop.

So is Alleria, you refuted your own argument.

it was for 15 years.

void elves are elves mutated by the void, they have void skin colors, and they should have more void skins.

no, they can’t.

Is like sayings trolls can get human colors too. nonsense.

fair and impartial? hahaha, you just want void elves to have the same skin color than blood elves, invalidating the very reason they made then different.

changing for the good yes, i see no reason to change the game to pamper a loud and minor community who want this game to be like some sort of lotr fantasy.

they are not.

Elves only allied with humans on the troll wars

Again, in the second war, but they quickly left.

A third time in wC3 when the alliance tried to genocide then, then they left.

yes, and like you said, lore have changed, they are now horde, accept and move on.

That’s entirely the point.[/quote]

again, my dude, it is not, the point is always people wanting the white and blond elves in the aliance, lore be dammed, all other points are just trying to masquerade that.

you can do that, you have void elves

or, you can play then in horde, cause is where most of then are

there is no point in bending the lore to support people headcanons and pointless demands, when this goes against the very essence of the game, blur and hurt the factions and the races itself

because…?

but they literally, already did what you are proposing friend.

they took some high elves, and made they look different from blood elves.

Yes, is so much enough that they are playable.

And again, the color is not the only thing, they have a completely and opposite thematic of high/blood elves.

Thats why they could cross factions

except again, this didn’t happen, by now, in lore elves had passed more time in the horde than in the alliance

If you want the elves who passed “centuries and millennia living with humans” pick void elves, they participate in the troll wars and second war.

They weren’t, proof? they are not even here anymore. Sylvanas employed subordinates who would do her evil deeds without question.

are you mad? dude was killing his own soldiers, you think that is fine because is sylvanas goals?

That is one of the big reasons they should keep the f out of the horde

what? kill his own companions to archive a goal? this not horde, never was.

of course it don’t, they were all righteous killed by the alliance and can’t defile the faction anymore.

high elves will not improve the game, don’t pretend it will.

they already did what you are suggesting, they already make it work

they changed their color and their thematic.

yes, because they are not white and blonde :joy:

they, technically are, because they were present in troll wars and second war.

this never existed, elves left the alliance after the second war and again in the third ward

you have an idea of the high elves who is pure fanfiction, high elves abandon their people and run again to the alliance like bootlickers.

people can pretend their void elf is from the silver covenant or any other place they wish so.

blizzard can simple say void elves are making more of then with the alliance high elves.

problem resolved, no need to create a new race of elves and undermine the ones we already have.

But of course, this isn’t enough, because they aren’t blond and white

said the liar and lore twisting worgen.

you run because i point it out all the bs you posted.

im still laughing a lot how you pretend that 4 glaives and one high elf fighting alongside the horde is an example of a big high elf force fighting against the horde

in what way? thats simple your opinion

it will not help the story at all, it will undermine and be a completely mess.

You guys have to accept that High elves, changed their name, and are now blood elves.

Anything that means to be a high is already on blood elves.

They have the high elf lore, the high elf ancient homeland, they have the high elf kingdom, the high elf people, the high elf characters, that now are blood elves

The high elf is their past, and the future of the high elves story is the blood elves, not the self-righteous wannabe alliance who deflect and abandon their own people to live nice and lazy in alliance lands

And Blizzard knows that.

Oh definitely, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with loving your faction. It’s only a problem when you use that as a way to deny lore and lore-nuance that is in front of everyone’s face.

They are stretching it VERY hard.

Not a “HE supporter” myself as I don’t care for elves and would much rather play as a goblin or a gnome but saying that they will not improve the game for the Alliance isn’t true at all. High Elves could very well end up with a very considerable pop increase for us. One we could honestly use.

But then we are stuck in a predicament where half the entire game is playing a fair-skinned elf. I don’t want that personally.

It would improve the game for the people who want to play them. That’s for sure.

Popularity tends to usually do that, and the High Elf request has been going since vanilla, picking up the most speed only recently with the AR system.

why increase the alliance pop since they are basically stable? even more with void elves surpassing almost all alliance races?

the only problem with imbalance is in the raiding scene and high elves will not improve that, cause is not about races but racials.

It will undermine the game lore, especially the blood elf and void elf lore.
