Well I hope Void Elves get green, gold, purple, and other Blood Elf eye colors since itâs okay for them to have our Void eye colors now apparently.
But you are still quoting the devs from an interview that was a load of crap, because you objectively canât RP whatever you want due to the forced faction system.
I canât RP as an Elf Paladin within the Alliance, for example, Alliance gets no option for that. Just as I canât properly RP as a Blood Elf Paladin who gets to refuse siding with either an Orc that historically invaded my homeland or an Undead Banshee that burns a tree full of babies.
I just stopped reading here, sorry, I was laughing too hardâŠthought your optimism is admirable.
I agree, I think for a second time they need to either revisit the topic and say âNo itâs not going to happenâ again or explain that it may be possible in the future.
You can also not wear Wildhammer tattoos as a Bronzebeard Dwarf, this does not suggest that they donât actually have access to Wildhammer Dwarves though. If you choose the high elf cosmetic, you have the option to choose from the High elf lore, and that includes everything that pertains to them. Itâs your choice to decide their past, and how they ended up where they have. Thereâs nothing stopping anyone from saying they were formally an Alliance high elf. Hence why they literally said that this was the purpose in the interview with tali.
You can be whoever you want silly. c:
I can see youâre upset, so Iâll leave you to it until you simmer down. <3
I did send you a picture with the High elf blue, and the Blood elf blue, were you able to determine which was which?

Because none of those look like the void elf blue to me.
You can decide their past, not which faction theyâre on. You CAN be a High elf, and maybe you were on the Alliance and left, maybe you were neutral and decided to rejoin the Blood elves. I agree, you canât RP that youâre on the opposite faction, but you could certainly RP that you switched over.
I suggest you go rewatch the interview! It was really insightful and fun to watch!
And realistic, considering the game supports the idea. But whatâs even more admirable is your horde-based toxicity.
Only ever really pushes our idea forward
Sure thing, the High Elf lore than turned into Blood Elves. Think the thing youâre not grasping is that High Elves arenât actually on the Horde side, only Blood Elves are, and until that changes you are still Blood elf, your pretending to be an alliance high elf is perfectly fine, no one can control what you do, but is not canon and itâs a lie, plain a simple.
Lol youâre so cute, you think you even remotely affect me. Honey all this ever is between us is me showing casual readers that your twisted view on lore is incorrect.
But please make your Blue eyed blood elf and pretend to be an Alliance High elf, as much as that contradicts world lore, just be sure to be in bed by 8, itâs a school night
Hardly, but everyone has their own opinion I guess.
Yes, having a disagreeing opinion and that the alliance shouldnât have a horde race is such toxicity. Iâm sorry youâre unable to comprehend the fact that some people disagree with the idea for actual reasons.
Itâs a semantics game lol, itâs an extremely identical blue whether you agree or not.
At that point I begin to wonder why you even oppose High Elves on the Alliance then if youâre this forgiving of two races having such slight but still identical color palette, because if itâs only the slightest bit changed in color pallette then what is the issue?
So basically I canât RP whatever I want then, in contrast to what the devs are trying to feed me.
Thereâs a reason why the devs said that you can decide who your character is regardless of quest text so if you, the player which to play as a high elf, that choice is open to you. You donât need to be a Blood elf anymore than a Bronzebeard Dwarf needs to be a Bronzebeard. Itâs also the entire purpose of the new starter zone, free of restrictive lore and plot.
In the end we can identify, and choose whichever member of a race we want, nicely facilitated by the customization targeted to encourage those choices. So, like the devs said, I can be a High elf regardless of quest-text. Which is pretty awesome!
Iâll go by what the devs said, and use the customization designed to let players play who they want. I look forward to playing as a high elf! You should too! <3
Itâs ironic because the crux of your entire worldview runs counter to this, as you are so strict in denying people the option to play as what they want to play.
Whatâs right for me isnât right for thee, as the saying goes.
Itâs not lore ignoring. The lore clearly states they left the alliance and joined the horde. Yes, they USED to be in the alliance before the game was even madeâŠthatâs clearly not the case anymore and the devs have already said it wonât be because theyâre horde.
Fact ignoring and ignoring what the devs say is silly. But feel free to be a hypocrite and say âWell youâre ignoring loreâ because you are too. The whole lore about the high elves leaving the alliance and joining the horde.
You get that wild hammer are also on the alliance right? Same as Alliance High Elves.
Blood Elves arenât. You pretending to be an Alliance High Elf is by recognized political canon lore incorrect and a lie.
But that shouldnât stop you, pretend all you want, like I said, no one can stop you from doing what you want with your character, just donât bring people into your fantasy claiming itâs true when it clearly isnât.
It is exactly lore ignoring, because not all of them left to join the Horde, some stayed in the Alliance and those are the ones weâve been asking for, you claiming that is incorrect is in fact incorrect.
So yes, it is exactly lore-ignoring. Sorry
Sure is. Thing is I didnât ignore what Ion said, he was right about the way he phrased it, he was wrong about the actual question, because his statement actively contradicts his game, so he is in fact, incorrect, about Alliance High Elves.
Sorry you canât understand that, but lore-nuance isnât most peoples strong point
I imagine you werenât able to choose between the High elf blue and the Blue blood elf blue huh? Although I donât blame you, as I took the two shades and put them through a color coder chart and theyâre nearly indistinguishable.
You also canât be a one-eyed- one-horned-flying-purple-people-eater, but I think most of us understood that wasnât what they meant. Clearly we accept the fact that we canât change which faction they are, but with these new options we can decide who they are, and what choices theyâve made. I can be a former alliance High elf if I choose, and have access to any of that lore, but I still have accept that the game requires me to be horde.
Who knows, maybe sometime in the future races can choose which faction they want to be on, until then more options are always welcomed.
Sorry you fail to understand where the devs stand and would rather try and twist what they say to fit your narrative. Theyâve had the same stance for 15 years. Itâll be more clear when blood elves finally get their high elven eyes back, too.
The Sand trolls arenât on the Horde either, and yet trolls can customize and choose to identify as them regardless as well. Thereâs quite a few options that reflect groups that donât belong to each respective faction being given access to the players, thatâs the entire point.
You donât have to be an Alliance High elf, you can join the Horde and be a Horde High elf if you see fit, thatâs the point, hence why they stressed that quest text doesnât matter, because it doesnât matter if it says Blood elf, if you wish to be a High elf, that choice is entirely yours. Itâs main selling point of these new customizations, and why theyâre designed to look like different members of the same race.
Sorry, one devs incorrect point of view, does not game lore make.
Yes this is called the Alliance story line that involves High Elves continuously and frequently, sorry youâre a Horde main?
More clear that what? Blood Elves received more non-canon customization? Okay lol, theyâre still Blood Elves, not our alliance High elves.
The saddest part of all of this is that you actually canât grasp the nuance of the lore between the two groups.
Guess that means all customization options are non-lore canon, glad weâre on the same page Snow, enjoy your fake blood elf High elf, Iâll enjoy my fake wild hammer dwarf .
Until World of Warcraft came out and they joined the horde. Sorry you donât know the lore.
I understand. But the alliance taking a horde race that will look exactly the same âbecause muh storyâ isnât going to fly and it shouldnât. Itâs a dumb idea. Imagine all the alliance players against horde players who demanded they get an alliance race? It would be filled with âTHAT WOULD JUST BE HORDE BIAS!â
Do you understand the irony that youâre trying to push this narrative about the devs wanting us to have more freedom to RP as we choose while coming to this thread specifically to celebrate that weâre being denied the opportunity to RP as something we want to be?
And honestly yes, there will never exist true freedom of RP unless the faction system is finally abolished.
