High Elf POSITIVITY Thread 😎

But instead you brought up something completely unrelated.

As if the sins of someone else excuses the sins of the other.

That’s not how things work.

EDIT: Anyway, I really need to eat, I can’t live on snacking on dry cereal.

From the unjustly mass-flagged High Elf Love Thread :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

I think this is fair because in terms of their personalities and values I prefer Blood Elves and the traits I attribute to them are not in my eyes negative, but I would still describe High Elves as more reserved and stoic and advocate for them because others prefer those traits.

I haven’t seen anyone argue that only HEs are mages or Farstriders though. I’ve seen the argument that Blood Elves value their luxury a bit more then HEs do in a lot of instances.

Again, you asked…

And I pointed out the fact that the blood elves in Dalaran were mostly arrested, while the night elves in Teldrassil were almost completely exterminated. The purge of Dalaran was a slap on the wrist, compared to the destruction of Teldrassil. So, generally speaking, yes. It is only bad when the Horde does it.

End of discussion.

I dunno if you were around for it, but I’ve seen a good chunk of the discussion about modified models centering around the idea that the high elves are more rugged than the blood elves and thus would be bigger etc.

That’s probably my favourite piece of High Elf art. Amazing.

I am jealous of the amazing artists.

They High Elves being “Pure” and “Innocent” was never a large focus on the request.

People enjoyed kicking the Horde out of Dalaran. It was the Alliance “Fist Bumping” moment in the Xpac.

The entire idea that the Alliance wanted “Goodietooshoes” Elves was a false on.

The Alliance wants to get away from “Goodietooshoes” anyway.

I like the ones with the feathers.

Just remember that they feel that way about other artists too :slight_smile:

Actually your post is surrounded by a whole long conversation around it. It was very on topic.

I’ve seen that actually, I thought you were saying that people argue that only HEs are more mage like or farstrider in nature.

I think that stems from the lifestyle difference people see though. Just as far as Quel’danil lodge, or being out with the Wildhammer dwarves (I’m actually blanking where these ones are or if it’s the Quel’danil location also) or Allerian stronghold.

So I would NOT (I left out not added it in) argue that they are more Farstrider then the Blood Elves but I am inclined to be swayed by people who bring up the lifestyle differences. Because at the end of the day the Blood Elf Farstriders have a kingdom backing them, they can I would assume change patrols out, some might return to Silvermooon and then go back on patrol etc. Where as the Quel’danil lodge is all those Farstriders have, and I think I’ve seen arguments for bringing HE’s in that would bring all the Alliance aligned HEs in as one, but still use that model just to help shift from the BE model, which I support too.

Yeah I love this concept of “nature-based” High Elves, like the ones in the Hinterlands.

Btw I’d like to clarify I’m not the one creating any of these fan art drawings/creations that I’m posting lately (I wish lol). You’ll find the artist either on the website I link or by the signature that appears on each image.

Actually the purity of Alliance high elves is often brought up. Not just with the eating fel or other variant argument. Also, the Blood Elves not being sufficient because they are too self-superior is the other one. The Silver covenant is waaaay worst then Blood Elves. Also people can’t play on the Horde because they’re big meanies. The Silver Covenant is a nothing more than a minor villain.

Bad news…

I really like female hairstyle 1, 2, 2, 8 and 6. I don’t really know if I’d really ever expect to see anyone in WoW using the other hairstyles though. Still, it’s all amazing.

For the male hairstyles: Second panel, option 3. I don’t really like the idea of them having half of their head shaved, and it seems like that’s what a lot of them have. The mohawks and those, like, 80’s punk style haircuts are also something I’d pass on.

I still think all of this art is fantastic though.

Fun fact.

The guards treat Rogues and Warlocks better then Hunters.

Ask a guard where the Hunter Trainer is and they are mildly disgusted.

Ask for the Paladin trainer and they demand you show respect or your head is on the line.

More of Malfurion and Night Elves beating the snot out of Horde, please. Let Night Elves become more savage and do away with Tyranduh.

I want night elves to be the ones who kill sylvanas. We deserve the honor.
