High Elf POSITIVITY Thread 😎

kt are the best allied race. they’d be so lucky to get something else as cool. (this is where i veer from team helfer into team horde who would rather kt have been horde since the alliance doesn’t appreciate them)

blizz would have gotten a lot of money from me but they decided against kt pallies and warlocks. :frowning:

I support this! For things like undead BE customization so I can be the true image of a loyalist! And their comments on Golden eyes and player choice to advocate to say you can choose to be cleansed by the sunwell. I think would support this.

I still view HEs as a large enough point of interest to be its own race however, same with Sen’layn. I don’t think undead BE customization would take a spot for someone who wants a Sen’layn since you’d be modeled ala Dark Ranger skin tones etc.

In general I’m for more customizations and new races.

Despite the huge wad of cash we fork over, Bliz has proven pretty limited in what they can get done.

This isn’t born out of my opposition either, (I can’t deny it ties in, but it is bigger than just the elf issue) my tastes run towards a smaller more curated collection of the big choices than just throwing everything out there. Maybe I’m being unfair, but I get the impression with some games that have massive numbers of races that there isn’t really a story for most of them other than “This is the [pretty/burly/antro/short/looks disturbingly like a little girl/brightly colored/etc] race” and not much more goes into more than a couple of them.

So I’d just rather keep the choices lower, but maybe really buff up the customizations, so you have the visual choice, but there’s not an overwhelming amount of races that would massively complicate trying to include at least most of them in the story in a meaningful way

wow has countless races. and people have been asking for them to be playable since the beginning of the game. it’s not a matter of asking for cat people in wow. but for me, i’ve wanted a broken draenei since i don’t even know when. and they’re big in the lore but not playable. most people are asking for npc races to become playable. which already have a bunch of lore.

Look on the bright side, The Longer they keep the two separated, the more likely Alliance High Elves will become playable. It seems to be heading in that direction anyhow.

Yeah, but NPC races don’t need to remain relevant, they pop up when the story focuses on them, and then can go backstage until they’re needed again. Every playable race should be getting some connection to each expansion’s story, and the more races there are you end up with most of them either ignored or getting a token bit here and there, and then a few races hog up most of the spotlight (for good or for bad) I mean, I feel like they’re already at a point where they can’t seem to deliver story exposure for a good number of races that are playable, adding more isn’t going to help that.

it’s always been orcs vs humans in this game. that won’t change. but allowing more races even if they don’t get a lot of screen time would make people happier with their character. honestly i want a horde eredar warlock but i know it will never happen. but i would race change dekkar in a second if i could.

Orcs have their history with High Elves also.

That’s fair I just don’t want it to be where support of customization becomes a direct threat for races people want playable. There has to be a way they can do both.

Me wanting to be a undead Blood Elf in the image of the Dark Ranger customizations, is probably my biggest want, with High Elves and Sen’layn races being tied for my second most want. And I would hate to think customization would compete with actual races that could be introduced.

For example if they introduced Undead Blood Elves
 that to me would be superfluous. So I support it as a customization and it makes sense. Actually since I first read we might get them as customizations I’ve been hyped.

Generally I think HM Tauren, LFD, could have been customizations. But I think Maghar Orcs and Dark Iron Dwarves we’re right to be their own thing (this is just my opinion)

So I think the customizations will help in the future from becoming too over saturated like you’re saying, but I think things like Ogres, Mok’nathol, High Elves, Sen’layn, Sethrak. Things that are generally highly asked for should still be asked for, that’s where I sit on the issue.

But I do support more customizations!

See, I think I put the line between the two, Mag’har are mainly just normal skin tones and could have been a really easy customization addition to main orc, I feel like DiD and Velves are around the base of what an AR should be with the addition of the particle effects and other more striking visual changes. (they’d be fine customizations if they never made ARs though)

no not just skin tone. if there were no maghar orcs i wouldn’t have the orc priest i’ve wanted since i started playing. they should’ve gone one step further though and made maghar paladins!

Yeah, but I’ve wanted to be a Moosadin since Legion, but nooooooo

Feeling more voidy lately :crazy_face: :hugs: I am now a Holy Priest again! I think the Void is probably enraged so I think it made sense to turn more blue.
