High Elf POSITIVITY Thread 😎

[Leenag-wyrmrest-accord (Leenag)]

I miscommunicated, I am not bothered or annoyed by the joke, it was more about the reminder. These threads that everyone is sick of are going to continue until the game shuts down and the forums no longer exists if they keep drawing attention to it.

Ah yes, but some drama between NB and NE 10k years ago or whatever clearly is where they draw the line.

Well…yes…because no one was being mind controlled into utilizing the arcane despite the many dangers associated with it. Claiming them the same is false equivalency.

I guess that also applies to forsaken and… Everyone, yeah? Lightforged Forsaken here we come! I look forward to the next tea party without Slooveenie where humans and forsaken can have a nice visit.

Oh and those dead Night Elves need to get the stick out of their rear and come up with an actual excuse for abandoning their people.

This is again, you applying false equivalency. The Alliance hates the undead and largely rejects them. Hence, why we probably won’t see anything like lightforged undead.
As for the dead night elves, it has been explained being made into an undead alters your thinking. It brings out those darker emotions, makes you ill tempered. You’re still you, but you’re missing parts. I doubt those undead night elves will return home. Whatever their motivations are motivations they chose, they weren’t mind controlled.

Vs Garrosh and his crimes against pretty much everyone. Alright.

Which ultimately led to him being usurped due to his crimes against everyone. Again, not equivalent.

Old debate that has been covered. I think a lot of the answers are covered in the OP of many of the old megathreads.

It is really the only debate that matters because what prevents high elves is purely design ones.

I wish I could care about Worgen, but since they turned them into chihuahuas on two legs it’s really hard to support the idea that they are “monsters”. It means they failed to actually deliver a “monster” race to Alliance. The model updates don’t help. Kind of like how KT and diaper gnomes are a huge disappointment.

I mean…if you’re thinking theylook like chihuaha’s on two legs you are just being disingenuous. They are plenty fearsome on their own. Again, the idea of them was to be the noble monster, which is what the Horde pushes. Hence, why they seem ill fitted for the ALliance in some ways just as the blood elves seem unfit for the Horde in some ways as well.
As for KT and Mechagnomes, that is purely a preferential matter. KT"s embody the whole strongman basis. Mechagnomes provide an intereting twist on the gnome race. Them not being people’s preference is not equivalent to the quality and work put into them, which is far more than the nightborne.

There’s a ton of combinations that players have tossed out that would have been better than VE and NB. I would have liked Vrykul personally for Alliance. Won’t try to speak for Horde on what they should have gotten.

Vrykul largely wouldn’t have happened because if I remember right, they HATE humans. The ones you work with as a Warrior in Legion are not standard Vrykul.

At least it means we are still on the radar.

Nightborne are not standard night elves, what is your point?

[Itoldyouso-illidan]

Could you…think that out a little more? There are obvious reasons why they are not nearly the same or comparable.

@Kaivax

Rogues who use Cloak of Shadows, Vanish, and Shadowstep in rapid succession now disappear from the game altogether.

I really like the correlation between MOP being an April fools joke too.

Furthermore to Hypers point, a joke about too many Elves at a time they added two more Elves makes sense to me… but this joke seems to zoom focus in on the High Elf request so … maybe Blizzard likes the positivity we have on the topic

[Drede-cairne (Drede)]

Technically it was Pandaren that started as the April Fools joke and they just added to them.

[Guzzle-barthilas]

As mockery fodder, tbf.

[Starlagosa-dentarg (Starlagosa)]

The only WoW holiday I liked was the one that gave both our characters our flower crowns and let us keep them all year long.

I don’t think I’ve ever even been to the dark moon faire lol.

hmm?

April Fools day isn’t a WoW holiday.

[Starlagosa-dentarg (Starlagosa)]

As mockery fodder, tbf.

I see it more as the topic is really amusing for anyone not taking it too seriously, blizz is just having a good natured joke with it.

[Spudnik-stormrage]

I’m glad they made a jab at the playerbase, it shows they’re aware of how tired and drawn out the High Elf discussion is and there’s literally nothing new to add.

[Lannisterian-tichondrius]

April Fools day isn’t a WoW holiday.

WoW April Fool’s day is much fun, imo.

I must have misunderstood you. I simply meant in terms of expecting an April fools patch notes it doesn’t bother me, but I’m also unphased largely by most in game yearly things, let alone the patch notes April fools thing.

In terms of it being tradition to see a WoW April fools patch notes, I’m unphased I guess but also I don’t really bat an eye for the WoW in game holidays is what I mean.

[Curemaster-sisters-of-elune (Curemaster)]

Pandaren were once an April fool’s joke, and look what happened? Who knows, many positives could be coming from this. It was a good laugh.

[Starlagosa-dentarg (Starlagosa)]

Ah…ok…I think I understand.

[Lannisterian-tichondrius]

Yeah I think we both meant the same thing. Neither meaning it was a WoW holiday just reference to the yearly wow patch notes I think for April fools.

I just felt to mention I tend to not even bat and eyelash for the in game stuff either heh

[Píñkÿ-stormrage (Píñkÿ)]

I’m glad they made a jab at the playerbase,

/raises eyebrow
them’re fightin’ words, hoss.

“This is not a throw-away silly-silly ha ha funny expansion set; it is absolutely the next vital chapter and as things ratchet up, they’re gonna get really gnarly. There’s no way we’re gonna build an expansion set based on an April Fools Joke.”
Metzen Blizzcon 2011

During an interview with Game Front, Lead Quest Designer Dave Kosak, who also was on the panel with Metzen, echoed the sentiments that Mists of Pandaria may seem more light-hearted, but it’s just as important to the overall WoW experience as the previous expansion sets. Kosak also said that a playable pandaren race is “by far” the most asked-for World of Warcraft feature among fans.

[Hypêrspace-dalaran (Hypêrspace)]

i was there at the time. they showed us that cute pandaren pet and we went bonkers. thing is still adorable.

[Leinadh-stormrage]

Kosak also said that a playable pandaren race is “by far” the most asked-for World of Warcraft feature among fans.

And yet they’re one of the least popular core races.

I can confirm back in the Vanilla days, Pandaren, BElves/HElves (Mind this was back in post TFT pre WotLK) and Naga were the big ones people requested, with worgen, goblins and ogres as runners up
