High Elf POSITIVITY Thread 😎

[Avarie-farstriders]

What’s sad is we get the resentment, but we didn’t make the other two threads.

[Starlagosa-dentarg (Starlagosa)]

Flag him and move on. His words are weak and sickly.

Besides he’s just trying to get a rise outta one of you.

Edit: in fact looking through his post history it seems all he does is try to get a rise out of folk.

You’re probably right, but I wouldn’t suggest anyone flag any post especially if you want this topic not to be shut down.

[Hecatone-burning-legion (Hecatone)]

I don’t think you tagged me to that post, but referencing an earlier time you said something isn’t citing a source.

[Coaxial-draenor]

I just feel creating duplicate threads will just create resentment from the people who don’t care about the subject. Plus Ion Hazzikostas said no plans or something already didn’t he?

Fairly sure that boat sailed awhile ago. Its no secret that these threads often get flag bombed. I know its not the Anti’s. I highly doubt its the Pros. That leaves only the players who are just tired of seeing the threads.

[Avarie-farstriders]

It could even be trolls who don’t care either way about high elves.

I didn’t say Lann needed to say anything at all. I was making a comment about how that helfer wasn’t posting in the spirit of this topic.

I don’t know what that comment was about, but for the record I’ve stated before I do enjoy reading anti comments when they are about lore, even if they are heavily Horde related as I despite maintaining my priest have always preferred Horde, and I especially enjoy anti posters who have a love of BE’s and based on your post history I do think that includes you so while I vehemently disagree on your Alliance HE stance I admire and share your opinion on BE’s, so if the comment was directed at you I by default of the original post as well as what I am stating right now hope you know that is not my sentiment, nor would it ever be in the future.

Hey Lann!

nice to see this post up!

waves at Ely Hope you’re doing well Ely! I’m scrolling through the thread briefly before bed a bit unwell mostly I didn’t sleep 2 nights in a row, glad to see you here!

How many characters would everyone race/faction change? My night elves would be safe. Some of my humans would be race changed.

I only have my mage, priest and warlock. And when I returned to the game I knew I wanted a Horde main and Alliance main, and I knew I wanted a Priest, and was deciding what to do.

My priest became my Alliance main! And I made a new BE warlock I am taking the game slow enjoying questing on to replace my BE mage for my Horde position. But… I would be inclined to change my mage I thought long and hard on if I wanted a new mage but he was my first serious or semi serious character I kept going back to so I think it would breathe new life into him after I have taken my break from playing a mage heh

[Cassima-greymane (Cassima)]

My two night elves would be safe too, as would my two humans (though I probably will make my human mage Asian, since she does already have black hair). But my three void elves I would change to high elves in a heartbeat.

Awesome pictures of blood elves you have there

[Lorithyn-agamaggan (Lorithyn)]

Plus Ion Hazzikostas said no plans or something already didn’t he?

Everyone will twist Ion’s words to fit their narrative. The anti side will believe that he gave the most polite “no” that he could while the pros will cling to the “No plans in the near future” part

Even the void elves didn’t choose to be void elves. Why would high elves hop on board?

Lazy writing.

[Rreifren-wyrmrest-accord]

yes. We always stick to one thread until it either gets deleted or caps out at around 20k comments. We are blamed for the spam of people outside our control usually from the anti side creating multiple threads. They have tried to consolidate it to one thread yet they still have multiple active threads.

[Phylok-moon-guard (Phylok)]

I’d prob change my main, but my Rogue would remain a void elf. Not sure about my mage.

[Gnomest-sargeras (Gnomest)]

Always awesome seeing good fan art!

[Lannisteros-proudmoore]

I think high elves on alliance would actually bolster blood elves as I have noted many times in the past.

As a BE fan myself if I had to choose it’ll always be BE’s. I think BE fans are incredibly loyal, but I see where the love of HE’s stems from because I know I do not love BE’s and VE’s just because they are an elf, I enjoy their personality and culture and lore which in VE’s case it just plays off my already existing love for BE’s. So I will continue to want HE’s on Alliance just as much as anyone else!

I also think the story will be enriched, so as a BE player I want to see HE’s playable because it’ll mean they will get story, and I love identifying with the faction I am on so I will be more inclined to be passionately against their interests in story on my BE.

The rivalry between BE’s and NE’s never made sense to me, the WC3 had Kael and Tyrande surprised to see each other but not hostile, the wow narrative forced a hostile approach with them, but the questing in Eversong is pre entry to Horde and they were already randomly placed to be a foil to BE’s.

The VE vs BE rivalry is lack luster, Lor’themar and Rommath dislike them okay. But is the general population of Silvermoon and Quel’thalas going to notice a few missing exiled elves studying magic? They’ve been at it for some time by the time Alleria gets there, so by the time they become VE’s for me it would be like “wait who are you people and you’re alliance now? okay and?” type vibe.

I think the HE’s would help benefit VE story by developing a friendship akin to that of Nightborne and Blood Elves on Horde. And I think the rivalries Blizzard should concentrate on are Night Elves and Nightborne and Blood Elves and Alliance High Elves, the story telling they could do could really enrich the faction divide.

Just curious, what would most of you do if they gave a blue eyed option for blood elves, but no high elf allied race?

[Playpen-wyrmrest-accord]

Just curious, what would most of you do if they gave a blue eyed option for blood elves, but no high elf allied race

they already did both of these things. its called blood elf DK and the high elf AR is called void elf

they will just say eye color never mattered and claim ‘high’ elves still arent playable

[Avarie-farstriders]

I’d be happy for the belf players that wanted blue eyes, and keep asking for alliance high elves.

[Lannisteros-proudmoore]

Just curious, what would most of you do if they gave a blue eyed option for blood elves, but no high elf allied race?

I think the reason VE’s are former BE’s is because Blizzard has been said to be divided on the issue. So had they wanted to do away with HE’s they could have. But they chose not to, and the speech can be interpreted as pointed out

The anti side will believe that he gave the most polite “no” that he could while the pros will cling to the “No plans in the near future ” part

“No plans in the near future”

So you couple that with the fact they’ve been said to be split on the issue, then add the fact VE’s are not former Alliance HE’s, it validates the continued ask for HE’s as well as always leaves the door open to possibility.

So while I do not advocate for Blue Eyes BE’s I do not think anyone will deeply care.

[Biggieskulls-malganis]

DK is a class, void elves are not high elves. I’m just curious what the high elf fans would do. Because they’re not all going belf DK or void elf. I’m wondering if they would change to Horde or give up on high elves if this happened.

[Starlagosa-dentarg (Starlagosa)]

Where does this rumor come from?

[Playpen-wyrmrest-accord]

DK is a class, void elves are not high elves.

its still a playable BLOOD ELF(confirmed through multiple sources to be a HIGH ELF) with blue eyes(lol)

void elves are void corrupted high elves

another flavor of high elf, to quote development
