High Elf POSITIVITY Thread šŸ˜Ž

They donā€™t Guzzle. But I would think itā€™s in the communities interests regardless of Discord, to consolidate conversation.

I also pointed out its not in anyone elseā€™s interests but our own to make ourselves look good. And spam doesnā€™t look good.

Itā€™s shocking the mods seem to be doing an about face allowing them all to go on.

i hate high elves, void elves are better dont @ me

I guess it is what it is. But regardless of the discord the HE community even on the forums always purports to stay to our thread so long as itā€™s not locked.

So I personally find it disappointing. And agree with Dredes comment above on it.

Anyways always nice hearing from you Starla! I am currently doing things on my priest / stuff on my warlock to pass the time. I want to finish my loyalist arch on him :frowning: but I refuse to do so without the Darkshore warfront set. And I farmed it this week but it didnā€™t drop anything I needed to complete the set. You have to kill the rares? And look in chests? Itā€™s kinda random to me tbh.

So I tried queing for it on Horde and it dropped more stuff I didnā€™t need after the warfront was over. I wasnā€™t sure if queing + completion gave gear too I thought it was just the rares and the boxes.

I mean spamming a copy paste of what Dredes said, in other threads doesnā€™t really help the case either. Itā€™s actually bumping said spam people seem to be against, and actively participating in it soā€¦ kinda counter productive in such cases.

That said, no one has any control over what others do online, and I while I also agree with Drede, I donā€™t think trying to police people into doing something they donā€™t want to is going to get us anywhere.

Anyways, here for my support for Playable Alliances High Elves.

It may have been while I wasnā€™t active. I have seen many threads come and go, but the megathreads have always been a staple. Some temp threads pop up while they are locked to keep things in line, which is what I thought this thread was funnily enough. Then megathread comes back up and the others are a ghost townā€¦ Until it gets locked again and then the smaller threads are used. But it doesnā€™t catch ALL of the discussion. They never will. Right now without a megathread it feels like, to me, we still donā€™t have a solid thread.

So this change has to do with flagging?

Why? The megathreads work fine as long as they are open and they arenā€™t that difficult to create as long as a person has TL3. The body doesnā€™t have to even stay the exact same.

Itā€™s not an issue with me. Like I said, I like that players can meet outside of the forums for this stuff and I support it, but the forums and how they work should come first yeah? Should keep things recognizable for the sake of clarity so that ALL of the forums can say ā€œhere is the main threadā€.

Itā€™s not policing Iā€™m just calling it like I see it and I think it looks bad. Telling others not to speak their mind is also policing.

And I also said to each their own. But then we canā€™t really claim that we stick to our threads anymore either which imo is a boon to the community.

Wasnā€™t referring to you my friend. No worries

If you have any more questions about it Iā€™m more than willing to answer you on discord I donā€™t feel comfortable continuing the conversation here in all honesty but Iā€™d love to hear your feedback on the thread as well and better explain where it comes from.

If not thatā€™s cool itā€™s really neither here nor there to me. Supporting High Elves is what matters and we both do that in our unique ways.

Agreed.
Some of my replies in other threads are more in relation to questions being asked (such as what new allied race would you like?) or if a history / lore question that is pertinent to the Silver Covenant or the pre-WC3 history.
I understand the desire to want to keep it contained and to avoid spam. I also think that we need to be wary what other people consider ā€˜spamā€™.

All good, I still stand by what I said though.

But I donā€™t think anyoneā€™s trying to police anyone, point things out and call it like they see it- Yes. But not police.

Iā€™m just glad the HE community has more support then ever though!

Yeah, thatā€™s why I tend to only give the message in this thread.

I only say something when itā€™s brand new and people might not know that there is already a thread.

Copy pasting what I said like Iā€™m some kind of authority isnā€™t helping.

Iā€™m only trying to suggest we stick to one thread so the topic isnā€™t deleted on mass again.

Alsoā€¦ Void Elf customization threads are their own separate thing and should be treated as such.

Posting twice isnā€™t spamming or policing.
But of course you want to make me out to be the bad guy.
Iā€™m not one of the helfers, itā€™s not my problem that you guys canā€™t keep your buds in check. So my posting to helfers that theyā€™re actually hurting their own ā€˜causeā€™ is in my best interest, itā€™s not me ā€˜bumpingā€™ anything. I made 2 posts but your fellow helfers are making dozens and yet all you can do is point to me.
Hysterical.

Sorry lost track of replies there. I would remove your discord tag. I am sure you donā€™t mind it being out in the open or you wouldnā€™t have posted it, but I donā€™t know if itā€™s technically okay here on the forums.

It wasnā€™t meant to come off as arguing, for the record. Just some side notes and me trying to explain why things may be messy right now.

No worries. Iā€™m pretty sure it is just based off the fact people leave it in posts all the time that and or their BNET or both. But I was gonna edit it and remove later anyways. All good :ok_hand: Iā€™m just glad you didnā€™t quote it so when I edited it itā€™d still be there lol.

I think the problem there is that should have been the angle from the beginning if they wanted to not use HEā€™s ever.

As in for more context they could have made VEā€™s from the SC HEā€™s but actively chose not to. And thus the Alliance Quelā€™dorei narrative is not the narrative of the Void Elves. And itā€™s the lore that stems so much support for the request.

Personally I have to ask myself why didnā€™t they make Void Elves from High Elves? And what I keep coming back to is, they may use them in the future as a playable race. The April fools patch notes alluded to Pandaren, and two new elf races in legion. So is it so much of a stretch to assume they didnā€™t just allude to HEs by explicitly calling the HE threads to the forefront in their patch notes this year. Yes it was silly, but people often use comedy as the first step when announcing a shift on policy. Which would put HEā€™s by the end of SL. Which I think makes sense.

Void Elves imo also have validity in asking for diverse skin options, as Alleria has been referred to as a VE regardless of how she became one, they choose to call her a VE. Which adds validity to them getting more skin options but that would appease VE fans, a lot of HE fans would still stand by voicing their support for HEs.

I think it makes perfect sense to give high elf skin tones and blue eyes to the void elves, in the telgrus rift there were high elves trying to learn their ways. They were npcs but still. It goes to show there are high elves attempting to learn about the void.

I always wondered this too, the whole problem could have been solved if they wrote it in like this
