High Elf POSITIVITY Thread 😎

I do believe that there are High Elves in the Knights of the Silver Hand. However, it’s a topic i can honestly say i’m not too familiar with.

Personally, talking for myself here, whether they’re able to be a Paladin or not, isn’t something that’s a must for me. I’ve always wanted to main a High Elven Mage - and that’s finally something i’m able to somewhat do now, with these new customisation options.

I will say though, High Elves have been shown to have Paladins - like that Dalaran High Elf Paladin trainer “Rulen Lightsreap”.

You’re not wrong but that’s such a cop-out on Blizzards end.

And people said we wouldn’t have High/Blood Elves on the Alliance yet here we are.

High elves are not playble. Void elves will never be high elves. ever.

If we get story to encompass HEs joining VE ranks, then they will be as much HEs as BEs who call themselves HEs with a name change.

And then what about the high elves that refuse to study the void?

Perhaps some of them return home to the fold in Quel’thalas and take on the name Sin’dorei with their kin on the Horde.

Perhaps studying the void isn’t a requirement for new VEs and they can simply acknowledge Alleria as their leader and adhere to her society which is built on studying the Void.

We will have to wait and see.

And what about the ones that wants revenge against the orcs?

I mean I hate to be that person but there aren’t like millions of them how many times are you going to rephrase this question to arrive at what ever point you’re trying to make.

And there was 13 void elves around when they became an allied race. There is high elves whom hates the horde, as well as ones that would undoubtly refuse to study the void as they are sustained through moon wells. They deserve to be playable and have a story told too.

Well if we get story to encompass HEs into VE, and we can look like the HEs, and get HE classes.

And other groups rejoin Quel’thalas maybe for BE fans that want to see some of their kin to RP as HEs who returned to the fold.

There really isn’t that much left to ask for on either side. So I guess good luck but a lot of us are content at that point. And if you aren’t that’s fine, but allowing people to be happy takes no effort on your part.

Then you reward blizz for being lazy, and this will begin a downward trend to this games failiure.

Welcome to day 2 of the live forum drama “You’ve given us an inch, now turn that into a mile!”

They’re attempting to correct the compromise. I’m not going to fault them for it. Whats more it does no good to dwell on what could have been and to stay mad about that, I think we need to see what we are getting which is a lot, ask for the lore to go with it, and proceed from there. And I won’t think less of people who still feel they dislike the compromise it is what it is, but don’t try to rain on peoples victory either.

except it wasn’t an inch, more like a shattering of a wall of faction bounderies. By making the most butt-pulled race into something it shouldn’t be and rewarding them for it. :man_facepalming:

What victory? All I see is a distruction of a race ppl grew on even though it was butt-pulled in an attempt to make it what it is not, high elves.

Believe me when I say a lot of people are very happy, we do want the lore to go along with it, just like the San’layn community has said in theory if they get something like this, or other ARs. But overall its mostly a lot of happy people, and people coming in the discord all over, or popping in threads to congratulate the HE community which I think is really nice.

I also am not here to police how anyone thinks of the compromise. But I just think its wrong to push this idea everyone has to be of the same mind set, a lot of us are happy, there may be varying degrees of other people who aren’t but I dislike the idea because some are unhappy we must all be when thats kinda far from the truth.

You’re pretty cool about this. It’s more just this wave of people who took this and are turning it into a wave of demands for more and more before we even know what’s going to be part of this. And I’m a sarcastic grump, so I’m gonna comment on it.

Especially since some of the stuff I’m seeing here is kinda obnoxious in (not any of the people I’ve really been talking with today) disregarding the feelings of blood elf and void elf players in order to get the last few percentage for it to be 100% of everything they want.

Omg a dream scenario… best way to put a final coffin to the “muh neutral Silvermoon” and similar retarded petitions.

Heck, maybe if the devs give you guys your pallies on Velves (I know it´s quite ridiculous from a lore PoV, but then again the whole basis of the Velf lore is a clusterfck of badly written lore), we can get back a less “long eared Humans” version for our own Blood Knights -think going back to “Blood Knights and Belf priests don´t actually worship the light, they just merely channel it from their big bad Sunwell battery because for them it´s just another magical source, period”.

Man, better the cosmetics than the lore or actual crucial gameplay features making both races unique (at least from a purely Belf fan PoV). Who cares if Velf PCs can look extremely similar to Belf PCs outside of combat, the important thing is that this similar appearance still doesn´t mean them Velves get to take actual exclusive Belf stuff (territory, racials, lore, important NPCs) from the Horde Belf fans. Silvermoon is still ours, Kael´thas and other very prominent Belf characters are still ours, the whole narrative arc depicting the Belf cultural evolution is still us and so on… (and before someone says Velves are JUST like Belves lorewise, I say: no. The Velves got the short end of the stick regarding this for anyone that knows how to read).

I’m hoping we see them get the Tattoos/Warpaint as well.

the name matters, you’re still not a high elf.

you follow a different ideology, it’s that simple. you drain dark magics, you’re not a high elf.

i’m seeing this idea that “identities are flexible” thrown out now, and i actually wish i could physically slap the holy hell out of anyone saying something this stupid. this is some rachel dolezal-tier idiotic thinking. you’re not a helf, you are a velf, and there’s nothing you can do to change that.
