Just because blood elves are the majority does not mean we have to disregard high elves.
I love both blood elves and high elves, is that such an impossible thing?
And alliance high elves would be played on their respective faction as well.
You did that thing again where you basically forgot what you just said, stay focused!
Did you not notice me specify almost every post, for your convenience, that Iâm referring to the high elves that are alliance, aka the high elves that kept the name high elf and that are alliance alligned.
Iâve posted it in parentheses basically every single post. I even bolded it in some cases.
You know actually, I find this entirely false. The vast majority of High Elves, (and I mean the ones that did not rename themselves to Blood Elves) are infact Alliance. Where the rest are neutral to both factions, such as Dalaran and the Kirin Tor, or hate both factions and are killable. It is the same with Blood Elves, the vast majority of Blood Elves are Horde, where the rest are the same as High Elves, nuetral to both or killable by both.
Otherwise, if what youâre saying is true, then the same can actually be said also for every other race that has or is apart of any neutral factions out there.
It is very comparable. They both are purple, grow tentacles, use the Void as a tool and go insane. Oh no, sorry, Void Elves donât go insane, only Shadow Priests.
Kind of infuriating that Horde are still (pretending to be?) confused about why Alliance players want High Elves.
Like, dude, really? Itâs blatantly obvious. No they are not Blood Elves, and if they really were, these HE request threads wouldnât even exist in the first place.
In what way are they being disregarded Dorp?
The issue that faces the high elves is nothing lore wise. The issues that they face is from a design perspective. Lore can justify anything, it is lore.
Weâll just go in circles, and again, lore does not mean anything. It never did.
So blood elves are not Horde Leinadh? Mmkay.
Mmm, from alore perspective? Iâd have to sayâŚmaybe.
The issue is from a game design perspective, you would never encounter someone who doesnât serve the purpose of the story. So you wonât meet the 500+ inhabitants of Goldshire when only 5 are relevant.
Based on encyclopedia and etc? Theyâre rather split in allegiances.
The SC is really the only major alliance leaning high elf group.
Hence, why people say âSW humanâ and such rather than just âhuman.â or âall trollsâ or âall orcs.â
It is also why the lore argument is a stupid one.
Every race has a group that is neutral or allied with t some point with th eopposing faction.
The high elf argument has always been dealing with the design issue.
Hence, why I am puzzled why the argument is aalways about the story, and not a focus on the design obstacles.
It really isnât comparable.
A race = multiple classes and specs available.
Shadow priests = class.
The design of the two is different, and comparing the two is just being facetious at best. It isnât even a point worth discussing because it is just a nonsensical red herring.
Then youâd be fine with void elves, but you arenât.
For people being all about lore, you really want new design fr it, when lore can just be a sentence of âand high elves were converted to void elves.â.
Lore is just as important to the game than game design. Otherwise, if there was no lore, then World of Warcraft wouldâve made absolutely no sense in the first place, and wouldâve not been worth playing in the end.
Iâm going to stop you right there and remind you that Kul Tiransâ new model (despite being the same race as Humans) is solely based on their lore. Lore matters a lot.
Really?
So games such as the original Zelda, Mario bros, Pong, Racing games, and more, which have nothing but a single line for their story, are bad because they put gameplay ahead of lore? /s
The lore of the game could literally be
horde and alliance hate each other, and every race hts each other because someone ate their muffins, and people would play it.
I am going to stop you right here and remind you that Rexxar uses the KulâTiran model and he has nothing to do with Kul Tiran lore.
Lore comes after design.
Lore does not matter.
It is secondary.
