We have pvp vendors after all.

You know I actually am not a fan of Tolkien fantasy. I never could get into his works, and I actually like the Elves in WoW better lol.

[Thormus-hakkar]

Just give them the option to tag themselves as a High Elf from the start. Doing so would allow them to have the Paladin option maybe at the expense of Warlocks. Their racials can be the exact same thing essentially just renamed and changed visually to something Arcane themed.

I don’t mind it but using it as the “bible” of sorts for other fantasy? Bah nah. Lets leave that where it was. Pay homage to the roots but don’t define yourself by them.

Please, no. Leave my Warlocks alone

If it’s reasonable that High elves could forgive, and join the Void elves, then it’s reasonable that the same could be said for the Blood elves.

That’s not really reasonable. High Elves are an Alliance race.

[Thormus-hakkar]

Tbf I think there actually is a High Elf warlock trainer in Dalaran now that I think about it. So that might make sense lol.

[Sarallesta-sargeras]

Just give Void Elf Paladins for those who want to be a High Elf Paladin, and just give Vulpera Druids, then we can call it even.

BUT NOBODY IS TAKING AWAY WARLOCKS FROM VOID ELVES!

[Sarallesta-sargeras]

I mean, I want to be a High Elf, but can’t do it if I can’t be a Warlock.

[Thormus-hakkar]

I’m not the biggest fan of Vulpera but I can see them as Druids. Their forms would be interesting. At that point though I think the Alliance would be short 1 or 2 druid races. Obviously we can fix this by doing the same thing with Dwarves. Give dwarves who choose the Wildhammer option to have access to Druids. If we need a bonus give High Elves druids too.

[Sarallesta-sargeras]

Well, reason why I suggested Vulpera Druids as to oppose giving Void Elves paladins, because then it gives the same even amount as class/race combo’s on both factions. Considering that there is 101 total race/class combo’s in game per faction, wouldn’t be fair to give Alliance more race/class combo’s without evening it up for the Horde too.

@Sarallesta-sargeras

Just give Void Elf Paladins for those who want to be a High Elf Paladin,

It doesn’t make lore sense though…
Same for vulpera druids.

[Callistus-wyrmrest-accord]

Yeah. He’s a, “Summoner” by rank. But he taught warlock skills.

[Cezol-darkspear]

Only thing I don’t agree with is the Alliance’s discrepancy in Paladins versus Horde Shamans.

Alliance should have more paladins and Horde should have more Shaman, which they do, but the Alliance is nearly at the same rate of Paladin as the Horde is.

Especially if we take away the “AR parent race/combo”, the Alliance, in that sense, has 3 Paladin races to the Hordes 3 Paladin races, except with the Horde having 5 shaman races, to the Alliances 3.

[Chengaiz-arthas]

People love High Elves. I hope Blizz realize this.

[Dorp-emerald-dream]

Alright well my sub will be running out in the next 2 weeks.

Just wanted to drop in to say I’m glad void elves are getting new options to look similar to high elves.

However,
While it’s nice that Blizzard acknowledges high elf fans, I think they need to be aware as well that void elf skins, while nice, will not erase high elves unless they explicitly do so in game.

It’s still just another compromise for something that should have been added in Legion as a counterpart to the nightborne, and it’s unfortunate that Ion is still stubborn about it.

And I feel like this whole wave of toxicity and spite that Ion (unintentionally) unleashed when he said “the horde is waiting for you” was really crappy and just made for 2 years of unnecessary bickering.

Baby steps I guess! But this is a victory regardless.

[Callistus-wyrmrest-accord]

I’m with you. I’ve been on the fence about Shadowlands because of the way this was handled…

Waiting to see. Maybe I’ll be pleasantly surprised.

[Lannisteros-proudmoore]

I agree, also as I started typing this I realized I’m on my Priest lol hello again blue background like I love Blood Elves and High Elves of the Alliance. But I really dislike this “well to be like Tolkien Elves Blizzard needs to” or “they are based off Tolkien so Blizzards need to, x,y,z” I prefer the WoW setting and I mean I think there is LOTRO unless I’m mistaken but I think that exists for the Tolkien fans who want Tolkien lol.

ASOIAF is heavily based on the war of the roses, and I love seeing the parallels and the inspiration from it, but I don’t expect Martin to explicitly follow the actual history he pulls from to make characters like that’s where that ends and his world begins.

[Chengaiz-arthas]

I beg to differ, the customizations in shadowlands seem to be aimed at what people want to see in the game as diverse

[Ues-llane (Ues)]

Truth be told the Alliance trust high elves twice as much as they trust night elves.
