High Elf POSITIVITY Thread 😎

I agree.

Well, we haven’t seen any updates to Quel’thalas since it was introduced along with the Blood Elves in TBC. Oh wait, hang on, that is irrelevant as well.

Anyways, before I jump off and play Cities Skylines, here is my daily support for playable Quel’dorei for the Alliance.

Yes, however it’s been made pretty clear that the high elves being mentioned are alliance, and still have the name high elf.
It’s okay to acknowledge one group without degrading the other.

Blood elves retaining the most of the population, all the lands, wealth, culture (or even more) does not mean the high elves (who’ve never changed their name) are irrelevant.
Many have been personally attached to them, especially when they mostly resurfaced as the SC in wotlk.

High elves are like the Canadians of blood elves lol, except they hate each other. (I’m Canadian by the way, don’t use this analogy as an insult to Canadians!)

That’s what I mean when I say it’s not a give vs take issue.

I hope high elves become playable so the annoying neckbeards who play their female Blood elves on horde and go back where they came from.

I am not upset the horde got blood elves. I am merely pointing out the reasons why it happened.

Do you really think devs that were not working on the game and making those decisions at the time it was made are qualified to say why it was done like that? I’d rather trust the words of someone who was working on it at the time.

Even if this were true, I doubt that would happen.
Pretty elves will swarm the horde forever, deal with it! :wink:

I think many people will be shocked to find that most blood elf players want to play horde and they chose the pretty race not because it is the prettiest but because it is on the horde.

I root for both factions though heh

I don’t have a problem with your reasoning here for the most part, and it’s not discussion like this that gives me pause about being strict with names.

It’s just for one, it’s awkward to try and discuss some historical aspects without using the word high elf to describe the whole of the race. And sometimes it’s a nice blunt point to make when people get a bit fanciful about making up differences between the groups.

Mainly though, some times people (not you in this case) get picky about names as a way to shut down discussion, because while sometimes it’s clear that people are referring to alliance high elves, it can also be clear when people are using it historically to make a point that when people are asking for the elves of WC2 that the blood elves are the same elves for the most part. But people pick on the use of a certain name and try to shut down the topic because they weren’t using the right word without dealing with the point of the comment.

then you can say alliance high elves(which pertains to the 6 canon ones currently active), highvale, SC, or blood elves to refer to a specific group. when someone says high elves they are obviously encompassing the race as a whole

and for the record the high elves are the blood elves. they switched sides. a modern ‘high’ elf is just a blood elf with a different political opinion. no one cares, the vast majority of high elves are blood elves

yes it does. thats like saying defias humans need to be playable because they are so relevant to the story, that they need to be an AR. they are irrelevant once you leave elwynn forest. just like the SC is irrelevant when you leave dalaran

how do you get attached to something that never existed previously? the SC were not hanging out in stormwind prior to wrath. there was no high elven district in SW. in fact the only source for a population in SW is the paper rpg which is bad fanfiction now. its heavily implied they are ex farstriders who did not want to join the horde with the rest of their people and vereesa was able to give them a home in dalaran after it was rebuilt and used them to form her SC. they were formed to protect and serve dalaran. kinda hard to get attached to something thats brand new and never existed before

the only way to make them look different is something like… oh yea void elves. and remember only a few high elves have always been with the alliance. a couple priests palling around with arthas and jaina who the latter spirited away to theramore when dalaran was evacuated prior to its destruction and ofc still died later

idk how many times it has to be pointed out, you arent getting pure high elves ever on the alliance because they are already playable on the horde :family_woman_girl_girl:

Here is my reminder that Alliance positively shouldn’t get playable High Elves. :heart_eyes_cat:

High elves would be so amazing.

I’ve seen an explanation of why Void Elves were chosen in lieu of High Elves, posited by an individual whose job description doesn’t include being completely apprised of narrative realities, and whose explanation quite literally ends with, “[but] anything is possible in the future”.

I’m curious where it’s been said High Elves won’t ever happen… was it part of 8.3’s Patch Notes? :woman_shrugging:

Anything is possible in the future, but no plans in the near-term to add High Elves as an Allied Race :woman_shrugging:

oh you changed your post to wont ever happen. well are the reasons they were ruled out going away or something?(identical to blood elves and already playable/faction diversity)

It’s common sense.

Starlagosa and Playpen are my favourite Blizzard’s spokesmen.
