You know what was really a missed opportunity? 2004. Horde night elves, Alliance undead.
Night elves were a xenophobic, isolationist people in WC3 and hated everyone who stepped into their forests. Undead were⌠undead. Just handwave it away like they handwave Alliance DKs, void elves, warlocks, DHs⌠say they redeemed themselves in the Light or something.
Horde kaldorei would have been a truly brutal and militaristic Amazonian race. What great tragedy that we are reduced to unwashed druids frolicking with faerie dragons whilst our nation is burned down around us.
I was completely confident you were the same person, yeah. The similar name and race is enough, but the posting style of course gives you away. I certainly believe if I posted here on other characters people would easily identify me for that very reason.
I still donât entirely agree with your points Lannisteros. It makes a bit of sense, yeah, but I donât think itâs entirely something I could get behind.
The Horde, the same orcs, trolls and undead, have killed and hunted down thalassians forever now(for the trolls, at least) are suddenly forgiven? For what? Because Garithos, a man who acted basically alone, was a bad person? There were elves in Dalaran too, and they did nothing about Kaelâthas. A human was part of the reason him and his followers could even escape. Alliance lost itâs strongest city and was also devastated by Arthas and the Scourge, which should make the Alliance and blood elves even more sympathetic towards each others plight; they both know the suffering and pain of losing their people. Neither the Thalassians or the Humans could have offered each other any aid.
They have thousands of years of friendship backed up behind each other. Their new ways should and would have been seen by the Alliance as a bump in their friendship, but they could have easily worked through that.
I have a posting style?? I always use the name Lannister in my naming of naming characters I name. When I started posting on the forums I wanted it to be my priest! As I was deciding what my new Horde main was going to be, now Iâm just BESIDE myself I have somehow achieved T3 on my priest but want it on my golden eyed Warlock, the red background just fits me better.
HMMMM, if they all go by Dret I will know for sure! Otherwise I apologize in advance, I am a bit oblivious sometimes!
I also have stolen all of my character names except Keizel my dwarf, or conjured them out of Tolkien naming conventions. They all have unique names though, thereâs no pattern to them except their Tolkien influences. Watch for < The Pride of Kalimdor > and itâs a 99.9% chance itâs me.
Yes, Dreta was a stolen name. She was a friend of mine as a child during TBC. I adopted it as my own.
For a blood elf⌠and a Californian⌠youâre not so bad yourself. Reasonable and polite fellow.
Yus. Also new gender. And class⌠I went back to Hunter. Legion was good to me, and Zinâanthid too. I pay my tithes to the unholy gods of this world and they provide me with souls.
Eternal, immortal, mutable. I am Shang Tsung. I am Dreta!
I will likely be a gnome next, but always a night elf at heart. Watch. Perhaps you will see. It all depends on what souls I come across in the outer realms
We find ourselves at opposing ends again! I have never read Tolkeins work D; and as a George RR Martin fan, I resent the comments Iâve seen on reddit and Quora⌠I have no stake in the fight other than it turned me off to reading his works. ASOIAF got me for my love of history and the parallels to War of the Roses so eh.
Thank you! This is where I mention I have no raw spicy octopus sashimi to offer you as I havenât been to a store that carries sashimi and Iâm limiting my trips and I have everything I need though I could finesse a way of thinking to convince myself I need this item, I am not going to.
Itâs what I was expecting from the BC cover art.
I expected them to start in outland and be have spikes and scars on top of road-warrior type haircuts with black tattoos.
Instead, Keal isnât the leader, these guys just want to have a party while zombies attack, they are even more vain acting then youâd expect, all their haircuts are pretty and cute.
The rabbit is out of the hat regardless. If they did a poll and the statement about it is correct, it sounds like they are piling on afterward. There really is no way to spin it with that tidbit of information out there. It doesnât matter to me if they hyped themselves up afterward or however it went down. He didnât say âwell, we wanted to add Blood Elves to the Horde and we were pleasantly surprised after the poll to reveal that Blood Elves would fit that requestâ after all. Especially if the rumor that Blood Elves were originally going to be antagonists for the expansion is true. We can try to muddy the water all day though. I wish they would own their decisions more and stick with it, and stick to their themes, or be flexible equally. None of this âwell, we will give Horde some leeway, but no we cannot extend the same to the Allianceâ and being overall back and forth all of the time. Alas, they cannot retcon their way out of these decisions so they really have one avenue left.
Ah yes it wasnât something they thought about back then so clearly they will never happen. They were too desperate to prop the Horde up so once again another missed opportunity for Alliance, case closed!
Versusanything said on Twitter being the gospel, right? We have been here before.
Like High Elves will never become playable because Ion said insert whatever video quote of the day
Even though I remember he said they were going to halt flying in the game going forward, and here I am still able to fly in Boralus.
Why are you trying to push a narrative that I am disagreeing with you on? Simply because you refuse to read what is in front of you does not mean I am going to change my mind because you wish to push it harder.
ForâŚpointing out the flaw in your logic? Do you not know how a discussion works or something?
Unfortunately youâll rarly see definitive statements come out of the developers simply because it does not benefit them. They want wiggle room in discussions. Otherwise, people get upset and get particularly toxic.
That is false equivalency.
High elves are not comparable to flying, or to classic WoW.
For one, the devs already acknowledged the race itself is playable on the Horde, which means your request is there its just on a different faction.
The matter of flying and classic affected ALL players, not a sub-group, and signfiicantly affected their profits negative and positively respectively. It is flawed logic to repeatedly compare the high elf request to those situations. There aremany different factors involved which the high elf request fundamentally cannot touch on.
Seriously Sara, do you not keep track of the things you say? The comment was completely nonsensical, hence my response.
If you want to exist in a different world, go ahead, but when you say things, and people respond, you canât treat them out of context in some bizarre attempt to be right about something or to be right about peopleâs motivations.
For a blood elf⌠and a Californian⌠youâre not so bad yourself. Reasonable and polite fellow.
