High Elves

[Evilperiod-aggramar]

Thank you for the heads up, you are the best!

Factions are not races.

I didn’t say they were races specifically… but races also aren’t species. Which is what you actually mean to say here.

Race is just the word Blizzard uses for its choices its not a word that means much beyond the social. Real life humans are different races but they’re all the same species. There isn’t some major difference between them beyond culture and ideology.

This idea that allowing a group of elves to be playable on both sides would be nullified by the word “race” is hogwash.

@Myzrym-area-52

Yes. And it’s also like your playable options for High Elves are in the game and known politically as Blood Elves or magically altered as Void Elves, different in name only.

You see I don’t have any issues with this point. Thats fair. But pretending that there isn’t a difference between High Elves and Blood Elves is literally ignoring the lore of ones supposed loved and adored race.

@Myzrym-area-52

The tens of “High Elves” still wandering around pretending to be special are insignificant to the point that they aren’t playable.

I mean this was a choice by Blizzard doesn’t mean people need to agree with it. Given how many void elves there supposedly are it also doesn’t really hold up as a legitimate reasoning.

@Naughtymoon-proudmoore

You are legit arguing with a Fenelon alt, not sure why he’s posting on a Void Elf Hunter instead of his main Void Elf Priest but lol.

I was unaware I was hiding this? Should I go back to announcing my alts when I switch around?

It’s more the whole fake personalities being completely different that caught my attention so I pointed it out, you act like you are cool with the options Blood Elves and Void Elves have to be High Elves on Fen but then you switch to that one and act like High Elves should be a separate thing, it’s just cringe is all.

I… huh… I’ll reconsider how I speak on them then. I did not intend to sound particularly different. I apologize.

Edit: to be clear whoever I am on I am fine with options on void elves and also fine with an AR if Blizzard goes that route. (I also support more customizations for Blood Elves.)

[Vivel-dalaran]

Yes, eventually we will get proper High Elves on the Alliance, but I doubt that will come from an actual separate alliance playable race, it’ll more than likely come from the inevitable faction merge and allow Blood Elves to be Alliance.

@Evilperiod-aggramar

I do not understand what more people want.

Playable High Elves on the Alliance that aren’t void tainted.

To help people understand, yes people just want Blood Elves but on the Alliance.

No, this isn’t a high ask, we have 3 going on 4 races that will be playable on both factions.

Whew you’re gonna be disappointed

[Vivel-dalaran]

I don’t play the dainty elves so I won’t be, but we’ll have to suffer through decades more of High Elf posts if they don’t.

Copy and pasting is in fact a high ask when we look at how races are done in WoW nowadays

[Evilperiod-aggramar]

@Vivel-dalaran

No, this isn’t a high ask

It certainly appears to be with lore, the wiki and the books against ya.

Ya know, dear Void Elves, maybe you should look to coming over to the Horde at this point since the Alliance won’t acknowledge you as High Elves.

We have punch, pie, and cake.

[Sumwun-tichondrius]

If they are going to keep recycling bodies and the such, just do the best cheese move you can do and make a few more races have undead versions. Not Elves.

@Evilperiod-aggramar

There is nothing in lore that is against this.

[Akston-area-52]

I find the lore largely irrelevant in the discussion of high elves being added or not.

[Psylus-wyrmrest-accord]

At best I could see them making Blood Elves both factions.

With the eye color changes belfs can make, the only thing that’s hanging things up is faction lock.

[Sumwun-tichondrius]

Y’all keep talking about them I haven’t seen these elves anywhere. Anywhere. I checked the burnt down tree on 4 different sides and nothing. I checked that village nobody goes to where they’re rumored to be from time to time. I’ve been at the sun well just before sun set in the winter. Nothing. Starting to think they don’t exist.

[Thwyris-thrall]

I know the obsession with high elves is due to racism, I just can’t prove it.

[Evilperiod-aggramar]

@Vivel-dalaran

I disagree, as I have stated…

@Evilperiod-aggramar

This line, right here, from the Wiki very much proves “high elves” are in the game.

In remembrance of their fallen brethren, the survivors renamed themselves the blood elves, or sin’dorei (“children of the blood” in Thalassian), and swore to avenge their fallen race.

I do not understand what more people want. Blizz says High elves are in game, the Wiki says we are in game, in fact this book, that is IN GAME even tells of Bloodelves being Highborne.

[Vivel-dalaran]

I don’t know what you’re trying to say.

This says nothing of the High Elves that are currently still in the Alliance.

@Evilperiod-aggramar

Blizz says High elves are in game

Ohh, you’re one of these people.

@Fostracize-frostwolf

High Elves have been playable in the game since TBC.

[Terraion-wyrmrest-accord]

I lived as a high elf for 10,000 years. IT GOT OLD!

This is a video game. Seriously, seek help.
