I don’t doubt their reasoning for joining the Horde, I actually like it quite a lot. I’m just saying that the Blood Elves aren’t the most loyal of races when it comes to loyalty towards ones faction. Blood Elves wouldn’t sacrifice their kingdom and people for the Horde, they’d care more for their own survival
Love the spooky mog, btw
So like Night Elves who are disobeying Anduin, and like the entire Alliance who in an alternate universe where the Horde didn’t invade, waged war upon each other, and like Baine who disobeyed Sylvanas to free Derek, and like Saurfang when he teamed up with Anduin.
And no one should do such a thing anyway. That’s not loyalty, that’s just being a mindless sheep.
Thanks, this is my hallow’s end mog… just wish I had the broom to go with it, but I think it will drop for me on the last day of the event again -.-
Either way, the quest dialogue makes it clear the Sanctum malfunctioned on it’s own. Even after learning of the nelves the Ley-Keeper doesn’t presume it was them who did it.
There is no evidence at all of sabotage. It’s just reached through speculation.
There’s no evidence they didn’t cause it. It’s not clear, not confirmed, all we know is it’s not working, and there’s suspicious night elves around it who usually live on a whole other continent.
Indeed, night elves spying on the belves. That we have confirmed knowledge of, just as we have confirmed knowledge that too much stress was put on the West Sanctum and that it was going to overload and malfunction no matter what.
Saying it was the nelves without actual statements from NPCs is false, especially when NPC statements outright tell us the Sanctum was going to go down anyways.
I don’t even know why the Night Elves are still with us. They’re just here to fill a check box from vanilla, gotta represent the playable Night Elf faction from Warcraft’s RTS days somehow. We’d have had High Elves otherwise
But Baine’s betrayal doesn’t make the Blood Elves any more loyal. In fact, Lor’themar ended up betraying Sylvanas too
The broom needs to be permenant, gosh dangit! Make it happen Blizz!
Yup, but still irrelevant as there’s no confirmation night elves didn’t trigger it before that eventuality.
Just as there’s no confirmation that they did trigger it. Ergo, one cannot state the nelves or dwarf sabotaged anything in the belf starting quests. We can only speculate that such happened, or speculate that it did not happen and a certain belf was looking for an excuse to pin the sanctum’s malfunction on.
He spied on the activities of the blood elves in Quel’Thalas in order to help the Sentinel spies sabotage their installations. He’s calling himself an envoy of Ironforge.
He gathered information such as detailed maps of different strategic buildings in Eversong Woods or a diagram of an arcane sanctum sketched in good detail, accompanied with numerous notes, and delivered the secret documents to the night elves, who sabotaged a sanctum.
Sentinel spies were sent to Quel’Thalas by the night elves in order to spy on the activities of the blood elves and sabotage them
I don’t know why this doesn’t count?
Three different sources.
One can dream.
But even if it’s not permanent, I’d like it if it had a higher drop rate considering it’s a temporary thing.
Dunno, if they didn’t do it, and taking into consideration the fact that up to that point they were well known for their disdain of magic… why would they be nearby?
Because when you examine all of those quests? There is no confirmed sabotage. Just spying.
And you didn’t see Blood Knights at Siege of Orgrimmar, but canonically they were there.
Honestly, they’re already spying, are you serious?
Unrelated to the discussion of sabotage.
Not unrelated as it proves things can happen canonically without you having to see it ingame.
Also, what are they there for? Bringing ships and a bunch of military to only spy and then take off? And then what? They’re gonna shake hands with us?
I’ve seen it said a few times in an early alpha build, belves were going Alliance and the nelf army down there was sent by Tyrande to help fight the Scourge. When it was decided they were going Horde, the nelves were kept to spy on them instead.
Careful, this is a dangerous road to go down. One could argue that helves were all over BFA, helping the Alliance fight the Horde, and you couldn’t disprove it by this kind of logic.
So as we’re in the actual version of the game, that’s headcanon and they’re in reality, invading Quel’thalas.
I said canonically, as the sources I linked clearly state sabotage.
Not much of an invasion force. We’ve got maybe three camps of nelves, gathering intelligence. There’s no indication they’d just leave once done either. I mean, all the sentinels could be there to protect the spies from the Scourge.
And if you look at the sources, there’s no hard confirmation of sabotage.
