Trufully, we actually do not know the actual number of surviving High Elves that still call themselves High Elves. Yeah, it could be around that number, it could be a little more, it could be a little less. But we actually do not know the exact number.
Yeah claiming that half elves would outnumber high elves is dubious at best, specially considering that Blizz has said that any hybrids are super rare on the first place.
Pretty much. Anyways, I don’t think he is going to post a source to his claims, which means, he might of gotten his facts from the RPG which is non-canon.
And give some other races the spotlight for customisation, especially since void elves have gotten special treatment already. There are more races then just elves in this game.
<-----Marks out ‘dark ranger’ and replaces it with San’layn (though dark ranger options SHOULD be given to blood elves via undead skin tones and red eyes ).
I don’t know about ‘in the first place’ anymore. I have a few books that I can now safely burn tomorrow, so that’s fun.
Yep, nailed it. I honestly don’t even know why I bother with WoW any longer, they have to be the most inconsistent game world I’ve ever come across, including Exalted and Rift.
Their RPG stuff, which must be purged now.
Based on what I’m seeing now, I’m pretty sure that was by design, because they don’t even know what to do with the lore they have literally written down.
Once again, above. Apparently there’s only eight humans, two dwarves and a single gnome that make up the entire Alliance. The rest is just an elaborate illusion that Blizzard can’t even prove right this second with their own lore books. Astoundingly terrible.
May as well say there’s 560k High Elves walking around. Screw it , they’re obviously the DLC for when subs dipped too drastically. No other explanation at this point.
If there’s ever an old world update again i want to see Dalaran back in Hillsbrad and officially rejoining the Alliance permanently. It’s the perfect place to be the Alliance Thalassian Capitol. And the Alliance post BFA has made significant landgrabs in the Northern EK. Retaking Stromgarde, Southshore & Southern Silverpine. So it would make sense that Dalaran could potentially return to its old spot safely.
Not gonna read alllll the replies, but I support Sara on this case.
Offer all Void Elves a free racechange so they can be High Elves if that was their goal of rolling Velf. Give Void Elves their identity back and High Elves their own platform. Win-Win.
Yes, that’s it! I’m sorry I thought Darkfallen was another word for Dark Rangers! I know about San’Layn. Thanks for the correction though, I’ve edited it to say Dark Rangers on my post now xx
The problem that I see with this Anansi is that Half elves would most likely be based on the human model. So there’s a chance that they will just be humans with elf ears. Otherwise, they would ideally need to introduce another rig for them, a bit thicker than the Thalassian rig, and thinner than the human rig to represent that mix. And while it would serve us all magnificently for the entire human rig to be modified to not be so thick and bulky (and with better running animations) so as to also support Half elves, we know that Blizzard loves taking the path of the least effort. So adding elf ears, some re-colours and some hairstyles from thalassian elves is more likely to happen, and a Half elf separate tooltip race be added under the Human main category is more likely to be the case.
So I see it more as an extra customization option for Humans, or a human sub-category if they merge some ARs with their CRs. There was a youtuber who made an incredible video in which he included half elves in the human rig I think, but I can’t find it right now.
So, to summarize:
For tidiness, RP and lore purposes, Blizzard should merge several ARs with their CRs in the form of sub-categories. The sub-categories will usually have some unique cosmetic characteristics, but that is not necessary. The main differences will be political. D&D style races, here I cooome:
Humans → KTs, → Half elves Orcs → Maghar Orcs, → Fel Orcs Dwarves → DIDs, → Wildhammer Dwarves Thalassians → Alliance: Void Elves → High Elves, Horde: Blood elves → San’Layn Forsaken → Dark Rangers (so both Blood elves and Forsaken will have a thalassian elf rig option if they wish) Draenei → LFD, → Eredar Trolls → Zanadalari → Forest Trolls Tauren → HMT Gnomes → Mechagnomes
Not just them, but also the identity of void elves, which high elf players gives 2 ooken dooken about.
Cools, come visit my thread sometime and give it some love;
The only void elf there was before the void elves was released was alleria but they made them anyways…
You guys keep using that sad arguement lol.
Not blood elves, given to forsaken.
I have a thread asking for both Half elves and to give them their own model. It would make little sense for half elves too be to far one sided on either side of the spectrum and should have it’s own personality/posture.
