And while we are at it no shadow priest for Lightforged.
oops.
Void elves have no lore and no development past their birth, what it means to be a void elf is you were a blood elf in a void accident. Full stop.
Void elves were made to be the highly requested high elf AR with a “twist” as to not make them a carbon copy of blood elves, and it failed, it is only a popular race because it is the blood elf rig on the alliance, there has been no development in 2 years and their customization is less than desirable, especially for the males.
Blizzard attempting to make them more like the high elves they should of been and having that catch fire at the expense of void elves is no ones fault but blizzards, they knew that was the more popular request.

Like I said, you don’t respect our lore. Everything else you said is your subjective opinion and/or lies. Get over it, Void Elves are here to stay.

They do, you just don’t know any lore.
Cause they’re void elves per the game. =3

Incorrect, everything I stated is observable fact of void elves, and like I told you before, you have no lore, you were created, that’s it. Pretending you do doesn’t make you right, it makes you biased.
You’re allowed to be bitter and upset that people prefer the new high elf customization that void elves got over actual void elves, but you can point that outrage at Blizzard bud.
It’s no ones fault that a race created out of thin air isn’t popular in any way but model wise.

Anyone notice how he accuses everyone of not knowing lore, but doesn’t use any to support himself?
Is he really associating looks with high elves?
i thought he was one of those guys that said “high elves are about more than looks”.
And yet…that’s his argument.
“They look like high elves so they ARE high elves.”
So…doesn’t that mean he should have been content with blood elves?

Cognitive dissonance.

I mean, if we’re talking about Lore, then Void Elf Paladins make absolute perfect sense.

We just went through this song and dance yesterday, and this has been explained by several people, several times. I really didn’t want to recite the classic line by Blizzard to quell this argument years ago, but we have playable High Elves in the game. If you want to play a High Elf, the Horde is waiting for you.
You do realize unholy light is a spell used by undead paladins yes?
The undead are not the same as void elves, who are the void incarnate.
Furthermore, that statement was made back in 2014, before the void elves were made, and it has been stated that the undead paladins are in constant pain because to be a paladin is to be infused with holy light.
As such, it doesn’t work out because the most recent lore contradicts the old lore.
So there is no lore that supports the notion of a void elf paladin simply because
-
It has been clarified as to what Paladins are, which is light infused wielders of the light.
-
It had been demonstrated void + light interaction is entirely harmful.
-
The undead could use light because the undead are not anti-thesis to the light the way void is.

It’s sad that you felt you had to since that statement has always been incorrect.
High elf fans have never asked for playable blood elves, they’ve asked for the canon alliance group that actually refer to themselves as high elf, not blood elf.
They’re in the game, they’re on the alliance, they have a decent amount of appearances fighting for the alliance, people are allowed to request them playable for the alliance and blizzard was aware enough to make it happen in a sort of way, and now people would like it expanded, otherwise why bother even doing it?

“We aren’t asking for high elves even though we’re asking for the race, and now we’re asking for everything about void elves to be erased because blizzard gave us the high elf look.”
Honestly at this point, I am starting to think you’re trolling people.

The raised Crimson Onslaught soldiers in Northrend, yes.
Void Corrupted, sure, but Void Incarnate?
Yeah, but that has nothing to do with Unholy Light, which is Shadow/Void magic. Ergo, it wouldn’t hurt the undead to use it. If Void Elves get hurt by the Light, then Unholy Light wouldn’t hurt them either, since it’s not Light, it’s Void/Shadow.
How? This is literally Shadow/Void Magic, not the Light. Nothing has been contradicted.
I can’t say any of this is any reason Void Elf Paladins cannot exist using Unholy Light as opposed to standard Light.

This may come as a complete shock, but since someone else designed the game and wrote the story, you are not going to get everything you want out of it. The writers decided to make High Elves an endangered species by getting slaughtered by Arthas, and then had them ultimately join the Horde whilst feeding on demons’ fel magic to survive. It has been made abundantly clear for more than ten years that Alliance High Elves will never be a standalone race.
Gods above, I’m starting to like Magicke.
That wouldn’t be a Paladin. That would be a Void Warrior at best.

This is pedantic mate.
Purple blood, tentacles, no connection to the sunwell. Hear the voices of the old gods.
Yes…yes it does, because they went into further detail about the undead paladins later on and about their nature. You’re trying to ignore what present lore stated. Let alone unholy light is a “spell”, that does not change what a Paladin is at its core. Let alone he said shadow/void, which more than likely suggests shadow given that unholy DK’s use shadow magic as well.
because its been stated the undead paladins are light infused. As such, what a paladin is, is something that a void elf simply cannot be.
Having a shadow spell does not change the paladin into a void/shadow infused paladin. You’re trying to link two things and equate them as the same.
Unholy light is a spell and not equivalent to the “light” infused paladins.
Just as you have unholy DK’;s who used light spells, it does not mean you’ll have a light infused DK class.
Spells are not the same as a class. Stop trying to equate the two just because you and several others just want the perfect “high elf” race.

Has it? Cause they’ve recently decided to take void elves to a less void position and more high elf position customization wise .
Now that they have people are requesting for it to be expanded, simple as that. They don’t have to be a stand alone race anymore, but if the customization is handled badly, we’ll be right back at square one of requesting.

Technically it wouldn’t be a Paladin and the Void doesn’t do quite the same things as the Light even if the powers can often be used to accomplish the same goals.
Though they could probably get away with mechanically making a “Void Knight” class skin for Paladins and making it unique to Void Elves.
The thing is once you open that door, EVERYBODY is going to want class skins. It’s not a terrible idea for customization, but it’s enough of an undertaking we’d basically be talking about an expansion feature.
and it’s already too late for Shadowlands.

Well, it’s not like Sunwalkers and Prelates are, ‘technically,’ Paladins either. This just seems another variation on that, albeit is a fairly unique one.
Assuming that Shadow/Void Magic can be used to produce an effect so similar to the Light as to effectively duplicate it on a meaningful level, then I don’t see how Void Elf Paladins cannot exist. Unholy Light is a spell, but it’s proof of what the Void/Shadow magic can do.
Would a Void Elf Paladin be a true, light-wielding Paladin? No. They’re a Shadow-Wielding Paladin.
Honestly the biggest thing I see is what I mentioned about class skins, which you’d basically require one for Void Elf Paladins.
Once you do it, everybody is going to be wanting one. It’s not really fair to just give it to one class/race combo and nothing else, and doing it properly is big enough we’d be looking at 10.0 at the earliest.

Not really.
Let’s say right now, if you go to the Telogrus Rift and talk to a Void Elf priest, there’s a gossip text option: “How are there Ren’dorei wielding the Light?”
The Priest’s answer is, “It’s not true Light, but Unholy Light. By studying remnants of the Scarlet Crusade, we discovered that Void Magic can emulate the Light to a point where it is visually similar to the naked eye, and results in the same benefits!”
Would you think this was a neat little way to explain how Void Elf Holy/Discipline Priests exist?
As well as Lightforged shadow priests.
People act as if the concept of a race “that can’t possibly wield this power”, hasn’t already happened in varying degrees in multiple races.
It void elves can be priests, they can be paladins for the same reason they can “wield light” as priests, either way they should both have explosive feedbacks due to their void infusion.
Unless we’re about to say that they heal with “shadow” in which case, you just admitted you can wield both in the same way, which allows Paladin.
