Well then stop pretending you want high elves to save the Alliance’s endgame scene. You want them because you wanna pway de cwute widdwe bwonde Barbie.
The Alliance has a massive edge on conventionally attractive character models already. One more isn’t going to stop the players looking for a way to more easily access challenging content, which is by far the thing damaging the Alliance’s playerbase most.
Give them Halfling to that they complain what they look like, how they walk, etc stuff. They can be a Halfling which they can be small, be like gnome like style. Scrap the High elves which to many out there, you guys need a Halfling instead =)
The Blood Elf story is listed as “Alliance Campaign.” The Alliance PoV provided to players in TFT is via the Blood Elves. Garithos was a villain masquerading as a friend, as is common in many stories. He was an internal threat to the Alliance and its ideals, which were narratively carried by Kael and the Blood Elves.
Too bad TBC retconned all that and took the most braindead interpretation of events to bolster giving away an Alliance race to the Horde.
Neither Do I.
No one should have to fix a problem they didn’t create.
Blizzard created the problem. So people are just subscribing to what Blizzard created
If you have a game with 2 playable faction, then 1 of those factions is simply going to be better.
If Blizzard were smart, this problem would’ve been circumvented by simply allowing the factions to work together.
Garithos was the de facto head of the alliance military at that point, and his incompetence effectively burned the ties that the people of Quelthalas had to the alliance to ash.
Further, if you had actually played and understood what was going on in the story of FT, you’d see that Kael’s morality was eroding as time went on, fully throwing in with illidin who (until it was fan canon’d away to the utter detriment of the plot) was effectively kil’jaedin’s pet.
No, Alliance players left their faction in an attempt to go to greener pastures. Blizzard didn’t put a gun to their head and tell them to go Horde. The Alliance is now feeling the consequences of their own playerbase’s laziness.
I like the Alliance because it has a fair mix of races. Void elves didn’t have the same dominating effect blood elves had on the Horde. Let’s keep it that way.
And the blood elves are the high elves. It’s not open ended. The void elves were Blizzard’s answer to give the BE character model to the Alliance while still making it visually distinctive enough so that the game maintains the visual distinction players expect between the factions.
i have like 10 belfs. only 2 are blonde. the rest are brunettes. btw, do you have something against blonde elves that you use it as a form of derision? i mean you already have them as playable on your own faction. we only have them as allies.
Uh huh.
Blizzard did create the problem. The had 2 strict factions that aren’t allowed to interact with eachother, despite doing the exact same content.
That means. Inevitably, one faction will be better, simply because it has more population.
The Number 1 thing you can do to improve an MMO is to have more people.
So people join the Horde, where there are pages and pages a groups at all hours of the day, doing all levels of content, all the time.
Some people like Alliance races, I clearly love the Night Elves.
But they’re on the Alliance so it’s my choice.
Play the Night Elves, Or play on the Faction that has most of WoW’s community.
i’m you without horns or hooves. and i am missing the tail and the waggle. if i’m wearing the right mog, people on the forums mistake me for a draenei.
Mate I play Oceanic Horde. Rather than blame Blizzard for the fickleness of the playerbase I have gone to the effort of building a group. I never have to worry about finding groups for any kind of content because you only need 4 other people to engage in meaningful content.
take me to church! but if they accept the truth that ‘high’ elves and blood elves are the same, then you realize making the same race playable for a second time is completely redundant on all levels and is never going to happen
thats why they deny the lore and development because if they can take any minor difference, magnify it, and raise it as a shield to push their agenda. it will make it seem like they have more of a cause to want playable pale, blonde haired elves on their preferred faction
So you realize you have the exact same problem in reverse?
I Just made the opposite choice.
For me it Gameplay, Over faction. Not Faction, over gameplay.
But by your logic, You suffered through it. So instead of making it better for a future generation, everyone else should have to suffer through it too.
When Clearly it is a problem that effects both of us.
