Well, yes.
I guess the Blood Elves do need their b-tier villains.
Actually they inherited all of the BE story up to the end of legion since directly came from blood elves. They are branching stories, not seperated.
As for the part of your post stating they should had been from SC elves, i disagree, since the SC elves and most current alliance thallasian elves are prideful of their “integrity” of not using what they perceive as evil magics. An sc elf would not touch the void.
That is not to say how ever a un-affiliated dalaran high elf would not want to study the void how ever, and there is high elves that did assisted horde in ratchet.
It actually makes sense if you followed the high elf side story from tid-bits on horde/alliance. The reason they turned their back on qual’thalas was because of dubious magic usage, on top of allying with what they felt was an enemy of the elves since wc2.
Those are things from your class. It thematically fits your class and it’s okay. The purple effect will always be with you, no matter what class you play. The purple effect only works if you’re a shadow priest. But if you’re a healer priest? You just look goofy.
You don’t though. You’re welcome to show me a high elf out in the world that has your same style of hair. If you can’t find any that look anything remotely like you, then you’re probably not a high elf.
No. Just your hair is made to look wet, and has a weird tendril style like your hair is forming into void elf tendrils. (This is even with the tendril toggle. Your hair still is shaped like a tendril.)
Again. You don’t. You look like a void elf. Until I get what I am asking for, you always will just be a void elf.
That is a redundant statement.
The Void Elves seperated themselves from the Blood Elves as they went with the void theme.
I did not state that they did not share history, I wrote that they were seperated. The High Elves and Blood Elves DO NOT have a seperated history. They went through the same story, they both suffered the withdrawals of their magic addiction, minor change in how they handled it, but with the Sunwell back the Blood Elves and High Elves are essentially the same.
The Void Elves, however, are different, and their path has potential to go a different route - unlike the High Elves. That is of course, up to blizzard to utilising this potential.
Nah. Entirely fanfiction. The Silver Covenant have not stated they are prideful of their “integrity” or whatever. The only thing we know of the Silver Covenant, is that they are angry about the Blood Elves joining the Horde. Quel’Lithien was angry about the Blood Elves wanting to suck magic from living beings, and Quel’Danil is… well, they just did the typical High Elf thing and secluded themselves.
High Elves and Blood Elves are separate now. It doesn’t require the elves to suck on some void magic for them to diverge into different paths. They basically already have with the high elves all working with the alliance mostly. With strong writing, the high elves can easily be made even more different from their horde brothers.
How?
What would seperate them?
They are both dependent on the Sunwell for their magic addiction.
They are both magic and ranger-based groups.
They both have a reverence for nature - not to the same extend as the Night Elves - but enough respect for it.
Culturally and physically they are the same. Storywise there is no way their paths diverges, they are one and the same. Even in terms of the light they are, in fact, the same. The Blood ELves have taken one step further and also gotten paladins (Not unthinkable for High Elves, but rare). The High Elves always had priests, afterall.
I just don’t see where they are different.
It works well with DK’s, locks, and rogues too. It adds a cool flare to petless hunters and warriors too.
No it’s not lol, learn what a branching story is.
No they didn’t, actually blood elves is a large part of their founding, as they banished them. Most likely if they did not do that, they would not be alliance aligned.
You stated the story was seperated, i corrected you, the story did not seperate, it branched off.
I agree with this at least, but it is similar to how blood elves started too, via dabbling in dibious magic, both doing it because they beleived it would help their people. Only blood elves stopped going down the path due to the sunwell being restored.
This is a mirror of the original story if anything.
No it’s not. There is a blood elf quest in MoP of a husband that choose to be a blood elf mourning his wife that choose to be a high elf due to her beleif of using mana tap is wrong. This is canon dude.
They branched off, not entirely seperate. They entertwone story wise several times too, and both need the sunwell.
Also, the story was also seperated.
Definition of branch off
: to separate from something and move in a different direction
Not sure why you want to argue that point in the first place.
Yes, Quel’Lithien High Elves disagreed with sucking magic out of living beings.
The Silver Covenant did not like that the Blood Elves joined the Horde.
They both have their reasons for disliking what the Blood Elves did - both reasons being absolutely silly too.
Awesome, your leaving off the part of the definition! As it also means forking and veering from the story. The origination is apart of their story, as such it is their story. If the origination of their story did not come from BE’s i would agree the story is seperated, but it is not.
The elf refurred in the MoP story is an sc elf that the husband is depressed about.
It doesn’t work with hunters unless you’re a darkfallen honestly. Rogues it only works if you’re subtlety. I don’t see how it works with Warriors at all considering Warriors pretty strictly don’t ever use any type of magic.
I am a Priest so no, It fits just fine! But thanks for all your concern with how my character looks!
Both Holy and Disc priests have shadow spells still 
I’m sure there are High Elfs out there with long hair…it’s not that unique…
Nah, it’s just voluminous baby! Don’t be jealous of how fab I look!
No, I look like a High Elf

To this day I still have no idea what people mean by “High Elf hair”, and what makes it any different from, say, human hair. I do not want this explained.
okay, velf hair is “messy”, a sort of dishevelled look. so even though they have a couple belf hairstyles, they have been modified to make them look wet/greasy/chaotic. in cadazmir’s opinion, high elves would be fussy about their coif, and want it to look clean and organized (well groomed), not greasy and chaotic. i think thats the idea.

sure, why not
I do not understand what the developer’s approach was with this race at all. Not only villainize they the players in not giving pure High Elves, even the looks of a greasy and and balding player characters isn’t this healthy and attractive looking. At least the female hair styles don’t have this problem.

Then the root cause of the problem is Alleria, the woman with centuries of void training and who ate the core of a dark Naaru, and came out looking no different than before.
The race was FUBAR’d before it was even added to the game, and despite the numerous opportunities to do something about it, Blizzard hasn’t.

An issue that could be fixed if they’d add an npc interaction showing new recruits (wayfarers and scholars) undergoing training to master control like Alleria and an interaction showing those recruits later going through a modified ritual (not unlike Umbric’s group) to infuse the void into themselves.
The results being both Umbrician, Allerian and a mix of both types of void elf.
Make all of our options Canon.

Did we, the player charecter spend a 100+ year of training, and ate a void naaru, or where we forcefully transformed into a type of void being.
The answer is the latter. Alleria isn’t the problem, the problem is people jot following the story and unerdstanding the difference. And quite frankly i am sick of ppl looking for excuses to blame something that is entirely unrelated to a race story. Yeah she saved them, but they are not her.
