One could argue it has. The Night Elves have been largely missing from a lot of the events. It is certainly possible that the writers have simply set them aside. Or it can be argued the lose of population, weakened infrastructure, need to rebuild, etc have all limited their ability to play a part in the larger world.
And what we do have from them since has been defined by what happened. Even going forward into Shadowlands they are defined by that event. So, yes it has had an impact.
If you are just referring to players not being limited. Of course they have access to the story. That will always be the case, even if from a story perspective they really wouldnât be all that involved.
It was at Blizzcon. They talked about designing it in a way that let both sides get their share. You can see it pretty well in the way it was set up. Both sides get their punches in.
And I think that would have been fine, if it had also been true with Teldrassil. It is the discrepancy between the events that created the problem.
Right, so you have nothing. Youâre making stuff up as usual.
This is you taking things personally.
Yes. Because it is part of that revenge stuff you keep whining about.
This is you making stuff up again. Not a single source says Nathanos can âcome back anytimeâ. This is one of the many reasons people are saying you and your ilk are being unreasonable.
Yeah, the whole expansion should have been designed in a way that let both sides âget their punches in.â To this day, I donât understand why they didnât do that. It seems like it shouldnât have been too hard.
This I give you, but only in a tweet, not in game.
A contested territory technically under the control of the Cenarion Cirlce.
A contested zone that has just as many Horde bases and Alliance bases.
Confirmed via the book to still be under the control of the Cenarion Circle, they are just allowing Tyrande and such to stay with them.
Technically contested but I will give you this one, all signs point to it being majority night elf controlled.
A contested territory, so much so that there is currently an active thread debating who actually controls it in this very story forum, with no consensus in sight.
Ashenvale yes, but itâs also littered with horde, itâs been contested since the game launched, and this has never changed. Azshara is 100% goblin controlled now and has been since the end of MoP.
Well now that weâve done the tally properly leaving Night Elves controlling 2 zones, neither of which is actually depicted in game(only in lore), ummmm, almost all of them?
I donât want to meet you guys. I want you to suffer.
Iâs not like I think that any repercussion a horde player woudl aggree with would be remotely suitable or even comparable to what you have done.
It has to HURT you. Then we have a solution that is remotely compareable.
Iâd say somewhere around the time this was posted by one of the level 10 Night Elf posters when they appeared out of nowhere en masse.
I said âcanonically,â so game mechanics like âcontested territoryâ donât apply, which is your basis for dismissing most of the territory I listed. I also was talking about holdings, not just zones. That means things like villages and whatnot scattered all across Kalimdor. Also, I donât think you have been to Azshara since Cataclysm. Still plenty of Night Elves there.
The gnomes never been relevant, the dwarves and worgen never been relevant but the Night elves get at least one zone dedicated to them in every expansion and itâs REE THE NIGHT ELVES HAVE BEEN MISSING FROM A LOT OF EVENTS!!!
A single person posted something stupid everyone! Letâs vilify ever other person who even looks or talks even slightly like them, and make conflations that if one person said it, they must all be like that!
Wait, I feel like Iâve heard about something like this beforeâŚcanât quite put my finger on itâŚ
Thrall, Baine, Bwonsamdi, Shadra, Hirâeek (who I have to waste time saving). Iâm sure Calia pops in at some point. Along with ancillary ones like Draka, Kaelâthas, and Sylvanas.
But the events do. Even if you donât know what the population was to start with, the losing an entire city and surrounding area with a quest designed to highlight just how hopeless it is has an impact. Sure the writers can just magic population out of nowhere (which is a whole different discussion), but the loss was designed to be felt. It does have an impact.
I agree. I would even add that it should have been the philosophy for far more than just an expansion. It should have been that way for all of Garrosh war. It should have been that way for all of Sylvanas war. And victories and defeats should have been shown for both sides.
Well, you have clearly not played and/or followed what is going on in the beta. You should have a nice surprise waiting for you.
