New Customization Options for Blood Elves and Void Elves

Sorry, any bickering to the against is really no ones problem but the persons personal problem.

High Elves have always been on the Alliance as their own separately named group, Blood Elves have not.

Full Stop. You don’t get to pretend there’s controversy there when the game itself actively supports this viewable, in-game idea.

People not understanding the nuance of is a different problem all together. :man_shrugging:

and I agree with you on that, with the wayfare they can fix something this, and not a simple grape aesthetic

They can even create a void-based civilization by being the first in azeroth, without being a bad thing

I don’t need to pretend there’s controversy. It’s been there since BC. People fighting over High Elves and what a High Elf really is and isn’t.

To say otherwise is being silly and ignorant to the discussion of the past 13-15 years. :face_with_hand_over_mouth:

And that’s what’s missing: canon explanations.

If I were given the task, I could come up with explanations for everything. I’d write down an ethos of the void, explain what their recruits are seeking, create several characters with different PoVs, integrate void and high elves, create reasons behind it, plan their capital…

You could do the same. Or Shadows. Or Avarie.

The problem is that all of that is fan fiction. It’s Blizzard that needs to put those details on the lore, through the game, short stories, comics, cinematics, wharever…

Until that happens, the discussion goes nowhere. It’s just a clash of potential stories, conjecture, headcanon and personal hopes.

I could easily come up with one in like 5 mins. Just a sign of Blizz laziness.

that the high elves were always an alliance is a lie

As many times as they say it will not come true, the elven civilization has more time than the existence of the lordaeron alliance

Anesterian only accepted the lordaeron alliance because they reminded him that during the trolls war humans helped elves against the amani threat

When the alliance wins the war against the orcs, the high elves leave the alliance saying that it was mishandled, not only the elves of quethalas but the humans of guilneas and kultiras

only alleria continued with the alliance until the end disobeying the orders of its king, which disappear in draenor, the only high elves that have always been faithful to the alliance have been the alleria family

the fact that the blood elfs are called that has nothing to do with the high elves, it is a symbolic name, with no intention of changing anything

the blood elfs we are the ones who rescue silvermoon

the blood elves we are the ones who are protecting the most important legacy of quethalas which is sunwell

and most importantly we try to protect the largest number of thalasian elves after the arthas massacre

that 1% of the survivors of stop comes to say that they are the pure ones without caring about the fate of the sunwell or the city itself is ridiculous

wildhammers are just dwarves with blue tattoos

Blood Elves have them physiologically. Easy.

Physiologically they are High Elf and Blood Elf.

Politically and by “actual name”, just High Elves.

Simple.

Some void elf fans would be disappointed in my writing of them though. They would disappear just as quickly as they appeared and high elves would take their place. Not literally, they’d have a better hub than a few rocks in the void.

How is that any different from Lightforged Draenei? An entire race based on using Light.

Except people try to argue that Blood Elves are not High Elves/ Are High Elves and people go in circles leading to 20,000 post threads that get flagged needlessly and bogged down by bickering confirming what I said is true that there’s too much bickering over the name “High Elf” and that it should just die and fade away.

Thanks for the help Cezol. :face_with_hand_over_mouth:

if we think about the high elves that are in the alliance are still in a frozen state

How they are healing their mana addiction, how they plan to build a settlement where and when

your fate is to be diluted in human blood?

where is your lore going? their only participation has been as an antagonist of the blood elfs, and having an expansion of factional warfare they did not show their heads as if it happened in legion or in the same mop

Are we really still arguing of who is a High Elf?

No Blood Elf refers to themselves as a High Elf. I don’t understand why people keep arguing this.

The game goes out of its way to separate Blood and High Elves from each other. This is a nonsense controversy imo.

Their overall name can simply be “Thalassian Elves”

There’s no need to muddy the waters of the group names when we already have different names for each group of Thalassian Elves.

Solid and very unpopular opinion as usual my guy. :kissing_heart:

We starting to see the difference between opinion and fact?

Probably not. :cry:

Cezol just said Blood Elves are High Elves, so yes I do believe we still are, which further lends credence to my point.

This is a subjective opinion, my guy.

When have you presented facts kizzan?

Light doesn’t send whispers in your head telling you to murder your family and pledge yourself to tentacle beasts.

I mean, Alleria has the fame of being the first mortal ever to not go insane upon mastering it. People, especially those not interested in magic, like civilians and martial practicioners, would be kinda of wary of being injected with the stuff.

Lightforged draenei are just martial-inclined draenei that got infused with the Light. Regular draenei already worship the Light. It’s nothing too hard to grasp.

Also, lightforged draenei can hardly be called a race. They are more like a military order.

Yeah, it just tries to force itself on you against your will turning you into a psychotic being of holy energy.

This.

Too bad some continue to ignore these historical lore facts, yet also continue nitpicking any pieces that fits their fiction from the same lore, and barking “they’ve always been in the Alliance cause LORE!!”.
