You realize you guys got what you wanted too right? No need to rain on the parade.
Donât even try to twist my wordsâŚAGAIN.
A blue-eyed belf is still a BELF! Just ask any DK.
So no, it its not what ~I~ wanted; nor many others.
No skal for you!
(Commentary): I recall her bragging in one thread weeks ago about Void Elves never getting normal skin tones, and that I shouldnât even think about it. Was kind of funny because I actually wasnât at the time.
The selling point of Blood Elves is the ability to play a Thalassian elf on the Horde. Adding in Alliance High Elves - albiet on a slightly twisted path - as playable does not magically negate that fact.
Adding in Void Elves originally didnât either.
The Nightborne are really quite similar to Night Elves. Iâll preempt you and say you not caring isnât an argument-- they are in the game and side with Horde. Also they are doing quite well in population numbers, unlike Kul Tirans and Mechagnomes.
Thereâs a good reason why Nightborne are different in ways; and thereâs a good reason why High Elves are almost exactly like Blood Elves.
Itâs perfectly fair because you arenât losing your character. Just because you get mad because you see a very similar looking character on the Alliance, it isnât a good reason for Blizzard to cater to you.
They didnât get what they wanted.
If they were like, âWe want blue eyes.â then theyâd have gotten what they wanted.
Instead they were like, âWe want blue eyes so you can never have them.â
So⌠wan wan.
Blood elves didnât âevolveâ from high elves. They ARE high elves, with a different political affiliation.
Thatâs like saying a Californian is a different species from a New Yorker, just because they moved west.
To be fair, I think some people genuinely wanted blue eyes for Belves. But I can certainly confirm there were people who wanted blue eyes in and effort to make the pro helf position weaker.
Oh theyâll do their little rain dances, donât worry. Fyre and all the other little Blizzard trolls will be shoving this in everyoneâs faces for quite a while.
Typical.
Skäl, to all the faithful!
What cookie?
I donât know about you but Iâm excited with the prospect of being able to play High elfâs on the alliance.
I donât need the game to straight up call me one. I know what I am.
they know. theyve always known. not sure what the point of keeping up the charade is now though
(Query): So, when you were among the folks telling people that Void Elves were High Elves, the Allianceâs High Elves, one could say you knew too?
Itâs incredibly childish and itâs as if they want to double down on their choice of playable character rather than acknowledging that it might not actually be exactly what they had wanted, so now they have to talk themselves out of rolling an Alliance character, or just generally trying to make someone else feel lesser than.
Youâd literally think there was a test with written and oral components to roll a blood elf the way some people are getting on.
Void elves are getting the full range of skintones from belves. We are also hoping the racial could be altered so that itâs optional, or at least a different appearance.
We are also waiting on news about hair colors.
Whatever helps you sleep at night.
Mic drop.
âŚand you should see the amount of Horde threads whinging about how âthe Alliance got something thats ours waaahâ.
âHorde toughâ, huh.
Skäl
it seems you canât be happy though you spiteful busche
âŚsays the BELF.
Oh my god, you just made me spit out of coffee from laughing. I love it!
Iâm goinâ to enjoy some new RP ideas with all this. Goinâ to make a blue-eyed Blood Elf Mage, main Fire spec, transmog Feloâmelorn, and go full on Imperial Inquisition.
The Sunwell protects! Death to the Heretics!
