And yet it’s still where there are more Dwarf and Gnome NPCs than Human NPCs, just as the Park should have been again for Night Elves and Lion’s Rest wasted the chance for.
I am arguing that the entirety of Lion’s Rest should never have been lion themed, and should have been exactly the Park of Stormwind style buildings decorated with Blizzard’s newer upgraded Night Elf aesthetics they had simultaneously made for Val’sharah, especially given they knew they going to be pumping Stormwind full of Night Elf refugees in the next expansion, what with them planning expansions ahead of time. It was a poorly thought out choice in multiple ways more than just aesthetics.
I do not assume that. I eagerly await much more Night Elf content. Or we could also see move away from Night Elf content if people feel fatigued out of Night Elf content, as we saw with Orcs and Draenei (especially quick erasure of Draenei, given they only had one patch). They definitely could make the new Night Elf capital the Alliance hub that all Alliance players are intended to stay in a whole expansion. But that would just drive the Night Elf fatigue players even more insane. And they can just as easily make Night Elf involvement be a zone or storyline and still have the capital be something else that is more fitting to he over all theme of the expansion.
I didn’t know you were a mind reader, either, lest you forget who was making assumptions about what those likes meant first.
You just quoted my describing exactly that. Though to clarify I was mocking your using Lion’s Rest as an example of Blizzard properly rebuilding things.
I’ve been using it as a place to try to quarantine Night Elf player hate and Ëlësåna and Syaeles so they have an outlet and don’t keep making more threads on the same subject. It’s mostly worked, except the time the quarentine broke with Syaeles’ “Nelf Fans, don’t pre-order” thread.
Look the only reason I’m not making any more night elf threads currently is because it’s simply not going to do anything because the current writers don’t want the night elves to have something positive. I might do some more in the future and hope that Blizzard reads them just as I do some reddit posts occasionally but it’s probably just a huge waste of time. It should be accepted that the writers don’t want anyone to like the race anymore, and that’s why they punish Night elf fans like this.
It’s not like I’m just getting distracted by this thread, but if I wanted to make more NE Threads it would probably be relatively high effort ones which I simply don’t have the energy anymore after they ignored everything previously because they simply don’t want to give something for Night Elf fans to rejoice.
They should’ve seen atleast one of my Night Elf threads with 150+ likes in GD or reddit posts with a few thousands of upvotes by now, but if they don’t care it’s just pointless to put more effort into making more.
Immediately after Teldrassil I was like “Well surely the night elves would strike back eventually and get out of this absolute misery they’re in now, right?” and then in 8.1 when nothing actually happened I was like “right?” and then they said that they got their revenge in 8.1 and I died inside.
Now I just always expect the worst so that I will be disappointed as little as possible when nothing but the worst actually happens to the night elves again.
The Terror of Darkshore cinematic nearly brought me to tears, because it finally seemed like Blizzard was telling the story Night Elf fans (arguably Alliance players as a whole) have wanted for years.
But it turned out to be underwhelming, with little to no payoff at all. The burning of Teldrassil was the massive hole in the bottom of Blizzard’s sinking boat of a night elf player base… They thought Terror of Darkshore was Blizzard’s flextape solution, and wasn’t something that ever intended to be story relevant.
Yup, knowing that this was all we were going to get was very saddening.
No revenge, no justice, no conclusion, no recovery from this misery, no punishments for those that commited genocide and most likely no freedom for those souls in the maw.
Sadly I don’t entirely disagree with you. And I make no assurances that they won’t fumble it again in Ardenweald. But at least they aren’t sweeping it under the rug and hopefully we do get some sort of conclusion in Ardenweald.
As much as Blizzard like to destroy thing people love/try to evoke negative emotion, there also not stupid enough to do so for very long. I would say nearly the entirety of Legion and a good chunk of WoD was an attempt to address the critcism of Horde favoratism back in MoP/Cata.
All I said was some people enjoyed what I posted. Nothing more nothing less and part of that is clearly because night elven fan are getting annoying.
Oh I have heard all the naysayers over the years say “we will never get Ashbringer, never have demon hunter, never have classic, never have real money trade etc” and thus far I have manage to laugh as each and every one of them got egg on their faces.
Tyrande killed a bunch of Horde and retook her land. Now we are all chasing Sylvanas down like a dog. She certain got a revenge if not the one you are looking for.
As for the maw thing, EVERYONE is getting that treatment. It is not something exclusive to the night elves. And us being heroes and all it is all but guarantee we all free them we all said and done.
Personally, I spent years waiting for the story to turn back to the Lich King. I played Warcraft 3 with the end of having no resolution to all the destruction of he caused. If anything that was what made it all the more compelling when he finally got his just desserts
Those things are different, they don’t affect Night Elves. Night Elves can’t have good things and you should know that if you have been playing for a long time.
She killed a few no name horde soldiers and didn’t even get her lands back because Ashenvale is the actual Night Elf zone, not Darkshore and she didn’t reclaim Ashenvale.
The thing is that there’s something that stands in the way of freeing those souls and it’s that it would be positive for the night elves to have their people freed. Then again maybe they can work around it so that only Saurfang etc. get freed because he is the perfect noble hero and not a mass murderer.
to begin with.
