So, if you bring that up, why aren’t you wondering why Orcs still have green skin? Because in the very same sentences where the developers talked about that, they brought up that it was just like Orcs and green skin.
“Like the orcs’ skin color, such an effect would take a very long time to wear off.”
" Corruption from fel energies takes a long time to wear off. It’s why most orcs are still green even though Mannoroth is dead."
But I do like how you had to ignore the fact that High Elves were on Alliance IN WOW before Blood Elves became Horde, in order to support your claim that “nothing was “taken” from the Alliance”. (Which, in and of itself is hilarious, as Blood Elves themselves were taken from the Alliance.)
I agree, but mostly because I think the Vampy community that supports them deserves their AR even though I’m a supporter of just throwing customizations at players. I enjoy unlockable customizations that come with a story. I think it works for somethings, but not for everything. Though I’m also ok with how they handled the different tribes as customizations for the trolls. I mean, they gave me a Farraki, I’ll fill in the loreholes.
I also subscribe to the fact that red BEs will never be a thing, it’s just an unrealistic request and dream I have . Along with Man’ari customizations. A woman can dream.
It is a simple fact that there have been High Elves aligned with the Alliance since the game launched, despite Anesterian officially withdrawing from the Alliance (Gilneas & Arathi both also withdrew). Your “gotcha!” has no teeth.
again, this has been proven false. although there were stray npc’s, the Kingdom of the High Elves formally left the Alliance. They were there own thing before the the human kingdom’s formed, they continued to remain there own thing when they left. They did not “belong” to the Alliance
also on the orc topic, I agree that the Mag’har should of been a option for regular orcs, but there now available on Horde regardless.
Proven false by what? Even in vanilla WoW, there was a deliberate and obvious divide between the High Elven and Blood Elven NPCs. The High Elven ones were aligned with the Alliance, and hostile towards the Horde. In fact, Horde had quests to attack them.
Not to mention the High Elven NPCs in various towns across the Alliance. High Elven numbers have never been very large, so you can try to downplay it as “stray NPCs” all you like, but the FACT remains that the HIGH ELVES in WoW have, by and large, been Alliance aligned.
To be fair, maintaining the base model so much doesn’t help either, but looking closer to the original, yeah, only makes them look like a knock off and that’s a huge disservice to them.
Absolutely not. You’re bringing up a their leader as an argument as to why they should look like her, when other factions have had those exact same circumstances from the start of the game and it has remained consistent since then.
tbh you guys shouldn’t even exist to begin with, your whole race was created as an attempt by Blizzard to give the Alliance the belf model and maybe end the ever annoying high elf requests.
Void elves should get at least black and white options. Those are not exclusive to Blood elves, and are generic colors that would also fit the Void Elf “gothic” style.
I’m not denying that some defected to stay with the Alliance but they do not make up all of their race. Just because the Elves of Quel’Thalas changed their name to honor their fallen doesn’t bar them from what they used to have, which is that blue eye glow that somehow “belong” to something else other than those very same Elves in Quel’Thalas
because orcs DRANK DEMON BLOOD, totally different, this is a false equivalence
and for the record, before VE you could find blood elves with blue eyes in many instances like the blacksmith in the isle of thunder, the guards in wod and the elves in dalaran
they were not part of the alliance, high elves were not even a group or a organization on their own. high elves left the alliance after the frozen throne expansion
Some Orcs did. Some did not. None of the Frostwolf Clan drank any demon blood. Thrall, who was born from parents who never touched demons blood is as green as any other Orc. In fact, this was also touched upon by the developers: “The situation regarding blood elf eyes is, in fact, extremely similar to that of the green skin of orcs: just being around heavy use of fel magic turned the eyes of the blood elves green.”
He was said to have had a VERY specific reason for having blue eyes. We never did find out his story, though.
I’m not familiar with those ones, I’m afraid. Last time I remember someone trying to link a model, though, and it turned out they had green eyes.
Many of the Thalassian Elves in Dalaran are, in fact, High Elves, not Blood Elves.
Your ignorance of the story does not make that statement true.
