Unfortunately, High Elves are not going to save the alliance now, in something related to faction imbalance.
Blizzard’s bet for this was kultirans, junkgnomes and purple blood elves. That is all that will be done.
If that was not enough, it is not as if there was something in the alliance that the blizzard or horde would regret seeing disappear.
I mean that’s Blizzard’s prerogative. I don’t know why you’re worried about other people playing Void Elf with non-void skin tones, this isn’t the same thing as playable Helfs for the Alliance. They’re still Void Elves, which are Helfs, but I don’t want an entire race slot dedicated to Blood Elves on the Alliance… We got the Void Elves. So lets give players what they want without hurting everyone on the Alliance with a race slot. I’m on your side. I’m tired of the BS as well. The whole HELF movement was to get Blood Elves on the Alliance pretty much lol. Void Elves getting non-void skin tones isn’t the same thing at all.
It doesn’t affect your gameplay.
Yes.
High Elf = Highborne.
They are Elves gifted in the whimsical ways of Magic, able to consume it, just like the Arcane energies from the Well of Eternity. This includes the High Elves of Quel’thalas. Which is where most of the High Elves trace their lineage.
But It also applies to the Nightborne of Suramar. They too, are High Elves. They are so different now because of 10000+ Years of separation, Incest, and consuming no food other than Mana from the Nightwell. But High Elves all the same
The Term Highborne just grew out of fashion, unless you’re a Night Elf. Many of them still use it as a Blanket term referring to any High Elf of any variety
Alright I’m learning about that part now.
Its giving them exactly what they want.
They want to play a light skinned fantasy elf. Could name it whatever you want, as long as its a model using the blood elf model with a light skin complexion its exactly what they want.
Your compromise is to just give in.
No, It’s blizzard giving blood elves their natural eye color back which they stated in old Q&As would happen over time as they stopped using fel energy…
Because that’d literally just be blood elves on the alliance. The model was already lazily unmodified and just pasted over and stolen from the horde.
At least with nightborn they made drastic changes to how they looked.
If alliance want blood elves so bad, they need to just say it and not try this silly “Copy and paste the blood elves again but this time give them blue eyes” or “completely change what makes this AR different from blood elves and make it look exactly like blood elves”
If we took a shot every time someone said “slap in the face” around here, we’d be dead by now
Deff. alcohol poisoning just within this evening alone.
No. Their demand is for a new Helf race to be made. Void Elves are Void Elves. They have void powers, even if lighter tones. They don’t want the appearance. They want the race.
Why do you care about what other people are doing in the game that won’t affect your gameplay experience at all? Void Elves exist. Giving them options won’t affect your gameplay. Void Elves were made up out of thin air, it’s really foolish to assume we can make up dogmatic rules to restrict them already lol. They literally were just invented by Blizzard. Anything can work for them.
The biggest reasons people were against Helfs are simply because it’s wasting a character slot to give the Alliance an identical copy of Blood Elves with one eye color change. That is stupid. I agree.
Giving Void Elves a color skin option isn’t giving in. Void Elves and Blood Elves are not races. They’re both High Elves still. Void Elves having a light skin tone is not giving into the Helf race request because that is a separate demand altogether.
It doesn’t affect your gameplay.
If you want Blood Elves implemented on the Alliance side you will need a stronger argument other than “it wont effect your gameplay”.
Thats basically a cop out statement that has no meaning. There are a ton of things they could implement that “dont effect your gameplay”.
Your argument has absolutely nothing to do with what is being argued about, so therefor…its irrelevant.
Okay so, belf, highborne, velve are all high elves then. Anyone with the magic.
That’s why Tyrande didn’t accept Highborne.
Ahhh I see now.
Well what I’ve known was that the elves with the magic were kicked out of their original place, because they threathened the society by summoing demons that they couldn’t handle. And Queen Azshara was almost consumed by the magic power.
Funny they have ‘high’ in their names…
Anyway so I can get that thing now.
Hmmm… well, poor Alliance 
I never said I wanted Blood Elves on the Alliance.
Void Elves exist, lighter tones won’t affect your gameplay and this doesn’t give the Helf reqeust. The Helf request is for Blood Elves on the Alliance basically. We have Void Elves.
Obviously grass is green. The reason why people are so against Helf request is because it wastes a slot for the alliance and gives the Alliance a Horde race.
Yes it does.
The Helf crowd want a race of High Elves on the Alliance that are just plain High Elves.
My suggestion is giving an Alliance race diverse options. The Alliance already does have a race of High Elves and they’re called Void Elves.
Bingo
Yes. Night Elves don’t like magic users.
Maiev Shadowsong leads a group of religious terrorists dedicated to hunting down and murdering renegade magic users… They really dont get along
Bingo.
Once the Night Elves fought for the well of eternity, they gave the Highborne the cold boot.
Illidan had other plans but he’s very complicated
She basically was consumed. believing she and her ilk were completely unstoppable.
They were actually the highest high elves of them all. Until they got swept under the waves, of course. Now they’re barely elves at all.
Many of them don’t.
Like I said, the Highborne split into many different splinter factions over the years. It was just the ones who estableshed Quel’thalas who decided they were extra high and mighty and needed to put their Highborne status in their name.
Hence. Quel’Dorei.
Children of Higher Blood.
Purple or white remains a bloode elf
So? It seems like a lot of people want what I agree is essentially Blood Elves on the Alliance.
Why is that not enough to add them?
Well…giving them exactly what they wanted would also have to involve:
one ‘non blue/purple’ skin tone option wouldn’t be what they wanted. They already gave them the blood elf model (which was what a lot of people were cranky about to begin with). If blood elves do get blue eyes as customization, I don’t see how one skin tone option for void elves is going to sink the ship.
<----goes back to her corner awaiting the day she can have her vampire elves.
You must be joking…
But after reading your post, I too feel like high elves wouldn’t work. It won’t make Horde players come to the Alliance anyway.
The eyes are different from High elves.
High elves are more than just their eyes anyway.
There is nothing to get even about. You are entitled to nothing.
Because Void elves are an allied race and thus they will receive nothing. And they will wait their turn like everyone else.
It’s like people don’t understand who the Helf Crowd are or what they even demand in the first place.
They’re against Velf skin tones that match their former self.
Void Elves are still High Elves. They have the right to have control over the Void just like Blood Elves have the right to have control over their mana addiction.
I been to the Helf discord, some of them were open to it.
lol no
Void elves exist for their appearance.
And are a compromise to fulfill the “pretty race” quota that Alliance players need.
We had a patch about the void and old gods and they were not present at all.
