Would you be willing to join my group and let me record you walking into the Silver Enclave as a Blood Elf to see what happens? I’ll record it, of course, for science… and YouTube.

lmao a gameplay mechanic =/= lore and the SC dont even have a presence in the most current dalaran
and why not move to stormwind if they actually wanted to serve the alliance LMAO
So, remove the void fantasy for those who like what they were given in the beginning to make spoiled, entitled, greedy and selfish players happy.
We are sharing a race; Blizzard was kind enough to heed your request to fulfill your fantasy. Now you’re asking to remove something other players enjoy.
We are void.
The Horde awaits you for pure elves.

Cross Faction is a thing now and in the future guild cross faction.

lol. if they really wanted to portray the SC accurately they would just hang out in dalaran all day and never leave. unless the farstriders requested their aid again
You already tried this argument once, it was terrible before and it’s terrible now — why not abandon Silvermoon and move to Orgrimmar, if BE’s want to serve the Horde?

and youve yet to address it. why are they in dalaran and only ever appear when dalaran decides to get involved in a story line? why arent they present in every zone on the map handing out quests like every other alliance race? theyve been around since wrath but never appear solely for the alliance isnt that neat. the only time they appear independent of that context is to aid the horde through the farstriders. if you want to interact with the SC as alliance you have to go to dalaran because they are absent from 99.99% of alliance stories and quests, what a joke. they dont support the alliance like the void elves and never will
and i hope your avatar updates soon

I’m sorry but I honestly can’t give credence to any statement that claims second class citizenship in a situation that is entire derived from a population mechanic.
All of the actual faction specific game mechanics designed favour the Alliance to make up for the population mechanics.
I somewhat agree, as it was an edited model, but it was nothing like what was represented in game. Even despite the lack of customisation, and after receiving the new customisation (which I believe still leaves Nightborne with the least customisation in game) they just aren’t even close to what was expected.
They are closer to the non-fruit empowered Nightborne than the healthy race in my opinion lol.
That’s true, but as I said, they are not one in the same.
Alleria was a High Elf who steadily gained Void powers over her time on Argus, had a mentor to assist her through the transition and then ate the heart of a void lord to complete her transformation.
The Void Elves are Blood Elves who had already been corrupted by the fel, studied the void magic, eventually got caught by void entities, and were subjected to forced integration with complete void entities (with the intent that the void would be the dominant entity in the merger), which was then halted during the process.
They were never meant to be like Alleria, possibly as you previously mentioned because Blizzard felt it would lack the uniqueness (aesthetically) to warrant being a new race.
You referred to “copy-paste” negatively before, yet an uncorrupted regular form would have been even more “copy-paste” with the only difference being a negative thrown over it during Entropic Embrace.
I don’t believe that is close to the same thing, what you are referring to is exactly the situation of the Nightborne, a race that looks nothing like the in-game version of the race.
Void Elves don’t look like a single main character that has an entirely different evolution process.
Also those trolls exist, the trolls from Zandalar on the Isle of Thunder don’t have the straight backed posture, if those were where the playable trolls came from I can’t see why they wouldn’t be hunched, but instead they are from the capital.
Yep, I don’t disagree with that.
I’m not sure myself, possibly? I’ sure they had some logic behind it, spite? Placation? Who knows.
It was weird all around.
I think they couldn’t risk giving Blood elves something additional without balancing it out, which seems fairly true based on the response of people angry that Blood Elves got new heritage stuff (which I agree was pretty unnecessary)

So edgy
That’s so 2018 and just repeating like a brainless parrot what a lawyer said. You helf haters are the vegans of wow, getting angry about how people enjoy their games.

It’s hardly strange that a group of High Elves whose loyalties are primarily to Dalaran (and secondarily to the Alliance) would show up when Dalaran was involved — it’s certainly a good thing that the crux of what I originally wrote doesn’t exclusively or explicitly rely upon the Silver Covenant, nor does the de jure neutrality of that organization invalidate any of what was originally stated.
My character is Kul Tiran, so, same.

Is being a vegan supposed to be associated w something negative like you’re making a reach but it’s not quite clear as to what you mean.
In any case I doubt that person you responded to is a “helf hater”
This is the part you quoted and they quite clearly recognize what faction has the playable High Elf race in its story continuation w the capital, Kingdom, culture etc to back it up, so not exactly “helf hating” like you tried to once again reach because recognizing Blood Elves as High Elves isn’t exactly hating them is it?

You need to stop with your “Fan Fiction”. The Silver Covenant is not Neutral. And they have never been neutral. Just because they live in a city, and work for a city, doesn’t mean they are neutral.
Otherwise, we can use your “fan fiction” towards you, and say that the Sunreavers are also, neutral, which mean Blood Elves aren’t a Horde race.

so far we have only seen them work with the horde outside of dalaran through the farstriders. never out there by themselves with the alliance. as well as their leader attempting to join the horde after mop in a novel. if anything their secondary loyalty is to their homeland. you most surely jest

It’s why devs never counted their population when they spoke about Alliance leaning High Elves because they are a part of Dalaran.
Though its interesting they’re bringing up Sunreavers as a neutral group bcz… they too are a part of Dalaran, and yet the Kingdom of Quelthalas itself and its people are Horde. So it’s not really an issue for the population of High Elves on the Horde as a Horde playable race, because Blood Elves exist outside of the Sunreavers as a Kingdom and the majority population, where as the SC seems to be what these people try to hold on to as a population group but outside of that fall flat in trying to pin point anything outside of that.

Part of my issue is VEs have already lost visual uniqueness again and again, when we finally had a chance to get something unique it was recently just given right back to BEs. VE main story is that of the playable Blood elf race and making them neutral or adding a Horde version of that story now infringes on VE story.
Good, make them vanish. Purge all the elves from the game. They cause nothing but problems.
Maybe high elfs should be faction-neutral, like the Pandarian. I don’t know if that fits the “lore” or not but it would make both sides happy.
