Something i have noticed about Void Elves

Community General Discussion

The lore guard has ruined this for WoW. Period. There’s no reason to have to explain anything about WoW anymore - lore or not. The moment we went back in time (jumped the shark) all requirements became null and void. This is further explained by exhibit b) void elves and their introduction to WoW. Among others.

Clinging on to some belief that lore is the reason why people can’t have something and makes you somehow the arbiter of that fate… well, stop trying to enforce how people have fun.

And this is how you write a straw-man argument for you readers at home.

122

So, you tell people to stop telling other people what to do by telling other people what to do…?

They have as much right to not want something just as much as you have the right to ask for it.

Oh snap. You’re right! You totally destroyed my argument. I’m sorry internet troll, please carry on if you derive your fun from telling people on forums how to play.

:frowning:

You are right. I am sorry I took away someone else’s fun.

124

I was asking you a question but judging by your response (calling me a troll and getting super defensive for no reason), I got my answer.

Enjoy your night

The number one pastime around here, seems to be contrarian posting about something someone wants. Explaining why it can not, and will not, ever happen. While also forgetting that the last 15 years have been filled to the brim with hundreds if not thousands of people who said the same thing about all the stuff we have now.

126

Paladin would be a far stretch for them but I could see some kind of emerald nightmare style or void shrouded druid and they already have fel shamans who instead of controlling and asking the elements they kind of chain and force them to their will.

127

:frowning:
Not what I meant… I meant the internet troll that I responded to in my original post. You actually had a valid point.

I hope you have a fantastic evening filled with mad lootz and awesome heals.

This is how you strawman someone’s hyperbole to demonstrate the nonsense that is “people saying no clearly are just being hateful and mean to my ideas.”.

129

Ah, apologies. Sometimes with blizzard’s buggy forums the reponses don’t show up properly. I thought you were responding to me.

Actually, you can recreate nobuno (darenai shaman origin) story easily seeing how draenai were not elemental oriented until someone lost their connection to the light

131

Anything is certainly possible if Blizzard decides they want something to happen.

I’m beginning to think VE paladin requests are the new High Elf threads. Give an inch, take a mile. They’ll probably get’em before Night Elves lol

I can explain one of these. I’ve seen one about why Void Elves cannot be Demon Hunters.

“But they’re an elf!” I hear you tip-tapping on that keyboard. But I am gonna have to stop you there.

The fel and the void do not mix well together, if they mix the being could end up being torn apart.

The boss, Xhul’Horac in WoD is an example of this. If you pay attention to the lore in the journal…

"Summoned by Gul’dan from the depths of the Twisting Nether, Xhul’horac is one of the most powerful of the Void Revenants—a race of parasitic void-beings that tear holes through the planes of reality, consuming and absorbing the energies and beings within. Gul’dan has twisted Xhul’horac by feeding him overwhelming fel energy, and using his powers to tear open the portals through which he plans to rally the forces of the Burning Legion."

This is a being who is overwhelmed by being fed Fel Energies.

Now I can hear you tip-tapping again. “But Warlocks use both void and fel magic!” Slow down, get those pizza grease-covered fingers off your keyboard and buckle down buckaroo, I’m gonna yeet some lore into your face.

Warlocks manipulate Fel and Void, they are not beings laden with this power. It’s the difference between a paladin and a priest; a priest uses the Light as a tool, they study it and figure out their use, a paladin is a beacon of the Light, it courses through their veins (and I’m going off of the human/draenei/belf type of paladin here)

It’s also like a mage and a shaman. Mages study and use magic through formulas and manipulating arcane energies, Shamans are granted their powers and are beacons of the Elements themselves.

A Void Elf, being laden with so much void energy that it physically changes them, would be turned into chunky salsa if they decided to become a Demon Hunter because DHs are given demon’s blood to grant their powers.

Blood elf forum heroes are my favourite to laugh at. Back before Shadowlands they were even crying and demanding void elf DK’s never be a thing

I’ve only start playing since BfA and I don’t understand nor care about why people are taking the story of a video game so seriously.

I support throwing those 26 years of efforts on building this world into the dumpster, because it’s been proven that those generic Korea MMO are much much more successful than WoW.

136

“The lore ambominations I like are okay, but the lore abominations you like aren’t!” OP, its just typical GD rubbish.

137

So, because you have just started playing the game and despise any world-building, we should just do what you say and chuck it out?

Screw all the different games, books, and etc. spent developing that lore?

Surprise surprise: there are some people who play this game because of the lore.

138

If I want something I’ll keep crying and screaming like a 5yo spoiled brat until I get it, no matter the cost, because I’m more important than anyone else.

139

sorry did I forgot to put a “s” tag?

oops sorry bout that.

But still, that Korea MMOs being more successful part is kinda obvious no?

140

I think the only one I saw a solid “no” to was paladins, which I do think would be admittedly silly for a void magic inspired elf. I think shaman makes more sense if azeroth’s earth is void tainted.
