(Spoilers) How the Night Elf story could have progressed if the writers didn't hate the race

Breaking news: the writing is dumb. Film at 11.

I’m confused by this too.

Apparently blood elf are know for making troll thread on the same level of MHP and night elf player even if the only BE troll thread that i saw the last month was all by the same BE poster who isn’t even back up by other BE poster.

That and the fact that BE are the most played race so of course the chance of having a thread by a BE is kind of high.

But here on the forum, one BE thread equal two 100 night elf thread or high elf thread.

Yeah I hardly see Belf players complaining about stuff about Belves in story. It’s a weird, defensive knee-jerk that person has going on there.

Maybe that has to do with the Blood Elves not getting treated as badly as the Night Elves?

Belves were wiped out in WC III…

They got their zones back and they got justice against Arthas. Something the Night Elves never even came close to.

Well maybe Nelves will get that back. It’s not like the story is done. It took what like 6 years before Arthas was killed off? And Also Silvermoon still has not been repaired.

Well no, Teldrassil is completely gone and Ashenvale is a Horde zone forever now. Sylvanas is getting a pass and she also defeats Tyrande.

Female night elf posters are becoming the new MHPs.

Sylvanas’ story isn’t over and all the things you’ve posted about 9.1 are not there in the actual instance on PTR.

Areas likely will not revert back for anyone until Blizz has a story for it. Like with Silvermoon. I don’t ever expect that to get updated until they have a story there. I don’t think they hate Belves though.

No actually they didn’t.

Teldrassil burned, and the Horde invaded Ashenvale and Darkshore, but the Horde was pushed out of both regions by the end of BFA. In fact, the Night Elves won their skirmishes with the Horde after Tyrande became the Night Warrior. I’m not surprised that you don’t know this though, because you don’t seem like someone who actually pays attention to the lore, and would rather write your own to replace it.

By the way, Darkshore? It will likely always be a zone that jumps between the factions thanks to it being a Warfront zone in the same way that Arathi does, even though the Alliance won there too and has control of most of the region.

Specifically in regards to Ashenvale:

The Horde held onto the following areas during the events of BFA.

  • Zoram’gar Outpost (used as a staging area to attack Azuremyst Isle)
  • Silverwind Refuge (was being besieged by the Sentinels)
  • Spintertree Post (was being besieged by the Sentinels)
  • Warsong Lumber Camp (was being attacked by the Dryads)

Meanwhile the Night Elves control the following areas in Ashenvale

  • Maestra’s Post (was being assaulted by the Horde)
  • Astranaar (under siege by the Horde)
  • Stardust Spire (under siege by the Horde)
  • Raynewood Retreat
  • Forest Song
  • Blackfathom Deeps
  • Both land routes into Darkshore.

And it won’t be in a very long time. It’s just that a dev confirmed that she’s getting away without facing justice.

They are, in the first chapter even. Tyrande loses her final showdown with Sylvanas, and then gets put to sleep for the rest of the patch.

Yea but atleast Blood Elves have Silvermoon and their surrounding zones. The Horde is transforming Ashenvale into a wasteland and the Night Elves are just somehow ignoring that because the writing is so bad and malicious.

Nope, Ashenvale remained a Horde zone. The Night Elves never reclaimed it. They only reclaimed Darkshore.

It mostly a few BE poster joking about how perfect the BE are or the few that defended Sylvanas in Bfa and that mostly it. Since than, i often see people putting all BE together in any thread with some BE poster arguing about something.

But the amount of thread actually created by BE poster ABOUT BE is kind of really low and is nearly just Everen.

If alliance player really want to compare alliance cliche poster such as MHP and night elf with the horde i feel like forsaken( death to the living) or orc (muh honor) would be a better choice ( even if i am a forsaken fan). But i can’t recall the last time i saw one of those thread since Bfa.

Where?

Ysera puts Tyrande asleep. You’ve posted that they let Sylvanas kill her and hate Nelves because of an instance that doesn’t conclude the story at all.

We have some of our city. The rest is still being taken over by the Legion and the Scourge.

No, it didn’t. It was a contested zone with the Night Elves holding several territories and besieging several other locations controlled by the Horde. To quote my edit of the above post.

The Horde held onto the following areas during the events of BFA.

  • Zoram’gar Outpost (used as a staging area to attack Azuremyst Isle)
  • Silverwind Refuge (was being besieged by the Sentinels)
  • Spintertree Post (was being besieged by the Sentinels)
  • Warsong Lumber Camp (was being attacked by the Dryads)

  • Maestra’s Post (was being assaulted by the Horde)
  • Astranaar (under siege by the Horde)
  • Stardust Spire (under siege by the Horde)
  • Raynewood Retreat
  • Forest Song
  • Blackfathom Deeps
  • Both land routes into Darkshore.

Since we do not know whether or not the Night Elves were successful in taking any of the Horde controlled regions that they attacked (or vice versa), we have to assume that by the end of the war that no territory had changed hands, meaning that the Night Elves still control the bulk of Ashenvale.

For being fabulous.

Here’s the problem, OP is right.

When was the last Night Elf victory in game?

Literally during BFA.

The Darkshore Warfront was canonically won by the Night Elves, which allowed them to secure the entire region, lore wise at least (game mechanics wise it’s still a zone that changes hands between Alliance/Horde). Additionally the Night Elves retook and secured many of the areas they lost to the initial Horde invasion of Ashenvale.

I might have had more sympathy, if the night elves weren’t known for turning a blind eye on the problems of all other races, being excessively xenophobic in the past, and their demi-gods bastard children didn’t try to wage war and drive the Tauren to near extinction while the elves refused to do anything about it or even acknowledge it.

Even still, I don’t like that they burned the tree (I refused to participate in the war of thorns), but still a small part of me just remembers everything the night elves have done in the past, their past actions, and their attitudes, and I part of my just has a hard time sympathizing with the idea that they are innocent helpless victims. Just feels like a massive slingshot of karma
