The High Elf Love Thread 🥰

I figured the Alliance would want nothing to do with the void, but I guess things just turn out that way

Well they’re not fond of the undead either…but as an alt of mine would say…

And yet, here we are.

And yes, this is a Murgalt.

@Softsong-aggramar

The next expansion is going to literally revolve around the void, N’znoth and the old gods, so how you’re under the impression that a race BUILT to control and manipulate the void will have NO screen time or significance is beyond me.

Let’s also not forget they are the single most played AR. It makes sense for them to get some love thrown their way.

No, it’s not enough, we WANT MORE.

[Alamara-goldrinn (Alamara)]

Their very existence was pertinent to the narrative of the expansion

And here’s the part you admit void elves aren’t relevant.

The current expansion has very little to do with the Void,

Wow. There were void stories in Stormsong, Tiragarde, all of Zandalar and Nazjatar.

Void elves didn’t participate in any of them.

You want the narrative for the Void elves, and you want it NOW

Yes, I do. If you are happy with shody work, congratulations to you! I want a bare minimum of quality.

Neither did the Nightborne?

Lol. Nightborne got one pf the best storylines in the history of the setting. Their recruitment scenario was just the icing in the cake, they didn’t need anything else at that point.

Void elves got the icing and no cake.

But it does matter, a lot

It doesn’t. Bringing nightborne models to a void elf lore discussion is a desperate attempt to equal two different issues.

Nightborne models lacking quality in no way make void elf lore any better.

And I can ask for better models and better story at the same time. In fact, I’ve been doing that for 20 months.

Because the Nightborne SUIT the evolving narrative of the expansion

Thank you again for showing how void elves have no relevance in the expansion that introduced them.

Should Blizzard not have released void elves when they did then?

“We will add allied races when they make sense in the story”, they said.

Yeah, right.

The problem is you got your race, and you want it to be fully developed and made the focus on an expansion that just doesn’t compliment or suit it’s theme.

Lol, it’s amazing how you make asking for the bare minimum quality sound like a bad thing.

It’s like eating a bad meal and hear someone say: “what? You expected good food?”

Yeah well, that’s just like, your opinion, man.

You know it’s true. Void elf lore is horrible, that is self-evident.

It was about as lengthy and involved as the Nightborne unlock quest.

Lol. Except nightborne had a ton of previous lore. This comparison is completely dishonest.

As an ALLIANCE playable race in an expansion centered heavily faction conflict, not as a npc race designed to further the narrative of a story for the expansion for both factions

If they can introduce and flesh out vulpera and mechagnomes in BfA, they can do the same to void elves.

The next expansion is going to literally revolve around the void, N’znoth and the old gods, so how you’re under the impression that a race BUILT to control and manipulate the void will have NO screen time or significance is beyond me.

I heard THE SAME THING in 2017…

[Caelis-azshara]

Yup, and Alleria has been on a boat all expansion and has not once interacted with Umbric except for in the recruitment quest and in the rift.

Vereesa can be the only High Elf NPC that matters and yet the High Elves have had infinitely more of a spotlight than even some “core” races.

The current expansion has very little to do with the Void

This is a joke right? First raid was a baby Old God. Third raid is freeing an Old God.

Not even mentioning the Call of Cthulu that is the entity of Stormsong.

[Firewoman-spirestone]

To sum it up:
‘We didn’t get High Elves so we’re just going to hate on the Void Elves…regardless.’

[Drede-cairne (Drede)]

Void elves got the icing and no cake.

Correction. Void Elves are fondant.

It looks good but taste terrible and is easier then doing actual work.

[Skwerl-moon-guard]

Why play one if you hate them tho? And why are they so popular?

Meant to reply to Alamara*

[Firewoman-spirestone]

Most people obviously don’t hate them.
It’s clear most people who play the game don’t have a issue with them or their story.
ah…Ok, Skwerl.

[Alamara-goldrinn (Alamara)]

To sum it up:
‘We didn’t get High Elves so we’re just going to hate on the Void Elves…regardless.’

More like: “okay, we didn’t get high elves, but I hope we get something good instead.”

And then you get the shodiest race ever introduced in the game.

[Skwerl-moon-guard]

And then you get the shodiest race ever introduced in the game

And yet still the most popular Allied Race hehe.

[Firewoman-spirestone]

Oh…really? If you say so…

[Konkka-wyrmrest-accord]

The Chad Void Elf vs The Virgin High Elf

[Caelis-azshara]

And yet still the most popular Allied Race hehe.

Imagine helping the helfer case by saying “the skeleton is popular”.

Because they aren’t popular for their story, i promise you.

Atleast the Void Elves are unique, rather than being yet another fair skinned magicy elf.

You’re right, Blood Elves with wet hair and painted blue are very unique.

[Alamara-goldrinn (Alamara)]

What wonders a model can do…

[Konkka-wyrmrest-accord]

Atleast the Void Elves are unique, rather than being yet another fair skinned magicy elf.

[Skwerl-moon-guard]

And what role do alliance high elves have in the overall story? That’s right none.

Atleast the Void Elves are unique, rather than being yet another fair skinned magicy elf

And already playable i might add.

[Softsong-aggramar (Softsong)]

Abd here’s the part you admit void elves aren’t relevant.

Not this expansion, no. They could have simply held off on releasing Void elves altogether until another expansion if they wanted, but added them anyway. Your problem lies with the fact that you want it right now.

Wow. There were void stories in Stormsong, Tiragarde, all of Zandalar and Nazjatar.

Void elves didn’t participate in any of them.

If I remember correctly any quests involving the void in the Alliances zones were pretty minor to the story, and were typically means of furthering the plot of the Kul’tirans residing in that area. While there was possibly opportunities to add the Void elves in some capacity, it would not have been by very much.

Yes, I do. If you are happy with shody work, congratulations to you! I want a bare minimum of quality.

More like I’m patient enough to not expect them to show up at every possible moment, especially when the story is building up to a theme that they will likely play a massive role in.

Lol. Nightborne got one pf the best storylines in the history of the setting. Their recruitment scenario was just the icing in the cake, they didn’t need anything else at that point.

Void elves got the icing and no cake.

We’re not discussing what they got as NPC race, we’re discussing what they got when they were implemented.

It doesn’t. Bringing nightborne models to a void elf lore discussion is a desperate attempt to equal two different issues.

Nightborne models lacking quality in no way make void elf lore any better.

And I can ask for better models and better story at the same time. In fact, I’ve been doing that for 20 months.

They are both forms of content being presented to the player to experience, Void elves got far more content in customization and appearance than Nightborne did.

The difference is that in time the problem you have with Void elves will be addressed while changes to the Nightborne may likely never happen, or take years to actually implement. Your claim that the devs don’t care about a race they clearly put time and effort into designing and developing makes little to not sense.

Thank you again for showing how void elves have no relevance in the expansion that introduced them.

Again that does not suggest there is not content planned in the future for them. Sorry you got void elves earlier than a narrative delving into their theme?

“We will add allied races when they make sense in the story”, they said.

Yeah, right.

It did make sense to add them as a race in an expansion revolving the faction conflict where both sides were looking for allies. The void elves played a large role in the faction conflict against the Horde, participated in the assaults, helped the alliance infiltrate Dazar’alor, debuted what types of powers they have and how they utilize them as weapons against their enemies.

Lol, it’s amazing how you make asking for the bare minimum quality sound like a bad thing.

It’s like eating a bad meal and hear someone say: “what? You expected good food?”

No, it’s more like “Dinner is at 9 Alamar” and instead of waiting. you stomp your feet and cry “NO! I want it now!”

An expansion is coming that is centered heavily around the Void, where the Void elves are likely going to play a major role, so why are you complaining?

You know it’s true. Void elf lore is horrible, that is self-evident.

Alamar said, from her perspective.

Lol. Except nightborne had a ton of previous lore. This comparison is completely dishonest.

Doesn’t matter, previous lore doesn’t mean they don’t deserve relevancy in the current expansion as well.

If they can introduce and flesh out vulpera and mechagnomes in BfA, they can do the same to void elves.

NPC races that are being used to further the narrative of the current expansion, not comparable to an Alliance race only designed to further a very specific narrative within one faction.

I heard THE SAME THING in 2017…

You heard BFA was going to center around N’zoth and the Void when it was very clearly being centered around the battle between the Alliance and Horde? When the very first cinematic we saw was Sylvanas fighting the alliance? N’zoth himself wasn’t even released until the END of Eternal palace for christ sake.

No one is saying it isn’t completely cruddy that you have to wait through an entire expansion to finally get some development for Void Elves, that’s completely understandable and frustrating, but let’s not pretend that its never going to happen. BFA’s writing has been a complete crap, and the sooner it’s over and done with the better.

If you’re trying to claim that the Void elves aren’t going to have anything to do with content that directly involves N’zoth and the void despite that being one of the major points revolving the Void elves I don’t know what else to tell you. Maybe loosen your til foil hat a little, as it seems to be choking off the oxygen from your tentacles.
