The High Elf Love Thread 🥰

“High Elf player reporting in! We already have playable High Elves uwu”

We do already have playable high elves.

That’s an actual point.

I’m sorry, but that’s an actual Dev post that Hec posted from somewhere else. I just posted it from Hec because it was easier that way.

That’s the Primer thread, mate.

[Avarie-farstriders]

There’s awesome people in these threads and it’s hard to leave because of that.

Ah, so it’s fine to add nothing serious to the discussion but it’s not okay to drop some support. noice.

I see you Reno

Even assuming people were going around saying blood elves are high elves by itself, which they’re not, yeah. A shallow post with a legitimate argument is much better than a literal nothing post that doesn’t have any content.

[Tashari-wyrmrest-accord]

I appreciate when people drop in with their support. Guess it’s subjective.

i doubt blizzard is going back to the high elf well for a 3rd time, with the model now shared its pretty much dry.

A consistent suggestion from pro-HE players is for Blizzard to create a completely new model, with similar structuring but discernible distinctions.

but we all know this is about skin tones not lore. so…

It took me 11 seconds on Google to find the thread I cited to, which demonstrates that your statement clearly isn’t a universal truth.

This goes back to you being selective about the things you choose to actually pay attention to. But hey, you do you.

the alliance feels shafted because theyve invested all their time and energy into getting the impossible, a carbon copy of blood elves.

1. You most certainly don’t speak for every Alliance player.
2. I’ve been posting in support of playable HE’s since 2009, and throughout that entire period I’ve advocated for them being entirely disassociated from BE’s (culturally, politically, and aesthetically).

You’re currently 0 for 2, slugger.

I’m sorry, but that’s an actual Dev post that Hec posted from somewhere else. I just posted it from Hec because it was easier that way.

I’m about 99% certain that is a wholesale copy/paste of Lydon’s original post from his anti-HE thread. Which is most likely why we received a wall-of-text, instead of a neatly packaged citation.

Edit: Should we hold our breathe for Bretherezan to admit he mistakenly attempted to pass of the musings of a player as official commentary from Blizzard?

[Awz-wyrmrest-accord]

so void elves?

[Tashari-wyrmrest-accord]

Void Elves use the Blood Elf model tho

[Fyarsing-sargeras]

so void elves?

A silly comment is silly. From a Vulpera, why am I not surprised.

[Alamara-goldrinn (Alamara)]

Ah, so it’s fine to add nothing serious to the discussion but it’s not okay to drop some support. noice.

I always said these guys are here just to disrupt the discussion. They have nothing useful to add, they are just being contrarian for its own sake. Just look the way they were mean to Sarallesta just because she changed sides.

We are talking about people who come back hundreds of times just to be condescending to others.

[Fyarsing-sargeras]

Void Elves use the Blood Elf model tho

This is the appropriate response:

[Guzzle-barthilas]

Well, sorry, I don’t much care for people posting at a thread and not in a thread.

Maybe you should be defending Hecatone’s post then, if you care so much about people speaking ill of other posts.

[Awz-wyrmrest-accord]

its all about skin tones fyor. everybody knows it. including development

how many more times do we have to hear ‘just give void elves blood elf skin tones’ proving no one cares where the skin tones come from. it has nothing to do with lore

you want to play a horde race? the horde is waiting for you

[Tashari-wyrmrest-accord]

If it was all about skin color then Blizzard would’ve kept the pale skin and did something else.

[Guzzle-barthilas]

“I don’t have a counter argument. If I say to ignore them I’ll look smart, right?”

[Tashari-wyrmrest-accord]

Which post is that?

[Guzzle-barthilas]

… So basically you replied to me without reading any of the posts that came before it?

[Valarían-hydraxis]

DID you know the child Genn brought through the Last Portal from Teldrassil, was named by Tyrande “Finel” Because was the last Night Elf “The Last” to escape Tildrassil alive.

[Firewoman-spirestone]

Never hurts keep asking for something that has been asked for and keep letting the Devs know what would make Alliance Players Happy. As far as I am concern there don’t even need to be debate between the two groups pro and against (both sides know what the other want already). That’s not most of these post are about anyhow, (imho)

This is so true. Just like many of us are going to keep asking for Blood Elves to get more eye color options. The thing is, if they say ‘no’…then I’m not going to keep nagging them about it.
