The High Elf Love Thread 🥰

It can be done in a lore-friendly way,

Well no, they aren’t out there “in that that way”. This was clarified by a dev.

you just don’t like it.

Have you tried applying this to yourself?

[Tashari-wyrmrest-accord]

Have you tried applying this to yourself?

I wouldn’t play a High Elf so I don’t care. I just support the people requesting it.

[Hecatone-burning-legion (Hecatone)]

Cool, but that response wasn’t in the logical sequence. Have you realized that you’re a bit intense for someone with no horse in this race?

[Acony-pagle]

I don’t understand how the lore for elves allying with trolls work. I thought there was a history of trolls imprisoning and torturing elves in the lore before TBC.

[Hecatone-burning-legion (Hecatone)]

Different trolls?

Humans weren’t so great either, and that wasn’t ‘history’ at the time.

[Itoldyouso-illidan]

No not at all, but suggesting they could become different does make sense, this is what we call story progression, as much as it doesn’t suit your case.

You mean…like void elves?

If they can turn Blood Elves blue and give them to the Alliance and as you have even stated, “That is different enough” then making our High Elves slightly more muscular isn’t even remotely out of the realm of possibility, i know your imagine just dies when you talk about High Elves, but lets put in a ˡᶦᵗᵗˡᵉ effort babe.

My imagination dies because what you’re suggesting is already provided through void elves.
You’re just upset because they’re blue, and not pale. If you used some logic you would understand why your suggestion is already fulfilled by void elves, and simply is not lore frindly.

You mean like how Vulpera were added because of their parent race the gob…wait.

Looks like a fox to me.

It’s almost like ARs make more sense because they chose a side rather than your own goal post of they have to have a parent race .

You mean…like its been demonstrated so far with every allied race that has a parent race?
Hey, what factions are LF Dranei, Dark Iron Dwarves, Mechagnomes, Mag’har, HM tauren, and Zandalari trolls located?
Are they on thesame faction as their parent race? Or different.

Awww did we hurt your feelings defending ourselves from your ignorance of lore-nuance in our thread?

Shucks, i’m sorry.

My feelings? No.
My head? Yes.
It causes a headache every time you wrote another inane argument that makes no sense.

“ Stares in Fyrebusch ”

“Stares in Kizzan.”

You can just say “I hate player requests because i’m believed i’m owed exclusivity to a group i never had” Or “I’m just a hateful anti-alliance Hordie”, take your pick, they’re both probably right.

“I hate bad player requests that ask for a group that the Horde have”

Is that not what you wished to hear? Shame.
Its a pity the Alliance has players such as you trying to represent them.

If they were the same as High Elves then why do people not like them and feel like they don’t fulfill the High Elf fantasy on the alliance?

They’re not pale and blue eyed.

[Itoldyouso-illidan]

It was a different group of trolls known as the Amani. The humans also made some attempts on the high elves’ prince’s life.

[Tashari-wyrmrest-accord]

Have you realized that you’re a bit intense for someone with no horse in this race?

Just because I won’t play one doesn’t mean I don’t have friends who want them. So in a way it does affect me. Regardless, I’m not being intense at all, I’m looking at it from a perspective who wants to try to make everyone happy.

[Itoldyouso-illidan]

Don’t ever try to make everyone happy. You’ll fail.

[Drede-cairne (Drede)]

They’re not pale and blue eyed.

Yes they are…

[Hecatone-burning-legion (Hecatone)]

I’m looking at it from a perspective who wants to try to make everyone happy.

Except the people it would make unhappy.

[Awz-wyrmrest-accord]

Just because I won’t play one doesn’t mean I don’t have friends who want them. So in a way it does affect me

then you have the same option you have always had, to play a high elf on the horde. a carbon copy was never going to be given to the alliance without being modified providing distance from the theme and aesthetic of being a traditional high elf which is what blood elves are

[Saraslam-frostmourne]

Because in the end, the only thing Anti’s care about is “looks”, yet, when the pro’s suggest maybe altering the model to look different than the Blood Elves, the Anti’s keep saying that they are the same.

[Itoldyouso-illidan]

Yes they are…

Void elves are PALE and blue eyed?

[Itoldyouso-illidan]

Have you ever considered that the matter of making high elves playable is complicated due to the obstacles involved? Being upset we do not agree with the idea does not mean we are not open to changing our minds if given good justification.

Unlike some of the Helfers like Kizzan, I am not of the mind to go “NEVER EVER!”
Give a good reason and minds will change.
Toss out insults and complain we don’t agree, and that’s taking you nowhere.

[Hecatone-burning-legion (Hecatone)]

I also dislike the Alliance high elf story. They seem pretty high brow, even for an elf, and a bit racist.

[Saraslam-frostmourne]

Toss out insults

And where have I ever insulted? Have you ever seen me say your argument is invalid? Have you have seen me insult you?

Give a good reason

How about lets start with the fact that there is a group of them already within the Alliance. Yeah, the SC, Highvale Elves, they’re not Horde, are they?

I also dislike the Alliance high elf story.

Yeah, but that is your opinion. And honestly, I am on something of similar agreement here, but then I realized, hang on, Blizzard has been bad at making stories good. And the best example of this is BfA.

[Awz-wyrmrest-accord]

I also dislike the Alliance high elf story. They seem pretty high brow, even for an elf, and a bit racist

same. the void elves have now take over that role anyway. alliance high elves will never be portrayed with more presence or gravitas then the PLAYABLE void elves ever again. its over. its pretty obvious that they are never happening. for the alliance. because the vast majority are part of the horde, which is of course the root of the issue, them being on the ‘wrong’ faction

[Itoldyouso-illidan]

And where have I ever insulted? Have you ever seen me say your argument is invalid? Have you have seen me insult you?

I am clearly speaking generically Sara.

How about lets start with the fact that there is a group of them already within the Alliance. Yeah, the SC, Highvale Elves, they’re not Horde, are they?

There are groups that have worked for the Horde and been human. If that i the argument, why not let any race go anywhere because a group somewhere has worked for the other side?

[Hecatone-burning-legion (Hecatone)]

Yeah, but that is your opinion.

Well, yeah, that’s what you bring to an opinion fight. What did you expect me to bring, a knife?
