The High Elf Love Thread 🥰

God I’m so glad I have Alliance players here to tell me how awesome the Horde story is.

Just like it’s amusing to see spoiled Horde players complaining about getting something at all.

What’s next? “But you got the beeeeeee”?

[Tarrok-thorium-brotherhood (Tarrok)]

Yes because dear god “Look, can’t we just stick to both sides of the story suck and not try and pretend the other side is favored because we don’t like our own story?” Is so antagonistic

[Alamara-goldrinn (Alamara)]

Well, it’s easy for the ones who got a story arc, more cinematics, the best allied races, more customization options and varied reputation mounts to pretend they drew the shorter stick.

[Tarrok-thorium-brotherhood (Tarrok)]

Well, if you’re going to be that way.

Yeah, Alliance has been doing that since Cata haven’t they? Because dear god, once Blizz realized 3 expansions in that hey, lots of people play horde, it might be a good idea for them to have as many leveling zones and closer to an equal number of quests, dear god alliance flipped their lid and have been crying bias ever since.

[Awz-wyrmrest-accord]

The entire arc and the final mak’gora are about the Horde’s soul. “The Horde will survive, the Horde is strong” vs. “The Horde is nothing.”

Saurfang yelling “for Azeroth” does not change that.

yes it does. saurfang and anduin wanted to ‘break the cycle,’ when saurfang reflects on the dishonorable legacy of his past and how sylvanas in one sense is the true leader of that horde based on her bloodshed and carnage. anduin is able to convince him that moving forward, they dont have to fight for the horde or the alliance but for azeroth

[Starlagosa-dentarg (Starlagosa)]

I prefer love for the Alliance High Elves, but we all know the devs love the Horde more.

Do ‘we all’ now?

[Tarrok-thorium-brotherhood (Tarrok)]

Well, we do have the greatest experts on how well the horde playerbase enjoys its story and experience here: Highly opinionated Alliance players.

[Starlagosa-dentarg (Starlagosa)]

It’s hard to believe any Alliance loyal players can keep playing this game considering you ‘all know’ Blizz just hates you.

[Alamara-goldrinn (Alamara)]

Yeah, Alliance has been doing that since Cata haven’t they? Because dear god, once Blizz realized 3 expansions in that hey, lots of people play horde, it might be a good idea for them to have as many leveling zones and closer to an equal number of quests, dear god alliance flipped their lid and have been crying bias ever since.

What Alliance arc was there in WoD or Legion?
What Alliance arc was there in Cata?
Come on, show me one “For the Alliance” moment in any of those. All three were pretty much neutral storylines, about the world and not the factions.

MoP had both an Alliance and a Horde arc. It balanced both factions way better than BfA did.

Highly opinionated Alliance players.

Say the highly opinionated Horde players that feel the need to come to an Alliance-request thread to oppose it at all costs.

[Tarrok-thorium-brotherhood (Tarrok)]

What Alliance arc was there in WoD or Legion?

Legion? You’re seriously pretending there wasn’t Alliance story in freaking Legion?

Ok, I’m out.

[Starlagosa-dentarg (Starlagosa)]

spoiled Horde players

How about dialing back the hate?

[Alamara-goldrinn (Alamara)]

Legion? You’re seriously pretending there wasn’t Alliance story in freaking Legion?

There’s the draenei arc, but it’s hardly about the Alliance, and not against the Horde at all. There’s also some night elf story. But also nightborne and highmountain story, and we all know how those ended up.

[Awz-wyrmrest-accord]

What Alliance arc was there in WoD or Legion?

yrel/khadgar in wod and alleria/turallyon/army of the light in legion. khadgar is human just like saurfang, but operating in a neutral capacity through 2 straight expansions. not just a couple patches.

[Alamara-goldrinn (Alamara)]

It’s funny that Horde players pretend to be so miserable yet they prefer to pester Alliance requests than make their own requests or complaints. When they make a complain thread, it’s to complain about Alliance players.

Maybe it’s because they are more bothered by Alliance wanting things than by what they get from the game.

Said unironically in a thread that’s basically a continuation of over a decade of Alliance demands for their own copy of a core Horde race.

Said unironically in a thread that’s basically a continuation of over a decade of Alliance demands for their own copy of a core Horde race.

Thanks for proving my point.

A decade-old request that is constantly shunned by Blizzard. About a race that has been in the Alliance for 24 years.

And the Horde players are here because Alliance can’t get nice things.

[Tarrok-thorium-brotherhood (Tarrok)]

They didn’t shun the request, they just didn’t do it how you want it to be done. They twisted things around and put the high elf race on the Horde side. And I like the way you pretend we have no reason to be in here when what you’re requesting does have effects on our story.

[Alamara-goldrinn (Alamara)]

There’s zero effects in the Horde story. High elves already exist and already are Alliance. No one is asking for them to retake Quel’thalas or kill off the blood elves.

[Awz-wyrmrest-accord]

High elves already exist and already are Alliance

and here we go, fanfictioning theres a MASSIVE, UNSEEN alliance high elf population behind a couple npcs in stormwind since classic. they are basically easter eggs

[Tarrok-thorium-brotherhood (Tarrok)]

There’s zero effects in the Horde story.

Prove how it can’t effect the Horde story.

No one is asking for them to retake Quel’thalas

Not most of you, but that’s actually a thing that bounces around a bit in some of the discussions I’ve seen in the past couple year. So not “No one”
