The High Elf Love Thread 🥰

[Valarían-hydraxis]

Its not outdated, its been built upon.

But anything pulled up past it you guys call it fan base junk, seen that a many a times.

[Bourbonboxer-lightbringer (Bourbonboxer)]

Reminder that we’re both arguing with someone who claimed earlier that there were no Alliance story arcs in Legion

Alamara? Im pretty sure me and her had that argument whether or not the high elves had a major role in Suramar. Guess they didnt after all.

[Awz-wyrmrest-accord]

damn dude, wod/legion were draenei lore deep dives

‘where all the alliance stuff at’

[Bourbonboxer-lightbringer (Bourbonboxer)]

But anything pulled up past it you guys call it fan base junk

Thats nice, and I dont care. Has nothing to do with my point. Stop trying to discredit it with conjecture, thank you.

[Valarían-hydraxis]

Not trying to do anything to you, just pointing a fact is all.

[Tarrok-thorium-brotherhood (Tarrok)]

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.

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.

Alamara? Im pretty sure me and her had that argument whether or not the high elves had a major role in Suramar.

I’m curious what exactly would be alliance story that fits these standards

[Bourbonboxer-lightbringer (Bourbonboxer)]

Which involves nothing about my argument. Please refer back to: thats nice, I dont care.

Im glad Alamara finally saw my point two years ago. They grow up so fast.

[Valarían-hydraxis]

you guys come in here screaming why you dont want Playable High elves but it just boils down to your opinion why, You never post facts or lore (imho)

[Bourbonboxer-lightbringer (Bourbonboxer)]

You never post facts or lore

I just posted lore. And my argument was about having more high elf representation in Stormwind.

[Valarían-hydraxis]

I just posted lore.

Give us your best reason why High elves should not be Playable in In the Alliance.

[Bourbonboxer-lightbringer (Bourbonboxer)]

Do you want my personal reason?

[Drede-cairne (Drede)]

They branched off what, 15 years in game time?

Technically around 30 years since they broke off after the Second War.

That’s if you don’t count the ones from Dalaran bing a separate population for around 3,000 years with a lot of mixing with humans.

And no, when you try to pretend there’s no connection between high and blood elves that’s just wrong.

And no one is pretending there is no connection.

The each broke off from the original and went in different directions.

They are separate stories now rather you like it or not.

There’s a short period of time where they are separate, but 99.99% of their history is shared.

In that case it’s all Night Elf story since they where Night Elves for melania but are only separated from them for about 4000ish thousand years.

Then we have the Void Elves who only had a few months to a year of separation.

Having a shared history doesn’t mean they are the same at all.

[Valarían-hydraxis]

I dont care what yah give your best winning argument why not.

[Lannisteros-proudmoore]

And opinion at the end of the day is all players can have, I truly believe Blizzard will put in HEs or they would have banded them into VEs when they got the chance but they did not.

And the HE story on Alliance is what I’m interested in seeing, semantics on this that and the third from opinions not worth reading because they aren’t based in kindness don’t interest me. Just supporting HEs

[Bourbonboxer-lightbringer (Bourbonboxer)]

because they aren’t based in kindness don’t interest me

“Anything that doesnt instantly support the cause isnt worth listening to” is a great way to post to avoid acknowledging you further. Thanks for your identification.

[Tarrok-thorium-brotherhood (Tarrok)]

Technically around 30 years since they broke off after the Second War.

Isn’t that just when they broke off from the Alliance?

That’s if you don’t count the ones from Dalaran bing a separate population for around 3,000 years with a lot of mixing with humans.

Yeah, but you get both flavors in Dalaran, it wasn’t just SC types, the Sunreavers exist too.

Ever since I spent two years with the Silver Covenant, I always wanted them playable.

[Tarrok-thorium-brotherhood (Tarrok)]

Why you’d want a violent extremist branch that’s more than happy to commit ethnic cleansing on those they disagree with is beyond me.

[Saraslam-frostmourne]

You are correct, and guess what, it was this page right here:

https://wow.gamepedia.com/The_Warcraft_Encyclopedia/High_Elves_and_Blood_Elves

Also from the same page

“High elves and blood elves are physiologically the same race, and they are descended from night elves. Nevertheless, due to their shared history and philosophical differences, the three groups do not share a close relationship. Indeed, night elves regard high elves and blood elves with suspicion, disgust, or outright hostility.”

Sure has not felt like that at all.
