The only way for Night Elves to win something is to be raised by Sylvanas and be on the winning side of the war.
Ever since WoW has been released, I can’t remember a single war, or siege, or battle… or skirmish where the night elves actually achieved a victory.
They always lost, and in the War of Thorns blizzard dealt the final blow to the race.
I was wondering… why does it have to be like this? Why can’t we have nice things?
You are the Alliances damsels when the Horde need to be meanies for parts of the story. The Horde acted up again, burned down all those sweet ladies forests… Anduin shakes his head. “Why Horde? Why?? Is it really in your nature to be savages??”
At least you aren’t Trolls and don’t have countless dungeons and raids of being butchered non stops and cities destroyed for some epic loot… and it all having very little story consequence… nobody to stop and say “Hey, maybe completely killing off every last Amani troll and leaving their city covered in blood may not have be the right thing to do” it just… happens and then it’s done with. All the Troll “empires” vanish within short quest chains and patches, with no cinematics or big story drama to them.
Because Blizzard hates night elves.
I don’t want to start an off topic argument here but for their entire history trolls have brought all this nonsense on themselves because they just can’t accept that the glorious empires of old are never coming back. They’re always trying to conquer lands that don’t belong to them anymore and it always bites them in the donkey euphemism.
This is synonymous with every former empire to dats. The Crusades were a Roman ploy to dupe western Europe into reclaiming the Levante and Anatolia for them scotch free. Only to catch the bird when they tried to collect dutifully.
The Amani at least have a very valid catastrophe. And the Ice Trolls, aside the dead really haven’t bothered anybody.
Blizzard writers are hardly writing Warcraft anymore. They probably don’t even know how even with the lore right in front of them.
Weren’t the ice trolls attacking both the scourge and the argent crusade? I seem to recall that’s the only reason we cared enough to wade into that mess.
Why are you elves so melodramatic? It’s like every time Blizzard doesn’t glorify nelfs it’s the end of the world with you guys. Orc, Tauren, and Troll fans get genocided like every expansion and they don’t even complain.
I don’t even know the last time the Tauren won something.
When did blizzard ever glorify us in the lifespan of WoW ?
They are on the winning side of the war in BfA. Besides, when did tauren actually lose something? Camp Taurajo? Oh cmon that’s just a meme at this point.
Also, I never saw tauren, trolls or orcs being genocided in even remotely the same way the night elves were, besides if you were talking about fel orcs or the trolls that are hostile to even the horde.
The biggest blows to the tauren were done by the horde itself I feel like.
The LK had a faction of Ice Trolls fighting on his behalf, hence the huge civil war going on there.
If thats the case, then the Blood Elves are in the exact same boat. Quel’thalas was burned twice and Silvermoon sacked once. Blood Elves were driven into not one faction but three (Alliance of Lordaeron, Illidari and the Horde) just to get a shot at getting Silvermoon back. If Kaldorei amount to damsels Sin’dorei are foot balls: moving at the toe end of someone’s foot. Its an Elf, Troll thing and somebody at Blizzard is laughing!!!
They do just fine against others, it’s the horde that’s a problem.
They don’t really lose anything either. Blizzard has no beef with Tauren.
I wasn’t aware being unhappy that yet again we lost and this time it was something incredibly hard to recover from short of cheap retcons was being melodramatic.
…“anymore” lol
Well they don’t. They had these enormous empires that collapsed for all sorts of reasons and others moved in. Does that entitle them to demand it back just because it was once theirs?
Every single Highborne quest, War of the Ancients, the entire Druid class, Azshara prior of WotA, Ashenvale during the Cata rework.
Tauren only appear in the story when it’s time to make the Horde feel sad and divided. Taurajo is the most famous example, but it’s not the only one. Remember Cairne? He died for no reason. Dezco had an entire MoP storyline dedicated to why his life sucks. Now Baine is being used to shame the Horde into liking the Alliance. There’s never any badass moments with Tauren. It’s all gloom and doom.
Every single expansion besides WoD.
You don’t remember the mountains of Orcs we had to kill in MoP and WoD? I remember when the Iron Horde was billed as a planetary threat, but they were toppled in less than a month. I don’t see any Horde quest that has them kill nelfs ad nauseam. Nelfs are still threatening, Orcs aren’t. (My opinion anyways.)
And why do you need to spam more of these threads if we already heard that their treatment is bad like 1000 times? Why do we need always put the attention to this race, why? We already know that it sucks but please stop to remind the community about it please.
Idk, are the Night Elves entitled to demand Ashenvale and Darkshore back? They lost it for all sorts of reasons and others have moved in.
I wasn’t aware they were demanding anything. Last I checked they were on the ground slaughtering their enemies and driving them out of their lands.
This was the case with almost every single troll tribe the player character engages in vicious acts of genocide and pillage against.
Basically you believe the Night Elves are justified in dark rituals and ruthless slaughter of their enemies in defense of their sacred homelands, but Trolls are not.
Well now you’re just putting words in my mouth. Trolls overreach, they try to hold onto more than they could ever possibly hold onto and trying to get it all back is going to keep costing them. Do you see Night Elves trying to reclaim the vast empire they once had?
the quests that tell you how we lost everything?
didn’t even happen between classic and now
I don’t get it
Well when I did that quest chain (which continued in stonetalon), the horde ended up bombing a night elf school. I’m also fairly sure they used some fel magic to kill the night elves in ashenvale?
He died to garrosh with the poisoned axe
Well, the tauren are the good guys of the horde, the ones that fight in a war if there’s a reason to, but also rather restrain from doing stupidly evil things. I think that’s a positive thing for tauren players.
Yes, those trolls that are also hostile to the horde. We also kill night elves that are hostile to the alliance.
those also technically weren’t part of our horde. They were part of the iron horde and garroshs corrupted old god horde.
for me it’s the absolute opposite. Night elves haven’t done anything since classic besides hopelessly trying to fight off orc’s from their lands - and in the end they lose anyway
