Can you provide a source for that? Otherwise I’ll assume you’re lying like most pro alliance high elfers love to do.
“Ultimately, it is a matter of time before the fel-power induced green glint reverts back to the blood elves’ regular high elven eyes. This process, however, may take a fairly long time”
There has never been any lore ever that says you can pick and choose what parts you get from the Sunwell. That’s why Keal had to destroy it the first time when it got corrupted.
The developers literally just said Gold Eyes are what happens when you are purified by the Sunwell. Take it or leave it, that’s the truth.
And this is like 10 years old and likely not canon anymore. They have just recently established the Light as a primal power in the universe.
Like the Devs said, Gold Eyes come from the new Sunwell because it is mixed with Light.
There’s also been no lore stating the opposite, so you’re still not helping yourself.
Unless you can prove It’s no longer relevant, you’re just making stuff up like your sterotypical pro alliance high elfer ![:rofl:](https://d38bqls1q93fod.cloudfront.net/en/wow/images/emoji/twitter/rofl.png?v=6" ":rofl:")
This is an obvious troll post. No one can be that ignorant. I advise that people move on from this comment.
That’s not how it works. If you say something is possible you have to have evidence.
You’re the one making up bogus crap about ‘britta light filters’ for the Sunwell.
Its been shown that you can’t pick because when the Sunwell was corrupted Keal blew it up. They would have had to destroy it again if Velen did not use M’uru’s core.
Its been shown. The counter idea hasn’t.
The devs just stated what happens when you are purified by the Sunwell. That is the current up to date lore.
You have to cite where that came from an check if it’s been changed by something else to prove that is current.
All I have to do is link what the Devs just said.
It is a troll post. It’s likely Pallymcpwn on an alt.
Hm, this sounds way better than using the Nigh Elf model, the Nigh Elf model body structure, faces and animations aren’t fitting for a Thalassian elf unless you do a lot of changes that take a lot of work to do and could never resemble the High Elves players are used to look and interact with.
Blizzard did used the NE model on some NPCs like the blood princes and Nozdormu but the big difference is that they are just NPCs and not playable characters. The model that you are going to look all the time while you play with had to resemble and fit the race you are playing and animations have a huge role on it, and they are the hardest part to edit and work.
The devs could make a better work by making a unique model or using the one that the High Elves already use as a base instead of the NE one and most likely it wouldn’t be harder. They could do a really nice work by making a unique model for the San’layn too, but if they should use the Thalassian model as a base for them or make a unique one is up to the San’layn fans.

Yep, it’s definitely Pallymcpwn.
Hey, found this by chance in Youtube:
It’s the devs talking about the blood elves way back in TBC development (you’ll notice the blood elf models are even the old skinny ones).
At the start of the video, they call them “high elves”, but then, as they highlight the changes their society (confirming the use of fel and even saying that the elves “lost their souls” in the proccess), the difference between high elves and blood elves becomes clear.
Yes, some time later Velen restored the Sunwell and “restored the soul of a nation”, but at that point the high and blood elves were already going different directions. The new golden eyes just confirm that there’s no going back.
This is why Vereesa talk about “redeeming” the blood elves. The high elves see them as people that lost their way.
Blizzard did explored this theme of High Elves and Blood Elves going into different directions and antagonizing each other like in the Argent Tournament and the Isle of Thunder, but for some reason they never took the next step which is make one side of it as a playable allied race.
I love the Blood Elves and their thematic, the history and development that blizzard did on them on Warcraft III was amazing and it set them apart of the Alliance High Elves, now you have two totally different flavors of thalassian elves but you can play only one side of it.
I love a lot of things about the Blood Elves, too bad you never get Blood Elf stuff by… playing a Blood Elf. As soon as you finish the Ghostlands it all becomes all Forsaken and Orc…
If you think that a Warcraft race introduced in 1995 is only representable by a skeleton introduced in 2007, it means you don’t know what a High Elven is at all.
Ignore people telling us we cant have something that should be available to us. We demand high elves in the Alliance. If the horde can get exactly what they want there is no reason we cant aswell.
I read Drede from a long time. Believe-me, he is good in answering troll posts if is that the case.
Let me be honest. The Night Elf model does not fit even for Night Elves.
So, yes, the High Elven request when comes ‘to use the Night Elven skeleton for High Elves’ have the requirement of ask with it a huge amount of changes to the Night Elven model, to the animation and body size, in order to make it a playable High Elf.
But, they did it to Zandalari trolls, so is not an impossible ask to do.
Cannot agree more, i have a lot of complains about the Night Elf represention in WoW, mainly culturally and visually, it’s a far cry from the Warcraft III Night Elves in many ways.
When female Void Elves look better on Night Elf Warfront armor than the Night Elves themselves you have a problem.
You can make a Zandalari Troll using a Night Elf as the base model and it resemble like a Troll just fine. It’s ridiculous how Night Elf base models are closer to the Zandalari ones than from the other Elves.
It’s not about “pressure.” It’s simply “we’d like this” and as long as people would like High Elves some day, why would they stop wanting them?
Like you can disagree all you want with HE’s being playable, but you do realize you can’t stop people from wanting them, right?
You know, after talking to some great people in this thread who have made some impressively creative mock-ups of what High Elves might look like, and how they might come into the game, my views have changed a little.
I still would rather see them not added if only because I don’t really condone retconning, even if it’s been done in the past, but I think if they did do it, I’d be happy to see what they can do with High Elves.
This Nightborne leveling was fast!
I worked hard! And the leveling experience isn’t so bad anymore. Kinda enjoyed it oddly.
Do you prefers questing or dungeons?
