The Unofficial High Elf Discussion Megathread

[Shadows-emerald-dream (Shadows)]

Two variants are already playable on both factions.

Pandaren were introduced that way, not a decade plus after the fact.

We don’t care.
No one asked for a 5th elf race. We want the first one, the one introduced over 20 years ago in the franchise, the same one we wanted 15 years ago when the game launched, and will still be asking for for the next 15 years if needed.

And?

Provide me with anything other than anecdotal evidence that there is some kind of race limit. Developer comments?

[Nyshant-wyrmrest-accord]

Pandaren were introduced that way, not a decade plus after the fact.

Got developer comments that state why that matters as a counter argument?

Nightborne were introduced thirteen years after Night Elves. They’re the same race. Just have different ear direction and can have tattoos.

But sometimes you get what you need.

[Shadows-emerald-dream (Shadows)]

I would post up the Game Developers comments on the issue, but I’m sure you already know them.

[Shadows-emerald-dream (Shadows)]

I may wear glasses, but even I can tell Nightborne and Night Elves look quite different.

So very different.

[Nyshant-wyrmrest-accord]

Yeah. I’d argue that the jpeg with the Quel’dorei and the Sin’dorei next to eachother is genuinely more different than that.

vastly different Eyes vs flipped ears.

[Alamara-goldrinn (Alamara)]

But we can ask.

You are a void elf, if you like void elves, good for you, go enjoy your game. If you want something else, go ask for it. But don’t come here and try to pretend there’s anything wrong with our wish. There isn’t. We are asking for an element that has been part of this franchise for over 20 years.

If that bothers you, it’s your problem. We will keep asking nonetheless.

@Nyshant-wyrmrest-accord

I’ll use my Level 3 super powers so people don’t need to copy/paste links:

Thank you.

They look the same. Even the eye colors are difficult to see in game. I remember when I started playing in WOTLK. I knew nothing about the lore and was incredibly confused as to why there were Blood Elves on the Alliance.

My problem isn’t with asking for something, it’s with asking for something after the game director has said “no” twice…

Like the return of flying? Or classic servers?

A game director. Who will likely not remain in that position forever, or even for long with how things are going.

[Vexander-moon-guard]

The thing is, Ion hasn’t said, ‘No,’ once. He’s stated why we don’t have them right now, and that anything is possible in the future.

[Nyshant-wyrmrest-accord]

He said keep asking twice.

[Shadows-emerald-dream (Shadows)]

That is the PC way of saying no.
