The Unofficial High Elf Discussion Megathread

[Bladinas-scarlet-crusade]

B is essentially the trajectory High Elf society would have taken if the Scourge invasion hadn’t happened. Which is why it’s grayed out. It’s to illustrate that that path of the ‘true High Elf’ is, in our current WoW universe and timeline, extinct.

I kinda figured that, but still wasn’t quite sure. Maybe you should make an extra note just for clarification.

Just a suggestion. My brain could be slowing down this time of day.

You keep bringing the SC when I’m talking about specifically about groups like the Allerian. Who are Literally the Warcraft II Rangers, and are on the Alliance. Granted, you have to pivot it to the SC so your opinion is a bit less nonsense.

again anything from warcraft 2 is a part of the quel’thalas heritage/culture and everyone knows this. the alliance the elves were loyal to at the time was the original alliance of lordaeron which they would later lose intrest in and secede from

i refer to the SC elves because they are literally the only alliance high elves that are out there doing things and the ones people in this thread claim to want to play as

The Thalassians split, and High Elves got the tattoos and blue eyes

high elves are blood elves now. pls dont forget this. at this point in time in the canon, the quel’thalas elves eyes should have reverted back to their natural colors. the devs have hinted at giving more customization options for the core races. im hoping for an eye color wheel and tattoos, its 2019 this needs to be done already not just for new ARs

I think people have explained to you multiple times how living as expats on another cosmopolitan kingdom for 2 decades changes your culture. Or how living on a secluded lodge also starts creating it’s own culture in time.

but how and into what? no one ever elabs on this

the devs and even Bellular, the most popular wow youtuber, state high elf lore is the exact same as the blood elf lore. you still havent disproven this. the only thing you can come up with is how they deal with magic withdrawal. which doesnt even matter anymore now that the sunwell is back

[Bladinas-scarlet-crusade]

There isn’t any point in debating with you- we give you evidence and you toss it aside.

Just move along folks.

[Fyrebusche-kiljaeden]

And yet no blood elves have similar tattoos. Almost like it’s no longer part of the Culture. Kind of like male void elves getting facial hair customization instead of blood elves. That must hurt.

if youre talking about in the game. the customization options from 13 years ago was very limited. they talked about going back and giving the core races new customization options recently

@Bladinas
I’m not sure if you added them yet but there’s a High Elf named Ros’eleth in trueshoot lodge, there’s also Currier Larkspur

She was also at the Allerian Stronghold in Outland.

Yeah, they’re both added! Ros’eleth actually first appeared at the Allerian Stronghold, and as a Hunter it was pretty hard to miss Courier Larkspur.

She was also at the Allerian Stronghold in Outland.

Ah, ninja’d me!

LMAO, so many good points today. I’m starting to have more fun with this thread nowadays than ever before.

I think Alamara is just foreshadowing the future.

Alliance Players : ARAKKOA ALLIED RACE PLEASE :

Blizzard: WE’RE PROUD TO ANNOUNCE FALLEN ARAKKOA AS THE NEXT ALLIANCE ALLIED RACE:

[Callistus-wyrmrest-accord]

Yeah. I really like it when I check in at lunch and it’s just all of our brilliant posters dunking on Lydon.

We’ve got the 1992 US Olympic basketball team at this point. It’s a good time.

[Delusion-ravencrest (Delusion)]

Well, it’s a good thing that it’s a copy paste thing since the models are the same. But they still haven’t given male blood elves that glorious facial hair, have they?

[Fyrebusche-kiljaeden]

Well, it’s a good thing that it’s a copy paste thing since the models are the same

tbf, i dont play male elf so its fine

[Droodboy-area-52]

Alliance High Elves = Void Elves. Horde High Elves = Blood Elves–you know, the actual High Elves of Quel’thalas which still stands. Lorthemar is a High Elf. Kael’thas was a High Elf–he wanted to use the NAME Blood Elf to honour the High Elves that fell during the Scourge Invasion.

The Sunwell is purified and again consists of Arcane energy along with Holy. Blizzard needs to let Blood Elves change their eye colours to blue.

[Ooktarogar-area-52 (Ooktarogar)]

no. high elves should be alliance. there are high elves in the warfront arathi on the alliance ship.

[Anoranna-whisperwind (Anoranna)]

They can do that all they wan’t, no one here cares we will still ask for the High Elves that stayed with the Alliance regardless.
Your efforts are not anything any of us haven’t heard.

https://i.imgur.com/GkvoVNV.jpg Because charts are fun (right? >.>) I made up a chart. to sort of illustrate what my previous post talks about, because I think it’s important to get your head around. (also easy reference for future arguments) Basically the very nature of the Scourge invasion changed the course of High Elven society. This is due to a number of facts - Silvermoon being destroyed, the Sunwell being corrupted, Kael’Thas taking over leadership of the High Elves, Kael’Thas declaring…

My chart already comes in handy!

[Mowachassa-dalaran (Mowachassa)]

I’m curious to know what are those Thalassian Elves that are in the Alliance since the Second War all the way to today, they are curiously named “High Elves”, not Blood Elves, not Void Elves, “High Elves”, it’s weird because according to you they didn’t exist, but they are in the game for some reason.

[Bladinas-scarlet-crusade]

Its been a long day. Lets cut to the chase.

You’re wrong. Here’s a link. Read it. Educate yourself.

Also, nice Transmog.

That wasn’t sarcasm. It looks nice.

[Droodboy-area-52]

Yes, and the best way to do that is allow Void Elves to have normal skin colours. Problem solved.

itll happen

[Callistus-wyrmrest-accord]

Those would be Void Elves though.

We’re interested in High Elves.
