Tyrande should sound more harsh. The Night Elves are supposed to be a warrior race, and I hate that WoW makes them looks like a bunch of hippies most of the time.

19394

Few races have been done more disservice than Night Elves. Glad to see they’re finally baring their fangs. Guess if you burn the tree the hippies can’t tree hug anymore?

19395

And after their friends won’t help them reclaim their lands

19396

Blizzard haven’t done Night elves right in at least 16 years.

19397

They’re trying I guess.

I don’t even play a Night Elf anymore and I’m still completely annoyed that the iconic Sentinel three point glaive is a Demon Hunter only weapon, when Night Elves were the OG Demon Hunters and were never shown to use the weapon, much less the absurd look of two.

I also found it weird that they are male sentinels, I always thought that only females could become sentinels but I guess they are becoming more progressive

Honestly, if I was game director for a day, I’d probably just tell everyone to drop everything and go play through RoC and TFT.

Eh. Tyrande obviously has a fair complaint. But it’s not like Anduin doesn’t want to help. All of his dudes are in:

Well. Theoretically all the male night elves were druids and were asleep the whole time and the females were awake and sentinels.

But, obviously a male Kal’dorei can play more than just a Druid, so changes were made.

So apparently the EU forums have their own version of our thread, sitting around 7k posts atm. I find it interesting to read through their responses as well.

I’m surprised it’s not higher, given they are a lot more EU Alliance players than NA Alliance players

19406

Oh cool! Good to know.

IKR? I felt it needed more exposure.

19408

They say the last thread capped at 2k posts.

It’s possible they just didn’t have a consolidation like we did.

19409

I skimmed through their forum, apparently it’s also the EU’s biggest forum. I guess they just don’t talk has much has we do.

If I had an EU character, I’d point them our way to let them know they aren’t alone, and have much more “conversation” over here

Night Elves and the Horde got screwed over by the arbitrary dual faction conflict in WoW.

The Night Elves were turned into budget High Elves and the Undead essentially took over what it means to be part of the Horde.

19411

I think the Forsaken joined the horde so the Horde would have a presence in EK and not make all of lordaeron just one big hostile undead place.

19412

Yeah it’s rather evident why they merged the factions. It was for meta reasons.
