The Unofficial High Elf Discussion Megathread

Callistus-wyrmrest-accord · April 7, 2019, 3:29am

No way around that.

Callistus-wyrmrest-accord · April 7, 2019, 3:30am

Anybody got the link to the photo album with all the pictures of High Elves in it?

Celekolnir-moon-guard · April 7, 2019, 3:30am

Guys, you should really wait for the people from ‘Legacy of the Quel’dorei’ to decide. They’ve been playing the most important part in this role.

Bloodfall-blackwater-raiders · April 7, 2019, 3:30am

ALSO

In the new thread they should add pictures for

Customization Options
Racial Mount
Racial Abilities
Heritage Armor
Beginning Zone

and of course the wall of text explaining the counters of the antis

I posted it yes, but I wasn’t it’s only creator. It was a collaboration with people in the Discord.

If y’all want to make the thread lemme know, so I dont have to organise people to help out with the new one xD.

Also, if y’all want to help with the collaboration, you’re free to join if you guys want to do it that way.

Bladinas-scarlet-crusade · April 7, 2019, 3:32am

Here it is, but as I can’t post images I had to modify it a bit.

Conorn-dreadmaul · April 7, 2019, 3:34am

Void Elves are valued members of the Alliance. Plus they’re more artistically, narratively and mechanically interesting than High Elves.

Celekolnir-moon-guard · April 7, 2019, 3:37am

Lmao. Try going to the Cathedral on your Void Elf.

Bloodfall-blackwater-raiders · April 7, 2019, 3:37am

We really gonna do this? Now? Can’t you be patient and wait for the new thread at least so we can communicate each other on this? Despite having similar interests and talking with each other we aren’t friends and can’t communicate with each other somewhere else (at least I’m not)

Lydon-emerald-dream · April 7, 2019, 3:38am

I found the guy posting phone links.

Also, kinda surprised you put your least favorite Q&A in there.

Drede-cairne · April 7, 2019, 3:40am

Though I appreciate all the nominations I am currently not in a good time or place in my life to dedicate as much time or effort that the thread needs.

Maybe in 3 or so months…

My suggestion is an OP that simple and to the point with an FHQ. Followed by a wikie post of fan art.

Casmir-barthilas · April 7, 2019, 3:40am

When it comes to the new thread, there just has to be the communication with regards to what’s happening .

So if someone wants to take over, please just communicate that across. Just so we know what’s up - particularly for those of us who made this one.

Lydon-emerald-dream · April 7, 2019, 3:42am

I nominate “High Elf Megathread: Speculation, Discussion & Fanart” as the title.

Drop the word Unofficial and get to the point. Everything players post on the forums is unofficial.

Casmir-barthilas · April 7, 2019, 3:43am

I actually like that. Thanks for the suggestion Lydon!

Bladinas-scarlet-crusade · April 7, 2019, 3:43am

I’m certainly no leader. I’m not volunteering for that. I’m happy to do grunt work.

If someone wants to take charge… I’m all for it. You did a pretty good job last time.

Callistus-wyrmrest-accord · April 7, 2019, 3:43am

It’s pertinent. It’s the most misrepresented quotation on the forums.

“So, umm, basically Blood Elves kind of Are High Elves with slightly different eye color, different backstory in terms with their relationship with magic and the sunwell, but they are, if what you want to beis a fair skinned, light blonde haired, tall, majestic elf, that is a blood elf. And giving that race directly to the Alliance, I think, would have blurred alot of the lines between the two factions, but also there isn’t a clear example of who or what High Elves are as a larger group that still remains in azeroth. There is a couple, we just met Alleria again for the first time, but they aren’t out there in the same way. So we’re looking to, when we add allied races, there is a desire to have things be a bit more distinct, especially between the two factions with the faction conflict being so prominent, so the void elf angle as it tied into the story of argus and the powers of Alleria awakened and was able to train others to harness I think was able to give something that felt a bit like a blood elf but had a unique flavor of its own to the Alliance. That said, obviously understand if you love alliance, you’re an alliance player and you just want to be a fair skinned, light haired, blue eyed elf, sorry? the horde is there waiting for you. Eye color is not quite the same but maybe there will be contact lenses in the future, we never know. Anything is possible in the future, but no plans in the near term to add High Elves as an Allied Race. I’m sorry, I accept all of the hate mail that I’m about to get for this. But that’s where we stand.”

Turns into:

“Ion said no!”
“Ion said Blood Elves are High Elves!”

Also, dude seriously underestimated the volume of hate mail he was gonna get for that.

Drede-cairne · April 7, 2019, 3:44am

Megathread literally translates to allincompsing thread.

So “High Elf Allied Race Magathread” should be enough.

Lydon-emerald-dream · April 7, 2019, 3:45am

I wouldn’t use Allied Race in the title personally. I think most people know that’s implied in the megathread. Who knows if Blizz will keep that moniker down the line.

But I mean, it ain’t my thread, so whatever you want to do.

Callistus-wyrmrest-accord · April 7, 2019, 3:46am

I think it’s good…

We’ll fill that one up before BFA is done anyways.
