Whether we make it into any cutscenes or not doesn’t mean we are not there as part of the Horde army. Nightborne are regularly forgotten as existing post Legion. There’s a lot they just don’t explain or show and figure we don’t care enough to ask…
The argument that Void Elves can get this for being there but Nightborne shouldn’t is wrong. We were part of the Horde army. Thalyssra shoves us into Orgrimmar as soon as we became an allied race. You see nightborne in Horde armor running and training in Zul’dazar. We are there, just not front and center because we were kinda forgotten for awhile post Legion.
It really just makes no sense. They’ve obviously had the Dark Rangers of Sylvanas for a long time, and were foreshadowing Night Elf rangers during BFA. If anything, those two should have been the only ones to receive this customization since they were the only ones with buildup.
But it would have been fine too if they just gave the customization to all of the elves. Would Nightborne Dark Rangers have made sense? No, not really, but that puts them on the same level as Void Elf Dark Rangers. I can only assume they ported the options over to the Void Elves because it was as simple as ctrl + v while the Nightborne were too distinct to bother making custom skins for.
I don’t feel like you’re using that word correctly / much too freely.
People are allowed to value visual uniqueness.
People are allowed to prioritize what they feel is fair, for example Blood Elves lost visual uniqueness so an easy win by not immediately giving the options to VEs would have been appreciated.
People are allowed to value story aspects. VEs getting the options not only subjective to some as odd or unfair but also make no sense in that NEs could have and did get story for returning, and BE DRs.
It’s also in poor taste that 2 Alliance races now have access to a Horde sub group that only one Horde race has options for. It’s always “what does it matter what faction gets what” when it’s Horde losing something but that wasn’t the general consensus among HE fans who petitioned for BEs to lose visual uniqueness repeatedly.
Ah carry on. I would imagine most are surprised that VEs got the options and that Nightborne also didn’t. It’s not exactly something Blizzard built the Darkfallen story to reflect.
They’re not going to explain why there are Darkfallen Paladins either, but it’s w/e. Rule of cool and all that jazz.
I’m kind of jealous of the Night Elf dark rangers. I wish home girl killed and raised some Draenei now.
