Seems like the sort of thing a community manager could handle - oh wait.
I agree entirely. If they had someone who could answer questions, even partly, that the players have and bring up things we’d like to see, so they can be maybe implemented, things would probably be at least a little less chaotic.
Instead we fumble with ideas of how to make the things we want work knowing full well our posts here mean little, often using obscure bits of contradictory lore, if not just purely unclear lore, and work with numbers and data unchanged since TBC.
It’s no wonder we often run in circles in these threads.
I mean doesn’t it mean the Silver Covenant have to not only become void masters before they do anything, but then they have to hunt and consume naaru in numbers around the low hundreds?
While being less than level 20?
She also refers to herself as Ren’dorei in the intro quest for new velfs.
Only Horde has playable Highborne (the Alliance has a small handful of unplayable Highborne) and the Alliance has a very small number of playable Thalassian elves. While the Horde has entire nations of Highborne and Thalassians with thriving cities.
I went over this. They can likely use lesser void creatures given their new home. I even postulate that this is what turns them blurple instead of keeping them fair skinned.
I have a wonderful idea about how the horde can get the remnants of Alterac’s people.
Then it’s likely not the same as what Alleria did, is it?
Also, she consumed the Naaru at the end of her training, which had been going on for decades, likely centuries. Void elves start at level 20. They’re not a hero class.
And if that ever happens then maybe humans wouldn’t be an Alliance thing.
Again we went over this. The last post I made is the better one. But I suppose ultimately you’re right enough.
And the whole of Azeroth minus goblins and worgen figured out how to be monks in a day. Wows spotty on time. Also if I remember right Alleria learned from him during an escape from the legion mostly then got locked up until we find the Army of the Light on Argus.
The how is less important though. Idea is to end the Alliance High Elves.
They learnt to be level 1 monks. What they didn’t learn is how to consume void creatures like Dunkaroos without losing their sanity. The only two characters ever shown to be able to do that in the setting are Alleria and the PC shadow priest.
We’ve all seen what just a hint of void corruption did to us this patch with N’zoth being able to talk into our brains. Consuming a void creature is even more radical than that.
As I said, the how is less important. This way the Alliance High Elves get rolled into the Void Elves. As above they end up getting some lighter skintones but not human skintones. Also gives an excuse to make sure they’d have the Farstrider tattoos.
Only thing that would still be in the craw of High Elf fans is the lack of Paladin class.
In either case if there is no more High Elves and only Void Elves the arguments all end.
Would help if Blizzard actually stops using them in our war campaigns.
And that’s enough to dismiss the idea entirely. Why should we have to accept this when they specifically wrote Paladins out of Zandalari culture and then went back on it anyway?
Are you comparing a race that’s had paladins since vanilla (and no, they never wrote the prelates out, they said only a handful of them kept their powers) to a race that literally has ‘void’ in the name not getting paladins?
No, I’m comparing writing a class (Paladins) out of two races, High Elves and Zandalari. I get it, you guys have a hard-on for ruining the High Elves by turning them into more sparkle vampires, but I don’t share your fetish.
To quote Bill Shakespeare, “so, what?”. Never mind that there’s no reason for the larger group (High Elves) to take the smaller one’s name (Void Elves) in a merger, regardless of circumstances, literally what’s in a name. Did they prohibit Blood Elves from training First Aid or Tailoring?
I don’t know what to tell you, man. They literally sparkle and have Dracula’s hairline. They’re also named after a character from Disney’s terrible Star Wars sequels. The perfect race for shallow millennials who glorify toxic relationships.
The issue I have with void elves is that they did not follow the Alleria model. The Alleria being that they transform when in combat or at will into their void forms. How it should have been done is that they should have been given their Corporeal forms (regular flesh tones) out of combat, and added in hints of void corruption. I.E. tattoos, voided eyes, and maybe voided hair tips. Also should have been a selectable level of those “void” effects, for those whom are sensitive to their character randomly wigging out in void.
Would never be done because the appearance is exactly like the blood elves until you’re in combat. That is why they didnt give VE the look. I am sure ALleria was the initial design, but they figured the looks was too similar to blood elves, and the shifting was too similar to worgen.
