🦄 High Elves will be playable by the end of Midnight

[Amora-argent-dawn]

I think you deeply misunderstood what those people said.

[Numriel-die-aldor]

They want SIlvermoon to become neutral cuz high elf fans would feel bad if Quel’thalas sided a war aganinst their faction again. I understood that correctly.

[Amora-argent-dawn]

Can you show me the context of that? Because I’ve seen the discussions and none of them say that.

[Numriel-die-aldor]

Lmao I am done with this thread. Its like arguing against a brick wall. Bye.

As I expected.

@Kiryanor-grim-batol

And apparently they will be able. However that’s not tied to their part in the Alliance. There’s more than enough logic that suggest that if they do they will have to agree to NOT act against the Horde though they will likely not be drafted to fight against alliance should a new conflict ever come out.

We’ll see how it pans out.

@Sander-defias-brotherhood

But if we are measuring digital peckers, where is my Forsaken version of the nelf town in the Dragon Isles, that comes with a long quest line? I mean if we are being fair.

You got the equivalent of Bel’ameth, honestly.
A few tents and such on top of the courtyard and ruins of the Lordaeron. That’s pretty much equal to a couple of huts around a tree.

Alliance isn’t welcome there though, so I guess it’s not equal after all.

But hey; I’d like ALL the capitals to be updated and pimped out, if that makes you feel any better. I’d love an actual big sprawling Thunderbluff; that could be a magnificent sight. I’d also love a Stormwind that’s at the very least as immersive and large as Boralus.

[Sander-defias-brotherhood]

Yeah, about the response I expected from you. A few tents is equal to spendin half the expansion building up a city from the ground for the nelfs. Allianceboi logic at it’s best.

[Skullfox-argent-dawn]

bel’ameth is not a city and il fight anyone who says it is.. its a tree with two houses around it.

If I was a night elf fan id literally riot if this giant christmas tree where my replacement for darnassus and teldrassil.

@Skullfox-argent-dawn

Bel’ameth is the city.

The Tree is Amirdrassil.

[Skullfox-argent-dawn]

@Amora-argent-dawn

Bel’ameth is the city.

2-3 houses is not a city -.-

[Amora-argent-dawn]

Don’t be fooled by ingame structures.

But we can call it settlement, if you’d like.

[Skullfox-argent-dawn]

yeah a settlement. Also the night elves homeland currently are the Darkshores. Mount hyjial and ashenvale. But their new capital city is supposed to be on the other side of the world dragon isles? Are they just packing up and leaving kalimdor behind or something?

I get that the new world tree is there. But for an entire race to pack up and leave their ancestral homeland for it is.. Yeah.. idk

[Amora-argent-dawn]

I really dislike that they placed it on the Dragon Isles, but I guess they did it for gameplay purposes and then just made it fit the lore.

I hope we get to go back to Ashenvale on a grander scale at some point.
But we know that the other elven settlements are protected and thought about at least:

“Tyrande declared that night elf settlements like Bel’ameth, Hyjal, Val’sharah, Ashenvale, Darkshore, Feralas, and Felwood would be protected as sacred homes. She stated that the night elves would protect these places forever and would eventually return to rebuild Teldrassil once Darkshore had healed”

@Sander-defias-brotherhood

Yeah, about the response I expected from you. A few tents is equal to spendin half the expansion building up a city from the ground for the nelfs. Allianceboi logic at it’s best.

No need to be hostile. I’m not anyone’s ‘boi’ thank you very much.

‘spending half the expansion building up a city from the ground’ is just hyperbole.
Stick to the facts please. The fact is: Bel’Ameth is a very very poor substitution for the capital that the night elves lost. It’s not a replacement, it’s a refugee camp more than anything. And yes, the forsaken have a poor replacement at the moment as well. I’m not denying that. Things aren’t equal in terms of what each faction is getting. It is what it is.

PS: You’re ignoring the last bit of my reply. But I guess that’s not something you can rage over?

[Kaeros-dentarg]

@Amora-argent-dawn

I reckon it’ll be the same for Silvermoon. Any Alliance will be met with suspicion and closed doors, but they won’t be forcibly removed except for the areas that are strictly Horde-only now, which will likely extend post-expansion, for security purposes.

Except they are only present in the city because of the emergency with the void and the Blood Elves clearly don’t like them being there. And the NPCs even say that presence isn’t permanent. Narratively, it should revert to the status quo ante post Midnight. You’ve no other justification for believing otherwise other than wishful thinking.

[Sander-defias-brotherhood]

Whatever. But it could have been a great city if people didn’t start spazzing out over it. Blizzard was probably gonna keep building it up stage by stage and that made it truly unique next to other cities. Reflecting the development of nelfs thus far. And as far as I’m concerned it’s miles better than that pink stump with 2004 textures.

[Sander-defias-brotherhood]

I’m ignoring it cause it’s something I could really rage over. Because that’s exactly why I couldn’t stand this crap with Silvermoon. We could have had an Alliance AND a Horde city brought up to modern levels. But the general census across these forums and the US ones was that Silvermoon should be the expansion hub. But that was back when you believed it was gonna go neutral.

[Amora-argent-dawn]

@Kaeros-dentarg

@Kaeros-dentarg

Maybe you’re the one who’s practicing wishful thinking by assuming it will revert. Especially when we know how the well situation turns out.

Any examples of discomfort/hostility is prior to that outcome, no?

[Kiryanor-grim-batol]

@Amora-argent-dawn

Maybe you’re the one who’s practicing wishful thinking by assuming it will revert. Especially when we know how the well situation turns out.

And it turns out to not be requiring the Army of Light.

Also from non story perspective we just need to take a look at the aesthetics and designs of the New Silvermoon to see the answer. Even in the Shared zones it’s full of Horde Iconography and nothing suggesting Alliance sympathies or Neutrality. The sheer fact that there’s a portion of the city where the Alliance are forbidden to enter without there being an equivalent for the alliance is telling where Silvermoon stands.

[Amora-argent-dawn]

@Kiryanor-grim-batol

suggesting Alliance sympathies or Neutrality.

This wasn’t the point.

The point is whether the city will revert to how it was before, and there’s a lot pointing to that it won’t.
