Alliance elves > Horde elves

Community General Discussion

I know someone will write ‘‘As it should be’’ and ‘‘Elves don’t belong in the Horde’’, but let’s be real, Horde has become Red Alliance at this point.

Now to the point.
In my opinion Alliance nowdays has the same variaty of elves as Horde, but with bonuses, and still they ask for more (Blood elf hair colors and paladins for Void elves)…

Alliance Night elf:
You want to be a Highborne Night elf (basicly Nightborne), sure just make your Night elf look as basic as possible and pick mage - voila, you are a Highborne/Nightborne.

BUT if you are Alliance you get a bonus, with new Shadowlands customisation you can also chose to be a Savage/wood type of elf like the Night elves are supposed to be AND you can also be something new to the lore (Night Warrior).

Horde Nightborne - seriously do I need to even write anything here? Lackluster copy of a decent looking Legion variant with Night elf skeleton. So yeah Alliance wins here.

Alliance Void/High elf:
Now I know Blizz kinda messed Alliance up here because nobody asked for this variant of Void elfs, but with a lot of QQ Alliance actually got Blood elf skins and blue eyes for Void elves. So basicly you now have Blood elves on Alliance + void variants if you are into tenticles

Horde Blood elf:
Samo old Blood elves that can now have yellow eyes and some jewelry nobody cares about… Seriously Blizzard atleast give Blood elfs some San’leyn or Fellblood elf customisation to make them more unique…

Thoughts?

As someone who owns many Blood elves (mostly cause they look good in transmog) I will agree a undead skin tone with red eyes (similar to the Night Warrior skin) given to Blood elves would be amazing.

As for Void elves they do look cool, but let’s be honest… the hair colors are not that good. Why create a Gothy race with no black hair? However yes, they are very cool. I like them. And now that they have Natural skin the Alliance feels like the old Alliance again.

Just because a few people ask for it, doesn’t mean it’s going to happen.

People have been asking for Undead Paladins too.

As for Night elves, they always had the Highborne option ever since Cataclysm when classes was introduced to many races.

Nightborne, yeah they still haven’t gotten their turn in customizations.
Although to be fair they need more than just customization, they need a rework.

Which elves are “better” is subjective.
If you like Helves/gothy styles than you may like Void elves. If you like Blonde Barbie elves and Quel’thelas lore, then you may like Blood elves.
If you like Nature/moon people, then you may like Night elves. If you like Arcane/ wine drinking people then you may like Nightborne.

You have no understanding of the Highborne I see little furry.

Highborne means Child of Noble Birth.

None of the Alliance elves have nobility.

If you think if a Night elf picks a mage class and becomes a Highborne you are wrong. They become Arcane practicing mage Nightelf but nothing more.

The Nightborne and Blood elves have 1000 times more right to be called Highborn than any Alliance elf race.

Get things right, they are not better than us.

Yes Allying with Zug Zugs and Savage trolls and living in Ogrimmar as a Horde capital city is very Noble. :face_with_hand_over_mouth:

Real meaning what?

The Horde have the elves who were the rulers of the Azeroth 10,000 years ago.

The Horde has the elven race, which kept the culture of the Acient Highborn Culture, which modern Kaldorei have lost.

The Horde has the elven race which literally uses the magic as their weapons.

Tell me which elven race of WoW, have mastered the Arcane magic in that level?

Yes, the Shal’dorei.

We have asked to join the Alliance, your Tyrande has trust issues with the Highborne. We have allied ourselves with the Sin’dorei, not with zug-zugs.

You are calling the Horde races savage, yet haven’t seen your own kin.

One race have grown as savage as trolls that lurks in their forests, one have embraced the whispers of the Old gods.

The Sin’dorei have Silvermoon and Quel’thalas, the Nightborne have the Highborn city Suramar.

What have you gotten?

Oh sorry I have forgotten, your precious tree have burnt down, and another one lives in on the flying rocks with no proper building :slight_smile:

None of your elves have a city :slight_smile:

You are noble in your words, not in the actions.

Lowborns.

Showing me the quote from the 15 years old? When the Horde was indeed “savage”?

I might have least number of the customizations, but I still look better than you.

You are wrong. Highborne are now part of Night elf society. Google Shen’dralar

I am not a critter. I am goblin in a costume.

Not all Shen’dralar have joined the Alliance, many of them are still neutral to the Horde and to the Alliance.

There were not 1 Highborne societies, 10,000 years ago.

There were many Highborne societies.

Zin’azshari
Suramar
Eldre’Thalas

and many more.

The texts were not updated, it is same as it was 15 years ago.

18

Yes, there are now Highborne in both Alliance and the Horde.
The problem is Horde can only play Highborne elves, while the Alliance has so many other choices (Wood/Void elf, Night Warrior)…

It was not updated because its still relevant :nail_care:

Who cares about those lowborn elves?

They have lost their identity, and most importantly their pride.
