So? Technically it’s one race if they say it is, it’s really a forest based animal parts modified night elf that instead can have a choice of it’s transformed form.
I think the lure is that it feels like having four races, but it’s only one. It’s like the druid class for races really. They kinda need to pull some true aces out of the hat for world of warcrat, and especially the alliance, the state is awful
Anyway, the horde isn’t left behind either
i feel those would be pretty exciting too.
See above. But also it’s disturbing if you keep thinking that if someone proposing something good for the alliance, it’s unfair because they haven’t mentioned something for the horde. I very much doubt people who suggest something good for an area or group they are focused in don’t mean the other group to have something. they are just not focused on that for their topic.
I always find it weird when people come against good suggestions from fans for whatever cause they are writing about, and go… "that’s unfair, what about “warriors” or what about “the alliance” or what about the horde - what about raids…? when the poor fan was just wanting to talk about what they liked. Those disruptors should go make topics about the things they want rather than drag the poor fan and quench their creative fire and enthusiasm just because the fan (not a developer) isn’t catering to all the other aspects of the game too in their topic.
Can’t expect people to make a suggestion for everyone when they have an idea for their group. And it just because they suggest something really cool, doesn’t mean that other races or classes or factions or parts of the game not mentioned won’t get something either.
Currently though, the alliance needs some really exciting stuff regardless of what the horde get, it’s really dying. We know that. It’s okay and necessary for them to get truly extraordinary stuff, and this is regardless of what the horde will get. Just because I don’t mention what the horde will get doesn’t mean i don’t want them to get something nor does it mean they won’t, it’s just not my area I’m dealing with here.
I don’t understand this either, it seems fan contrived, we have nightborne and void elves because they are the sub races for night elves and blood elves, every other race got one so far except Forsaken, worgen and Pandas, this idea will certainly fill the worgen sub race slot for sure, if they were human that would bring the human related race tally to 6 (stands at 5 atm)…but that’s irrelevant. Whether several races are elven, human or orcish each is treated as their own race. Not my place to fix those balance issues or suggest for the horde or forsaken (another human based race) what they should get just to appease a disgruntled horde fan replier sick of elves on a topic for alliance races.
I also don’t understand why people should be surprised if elves get more, they are the most popular races. and blood elves did not get more allied races than anyone else, nor did night elves, at least not yet. However if there popularity can be made to make races like Naga and beastmen more popular, then they should.
those who don’t like elves in this example can stay in beastman form or naga form and focus on the fantasy that is based on the naga or the beastman.
Technically beastman is a the worgen allied race, it’s more appropriate for this mechanic that the humanoid form is night elven based, and it would aid it’s popularity. Should it be human yet again when the concept is night elven based and we already have 5 human based races?. It’s okay for more races to have human, night elven, undead or orcish connections, they’re bigger races both in the lore and by popularity.
Secondly, this is the alliance, and they tend to like elves more - notice most of the elf haters are from the horde crowd and are often directed at the large amount of blood elves, alliance members are happy to have more elf based stuff.
Besides it doesn’t go by that, Naga are popular , and they are a night elf off shoot, that hasn’t stopped it’s popularity, some would hate them as they hate elves, that shouldn’t stop blizzard from doing something attractive or desired… just because it’s elven connection
That’s just silly fan prejudice…but it’s most prevalent on forums when people complain they don’t get attention, yet ignore all the changes they get, because the truth is, they’re likely just sick of hearing elf fans go on.
blizzard should focus on doing tings that are really good and popular… that will boos their game, I think these are, if you scrap them or change them because they are elf based to please a tiny disgruntled minority, you risk putting of and diminishing the attractive value to the vast majority who love this thing .
We have always had elf haters, and they will always come on posts like this and say elves have too much or some other excuse because they just hate you. That’s why other races exist, and we know blizzard has given stuff to other races, and humans and orcs, and undead Sylvanas are the pet favourites.
