No new city for Night elves - Bel'Ameth the Capital village

You do realize that this kind of playground theatrics is exactly why Alliance players don’t want Horde wandering around Bel’Ameth, right?

Also, please take that kind of stuff to the RP-forum.

I think general acceptance has to be made.

Silvermoon going neutral in Midnight all but confirmed that the new Night Elf location was also going neutral. Blood Elves and Night Elves are just in the same pot of stew now - if one of there’s is going neutral, then the other will as well.

Personally, this is why I’m so against Horde and Alliance locations going neutral because I saw plenty of demands for Silvermoon to be neutral; yet no compromise on the Alliance side and Blizzard won’t work like that. It will always be an even split.
I think the lunatic fringe part of the high elf fanbase are actually to blame for all of this “neutral” stuff.

OUTRAGEOUS

Good. Cause maybe then they’ll make it clear to Blizzard that we don’t want to kiss and make up.

It’s not about being buddies or not, it’s just that nelf funs behave very funny and are easy to provoke.

We’re in agreement over that, great, maybe Blizz will even notice (Probably not), but let’s stop being jerks to each other over it.

i’m sure we will share a bonfire and sing songs like one happy dysfuctional elven family :smiley:

sorry for torching your tree but in my defense i was offered a mount and some gold for it sorta like that time i helped teron gorefiend out for gold too … come to think of it have a bad track record with this things

There. Fixed that for you.

If Silvermoon is going neutral, there’s a chance that it will be the capital, not only for blood elves, but also for high elves and void elves, right ?

See, you are so funny, you even edited my post.

Possibly.

It’s not the route I would have chosen as I believe High Elves could have been made better with a restored Shan’daral in the the Crystalsong Forest; however, we are where we are.

We also have to think of the Sin’dorei scattered groups as well. It’s not just about High Elves and Void Elves.

We have:

  1. Darkfallen Quel/Sin’dorei whom are currently located in Lordaeron. Velonara and Lorash to name two specifically.
  2. The Illidari Blood Elves under Kayn Sunfury and Allari the Soulbinder. Knowledge of darker magics can’t be bad.
  3. The Scryer Blood Elves under Voren’thal the Seer - his group of Blood Elves were considered some of the most powerful Arcanists within the Sunfury. Them returning to Silvermoon will give a great boon to Silvermoon.
  4. Sunreaver Blood Elves - a lot of them returned to Dalaran. As much as I hate Aethas, he’s still part of this.

So we do have a lot to look at here.

Why would it be the capital of a race that is on an opposing faction? That’s like saying the Nelf tree should be the capital of nightbourne.

Because it’s quite obvious where the direction for Silvermoon is going.

I don’t like it…I’m not turning cartwheels for it, but I have to accept that neutral Silvermoon is 99% going to happen - especially with Bel’ameth being neutral.

Well don’t be so sure. The crap we are seeing today the stuff with the nelf city which got me doing something I never thought I’d do - feel bad for nelfs - this is part of the Activision pile of crap. You might see the story heading into a new direction, or rather adjust direction.

I’ll believe it when I see it.

For now, Blood Elves and Night Elves are just two races thrown in the same stew pot. When something happens to one, the same will happen to the other (neutral cities.)

It’s funny. I don’t know of nelfs got dragged into this because I don’t know anyone in the Horde who wanted to be a Horde nelfs as opposed to the ones who wanted to be Alliance belfs.

Because like Kaiine said

And

And since high elves and void elves doesn’t have any capital right now (Telogrus rift is not a city), and they are related to Silvermoon, I think there’s a chance for them to take place here.

I do hope so really. And this is an understatement. I hope Metzen will make the My Little Pony club deeply frustrated and feel as irrelevant and meaningless as their attempts of lore made players feel. I hope that the trilogy will take place years and years after actual Dragonflight with the Horde having indeed made the high priestess regret her decision. Some notorious mocking birds in the forum have already proven it to be a regrettable decision anyways to let the Horde roam Bel’ameth with their axe and bonfire jokes. I hope that this ridiculous “we are family” nonsense will end like it always did in the past. Being a fragile alliance that did not pass the test of time in the long run. Each and every lore-wise too impactful apprentice fantasy being erased by being a thing of the past that doesn’t matter anymore. Could b that we were just in a horrible vision of N’Zoth or a wrong timeline we created by making one horrible mistake in the past, e.g. killing a certain character. That would be a fantastic start into the trilogy.

I doubt that will happen, with cross-faction guilds, i think the “We’re all friends” is here to stay.

Some keyboard warriors and their school playground “jokes” aren’t canon, all the faction leaders having a cosy picnic under Amirdrassil on the other hand, is an official part of the story.

As for “Midnight”, of course we’ll all be operating from Silvermoon, or in case that gets covered in void-puke (To raise the stakes, got to make the baddie seem powerful!) whatever other settlement we get, cross-faction guilds are the point of no return, and we’re racing right at it.

Announced story in future is also a new battle ground and more focus on making rated pvp / pvp in general more accessible and open to solo players. So that could also be taken as a hint to give it more weight again content wise.

Moreover is the warning that the welcoming vibe around Bel’ameth could change due to inappropriate behaviour by the horde also in the story. Uniting the elven tribes is one thing. Uniting factions is another. The controversies around elven factions joining the horde not to make sense is valid and a matter that needs to be dealt with for sure. But then again you have some relations and rifts between other factions that can’t be that easily overlooked. As it has been stated numerous times before, forsaken dancing hand in hand with each and every single living is more than unlikely. Can’t help but think about the incident at Wrathgate, where they pretty much turned against their own faction even killing horde and alliance represents alike and showing how unpredictable they can be.

Cross faction content itself is not the issue and it can have its place within the story without rendering faction wars completely irrelevant. I don’t think the godfather of “for the horde” will run the ship without trying to bring some balance into these both aspects of the game. Or at least I hope so.
