Quel’dorei High Elves as an Alliance allied race - 2024 (Part 1)

Yeah and once again the fact you are complaining shows you don’t believe in your own argument.

You are STILL a Void Elf at the end of the day.

Probably not seeing as they don’t really have a strong tie in with either of the factions.

Blizzard did play around with the concept of a mongrel horde once, they’d be good fits there, with the exception of Vry’kul probably cause they’d be too prideful.

Actually sad for you though, being 40+ and acting like this still, Sylvare.

Hope you get better. Peace and love.

cheering you on right now

I’m voicing my opinion about negative consequences of introducing a playable race called High Elves to the game in general, as well as about the ideas regarding changes to Void Elves, a race I play, that pop up in this thread.

It’s not for a lack of belief, but allowing for compromise.

You already have the compromise.

Asking for more is not compromise, it is greed and it is selfishness.

But you said I’m just another Voidlight Everdawn a while ago.

Doesn’t sound like a good enough compromise to me.

nerd emoji react the post above me

That’s the compromise. You get to be a variant on the Alliance, not the real deal. You want the real deal? You go Horde.

Voidlight Everdawn proves that those customisations mean nothing as regards not being a Void Elf. The best you can roleplay is that the whispers got to you and you THINK you’re not a Void Elf.

Oh! Can we close the thread now then?

Ah, never mind.

I reckon there’d be plenty of Void Elf players who would love the option not to get a cheap inky-looking effect enveloping their whole character every 15 seconds of combat, as a choice.

Everyone wins. :wink:

They can play a Blood Elf.

But if you don’t get how profoundly selfish it is to try and argue Blizzard should gut the essence of an entire race simply so you can pretend, when there is already an option giving you exactly what you desire, then I really can’t help you on that.

Still waiting on those BFA corruption levels to get introduced through a toy or something

But it’s not exactly what I desire.

They’re Sin’dorei, not Quel’dorei.

They’re on Horde, not Alliance.

They have been on diverging paths since the end of Warcraft 3, it is very much not the same, hence why we’re here. And most of us are okay with compromising with the existing Void Elf model since it also gives Void Elves more options in the end.

Nobody loses anything.

Silvermoon won’t implode from an invasion of High Elven pilgrims with amazing hairstyles.

Eye color racism, always at the core of these threads

What you desire is to either take a core Horde race or ruin the Void Elf fantasy to rewrite the lore of the story to match your own absolutist headcanon.

Happily there has been no movement on this for the better part of a decade and if they were ever going to do it, they would have done it now, so…enjoy classic+ perhaps?

We’ll see! Fingers crossed, either way.

Maybe we’ll come for your Blood Elven hairstyles in the end, too, then you can actually call it a theft. I’d appreciate not having greasy hair all the time. :3

We’ve already seen.

So long as your nameplate says Void Elf, you’ll never be what you want.,

That line has long been crossed courtesy of the addition of Void Elves. Ever since they’ve been added, there’s a slew of salty BElf RPers both in-game and on media bemoaning how the VElves have cannibalized the space-faring, profane-magic casting vibes of TBC, as well as having killed their RP community (lol?). Now moreso than ever with Midnight’s portrayal of Silvermoon’s stance on magic and how the VElves are formed from Sunfury veterans.

In regards to merged customizations, High Elven NPCs in TWW are making use of both VElf and BElf hairstyles and eye colours (some have gold). It’s an inconsistent portrayal. Based off of that, I don’t understand how hairstyle is intrinsically connected to VElves any longer.
