I don’t think you really understand what solutions we’ve tried to provide. It is more that you just don’t like them because you insist on Blizz completely rehashing High Elves so they can be given to us as an entirely new race with unique customizations and whatnot.
This, despite the fact that the High Elf customizations our Void Elves were given makes them look NO different from that of your typical Helven NPC in the game. Your videos and pictures ain’t proving otherwise
…Hmm well that could work. With arcane that is. I don’t think light would work because that probably would steal blood elves theme that is now all about the light. But both high elves and blood elves do have a magic theme so that would work. hmm possibly arcane and ice magic. While blood elves is more fire and now light.
Im tired of compromise. Alliance have always gotten compromise for the past 17 years.
And Blizzard could given the alliance high elves slightly different model. Different hairstyles that is still elvish yet different from blood elves and tattoos that is different from blood elves farstrider and arcane tattoes. Look at the Nightborne, they different model then night elves altough the male Nightborne have same animations like the male night elves and should change. But when they put armor on and cover the head with a Hood or Helmet. the Nightborne “can” be mistaken as Night elves. They also have their ears curved at a different angle. And they are skinner than Night elves because they depended on the Nightwell as nurturment to survive so they basicly starved themshelves.
So too they could have done for the Alliance high elves. Same but slightly different.
Because there’ is the only one solution, playable Silver Covenant high elves.
There’s only 1 customization option for void elf female to look almost like a high elf but that’s just all. Rest are nothing but void elf customizations.
And above all that’s so rich coming from lightforged draenei that are exactly copies of draenei. So why you playing lightforged not draenei, they are exactly same ?
And the exact same thing could be said about the Void Elf high elven customizations - they are exact copies from existing races, High Elf NPCs and the playable Blood Elves.
I fail to see your point.
The Lightforged ain’t meant to be its own, new race separated from the base Draenei. They are just Draenei infused with the Light, which works very differently to a race that is infused with the Void, just because of the nature of the two forces and how they work.
The nature of the Ren’dorei changed when the void became part of them. Even their blood is purple, I believe it is stated under notes and trivia.
Whereas Lightforged Draenei have normal Draenei offspring, as we can see aboard the Vindicaar vessel. So they are not entirely changed and definitely not so to the same degree Void Elves are changed.
That said, Void Elves are still considered Thalassian elves, and are, thus, related to the Blood Elves and High Elves, but as a separate species, while Blood elves and High elves are really the same species, only with different cultures and motifs.
However, again, I fail to see how this is relevant. This just seems like derailing for the sake of derailing to me.
I think we can all agree the hole void and light can’t mix without blowing themselves up is not true anymore (a lie told by the titans most likely). Because Lightforged draenai could not be able to use void as shadow priests if they are “lightforged”. Same with void elves using light. Or for that infact priests now can use both light and void and mix it up since legion and the cosmos don’t blow up. Or that paladins and priests able to use the light in N-zoth’s realm which is a realm of the void.
There is a difference between gameplay and lore, though. That must be taken into account as well.
It is the same with Forsaken priests. Yeah, you can play all specs as a Forsaken priest, but lorewise, it wouldn’t make much sense for your typical Undead to use the Light, as it hurts them.
Same way that it would most likely hurt a Lightforged Draenei to use the void, lorewise. Blizz ain’t going to give a class to a race and then disable a spec just because there are disagreements between gameplay and lore. There would be outrage at that.
I think the relationship between the Light and Void only become volatile if they attempt to fuse. I mean, the universe Azeroth is part of literally got exploded into existence because of the Light and Void being the two primordial forces that clashed into one another. Mixing together The Void and The Light is different to using the forces in opposition to each other with the intent to cause harm.
It is an ironic interlinkage between the two. They rely on each other for reality to be a thing, but they can’t ever become one.
That is, at least, what we have from any lore we’ve been given so far. Blizz still have a job to do in terms of fleshing out stuff more.
Well If you think about it. A Lightforged Draenai in N-zoth realm that is a void realm. That Draenai would be a ticking bomb right? Or Like Nobody would want a paladin or light priest be part of a the group because if they use the light inside a void realm they kill the entire group. Same with void elves should been able to handle the void powers in N-zoth realm but they couldn’t…why?? They learned how to control the void they should be able to handle the void better than all the other races but they didn’t. And were was Umbric and his followers, It would have been the perfect time for them to help out both Horde and Alliance against N-zoth. So the lore about the Light and void don’t add up anymore.
You’re a fool if you think they’ll ever be met. You’ve been crying about it for two years and still no playable High Elves in sight. They’ll never be added, suck it up and move on
I think the lore surrounding this subject is too inadequate that we can actually make any conclusions. There are some things Blizzard really need to clarify when it comes recent lore additions.
Agreed. Maybe in 10.0 they might try to explain it. It could be because of all the retcons over the years, the lore of warcraft makes no sense anymore.
And you got the ability to play a belf in the Alliance, just not the name high elf but pretty much everything else. After that it’s just the same bunch of people boosting this thread non stop. You people were annoying back then, but today I think you are legit insane.
10.0 has nothing to do with the Light or Void so there won’t be any additional information about these energies.
Alonsus Faol has no problem using the Light as a holy priest. Forsaken using the Light stopped being a problem in the lore a long time ago.
It should be nearly impossible for a Lightforged creature to use the Void, the same way it clearly is for Void Elves to use the Light. Turalyon and Alleria can’t touch each other without it being painful for the both of them, him using the Void and her using the Light would either be impossible or cause serious damage.
Not from what we know. Calia is a very special case, Faol is just your regular undead. He kept believing firmly in the Light even through his condition, which doesn’t stop other undead priests to do the same.
Another aspect of the lore that is blurry only because Blizz fail at confirming anything. I don’t feel like what we have and can see in the game really offers the sort of clarification that can help us conclude anything either way.
