Blood elves was never horde
It does. You have your own elves. Blizzard is Not getting all pretty people on one side only. Those tropes are dead for good. May tolkiens vision of fantasy lay 6 feet under forever.
It was. 17 years now. Get over it and move on.
You use to be better than this Erevien (or so I thought), what happened to you?
I realized some people are so extreme that arguments are pointless. The fact is Blizzard gave each side two elf races and there is no reason they gonna leave anytime soon.
I ve big one for you.
My dear Erevien, for justify Blood Elves in Horde, you re using the circular reasoning.
2007 for me they did a mistake, i argue by the past lore and logic chronology of what happened
High elves so blood was alway independant OR in the alliance.
2007 for you they did not a mistake, you justify blood elves in the horde by the blood elves in the horde. It’s like justify the bible by the bible. I doesnt work like that.
You can’t justify 10 by 10
you need to justify by 5+5 or 7+3 = 10
We, the other side, have plenty of argument, fact that blood elves shouldnt be in the horde.
You have nothing to justify BE in the horde without the retconing in 2007
Burning Crusade + Blood elves in the horde are B
You can’t justify and/or explain B by B.
No they didn’t- Just in Warcraft 2 and never again. Kael’thas realised this which is why he left.
So this is your opinion not that of the majority. I know enough RPers who are happy with this situation.
No you didn’t. You think only pretty people should be friends with the elves, mostly humans. You are afraid to look beyond outdated tropes which Blizzard was dared to break plenty of times before.
So? Why are you so afraid to see Horde and neutral races being friends with them? What are you or anyone losing by this?
19k Megathread topic about high elves on US forum
8k Megathread on EU forum
I think majorité of High Elve, RPer or Not, wanted to be in the alliance as blood elves in 2007
dont you think?
Or are you pretending that High Elves and Blood Elves are not the same race as NE and troll or NE and High elves
You must remember that
The Frozen Throne ← T-moment → 2007, Burning Crusade
During the T-moment Blood elves are ALL with Kael thas in Outland, there was a retconing in 2007 for sayin “they let some blood elves in silvermoon”
They were not in the horde and there was no reason to go in the horde
2007 : bam retconing + need a sexy race in the horde + meh just put elves in the horde
I ve absolutely no probleme to think about Elves with mh… beast race or someting and i m not a supporter of humans in the game.
Thrall is a cool guy with hippie mood so why not he can calm down and teach orcs etc
Tauren are very nice, wise, calme, closed to nature. No problems
BUT SERIOUSLY TROLLS AND UNDEADS!!!¨§§§§
Litteraly dead living bodies and savages animals.
On the same table with US, elves.
NO WAY
FORSAKEN ARE LITTERALY EX-SCOURGE, THE SAME WHO DESTROYED OUR LANDS
The actual lore guy inderstands that the story of Quel’thalas changed in TFT and see opportunity. It is not the blood elf fans fault that you are stuck in the Warcraft 2 alieration of the old alliance and unwilling to change. Also a good chunk of those topic are filled with people telling you “no” because Blizzard never supported that. Dalaran and Theramore are gone so you lose your last hub to play in. You might be a vocal minority but that never meant the rest of the fandom ever supported you. You want pretty blond people. I know of another group that wanted that and in history they are now viewed as evil
Here it is. Fantasy racism. It is always the same group next to MHPs.
Not the Amani mind you. Are all humans bad just because Gilneas told the world to get bent?
Those same Lordaeron humans you pretend to like as allies if it was Stormwind instead.
Vulpera, Dracthayr, Pandaren. None of those are bad in any way.
That was not a retcon just a heelturn. The retcon was making kael’thas evil.
Those same Lordaeron humans you pretend to like as allies if it was Stormwind instead.
They were ALIVE not UNDEAD
Alived humans were not the SCOURGE
FORSAKEN WAS THE SCOURGE
Vulpera, Dracthayr, Pandaren. None of those are bad in any way.
I said TROLLS and UNDEADS
UNDEADS = EX SCOURGE
TROLLS = THEY ATTACKED US FIRST WHEN WE JUST LAND ON QUEL THALAS
That’s an outrage
You tried to build your nation on land that belonged to someone else. History paint the europeans ad bad guys to this day for doing this to America mind you. There is the reasons the US government made some comrpomise with the native americans to basically grant them ethnostates on their territory so they can at least pretend to have learnt from the past. Your high elves still believe they are poor refugees. Which is bollocks. Tresspassers are not the victims.
I would advice you to play the surumar campaign, the lore you say that makes no sense is very clearly portrayed there and it shows you from A to Z why they chose the Horde
The hints start with the difference in horde and alliance speech bubbles for Tyrande and Liadrin respectively, where Tyrande seems to favour making the nightbourne civilians bleed for their own city before she commits her soldiers where-as Liadrin recognizes they are civilians and tells you the player character that they’re non combatants who should be protected
I know people say ‘it makes no sense because tyrande was born there’ like the city hadn’t sealed itself off for 10.000 years and developed a whole culture of its own inside of that bubble outside of the influence of Tyrande while ruled by what were technically the remnants of a highbourne civilization she already banished from Nelf lands
I did, i m exalted.
you re using circular reasoning.
justifying Nightborn relationship with NE by Legion.
Tyrande was born in Suramar.
No sense to be enemy between NE and Nightborn
Even if for magic use controversy NE are closer to nightborn than Horde.
it was just an opportunity to put another elve race in the horde, same skeleton than NE, just the pose is different
And yes… my dear @Erevien
you talk, other day, about human paladin with HE wives.
What to do you think about Lorthemar and is … girlfriend ?
isnt that an outrage? or just a simply woke-interacial opportunity to create a “couple”
I m pretty sure you gonna find a magic argument
Its precisely like a sapiens sapiens having a relationship with a neandertal.
If you’re exalted then you know that Tyrande basically ruined the diplomacy for the night elves
I’m not saying all the writing was sublime and perfect, but it was good enough that most people correctly were able to predict that the NB’s would join the horde because of how Tyrande was talking to and about them in quest and popup texts
I’ll agree on the idea that we didn’t need more elves then the two elf races we already had but hey, here we are.
If you want to be specific, they were given to Horde because the Void Elves went to Alliance (or vice versa, same difference really) and you’re playing a void elf now so…
because Devs’ disaster lore creation.
I ll explain you the problem
Imagine tomorrow, blizzard decide to add Murloc on alliance, before the patch : no lore, no questline, nothing more than “we killed murloc in elywnn forest”
and they add a weird questline to “explain” why murlocs are now in the alliance.
I guess you’ll agree with blizzard decision, without thinking about
Normally I would agree but
Nightborne should have been Alliance and thus reconect the night elves and highborne with them in some remdeemed story. It was badly written “bUh TyrAndEh” just so they can cull night elf pop and boost the horde
No it shouldn’t. Someone didn’t pay attention to how night elves abandoned Highborne civlization so another Azshara can’t be repeated.
