World of Warcraft

I've been out of the loop for a while, the fuck are "void elves"? Are they another high elf offshoot? Are they a major part of the lore now?

Who the fuck were they even made for?

They don't actually exist in the lore yet. In the latest patch Alleria revealed she'd trained with an Ethereal who taught her how to harness the void. These elves will follow in her example.

They were made to appease High Elf cry babies on the Alliance. However, in reality they don't please anyone because they aren't high elves.

/thread

Blood Elves who were kicked out of Silvermoon for dabbling in Void magic so they joined the Alliance to give them Blood Elf eared elves to balance out Horde getting Night Elf eared elves with the Nightborne

The last fucking thing this game needs is more elves.

Just don't question it anymore.

It's impossible to even follow the plot anymore with all the retconning, time-freezing, time-travel and plain mistakes.

Just... accept that they're there.

>One of Jesse Cox's viewers asks about the possibility of High Elves and Mag'har Orcs among other things in the future
>Ion, visibly fuming, says High Elves don't exist in large enough numbers to justify being playable
>Despite there only being like a dozen Void Elves realistically
Has a company ever been more petty towards their own playerbase?

>Implying there aren't just millions of dark naaru laying around everywhere, ready to be absurbed by some level 1s

No seriously, what the fuck man.

>like a dozen Void Elves realistically
So about the same number as people who will play them anyway.

They got that void tendril pussy my dude.

I think they will draw a bit more with the Blink racial basically letting kids fulfill their *TELEPROTS BEHIN U* fantasies and obviously being made to appeal to Vampirefags.

Basically it was made to appeal to Tweens.

and wowg

everyone thought pandas were bad, just wait until they get released. wowg will be an even bigger dumpster fire than it currently is, i guarantee

Why can't they just let the alliance play high elves? Wouldn't they just be blood elves without green eyes?

That's exactly it, they aren't going to bring in a brand new playable race that's literally a copy/paste.

High eleves are reserved for SPESHUL SNOWFLAKE characters and ACTUALLY A DRAGON ones.

>Mfw wow is too big of a moneymaker for blizz to put it down and make a new next gen mmo
:(

they've got literally no reason to now that there are literal reskin races now that you unlock

Because Alliance autists think that because they exist in the lore, it should therefore exist in the game, and can't separate the reality of gameplay from their head-fantasies.

90% of High Elves were killed during Scourge invasion of Quel'Thalas, of the remaining 10%, 90% of those turned into Blood Elves. High Elves are a extremely small group of elves.

and Blood Elves are 80% of the Horde

But don't people playing the game already expect to have some ludo-narrative dissonance when 5-10 nobodies from bumfuck nowhere are able to take out the Lich King and horrible monsters from across time and space like nothing while the major story characters can barely survive fighting a couple cannon fodder demons? Considering those heroes people in this game regularly killed Thrall and Varian for achievement points.

And dragons posing as elves.

Can't forget those, they are probably half of the High Elf population.

Probably gonna get tuned down to like 50-60 once "AN ILLUSION! WHAT ARE YOU HIDING?" gets added, still ending out due DK and DH.

On the other hand the total ELF population will probably get bumped up to like 90%.

Nightbourne are cool, but they aren’t pretty and that’s the biggest draw for elves.

And void elves are an even smaller group dumdum. Ion's argument doesn't hold up. High Elves have had a strong presence in the alliance since tBC, I don't see why blizzard doesn't just cave and give people what they want.

I want to impregnate an elf

Preferably a Night Elf because goddamn tall purple women with huge pointed ears are the best

They don't want to flat out say that they're afraid of 50% of the horde pop going alliance if they ever added regular high elfs.

>Because Alliance autists think that because they exist in the lore, it should therefore exist in the game

>Implying Hordebabbies don't feel the same way with how Theramore isn't a crater in game

Alliance blood elves

I'd say the gear elevates them though and honestly going by the NPCs there is only two real "issues" with the females that would turn off Belf players from them the first being MANGHANDS and the second being NOT WHITE., the men are worse off due their BALDING, but there will probably be haircuts that "fix" that.

Also Manasabers, look at this kitty, how can Belves even compare.

>There are way too few high elves to be a viable playable race
>So lets add in an offshoot of an offshoot of an offshoot of high elves for them to play instead
>Forget the fact that there should realistically only be like 20 playable Worgen and every goblin is Gallywix's personal archenemy

The smartest thing to do would be have the blood elves join the Alliance, Tauren and Night Elves leave and make their own faction, and the Orcs reform the Horde by taking in the Ogres and maybe the Centaurs

There's too many fucking elves in this game.

I want to fuck Elves

Sounds okay-

Tauren and Nelves should join forces and fold into Cenarion Circle as their Government, at this point both of their allies keep fucking up nature to retarded degrees and it is getting abundantly clear the races shouldn't be on opposing sides.

...

Garrithos best bro.

>Night elf
>void elf
>blood elf
>Nightborne

Looks like wow is pandering to waifu fags more and more, cant wait till they start selling full outfits for 20 dollars, or hell even a loot box with a random chance to get it

Considering how much the "Dunce Hats" cost i think a full outfit set would cost like 60$.

Reminder alliance could have had void ethereals, but people screamed for elves louder.

...

Idiots try and justify it by saying that there's not enough high elves left in the Alliance, while ignoring that the Darkspear trolls are playable despite numbering like 1000 in lore.
Really it's just blood elf snowflakes who don't want the Alliance to have something.

even the devs admitted that they were introduced just because they look cool no lore reason what so ever.

kwality kahntent

I think most non-belf Horde members would be happy to have Alliance get Helves since it would be weeding out so many shitters, sure DH would be lost too but you know, win some lose some.

And i liked the factions having exclusive classes, even though it was a obvious ass for them to balance.

>FUCKING PANDAREN

it's like if horde finally got ogres but they're all c'thuny because cho'gal popped out of his grave and joined the horde

THIS.

Way to make epic feel small Billzard.

YES
