@Portergauge @TheRedShirtGuy I feel like this is the crux of it. The time gating on the max level stuff has distorted the timescale which has impacted the story a lot imho
English
Something I praised on a storytelling level during Midnight leveling is how the timescale felt totally believable. It made sense why we only had Blood Elves + the Vanguard, because everything happened too fast for armies to travel.
It would have been *so* easy to maintain that.
English
WoW Twitter is just a ton of people who know the lore going "Oooooo that quest text is wrong" and people who haven't read the text two expansions ago that the quest is based on going "UHM AKSHUALLY"
English
@AllenWesson2 Okay now I feel bad. She still does a good job, I just noticed a couple of lines sounded really weird, but that makes sense
English
Why does Maiev sound like she's choking on her words? Her voice has always been gravelly, but it sounds like she is STRUGGLING lol

@Portergauge @RamavataramaArt … welcome to return home of this wished, despite political differences. Is the exact point here. All of Veressa’s and the SC’s political differences don’t disappear because they respected Anasterian, even when they disagreed. Monarchy transcends politics as a symbol of unity.
English
@Portergauge @RamavataramaArt … great and has declined substantially, politically etc in their absence. It’s not really about who Anasterian was in life, it’s about the symbol he became in death. His death to Arthas, defending the very thing that is under threat now, at a time when all the elves were…
English
Okay I need to explain this fully so people get my issue lol
The fracturing of Quel'thalas did not begin the day that Kael'thas renamed them blood elves or introduced mana tapping, it was fracturing long before WC3 -- thanks to Anasterian.

I... this might be the most fundamental misunderstanding not only of the modern high elves, but the entire story of Quel'thalas in general. I legit need to make a whole thread about this once I'm done here lol
English
@robin_esque @Portergauge Sure, but you dont go to Silverglade unless the questline takes you there. I.e., the default state of the location is set at the time of this quest - so its for the quest.
English
@AllenWesson2 @Portergauge This is just the default state dialogue they have, not related to the questline.
English
I replayed the campaign chapter as Horde to see any changes and well... there are literally none lol
Not a single night elf or high elf reacts any different to the Horde/blood elf character than they do to an Alliance one.
English
@AliceThePurple I think this is sort of the point. As much as it is a plot device, and I don’t personally like it. Their reasoning is ‘we need expertise in big dark wells of magic, and we are on the clock’ so they call the elves.
English
Imagine if Lor'themar DID call on the Horde, but the Darkwell did something that ended in a failed effort on the Horde's part, or the Horde can hold back the Devouring Host, but we still need the magic expertise of the other Elves.
English
Man the Voidspire MSQ does not hold up.
It falls apart the second you remember the Blood Elves literally have an army greater than the united Elves that they can call on. The Horde.
Even Rommath says he wishes he could throw Orcs at the problem.
Why. Don't. You.
English
@AllenWesson2 Saying they’re too far away is crazy when portals literally exist smh
English
WHERE. IS. THE. HORDE.
“We need military might.” Ok so you mean like the entire Horde? I’m an alliance main and even I’m wondering why tf the Horde isn’t present. Why are we only asking elves for help.

Okay, doing the elf chapter of the Midnight max level campaign, here be spoilers! Doing the Alliance version first, and then Horde after to see differences. Starting right off the bat with the premise: we're gathering ALL the elves of Azeroth as the army to retake Quel'Danas.
English
@Portergauge It seems they recovered them from Northrend and that this is more about the symbolism and the quel’dorei preserving their ‘true’ culture.
English
Wh. Why would the high elves have these, and why would they care that much about the king they LEFT their nation over?

Upsetting news to hear #StarTrek Starfleet Academy will not go past Season 2. The fandom's inability to embrace any new storytelling outside of nostalgia might as well be the death knell for the fandom.

void elves are gonna be walking around looking like blood elves while the blood elf xpac has zero new customization options for blood elves lol I hate blizz from the bottom of my heart
MrGM@MrGMYT
Here are the new Demon Hunter customisation options coming in Patch 12.0.5 Void Elves are receiving updated blindfold textures, and all Demon Hunters will have access to a new blue eye colour, along with a flameless variant for both green and blue eyes.

@sparkgremlin @TheRedShirtGuy ooo good question - its the quest at the start of the Campaign when Lorthemar gets you acquainted with the new Silvermoon
I'll have a look and report back!
English
@AllenWesson2 @TheRedShirtGuy Can you point me to the name of the quest?
