@that_kind_oforc @morisdreadvale @valarynn they randomly changed all the void elves too. and for what? now i look like a jackass in the gold and purple heritage armour YOU GAVE ME
English
Imagine if you will, a world of better colour theory.
THEY ARE EMERALDS, NOT FEL CRYSTALS.
We lost out on complementary colours AND FOR WHAT?! Its still wild to me they didnt even make ANY mounts/armours to match pre 2026 belf assets
(thanks @morisdreadvale for ruining my day)
English
@that_kind_oforc Genuinely a sick joke that the -blood elf expansion- showers us in elf transmogs but every single one of them barring a demon hunter glaive go out of their way to not match 20 years of gear you've been collecting. Or even just the heritage armor.
English
@that_kind_oforc Genuinely overnight they decided blood elves don't do this anymore ever, anywhere, for any reasons. The entire culture decided a color was satanic like a switch was flipped.
English
@BornOfDusk @BaalTheWarlock @DarkLeafCoven Astalor with anguish, the warlocks of murder row, dark rangers defending their people once again, etc etc
English
@BornOfDusk @BaalTheWarlock @DarkLeafCoven In a normal world I think the plot of "our fanatical asshole paladin army didnt work! What do we do!" would obviously lead to the maligned and shunned of elven society proving to be the real power, that the scarred and ostracized are the ones who saved us before and will do again
English
The entire elf unity plot is alliance centric and very palpably made by alliance mains because mysteriously the Undead Elves are entirely 100% left out of the plot.
English
@sparkgremlin Big fucking forsaken banner unfurls and it suddenly clicks for them this isn't scourge from the plaguelands or twilight cultists
English
@sparkgremlin Alonsus who got a new outfit that suspiciously matches Calias :3
English
@sparkgremlin Passing by all those big golden statues of slain and memorialized ranger heroes considered gone, because its easier that way. But no here they are! Protecting their city again.

English
@sparkgremlin Its such a true warcrafty subversion on genre tropes and its own history in a way we dont really get anymore either.
God I'm just picturing the dark rangers marching into the city because their oaths still stand even if they're reviled and aughhhh
English
@sparkgremlin This thing is even IN Midnight. So someone clearly thought through how the forsaken would get from Lordaeron to Eversong and it was just in service to having bad guys to kill in a dungeon.
English
@sparkgremlin I'm just picturing a spooky goth version of the elves arriving at helms deep and losing it over how sick this would have been
English
@tentakvlt Its funny that both Sylvanas and Vereesa only exist as independent surrogates for Alleria since she was out of the picture for the early 2000s and now we're here in this mess.
English
i mean its so obvious that alleria only takes the forefront cause they ruined sylvanas so thoroughly they had to force her into relevance as "attrsctive elf archer 2"
English
@BaalTheWarlock This nails it. The framework I have been attached to for my characters for almost 20 years doesn't exist anymore and they aren't providing anything of substance in its place.
English
BFA and Shadowlands actively undermined the inherent logics of the world and undermined the agreed upon thematic cores of the playable races
You cannot expect a player to remain attached to a world that actively undermined the reasons for why they are attached to the world
English
This is a 30 year old game world with coherent internal logics with players accessing the gameworld via Specific Avatars.
Players agree to play the game, experience the Gameworld, through the Avatars, agreeing to the world's internal logics for those characters.
English
@that_kind_oforc @SkyLandry2 @_acidcringe @eonLepidopteran @BaalTheWarlock And like nobody is even really talking about the elves having entire MSQs devoted to them. We just wanted our background fluff left intact. Its passive story! Its so fucking weird to go "im glad they got rid of it, now theres more room for other races" Like what?
English
@SkyLandry2 @_acidcringe @valarynn @eonLepidopteran @BaalTheWarlock Literally. Blood elves have not had story about them since mop.
Like what are we doing pretending that now sanding away all that story and progress, to then leave them with nothing is somehow good?
What benefit does that bring the setting or any future story for them?
English
The end result of Elf Unity is pissing everyone off
How does this benefit the Gameworld? How does this benefit the player base, or reinforce the Magic Circle of the Gameworld?
Baal Samael@BaalTheWarlock
I don't grasp why Elf Unity was conceived as a good plot
English
@that_kind_oforc I mean I'll take anything if it means they stop touching the elves I suppose but maddening to have the expansions whole draw be resolved in the first month.
English
@that_kind_oforc Genuinely where are we going from here. 12.1 is almost certainly more Amani. Is 12.2 gonna be underground again? Lordaeron? Azuremyst?
English
If the Voidwell is fixed before the VERY end of the launch patch, it is a collosal failure of stakes, investment and scope.
Taking back the sunwell should not be the same plot beat as fixing the thing.
Your xpac premise should not be a 3 week story.
Grox@that_kind_oforc
It is written and rushed past like someone needed to tick a box. This is not earned, deserved or set up in any way to have any depth, emotional resonance or pay off. Genuinely who the fuck was this for and for what purpose? To say nothing of the Dawnwell bullshit coming up
