>WoW: Forever offers a perfect chance to give high elves to Alliance and blood elves to Horde without TBC attached>do basically that (almost to the letter) but somehow make them yet another retarded fanfic elf race literally no one asked forThis is actually just Ion never wanting to eat his words on helves and willing to die on this hill of preventing them from ever being in the game, isn't it?
blizzard really said "fuck it" and made some fucking alliance white elves? God alliance are such babs
>>747543445Are you retarded?
>>747543612I don't think so, I only played warcraft 3 so I don't know all the gay stuff from the mmo
>>747543445genuinely retarded and illiterate
>>747543348and it's locked behind a paywalla race that you have to pay $30 forand it's just a fucking reskinned blood elf
>>747543348They don't want Hordelets to shit themselves and scream over Alliance getting something they don't have any sort of equivalence to
>>747543348They did this obtuse shit already with void elves. If it was a mistake then, it's not now. They do it on purpose.
elf eyebrows look stupid as fuck
It's such a weirdly gross shade of blue too. They look they're supposed to be fish elves rather than sky elves
>>747544079>It's such a weirdly gross shade of blue too. They look they're supposed to be fish elves rather than sky elvesliterally looks like they scrapped an idea where they saved the naga by turning them back into elves, and then just saved the nu-naga
>How are we going to monetize classic+, do we just sell it like a small expansion?>nah lets just tax all the faggots and trannies who want to play as (not)blood elvesunfathomably based move, shame about the paid beta access though
>>747544079Skyborne is such an asspull it'd be hard to justify them even in retail but it's beyond inexcusable in a Classic+ format.
>>747543348blood elf animations are just better than human animations. better run, cooler jumps, better melee. i prefer them for the 'humanoid race' role, though i guess technically they were high elves on turtle
likely to main - priestenjoy playing - mageenjoy playing - roguemy special snowflake fave - druid - maybe, more likely if there are changes, like boomkin is playable at end game as more than just a mascotno idea if horde or ally yet. classic horde has better races (well, undead), and they can play all of those except druid, so horde seems likely. but i prefer ally levelling routes and know them best. (again, except undead who have the best start. man classic undead are just the best)
>>747543348I cannot wait to eat that shit up. My disposable income is almost flying out of my wallet!
>>747543348good there are no high elves leftand i swear i heard about sky elves in some theory vid about what last titan will be, floating northerend was already confirmed so yea
>>747543348Why do i remember some old lore about elf skin color being based on the magical fonts theyre exposed to, and their eyes also being influenced which is why blood elf eyes were green in the first place but their skin turned white from the sunwell(and some eldritch entity buried under tirisfal they encountered when they first came to eastern kingdoms from the night elves refusing to accept them for continuing to rely on arcane)
>>747543348>high elves to AllianceIt never made sense to splinter a near genocided group of people into a faction that's not even rebuilding Quel'Thalas let alone the Sunwell which they couldn't even live without. To have them somehow survive at all without for 2 expansions without fel made 0 sense and it was only done because few self-insert Alliance rats on the writing team wanted elf wives.Actual Quel'Dorei are still in Quel'Thalas. They called themselves Blood Elves specifically to honor the fallen which was the 90% of the race.Diaspora traitor slaves are not "high elves". They should be called Diaspora'Dorei and/or Void Niggers because even the tentacle raped ones outnumber the special snowflakes that couldn't live without alliance rat cocks.I'm glad annoying cuckolds like you lost. I'm glad you will never ever win.
>>747543821Horde players can't shut the fuck up about ogres either. Except unlike the elves they have a stronger case.
>>747546968Void elves except for Alleria are all ex-belves lmao dumbass.
>>747546520>good there are no high elves leftValeera and the Silver Covenant. There's definitely supposed to be more of them than void elves.
Nublizz just cant help themselves. People want more stuff based on WC3 and vanilla WOW story, they do a complete asspull
>>747549047yeah void elves were indeed thought up by a dumbass
Gave people fucking Navi for an extra $30
>we already have Void Elves done in retail, haircuts and all>just port them over and make the skin tones lighter>ANNOUNCING: SKYBORNE
>>747549472It's genuinely amazing. And they're CHARGING for it.
What the fuck is up with the racials, what the FUCK are these MORONS DOING?
>>747544079If you told me this was a screenshot of Midnight's upcoming patch, I'd believe you with no questions asked.Instead this is Classic+.lol said the scorpion.
>>747546968>no blood elves in Foreverlmao
>>747549642You will have twelve alts that spawns a Black Lotus out of thin air every 5 minutes and you will like it.
>>747549047Yes, and that's why Void Niggers outnumber the Diaspora Traitors. Blood Elves are High Elves.
>>747544079I fucking hate these recolored slop races. They don’t fit and look awfuk.
>>747544079it's so funny to think about the meeting for these things>guys, this is classic+, we can do ANYTHING!>let's introduce a random ass-pull race>EXACTLY!and then they just did it without thinking if anyone would actually like that
I feel like im in a psychosis how is it that not everyone who sees this isnt just offended, I don't know what else to call these stuff, it's just so base and vile but people love it.
>>747549905everyone has been conditioned to be fucked in the ass for decades bro
Did you get your invite?
>>747544079It looks like a troll skin tone.
>>747549905When you spend 4 years hyping up some mythical "Classic Plus" in your head, you will accept anything.Blood Elves, Cata assets, Legion armor, $30 races, battle pass style unlocks, etc.They could have pulled a gun on the crowd and started firing while yelling CLASSIC PLUS and you would still hear a mixture of screams and cheering.
>>747544079It could have been literally anything and they chose this. A borderline OC donut steel recolored race for $30 instead of something fun like Naga, hell you could just stick with goblins if you want a neutral race, which frankly I don't know why classic"+" needs a neutral race.
>>747549954I CAN'T WAIT SEVEN WEEKS!I NEED TO SPOIL EVERY NEW IOTA OF CONTENT UP TO LEVEL 30 RIGHT NOW.SAVE ME AGGREND!
>>747550024I genuinely do believe it's a China-focused choice. Unfortunately it is completely at-odds with SOVL so they'll need to do some serious work to increase the SOVL meter
>>747550024elves will selldon't think their racials are that good. how applicable is a free slow fall?
>>747549838I suspect they actually spent a lot of time thinking about this>Gives Blood Elf model to horde and alliance>Technicolour skin to attract retail troons>Can use default belf skin for Belf players>Nobody will listen to Helf complainers because retail troons established a narrative of Helf players just wanting racist elves>And most importantly, can charge $30 since it's "new"Sure, it's horrible for the overall state of the game, but Blizzard don't care about that. Or at least they are gambling it won't out weigh the gains they can make.
>>747550082Wait didn't China ban WoWDid I hallucinate that
You think blue blood elves as a new race is bad?Wait until that new class they mentioned is some roodypoo Evoker shit stolen from retail.
>>747550082Its definitely for the retarded asian audience who refuse to play anything that doesn't resemble anime characters
>>747550082I can understand at this point if they've lost all semblance of creativity with retail but with this endeavor you have everything on the table to pick from. Literally anything and everything from the series and 20+ years of the MMO, you can pick anything you want, this is your opportunity to build a new WoW from the ground up sculpting every inch of it to be a magical experience that will captivate and cause lifelong addiction in players.But no, a fucking blue elf. No not that blue elf, the red one, but blue.
>>747549905The only people who are still playing blizzard games are all the most mazed retards on the planet. Blizzard could shit on a plate, give it fox and/or elf ears and call it "Classic Plus" yet these fanatics would still eat it up and beg for more.The thing that really marks this thing as a massive cashgrab is the (greyed out) shop icon in the Forever footage and the fact that these faggy elves don't have a low poly version that makes them look like the rest of the SD models.
I need to know what happens to the TBC, MoP, and SoD players.Not what you assume will happen to them, I need a concrete statement or post from the blues.I want to see the light leave their eyes as 7 years of work gets flushed down the toilet while they sell you blueberry Blood Elves for $30.
>>747550024They could have given the Horde Ogres and the Alliance High Elves and people would have been fine. They choose the most lame thing possible
>>747549561The hairstyles are different, they probably ported over hairstyles meant for velves (since velf customization is shit) over to le skyborne.
Obviously they were instructed to monetize something to justify the investment in the project. The sub has stayed the same for 20 years despite inflation.
>>747550283Even blood elves for horde and high elves for alliance would have been better than this. You still get anime elves for both factions and those races actually exist
>>747550275no one will play any classic wow, its dead jimwow is deadall we have is retail 1 and retail 2
>>747550378I think $180 a year is a pretty good amount of money to bring in per player. You're buying what amounts to 3 full priced video games (or one GTA6 lmao) but you aren't really getting anywhere near that much content in return for your investment.
>>747550283>ogrespeople say they want uggo races in the game, but no one fucking plays them when it comes down to it
>>747550283Hell, they could have just gone with horde goblins and no one would have cared AND it would have been easier/more cost effective to just copy the BE/GB models from TBC and retail wow into forever.
>>747550458Not every race needs to be the most popular, it's OK to have a little bit of everything including the weird and ugly.
This is one of those dont let perfect be the enemy of good situations
I can't wait to see classic plus!>announcing: Cataclysm 2!
>>747543348non-Wowfag, what's the obsession over High Elves? Reminds me of Half-Elves in D&D but you already have special snowflake elves like Blood Elves as I understand it
>>747544079this looks like those gay dragons from dragonflight
>>747550550Alliance that are just mad Horde got the fair skinned anime elves and not them.
>>747543348Lol you play an MMO with pride parade events in it
>>747550580That’s every MMO
>>747550454it would be very interesting to see how many subs exclusively play classic or retail and how many play both. obviously blizzard has this internal data. forever would need to make people who are not already subbed do so in order to be a return on investment. this might explain the cost of the donut steel elves.
>>747550550They keep adding 10 million flavours of elves that never existed in the universe until that point. But they won't add the 1 elf that actually did already exist. It makes no logical sense.Players want a wow that adapts Warcraft 3 and to a lesser extent, 1 and 2. Instead the devs act like the game is second life.
>>747550625Lol do you only play fag games or something?
>>747550641>forever would need to make people who are not already subbed do so in order to be a return on investment. this might explain the cost of the donut steel elves.People who are not already subbed are not going to sub for donut steel elves though, in fact it might make them do the opposite
>>747550501investing resources into implementing a race and then being "its okay if no one plays them" is a tough sell.
>>747550501>>747550458The Forsaken are ugly and they are popular. All that matters is vibes and if they have something cool going for them. Modern game devs have no vision
>>747550580This is a shitpost, but also a dark truth.We know this new version will have a shop and monetized transmogs. I could see the trading post making it over eventually.Wait until next June when your classic "forever home" is flooded with not-Blood Elves running around in rainbow tabards and spamming rainbow toys.Better section off the streets of Stormwind now, grandma's coming home.
>>747549712INFINITE MANA
>>747550641True, I tend to forget, or maybe block out, how many versions they have running and it's all on one sub. I guess to be fair they don't put all that much work into most of them, but still yeah.
>>747543348They're just assholes, that's all. They have no accountability, no profit motive, and they actively hate their customers. Nothing will change until Asha rolls in and clears the whole company out.
>>747550719thats the players doing shit and not blizzard tho
>>747546968Well, this group of elves that they implemented are another splint group of Blood Elves, which we have never heard before, and live on a floating island in the sky that we have also never heard of before.
>>747550550Alliance cucks think Blood Elves should've been in their faction. Despite them quite liberally almost genociding them in WC3. Separate "High Elf" NPCs in Alliance were a mistake and making them playable wouldn't make sense since there's like ten of them. But instead of simply telling the eternally cucked Alliance rats on forums and twitter to shut the fuck up already they keep trying to throw bones at them.They've been seething for 20 years now.
Blue elves are in poor taste, but I dont really care. Will play and am happy to see I can be an Alliance shaman in Forever
>>747550705If that's the case then every horde race beyond blood elves should be removed, just a silly way to think that only the popular matters. Adapting an existing model like Ogre or Naga (the more ridiculous options) takes very little effort because most of the work has already been done.If you are worried about min maxing ROI and not trying to make an imaginative and wondrous game then you've already failed.
>>747550550Every half a year Blizzard introduces a new subspecies of elf pulled out of deepest ass, only to shit on it harder than all previous subspecies of elf combined.
>>747550807Ah, yes. Blizzard would never.
>>747543348stay tuned for classic++ for the purple elves
>>747550845It's shit and I'm not defending that. I'm just glad the annoying cucks got served another bowl of shit instead of the shit they wanted.
>>747550847No one's saying that anymore though, you're just projecting. Horde can keep their fel-addicted blood elves, high elves should be part of the alliance since the game itself continues to show they're still around.
imagine all the sky elf smut ahead of us
>>747550550Have you played humies in WC3? The alliance faction incorporated dwarves and high elves.It just feels weird them not being included in the alliance in wow.It’s Horde that should be getting the weird blue and rainbow elves but Alliance should have high elves proper. This is why private servers will always thrive btw among other things like disneyfying fucking Warcraft of all things
>>747550949>grok, tint this blood elf porn blue
>>747550896i really cant blame them when we have 20 years of data on what players ACTUALLY prefer rather than what they say they want.
>>747550940>Horde can keep their fel-addicted blood elves,They can't because they will be absent from Classic+, Forever.
>>747550847>>747550936Repeating "cuck" over and over doesn't impress anyone here, it just outs you as a cringe tourist from 2018.
>>747543348will never understand retards obsession with high elves.
Surely there will be a mod to make them into Blood and High elves, right?
>meanwhile on the private servers
>>747551080They already can be. They have a white skin tone.
>>747551080Yeah, it'll come pre-built in.It's called "Adjust skin tone"
arent the high elves you see in warcraft 2 and 3 all basically the blood elf kael thas faction by the time of vanilla wow
>>747551094>Male FemaleBLIZZARD, SUE THIS MAN
>>747551072That's because you're probably new to Warcraft or the fantasy genre in general. The elf/human/dwarf core dynamic is a tradition that's existed since before you were born.
>>747551130No, because Vanilla was has high elf npcs (alliance friendly npcs and quest givers) and blood elf npcs (quest mobs). Essentially vanilla retconned TFT lore.
>>747543348I want to play WoW Forever so bad, but damn, PoE2 is also coming... I can't manage multiple online games
>>747551130No, there's a bunch of High Elves who didn't go along with Kael. They are present in the vanilla game. They show up many times throughout the years, most notably as a whole army during Legion and Midnight.
>>747551124>>747551125Except then I still have to some mentally ill tranny's troon on my screen. I dont want to see a blue elf AT ALL.
>>747551181Homeboy watched Lord of the Rings extended cut and wants to go off about dynamics and traditions.
>>747551196you're gonna be raidlogging in forever eventually no matter what. you can do both, but maybe not right at launch.
>>747550940>fel-addictedStopped being the case since TBC. Blood Elves are High Elves. Special snowflake diaspora NPCs are nonsensical and nonexistent in any relevant number.Remember how hard you got raped when Blood Elves got their blue eyes back while Void Rats couldn't even have blonde hair? lmao, I 'member blizz having to throw another dog bone to stop your bleeding ass.>saying that anymoreYeah the complaint and seethe evolved. It's still the same repackaged seethe. Stay cucked. >>747551014In this case it's absolutely accurate. Alliance retards got cuckolded 20 years and they will forever be cucks because they will never stop seething and spamming the forums and social media like the annoying cuckolds that they are. See the rat I first replied to.
>>747551250>doesn't know about Warcraft RTS games>doesn't know about Warhammer Fantasy
>>747551009Yeah no I can blame them when you have a dozen options and choose to come up with one that makes no sense and looks worse than at least a few options that are already on the table. Even if you want to limit it to your silly little pretty race options it's still not at the top of the list.Everything matters in a MMO, you're building a world, you have to cover everything from top to bottom.
>>747551309It’s not my problem bro I’m not playing wow anymore either and sure as hell not including high elves is just another incentive not to play have fun with your sloppa and keep sucking blizzard’s dick.
i am just not gonna buy the blue elves pack and instead play one of the vanilla races.
>high elves were RIGHT FUCKING THERE and they gave us blueberry elves insteadWhat the actual fuck, how out of touch is BlizzardI would've fucking dropped $30 to play as them, I'd never in a million years do it for these new guys
>>747551309Blood elves? Oh that's what these were. But by all means, keep trying to sound hard while only posting art. Lol. Lmao.
>>747551345I'm making fun of the way you talk, not your point.Your point is correct. You just convey it like a fag.
Really the biggest thing I want out of a Classic+ is new Things To do (leveling zones smoothing out the leveling a bit, new dungeons, new raids, new BGs etc) which we're getting, and new balance changes to help this solved-ass game feel bit more alive. Give us some buffs and nerfs. Do warriors really need to be so heads-and-shoulders over everybody else? Probably not. Do some of those "damage" specs really need to be such abysmal dogshit? Probably not. Do we really need the debuff limit? Hell no. Do we really need to go get world buffs all the fucking time? Please, god, no.
>>747551391thats an blood elf
>>747551428>Your point is correct.I agree.
>>747551436No that’s silencer from dota
>>747551181no, I played WC 2,3 and Vanilla at release but keep projecting, zoomer.
>>747551309>>747551419belf cuck completely BTFO
>>747543348If you still play this game you're either a faggot, a tranny, or you love em.
>>747551419I'm glad you found peace in tentacle rape void fren
>>747551436Wrong
>>747551309Nigger, no one here cares about your pathetic grudge against high elves based on shitty fanfic lore (aka retail) - We're war3/vanilla-chads here
>>747551419Imagine saving this many images of your ugly ass WoW character to look at when you feel even a little heterosexual that day so you can quickly correct it.
>>747551281thanks... I hope so
>>747543348elf fags deserve to get fleeced
>>747551534ahahahahahahahahaahaha
>>747551510>We're war3?>>747550847Warcraft 3 rapes the retarded secondaries that demand diaspora elves.
biggest problem is the toxic classic casuals going forward. a lot of zoned out dadgamers play classic specifically because it's easy, you only have one button to press, raids have no mechanics and you can be semi afk in the back watching something on the second monitor, while still having a chance at purple pixels. these types will not suffer actually having to pay attention or log in outside of the weekly 90min raid clear.
>>747550275>SoDThey already got a free character transfer to mop classic iirc.
>high elf cucks lost againgood. they are no true Warcraft-fans and complete lorelets anyway.
>>747551481I'm older than you've been alive, alphoid.
Hope they expand on their lore and game design decisions for these elves at some point
>>747551631>he switched from spamming art to just randompostingoh no no no no
>>747551691NTAtake your meds
>>747551606lollmao
>>747551748>no argument Indeed. Warcraft 3 rapes the retarded secondaries that demand diaspora elves. It breaks both your knees by killing the only two arguments eternally cuckolded alliance rats spam. Nice nigger porn edit btw. Mutt.
>>747551617At some point we have to take back video games from these people who don't actually like playing video games. They want to be there, they want to be a part of something that's popular, but god forbid they actually put in any effort to play it.
>>747544079I hate to say this, but trans-coded color
>>747551648doubt it, since you are a zoomer. its pretty obvious.
>>747546665You remember correctly. Elves' appearance is based on prolonged exposure to a given form of magical energies.
>>747551907You see some blue nigger and you think of trannies? You gotta get off the internet for a while my man.
>>747551831>swtiches from spamming wow art and cuck to WC3 and secondariesSad. You've been cucked by your own cuckery kek
>>747543348>>747544079Fortunately you don't HAVE to be blue as a Skyborne.
>>747550847>Despite them quite liberally almost genociding them in WC3.One faction of a broken non-unified human Alliance in a post-apocalyptic region did that to one fraction of the elves.
It was absolutely bizarre doing my raids on TBC today and hearing everyone GUSHING over how excited they are for this shit. Did we watch the same thing? Did they not see how fucking gay this looks? How it barely resembles Classic at all? I thought you fuckers were playing Classic versions because you hated what WoW had become, and how the modern WoW team has no idea what they're doing. But no they all just dive headfirst into this shit without a second thought, like they totally forgot about SoD less than 3 years ago where 90% of these motherfuckers bounced off in the first month. This has basically killed TBC overnight and made the last 8 months of Classic entirely pointless. I just wanted to fucking play Wrath, man.
>>747551919You're transcoded.
>>747544627>Skyborne is such an asspullEvery race they ever introduced was an asspull. The Night Elves and Tauren were an asspull in WarCraft 3.
>>747552110>You see some blue nigger and you think of trannies?In a Blizzard game.
>>747552119you will see hundreds of them in the world, black ones too because inclusion
>>747552148its clear that people want something new that doesnt invalidate the original experience and that's what forever is offering
The most bizarre thing is that the "sky elves" actually ARE high elves. They're basically high elves who have been living in the backwoods of Kalimdor. Alliance could have gotten EK high elves, and Horde could have gotten these backwater hillbillies.What a baffling way to choose to do this.
>>747552190but warcraft 3 is a good game so its finecopy the good shit not the dogshit ass retail isit really is as simple as that:if you want to add more stuff to classic wow, add shit from the first three warcraft gamesanything else is retail trash
