"Even if they do have a new home and a new World Tree, the Night Elves can't help but feel displaced. They haven't just lost Teldrassil, they've lost Kalimdor."I'm guessing they forgot about winning Darkshore back? Also Feralas, Ashenvale, their attempts of healing Felwood, MOUNT HYJAL? Teldrassil was literally grown in like an afternoon, a couple decades ago. The Night Elves didn't need it back during the Third War, why are they lost without it, now?
I really hope that the starting area of the night elves will change completely with Midnight and that you will be able to quest in Amirdrassil from level 1. If Azeroth is going to be completely changed, it would be much better if it was reworked like this.
As long as there's dream portals to keep the lands connected, physical location does not matter much to me.My main issue is that just getting a home back is not the victory that makes the last 20 years of Night Elf torment worth it. It's arguable barely even worth the lives lost to defend it already, let alone the souls of all those lost at Teldrassil. Is someone burns down my home and family. And then while they are building me a new home, my dog dies defending it, simply getting a new home does not make all the suffering worth it.I know the story may yet have surprises incoming, but for now I'm disappointed. Amirdrassil is supposed to be the Hope of Azeroth. The Vessel of Rebirth. The Window between Life and Death. Unless in patch 10.2.7 the tree drops acorns that bring the souls of those lost back as playable dryads, I don't think a single victory balances out all the Night Elves have lost and endured.
Hmm...I don't like it.It fits the whole: Elves retreated to their own heavly guarded island beyond the see theme taht you see in LotR with Valinor and D&D witH Evermeet.Setteling on an Island that is basically guarded by the fully empowred dragon aspects is smart.Also Kalimdor was only guarded by NEs because of Hyal which gave NEs ther Imortality AND which was used as a ward against anyone using the Well of Eternity again out of fear to summon back the Legion.Well teh Legion is gone and there is no need anymore to guard the Well. Nordrassil itself has not much power left and Amirdrassil takes over.So from a lore and from a logic point of view it DOES make sense.BUT:From a gameplay point, from a players point and from a NE player point it is not great to have a capital delivered at the frecking END of the expansion on the island of said expansion that will never be used again for anything but a random portal for a random quest some times.So it is ... again the worst outcome.Blizzard again managed to precisely screw over NEs by giving them something with hooks attacked to.edit:Also don't like that the author is stating her personal view and interpratation (Which has opposite lore evidences) as facts.NEs have not abandoned Kalimdor and Darkshore, Ashenvale etc has been reclaimed in lore.
typo "World Trer" should be Tree lol
The Night elves honestly just should've moved back to Hyjal. Though, that being said, there's still plenty of places they still inhabit on Kalimdor and Teldrassil was a very, very young settlement compared to the rest of their territories there.
Dragonflight is gonna become the New Player Experience instead of BFA, so it makes a lot of sense that Amirdrassil isnt far away, especially when The Dragon Isles are close to EK, which is predominately Alliance turf, save for Lordaeron and Quel'thalas, which belongs to Belfs and the Forsaken.i'm happy with where it is placed in Azeroth.more importantly the Green Dragonflight wont have to be disconnected from the other flights, they can do their thing while being in their ancestral home, whereas before they were unable to go home.
Have it regrow over where Sylvanas burnt Terdrassil down lol
It’s ridiculous to imagine that DF being made the new starting experience is significant when they just dropped BFA as the new starting experience like a hot potato. Who says they won’t make TWW the new one once Midnight drops?
How do NE mains feel about this? im a Horde main and this seems like a ploy to make DF feel more important than it actually is. like does over 10,000 years of history in Kalimdor not matter any more? Ashenvale or Darkshore would make way more since to me and my zugzug brain
I’m pretty confused by this article. You state towards the beginning that the only places we visit in end game are the capital cities and the current hub. Every race except for humans and orcs face the exact same thing, but it’s only a problem for the night elves for some reason? They said that a major theme in Midnight is going to be uniting the elves of Azeroth. Both Midnight and The Last Titan are going to take place in old, updated zones. This article seems like a nothing burger.
