No, the Dragonmaw used the One Ring rip off to psychically enslave her and forced her and her consort to fuck non stop.
The fucking was so relentless that he actually coomed to death (his Skull was in vanilla Ironforge).
You're thinking of Sinestra who got scarred up from Deathwing sex.
The only real dragon rape I can think of is the Red dragon in the nexus. Her name escapes me, but like after you kill one of Malygoses wives he kidnaps her and brainwashes her into a new one.

They released something as bad as WoD's plot, so I'd say they're at least on the same level.
Metzen hasn't done a single thing worthy of respect in almost two decades, I'll never understand where this delusional fanboy response comes from.
It's pretty obvious internally they think the dragons are unilaterally cool. It's the same kind of self fellation you see in nationalist propaganda, military propaganda, cop propaganda, etc

>if you're playing an MMO for the story you're a fucking retard
Why do you consider this a valid excuse for a multi-billion dollar company to have terrible writers on par with what I could write when I was a teenager?
MMOs CAN have quality stories; just look at FF14. And that shit is written by JRPG Nipponese people which are notorious for HORRIBLE storytelling-- if they can do it well, why the fuck can't Blizzard?
But Blizzard doesn't try. They just hire whatever dregs they hire because people like you just stay subbed no matter how bad it is
There's nothing that will stop Blizzard fans from eating absolute dogshit
It doesn't matter to them that there are better games out there, or that Blizzard hasn't been good for two decades or that they get milked in every way possible
They just keep on siphoning up that big steamy dump Bobby serves them
Dragons are cool, but Blizzard have made most the dragons in this expansion look like Disneyshit instead of actual Warcraft dragons.
Even the playable ones look like some scalies OC
i dunno anon. the dragon aspects calling each other family is really out of left field. especially since we killed off a good percentage of the blacks and blues in living memory at the behest of the other dragons.
i could see kalecgos going for it since his flight is all but depleted, and alex is of course mommy and would like togetherness. the bronze and greens are off doing their own thing though.
the most egregious thing is what they did to my boy wrathion. i was a wielder of fangs of the father and one of my favorite moments of MoP was finding the little tea house in between valley and kunlai and him greeting me as his 'master assassin'
>i dunno anon. the dragon aspects calling each other family is really out of left field
Anon, they've always done that. Even when Deathwing and Malygos went mad. Alex saw killing them as a necessary tragedy, which in both cases it was.
blizzard employees are completely out of touch with reality and think pitting every reddit meme into their game will make it more popular and somehow the writer landed on fast&furious page that day
I fucking despise validating chuds. I've hated their disruptive tourist homosexual asses from the second they started showing up during gamergate and the 2016 election and I think they're infinitely worse than SJWs because at least SJWs don't come to Ganker. But in this one instance I have to concede to them. Yeah, it's the hardcore leftists that are doing this.
I keep tabs on the WoW community across various social media sites even though I hate WoW now. I don't know why, I think I'm a masochist. But anyway there's a very vocal minority of super twitter SJWs who eat this shit up and always demand more. After the old guard left and the sexual harassment firings members of that SJW vocal minority ended up filling those spots which was probably on purpose because Blizz was on full damage control mode at that point so they wanted to score points through diversity hiring. Anyway now they're all circlejerking each other and writing thisgarbage because they grew up on Avatar and Steven Universe and think that everything should be like that.
the writers who wrote the good stuff got old and married their fans, and their stories quickly became pussified, when the old writers were gone the new writers who took their place were even bigger soi guzzling pussies, (who have never had the experience of writing a story that actually has to be engaging enough to sell on its own merits, outside of Christie Golden who was a consultant and her work is middling at best) and so we began on the path we find ourselves on now
Yeah but it was the logical conclusion to what happened on Azeroth. They should've just gone into SPACE if you wanted to keep playing around with alternate dimensional enemies
TBC and Wrath ruined the story completely and left no chance for redemption
Vanilla also had some retarded changes for gameplay purposes (Forsaken and Night Elves being chief among them).
vanilla and TBC were closer to older games that didn't really give a shit about the story and the gameplay came first. Wrath is when it changed from not giving a shit about the story to making is cringey and badly written instead of just not giving a damn
does illidan pop up through every dungeon in TBC like arthas does in wrath? Or can you do most TBC dungeons without waiting for RP (keyword "most" in case you're a drooling retard who can't read)

They've said a couple times now, even Metzen, that they've all grown up and had kids and want WoW to be a game their kids will like.
In other worlds, WoW is a kids game. Warcraft kind of always was since Warcraft 3. I've never met a single people that liked the game that was over 13 years old when they first played it.
Wow debuted as the normie mmo for people who weren’t interested in Everquest. Hardcores have never been their top priority until the recent mythic+ autism
It happens when your writing staff becomes pretentious and thinks they're writing a work of art. It's why the last two animations landed with a thud. It's appealing to the wrong audience that don't give a fuck about the wow IP

How? I recall their vanilla-wrath lore to basically be that they weren't good, or bad, but just went around shaping the universe because they could and it was something to do.
They didn't seem inherently evil or good, just some gods finding something to do to pass the time.

Three technically.
The Earth one, Iridikron, is working with Xal'atath so he'll show up again later. Maybe. Fuck if I know, Metzen's ignoring a lot of the last dew expansions.
The plan wasn't to leave them there for so long, the Dragon Isles basically wiped every dragon's memories of the place when the War of the Ancients happened and the keepers never really woke up until the isles were falling apart.
They've been doing these types of cutscenes for over a decade now, and they all feature that awful dialogue where the characters pause after every few words.
Teldrassil wasn't blessed because Fandral was trying to be greedy and use it to restore the NElves' immortality (and in doing so make himself leader), not for the Natural purposes which World Trees were meant to be used for.
Because Danuser hates Malfurion and wants to push Tyrande as le epic badass leader, but genuinely can't write her and Malfurion at the same time.
I'm not kidding
She was fucking awful and useless in Shadowlands and Elune was retarded and useless >TYRANDE YOU MUST CHOOSE BETWEEN LIFE AND VENGEANCE >Empowers her >OK I CHOOSE VENGEANCE >NO NOT LIKE THAT >Depowers her >NOW TYRANDE YOU MUST CHOOSE BETWEEN LIFE AND VENGEANCE
Raid Shadow Legends has better presentation than this shit the entire expansion looked like a chink mobile game Blizzard should be ashamed of themselves
Well I could believe Samwise's reasoning in that video where he states that he wants to work on something he can actually own and give to his kids since he thinks he has roughly 25 more years to live (where he assumes he will live about as long as his father)...
Or I could believe this schizophrenic anon.
Hm...
>Blizzard just completely forgot about his existence in Shadowlands.
They actually didn't Tyrande taunts Sylvanas about it (right before Sylvanas nearly kills her) and Sylvanas later states that she hopes to find him in The Maw.
Thanks for confirming that WoW has always been garbage storywise then. >"I'm an human (dead) but I will worship the elf bitch that didn't give a single fuck about my people till she got fucked, and FOR DA HOOOORDE"
One he was the only human to really hang out with elves and get that title
He specifically liked the Ranger general
Liked the horde because Sylvannas liked the horde
Nathanos was this badass forsaken hunter who would just fuck over the alliance characters in Eastern Plaguelands and became famous for it.
The implications based on his quests is much like the other Windrunner sisters, Sylvanas craved human cock and went out of her way to make this guy a ranger for Quel'Thalas despite Kal being like "fuck off humie".
Because Danuser was a Sylvanas waifufag, he basically turned the character into his insert, having him undergo a magic spell to give him a more "restored" undead form that happened to fucking look like Danuser himself.

Their entire art team needs fired. The character designs are pozzed beyond belief. The target audience for this game should be men in their 30's but it looks like it's made for Tumblr trannies
The only people left in their "audience" are hopeless addicts no better than the street shitters in san fran and transvestites and the few real girls and children that they prey upon.
Interesting choice to make mentally ill adults who likely don't work your target audience instead of middle aged men with disposable income who've played your games since childhood.
Warcraft was always popular because it was goofy, particularly WC3 which people consistently say is the best Warcraft game. The notion that people loved a bygone super serious Warcraft universe is just insanely false and has to be repeated by a zoomer who wasn't alive during that period.
This is false. Warcraft had what’s called a sense of humour and charm, not a complete sissified aesthetic. Think about the band Gwar, a brutal aesthetic but its content comedic while still being gutsy.
It was never as serious as Warhammer or something but it still had a lot of themes that the current writers shit their pants at and are consistently going retconning and even rewriting dialogue to soften. References to fucking "implied lack of consent" with magic subjugation in random little snippets of dialogue got rewritten. If you really don't think the game has heen pussified beyond recognition, you aren't paying any attention to it.
I’ve been saying this. The Warcraft 3 jokey voice lines are usually said by some terrifying monster, hot amazon chick or a turbo-masculine hero. People conflate that with smooth-crotched, inoffensive and edgeless writing and artstyle
Stop trying to revise history you homosexual, having a sense of humour doesn't mean that the game didn't take itself seriously. The vast majority of Warcraft fans come from the WC2/3 era where's there literal artwork, manual artwork, in game depictions, cinematics, cutscenes etc of war crimes. When old school fans think of Warcraft they don't think of gay tranny centaurs or Hearthstone fan art, it's a dishonest narrative and the only people who push it are retards that get offended by what Warcraft used to be 95% of the time.
Crazy how Baldur's Gate had actual child murder, cannibalism, serial killers, actually horrific depictions of murder and many other crimes against humanity. Yet blizzard thinks they will get more players by sanitizing what little teeth their game has.
I remember they removed garosh from calling Sylvanis a bitch for resurrecting fallen soldiers not mindless zombies. His response was warranted but the new devs are such fucking manchildren.
Meanwhile Baldur's Gate 3 called me a cuck. I loved it. Give me more games where NPCs talk real shit.
people are replying telling you to shut the fuck up because this is a contrarian board but you're right
Blizzard don't write stories anymore, they write PR pieces that they hope gaming journalists will then jerk off to
>Should've stuck to ripping off final fantasy I guess
They're doing it with the upcoming expansion, where Hydaelyn- I mean, Azeroth is talking to them. HEAR, FEEL, THINK but in WoW it's SEETHE, TRANSITION, SUICIDE.
The most amazing part is that this actually is the best writing they've done, because at the very least it's just filler that doesn't make every single character involved into an utterly braindead retard like in SL.
>XIV's story after the fucking atrocious Post-EW patches
Even Dragonflight was better than "Extremely hamfisted FF4 references out the ass". If Dawntrail starts bringing up Ancients again I'm fucking quitting.
Can modern writers create anything that isn't just Marvel, being """mysterious""" by saying feelings for 20 minutes or turning everyone black and or gay?
American writers have all been corrupted by the Whedon writing style. Every fucking bit of media intended for mass audiences gets nervous if it hasn't made a quip, meta reference or some corny trope within 5 lines of dialogue.
Everything is shit, and I hate it.
American audiences want that. Every time I point out how horrendous a translation is (not just for japanese games, but in general) and how it constantly tries to "punch up" the dialogue and shit like that I'm met with hostility. Americans will bitch and moan about this kind of writing, but they will always, always prefer it over the alternative (literally anything else).
Wonder what happened. They've been bros since the beginning of WC franchise. Without Sam, WoW's unique art-direction probably wouldn't have even existed.
Samwise posted a video about his retirement the other day
Boils down to "I've been at Blizzard for 30 years doing Blizzard's stuff. I love the work but I want to focus on my own stuff going forward"
i think Metzen talking about another 20 years of WoW probably what made him quit.
was hoping to see them trying to write a real ending to the WoW saga and move into something new but I guess I got too optimistic.
He explicitly mentioned not wanting to be tied down to Blizzard's existing stuff or new IPs in the future. He just wants to continue making his own stories (apparently he's released a number of illustrated stories in the past couple years) and he still draws album art for metal bands on the side
Guy was probably cashing a fat paycheque at Blizzard while doing basically nothing creative since HotS died
Reminder Sam wanted to work on WC3: Reforged and was told no
Then the dumbass that made the decision to focus on realistic graphics left before it flopped

thats fair. the lack of "metal" shit in wow has been grating for a long time which probably drove him nuts.
hopefully he comes back into wow in the future as a freelancer to help out in something, but i can understand his reasoning. needs some time to branch out on his own. all the best to him.
In his video, he said he'd probably still be doing the occasional work for Blizzard, mentioning how he had done some card artwork for Hearthstone and some other popular physical media stuff. He just came to the realization that he's getting up in the years and has basically spent his entire adult life working at Blizz, so he wants to focus more on his own individual projects, something he can leave for his kids after he's gone and they can do what they want with it.
Implicitly, he seemed to be recognizing that he had believed that the world he created for Blizzard was ‘his world’ but, upon introspection, he really had no authority over what he had made for the corporation (now Microsoft)
He doesn’t seem bitter at all, but he repeatedly brought up the value he places in artists ‘making their own worlds’
Also, his dad died and he’s feeling old and realized that he had spent his entire career (since 21) doing art for Blizz and maybe it would be good to do other things too
He’s still on good terms with Blizz but obviously wants more (not in terms of money but in some artistic/ego sense)
It seems like the best choice for him anyways, long as he's financially stable already. Hopefully we'll get more of his vision in a wider spread of projects now.
Sadly it hasn't felt like his art style for ages now anyway. We'll see how much worse it can get, but like half the assets in Dragonflight are completely rushed garbage anyway. The Emerald Dream zone looks like a pile of shit.
Samwise "unique art direction" has been absolute fucking shit since Cataclysm and has only gotten worse over time. It's just as funny as you retarded drones thinking that Metzen coming back will fix the writing, as if he wasn't responsible for garbage like WoD.
>Samwise "unique art direction" has been absolute fucking shit since Cataclysm.
might have something to do with most of the team moving onto other projects after WoTLK was released. >drones thinking that Metzen coming back will fix the writing
he definitely won't. the game is beyond fixing but he most likely will try to make the most out of the cancer that's already in the lore now. that's the best he can do, realistically.

Looks like shit, everything blends together
Unit movement is incredibly smooth but the actual gameplay is shit because everything is decided in half a second
SC1's story wasn't great but it's like Tolkien compared to SC2
Samwise just posted a video yesterday. There's no drama, his dad recently died at 78 and he's 50-something and realized "if I have the same genetics, what if I only have 20 years left, and do I want to use them at Blizzard or make what I want?" His big lesson that he wanted to communicate to other artists and fans is to not live in other people's worlds, and go work on/create your own.
sound advice tbh.
and he's not wrong. too much talent in the world is being spent wasting away at these companies when it should be used to make new shit.
yeah i get you need the pay and impress your shitty co-workers and online ""friends"" but is it really worth it if all you're doing is throwing away everything that makes you unique just to blend into an already uninspiring real world?

what in gods name made them think THIS is what people want
>made them think
Their reasons for putting the WAR back in warcraft were retarded, and the way things happened were even more asinine. Odds are they read the complaints as people not wanting WARcraft, when people really just want decent stories. It doesn't have to involve forced conflicts between alliance and horde.

I'm still disappointed that they didn't make Nazjatar at least partially underwater. I don't care what anyone says, Vashj'ir was fucking kino back in Cata and we needed another underwater zone like it
No, nobody wanted the stupid fucking faction war back besides literal mouth breathing retards. The faction war almost never makes sense because it only ever starts because of a world leader going absolutely full retard. Garrosh doing it was a least entertaining, but 90% of the cause behind the faction war when he was around was "Garrosh was a screaming retard and picked a fight with someone again", which makes it really funny when the Alliance sbould, by all rights, be able to sweep the Horde off the map in less than a week.
The faction war shit is how we got the utter shitshow that was BFA.
the faction war shit in BFA had insane amount of potential considering all the stuff going wrong and a huge sword stabbed into the planet. It was prime material for everything cool they had saved for future expansions and they shat the bed HARD. how could you fuck up that badly is anyone's guess.
>how could you fuck up that badly is anyone's guess.
Because the way they handled the start of it was stupid. >Open with the Siege of Undercity, hinting at Alliance aggression for once >Show the Burning of Teldrassil but waffle about trying to hide whether or not that was before or after Undercity, and what the actual cause might be >As everyone guessed, it was Sylvanas' fault and it happened before Undercity, meaning she started a war for no reason with none of the other leaders agreeing with her >As such half of the expansions is 'Sylvanas is being a bitchy cunt and started another world war for no reason', which massicely backfired since Sylvanas doesn't even have half the backing that Garrosh did >Writers quickly realize nobody likes Sylvanas so they shove in Azshara and N'zoth to quickly deflect the story away and buy time to start building into SL
If they had started early and pushed the concept that Azshara had secretly instigated the war and Sylvanas wasn't actually to blame and the War was part of a much bigger plot with both sides getting fooled, it would have landed significantly better. Instead we got "Horde commits war crimes but some of them feel sorry about it so the Alliance can't kill them all" again.
I would've preferred it if Sylvanas and Azshare were working together that expansion. Sylvanas had a pretty questionable track record long before BFA came along. The amount of hype BFA had going for it after those sieges was insane. And the writers fucked it up hard. It killed my interest in WoW. SL only sealed the deal.
>Faction war is the only interesting thing
No. It's as shit as "LET'S UNITE AGAINST THE RAID BOSS OF THE DAY"
WoW story has always been dogshit. It's a shame since the RTS did all the work and established nice characters that the dev of WoW immediately ruined out of spite for the RTS.
>Faction war is interesting >Waaaah blizzard what the fuck the Forsaken nuked southshore WARCRIMES WARCRIMES SYLVANUS MUST HANG
subhumans like you are why Sylvanascraft exists.
Xal'atath, was introduced in Legion as some kind of being inhabiting the Shadow Priest artifact weapon, was hinted to have been around since the days of the Black Empire and might have even been a minor Old God.
Broke free in BFA and possessed the corpse of an Elf before leaving to let N'Zoth do his stuff.
shes pretty known. originally a dagger but she escaped and possessed the body of a dead elf
She had a questline during the N'Zoth lead-up in BFA, at least.
Fair enough, but it's still weird how they namedropped her during Blizzcon like it was some big bombshell, then quickly moved on when nobody in the audience cared
Considering she and Alleria are the only humanoid characters associated with the void and they're both female, what are the chances that the Void will be characterized as the good guys?
If you're retarded and play shit theme park MMOs. Unironically Ganker is to fucking casual for the real king of MMOs and will make any excuse to claim it's shit when the entire thing is based off not being a troon MMO like WoW.
I love albion but also I fucking hate it. I love all the pvp shit, full loot and other meme mechanics. But holy shit the mobile game tier combat and sfx+artstyle really kill it, which is extremely sad.
They should just drop the idea that mobiletards are ever going to be competitive and that zergfests are ever fun and make the combat way more complex
I don't think the dialogue is the problem, I think it's the direction, they all sound like they're reading a script. There's no way professional voice actors would intentionally sound like this unless there's just shit direction.
THEY JUST NEED TO NUKE THE ENTIRE STORY AND START OVER NO CAP
EVERYONE FUCKS EACHOTHER AND MAKES A BIG FAMILY HAPPY AND THEN THEY ALL DIE AND WE TIME SKIP 1000 YEARS. NO MORE PUSSIFIED DRAGONS, THRALL DIES THE GOAT, THE PRIEST KING DIES, ALL THE DUMB NELFS DIE, ALL THE EDGELORDS DIE ALL THE LAME ASS CHARACTERS WHO ARE DRAGGED ALONG BY 2 BIT WRITES ALL DIE AND WE MOVE ON.
NEW STORY NEW ORCS THAT INVADE STORMWIND AND FUCK SHIT UP AND THE HORDE AND ALLIANCE FIGHT. BIG FUCKING BATTLE ATOP BLACK ROCK MTN AND THEN DRAGONS SHOW UP CLIFF HANGER. THERE WOW IS FIXED.
We'll just have to wait and see what they do with Karazhan Crypts
If they can make a good dungeon out of it and maybe finish up some of the dead questlines (like Eranikus) then I'll sell my soul to them
They're just going to slowly grind the game and the IP itself into dust as they bleed the remaining addicts for every nickel and dime they can get. Warcraft is going to die a slow, horrible, and excruciating death over the next decade or so as they go through that process.
It's still hilarious that even after all the sexist allegations and internal drama that Blizzard STILL okayed some insane quest about going back in time to make sure Alexstrasza got repeatedly gangraped for years, seemingly not expecting any sort of backlash despite all the nonstop negative publicity they had been getting.
>literally the only objective improvement to the game in years >blizzdrones find a way to hate it
I would've quit DF before levelcap if it weren't for the fun new flying. Overdose on insulin and die.
>Every issue in post covid US world is literally shitty writers no one asked for, forcing their uninspired and unwarranted story on established works, instead of making their own story
From WoW to Rick and Morty to Marvel
The "Horde" doesn't even have a Warchief anymore. Both factions have been (and are continuing to be) completely stripped of all their soul and identity. There's no point in even talking about the factions now since the current writers have destroyed the cultures of both factions leaving no real meaning or reason for any possible conflict, just puppets to get up and talk..... like...... this...... in regards to whatever dogshit story event they're pushing now, which is why the last cinematic was an Orc and Human discussing their feelings and emotional trauma, which flies in the face of all previous characterization of both races.

I'm happy for Lor'themar, always liked him and was glad Blizzard forgot about him for so long.
He only showed up briefly in MoP, claiming a bunch of crazy artifacts and then telling Sylvannas that he'll personally kill her if she raises a single Blood Elf during SoO
Does nothing for a while, comes back during Legion and gets some nightborne pussy

Once you enter the Horde you submit to Orcs and adopt their culture, period.

Show proof then. Bonus points if it's not the same four 5-year old screenshots where someone yells "trans rights" in chat.
Because it's you. You're the WoWfugees who jumped ship and then still talked non-stop about WoW while playing a different MMO. Nobody in FFXIV gave a flying fuck about WoW before ShB brought in Assmongoloid and the rest of his ilk.
It's not me. Every WoW thread has troons like yourself spamming about their dead troony game.

The WoW streamers are already rejecting his ass as he's trying to start shit with them for drama like he did Xenos, and they're calling him out on being a hypocrtical piece of shit for calling anyone who still streamed or played or even watched someone stream WoW a "scumbag" during the Blizzard fiasco during his original meltdown that preceeded him playing XIV.
The funniest drama was him basically saying that making fun of lalafells in FFXIV is the same as being an actual real-life racist. Like he was yelling and almost crying because of it.
>The funniest drama was him basically saying that making fun of lalafells in FFXIV is the same as being an actual real-life racist. Like he was yelling and almost crying because of it.
Than after getting dunked on by the entire FFXIV eceleb sphere he proceeded to make several videos of himself crying about his mental health problems (blaming it all on ADHD), the last one being of him watching a lecture about ADHD and just crying the entire video not saying a word.
He deleted them all then went back to his usual grift.

His fanbase is literally a cult, anon. He's like the alex jones of WoW loretards.
He made mediocre lore videos on wow, quit and said he'd never come back, went to FFXIV and was moderately successful as one of the few streamers actually paying closer attention to the lore in that game, got mad at his chat for making fun of lalafells, quit and said he would never go back, is now back at the original game he said he would never go back to.
>Raszageth Kinda Making Sense Though.....
Why is he talking like a zoomer? I know he's trying to sound #relatable to zoomers but does he not realize zoomers don't play WOW?
Do people actually give a shit about the story in wow?
Because it's the least of the actual problems, and yet I see people always talk about that instead the real dumb stuff instead of actual problems (patch by patch gearing, the amount of systems, how much time it wastes etc.)
Is it so strange to care about the world, in a game called 'World of Warcraft'?
>Start Dragonflight leveling today >Can't tell what gender anyone is, everyone sounds like a butch lesbian >Cringe reddit jokes abound
It just feels off, hopefully TWW fixes this shit (it won't)
how have you wow drones been held hostage by this game for so long, it's been around for 20 years, and the last time i heard people say it was fun was in like 2008.
I played WoW for over 10 years and I never knew what the story was about, it just isn't important at all. What matters is that it looks cool, that's where it all went wrong in the recent expansions, everything looks so fucking gay.
I know nothing about WoW story or lore, but I got sucked into a rabbit hole of some character (called Chromie I think) having quests about going back in time to fix shit. Chromie was making fun of a dragon that got repeatedly raped as a slave saying shit to the effect of "ohhhhhh we went back in time, don't tell the raped person about how we didn't fix her rape timeline"
And I'm just howling like a retard, laughing at the absolute moron who wrote this while believing that it would be a good addition to their videogame's lore
I have zero respect for anyone that plays World of Warcraft or watches streamers regularly. The guy you idolize wipes his fucking boogers on the wall and doesn't shower

Yeah fuck the world and chatacters just make everyone a nameless npc and give player hub to grind 24/7 like absolute losers.
Holy fuck why are people autistic and think that the devs should only pander to the content they enjoy.
Have you been under a rock? They brought back Metzen for writing the next story, they're copying FFXIV with the overarching story in the WorldSoul Saga they revealed at Blizzcon. This is the new main focus the game is going in, story.
there's plenty of western studios that can competently write stories about friendship
Blizzard is not one of them and it never has been
Warcraft has always been about cartoonish villains
only recently have people been asking them to write deeper, more thought-provoking narratives because of it's competitors
I hope Nerubians and the new Arathi humans become allied races. It would be nice to have some new races in each faction that have genuinely hated and continuously slaughtered each other for the past 1,000+ years.
I'd fucking love to play as a Nerubian but I think the humans look pretty interesting. There's probably not enough to really distinguish them from a normal human but if Highmountain Tauren got in then the bar is already pretty low.
What's the point of playing a Nerubian if you've removed everything that makes them a Nerubian in favour of generic anthros?
>add in an optional "regular nerubian" form that doesn't show your gear, basically like a druid shapeshift
There, everybody is happy.

It wasn't rape and was conceptualized well before Blizzard gave dragons canon "visages".
wasn't she bred by Deathwing?
That was Sintharia. The dragon from Heroic Twilight Bastion.
No, the Dragonmaw used the One Ring rip off to psychically enslave her and forced her and her consort to fuck non stop.
The fucking was so relentless that he actually coomed to death (his Skull was in vanilla Ironforge).
You're thinking of Sinestra who got scarred up from Deathwing sex.
The only real dragon rape I can think of is the Red dragon in the nexus. Her name escapes me, but like after you kill one of Malygoses wives he kidnaps her and brainwashes her into a new one.

Ah thats right it was Keristrasza. He even branded her ass.

Yes way. The people in charge of "nerd media" literally look to the Marvel films as a gold standard. They all want to make things like that.
I'd argue it has rotten your brains far more seeing how you're blaming Marvel for no reason.
Not really, most players don't even know why we fight Illidan
It's pretty obvious internally they think the dragons are unilaterally cool. It's the same kind of self fellation you see in nationalist propaganda, military propaganda, cop propaganda, etc
I was hoping this would be the death of WoW but blizzcucks are genuinely so fucking far gone they cannot think of doing anything else with their existence
captain planet isn't anywhere near as bad as anything in shadowlands or involving sylvanas' "morally grey" complex schemes that just resulted in her being a janny who everyone forgave for some reason. Also if you're playing an MMO for the story you're a fucking retard

Yeah you're definitely trying to get a jak reply with this kind of bait. This conversation is over.
You definitely have severe brain damage on top of being severely autistic.
nagger if you think that nobody played the game because of Arthas, Thrall, and Jaina's stories you're fucking delusional.
WoW killed the story sure, but it was definitely a draw for a chunk of the audience. Especially before the raidfags took total control of the game.
as someone who played a little bit of wow in 08 and never played again, the idea that anybody gives a singular fuck about arthas or thrall or jaina is unbelievable to me. it seems like something only a complete hikki autist with no grasp on reality would care about. basically the mmo equivalent of people who try to make a timeline for the mario universe.
nobody i know who has played a warcraft game has ever mentioned lore to me and some of these people were unironic homestuck readers
>if you're playing an MMO for the story you're a fucking retard
Why do you consider this a valid excuse for a multi-billion dollar company to have terrible writers on par with what I could write when I was a teenager?
MMOs CAN have quality stories; just look at FF14. And that shit is written by JRPG Nipponese people which are notorious for HORRIBLE storytelling-- if they can do it well, why the fuck can't Blizzard?
But Blizzard doesn't try. They just hire whatever dregs they hire because people like you just stay subbed no matter how bad it is
There's nothing that will stop Blizzard fans from eating absolute dogshit
It doesn't matter to them that there are better games out there, or that Blizzard hasn't been good for two decades or that they get milked in every way possible
They just keep on siphoning up that big steamy dump Bobby serves them
Nice job shoehorning your braindead homosexual opinion in a conversation about video game cinematics.

i dunno anon. the dragon aspects calling each other family is really out of left field. especially since we killed off a good percentage of the blacks and blues in living memory at the behest of the other dragons.
i could see kalecgos going for it since his flight is all but depleted, and alex is of course mommy and would like togetherness. the bronze and greens are off doing their own thing though.
the most egregious thing is what they did to my boy wrathion. i was a wielder of fangs of the father and one of my favorite moments of MoP was finding the little tea house in between valley and kunlai and him greeting me as his 'master assassin'
>i dunno anon. the dragon aspects calling each other family is really out of left field
Anon, they've always done that. Even when Deathwing and Malygos went mad. Alex saw killing them as a necessary tragedy, which in both cases it was.
Malygos did nothing wrong. Including the part he mindbroke a red dragon into his new bitch.
>Including the part he mindbroke a red dragon into his new bitch.

blizzard employees are completely out of touch with reality and think pitting every reddit meme into their game will make it more popular and somehow the writer landed on fast&furious page that day
I fucking despise validating chuds. I've hated their disruptive tourist homosexual asses from the second they started showing up during gamergate and the 2016 election and I think they're infinitely worse than SJWs because at least SJWs don't come to Ganker. But in this one instance I have to concede to them. Yeah, it's the hardcore leftists that are doing this.
I keep tabs on the WoW community across various social media sites even though I hate WoW now. I don't know why, I think I'm a masochist. But anyway there's a very vocal minority of super twitter SJWs who eat this shit up and always demand more. After the old guard left and the sexual harassment firings members of that SJW vocal minority ended up filling those spots which was probably on purpose because Blizz was on full damage control mode at that point so they wanted to score points through diversity hiring. Anyway now they're all circlejerking each other and writing thisgarbage because they grew up on Avatar and Steven Universe and think that everything should be like that.
>muh magnum opus
>clearly just lazy crap the checked out writers cranked out in half a day
But anon, it's Danuser's baby!
Dude on the right looking kinda zesty
what happened?
the writers who wrote the good stuff got old and married their fans, and their stories quickly became pussified, when the old writers were gone the new writers who took their place were even bigger soi guzzling pussies, (who have never had the experience of writing a story that actually has to be engaging enough to sell on its own merits, outside of Christie Golden who was a consultant and her work is middling at best) and so we began on the path we find ourselves on now
the story telling in the old games was actually good and powerful
Staff replaced with single young women and eunuchs. Many such cases.
It really should’ve ended after WOTLK.
WOTLK itself wasn't even better story-wise. It's the same shit for kids with big bad Lich King. Final cutscene with Tirion and Fordragon is so bad.
Yeah but it was the logical conclusion to what happened on Azeroth. They should've just gone into SPACE if you wanted to keep playing around with alternate dimensional enemies
Im just going to say it; white man power fantasy is kino.

TBC and Wrath ruined the story completely and left no chance for redemption
Vanilla also had some retarded changes for gameplay purposes (Forsaken and Night Elves being chief among them).
vanilla and TBC were closer to older games that didn't really give a shit about the story and the gameplay came first. Wrath is when it changed from not giving a shit about the story to making is cringey and badly written instead of just not giving a damn
TBC started the retarded story focus, dumbass.
does illidan pop up through every dungeon in TBC like arthas does in wrath? Or can you do most TBC dungeons without waiting for RP (keyword "most" in case you're a drooling retard who can't read)
TBC started the dumbfuck storylines in every zone, had you interacting with big lore characters on the regular, fucked the lore with the draenei and blood elves, and then kicked the dumbass story drama shit into gear with the Sunwell patch
>had you interacting with big lore characters on the regular
were ragnaros, netharion, c'thun and kel'thuzad not big lore characters?
>fucked the lore with the draenei and blood elves
so first it focused on the story too much now it's disregarding the story by focusing on gameplay? and again, this is how games used to be. they focused on gameplay first and story second. they choose those races based on reasons OTHER than story.
>kicked the dumbass story drama shit into gear with the Sunwell patch
coincidentally right before wotlk. interesting
you're just another deluded fuck who hyped up as wrath as gods gift to vidya and when it turned out it was just retail in the making you decided to cope and pretend it all started in TBC to avoid admitting you were wrong about something in your life for once
>you're just another deluded fuck who hyped up as wrath as gods gift to vidya
Are you fucking braindead? Do you not know how to read?
see, more coping. pretending it was all TBCs fault when 95% of the garbage in retail started in wrath
They've said a couple times now, even Metzen, that they've all grown up and had kids and want WoW to be a game their kids will like.
In other worlds, WoW is a kids game. Warcraft kind of always was since Warcraft 3. I've never met a single people that liked the game that was over 13 years old when they first played it.
Wow debuted as the normie mmo for people who weren’t interested in Everquest. Hardcores have never been their top priority until the recent mythic+ autism
rule of cool was thrown out the window and now we're disney
Sad thing is Rule of Cool can work if you’re not retards about it. There’s no reason why it has to ignore continuity
It happens when your writing staff becomes pretentious and thinks they're writing a work of art. It's why the last two animations landed with a thud. It's appealing to the wrong audience that don't give a fuck about the wow IP
that trailer was so damn good, howd they do it?
Not much happened. It was just cool imagery that was hard to nitpick. All their trailers were like that until Cata.
nah man, the music being a distorted version, the body language of arthas, the monologue, everything was just great
>Terenas' gravitas
>no spoken dialogue, just narration
>double meaning behind every line
>cool setting
>cool character
>cool character doing cool shit
The only trailer that even competes is WoD, and that would be way better if it was simply narrated before the "this was not our destiny" "times change" lines.
you don't want to know trust me
Okay, explain the picture somebody.
Arthas' soul was possessing Anduin as part of a boss fight in the end of Shadowlands
After the fight Arthas' soul pops out and just kinda evaporates
They forgive him and then move on in about 10 seconds
so this is how you kill what is already dead
It was so bad he doesn't say anything , make amends to those he wronged nothing just appears as a ball of light while Sylvanis monologues and vanishes him and Garrosh are lucky to be off this ride.
>Garrosh
I almost forgot how much of a clusterfuck his arc was and I can't believe thrall is still seen as lawful good after all this time
>THERE MUST ALWAYS BE A LICH KING
Ship of Theseus, ESG, DEI, corporate israelitery and Californian cultural rot.
wow writing was never good, they were just piggybacking off of warcraft 3
notice as soon as they ran out of wc3 plotlines they shit the bed
>it was, like….. all about friendship
Quick rundown?
>Dragon's go fuck off back to their island
>Something something real dragons break out of prison and fight titan-blessed dragonflights
>All the dragonflights get their problems fixed, Nozdormu no longer has to become evil/corrupted in the future thanks to the most annoying character in the game, blue dragons are united again thanks to Sindragosa's black ghost, Ysera is back (sort of) and Malfurion fucked off, even the black dragons get a new leader and are good again.
>Final boss was a Starscream-tier butt monkey with an axe and a personality that can only be described as "I'm Ragnaros but even more one-dimensional"
So the whole point of the expansion was to undo Cataclysm?
It also set up that Titans are morally grey (just like every other faction (including lovecraft void tentacle faction))
>It also set up that Titans are morally grey
Anon that's been a thing since Wrath.
And no, Old Gods aren't morally grey, they're still a bunch of pure evil space tumors.
No, one of them is a pretty elf lady (knife) now
>titans are morally grey since wrath
How? I recall their vanilla-wrath lore to basically be that they weren't good, or bad, but just went around shaping the universe because they could and it was something to do.
They didn't seem inherently evil or good, just some gods finding something to do to pass the time.
Damn, what chads
Anon is misinterpreting the Algalon "kill them all if the old gods get out" thing
>This planet has life that has evolved significantly
>This life managed to subdue and re-contain two Old Gods when our defenses failed or were corrupted
>Welp, time to nuke'em.
>time to nuke them
What?
Algalon was basically a scheduled task in the computer to check to see if the planet had corrupted itself too much
Runs the check, sees corruption levels are x%, sees that it is higher than the maximum tolerable levels programmed by the titans, and starts the script that'll nuke the planet
He doesn't give a shit until we beat him up and he realizes "oh these guys might be able to do something about the corruption, they're not all worthless."
Well yeah, that's what 'morally grey' means. I realize the term's been poisoned by years of misuse, but it's accurate here.
They're implacable bringers of order! That's sometimes good. Not always.
>titans
>morally gray because they hurt my feelings
Okay so...why were the dragons imprisoned? And why did Malfurion have to fuck off? Isn't he the protagonist?
Malfurion had to fuck off because Ysera needed to come back so that she could do nothing for three patches and then go back to the Shadowlands.
The writers just hate Malfurion because he's a night elf and night elves can't have nice things
But why does he have to fuck off for Ysera to come back?
something something ysera shadowlands something something a soul for a soul something something balance
So i assume this was the last thing that had him portrayed in good light, right?

I assume that's the black dragon guy that killed N'zoth, right?
Basically
>Back when the Aspects were made some of the Proto-Drakes didn't like it and rebelled, instead getting empowered by Elementals, one of each
>Their leaders got jailed by the Aspects and broke out 20,000 years later when one of them escaped and freed the others
>The Wind one was the one who escaped and feed the others, died in the process
>The Earth one decided to up and leave halfway through the expansion to go play with Void stuff
>The Water/Ice one waa a fence-sitter and changed sides because the Fire one was retarded
>The Fire one is retarded, and REALLY hates the Emerald Dream
>The Aspects want to plant a new World Tree in the Emerald Dream since it would let me get back their powers lost in Cata
>Fire Retard wants to burn down the tree
>Players kill Fire Rerard, Aspects get their powers back
>The End
So only one of the four was relevant and he's retarded? This is worse than fanfiction.
Three technically.
The Earth one, Iridikron, is working with Xal'atath so he'll show up again later. Maybe. Fuck if I know, Metzen's ignoring a lot of the last dew expansions.
>Their leaders got jailed by the Aspects and broke out 20,000 years later
Why not just kill them? Seems more humane than jailing them for eternity.
The plan wasn't to leave them there for so long, the Dragon Isles basically wiped every dragon's memories of the place when the War of the Ancients happened and the keepers never really woke up until the isles were falling apart.
how often does WoW get cutscenes because this looks like absolute shit, say nothing about the writing
There's easily thousands
They've been doing these types of cutscenes for over a decade now, and they all feature that awful dialogue where the characters pause after every few words.
Am I the only one who remembered 15 years ago when all the Dragon flights lost their powers? What happened?
This is literally them just now getting their powers back. They planted a new World Tree and Azeroth re-powered them.
Sorta. It's a filler expansion since BFA and SL shit the bed so hard. It's not really good but it's not as bad as those two, at least.
>Classic
>Can't have a new World Tree because Nature would never bless such a selfish act
>Modern
>YEAH BRO JUST PLANT A NEW WORLD TREE
Teldrassil wasn't blessed because Fandral was trying to be greedy and use it to restore the NElves' immortality (and in doing so make himself leader), not for the Natural purposes which World Trees were meant to be used for.
only retards play this slop
and only the biggest of retards play this slop for the story
Why the fuck they look like fucking sims?
Because that's what it's really all about, family
So why then even bothered with Ysera?
Because Danuser hates Malfurion and wants to push Tyrande as le epic badass leader, but genuinely can't write her and Malfurion at the same time.
I'm not kidding
She was fucking awful and useless in Shadowlands and Elune was retarded and useless
>TYRANDE YOU MUST CHOOSE BETWEEN LIFE AND VENGEANCE
>Empowers her
>OK I CHOOSE VENGEANCE
>NO NOT LIKE THAT
>Depowers her
>NOW TYRANDE YOU MUST CHOOSE BETWEEN LIFE AND VENGEANCE
I loved when she had that DBZ fight with Sylvannas
It was so fucking funny
I just want more Maiev.
Sex with Maiev.
Erm sweaty didn't you see the night elf heritage armor questline?
She gets school on demon information like the chud she is by a younger night elf
Honestly how the fuck is Tyrande still in the story. No one has liked her since WC3
Also
MALFURION WAS THE NATURE DRUID NOT TYRANDE. WHY IS SHE TALKING TO YSERA
Because she's a woman and he's just an irrelevant man.
cuckfurion gets cucked some more to have the millionth female faction leader
What happened to him? Why they made such ugly redesign?
gay homosexuals and trannys happened
you preferred the low poly one over CHADgos?
Raid Shadow Legends has better presentation than this shit the entire expansion looked like a chink mobile game Blizzard should be ashamed of themselves
So...do you rike it?
kek you right, they race-swapped belves with asians (just like in the movie).
I hope Danuser has an ego clash with Metzen that results in him resigning from Blizzard.
sounds like metzen clashed with samwise, a more talented person but didn’t get metzen’s israeli nepotism privileges
Well I could believe Samwise's reasoning in that video where he states that he wants to work on something he can actually own and give to his kids since he thinks he has roughly 25 more years to live (where he assumes he will live about as long as his father)...
Or I could believe this schizophrenic anon.
Hm...
His self-insert character was erased from of the game. Blizzard just completely forgot about his existence in Shadowlands.
>Blizzard just completely forgot about his existence in Shadowlands.
They actually didn't Tyrande taunts Sylvanas about it (right before Sylvanas nearly kills her) and Sylvanas later states that she hopes to find him in The Maw.
Isn't it a plotpoint that undead don't go to the Shadowlands when they die and instead get perma'd?
>"champion of muh queen"
Talk about some simp title
He had that title since vanilla, Anon
Thanks for confirming that WoW has always been garbage storywise then.
>"I'm an human (dead) but I will worship the elf bitch that didn't give a single fuck about my people till she got fucked, and FOR DA HOOOORDE"
He wasn't a retarded simp until he became Danuser's self-insert, back then he was just some questgiver who happened to have that title
No, it was just him because
One he was the only human to really hang out with elves and get that title
He specifically liked the Ranger general
Liked the horde because Sylvannas liked the horde
Nathanos was this badass forsaken hunter who would just fuck over the alliance characters in Eastern Plaguelands and became famous for it.
The implications based on his quests is much like the other Windrunner sisters, Sylvanas craved human cock and went out of her way to make this guy a ranger for Quel'Thalas despite Kal being like "fuck off humie".
Because Danuser was a Sylvanas waifufag, he basically turned the character into his insert, having him undergo a magic spell to give him a more "restored" undead form that happened to fucking look like Danuser himself.
i don't fault a man for wanting to be closer to his waifu
too bad he sucks at world building
He just made Nathanos unappealing with his insert writing. The characterization clashed too much with how people felt his original incarnation was like.
I fault a man for turning an existing character into his self insert instead of just inserting himself as a new character
nathanos didn't have a personality except one projected on him by the player base. iirc the breadth of his characterization was him being a quest giver/raid quest and a hunter trainer in cataclysm
>nathanos didn't have a personality except one projected on him by the player base.
Did you not do his quests?
He was a total asshole even accounting for being forsaken.
He was one of the first npcs to actively berate (You) for being the errand boy bitch you are.
From his dialogue and quests you could obviously gleam that he was;
>abrasive
>arrogant
>competent
>in a relationship with Sylvanas
>willing to kill to keep that secret hidden
Denuser making into a rude simp who looks like a goth guy was shitting on his character.
i don't remember that happening before danuser was in charge
I thought they just killed Nathanos's cousin and put his soul in his cousin's body.
They killed his cousin to restore his body with a magic mirror that Sylvanus supposedly used to remain looking fuckable.
Danuser got fired or demoted, he wasn;t even present at blizzcon
>he wasn;t even present at blizzcon
neither were the fans
WOW looks like Korean FTP now.
The writing gets worse and worse every expansion... and somehow people expect the next expansion to magically fix everything.
Their entire art team needs fired. The character designs are pozzed beyond belief. The target audience for this game should be men in their 30's but it looks like it's made for Tumblr trannies
The only people left in their "audience" are hopeless addicts no better than the street shitters in san fran and transvestites and the few real girls and children that they prey upon.
Interesting choice to make mentally ill adults who likely don't work your target audience instead of middle aged men with disposable income who've played your games since childhood.

Warcraft was always popular because it was goofy, particularly WC3 which people consistently say is the best Warcraft game. The notion that people loved a bygone super serious Warcraft universe is just insanely false and has to be repeated by a zoomer who wasn't alive during that period.
This is false. Warcraft had what’s called a sense of humour and charm, not a complete sissified aesthetic. Think about the band Gwar, a brutal aesthetic but its content comedic while still being gutsy.
It was never as serious as Warhammer or something but it still had a lot of themes that the current writers shit their pants at and are consistently going retconning and even rewriting dialogue to soften. References to fucking "implied lack of consent" with magic subjugation in random little snippets of dialogue got rewritten. If you really don't think the game has heen pussified beyond recognition, you aren't paying any attention to it.
I’ve been saying this. The Warcraft 3 jokey voice lines are usually said by some terrifying monster, hot amazon chick or a turbo-masculine hero. People conflate that with smooth-crotched, inoffensive and edgeless writing and artstyle
Stop trying to revise history you homosexual, having a sense of humour doesn't mean that the game didn't take itself seriously. The vast majority of Warcraft fans come from the WC2/3 era where's there literal artwork, manual artwork, in game depictions, cinematics, cutscenes etc of war crimes. When old school fans think of Warcraft they don't think of gay tranny centaurs or Hearthstone fan art, it's a dishonest narrative and the only people who push it are retards that get offended by what Warcraft used to be 95% of the time.
Units didn't have visible pupils and it made them cooler looking.
this was never official art btw it was just some shit made by a freelance artist.
all the men look like a woman made them for a twilight fanfic
>Rape for me but not even implied for thee
Bravo Blizzard.
It hurts. That shit freaked me out as a kid, it was awesome.
Crazy how Baldur's Gate had actual child murder, cannibalism, serial killers, actually horrific depictions of murder and many other crimes against humanity. Yet blizzard thinks they will get more players by sanitizing what little teeth their game has.
I remember they removed garosh from calling Sylvanis a bitch for resurrecting fallen soldiers not mindless zombies. His response was warranted but the new devs are such fucking manchildren.
Meanwhile Baldur's Gate 3 called me a cuck. I loved it. Give me more games where NPCs talk real shit.
Shut the fuck up, homosexual.
You're right but you're also a homosexual for praising BG3's writing.
Bg3 is the best rpg of the decade. Suck my dick tranny. The writing and gameplay are 10/10
t. hasn't played a CRPG in 10 years, if at all

>Baldur's Gate 3 called me a cuck. I loved it.

Blizzard don't write stories anymore, they write PR pieces that they hope gaming journalists will then jerk off to

>Writers have a final chance to prove themselves

>Should've stuck to ripping off final fantasy I guess
They're doing it with the upcoming expansion, where Hydaelyn- I mean, Azeroth is talking to them. HEAR, FEEL, THINK but in WoW it's SEETHE, TRANSITION, SUICIDE.
The most amazing part is that this actually is the best writing they've done, because at the very least it's just filler that doesn't make every single character involved into an utterly braindead retard like in SL.
I'll have you know last ending was a ripoff of Lord of the Rings
>ITS ABOUT FAMILY
lmao are you fucking kidding me?
won't metzen have to contend with, you know, the other 9000 retards ruining blizzard?
Even with metzen, tww is going to get humiliated by XIV: Beach Episode and it’ll be hilarious
>XIV's story after the fucking atrocious Post-EW patches
Even Dragonflight was better than "Extremely hamfisted FF4 references out the ass". If Dawntrail starts bringing up Ancients again I'm fucking quitting.
Can modern writers create anything that isn't just Marvel, being """mysterious""" by saying feelings for 20 minutes or turning everyone black and or gay?
American writers have all been corrupted by the Whedon writing style. Every fucking bit of media intended for mass audiences gets nervous if it hasn't made a quip, meta reference or some corny trope within 5 lines of dialogue.
Everything is shit, and I hate it.
American audiences want that. Every time I point out how horrendous a translation is (not just for japanese games, but in general) and how it constantly tries to "punch up" the dialogue and shit like that I'm met with hostility. Americans will bitch and moan about this kind of writing, but they will always, always prefer it over the alternative (literally anything else).
No we don't.
Metzen came back a month ago, the worldsoul saga was already planned before hand. it's going to be shit.
>Metzen came back a month ago
He's been back for almost a year, anon
I hate Dragonflight but love Mommystrasza.
Help
Please do not post any more AI art until the hand/finger situation is sorted out
Their faces is indeed something
>Metzen returns
>Samwise leaves permanently
Wonder what happened. They've been bros since the beginning of WC franchise. Without Sam, WoW's unique art-direction probably wouldn't have even existed.
Samwise posted a video about his retirement the other day
Boils down to "I've been at Blizzard for 30 years doing Blizzard's stuff. I love the work but I want to focus on my own stuff going forward"
i think Metzen talking about another 20 years of WoW probably what made him quit.
was hoping to see them trying to write a real ending to the WoW saga and move into something new but I guess I got too optimistic.
He explicitly mentioned not wanting to be tied down to Blizzard's existing stuff or new IPs in the future. He just wants to continue making his own stories (apparently he's released a number of illustrated stories in the past couple years) and he still draws album art for metal bands on the side
Guy was probably cashing a fat paycheque at Blizzard while doing basically nothing creative since HotS died
Reminder Sam wanted to work on WC3: Reforged and was told no
Then the dumbass that made the decision to focus on realistic graphics left before it flopped
I'm still mad
Cute girl, don’t care
She's like a 3.5/10 kek
A year and the game still the same gay shit that killed it to begin with. I knew it was a publicity stunt. He has no say on anything.
He's the one that changed Warcraft into it's modern form to begin with
What the fuck did you expect him to do?
I didn't expect him to do anything. I knew he was just going to be a plant. I'm just surprised that people think he's going to fix anything.
Kidults don't think rationally.
Just look at metzen he looks like he snorted coke from the stomach of ladyboys for years. He washed as fuck and looks like he aged 40 years since he left.
7/10, would marry
>3.5
Cmon man if she fell in love with you you would melt
thats a man
anon that's a random DEI hire that was a glorified HR manager over the abortion that ended up being Reforged
the problem is she replaced the face of Samwise, who was quite literally the soul and artstyle of warcraft from '91 to TBC
Reforged was a makework vanity project, of course the ole horse face change would make fans mad.
Reforged was made by low-tier noname QA testers trying to make a name for themselves as devs at the company.
At some point bobby got wind of the project and as like "lol no" and pulled funding.
Fun fact, they removed his icon in WoW the day he retired.
Now it's just a generic Warcraft 'W'
>they removed his icon in WoW the day he retired.
that says a lot about the company.
No they didn't?
thats fair. the lack of "metal" shit in wow has been grating for a long time which probably drove him nuts.
hopefully he comes back into wow in the future as a freelancer to help out in something, but i can understand his reasoning. needs some time to branch out on his own. all the best to him.
In his video, he said he'd probably still be doing the occasional work for Blizzard, mentioning how he had done some card artwork for Hearthstone and some other popular physical media stuff. He just came to the realization that he's getting up in the years and has basically spent his entire adult life working at Blizz, so he wants to focus more on his own individual projects, something he can leave for his kids after he's gone and they can do what they want with it.
Implicitly, he seemed to be recognizing that he had believed that the world he created for Blizzard was ‘his world’ but, upon introspection, he really had no authority over what he had made for the corporation (now Microsoft)
He doesn’t seem bitter at all, but he repeatedly brought up the value he places in artists ‘making their own worlds’
Also, his dad died and he’s feeling old and realized that he had spent his entire career (since 21) doing art for Blizz and maybe it would be good to do other things too
He’s still on good terms with Blizz but obviously wants more (not in terms of money but in some artistic/ego sense)
It seems like the best choice for him anyways, long as he's financially stable already. Hopefully we'll get more of his vision in a wider spread of projects now.
Sadly it hasn't felt like his art style for ages now anyway. We'll see how much worse it can get, but like half the assets in Dragonflight are completely rushed garbage anyway. The Emerald Dream zone looks like a pile of shit.
Samwise "unique art direction" has been absolute fucking shit since Cataclysm and has only gotten worse over time. It's just as funny as you retarded drones thinking that Metzen coming back will fix the writing, as if he wasn't responsible for garbage like WoD.
>Samwise "unique art direction" has been absolute fucking shit since Cataclysm.
might have something to do with most of the team moving onto other projects after WoTLK was released.
>drones thinking that Metzen coming back will fix the writing
he definitely won't. the game is beyond fixing but he most likely will try to make the most out of the cancer that's already in the lore now. that's the best he can do, realistically.
Metzen is the one who already brought cancer into the writing, that's the point. He's responsible for fucking Starcraft 2.

so i've heard. im more bothered by how much of a visual downgrade it is compared to 1. it looks like shit.
Looks like shit, everything blends together
Unit movement is incredibly smooth but the actual gameplay is shit because everything is decided in half a second
SC1's story wasn't great but it's like Tolkien compared to SC2
Samwise just posted a video yesterday. There's no drama, his dad recently died at 78 and he's 50-something and realized "if I have the same genetics, what if I only have 20 years left, and do I want to use them at Blizzard or make what I want?" His big lesson that he wanted to communicate to other artists and fans is to not live in other people's worlds, and go work on/create your own.
sound advice tbh.
and he's not wrong. too much talent in the world is being spent wasting away at these companies when it should be used to make new shit.
yeah i get you need the pay and impress your shitty co-workers and online ""friends"" but is it really worth it if all you're doing is throwing away everything that makes you unique just to blend into an already uninspiring real world?

What the fuck happened
They're saying all this as 25 murderhobos starting ripping apart a giant dragon man made of fire trying to get pieces of loot off to the side.
didn't they advertise like three expansions as "putting the war back in warcraft", specifically because that's something people had a problem with
what in gods name made them think THIS is what people want
>made them think
Their reasons for putting the WAR back in warcraft were retarded, and the way things happened were even more asinine. Odds are they read the complaints as people not wanting WARcraft, when people really just want decent stories. It doesn't have to involve forced conflicts between alliance and horde.
>putting the war back in warcraft
No? I think you might have watched the trailer from 5 years ago instead.
>MoP was marketed with the tagline "The villain of this expansion will be war"
>Most of the expansion is actually spent fighting the old god physical manifestation of war rather than dealing with war itself
>BfA was promoted as the big Horde vs Alliance expac
>The faction war gets phased out for more old god shenanigans
What will they replace "war" with in TWW?
I will never not be mad at Blizzard for forcing four expansions into one with BFA
>Kul'tiras
>Zandalar
>Azshara
>N'zoth
All of those could have been their own dedicated expansion.
>Azshara
I'm still disappointed that they didn't make Nazjatar at least partially underwater. I don't care what anyone says, Vashj'ir was fucking kino back in Cata and we needed another underwater zone like it
all these got shoved into a single xpac yet fucking PANDAS got a whole xpac for themselves
Unless there is actual internal faction conflict. I just assumed War Within was talking about being underground.
Basically the War WIthin Azeroth.
No, nobody wanted the stupid fucking faction war back besides literal mouth breathing retards. The faction war almost never makes sense because it only ever starts because of a world leader going absolutely full retard. Garrosh doing it was a least entertaining, but 90% of the cause behind the faction war when he was around was "Garrosh was a screaming retard and picked a fight with someone again", which makes it really funny when the Alliance sbould, by all rights, be able to sweep the Horde off the map in less than a week.
The faction war shit is how we got the utter shitshow that was BFA.
the faction war shit in BFA had insane amount of potential considering all the stuff going wrong and a huge sword stabbed into the planet. It was prime material for everything cool they had saved for future expansions and they shat the bed HARD. how could you fuck up that badly is anyone's guess.
>how could you fuck up that badly is anyone's guess.
Because the way they handled the start of it was stupid.
>Open with the Siege of Undercity, hinting at Alliance aggression for once
>Show the Burning of Teldrassil but waffle about trying to hide whether or not that was before or after Undercity, and what the actual cause might be
>As everyone guessed, it was Sylvanas' fault and it happened before Undercity, meaning she started a war for no reason with none of the other leaders agreeing with her
>As such half of the expansions is 'Sylvanas is being a bitchy cunt and started another world war for no reason', which massicely backfired since Sylvanas doesn't even have half the backing that Garrosh did
>Writers quickly realize nobody likes Sylvanas so they shove in Azshara and N'zoth to quickly deflect the story away and buy time to start building into SL
If they had started early and pushed the concept that Azshara had secretly instigated the war and Sylvanas wasn't actually to blame and the War was part of a much bigger plot with both sides getting fooled, it would have landed significantly better. Instead we got "Horde commits war crimes but some of them feel sorry about it so the Alliance can't kill them all" again.
I would've preferred it if Sylvanas and Azshare were working together that expansion. Sylvanas had a pretty questionable track record long before BFA came along. The amount of hype BFA had going for it after those sieges was insane. And the writers fucked it up hard. It killed my interest in WoW. SL only sealed the deal.
Faction war is the only interesting thing about this universe
Muh demons and muh greater threat = cringe
>Faction war is the only interesting thing
No. It's as shit as "LET'S UNITE AGAINST THE RAID BOSS OF THE DAY"
WoW story has always been dogshit. It's a shame since the RTS did all the work and established nice characters that the dev of WoW immediately ruined out of spite for the RTS.

xal atath aka knaifu
The shpriest artifact weapon from Legion? So a character only a handful of players actually remembers
shes pretty known. originally a dagger but she escaped and possessed the body of a dead elf
She had a questline during the N'Zoth lead-up in BFA, at least.
Xal'atath, was introduced in Legion as some kind of being inhabiting the Shadow Priest artifact weapon, was hinted to have been around since the days of the Black Empire and might have even been a minor Old God.
Broke free in BFA and possessed the corpse of an Elf before leaving to let N'Zoth do his stuff.
Fair enough, but it's still weird how they namedropped her during Blizzcon like it was some big bombshell, then quickly moved on when nobody in the audience cared

Nils, wow is isn't and will never le based and metal-pilled again. It's over.
If you're retarded and play shit theme park MMOs. Unironically Ganker is to fucking casual for the real king of MMOs and will make any excuse to claim it's shit when the entire thing is based off not being a troon MMO like WoW.
too bad its asymmetric dogshite
I love albion but also I fucking hate it. I love all the pvp shit, full loot and other meme mechanics. But holy shit the mobile game tier combat and sfx+artstyle really kill it, which is extremely sad.
They should just drop the idea that mobiletards are ever going to be competitive and that zergfests are ever fun and make the combat way more complex
Is this the one with discount Shiva?
She really is discount Shiva. She even copies the FFXIV ice thot's most well known attack.
>She even copies the FFXIV ice thot's most well known attack.
Hey dipshit, Diamond Dust isn't a XIV thing, nor is snapping for it.
jesus christ, tranny. do you consume any other media except jap diarrhea?
Why WoW looks like gay fanart these days?
The game hasn't looked good since WotLK, people who say shit like "it gets carried by its artstyle" haven't actually looked at it in 13 years.
>these days
Their pixar art started with MoP (first big graphical update).
Wasted all creative energies on porn. Mere husks now.
Fucking dialogue doesn't sound organic at all. It's more cheesy than a cheese factory.
I don't think the dialogue is the problem, I think it's the direction, they all sound like they're reading a script. There's no way professional voice actors would intentionally sound like this unless there's just shit direction.
FAMILIABROS WE'RE GOING HOME
THEY JUST NEED TO NUKE THE ENTIRE STORY AND START OVER NO CAP
EVERYONE FUCKS EACHOTHER AND MAKES A BIG FAMILY HAPPY AND THEN THEY ALL DIE AND WE TIME SKIP 1000 YEARS. NO MORE PUSSIFIED DRAGONS, THRALL DIES THE GOAT, THE PRIEST KING DIES, ALL THE DUMB NELFS DIE, ALL THE EDGELORDS DIE ALL THE LAME ASS CHARACTERS WHO ARE DRAGGED ALONG BY 2 BIT WRITES ALL DIE AND WE MOVE ON.
NEW STORY NEW ORCS THAT INVADE STORMWIND AND FUCK SHIT UP AND THE HORDE AND ALLIANCE FIGHT. BIG FUCKING BATTLE ATOP BLACK ROCK MTN AND THEN DRAGONS SHOW UP CLIFF HANGER. THERE WOW IS FIXED.
>THEY JUST NEED TO NUKE THE ENTIRE STORY AND START OVER NO CAP
its gonna happen, after the last titan
The Classic Team is going to save us trust the plan bro
I DONT KNOW ABOUT THAT ONE CHIEF
[/spoiler]if season of dicksucking is good then i'd give them a longer leash tho fsho
We'll just have to wait and see what they do with Karazhan Crypts
If they can make a good dungeon out of it and maybe finish up some of the dead questlines (like Eranikus) then I'll sell my soul to them
They're just going to slowly grind the game and the IP itself into dust as they bleed the remaining addicts for every nickel and dime they can get. Warcraft is going to die a slow, horrible, and excruciating death over the next decade or so as they go through that process.
Kingdom Hearts 3 lookin fire
It's still hilarious that even after all the sexist allegations and internal drama that Blizzard STILL okayed some insane quest about going back in time to make sure Alexstrasza got repeatedly gangraped for years, seemingly not expecting any sort of backlash despite all the nonstop negative publicity they had been getting.
Did they completely remove that questline, or edit it?
I forget about that fiasco.
They retconned her whole imprisonment so Alexstrasza never actually got raped by them
It was never rape to begin with.
This remains the biggest sin of Nu-Blizzard.
literal skill issue
get filtered old man
skill issue kys
Dragonriding is fuck but they had no right to strip it down to what it is now instead of letting people flying normally when not flapping/boosting
Millennials filtered by gameplay once again
>literally the only objective improvement to the game in years
>blizzdrones find a way to hate it
I would've quit DF before levelcap if it weren't for the fun new flying. Overdose on insulin and die.
No, adding THIS to the game is blizzards biggest sin.
KEEP YER FEET ON THE GROUND, TRANNY
too late for that
And the game has only gotten worse. Coincidence?
not really. dragonriding is the best addition since probably mog system
Fluke.
asmongold? more like asmonOLD haha lmao
more like asmonBALD haha bruuuuuuuhhhhhhh
More like Asmon-I killed my own mother and my teeth are literally falling out-gold haha.
he got veneers now. gotta keep up with the asmon lore bro
>Every issue in post covid US world is literally shitty writers no one asked for, forcing their uninspired and unwarranted story on established works, instead of making their own story
From WoW to Rick and Morty to Marvel
>Nelves abandoned Kalimdor for good, including the world tree of Hyjal and its moonwell (that is now property of Thrall).
ORCS CAN'T STOP WINNING
>Moonglade now belongs to Thrall
since when? They don't even have Orc Druids.
Hyjal isn't moonglade retard.
But it doesn't matter: The Horde owns Kalimdor entirely. THE HORDE WON BFA.
The "Horde" doesn't even have a Warchief anymore. Both factions have been (and are continuing to be) completely stripped of all their soul and identity. There's no point in even talking about the factions now since the current writers have destroyed the cultures of both factions leaving no real meaning or reason for any possible conflict, just puppets to get up and talk..... like...... this...... in regards to whatever dogshit story event they're pushing now, which is why the last cinematic was an Orc and Human discussing their feelings and emotional trauma, which flies in the face of all previous characterization of both races.
canonically thrall has always been a pussy boy that didn't act like a true orc
>saves the orcs
>invades Kalimdor
>makes the Horde more powerful than ever
>avenge orgrim by conquering lordaeron and silvermoon
>avenge orgrim by conquering lordaeron and silvermoon
??????
They are both Horde territory forever thanks to Thrall.
But you're right, Ner'zhul should take credit as well.
>Implying Orcs run the Horde now
Lor'themar's master plan to get a 7" tall purple amazon wife went off flawlessly and now he's the most senior member of the Horde's ruling council to boot, surpassing even Thrall in political power.
I'm happy for Lor'themar, always liked him and was glad Blizzard forgot about him for so long.
He only showed up briefly in MoP, claiming a bunch of crazy artifacts and then telling Sylvannas that he'll personally kill her if she raises a single Blood Elf during SoO
Does nothing for a while, comes back during Legion and gets some nightborne pussy
Does nothing for a while, gets married offscreen.
Metzen mentioned that Quel'thelas will be added to the EK worldspace in the second expansion in their trilogy I think
I hope they actually fix up the city and make it a nice place.
He's a giant cuck who betrayed Kael cauz he wanted to see orc cocks destroying belf pussies.
He does nothing but to follow the orcs orders.
Oh and Nightbornes look like troons.
Horde = Orc organization made by Orcs for Orcs.
Once you enter the Horde you submit to Orcs and adopt their culture, period.
Lorthecuck himself admitted that he feels lost without a Warchief telling him what to do.
>which is why the last cinematic was an Orc and Human discussing their feelings and emotional trauma, which flies in the face of all previous characterization of both races
Well, if your entire story was uprooted like that you'd talk about trauma too LMAO
tbf if they had stayed at war this entire time the story would be shit in a different way from repetition
I want Tyrande to peg me!
She's orc owned anon...
I don't care if we takes big meaty green cock in every hole every night. I just want her to hold me down and destroy my bussy with her strapon.
cute!
>literally 'it's about family'
lmao
Thread theme
Top video comment: “ When it turns out Blizzard is a horrible mess of a company” LMAOOOOOO
your trannygame is just as shit as wow
Zero trannies in the lore, zero trannies on the dev team. Try again, Blizzcuck.
>b-but the community!
Show proof then. Bonus points if it's not the same four 5-year old screenshots where someone yells "trans rights" in chat.
Why does WoW live rent free in troons head? Even the comments of their own videos with 2k views talk about WoW.
Because it's you. You're the WoWfugees who jumped ship and then still talked non-stop about WoW while playing a different MMO. Nobody in FFXIV gave a flying fuck about WoW before ShB brought in Assmongoloid and the rest of his ilk.
It's not me. Every WoW thread has troons like yourself spamming about their dead troony game.
Look I hate WoW as well but you are even more pathetic bringing your dead troony game in every thread.
It's because it's a console game that thirdies have access to. That's literally it.
you're not wrong
>b-b wowcucks
Can't you read you fucking troon? have a nice day for shilling a MMO, let alone a weeb MMO that is just a bad WoW clone.
Oh and you will NEVER be a woman
AI generated post
you're arguing with brazilians and other brownies
Uh oh, favela monkey having a little melty. Don't forget to buy the next WoW expansion, now with an official transgender race, while you keep seething about a game that has literally zero LGBT content.
Wait there’s gonna be a new raid right? With Iridikon and shit?
There is no hope for WoW's story. It has been irredeemable shit for years. Give me Panda pussy.
How come that bald guy is always in blizzard cinematics? is he a character in the game?
So uh... I'm probably the last N'Zoth copist in existence.
Any material that might show that he's still alive and still working on his master plan somehow?
Uh but Pyro aka /ourloreguy/ says the story is good now!
>got BTFO by the FFXIV community for the retarded grifter that he is
>takes a break for "mental health reasons" (aka because his asshole started bleeding because he lost even his biggest fans)
>goes back to WoW in hopes that Blizzcucks simply forgot everything that happened with him before
>goes back to WoW in hopes that Blizzcucks simply forgot everything that happened with him before
HAHAHAHA no
>Oly a week back into WoW and already starting drama
>Talked shit about another WoW streamer, trying to cause another Xeems situation most likely
>Said streamer btfo's him
https://twitter.com/PandaTVoce/status/1724284879024841106
The WoW streamers are already rejecting his ass as he's trying to start shit with them for drama like he did Xenos, and they're calling him out on being a hypocrtical piece of shit for calling anyone who still streamed or played or even watched someone stream WoW a "scumbag" during the Blizzard fiasco during his original meltdown that preceeded him playing XIV.
can I get a QRD on him? I remember seeing posts about him and the Jailer but idk
The funniest drama was him basically saying that making fun of lalafells in FFXIV is the same as being an actual real-life racist. Like he was yelling and almost crying because of it.
>The funniest drama was him basically saying that making fun of lalafells in FFXIV is the same as being an actual real-life racist. Like he was yelling and almost crying because of it.
Than after getting dunked on by the entire FFXIV eceleb sphere he proceeded to make several videos of himself crying about his mental health problems (blaming it all on ADHD), the last one being of him watching a lecture about ADHD and just crying the entire video not saying a word.
He deleted them all then went back to his usual grift.
>people who play xiv ask him to not stream with mods on because they dont want him to get banned
>has a massive autistic shit fit about it
i really dont know how anyone could even watch him after that
>i really dont know how anyone could even watch him after that
His fanbase is literally a cult, anon. He's like the alex jones of WoW loretards.
He made mediocre lore videos on wow, quit and said he'd never come back, went to FFXIV and was moderately successful as one of the few streamers actually paying closer attention to the lore in that game, got mad at his chat for making fun of lalafells, quit and said he would never go back, is now back at the original game he said he would never go back to.
remember when his name was chinglish and he was actually kind of funny at times
man his melties were fucking funny
did he screech like a retard in ffxiv too?
>Raszageth Kinda Making Sense Though.....
Why is he talking like a zoomer? I know he's trying to sound #relatable to zoomers but does he not realize zoomers don't play WOW?
What did Pyro mean by this?
Imagine humiliating yourself like this for money.
For only 10k views too.
the metzen effect
>Ending cinematic.
But the raid has an entire post raid questline and there's still 3 patches of story coming.
> her game doesnt bother finishing the story in the x.0 patch
>people genuinely replying in an eceleb thread
WoW players are fucking stupid as shit.
The king of wow, filtered by an early boss in Alexander savage. Never forget
Don't forget that some of the very best raiders that WoW ever had took more than 5 months to clear TOP in FFXIV, even with tons of cheats.
negative. echo is the world first TOP clear because they had 8 streamed raiders with no addons
Didn't they have this exact scene at the end of Cataclysm?
My fantasy is to win 500 billion dollars in the lottery and then use it to buy Blizzard, then fire everyone who works there
Why would anyone play Night elf?
No idea. They are designed to be Horde punching bag/orc cum dumpster since WoW.
Imagine the smell. I could be in that picture forever
They're cool, simple as.
Is it so strange to care about the world, in a game called 'World of Warcraft'?
it's over, isnt it?
>Shit game has a shit cinematic
Woah. Now fuck off.
maybe it wasn't the loot but the family we made along the way was the real raid gear
nagger
BUY THE PIG
>Start Dragonflight leveling today
>Can't tell what gender anyone is, everyone sounds like a butch lesbian
>Cringe reddit jokes abound
It just feels off, hopefully TWW fixes this shit (it won't)
Ok tranny.
Suck nagger cock, homosexual, I hate trannies
Yet you play their games. Curious.
You talk like you're straight from reddit, have a nice day nagger lover
Dilate WoWfag.
Wait till the faggy centaurs zone
how have you wow drones been held hostage by this game for so long, it's been around for 20 years, and the last time i heard people say it was fun was in like 2008.
Why do they all look gay?
Should I buy the new expac since it includes DF or should I buy Sandrock
Sure, cut your dick off while you're at it freak.
Who hurt you?
Trannies who ruined WoW.
I played WoW for over 10 years and I never knew what the story was about, it just isn't important at all. What matters is that it looks cool, that's where it all went wrong in the recent expansions, everything looks so fucking gay.
>What matters is that it looks cool, that's where it all went wrong in the recent expansions
>recent
You mean the last 7 expansions.
Yea that's pretty recent to me, I'm old now.
test
>what do you mean you want to count my fingers anon
Bitch broke her wrist
Any of you guys rolling on the Onyxia private server this weekend?
of course not, thirdie.
That middle guy looks so bad. How do you end up with such fucked up human faces?
>The real dragonflight was the family we made along the way
bros, i'm literally crying over here. Will we ever experience such warcraft kino again?
I arenas and flying mounts were the first cancer cells.
Burning Crusade was patient zero, but you're not ready for that conversation
>people are excited for this shit
can't believe I wasted 10 years playing this garbage
should've realized the direction it was going during cata
I'm glad I dropped WoW when they nerfed the Cata heroics into the ground
I still read up on the lore though. Hard to look away from a trainwreck.
I know nothing about WoW story or lore, but I got sucked into a rabbit hole of some character (called Chromie I think) having quests about going back in time to fix shit. Chromie was making fun of a dragon that got repeatedly raped as a slave saying shit to the effect of "ohhhhhh we went back in time, don't tell the raped person about how we didn't fix her rape timeline"
And I'm just howling like a retard, laughing at the absolute moron who wrote this while believing that it would be a good addition to their videogame's lore
Chromie is canonically a tranny btw
Amazing
HotS canon overrides nu-WoW canon.
Yo, why didn't you guys tell me Blizzard made a new Captain Planet game?
I have zero respect for anyone that plays World of Warcraft or watches streamers regularly. The guy you idolize wipes his fucking boogers on the wall and doesn't shower
Most people aren't even that disgusting when they are children
The opinion of someone who doesn't shower matters not to me
if blizzdrones and asmongoloid fans jumped off a cliff the world would instantly become a better place
Do people actually give a shit about the story in wow?
Because it's the least of the actual problems, and yet I see people always talk about that instead the real dumb stuff instead of actual problems (patch by patch gearing, the amount of systems, how much time it wastes etc.)
Yeah fuck the world and chatacters just make everyone a nameless npc and give player hub to grind 24/7 like absolute losers.
Holy fuck why are people autistic and think that the devs should only pander to the content they enjoy.
Have you been under a rock? They brought back Metzen for writing the next story, they're copying FFXIV with the overarching story in the WorldSoul Saga they revealed at Blizzcon. This is the new main focus the game is going in, story.
its not the "main" focus, but yeah, metzen wants to prove us something
Why is "feelings and friendship, japan" unironically more enjoyable than the modern western stories about feelings and friendship
there's plenty of western studios that can competently write stories about friendship
Blizzard is not one of them and it never has been
Warcraft has always been about cartoonish villains
only recently have people been asking them to write deeper, more thought-provoking narratives because of it's competitors
I hope Nerubians and the new Arathi humans become allied races. It would be nice to have some new races in each faction that have genuinely hated and continuously slaughtered each other for the past 1,000+ years.
the arathi are just humans, but id like to play a nerubian too
What's the point of playing a Nerubian if you've removed everything that makes them a Nerubian in favour of generic anthros?
Don't ask the furries to explain their logic, you'll never get a real answer.
I'd fucking love to play as a Nerubian but I think the humans look pretty interesting. There's probably not enough to really distinguish them from a normal human but if Highmountain Tauren got in then the bar is already pretty low.
>add in an optional "regular nerubian" form that doesn't show your gear, basically like a druid shapeshift
There, everybody is happy.
vulperas will save world of warcraft
i hate how all the quests in dragonflight are like
>my parents refused to come to my gay wedding. go out and kill them and bring me their heads as proof.
If you're going to tell lies on the internet you could at least try to put some effort in them.
