This is the face of WoW.

These are the faces of evil.

Her being a lothar is so fucking lame. The whole game is fucking beyond gay at this point and the original magic is just gone.

>>713262657
yes

I was thinking about resubbing a few months ago and then remembered that thing and that disney looking onions dwarf

>>713262719
Why would niggers harbor hate against a prog rock band??

Faerin has some nice massive hangers though. Im not sure even bringing back Metzen and the rest can save WoW at this point.

you know, even when I took breaks from wow, I still followed its story. but not anymore. I really have no idea what has been going on since early shadowlands
is anduin ok? is jaina pro war or anti war? she changed a bunch

Is it morally wrong to play Classic?

Reminder that the Lich King is coming back for the World Soul Saga finale which is why they are featured in the Lore Walking. They will also reconcile the nonsense of Shadow Lands in that expansion as well.

>>713267913
To troll people with.

Is WoW the most hated and least popular game of all time? Nearly every opinion about it seems to be overwhelmingly negative. The game has turned into a political campaign, and we all hate that. Which is why we all love Final Fantasy XIV, the world's greatest and most popular MMO. It's based and redpilled and has no fags, trannies or black people. Based! Zoe Quinn and Five Guys/In N Out lost. We won.

>>713268125

And their isolation and stagnation is actually an important part of the story and themes of that expansion, they didn't just drop it in there and not bother explaining why they've been hidden all this time without a trace. With this it doesn't even make sense because this seems like an imperialistic empire that ought to have done everything to spread.

>>713268560
Nah, Baiken is cool as well. That's needed too.

>>713264515
Her arm is missing and she wears a shield on the stump. There's a side quest where the blacksmith in her underground town offers to make her a prosthetic arm, and she refuses. She refuses a working robot/magic arm replacement because of disability pride. Not even kidding.

No one likes this character. They will force it on you, but it will not stick much like Pelagos the tranny ghost becoming the new afterlife god-of-gods sorting all souls, nobodycliked that and nobody cares.

They really did this character dirty in this cinematic. Apart from the dumb haircut she looks very normal in the game.

You can get within 5-10 item levels of a mythic raider or mythic+ grinder by simply being diligent with Delves one day a week.

is warcraft the only major fantasy setting that features spaceships and shit but has its major battles still fought with swords and axes and shit with no real explanation?
dune has that shield thing, but in WoW it's just... yeah we got space travel but nobody ever developed like a laser gun

>>713269042
Looks strikingly similar to Prava, thr black leader of the church of Inarius in Diablo 4. Nobody wants this. Chinks don't want this. Whites don't want this. It's not drawing in the tiny black audience. What the fuck.

>new FRESH vanilla plus server launching in a month
I'm going home, again!

>>713268891
This character is becoming much more prominent than the tranny god though, in the books they're already romantically pairing her with Anduin so she'll likely be the next ruler of Stormwind once she marries him and becomes Queen.

>>713268891
I actually don't mind her in-game, that's like the only time it comes up, otherwise she's just played as a cheerful friendly girl with a posh British voice.

>>713269173
after the 10th time we can stop calling re-releases of vanilla "fresh"

>>713269293
>>btw elven ears
All of the humans there in Hallowfell have semi-pointed ears because they interbred with the high elves enough that virtually all of them have some elven ancestry

>>713269379
But it is fresh, they've actually put time and effort into reworking the game.
(something Blizzard has no confidence in their ability to even attempt)
I don't know if it's going to be good or not but I'm looking forward to learning.

They were a fleet of ships that got sucked in a whirlpool and ended up in an underground cavern. That cavern has a giant gem in the roof of it that radiates holy light which they revere religiously, and they also war constantly with underground murlocs and nerubians next door. They were trying to find a way out back to the surface but adventurers made it obvious how to get back via the Earthen coreway. Nevermind that the Arathi and Earthen had a trade agreement, and could've asked about passage to the surface at any time, so now Arathi individuals go on expeditions up to places like Siren's Isle now

>>713262141
I genuinely hope Aethas kills Xalatath.
She already broke him by destroying Dalaran and now she's going for the Sunwell.

>>713269778
Fleet of ships from where?

I am stunned to read this thread and see that people still care about WoW lore after all the butchering its had in the past decade.

>>713269271
It's basically the same, campaign quests, they voice some of the daily quests, and now have a dedicated extra questline. If they go farther and she exists outside of this expansion it'll be bad.

The actual granny general of the Arathi is way cooler, I wish she was the voice acted star of the show.

>>713268423
That's right.

Is there a crossover?

>>713269942
They left the Arathi Highlands castle area following a religious vision calling to the sea the same time ogres were overrunning the castle area in the Eastern Kingdoms. This works in-game, there is a dock area with Naga & a sunken ship there with one of the earliest trinkets you can get in cataclysm levelling. Arathi Highlands is deserted because the kingdom effectively went on pilgrimage and migrated underground.

>>713269856
Do the modern wow writers even know he still exists?

>>713270224
why are you giving that guy a serious answer?

>>713263778
Anduin is ok, has been moping since shadowlands but has a new side chick to get his light groove back.
Jaina is still the untouchable Mary Sue set up in BFA, they had her and the other notable mages decide randomly that dalaran was always shit and the kirin tor saving the world on multiple occasions was a fluke, while kel'thuzad was the natural result of having a place of learning so they're disbanded forever

Laughing at Ethereal fags and copers who think they wouldn't hamfist Shadowlands slop back into the game.

>>713270224
>Arathi Highlands is deserted because the kingdom effectively went on pilgrimage
Uh no, it's deserted because the kingdom of Stromgarde collapsed, long after the Empire of Arathor split apart into the modern human kingdoms. Stromgarde had been the capital of the Empire but was just another kingdom after it split apart, it was still around circa Warcraft 2 and was part of the Alliance. We took it back in the Battle for Azeroth expansion and reestablished it.

>>713270852
does this nigger even still exist? WoW used to ignore him because his OP powers are awkward

ACTUALLY CHUDS they only do this with safe franchises. Games like Concord get immediately canned, never released. They use the fact that you ever like one thing, one game, to try and sell you a box of nigger turds.

>>713270224
After they left the Highlands they founded a giant empire and never told anyone, it was a fleet from this empire that sank and turned into the hallowfall guys, not straight from the Highlands. They mention an emperor a lot and try to make a portal back there but the last mage gets assassinated the moment he remembers how.

>>713270916
it's so funny to see this shit in fantasy settings when our real world shows that this sort of critical engagement with your own history is not a universal aspect of culture

I guess Arathor will be the continent in the LIGHT BAD xpac?

>>713267684
I wonder who is more uncomfortable, the people who have literal pinworms, anal leakage, several STDs, and the possibility that hell is real and that there's a reserved seat for you there, or normal people who don't engage in literal sodomy?

Even more galling is that they dusted off Danath to spread this shit message. In a broader sense why is it always the males in WoW that have to "do better" and learn tolerance?
The female characters are fucking psychopaths yet you rarely, if ever, see them say stuff like this to shit on their own history and achievements.

>>713271080
>or normal people who don't engage in literal sodomy?
99% of them already left the game, they are either coping on classic or straight up gave up on western games

>>713270682
No she gave that up and is back in holding pattern. No major deaths this expansion unless you count a bunch of side characters like that one goblin in SI7 and one of the mages on the council of six. The new trend is to retire then instead, magni got de-blinged and retired, greymane retired after the most retarded team up with the forsaken gave him a headache, malfurion did some weird deal to hang out in shadowlands in order to resurrect ysera so he and tyrande retired.

Yeah the fey region was drying up so elune rubber-stamped a shitton of elf death to get numbers up, but all the souls were being diverted to super hell so they died for nothing.

>This post was made by a Hots player.

>>713272780
The worst part about this is we get hot goth chromie right after the reveal
So it's got no fanart or anything because the characters tainted
Fuck blizzard.

>>713272646
I wish mythics weren't speed runs. I don't want to study optimal routes to go for each dungeon in order to run them.

>>713272547
Apologies for Macchi's behavior. You see, he has been mentally broken for a few years now. It would be best if you just ignore him.

>>713271361
It was a tranny and everyone hated them but Blizz couldn't fucking help themselves.
What a joke of a company.

>>713272878
I hate how they retconned Murozond. He should always be the inevitable end of Nozdormu.

>>713272646
you're still giving money to the subhuman hrt ridden fags at blizz

I have no idea about world souls and void lords and whatever
but I guess they're supposed to be behind everything? shit like old gods and titans are small fries?

>>713272720
That exact reason is why I expect them to shutter Blizzard.
You don't need to make the worldsoul saga, you can just stop right now, fire the entire team, pay literally one single person to release a yearly update with events using rehashed content that already exists. Nobody will unsub because they're fucking retards.
You're spending 99% less and making the same money.
Will continuing this bullshit trilogy bring in new players? If not, it's a bad idea to fund it.

>>713272646
yess bro wow isn't pozzed what are you talking about?
dude are you fucking READING? that's some pussy shit for nerds bro read a book haha or maybe work out so you can get these GUNS like me and maybe get some bitches haha
aight i'm out. i'm gonna be smashing some dee-gees (dungeons, for the nerdy losers that don't know that) with the boys
later faggots

>>713272964
no bro Xhe uses tokens
that way instead of giving money to blizzard
someone else gives them even ...more?
hm

>>713273026
exactly, blizzard never loses

>>713271361
pelagos is ftm ghost, who was a woman while alive but became a male kyrian ghost. He tells you this during one of the convos when you return to the quest hub for kyrian tor. Pelagos then becomes like the ultimate god of the afterlife, replacing the one who was rendered inert or died by the jailor, becoming the god that sorts souls. Pelagos isn't the first regardless, I don't know which was the first, but i know chromie was a trans dragon before pelagos came about. Chromie being the bronze dragonflight dragon, the little gnome.

>>713272878
WoW has kind of gone the way of ff14 these days where 90% of the porn is just people commissioning art of their character with a dick and/or fucking dogs.

>>713261718
Fpbp

>>713272972
void soul... is only...
the beginning...

>>713268551
additionally, considering the file name, its very recent, likely from wow classic. He's just trying to muddy the waters, cause he's a faggot shill.

>>713271361
pelagos becomes a giant dilator

>>713270916
Didn't Danath Trollbane personally kill like ten gorillion Trolls and hang their tusks over his mantle? What is this shit dude.

>>713272972
World Souls are essentially unformed gods.
So the formed gods compete to make the new gods into one of them. The Void got to Azeroth first, and the Titans tried to take it from them.
Now the Titans are waiting for Azeroth to mature enough to become a titan.

>>713270916
This is why social commentary needs to be very carefully threaded. Just haphazardly transplanting very modern ideas centered around specific real life countries into a high fantasy game with its own specific lore and just swapping out names is awkward, clashes with the existing characters, concepts and story, and just in general sticks out like a sore thumb.

All the foot fetish stuff with Xalatath feels weirdly corporate.

>>713273465
trolls aren't human

>>713272997
"The World Soul" saga just feels like filler expansions waiting room until they develop Classic+ to monetize the fuck out of that

They made bank in 2019 from Classic and I believe there is still an untapped market for all the streamers to return for an official Classic+ for 2-3 years before it all dries up for good

>>713273479
what is "the void"

The writing died after Legion. Everything is just so unbelievably lame.

>>713261607 (OP)
When globohomo panders to disability and retardation, that means the demographic is projected to become a majority. I guess the telemarketing gayop and mystery goo injections are going to take their toll eventually...

>>713271942
You aren't wrong, there are a lot of cases of deaf people who could actually be cured from their condition but refuse the treatment. This is due to their connection and support from the disabled community and feeling like they would be betraying them in some way, there are also disabled people that will "other" disabled people that actually do get the treatments because being disabled doesn't make you a magically nice person.

>>713273669
>until they develop Classic+
They might actually be working on it considering how triggered their lawyers seem to be by Epoch.

>>713273658
Woah now we can't have that kind of racial animus in World of Warcraft™

>>713273727
Basically there are 6 cosmic teams, and each one is continuously trying to dominate the others.
>Order (titans, and presumably everyone on Azeroth. Azeroth itself is still maturing and hasn't chosen a team yet)
>Chaos (not much is known what they're supposed to be. Sargeras conquered them.)

>Light (Nothing is known about the realm of light, but the Naaru are their denizens. It's unknown of there are light lords)
>Void (Old gods are seedlings used by Void Lords to herald the coming of Void Lords, but our Old God's went rogue)

>Life (unknown, but Elune is one of their pantheon)
>Death (Shadowlands and Eternals)
Each God seems to have a unique power. Azeroth seems to continuously foster free will to anyone who lives on her. Hence why the Old God's went rogue and the descendants of titan constructs fighth for themselves instead of their programming.

>>713271248
>has enough leverage with a stump shield to knock out a trained soldier
>is able to fight close range with a fucking lance

I thought Danuser left Blizzard? But it seems his stink is still around, curious.

>>713269293
>In what kind of dumpster do you live to call this shit "normal"?
In Muttopia this probably registers as "better than normal" -- you can't even blame them, they are la-creatura-class debtcattle.

>>713269942
So in Warcraft, the Empire of Arathor was the first great human power on Azeroth, a few thousand years ago, it covered most of the Eastern Kingdoms except for Quel'thalas and the troll controlled areas. They warred with the trolls and were allies with dwarves and the high elves, from whom they learned arcane magic and took up worship of the Light. Its capital was Strom, now Stromgarde. Eventually the Empire weakened and split apart into the seven human kingdoms; Stormwind, Lorderon, Gilneas, Kul Tiras, Stromgarde, Alterac and Dalaran. The last descendent of the ancient Arathi royal bloodline was Anduin Lothar, so it's fully extinguished now.

UNTIL Blizzard needed a new major faction for the mysterious unknown continent. So now in the backstory, an expedition of Arathi, consisting of both humans and high elves, during the Empire's era left Azeroth and wound up on the unknown continent, and were unable to return because of permanent storms surrounding it. They established the Arathi Empire there and have thrived ever since, completely unknown to the Eastern Kingdoms. A few decades ago, a fleet of them were caught in a whirlpool and wound up underground in Khaz Algar, where they founded Hallowfell. The new Arathi Empire appears to be extremely devout in Light worship and kowtow to their emperor. So they are being set up as future bad guys, probably after the Worldsoul Saga trilogy of expansions.

>>713273026
wow tokens are the funniest cope

Somehow the Defias and Scarlet Crusade returned for the 3rd time

>>713271802
>Defias: Semi-defunct faction of brigands and thieves from Westfall originally founded by tradesmen screwed over by Stormwind
>Scarlet Crusade: Semi-defunct faction of extreme anti-undead crusaders centered near the former Lorderon

>I have autism, therefore any person who uses prosthetic limbs is a coward and a traitor.
Well he is correct. He does indeed have autism.

The Red Dawn are human elitists.
They should be called the Sons of Garithos.

>>713274732
hu man bad

>>713271248
Why do they spin around like they're standing on a lazy susan? Is this WIP or a released cutscene?

>>713272214
SCARLET Crusade, anon. They always wore red.

>>713273564
foot fetish is safe horny shit

>>713274827
>is this-
<Garrosh_My_Planet_Needs_Me.mkv>

So they mention muh internment camps but not the orcish horde invading Azeroth and taking no prisoners?

>>713271361
>In his mortal life, Pelagos presented as a woman, though he doesn't remember what his name or race was. He never felt that his body represented who he was inside and struggled with that identity his whole life. After his death, his soul was sent to Bastion and was reborn as a kyrian with a male form. He was greatly excited by this, as it meant that his appearance finally matched who he was on the inside. He has noted that his mortal family likely wouldn't recognize him anymore.

>>713261607 (OP)
Why doe she have a yakub head bulge?

>>713274820
The Defias have goblins and ogres and murlocs in their ranks

Lmao, all this shit is happening because Blizzard's new CEO wanted to exist in WoW and be The Coolest, The Baddest, The Holiest, The Rightest bitch.

>>713275186
You're overdoing the "muh self insert!!" routine.

>>713272567
anduin cant die
unless they turn this into multiverse what if bullshit

>>713274827
The cutscenes they choose to focus on are bizarre.
The Gallywix cutscenes, for example, they worked out the ass to make look good.

>>713275257
no hes really not
its all these fucking people do and it ruins everything
look at comics
that one faggot who put himself in spiderman so he could fake fuck MJ and cuck peter
or how kathleen kennedy has burned down multiple franchises because she absolutely must have brunette girlboss be the center star

>>713275425

>>713275186
And you'd think all that if it was a male character

dont forget the jew nigger who self inserted himself into powerpuff girls to fuck a first grader

She seems like a worse version of med'an, but thus time the writers couldn't realized how bad they looked and kept them in.
Is she also a devs self insert? Is she waifuing a faction leader too.

>>713271942
I knew that deaf people can turn militant, but I didn't know other disabled people would engage this retarded behaviour. I do have a speech impediment and I'd never want it to be mistaken as "part of my identity". There's coming to terms with disability, finding peace and where possible a solution ... and then there's this profound mental illness.

No one who truely suffers will ever turn it into an "identity", the best modern example is dysphoria vs troonship.

>>713261607 (OP)

>>713275647
>Is she also a devs self insert?
Maybe but unknown.
>Is she waifuing a faction leader too.
Yes. Anduin is having a bitch moment and he gets inspired by her multiple times. It's flagrant and disgusting. She's the worst thing the writers have done in years.

>>713261607 (OP)
Wow, xhe gets to have a byakugan!?

>>713274901
That little tidbit would complicate the narrative.

>swings around a lance like its a sword
these are the kinda retards that gave us the half-life 2 shotgun.

the voidlords are so boring
i didn't expect much, but they really were as uninspired as they could be

They're not using that term correctly. Everything in that cosmology is real in the context of the setting. They should have said the material plane or something like that.

>Legion and anything after it not in the onions era
Legion was already woke as shit, at least BFA was fun to play because of how absurd the powerlevel had become. Then Shadowlands made everything slow and clunky again and I stopped playing.

>>713271717
This is literally worse than vanilla SWTOR
Bioware has never made a cutscene worse than a WoW cutscene, unless you count the shitty dialogue making it worse.

a year of mediocrity

We are one step away from this becoming completely true. We are just waiting for Darnathrius to make his big return and drop the reveal... just you wait!

>>713278026
WoW is on 20 month expac schedule now. Midnight is getting revealed at Gamescom in August and will release by February 2026.

>>713278162
They have to make the black bitch's arm work as normal because Blizzard absolutely will not dedicate to making special amputee animations no matter how many woke points it gets.
Blizzard laziness/money grubbing will never allow them to do that unless some random dev does it in his free time.

>>713278534
They should put arthas back in control just for luls

>>713276856
so what are those two giant snake niggas

>>713261607 (OP)
he should have rainbow clown hair, and faggot stripes on his vest

>>713278601
The Lich King is coming back. Don't know if it's Arthas though. It's why he has a new Lore Walking thing. Personally I want to see Ner'zul take over.

>>713261607 (OP)
That is unironically how blizzard imagines that their core audience looks.

>>713275898
I love how they completely forgot about the girlboss love interest they already made for him in BFA.

>>713276829
kek

>>713278656
Probably the embodiments of Good and Evil who are above all of the other cosmic shit or something.

>>713278789
Arthas and Ner'zhul are both completely gone after Sanctum and Sepulcher.

>>713272646
This but to raid mythic
Pay my gametime by selling CE mounts

I haven't read a quest for two expansions. Both Dragonflight and WWT are so pozzed and woke it's unbeliavable.

>>713278880
I thought he was in love with wrathion

>>713278967
nobody cares about that shit because shadowlands lore was stupid and everyone prefers to pretend it didnt happen

>>713278967
Tell that to Blizzard. Also they're fictional they could just say and do whatever the fuck they want to bring anyone back.

>>713278967
you think that will stop blizzard?

>>713278967
>>713278789
>>713278601
Ner'zul should take over Tor'Gast get the band back together. Arthas, Kel'Thuzad, Anub'Arak, even Teron Gor.

>>713279049
they broke up after wrathion killed his dad by accident

>>713279107
Blizzard sure isn't pretending it didn't happen. Anduin's PTSD, now Brokers and Venari in this new patch, directly referencing the Maw even.

We're moving into cosmic scale territory and that means they won't be able to not bring the First Ones stuff back into play.

>>713269856
He will probably apologize to her instead for not understanding her master plan. Khadgar the cripple will also thank her for enlightening them all

>>713279107
>nobody cares about that shit
blizzard does, they wanted to get rid of arthas completely and they did, there is no coming back

>>713275898
bro she's not even the worst thing in the current expansion, get a grip

>>713269856
didnt this nigga get PURGED from dalaran by jaina?

How would you Guys feel if Malygos came back as a main expansion Villain and was the one behind the Devourers? He didn't leave a body when he was defeated. Remember that rift in his lair with the hungry Mana Snakes coming out of it?

>>713269713

>>713261607 (OP)
Who cares about the face?

I like that despite being a one eyed one armed cripple living in a complete hopeless hell hole that is constantly getting attacked by man eating giant spiders that also abduct her friends or rip them limb from limb she STILL is better at using the light than Anduin. And the scene of her helping him 'get it up' is pretty inDICKative that she will be putting it up his ass later on in the trilogy.

>>713270760
Americans look at that and think "oh my science what a SLAY KWEEN!!".
I just see uppity farm equipment that needs to be given the strange fruit treatment.

>>713279430
What's worse, out of morbid curiosity?

>>713279702
do the devs still show off her feet in every single cutscene?

>>713268423
Baiken is cool, sexy, and her avoidance of getting any kind of replacement arm is one of many signs of her being mentally unwell. Plus, she may not have an arm but she's far from idle, she just fills the empty sleeve with extra weapons that would most certainly not fit in said sleeve.

>>713278789
Shadowlands definitively ended both Arthas and Ner'Zul. Until it didn't, which will be any time they need it.

>>713279801
Nta but Faerin herself is a non-issue. What's the problem is all the old established characters like Trollbane, Eitrigg etc. being character assassinated when they got anywhere near her.

>>713279391
They didn't just erase him they had Sylvanas fucking lecture the last mote of his soul before he dissipated into nothing while Uther and Jaina stood by and said nothing.
It was grim.

>>713279835
Yup. And on K'aresh she gets a frenemies arc, constantly calling the player "my champion".

>>713279936
But aren't they being character assassinated so they can prop up Faerin? That would still make her the issue.

>>713280029
you didn't play legion, right?

>>713279570
They already put Malygos to rest in a lengthy questline from Dragonflight, the last of his essence was allowed to pass on with Sindragosa in peace. Would seem to be needless to bring him back as a villain.

>>713278578
>they've made her an amputee to save animation time on that arm
lol
lmao

play her game

>>713279741
Anduin is immensely strong in the Light, he just has it mentally blocked by his trauma. You can disagree with doing that story but that is the story.

>>713279741
If Blizzard wants to get me back, she'll die protecting WAAAHnduin who will both get super PTSD and find the Light again due to her sacrifice.
But no; they'll keep pushing her bullshit on us like Danuser did with Nathanos. It will be embarrassing and insulting and frustrating and just fuckin' sad.

Can anyone give me a quickie lore dump on the new shit going on? I stopped playing during Battle for Azeroth. Specifically whats going on in the latest underground xpac? I see something about Dimenius, same void dude from Outland but fully powered up?

>>713270286
you're allowed to be sincere on the internet anon. Noone's stopping you.

>>713280157
we all know about how knaifu escaped
it's literally a lorewalking questline now

>>713262141
>Neglects the part where this alliance with Xal results in everyone on your side hating each other because Xal keeps spilling everyone's beans

God I hate this place more than I hate this fucking game.

>>713280134
No, they aren't, it's to prop up an overall moral realignment that's supposed to "update" Warcraft to be more in line with modern values, despite them not really making any sense in the fictional world that's been created.

>>713280157
I did, but that was only shadow priests, and before she blew up Dalaran.

It's a really silly scene on the PTR with Alleria and Locus-Walker doing the exact same thing as Jaina and Uther after Sanctum of Domination with Sylvanas.
>I WILL NEVER WORK WITH HER
>Don't trust her. Trust me.
>OH OKAY

They only drop like half an hour of boring lore every couple of months and the raid have basically no lore in them, so it's hard to remember this shit.

>>713280298
i'm talking about this
>Yup. And on K'aresh she gets a frenemies arc, constantly calling the player "my champion".
you act like she has never done this before

>>713280363
every time

>>713277718
Why legion was woke?

>>713280363
>I WILL NEVER WORK WITH HER
>Don't trust her. Trust me.
>OH OKAY
but alleria doesn't do that tho?

I'm just gonna say what we all are thinking. Black people

What did they do with the holy undead girl? Arthas' sister or something right?

>>713280514
Out of context

>>713280704
It's absolutely not. Their excuse to return is completely unjustifiable

Remember this troll-elf that was in the literal expansion cinematic?

Written out of the story.
I at least hope we get some fucking relevant cinematic again with the Midnight announcement. Show me the Sunwell imploding or something.

>>713280520
because new thing bad even though it's nearly ten years old

>>713280285
Who cares.
The "writers" haven't for over a decade, why do YOU?

>>713280685
She's one of the faction leaders for the Forsaken

>>713280618
Le GASP

>>713280685
Absolutely nothing. Undead got a heritage armor questline to justify moving back into Undercity and having her as part of a council leadership, hasn't shown up since.

>>713280618
they look weird in the wow setting, but I am okay with them in Conan.

>>713280740
>Remember this troll-elf that was in the literal expansion cinematic?
they will likely continue her story in the last titan when we focus on azeroth herself

Blizzard tricked idiots into caring about the story by drip feeding them conspiracy theories that go nowhere over years.

>>713280769
Because i still wanna know where Metzen's wild ride is going, even into the shitter, since ive been playing since WC2.

>>713280740
Wow is a joke and your subscription is the punchline.

Whenever Sylvanas is not on screen, all the other characters should be asking, "where's Sylvanas?"

>>713280870
>azeroth herself
azeroth is gonna be one of these fucking shitters
calling it now
>we wuz ORIGINUL PEYPULS
>yall wypipo just MUTATES

>>713280363
>he thought blizzard would do better
lol

I wonder what they'll do with Faerin in the Last Titan.
Because we all know she isn't going to be gone after TWW.

>>713280969
Sylvanas hasn't been seen since Shadowlands.

>>713277718
BFA was only fun at the end when they added the corruption vendor.
>tfw taking 25 tanks into heroic raids and just facerolling them with twilight dev

>>713281116
How do you know that? They dropped Yrel like a ton of bricks

>>713280998
No, azeroth will be just a nigger elf who will repeat the tranny dragon dialogue about being so much more than just a world soul and not being defined by that

>>713280998
>>yall wypipo just MUTATES
Humans are formerly Vrykul which were formerly metal constructs made by the the Titan Keepers but eventually like Earthen, Mechagnomes and others, were afflicted by the Curse of Flesh by the Old Gods and became flesh and blood beings.

This isn't new information.

>>713280740
>written out of the story
So was Iridikron.
Until we go to Northrand for the finale which is where he lives.

>>713281134
I know. I miss her so much

>>713281156
They won't drop Faerin because Faerin is the current writer's self insert and DEI pandering character. We're stuck with this unless there's a significant culture in Blizzard.

>>713261718

>>713281168
I hate that you're 100% right.

>>713281273
>LE SELF INSERT
You really need to find a second thing to claim

>>713281235
Iridikron wasn't written out, written out implies they were removed from the story, he was put on the backburner with clear intent for his return later, probably in Midnight.

>>713280285

We'll probably stop DImensius, but she'll get her mcguffin back and absorb all his power, then make the Sunwell implode with it leading into the nex expac.

>>713279214
>>713279214
IIRC Arthas soul remnants dissipated into nothing as sylv talked shit to it and uther and Jaina stood by while the strong woman spoke, I'm not joking on that part, nerzhuls soul was destroyed in the penultimate raid, Kelly was retconned to always hating arthas and always working for j'lor and anubarak also hates them, but I don't remember if that was a retcon.
The band is mostly gone forever.

All you have to know that what I'm saying is true is look at the people that do interviews for Blizzard nowadays.
There's always at least one brown or tranny in every single one of them.

As an actual diagnosed autist, I fucking hate these obnoxious faux autists who make it their whole personality and identity.
God no, I've always wanted nothing more than a magical cure for this blight, it's life destroying (no friends for 15+ years, can't travel alone, etc). I would pray every night to be able to be normal.

?

>>713281568
I said she is the writer's self insert character, and the writers nowadays are a bunch of troons, unironically, as you can see if you watch the interviews.

>>713281607
Danuser hasn't worked at Blizzard in almost two years.

>>713281389
>fight Gallywix who took over Undermine
Did Undermine actually get added in game? I always wanted to see it.

>>713281687
And you claim this about everything now, because it's all you have to say. Hence why I told you to get a second thing to claim.

>>713272028

yrel will come back
but also she was part of wod
meanwhile faerin is part of the trilogy
her story is not just randomly ending with the arathi shit

>>713281687
You said
>the current writer's
Implying one writer, the head writer. Your proof is that in interviews, there is a brown person who works on the development team in some capacity.

>>713281715
That doesn't invalidate him writing Nathanos as a self-insert for 6 years.

>>713281909
>Yrel will come back
in a .5 patch
as a 5man dungeon boss
where we shit on her because religion bayud mkay

>>713281742
The zone team still does good work.
Actually, most stuff has been alright in TWW, excepting any overarching story and main big name characters, as per usual. Somehow whenever the big names come into play the narrative goes down the drain, every single time.

>>713281971
yes
she will serve the lightlords like a religious zealout who is evil
and she will have small hands

I don't care if Retail gameplay is 10x better than Classic, I could never touch it out of sheer disgust for how they massacred everything about the universe I used to love growing up.

There is a brown or troon in every dev interview, these are not random brown outside of position of power, these are the public face of the company. Blizzard brings troons in every interview to be their public face.

>>713261607 (OP)
Never played wow, but upon seeing this thread, and knowing all I know about modern blizzard, and what I remember of the first few years of wow, and it's art direction...
Holy fuck this is disappointing
Encapsulated by >>713262574 perfectly

>>713282036
We haven't seen much of it yet, it doesn't look like Netherstorm. We've seen Dimensius's model. He's quite large. Here he is compared to N'Zoth and Dalaran.

>>713282036
They do use a lot of Netherstorm inspiration like the bubble forcefields and manaforges.

>>713282036
>Ethereals
you mean the space jeets?

>>713282103
What is someone supposed to take from you saying "The writer's self insert"? The writer, singular. Random quest designer?

>>713282029
Why did the "heroes" just watch him get killed?

>>713282036
>just Netherstorm assets?
I would hope not, those assets are 18 years old

>>713282185
I didn't even see poor little N'zoth at first.

>>713282185
>N'Zoth
lil fella

>>713282256
The particular writer that wrote that character, who does not need to be the head writer, responsible for the overall narrative.

>>713280285
The main villain is Xal'atath, the shadow priest artifact weapon from Legion.
She destroyed Dalaran and almost kills Khadgar, who survives by turning into energy and hiding in her macguffin amulet. She teams up with the local Nerubians as well as Gallywix and has them collecting old god blood for her. (I don't actually remember what purpose this serves or if it was actually mentioned at this point)
During a fight between Xal and Aleria the amulet gets cracked and Khadgar manages to escape but ends up in a wheelchair for a bit. Xal brings the amulet to Gallywix to fix it for whatever reason.
During all of this, the void lords/Ethereals have their own agenda that involves the amulet, which Gallywix accidentally hands off to them shortly before he's killed in the recent raid because he thought they were working with Xal.
This brings us to the upcoming patch which will be centered around whatever the Ethereals have been cooking up which involves Dimensius being absolutely fucking massive.

>>713263778
>I still followed its story
LMAO
Who are these retards that follow the story of wow? You have to be the dumbest blackest ape ever to keep following the story of a game that has literally 20 years of nothing.

>>713280969
Sylvanas should sit on my face

>>713282396
this nigga was made so overpowered in wod only to do basically nothing after storming the portal

WoW is obviously trying to be like a comic universe soap opera, except comics have multiple monthly series going on at once, while WoW drip feeds 30 minute quest lines once in a while and like a book a year.

what happened to orc jesus?

>>713282185
That's pretty cool. Even if the modern lore is hot garbage, i wish bliz would make non mmo WC games that let you explore the world and past plots. I always wanted a Diablo style WC series that streamlines out the grindy mmo aspects and still let's you experience the dungeon diving and raiding type adventures.

>>713282382
So now we're just claiming hypothetical people as "self-inserts". Do you see what I mean about you only having one claim yet?

>>713282620
raising his wife's son

>>713282014
Agreed. It's still relatively interesting... until the moment we get lectured by a major lore character or watch them grapple with a decision while we stand in the corner and mop up mobs.
I loved all the Nerub-ar stuff during launch except every time one of the fuck-up sisters kept seething at the Void and running off.

>>713261607 (OP)
I quit when Cata got released. I liked some of the raids but I hated the butchered skill tree and over the top numbers everywhere for no reason. We went from doing 20k+ damage to 100k+ even in green items. Something about that really put me off.

>>713282669
sorry I meant the literal orc jesus child from the comics

>>713282620
Largely irrelevant, like any Horde character.
The writers have absolutely no idea what to do with the Horde now that they can no longer just pull an insane warmonger Warchief out of their ass like Garrosh and Sylvanas.

Every important character since DF has been Alliance-aligned.

>>713282723
Retconned into never existing. The comics are completely non-canon.

>>713282813
nice

>>713282396
What is the Gallywix fight like? Im assuming he uses some robot or big nig tank?

>>713282695
the numbers got so big in mists of pandaria that garrosh had to have like 3 health reset phases so he could pass the number cap for hp

What's Garona up to? She a MILF yet?

I always wished Kezan would be a fully explorable continent with stuff like a super dangerous board walk amusement park.

>>713261607 (OP)
You can pinpoint the NANOSECOND he realized he wasted his life playing this retarded game, funnily enough, a month after quitting , he became one of Twitch's most viewed people and one of Youtube's most searched creators, it's almost like WoW was holding him back......do not let shit hold you back

>>713282662
>Hypothetical people
Yeah? Going by the people who currently work at Blizzard and who they often parade in interviews, having a brocolli head black or another DEI hire that added this shit is very likely.

>>713282995
that was 11.0. 11.1 and (from what we can see on the ptr) 11.2 are decent

any time i think about going back to retail i remember how impossible it is to get into a lower level mythic + as a non top 3 spec
even with 8s done some specs i couldnt get into a fucking 6 i was missing
i dont need to waste 2 hours putting my resume into groups where the leader has only done 3s and is trying to get carried by 4 meta sweats

>>713282898
If by main story you mean Alleria, ANduin and Xal'atath's character arcs I disagree. Cringeworthy writing.

Yeah he rides around in this. It combines with a body to form a full-on mech for the final phase iirc.

>>713282879
He uses a big robot that is also his CE mount. Big circular dome split into four sections, with a hole in the middle. As the fight progresses, there are a lot of explosives, bombs and stuff; some are just shit to dodge, some the tanks have to disarm, and some your party has to use to stop one of his raid-wipes, by bringing them to a special place in each sector of the dome, or throw them down in the center of the room, else they explode and do massive damage.
Pretty cool fight, but one of the easiet last bosses in a while.

>>713283175
how so
i tried when tww came out and it felt just like bfa in terms of getting into groups

>>713282723
You mean med'an, the son of medivh and garona? If so, his existence is ignored and the comics are retconned.

>>713262141
WoW ended with Arthas.
TBC simply ruined the story and Vanilla had already damaged enough thanks to fucking chilton and >pic.

>>713283310
They had to make M+ shitter friendly because Delves gave people a better option than to putting up with sperglord speedrunners for gear.

>>713283310
s2 changed a lot and was actually a well received. keys are super easy this season

>>713283283
I will have to watch gameplay of it, sounds neat. I always imagined a big goblin raid final fight would be up on some giant war zeppelin.

>>713282898
Anything having to do with alleria can't possibly be good. Her story in Legion was completely fucking retarded. She was basically fem illidan but worse.

>>713261607 (OP)
I really don't get why WoW is still trying to push the story or think they're great writers, WoW story has always been kinda shit and thrown together, no one actually cares about it, Players just cares about living in the world or raiding, they should scrap the story and just focus on that

>>713270916
If you didn't drop the story far sooner, what would keep you coming back? Certainly not this.

there is even some blind """parents""" who want their kids blind despite the fact prosthesis have come so far.

There's a baffling incongruency between different teams within Blizzard.
Is it old hands vs woke new hires?

>>713283175
I'll agree with this but I also think that the dungeon rotations are fucking horrendous.
>2 seasons in a row with Priory and Floodgate
>3/8 dungeons in the upcoming season are Shadowlands dungeons

WoW stopped being remotely interesting after WOTLK. I never played Season of Discovery but that seemed good as well watching from afar.

who cares? nobody fucking plays for the story

>>713268186
>Always the FF14 falseflag to derail a WoW is garbage thread
I am not even surprised anymore, it is always the same bait when FF14 is shit as WoW too thanks to the retarded community and Leftards libshits infiltrated at both companies at administration level

illidan being fucking tired of prophecies was kind of kino tho

>>713274975
Isn't arcane magic dangerous because it can lead to demonic corruption? But this says arcane is basically the opposite of fel/demons and fire mages should be the ones in danger

>>713283720
Both can exist simultaneously. To clarify what I meant; OG WoW, OG TBC and OG WOTLK was the best era of WoW. Not solely because of their contents, but because of the time period during which they existed. We were all younger and the game was less 'figured-out.' The internet was not as comprehensive as it is now.

In modern times, classic WoW as well as SoD I think are good.

As for myself I haven't played WoW since the first week of MoP.

>>713283575
>3/8 dungeons in the upcoming season are Shadowlands dungeons
how's that a problem? shadowlands had great dungeons

If the thought "Why?" ever crosses your mind just remember that the Blizzard forums (and subreddit, which they touch directly) implements the most draconian rules possibility.

No toxicity in the dojo is not a meme. Ion working at Gitmo is not a meme. Blizzard is pozzed to the maximum possible capacity to the point where it may as well formally be declared the gayest, lamest arm of the United States' propaganda wing.

>>713283575
>2 seasons in a row
Priory and Floodgate weren't in last season
They split all new dungeons in the middle; half were in S1, the other half are now in S2.

Is retail wow now the single fakest and gayest investor propped up online game to allegedly still be alive and in operation?

>No one actually discusses it outside of shitposting about magic wheelchair man and metzen posting
>No one streams or plays live/retail
>Nobody across multiple platforms even shares memes about it or hypes any new content
>Nobody knows anyone who actually plays it
>Final Fantasy Trannies at least mention the game and raids in between goon sessions

Fucking runescape classic has maintained more organic presence and gaming cultural impact, how the fuck do you go from THE MMORPG that everyone and their mother plays to being a complete fucking potemkin village no one makes a peep about?

>>713284050
Theater of Pain is in current rotation and you can't use the banners so I'd bet no

>>713279450
He bartered for a way back into the kirin tor by driving them with Felomelorn back in Legion.
After that, Khadgar took over Dalaran while Jaina went on a femcel rage.

>>713284050

>>713283886
Yeah but do we really need almost half of the lineup
to be from only 2 expacs ago when there are plenty of dungeons that haven't been back since their original expacs?

>>713284094
Her soul was split in good half and bad half. Both halves rejoined now, and she's saving night elf souls in the Maw as penance.

They're 100% bringing her back in Midnight to have all the Windrunner sisters there.

>>713284202
I did not know. Fuck I don't want to do Priory again bros...

>>713284418
they said pre-cata dungeons are hard to turn into m+ ones. also, they likely want to save some of the older dungeons for the next expansion

>>713284436
>Both halves rejoined now
Doesn't that mean she's the same old bitch as always?
That's good, love me my dark lady.

>>713284230
100%.
The Jailer/Zovaal got warped into a Thanos clone.
There's a lot of indications that Shadowlands development was full on dev hell, especially in the writing department, last minute rewrites etc. The expac announcement still used the old design.

Pig disgusting. Women centric storylines were a mistake. Pls remove feminism.

>>713284632
cute feet

>Vol'jin dies in Legion
>Rokhan is the new leader, there is no quests or any storyline that explains this and he does fuck all
Honestly this shit is just a comedy at this point.

What did Blizzard mean by this?

>>713284573
she's a softened version of the old sylvanas.

>>713284573
Her soul was split when she was killed by Frostmourne. Bad half went into the blade and was used by Arthas to create the Sylvanas we know.
Good half was sent to the Maw and imprisoned by Zovaal.

>>713282330

Correction, it WAS fan art. Then the artist was hired by blizzard and that picture was used in promotional material for hearthstone. Now it's official art from an official artist.

>>713284439
What's wrong anon? You don't like spending 30 minutes looking for a group only to have it immediately disband because it can't handle the initial giga pull?

The funniest part is it shows how ridiculous the ideology is to begin with.
It really is about hating yourself, your people, your country and cheering for its destruction.

>>713285363
this guy was funny at first but every video is the same thing

>>713283381
This. Killing Arthas was the last thing that truly mattered. Everything after has been Blizzard trying to one up itself and failing every time save for maybe Legion, which had the right idea but bad execution. The Lich King was made up the souls of Arthas, who fucked over the Alliance, and Ner'zhul, who fucked over the Horde. The Lich King actually felt like a villain that everyone in the story simultaneously agreed should be dead, it brought back some old heroes and quest givers to help out and felt like one big team effort. It wasn't executed as good as it could've, but it beats almost everything that came after.

>>713285426
lost his passion for wow, lost his talent. he switched to xiv but couldn't get good content out of it

>>713281613
Amen brother. I've come to terms with the fact that I'm gonna die alone so I'm just living with what positives I have left

>>713281386
It's the same thing with the Elf-Troll mentioned. They'll be back later. Iridikron left the story halfway through Dragon Flight and hasn't been seen or heard from since. He is more "written out" of the story than the Troll Girl is. So far...
