He applauds this shit, many of the old guard nerds that founded your favorite IPs can't handle all that success and inevitably turn into slaves to the social Zeitgeist to continue feeding their ego.

Look at Richard Garriot for example, what a pathetic fag he became.

He's still not at the retirement age and needs the money. Old folks that are already getting their pension can freely call people niggers and faggots since they can't really get cancelled.
For those that are still working, especially in office spaces, it's an entirely different story.

HIS NAME IS LITERALLY TROLLBANE
HE EARNED IT, TOO
he literally WENT TO OUTLAND and stayed there for 20 years
just fighting fucking orcs

>>713466402
Some random quest mob you killed in TBC. After they ran out of cosmic villains they asspulled the "Void Lords" as the next big bads. Dimensius was called a void lord in TBC so they retconned him to be a super powerful villain

>>713466990
Did they even explain the version of him you killed in tbc?

>>713466990
If I had any faith left in the writing staff I would say this universe needs a total reset and to just move onto WoW 2. This shit is getting dumb. Imagine they released an expansion and at the end it’s revealed the main villain was Sneed all along.

>>713464470 (OP)
ACTION IS COMING

>>713465627
The cadance and flow of this feels horrible, even sloppa could've shat out a better script.

>>713466661
I think old folks just hate everyone in general, which is understandable. I get more cynical by the day.

>>713467267
Who's the angry librarian?

Appearantly wowfags are hyped for this shit and literally drooling because it's Metzen's kino

why is this broccoli-head disabled lesbian the fucking face of wow nowadays? I'm playing Cata (soon MoP) classic and I want to dip after Legion, but what if Legion is already pozzed the fuck out like this? When did this shit start?

>>713467459
Of course they're drooling. They're literal retards.

>>713465962
>>713465627
>>713466071
I imagine shadow priest players are either happy with this or popping a blood vessel over it.

>>713467459
Unless Metzen is back to snorting giant, Ukraine shaped rails before writing a game. I don't give a fuck.

>>713467267
This looks horrible. Is this what passes for in game cutscenes or something? I feel like the animation was better when I played and I quit at the start of Cataclysm.

>>713466663
hahahahaha how the FUCK are you so on point

>>713467541
Legion wasnt that pozz but there were definitely whiffs of it by then, it got really bad during bfa/shadowlands

>>713465571
The old guard developers are mostly socialists that romanticized the ever living shit out of communism. Development projects like Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines imploded because the devs at the small studio were trying to apply this fairytale communism where everyone just does whatever work they like to do at the moment whenever they feel like it, so they quickly ate up all the budget while not getting shit done and went bankrupt or got fired and sued, unless the publisher sent someone who actually knows what the fuck direction and management is.
Metzen and the rest were just the workaholic commies.
Yes. The "woke" is acceleration to bring forth socialism. Didn't you pick up on them loudly yelling about how great socialism and communism is?

>>713467541
Shadowlands was when it reached critical mass

>>713467218
Even though he was explicitly stated to be dead for good in the TBC questline, they retconned it as being just a small "manifestation", a "fragment" of him, and not his actual form. The usual, uninspired asspull.

>>713466402
>>713466990
lmao look at this little dude. How cute.

>>713464767
Metzen is a marketing tool to fool you all, WoW is beyond redemption and the only thing that can save it is if they literaly deleted 90% of the game and made it non canon, so never happening.

>>713467785
In their defense they completely ran out of notable villains to shamelessly resurrect.
They already blew their load with Kel’thuzad and Kael’thas in sneedlands. Who the fuck is even left?

>what is wrong with Blazzard?
fags

>>713467931
I'd say yes, but every faction leader is being replaced with a woman.

>>713467541
Blizzard pozzing started around Cata. They doubled down during BFA, and nuked it down to unrecoverable lvls during SL.

>>713468056
That explains the poor leadership quality of every faction in WoW

>>713464767
Metzen coming back is exactly why War Within's in it current state. Lmao.

The problem is that those men stuck in their ways in the past actually had strong beliefs informed by their experiences.

The ones that didn't implode were Stakhanovites. They are the workaholic commies. They would break time and space with sheer crunch and autistic obsession with adding more and more.

>>713468368
The only reason Xal'atath survives this expansion and becomes a temporary ally is because Metzen came in and wanted her as a boss in Midnight instead. They probably planned to kill her off in the original version of this expansion anyway during the void invasion patch

Metzen became a total faggot after his testosterone plummeted as a result of aging and getting dommed by his family. This was blatantly obvious by the time of SCII with the retarded Kerrigan "redemption" arc, as he was no longer interested in the grittiness of the Starcraft universe and wanted a faggy love story instead, because Kerrigan reminded him of his daughter or some shit.

>>713465627
>>713469397
You're missing the whole bit where Alleria continues to chimp out and tells Locus Walker that she no longer considers him a friend, nor her teacher and wants nothing to do with him when this is over.

>>713469283
They think writing a character like that is indirect approval.
This is why every major villain is either misunderstood and gets redeemed or is an unthinking force of nature, only way to not offend somebody.

>>713468998

I miss garrosh, I miss when any story of any media would just fucking kill someone for being a dickhead instead of a convoluted team up or redemption. Just let bad guys be assholes who fuck shit up and occasionally get killed. Imagine how much better warcraft writing would be if people could actually hold grudges, seek vengeance,, and actually kill people who wronged them instead of a having a marvel disney power couple.

Please I beg of any millennial writer who has even the smallest chance of reading this, Let your characters be awful, they don't need redemption or a deeper character arc, they just need to fuck shit up.

Why is XIV the troon game if wow has actual troon quests in it?
The only reason troons latch onto it is because you can make characters reasonably pretty or just mod them to be, but the game itself is not a troon game, especially not compared to what WoW is now

>>713471826
WoW has troon devs
XIV has troon players

>>713471826
because the players are troons and not the devs and funding troon devs is somehow better because blizzard cultist logic

>>713472419

It all goes back to the Burning of Teldrassil when the night elf fans and Alliance fanbase couldn't take a loss. Unfortunately the entire game has been suffering since their initial chimpout over the burning

Reminder that Metzen already stated months ago that Xal'atath would be in all 3 xpacs. I wouldn't mind, but blizz is just so fucking lazy when it comes to the story.
>no option to side with her earlier, even if you're a spriest
>motive is "do evil thing to defeat the bigger evil" AGAIN
>part of Xal's plan involved having the heroes kill things for her, but she doesn't just leave some trail for them to follow to kill Dimensius
>Dalaran pointlessly blown up, when they could have had a scene of Khadgar crashing it into something, like Tassadar with the gantrithor
Did they at least reveal that Xal'atath was a world soul, and she's pissed because she got fucked over by the void?
I didn't buy the xpac, and I unsubbed a few months after cata classic released.

I'll never understand people who praise Legion. It was terribly written and butchered the lore, it tripled down on the cosmic bullshit, introduced everything that fucked up the game like M+, heightened focus on metrics, allied races, timegating, artifact power, world quests. Legion is directly responsible for the state of the game today. If you praise Legion in any capacity you deserve to persist in the doomed world you yourself helped to create.

The same guy. Players killed only small fraction of him back in TBC and now he's greater threat than the J'lor or Sargeras and his Burning Legion.

>>713475559

>>713476138
stating the obvious here but that seems like such a bottom of the barrel fucking choice for a final boss. like someone just got done doing that questline on one of the classic servers and brought it up to metzen and he thought it was BADASS in between doing lines of coke and respecting women

>>713468315
Well, there we have it, it the definite answer as to why this game has gone to shit: All the devs are playing XIV and trying to copy it.

>>713470345
Because women are always good and if they aren't outwardly good they have a soft, girly heart that allows them to be redeemed. Also you aren't allowed to hurt to kill them because violence against women is icky so its easier to just forgive them.

Yeah sure the reason you didn't start following your "passions" yet is the work taking up your time, not the fact that as a "yearner" you are completely devoid of passion, you are hollow shell wasting away and coping that if only you could magically live for free surely you'd magically also become a creative.
The very act of creation is work. Only labor makes imagination and creative inspiration a reality. ArtWORK and WORK of art contain the word WORK for a reason.
It is also passion that drives people to go for creative pursuits regardless the cost.
You are a lazy waste of space, not a would be creative.

>>713472498
For comparison. God damn, you may be right. This scene is still pretty awful but holy fuck. Two static models spinning around while the camera shakes in an attempt to add some dynamism is embarrassing.

>>713476396
Zenos isn't a cute hot elf

>>713476616
They copy a lot of things and scatter them throughout the expansion or mix them together so that they fit into their world somehow. They just don't realize how obvious it is from an outside perspective.

>Work is a means to an end
This applies to art just the same. The motivation behind pursuing the work required to create art is passion. Likewise, passionate work only becomes art when its done some methodically with vision. Work is a means to achieve art, it is not art. Maybe you can invent some more strawmen to justify why this concept is also foreign to you.

This game is for fags and I actually mean that literally and not in an insulting or pejorative way. The target demographics are lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgendered individuals. Preferably of color. Blizzard does not want white males, especially older ones or heterosexual ones, to play or consume their products. My advice is that if you are white and not lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgendered to not play blizzard products and to not give them money.

>fetish
Simpler than that, it's writers that can only copy other people's writing. Sure, most creative processes are just copying and applying a slight twist to it, people never make something 100% original, but these writers have no idea how to alter existing ideas at all so they just copy someone else's homework in a big """artist""" circlejerk.
Even an indie dev twist of "it was all just a dream" or "the good guys were the bad guys all along" is more original than what WoW (and most other AAA) writers come up with.

>>713479173
Its a season so it was never intended to go on forever.

>>713479372
close

>>713478031
Not the point I was making. Wow builds upon WC3 lore primarily. He isn't a well known character that "people who played WoW at all, are familiar with". Besides, a good part of the playerbase doesn't really give a shit about the lore.

not my fault only retards work at blizzard now, I'm perfectly justified of being mad about the little scrap of lore that wasn't pozzed getting the california treatment. I don't give a fuck if Danath was irrelevant in "let's all ally against the big bad" iteration 1.

Anytime I see this game all I can muster is a disgusted sigh

WoW should die so that a studio who actually cares and plays videogames can treat it with some dignity
Having it die in this state and forgotten would be beyond shameful

Logical non-WoW answer: Someone who has seen the worst of other races probably knows how to distinguish their better examples and the causes. Most people just wanna live at the end of the day but some need a bigger push.
Real answer: Faggots and the converted who live in air-conditioned Californian apartments knowing nothing of the world outside what social media tells them.

Let them push until the game doesnt break even anymore

So the hours to days to weeks of labor to actually create the artwork makes it not art. You are a fucking genius.
>no! I didn't say.
Yes you did you coping in denial retard. You don't even understand the shit you spout and self report with.
You try to deflect with sentences ultimately saying nothing from the fact you are too fucking lazy to create anything.
Artists are not yearners. Artists are CREATORS.
You are a waste of space that will never amount to anything because you lack any drive or passion for even a fucking creative hobby, let alone a pursuit of CREATION.
Not even AI will help your retarded ass because you lack both the drive and passion to learn the machine's controls and inner workings, and the actual creativity to come up with the actual artwork your mechanical slave is supposed to work to create in your stead.

>>713464767
What do you mean he came back too late to fix War Within?
He came back around release of Dragonflight late 2022 and The War Within was released 2024.
He had at least two years to improve TWW before its release, but this is what he came up with.

>>713481359
because it’s all based off of the original architecture and models from early 2000s
the modern level designers never bother to go back and touch up old shit unless they absolutely have to

>>713481239
if stormwind becomes a raid again a good margin of wowfags will leave

Alliance is dead faction players-wise anyway

I mean Blizzard has been on this way since Metzen felt guilt over sexy Sylvannas. The entire art team being flooded with tumblr furries just sealed the deal.
You won't get any dark Warcraft any time soon. So you will see Danath Niggerkiller preaching over tolerance. The cherry on top would be the Ghost of Garithos saying he was wrong or some shit.

i genuinely think it's that they want to repeat the Jailer but they think the problem was that it was a new character, and creating a Thanos ripoff BIG BAD THE MOST DANGEROUS VILLAIN EVER is fine if it's like some old lore character or boss mob.

The alternative to the internment camps was genocide, and the camps only barely won out thanks to Terenas. The idea behind the camps was to find some way to actually civilize the murderous invaders from another world.

having a daughter turns you into the biggest weepy pussy ever. he's why they censored Sylvanas's midriff because his daughter thought a game design meant to appeal to 20/30 year old men was lame.

>>713468368
this hack hasn't been the same since starting a family. friendly reminder he got rid of sylvanas's bikini armor because his daughter had a feminist tantrum. utterly castrated and emasculated.

They don't.
They hard filtered the good for nothings so only valuable and diligently working individuals remain.
In ACTUAL socialism slackers are the enemies of society and MUST be eliminated, and they ARE fucking eliminated.
But he's not doing actual socialism either, he is running a meritocracy on a socialist skeleton considering he takes only the cream of the crop.
It's also massively helping that Valve is very non-confrontational and not directly competitive, so the stress on the system is minimal, not risking anything faulty to break.

>>713485682
Unlike Illidan who was a straight up villain in in BC, but then was shown as the "necessary evil" in Legion. Or Grommash Hellscream who was the villain of Draenor and then helped fight the Burning Legion, or Kael'thas getting redeemed in Shadowlands, or Saurfang, or literally anyone originally in the scourge who later became a force for good. Or any of the Orcs under the influence of fel blood, who later became heroes. Really makes you wonder why this is suddenly such a huge annoyance point when it's female characters. Hmmmmmmmmmmm.

>>713483072
>fake url

>>713486816
Redeeming a character int he same expansion they're introduced is poor writing. At least Illidan had an arc across multiple games and expansions.

>>713464470 (OP)

>>713487262
I dunno, there's a buffer there but it's not like there's much of an arc there. It's like Arthas, He has some exploits towards the end of vanilla, then we hear basically nothing from him, then for Lich King he pops in for every villain we defeat as a: "Ah, you've beaten my minion but you haven't beaten me yet!", and then we murked him, he had a "It's finally over.." cutscene and then was fucking dead. Grommash was a villain in Draenor and then fought with us by the end of Draenor. I dunno, my argument isn't that it's not shit, my argument is that culture war faggots are astro turfing discussions trying to convince people that it's a uniquely female problem in WoW, when it's just generally a very widespread trope that seems to happen with both males and females in WoW. 2 entire races in one faction are literally "used to be bad but now are good". So when someone tells you this is something they're doing to "female characters" you should probably laugh in their face.
