Why doesn't he have a priest or paladin use the holy light to heal him?

What the fuck is Metzen doing during all this

>>714565078
Collecting checks I imagine.

>>714565078
>arathor cringe shortstories
It was probably in a production pipeline way before he took over. So far the theory is he scrapped furry elves and the storyline of how old god's blood poisons their underworld tree or something (there was a map with furry elves locations). So the story jumped to space instead.

blizzard is cooked lmfao

>>714565673
Powerful...

>>714564606 (OP)
I find myself repeating this in different fucking conetexts now but i really dont think it takes that much creativity to realize in a fantasy setting a motherfucker could sit on a fucking floating platform
Khadgar is a mage with crystals n shit he could be sitting on a giant floating crystal

Why does it have wheels if it can fly? They seem kinda redundant.

>>714565589
Most likely didn't get scrapped, just put on hold to be picked up in Midnight or TLT.

TWW as a whole seems like it got gutted and rewritten extensively once Metzen came on board, becoming a mix of filler arcs (Undermine, Arathi Highlands) and setup (Xal'atath, Haronir, Titans stuff) for what Metzen wants to do in Midnight and TLT.

>>714565784
It's actually a shitting chair, the wheels grind the shit to a fine paste so he can spread to the most

>>714565673
WoW has always been choke full of gay shit. I just don't get the people who start cursing and spitting on the ground in 2025

>>714566035
WoW was never "good" when it came to writing. But the tonal shifts didn't start happening until BfA/Shadowlands and go 100% in Dragonflight.
In TWW it's actually been toned down compared to DF.

Don't worry, with the new Zenimax MMO canceled, WoW is back on its feet.

MoP was excellent. Anyone memeing about muh pandas is an idiot, it's one of the best expansions when it came to integration into existing worldbuilding.

>>714565784
Because they need it to virtue signal. They could let him levitate, there's no need for a summoned magical wheelchair. Or they could have made the whole thing into something else. Like a wagon. A flying carpet (guess that's off because that's cultural appropriation). Anything. It's not too hard to make a disabled character look good. Unless you don't want to.

>>714565784
The wheels are the rotors. It's advanced dwarvish tech, you wouldn't get it.

They explain it in game that it's made by his crush so he uses it even though it's shit. At least he's straight I guess?

Disingenuous argument made in bad faith. You know exactly what he meant.

For the same reason Tirion didn't just bubble hearth.

>>714567005
its funny af the guy is muscular af too like he is still lifting and training with heavy things even tho his lower spine is fucked apparently so he gotta summon his magic wheelchair that floats and doesnt even roll its wheels. Hahahahahahah
Dont you think that sometimes that mage nigga is just doing it to flex on the magicless cripples? Maybe he is not actually disabled he just likes making them feel lesser with this summoned magic wheel chair.

>>714566828
they gave mekkatorque a tony stark heart made of energy and a powersuit so i'm pretty sure one of the strongest mages in warcraft can do something similar

They have necromancy to get new legs, and a large variety of magic armors and mechas to just move around. If you still need a wheelchair you are just seeking for attention

And you dare to call yourself a wizard? I bet your dungeon doesnt even have mimics.

>>714567807
Because it's a blatant case of trying to copy FF14 but without any proper prior planning. Not to mention some elaborate story was never WoW's gimmick.

>>714564718
Modern day progressives unironically believe that curing disabilities is wrong, and the right thing to do is for the society to bend to accommodate those disabilities.

>>714565673
Name an MMO with good in-engine cutscenes.

>>714567973
>Modern day progressives unironically believe that curing disabilities is wrong
I did not believe that at first.

>>714567827
His dialogue IS saying "I'll drive to..." though I'm not sure if the Russians don't just use the term for any sort of mechanical movement towards a destination.

What happened to the old mmo formula of "you are just another adventurer among countless others, go out into the world, explore strange places and fight whatever evil you come across", and why is it now "You are the chosen one, you got to defeat the ancient evil in this epic saga unlike any other, except the next one in 6 months or so"?

>>714567973
Until we can make people regrow limbs I think making buildings wheelchair accessible is great

>>714567973
granted, all of that hinges on the definition of "disability", like no shit people would freak out if every manlet would have to get shot
but literally no one enjoys having to wear glasses or a hearing aid

>>714565078
I saw a jewtube video interviewing him that everything in wow is decided "democratically". At least he's getting easy paycheck at this rate for fucking around.

>>714568126
because you can only make players save the world from primordial divine evils and have random cunts like jaina take credit for it so many times before it strains credulity

>>714568126
power fantasies are popular, that's it
WoW started out with the player being a glorified footie but things get kinda iffy after the first few averted catastrophes

>>714568186
>but literally no one enjoys having to wear glasses or a hearing aid
Alright, who's posting the deaf parents horror stories?

>>714568142
That is a nobrainer, but there are fringe activists who take it to weird extremes, like leftists who support abortion otherwise calling aborting fetuses with down syndrome "genocidal", and activists opposing curing deafness because it will destroy "deaf culture" (sign languages and such).

In Vanilla, you take down the primeval elemental lord of fire, dismantle a tribe of trolls and kill their Blood God, dispatch a race of murderous bugs that once controlled the world and take down an Old God, expunge the direct father and daughter of the leader of the Black Dragonflight, and finally waltz into a floating undead fortress and lay low the right hand man of the Scourge.
Just random farmer boy stuff.

Shut up, chud. Don’t you dare question a strong, powerful, black female amputee.

why wheels when it flies
are they mocking disabled players?

>>714568890
It’s true but they didn’t have cringe cutscenes and dialogue sucking your dick and calling you the hero of the universe.

>>714568989
Yes, and that's the point.
How many expansions of treating you like a common peasant could they muster while you're taking on the world soul of a planet.

so what would you do instead, /v/?

>>714568126
what do you think this was? Does this strike you as "just another adventurer among countless others"?

If yes, explain to me how its different to 25 asshats going into Ahj-Kahet to slay the nerubian queen.

>>714568784
You are supposed to be intimidated by what the villain represents (racism, conservative values, toxic traditionalism), not by how the villain looks like. Basic media literacy, chud.

>“The Arathi Highlands belong to humanity. They are the heart of a great empire whose blood runs in our veins even now, Jaina. We must purge them of all invaders and take back our kingdom. It is our birthright. It is what Thoradin fought for. And we are—I am—destined to continue his legacy.”

it can't be ridden or even carried around
this in a fantasy world where making a magitech metal wheelchair should be simple

god I hate these people

At this point, I think making the creative process a democratic decision is a fucking mistake. I would rather take the vision of 1 schizo and his team of handlers making it a reality, then an entire boardroom of women voting on how best to virtue signal to each other through gay ass writing.

Disabled mages in fantasy settings should either cure themselves, float or have some sort of mech

Magical wheelchairs are lazy and unfitting

nothing, did you not see his interview where he subtly admitted theres no one really in charge at WoW? the leadership has been "Democritized" basically there is no one person making decision the "team" more or less "decides together" what happens.

What i can't get over is that it has wheels when it doesn't have to. It's like they're self aware, they know that this is ideological horseshit, and is in the game only because the green armpit hair freaks in their "LGBT+ council" they have at blizzard would freak out if they didn't give him a wheelchair.

>>714570985
That's just former ziv players shitting on the corpse of it

Why can't he magic his legs to work again?

It's just, the Ranger from the Shadows of Mordor game I can fully believe would be athletic enough to do all the acrobatic bullshit and climbing he does. He was already doing it before the game even started. I can't believe some wheelchair bound cripple doing similar.

Don't know the logistics of Khadgar's disability, but if you're paralyzed from waist-down, it must be annoying as hell to sit on a surface without a backrest. His magic wheelchair having armrests and a high back actually makes sense to me.
The wheels and them actually spinning is pretty goofy, but whatever. They just reused an old model and made it transparent

>>714571119
let me just circle behind you real quick and then send you off a cliff

>>714571119
I guess because your mobility is incredibly restricted and an assailant can just easily outflank you. You also move the wheelchair by using your hands, so you cannot move while using any type of hand-held weapon, like a sword or a firearm, you'd have to stand perfectly still while actually fighting which obviously isn't a very good idea.

>>714565673
>using a jousting lance like a normal sword

>>714571250
At least it's not made of wood and stone.

it's one thing when you do it as a personality quirk or gimmick. it's another entirely when you do it for brownie points
former is done for effect or simply for shits and giggles, latter is done as propaganda to make a group or race look good, which diminishes the work. it's as insulting as a call of duty game that tries to recruit you into the navy to die for israel

cuz ur a sitting duck on a high stakes situation

I would unironically like other anons suggested just go behind them and push them off a cliff.

>>714571330
The funny part here is that jousting lances were made of wood and specifically designed to shatter on impact (the object of jousting was/is to shatter your lance on the enemy's shield) so if you smacked the flat side of a jousting lance against the sharp edge of a sword the lance would instantly break into a hundred pieces.

btw stromgarde was destroyed even in Warcraft 2

Why would it even be a thing in a setting where holy magic exists and people get healed or resurrected willy nilly?
It's as cringe as those faggots who put BY THE WAY I'M TRANS into that BG expansion, a setting where Girdle of Masculinity/Femininity exists.

It makes zero sense to the setting and it's only put there so some faggot who isn't even crippled or trans could virtue signal. I'm glad this gravy train is coming to a screeching halt.

The kingdom of Stromgarde was a separate entity from the Kingdom of Lordaeron. Last I checked that was true, and after WC3 the total number of human kingdoms still standing was Stormwind, Gilneas, Stromgarde (tentatively) and Kul Tiras. Alterac was destroyed in the 1st war, Dalaran and Lordaeron didn't survive the 3rd, and Stromgarde took in a lot of the Lordaeron refugees that managed to escape south when Arthas was committing mass genocide of his people.

>>714571650
No, Stromgarde is part of the Lordaeron subcontinent, but not part of the Kingdom of Lordaeron. Stromgarde is its own kingdom with the Trollbane line as kings

>>714572465
Probably because the wheelchair isn't touching the ground, or anything really. There's nothing to cause the friction to generate the grip to make the wheels spin. You could say they spin because of magic, but if they're spinning because of magic, why not just make a floating device that doesn't need magical wheels? Like a carpet, or a dragon, or literally anything else that isn't a wheelchair.

Off topic, but can anyone explain to me the Left's absolute fascination with the "right side of history"? They're always talking about how history will look on today, how history will judge us, whether history will like us. Is it their substitute for god? They treat history like this objective, omniscient being that defines the value of our being and our actions. Even MLK couldn't shut up about how history will in the end always be righteous. Is it some sort of divine reverence?

>>714573824
It's easier to think "history" as some omnipresent thing when you also happen to be the one attempting to create the narrative you expect will be the primary one used to retell the events of the present. History is the set of lies we all agree upon, after all.

>>714573824
Combine it with their other belief, "history is written by the conquerers" and you'll see how it makes sense. They are, after all, fascists in everything but name.

To be fair this sentiment is only widespread among the really outspoken retards and started out as copium from disabled people who definitely won't have their disabilities fixed in their lifetimes. It can be a little asinine hearing people talk about "cures" that won't materialize for decades when you're suffering right now and something like the implementation of a ramp or elevator in a public space could massively improve your life in the short term. But anyone with half a brain knows you can do both, you can accommodate disabled people AND work toward curing their disabilities. The idea that this needs to be some kind of Faustian bargain is ridiculous, and so is this kind of absurd virtue signaling. You'd have to be really fucking cynical to want a disabled character to be wheelchair-bound, especially in a setting where that shit would logically be cured with a wave of their hand. Recognize that he was crippled but don't just leave him like that, I find it seriously hard to believe any disabled person that cares about this setting and its characters would want him to remain in a wheelchair just so they feel "seen".

it is so funny to me that WoW's story started out similar to the Warcraft stories, very 90s dormroom dude bro who were very clearly into warhammer and metal fantasy where things were more crude and characters were all SAMUEL BANESBLADE or AUROTH THE MINDSLAYER.
Then as time passed and those dudebros that were in charge either moved to other projects or straight up left blizzard newer writers came in until we're here with stories written by nerdy millenials who plays DnD as their bisexual tiefling named Morgan Lazor and their main concerns is asking "what if the red power ranger was a WOMAN!" writing WoW's story which has lost any edge it had and it's new characters has none of that metal influence or even warhammer (probably deemed problematic) but also it really wants you to take it seriously when it's just really badly written and no one actually cares about the story and haven't in over a decade.

Obviously the first answer is just fix the disability. This is a setting where the dead can be brought back to life, it really shouldn't be beyond the capabilities of the setting's healers. Assuming that's not possible for whatever reason, the chair is still retarded. If it's a magic construct why does it even need to be a chair? Make a magical back/leg brace or suit of armor or something. And even if it needs to be a chair for whatever reason, why give it wheels when it can clearly float?

this is the actual dumb part, it would've been so easy to just have him in a normal magical chair, but it has to be a magical wheelchair so you KNOW he's crippled and isn't just a lazy douche. because the point isn't to logically make this disabled character function in this setting, it's to virtue signal. all that matters is that people know this character is disabled at a glance.

>>714567973
>Modern day progressives unironically believe that curing disabilities is wrong
This. As to the "why", it's because they conflate disability with identity, so treating or curing a disability in any way is viewed as an erasure of identity instead of what it actually is, improving someone's quality of life by promoting health.

I'm getting tired of being exposed to the opinions and thoughts of middlewits. Democracy was such a fucking mistake, no wonder the Athenians declared the system a failure, the bulk of people insist on holding incorrect perceptions about things.

>>714574716
Reminder that the moral message they decided to put into the destruction of dalaran was "it's better to remain ignorant than risk educating the wrong person", and everyone decided independently that dalaran was a mistake and they should never try to rebuild the kirin tor.

>>714564606 (OP)
The reason they did this is to make Khadgar more "diverse".

He was previously able-bodied which makes him undiverse. Blizzard turned him disabled so he is now diverse (and thus, morally a better person according to Blizzard).

This is only the start. Consider Anduin. According to Blizzard's diversity tool, he scores a 0 for diversity. They will probably make him disabled/old via magic/transgender to "correct" this "mistake".

>>714575759
Mage's don't use healing magic, they use Arcane magic, which can't be used to restore people's bodily functions. That being said it's still retarded, why wouldn't he just go to a Priest or a Paladin who (canonically) can bring the dead back to life and heal grievous wounds with the flick of a wrist.

it serves no game purpose other than a strictly combat related, theres no mechanic to it
also sexo mod but thats unrelated

>I find it seriously hard to believe any disabled person that cares about this setting and its characters would want him to remain in a wheelchair just so they feel "seen"
nta but for me its not even the fact that he's paralyzed, its the fact its a WHEELchair
a floating, magical chair that doesn't even come in contact with the ground, so why in God's name does it need WHEELS
this is the smoking gun to me, the undeniable proof that they just want their pity points over anything logical or consistent with the setting
like, fucking Huey Emerich in MGSV made himself robotic leg braces rather than keep himself in a (high tech) wheel chair like in peace walker. THAT makes sense in-setting, of course a guy that works on bipedal robots is gonna work on giving himself his own legs back, and even with how chopped up and half-baked that game's story was it was used in an interesting and unique way with that scene of Kaz torturing him by having the brace bend his leg the wrong way

>>714577327
Forced animation wasn't the issue with that cunt
It was that she looked butt fucking ugly in-game
And that the game was fucking shit, too

Video game companies have this weird trend of wanting to drive away their customers. A hockey gamer doesnt want to buy fifa, he wants hockey game. A MMO autist doesnt want cinematic moviegame, he wants MMO autism. A strategy autist doesnt want FPS, he wants Total War and so on.

Yet for some reason when a gaming company grows big enough, they start abandoning their core audience to make something vastly different. As a result you get a product that your repeat customers dont want to buy and is worse than established games of the new genre company tries to make game for. Hence nobody wants to buy the game and commercial failure ensues. Why this keeps happening is beyond me.

because logically addressing the disability isn't the point, putting a cripple on display for the sake of inclusivity is. if they didn't broadcast it in the most blatant visual language possible they might risk someone missing their virtue signaling. it's not like they can be trusted to organically weave this concept into the writing, it is blizzard we're talking about.

>>714577559
This looks like it was made to appeal to tiktok

>>714577791
this no one wants to admit it, but Blizzard saw how well FFXIV was recieved for it's story and saw how ShB blew up and decided they really needed to focus story even more, but thing is they're just bad at writing and most of WoW's players really don't want story focus if they wanted that they have ffxiv or you know, single player games, WoW really should just focus on what it does well.

>>714577791
Yeah. Blizzard's campaigns are all so connected with years of planning going into them that you can choose which one to level up in and ignore the rest. Fact they wanted to compete with FF14 of all games in that department is just retarded.

>>714569023

>>714578126
Do you really like BMWs that much

>>714569023
Make it so that the chair can't float constantly and has to occasionally come down to the ground, which would explain the need for wheels

>>714578126
>>but no a wheelchair is just too much
If anything it's too little, not too much. The gnomes have been running around on robot ostriches for decades, there's really no justification for anyone to be using a regular wheelchair in this setting, let alone making one out of magic when it could be any shape and form you want. There's also no reason for a floating chair to have wheels.

>>714574428
This is so stupid. I love it.

>>714569023

>>714577226
How do you feel about this?

>>714564606 (OP)
Why are disability activists so attached to wheel chairs in particular? Like it's fucking floating there! It doesn't need wheels. Not to mention it's a fantasy setting, you could have him sitting in anything, a lying carpet, a giant crystal ball. Why insist on a wheelchair?

>>714568042

>>714564606 (OP)

>>714568784

>>714578713
>Why insist on a wheelchair?
Because it's a good way to put a disability on display without having to actually put effort into making the person look or feel disabled. Just take a normal person and sit them in a wheelchair. Bam. Don't need to draw any disfigurements or injuries or complex machinery, don't need to animate them limping or anything like that. It's as basic as it gets.

>>714577327
I think it's her being quirky chungus

>>714578841
See, I can't tell if you're joking or not given this is modern Blizzard we're talking about.

>>714578787
He could simply build magic exoskeleton or fix his body.
But it's clearly pandering to cripples.
>you can be powerful cripple too!

>>714564606 (OP)
But why make it a wheelchair? I can imaging a powerful mage having disability in a fantasy setting - it's not hard to write, just make it about some curse or some uncurable magical damage that's let's say dissolves your bones.
But why not ut him on magic carpet or flying throne?
That way cripples will have their representation and the game's world doesnt sufffer from retardation in the process.

>>714578864
You completely missed the point of what I was asking, why not put them in one of those floating chairs or flying carpets that are already in the game instead of making a wheel chair just for this? It's a fantasy setting you can doing better things than wheel chairs

this is only really a contrivance made for player characters thoughbeit, in the context of everything else undeath is still gay and retarded and arthas was still right for trying to prevent it

>>714575220
He's the most powerful mage in the entire setting

>>714579229
you're trying to find a logical in world justification when all the thought process happens outside of the game itself
fantasy setting or not doesn't matter one way or the other if decisions are made to create a meta representation of real world ideas

>>714579053
Because it's not even done by people who are disabled most of the time.
It's vacuous virtue signalling by people with skeletons in their closet desperately trying to prove they are a "good" person.

>>714579053
He does it to mock people.
Thrones and carpets aren't his style, and floating looks gay.
With the arcane wheelchair, he can subtly mock the disabled while still out performing them and getting pity points. There is also the practical purpose that people will see wheelchair and know he has an issue without him having to explain it to every new person.
At least I wish this was the case.

Open up a ffxiv thread and see a blizzard schizo dumping a folder thay he’s been doing for almost 5 years straight, 16 hours a day every single day including holidays

>>714579916
I mean, that's the entire explanation, blizzard wants to have a cripple in the game to be able to say they have cripple representation in-game, that's it, there's nothing else to it

>>714580071
Again, I feel like you're missing the point of what I'm asking, why must their in-game cripple be specifically in a wheel chair and not something interesting?

>>714580134
because creating a wheelchair equivalent is not as effective as an actual wheelchair? I thin that's pretty straight forward?

>>714579923
>he doesn't know

>>714580267
Why isn't it as effective? Effective at what? Who decided that and what was their justification?

this game just keeps falling lower and lower but it can't die because a minority of queer faggots shovel money into it for boosting and cash shop incentives. this is why game devs love to pander to fags, they are the ultimate whale opportunity. absolute devotion for nothing.

>>714580323
Jesus, with all of that you're better off being a cripple. It would actually be more impressive if a gang of rogues were able to steal the thing and auction it to the highest bidder. That thing has more enchantments then a lot of high level equipment would.

>>714581094
Wow isn’t a game

>>714579902
Its actually a monumental feat to fall off from grace this bad. I can't argue with a single point of why is it like this, you just need to go if you are involved with this. This is literally the only game when I hear something about it, the news are worse than the last one.

I just remembered a guy while reading this thread who is in his 30s makes his living by farming mats in mmos and selling it for IRL money, and how he can barely pay rent, and how he is struggling from month to month that he can barely afford the sub. Also an other one who the moment his parents will die he can safely go after them because he'll use their remaining wealth for a few years but after that its gonna be over for him.
If you still play this game the highlight of your life will be an occasional big mac, and if I was in this situation its either a loaded double barrel to the mouth or working in an animal shelter/ charity to feel useful.
These people are fucking DONE in life.

>>714564606 (OP)
what's the point of the wheels if he floats anyway?

>>714581634

>>714581884
It's the best choice of both being a weapon and allowing you to move faster.
Every player should be given a choice of getting one, for a special price of just $20.95 per character.
You can mow down your enemies with one and do 5% more damage.
It's objectively better in every way.
Some bosses will have one and it'll become necessary for at least a few people in your party to have one, if you don't have one you'll get kicked, ushering in a new meta.
