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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

The kingdom of Stromgarde was a separate entity from the Kingdom of Lordaeron.

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".

>>714574294

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.

my biggest problem with what i played with xiv is shit like this, you can be a ninja and stealth but... for what purpose besides avoiding enemies
it serves no game purpose other than a strictly combat related, theres no mechanic to it
also sexo mod but thats unrelated

>>714574635
>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
If only this game had some kind of mount you could ride... perhaps even magical flying ones... that would be very useful...

Turning this shit is going to be such a pain in the ass. Also how to identify the designer doesn't know how wheelchairs or trolleys/shopping cart work and just use magic to solve everything

>>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
just let him ride a gryphon, wasn't he given a giga gryphon by the dwarfs and it was a big deal during the wc2 events?

>>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)
If you have to use magic to summon a wheelchair why not just use magic to fucking float around

>>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 a setting where the dead can be brought back to life
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.

Sure, but the point was to highlight what is possible within the rules of the setting. I find it hard to believe the best healers in Azeroth would be unable to do anything about this sort of affliction.

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

>>714573924

>>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.
