A dainty lady hanging on to the arm of a strong man was never really a "theme" in warcraft, at least not that I can remember. And at least when they redrew her they kept a feminine face and hips. Compared to slop like this >>717277640 the OP doesn't seem so bad.

The insulting part here is that in the new version, she's wearing mage tier 5 with stomach and cleavage showing.

Mage tier 5 in game shows niether. So the feminist propaganda new art is still somehow more sexy that the actual product allows.

>>717280578
it's a lazy edit using old assets retard, it's so lazy you can even see her fingers leftover on his shoulderplate. i wouldn't be surprised if the female blood elf art was as old as the other image

No, that is not a valid critique.
Complaining that an engine without cloth physics has model clipping on cloaks and capes is unreasonable.
Like complaining that a digital remaster of an old movie still has bad CGI.

>racemixing
It's not racemixing, it's bloodline colonisation. You're taking a black woman coming from a long ancestry of black parents, impregnating her with your superior white sperm, and having her bear healthy brown children. Your children will then intermarry with more white settlers. In two generations, her long, proud black ancestry is destroyed, meanwhile the negroid bucks are seething in the prisons and cotton fields. And before you say quadroons aren't white, 3/4ths German ancestry was considered by the Nazis to be Aryan, even if the 1/4th was subhuman.

>>717283983
funny as fuck that they made the woke version of this

>>717283983
The only thing she really scores on is ability (as high as Torbjorn, same disabilities basically). Ethnicity should be a bit higher than Lucio since she's some weird nigger/elf mutt. Culture, depends on what they define is as, but since she goes around and tells people that they need to stop being rayciss I guess it's going to be relatively high too. The rest is probably at the minimum.

Lord of the Clans. Thrall escapes being, well, a thrall with help from his surrogate sister, the blonde Taretha Foxton, who later becomes the mistress of Thrall's former slavemaster, who also forced Taretha's mother to breastfeed Thrall. After a time skip wherein Thrall leads the new Horde in revolt, Blackmoore gets Taretha pregnant, and when confronted by Thrall he orders her execution while drunk. He then throws her severed head from the battlements to Thrall.

>>717287595
It's wained in the books though. And you can by the fact how they mostly have Anduin sit around in the past few expansions even while promoting that he'd be more heavily involved. I'd assume the next few books and expansions will be full throttle Anduin again.

>>717287505
Knaak's novels were literally the beginning of the end for Warcraft lore but no one ever gives him shit for it

It's just as transparent to them, they just think "...and that's a GOOD thing!" because it's politically aligned with them. Admitting that it's good because of that is basically admitting that we're right, so they're trying to pre-emptively defend it by writing that hollow bullshit

Metzen is bringing over a few themes from Shadowlands so it's not totally forgotten, but for the most part they do try to pretend like it was never a thing. I mean come on, they should have known better. You don't fuck with the building blocks of your entire setting like the birth and death cycle, and the Gods. The idea that "the Gods are just robots created by the Titans" is fucking horrific.

still have this pic from like 2009

>>717288810
I unironically find BFA fascinating because it's full of really good ideas, artistically, and it's clearly intended to be the bigger and better Legion 2. Two continents, two huge capitals, the most new races ever, several faction campaigns, several expansion-release-level cinematics, multiple huge expensive features (Expeditions, Warfronts)...
then all of it was ruined by dissertation-worthy levels of developer arrogance, developer incompetence, and a genuinely horrible narrative tying it all together

They had it all and pissed it away for years, then doubled down on Shadowlands and successfully assassinated 16-odd years of IP interest. It's incredible

Yep, bfa is the only expansion to have more than one high quality cinematic. I played all of the patches and the amount of content was huge, most of them ended up being half-baked, warfronts were supposed to be huge and they had plans for 4 more iirc, but people didnt like the first two gameplay wise so they just abandoned all that content instead of just fixing up the gameplay.

Why bother shitflinging? All of these settings are being royally reamed by gays and women with too many piercings/tattoos/hair dye.

>I got to experience WarCraft for years where there wasn't a single minority in the entire world.
it will never not be funny to me that blacks and asians just appeared overnight, and for a time it was entirely localized to Stormwind. Before the model update the darkest skin tone was plain brown.

>>717290084
Never played it, but every time I hear about it there are people saying something was ruined. What's the status over there?

>>717290131
Yeah, random ass npcs are suddenly black or asian.

>>717290084
I wouldn't know. I don't know shit for dick about ESO or SWToR so I wouldn't know how good/bad it is.

>>717289753
It's not shitflinging, at least not from me. I prefered OG GW back in the day instead of WoW and when the 2nd one came I knew in the first few months what a shitfest foundation has and what will come. i was right along all the og's that screamed left and right. Good thing the faggots are keeping the servers on. It's sad for me to see this happen to other MMOs. I did not say it as a gotcha but as a sad, but truth comparison. To be frank I have no idea how any MMO can cleanse itself of this disease.

selling point for an entire xpac btw

it comes from a place of love. i've played both for at least 10 years at this point and seeing worlo decay as much as it has kinda hurts

>>717290201

>Blizzdrones are not ready for that conversation
Blizzdrones referring to the actual subset of bluesky.social.blm freaks who suck this shit down, they want it
Blizzdrones referring to what you're referring to, which is people that still even pay for Blizzard products, no longer care. Before SL and especially before BFA, even the number-go-uppers cared a bit about if what was going on was cool. The context.
Nowadays, nobody cares. There's basically no uproar about how goyed out Faerin and all of WoW is now because nobody cares enough about the game it's raping. The rare individuals that still care about WoW's story just try to pretend the horrid shit doesn't exist, but 95%+ of the playerbase doesn't pay a shred of attention to the pozslop
>tldr
WoW players don't care if the people pissing on WoW's corpse are pissing extra hard this patch or that patch because they stopped paying attention to that dead body after 9.1. Blizzard can do whatever they want to it now, it doesn't even matter

>>717278789
Heroes of WHAT?

>>717290201
I haven't played in a couple years either but I pop in and out and play for a few months every so often and always enjoy myself. I just treat it like a single player game though, really the only MMO I've found that works well for that type of playstyle.

Maybe you shouldn't have been creepy fucks wh owalked around on all fours around cubicles harassing female workers, inviting them to the rape dungeon. Then you could still have tits, ass and majority cool characters in game.

Wow gave everything the players ever wanted in Dragonflight and War Within and they managed to stay afloat after the shitshow that was shadowlands, honestly im glad, it really the last surviving big mmo, everything else is either dead or dying. When wow finally goes, its gonna be a sad day. You know whats gonna really suck balls tho? That shitty ass riot mmo thats gonna rape the corpse of mmos and destroy it forever.

>>717286006
Honestly sylvanas + anduin such a no-brainer move. How the fuck did they miss such an opportunity?

>>717290131
>>717290269
The strangest part is it actually makes sense for Humans. They very well could have just made a blurb talking about Humans migrating from the Southern Islands or something. Humans are scattered all over Azeroth. Shit like Black Elves though makes 0 fucking sense, that would need some hardcore lore retcons, so they just chose not to do anything at all.

>>717290235
>To be frank I have no idea how any MMO can cleanse itself of this disease.
Best bet is private servers rolling back expansions and patches, because all the official shit is intentionally scrubbed of problematic material.

>Blowing Hodir's Horn
>Raising Hodir's Spear
>Thrusting Hodir's Spear

Never forget.

>>717289339
people have been skipping cutscenes and quest text since the lich king died after an entire xpac of "i'll get you next time, gadget!!", maybe even earlier. XIVtroons don't like being reminded that people play games for gameplay, which wow is still the king of, not some dumbass Young Adult tier story. neither the erp chatroom XIV nor the zergfest GW2 "competition" will ever be real games.

>>717290604
>DF and TWW gave the players everything they ever wanted
horrible idea, dragonriding core was one of the worst decisions they've ever made and they're ALREADY paying for it

You can still see part of her fingers on his shoulder in the shopped image

>>717290421
All of this could have been avoided if they just never hired women.

WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED??? WHY IS EVERYTHING SO GAY, FEMININE AND STERILE NOW??? WHERE ARE MASCULINITY, BARBARITY AND GRITTINESS????

>>717290759
erm there's rape victims who play WoW so the entire flavor of the game needs to be changed to ensure that we don't traumatize victims, you incel

>>717290934
Blizzard always had women. "Problematic stereotypes" just became a thing when drunk employees started crawling around commenting on their colleagues' asses.

>>717290958
people don't want war in warcraft anymore

>>717290958
It's 2025, masculinity means being a better man

>>717290718
Anduin had plenty of eligible matches throughout the years, all of them more feasible than Sylvanas. Hell, they even made some up whole cloth just for him (Bolvar's daughter, don't remember her name). Could have chosen from Tess, Valeera, fucking Vanessa for generation drama, even Yrel if they wanted to be particularly ballsy.

>>717290805
I believe it is. Sunken costs are too much and they will release a pay-to-win mmo that fails in about 2 months.

reminder that the garrosh line of calling sylvanas a bitch was removed because a dev liked to play the game with his little daughter and it was "unnecessary"

>>717286516
epoch wow

>>717290746
>The strangest part is it actually makes sense for Humans.
Blizzard were so convinced this would be a bad idea they went out of their way to confirm in quest text that vaguely ethnic humans (Wastewander tribe, Stranglethorn settlers) were just migrants from one of the seven kingdoms.

Fuck yeah he could. Night Elves were badass savages and the women were sexy Amazonian babes. I miss the days when men could be men.

>>717290958

>>717290958
Anon, this is probably kinda hard to hear but the people you grew up playing WoW with all have careers and kids and dont play it anymore. WoW became so successful it became its own thing, completely unmoored from the old Warcraft RTS games, and just became this generic fantasy playground for a whole new generation of gay furry losers to escape to. The game is so old those genderqueer furries grew up and got jobs at Blizzard.

Just look at Dracthyr or Vulpera or the writers just forgetting the game already a centaur origin story, or the game itself looking like some weird Pixar meets League of Legends mobile game slop, the game is a stellar example of the Ship of Theseus paradox.

>>717291995
Man knew what he wanted, and it was bringing fantasy to the world.

The idea of the portrait is more reflective of Blood Elf culture TBC

The Belf starting zone shows most of the belves as being socialite airheads more interested in partying and getting drunk and pretending their kingdom hasn't half collapsed around them whilst authoritarian magisters magisters use mind control to stop protesting nobles and merchants.

Like they had this beautiful enchanted forest of splendour and living a lavish luxurious life and Arthas basically fucked their entire way of life upside down.

It makes sense that the Blood Elf men are portrayed as haughty "Look at how much power I have" types reminiscent of their previous "think highly of themselves" stature, bearing in mind these are descendants of the highborne that all thought themselves better than that night elves, a race that already thought themselves better than every other race.

It then follows suit that they'd portray belf women from this culture as being vain, clinging to their strong man, status obsessed etc. basically a reflection of vapid hollywood wives.

Of course that doesn't make them sound very STRONGWOMAN so it had to go
There is no room for nuance or realism, every woman must be STRONG

>>717278462
that sad part is i long for the days where gms existed to actually talk to you rather than just kicking you via automated means

>>717291635
They should have just put the people responsible for HOTS designs in charge of Everything from now on desu

Lmao

What kind of blind pajeets are they hiring now

>>717291635
well that would be because removing a rape victim is silencing rape victims.

>>717292512
he reacted to this >>717292224 too. does no one have a webm of that?

>>717292248
Such a shame how their dropped basically their entire characterization post TBC. Lost 90% of population in a genocide, had to siphon Fel because of it, became magic addled addicts. They were arrogant, ruthless, ambitious, and suspicious. Even mind controlled their own populace and used slave labor. But then it was all ripped away. Blizzard have done it to almost every single race of the Horde.

>>717292742
im on here more then i should be and ive never seen it posted

>>717292512
>unironically using the lord of cockroaches to prove your point

To those on /v/ who actually still play WoW, why?

>>717292971
you sucked his nuts when he still played wow

>>717290718
They probably didn't even think of it. All romance written by Blizz in the last years has been incredibly artificial and formulaic. "Here's your designated spouse" a la Thrall.
The bond between Anduin and Sylvanas developed in a fairly unexpected, unconventional manner, which leads me to believe it was completely accidental and Blizz never thought of developing it further than SL and Sylvanas' book.

>>717276425 (OP)
why do belves look so cool in concept art but like shit ingame?

>>717293114
stop projecting, dumbass. get some real friends instead of using streamers as your surrogate friends

>>717293174
Blizz models and animations are all fucking shit

Why are sensitive liberal faggots the type of people that get catered to?

>>717293248

>The bond between Anduin and Sylvanas developed in a fairly unexpected, unconventional manner
Elaborate. To my knowledge all she ever did was monologue in his general direction and he cried about something up until he got bodyjacked. Then she monologued beside him and he had terminal depression.

>>717293261
they have money and no internal monologue to tell them buying the 90 dollar dinosaur is encouraging bad practices
rightwing NEET are the opposite

>>717288381
I played the expansion's arathi zones with some of my friends. Her voice actor carries, she has a surprisingly soft and pleasant voice, but her character is an incredibly boring goody two-shoes, and its obvious its some kind of self-insert or token character

>>717291305
I'm not talking about a simple romance. The dynamic between them should've been explored more. Would've opened up plenty of opportunities to put her on the path of redemption without removing her from the story.

>>717293327
take your meds and stop having arguments with people you created in your head.

>>717293362
It's mostly on her book. Only a brief cutscene post-SL hints at their newfound mutual trust, which will most likely never be touched upon again

as a former Warcraft fan, this thread is making me genuinely irrationally angry.

MMOniggers are just as bad as gachaniggers, don't care which band are you on, blizzcucks or xivtroons.

>>717292224
This isn't actually from the game, right? If Blizzard does anything objectively great it is cinematics.

>>717293495
>m-mm-muh-muhmuhmuhmu muhh meds buhu
Biggest sign that you put someone in a tough spot, lmao.

>>717293524
mmofags are lower actually
at least gacha gets content regularly every two months or so. mmo insects go for half a year without content and pay monthly for the privilege

>>717293536
it's some alpha cinematic, will probably look a bit more polished when it releases

>>717293601
i accept your concession streamerkiddie, go drop another 100 dono bomb so someone knows you exist for the 5 seconds it takes to read out your message

>>717293515
Just download the old stuff and enjoy what you want. Ignore everything you can't keep on a disc.

>>717293607
>at least gacha gets content regularly every two months or so
post "the content"

>>717293615
>it's some alpha cinematic, will probably look a bit more polished when it releases
Didn't they already release the patch with the cutscene (unchanged) included?

>>717293607

What do we think of this iconic character?

>>717279538

Shut up MMOniggers, he is right, you are lower than a gachanigger
>Have to pay a montly fee to play
>Have to pay for cosmetics/mounts
>Have to pay for expansions/DLC even though it is a live service game

WORSE THAN GACHANIGGERS

>>717293815
lmao why? your non-existent content doesn't exist so how does it compete?
>>717293954
HAHAHAHAHA you don't get to laugh at any games' difficulty when you use addons to solve your scripted simon says, sorry blizztroon

>>717294019
tl;dr
post the "gacha content"

>>717278620
Where there Tauren back then?

WoW as a whole peaked with him

>>717284184
That's because they literally just made it up. Even the Pandarean; literal fucking pandas are more true to Warcraft lore than Dracthyr

>>717293927
I would certainly hope not, it looks like shit. But that's possible since I haven't touched the game since DF release

>>717294145
Still cant believe they didnt make the wow movie around his story.

>>717294143
Conceptually, yeah, just not in any game yet. Reign of Chaos came out in 2002, just four years later.

>>717294143
the artist signature on the bottom right literally says 98. yes anon concept art is created before the game releases, i know, very hard concept to grasp.

>>717293927
>>717294260
They did, that cutscene is in the patch kek. I played it.

>>717294019
Now that you are point it out, a lot of bad practices in the industry started with MMOs

>>717294260
Nope. It came out exactly as seen.

>>717290958
all the people who did that left, got outed, or got fired.
They got replaced with attention whoring idiots who couldn't give a shit about anyone else but themselves.

>>717288502
it was so they didnt have to make a new model skeleton so they just used the regular human skeleton

>>717278789
yes, thats warcraft.
You could do the same for the beginning of Hearthstone to current day and its pretty much the same idea.

>>717293536
All of nuWoW's in-game cutscenes are complete dogshit, the fuck do you mean lol

so ready for the season tomorrow lads, gonna be fun to blast mythics with the boys again

>>717294542
They could have used Bwonsamdis model, the troll model but better designed.

>>717276425 (OP)
They made her outfit more revealing?

>>717294662
?

faggots will literally burn down their own house just to own le chuds

>>717294662
Not all, when they try, they can look really good. This shitty ass cutscene was obviously made by an intern who gave no shits.

>>717294830
what are the chuds going to do? quit? they've sunk two decades of their life and hundreds if not thousands of dollars into this shit.

Still waiting for that renowned gacha content we should all be in awe of.

>>717276425 (OP)
so is it true that single player button assist is better than most people? i got a video recommended to me by the mick

>>717293954
well, yeah.

>>717294910
>what are the chuds going to do

>>717295035
when you consider most people are terrible at video games, yea. its a 20% dps loss to use the single button essentially. most people cant do their rotation 80% accurately with 100% uptime.

>>717294968
and i've already told you it's better than your non-existing content that stays in the over for 6 months by default. you faggots will just stonewall any counterargument like the addicted contrarians you are.
don't forget to buy the next 6 month sub mount!

>>717295035
By all measured metrics thus far? Yes. Including some "good" players. As the other anon has said, most players are just shit.

>>717294662
Depends. Some can be good, but yeah most feel lazy and lame.

*that* scene that's recent is probably the most pathetically inept shit ive ever seen in any video game. No excuses on why it ended up being that bad, everyone involved should have been fired on the spot.

>>717279605
They're the New Elwynnians!

Someone post the orc tourist.

Anyone get back into wow recently and have fun? I wish there were private servers that weren't so fucking slow

Biggest cope in this thread lol. XIV, GW2, and just about every other MMO on the market have better gameplay than WoW does at this point. ESO somehow manages to be worse but its the only one. Runescape doesn't count because its barely a video game.

>>717296498
you joke but wow's writing is unironically on the same par as capeshit and has been for a while

>>717296621
Depends.
The lowest capeshit has gone was probably The Marvels(im still trying to convince myself that this was actually a movie). WoW's pretty much barely above that since BFA.
