>>717633115It is the appropriate take.
Genocide is always the optimal outcome.
>>717633285>NOOOO THEY WERE HECKIN ROGUE!Fuck off faggot
>>717633441The sacking of Taurajo was done by dirlewangers against orders, yes, but even if it wasn't it would still not be worse than the average horde action.
>>717633591we're not comparing, we're acknowledging that the alliance doesn't have clean hands.
>>717633115Californians kind of just overlook that the Horde are fascist, imperialist invaders. They're less civilized and organized into tribes which, to many retards, means that they MUST BE black/indigenous people, due to their innate bigotry. So they project their own belief in the inherent virtue of black/indigenous people onto the Horde and then see the Alliance as "white-coded." So the internment camps are no longer just a reasonable response to the events of a fantasy setting (and a reasonable punishment for the invasion and genocides committed by the orcs) but instead they are now an allegory for slavery or some stupid shit.
Most reasonable people accept that the Horde are the bad guys and that's the entire point. It's fun to be the edgy monster guy with inhuman morality that wouldn't think twice about slaughtering a bunch of humans despite still having a code of honor. Nobody's joining the faction made up of berserk space aliens, hulking minotaurs, cannibalistic jungle beasts, and undead bioterrorists to be the morally righteous person. Granted, the writers for WoW have always been a bit schizo when it comes to the Horde and wanting them to both be the villainous monsters of WC1 and 2 and the more honorable tribesmen of WC3.

>>717630661 (OP)Better racials, blood elves, the fact that the story focuses on them so much, and the fact that more people play on the horde so players gravitate there
>>717633903>the fact that more people play on the horde so players gravitate thereis this still true? i quit in bfa.
>>717633818God, I miss that man. Now that was a fucking Warchief.
>>717633818Akshually Sylv- I mean Putress did, but Garrosh probably would have 5 minutes later anyway to be fair.
>>717633903Not sure what particular expansion your bias is from but World of Warcraft's story is focused on Alliance characters almost all the time.
>>717630661 (OP)Why would anyone play WoW at this point?
>>717633978Garrosh was unironically peak Horde and we've been shit ever since we were robbed of him.
>>717634024Same reason he would post on /v/. Sunk cost, familiarity, addiction.

>>717634061The shit Blizzard had to pull when they realised players were expressing wrongthink by liking Garrosh is staggering.
>>717634180i bet he put his fat green cock into that human's mouth afterwards. it's the fate of all alliance players.
>>717633998How do you reach this conclusion? Cata- thrall, mop - garrosh, wod - iron horde, legion - nightborne join the horde for some reason, bfa - sylvanas, shadowlands - sylvanas, dragonflight - highmountain guy becomes leader of the black dragons over wrathion, tww - thrall stars in a cinematic depsite doing nothing in the expansion ,gallywix and gazlowe star in the .1 patch, and the alliance is forced to work with the horde goblin faction, midnight - takes place in silvermoon. The only expansion that didn't focus on the horde is tbc and wrath
>>717633115This is kinda nuts though. What does a Californian seriously want? Once you defeat the invading (presumed to be) demons with a bloodlust who tried to genocide you and your allies for no reason, just instantly give them a country of their own? Where?
>>717634180it's weird that "kek" came from world of worldcraft but "bur" didn't catch on. and what time period was "lel"?
I find the whole orc cuck stuff rather odd. Night Elves are larger and more imposing than orcs and lanklet trolls. Tauren are based though.
>>717634320I like how you equate horde leaders becoming comically evil genocidal villains to an expansion being "horde focused".
>>717630661 (OP)>implying worlo devs give a fuck about the storybro I literally murdered a pandarian nurse and the wounded alliance soldiers and in a few quests i was being buddy buddy with alduin as if nothing happened.
>>717634437kek did not come from World of Warcraft. It's literally just a coincidence. No one who played WoW actively typed kek, it only showed up if you got ganked and the horde player typed it in /s. The meme kek is from /sp/ and is just a further corruption of lel, which was a corruption of lol.
>>717634320>legion>horde focusedyou're a bit of a comedian, aren't you?
>>717633063>retard can't comprehend that he lives in a society lol

>>717634437Back in the day if you played horde you'd sometimes see people use bur ironically and/or to indicate the alliance acting like asshats
>Stevebones: This ?? nelf hunter has been camping me all morning>Tomzugzug: BUR!
>>717634513Yes, if a story focuses on a horde character, it is horde focused. As OP said, the horde being evil is kind of their thing. There's a reason their most popular characters are garrosh and sylvanas
>>717634686>the race of people we helped for half of the expansion going horde for no reason in particular is not horde focusedThe only funny thing here is your lack of critical thinking skills

>>717635204>>717635135It's very weird to me how this simple fact makes zoomer faggots shit themselves in impotent rage. "kek" was never a thing in WoW. It was never actively typed by anyone. It was an observation, "oh, when horde players type lol it says that". It was never anything more. But again, keep embarrassing yourselves. It is very fucking funny and genuinely gratifying to me.
>>717634320>Cata- thrallSick of this meme, Cata was a HARD Night Elf focus, Thrall got one lame questline about repairing his soul and pressed his execute button on Deathwing, that was it. Firelands was all about Night Elves, Dragon Soul required you to go through MULTIPLE dungeons droning about the history of the Night Elves.
>>717635305Anon, no one is going to side with you if you can't make an actual argument and just say "no I'm right". You've yet to explain how I'm wrong.

How does anything you just said make sense in your head? Do you even pay attention to the story you're currently seething about?
>>717636781So Arthas and illidan are alliance characters after all, thanks for clearing up your own argument.
since this is the latest active wow related thread(after epoch committed suicide) i have a question:
How long until I can use LLMs to simulate conversations/characters in a single player private server until cata?
>>717636736>forsaken as a faction existed solely for revenge against the lich kingThis characterization is not quite right. In WC3, Sylvanas isn't just seeking revenge. Otherwise, she wouldn't really care about taking over Lordaeron from the Dreadlords who betrayed Arthas and would have allied with them entirely. I think it's entirely fair to characterize Sylvanas as a Machiavellian power player rather than just a vengeful spirit.
Wrath was just a poorly written expansion, because WoW writers wanted to make the Horde look heroic and sweep its flaws under the rug (and then, of course, Garrosh comes).
>>717636861Illidan isn't part of the alliance because he was exiled before the night elves joined the alliance. Arthas isn't part of the alliance because he never did anything for them. He was born into it as the prince of lordaeron, culled stratholme, and then destroyed his kingdom. he never had a chance to be a part of the alliance. If you're going to seethe about a story, you should atleast read it
>>717630661 (OP)uhh pic unrelated? did you forget the alliances war crimes?
>>717636885I thought there already was an LLM integration.
>>717630661 (OP)To learn how to commit crimes IRL.
>>717636861>ArthasI think it's fairly ridiculous to disclaim young Arthas, since the Human/Alliance campaign in WC3 is all about Arthas. However, by WoW he is 100% Scourge and not Alliance. WC3 ends with him fighting Illidan as a mortal enemy, who you claim is also Alliance.
>IllidanIllidan helps the Alliance in one mission in WC3. The next appearance he makes is in the service of Kil'Jaeden and along the Naga. Unless you're going to tell me that the Burning Legion is part of the Alliance, it's ludicrous to treat Illidan as Alliance.
The Horde comparisons to these characters would be Varimathras (who was always plotting to betray Sylvanas) or the High Elves in the Alliance (who were never Horde to begin with).
>>717637430Oh boy, let's directly quote
>>717636781To prove your own retardation.
>Grommash, Garrosh and Orgrim are all heavily associated with the horde, they named their capital after Orgrim evenLet's see who Illidan is associated with
>night elves, alliance faction >tyrande, alliance leader>malfurion, alliance leader>maiev, neutral-ish night elf Seems like a strong association with the alliance to me. But wait! I hear you burble, gears in your head desperately turning, Illidan went to outland and became a raid boss before the night elves joined the alliance. Oh wait, Orgrim died before the horde we know today was even formed, so that's useless as an argument.
Now let's look at Arthas. Can we say he's strongly associated with alliance characters? Yes we can, he barely interacted with orcs at all in warcraft 3. But those were all part of a slightly different alliance! (Apart from Jaina) Surely that's a clear win for me! Oh wait, there's an alliance settlement named after him too, Menethil harbor. Guess he's alliance material. Unless you're a hypocrite of course?
>>717637903You can leave a faction and still be associated with that faction, unless you want to go right back to
>>717636498
>>717635690Don't forget that awesome questline in Legion where Tyrande berates you for something you didn't do and drags you around doing errands for her and Horde can't tell her to fuck off in any capacity but escorting Baine to visit Highmountain got the bluebabies fidgeting in their chairs too much so they cut it.
>>717638232>there's an alliance settlement named after him too, Menethil harborMenethil is the name of Lordaeron's ruling family. That comparison is like saying Trump Tower is named after Kai Trump.
>>717638446>You can leave a faction and still be associated with that factionThere's a difference between stepping out of the spotlight and leaving. Thrall never formally left the Horde, just stepped out from being Warchief. Garrosh was Warchief in SoO (and you only fight him so the Horde can be good boys). I can't speak for Sylvanas in SL because I never touched that expansion.
Compare that with Arthas, who burned down his kingdom and slaughtered his own people, or with Illidan, who was a pawn of the Burning Legion until Legion.
>>717638232Grommash, Garrosh and Orgrim have all been a part of the horde. Two of them were warchiefs. Illidan has never been a part of the alliance, what is your argument here?
>Illidan went to outland and became a raid boss before the night elves joined the allianceWhat? The night elves were a part of the alliance in tbc. Do you even play the game?
>Orgrim died before the horde we know today was even formedThe game literally says it's the same horde. Again, do you even play the game?
>Menethil harborHis father was king menethil, menethil is his last name, it's not named after arthas, it's named after the crown.
It's becoming very obvious you don't even play the game, let alone know the story you're seething about.
>>717639068Come on man, the dude is the brother of the Night Elf faction leader. You're really going to tell me people wouldn't have cried Horde favoritism in Cata if it was Melvin, Exiled Brother of Thrall getting the Earth Aspect?
>>717638974Garrosh slaughtered plenty of his own people, by the time we were raiding orgrimmar there were two distinct hordes. I don't remember arthas ever formally handing over the keys to lordaeron either.
is it legal for druids to have sex in their animal forms?
>>717639068...dude, Illidan left for outland in WC3. You do know there were games before wow right?
>>717639237Yes but only with other druids. There was a big trial over it, baine lost the case. Again.
>>717639431ok what about tauren having sex with other races? is that legal?
>>717635643Kek comes from StarCraft althoughbeit
>>717639468Not recommended, you either get hotdog in a hallway scenario or you have to tell the spirit healer why you have to res from ruptured organs.
>>717639163If thrall disliked his brother melvin, imprisoned him for years, and banished him before he created the horde then yes I would not consider melvin a horde character, and I would not consider cata a horde expansion if he became green jesus instead. I don't consider arthas an alliance character and I never said wrath was an alliance expansion.
>>717639312Yes, but he did not become a raid boss before the night elves joined the alliance. It was after they joined that he became a raid boss
>>717639505but popularized by wow's translation of lol into kek
>>717639731He was in raid boss mode, they just hadn't gotten around to him yet.
>>717639731So WoD isn't a horde expansion.
>>717630661 (OP)to play as a goblin/vulpera onahole (that humans use).
>>717639869I know a lot of people would argue him becoming a raid boss was a waste of his character, but I see what you're saying now
>>717639945>A expansion starring major characters of the horde is not a horde expansionWere you dropped on your head as a baby?
>>717639068>the game literally says that it's the same horde. Again do you even play the game?The game LITERALLY says that orgrim's horde was a precursor comprised of demon worshipping orcs, Amani forest trolls and ogres. It split up after the dark portal was closed and is called the old horde to distinguish it from the one thrall founded after orgrim's death. The remnants on azeroth still loyal to the old horde regrouped around rend blackhand and camped out in blackrock mountain, while the ones trapped in outland became the fel horde serving under illidan. Do you even play the game?
>>717630661 (OP)alliance had a lot more fags
>>717631971>I hate burger hours.I'm pretty sure indians lead the way in cuck and blacked shit.
>>717640418Multiple orc characters in the "new" horde are characters who were in the "old" horde, multiple of these characters are regarded as heroes to the "new" horde, and a large part of the horde story is making up for the shit they did in the "old" horde. It seems as though you don't play the game.
>>717640827So Arthas is an alliance character. We can do this all day dude.
>>717640945>So Arthas is an alliance characterHave you not been paying attention to this entire thread? This has been brought up and debunked multiple times
>>717641292Multiple human characters in the "new" alliance are characters who were in the "old" alliance, multiple of these characters are regarded as heroes to the "new" alliance, and a large part of the alliance story is making up for the shit they did on the "old" alliance. It seems as though you don't play the game.
>>717633660>illainous monsters of WC1 and 2 and the more honorable tribesmen of WC3. the horde basically isn't either anymore. it has almost no plot agency and hasn't had any in about a decade. Its most important characters now are undead and elven women. All of its even marginally nationalistic or horde focused leaders are dead or MIA
>>717641730Reminder that lorthemar is the longest serving horde leader alive today. (Thrall doesn't count because of his repeated bitch outs)
>>717641443until their hooves come out and you realize they don't have human feet
>>717630661 (OP)>Why would anyone want to play the war criminal faction?People that enjoy getting paid bonuses for having a good time. $100 for every civilian casualty with a 25% tip on every section eight housing complex flattened with artillery.
>Cairne dies in offscreen during Cata
>Garrosh turns evil in MoP, and then dies in WoD
>Vol'Jin does fuckall on WoD, and then dies like a bitch in Legion
>Sylvanas turns evil in BfA, and then something happens to her in Shadowlands idk I stopped playing
Even if the Horde was allowed to make fun warcrimes they'd just get another of their leaders killed. But I guess Tirion Fordring and Varian dying during Legion makes up for all the Horde bias?
>>717641642>Has no argument so you're just repeating what I saidThis is why I love arguing with retards, they refuse to just admit they're wrong and instead spiral and post fun shit. Yes, the old alliance is the new alliance same as the horde. The difference between someone like Orgrim and Arthas is that Orgrim led the horde and is a hero to thrall, another person who led the horde. Arthas didn't do anything for the "old" alliance, and isn't a part of the "new" alliance.
>>717641987Horde has been dead since Blood Elves were introduced.
>>717641987You don't understand how hard the alliance have it, mekkatorque had to sit down for a whole patch and Jaina almost broke a nail after effortlessly destroying the entire golden fleet and killing rastakhan.
>>717641812Yeah, it basically feels like the Horde no longer exists as a faction since it's only allowed to have plot agency when its leaders are the villain of the expansion
>Thrall JUSTed his reputation, power and relevance for almost no reason, no one cares about him anymore and he's MIA >Garrosh character assassination from Cata to MOP, killed >Vol'jin warchief for 1 expansion, dies without doing anything but not before being mindraped to make Sylvanas warchief >Sylvanas leads the horde solely to fulfill a terribly written background plot told after the fact (BFA->Sneedolands is all J'lor manipulation) Honestly trolls, orcs, and undead feel like they're all in a state of regime collapse as individual groups while Tauren, Nightborne and Belfs are becoming more isolatied. Elven part of the Horde has no common goals or culture with Thrall's horde and literally invited a bunch of humans to come to the Lor'themar/Thalyssra wedding.
imo trashing thrall was the biggest screwup, just feels pointless
>>717642021>repeat back your own argument so you can see that you're just using rules for thee and not for me>you don't get it for half a threads worth of posts, conclude I'm just shitpostingArthas was a hero of the alliance, just as Orgrim was a hero of the horde. he was first in line to rule it before he went mad.
>>717642363Sylvanas was definitely a victim of the writing team getting completely trashed multiple times. Same with Jaina.
>>717642426>conclude I'm just shitpostingI never said you're shitposting, I said you're retarded, realized you're wrong, and are now spiraling and desperately trying to get the last word. Your argument is that arthas is an alliance character, but nobody has ever argued that except for you. There is a major difference between being a prince in the alliance and destroying your kingdom before you get a chance to rule, and ruling over the horde and being a role model to the horde. It's not rules for thee and not for me if they're two different rules
>>717642892We're slowly seeing progress, you've reached the answer that arthas was a hero and prince of the alliance, now we just need that to meet up with the "Arthas isn't an alliance character" mental block you've built and consider why those two shouldn't exist at the same time. Let's start you off: leaving the faction doesn't mean you're not going to be associated with that faction, we can conclude that through characters like Garrosh, Bolvar and Thrall. So that must mean...
>>717642021The issue here is that the question isn't whether the characters were actually on the Alliance but how relevant they are (if at all) to each side. Ultimately characters like Arthas and Illidan getting spotlight feels like Alliance centricism because their stories are heavily bound up with Alliance figures and perspectives
>Arthas (Human) is responsible for the big WC3 catastrophe: the collapse of the entire northern half of the Alliance (mostly human kingdoms, special focus on Lordaeron). He's bitterly considered the worst traitor to humanity ever >Illidan's story is completely intertwined with Tyrande and Malfurion from the ground up. His character arc only makes sense in reference to his desire for prestige within and later betrayal of night elven society., in the end he has his player character champion deliver his final words to Tyrande + Malfurion That's why something like Legion felt like extreme Alliance centricism, even if Velen (peacemonger), Khadgar (kinda neutral), Illidan (renegade from night elven society) aren't wearing blue lion tabards. The story is still being driven by Alliance races and told from those perspectives
Similarly, I'd say if we had some new blackrock remnant orc character that wasn't on the horde be a new major character, I'd say that that is horde centric because they would undoubtedly be bringing up horde history constantly
>>717643464>arthas was a hero and prince of the allianceHe is not a hero of the alliance though, do you even read my posts anon, or is the seethe blinding you? Not only is there no character who would consider him a hero of the alliance, or even a hero in general, no fan of the game except you would consider him one. The mental gymnastics you're doing to reach this point are astounding.
>>717643810He is literally the human faction hero character in WC3 campaign.
>>717643802>Ultimately characters like Arthas and Illidan getting spotlight feels like Alliance centricism because their stories are heavily bound up with Alliance figuresThat's completely reasonable, although I'd argue that doens't apply to illidan in legion because for whatever reason they didn't have him interact with malfurion or tyrande, what was that about anyways?
>>717644027>interacting with the people who cucked you, banished you and tried to kill you 3 times after saving their asses twice alreadyVelen was just more fun and Maiev seething was enough I guess.
>>717643912Are we now equating humans with the alliance? Is your whole problem just autism?
>>717644027>although I'd argue that doens't apply to illidan in legion because for whatever reason they didn't have him interact with malfurion or tyrande, what was that about anyways Pretty much just bad writing. That was also at a time when night elves were basically doing nothing so Malf + Tyrande got little screentime. The later Night Warrior thing was a reaction to people at the time of Legion bitching that night elves had been sidelined
Still, I'd say he didn't need to actually interact with them to make it "alliance centric" because his entire personality and arc is based on his relationship to the night elves (+getting cucked by Malf). Like, why would horde members give a shit about his Betrayer title. He didn't betray them, he betrayed the nelfs. That's my point
>>717644210Oh we've regressed. The human campaign in WC3 follows the alliance of lordaeron which we already covered is still associated with the alliance of stormwind.
>>717644121>Velen was just more funWith that they did to malf and tyrande in bfa you might be right it was better this way
>>717644345>regressedMy point has stayed the same, you're the one constantly doing mental gymnastics to argue a point you've come to realize is wrong. He was a prince of lordaeron, but he is no hero of the alliance. You don't even believe he's an alliance character
>>717636124based
for me it's holing up in Dun Garok and causing massive questing pileups from ambushing groups until I hit sergeant
>>717635690Didn't Legion have a moment planned where Baine took charge but Alliance fans complained and he was cut out the Highmountain storyline?
Disregard any retail playing faggot who talks about war crimes in Warcraft.
>>717630661 (OP)>Why would anyone want to play the war criminal faction?There are 10,000 other settings that do "humans and dwarves doing first edition D&D things" better than Warcraft does. It's something I've seen a million times already, so it doesn't grab my attention at all. If I want to do the humans and dwarves walking around castles and forests thing, I can play a ton of other video games or table-top roleplaying games that specialize in that. I don't often have the ability to play as a zombie, minotaur, or green caveman.
They look cool, too.
>>717645446back in cataclysm baine was ready to open the gates of mulgore and butcher every alliance dog for what they did to taurajo back. they even had the voiceline recorded
instead they made him the biggest cuck in the game
>>717645782What they did to baine is a travesty, in DF they had a questline where he goes and massacres a bunch of centuar, and the lesson at the end is these aren't the centaur I'm mad at, I'll still probably massacre those centaur if I get a chance tho. Why does this game sometimes give you a glimpse at a bunch better character?
>>717630661 (OP)Alliance can play as Man'ari now, which are omnicidal war criminals on a scale that mankind simply cannot imagine.
i just think spikes, tusks, wolves, axes, and heavy metal are rad, what can i say?
>>717633068It's so fucking funny. The Horde have been bitching about Taurajo for 15 years. It's all they have. After their faction literally had Sylvanas trying to commit "omni-cide." She wanted to kill everyone. Horde, Alliance, and just random people.
>>717636885You already can anon. Take the Single Player Project Pill.
>>717646223>The Horde have been bitching about Taurajo for 15 yearsAnd Alliance have been bitching about the Warcraft 3 TFT bonus campaign for 22 years. Alliance asspainery has a long, storied history.
>>717630661 (OP)Humans in the alliance alone have done more heinous shit than the Horde collectively
>>717630661 (OP)Alliance races are all boring
>>717633105The elves ruin it
>>717633660The horde isn't fascist or imperialist they're just no shoes nigger marauders
Empires aren't necessarily evil, in fact the grand proud Imperial aesthetic is actually appealing to most people
>>717646703Alliancefags love to talk shit about the orcs being duped by the Burning Legion and yet one of those very orcs, as a disembodied spirit in a block of ice thousands of miles away, manipulated tons of humans into becoming death fanatics.
The Cult of the Damned only came into existence because Ner'zhul and Kel'Thuzad were able to appeal to the disgruntled peasantry who had it so bad that serving death itself and working towards the end of the world seemed preferable to continuing as things were.
>blizzard makes the horde muh dindu nuffin ackshually it's the [good guys] that are bad
>both sides feel like mockeries
>jew workshop makes chaos flat out unironic evil and proud of how violent and evil they are
>everyone likes it
>>717646923Fuck off, Chud.
>>717646923Orcs blew up their own planet. The Cult of the Damned did not do that. If you really want me to blow you the fuck out, I also just have to mention anything related to Sylvanas from 2018 onward. The Horde should not exist after Battle For Azeroth. I don't mean that as a meme. there's no logical reason why a faction that had a leader whose goal was "to kill everyone" should continue to exist.
>>717646703-Everything Defias Brotherhood related
-Baited a hostile response from the Horde by attempting to build a mega trade route in the middle of Durotar to Dustwallow Marsh
-Allowed Kel'Thuzzad to practice necromancy in the Kirin Tor despite knowing he was forming the cult of the damned
-Did nothing when they found out about the Scholomance shenanigans
-Betrayed the High Elves during the 3rd war wrapup
-Betrayed the Dwarves during the 3rd War wrapup
-Alteraci and Gilnean kingdoms betrayed everyone during the second war
-Medivh in general
-Everything SI7 does
-Gilnean empire letting 2/3rd of their population die because they didn't want to bother helping with the Scourge
-Arthas in general
-Lordaeron watching everyone die because they didn't want to quarantine and investigate
The Horde has an identity crisis. Are they "noble savages" who want to be left alone to their own devices in their little crevices of the world? Are they monsters who kill and rape and eat everything in sight, destroying swaths of land despite a resource shortage? Are they honorable good guys and allies in times of crisis? Are they eternal victims who think their past mistakes, demon blood, undeath or self-destructive ways make them sympathetic? Are they bits of everything, while destroying an entire narrative in the game? This is the problem with WoW going on for so long.
>>717647041>>717646923And don't forget Camp Taurajo
Where's the guy that posts the hearthstome art comparing wc1 era art to it?
>>717647041Yeah, no. The Horde still had a leader whose goal was "omni-cide." She wanted to kill everyone to "better the plans of the jailer."
>>717647014I don't care about "lore" after Vanilla. In any case, the Cult of the Damned were working towards destroying the whole planet via undeath. Just because they failed doesn't mean they weren't trying.
what the fuck is this thread?
it would be hilarious to see the ip counter
this looks like someone is copypasting chatgptshit into the void
alliancesissies? our response!?
>>717647041+Literally causing the entire Forsaken bad ending because they didn't even give the ambassador 2 seconds to explain they retained all their memories and were working on ways to cure the plague of undeath
>>717647167>I don't care about "lore" after VanillaI mean you can't just pick and choose this stuff. It's incredibly retarded, but it happened. Also, the Cult didn't want to destroy Azeroth. It wanted to turn it undead. Undeath isn't total destruction. Arthas' plan was to have a unified Azeroth to take on the Legion. And considering the Legion was beaten through unity, that probably wasn't totally impossible on his part.
Being a war crminal is based, but horde is nowhere near that. They be stupid nigger boys who didndoo nuffin. Undeads are closer to that dark edgy vibe.
>>717631081>tbc>classicconsecrate yourself
>>717647184That's bullshit. Even in Vanilla the Forsaken were doing heinous shit to totally innocent people. Let's also not forget that Sylvanas killed Garithos, who had trusted her, and followed through on helping her.
>>717635401The entire Maelstorm is held open by the Horde
>>717633612>Backstabs the alliance while they fight arthas's armyHe nothing personal
>>717636736Wut, all the important dungeons, the three that released last have Sylvanas doing shit in them
>>717647284I actually can. I don't care that your introduction to Warcraft was through Battle for Azeroth or some shit, I don't give a shit about anything after Vanilla.
In any case,
>Also, the Cult didn't want to destroy Azeroth. It wanted to turn it undead. Undeath isn't total destruction.Lmfao. Thank you for revealing that you have a double digit IQ. And then the appeal to nulore about what Arthas's "real plan" was LOL.
>>717647358It's literally in the opening fly over introduction of the Forsaken.
Also the lore was after the Horde took in the Forsaken, their motives changed because now they 100% knew the Alliance would never take them back - the same people they considered kin and friend
Also Garithos tried to have Sylvannas, Kael'thas, and the Dwarven company killed multiple times in the campaign while keeping his human forces as far away from actual danger as possible
>>717639163>Come on man, the dude is the brother of the Night Elf faction leader.He was straight up exiled from his own faction before humies were a thing on the planet and exiled AGAIN before the Alliance was even formed
Stop trying to force shit retard
>>717647454That was his plan in Wrath. Like, whatever, dude. You're sitting here and saying, "stuff that happened doesn't count cause I don't like it." And okay. They happened though.
>>717646096>Alliance can play as Man'ari nowBut why and how
>>717647170>IP counterNah country flags and post ID's work better to see samefags and trogs.
>>717647465No, even in Vanilla, the Forsaken were shady, and trying to create a plague that would kill everyone. The Forsaken were consistently always evil. The problem is, Blizzard has schizophrenia, and they do two things with them and the orcs: have them commit some horrible act, and then go, "but we are noble, and misunderstood."
Anyone who played WoW past Cata knows Blizzard has totally fucked over the Horde in terms of redemption stuff. Garrosh and Sylvanas makes them an irredeemable faction. They should not be in the game. They exist solely because they're a recognizable brand.
>>717647170I envy XIV chuds, they never once have to even wonder what their non-sensical lore is about. Just cute girls doing funny things
>>717647517Yeah, nobody cares about retail and everyone agrees the writing went to shit starting with TBC. (Hell, the writing that had to justify a lot of the decisions for Vanilla was shit, too. Undead on Horde, Night Elves on Alliance, etc.)
But yeah, trying to cover the world in undeath is the same as destroying it. The Cult of the Damned were working towards this goal before Arthas fused with the Lich King and became one. The nulore from Wrath about him taking control is retarded, gay, and worth dismissing, just like discussing anything that happened after patch 1.11.
>>717647621it's all in game
you wouldn't get it
How are the horde war criminals when they are actively at war with the alliance? If anything the alliance have more directly stated war crimes against the horde like killing the undead emissaries on sight. This being before they even joined the horde. Both factions have several warfronts afterall they arent friendly.
>>717647620Vanilla may be that, but we're discussing the entirety of the Lore, as in WC to WoW
The statement is - in the lore- the Alliance straight merc'd the ambassador of the Forsaken, whos plan was to explain that despite being undead, they still retained all their memories and loyalties and we're looking for a cure to the plague of undeath
You can try to paint it however you want, but Sylvannas did at least TRY to field the option that would best satisfy the wants of the undead humans.
When they killed the Ambassador, that's when shit went to evil mode
>>717647620Oh fuck off, yeah the undead side is right but the orc side is more clear cut in that orcs aren't a singular unified nation and have lots of clans in them from day 1
Next you'll tell me North Korea has the same laws as Mexico or some shit
Hell, Garrosh is quite literally not even on our fucking planet when vanilla was the main thing
>>717647620They don't space out the atrocities, and the Forsaken should've never been a playable faction. They also don't give the Alliance any nuance, they always feel like a babysitter faction with gloves on. From Vanilla it should've simply been Orcs, trolls, Tauren and goblins. Then ogres in TBC.
>>717647761>the Forsaken should've never been a playable factionI always liked the idea that they would be a nootral faction which was the original design for them
>>717630661 (OP)>So, you're saying the Orcs fled to a different continent to make a new life for themselves?>Fuck that! HOUND THEM TO THE ENDS OF THE FUCKING EARTH TO PUT THEM BACK IN CHAINS!At some point, whatever wrong they do is the fault of humans. Yeah, I get that in Warcraft 1 they're just one-dimensional evil monsters, but during classic they just genuinely wanted to make a new start, and the Alliance was starting all kinds of shit for no fucking reason.
Orcs may be bad, but humans are disgusting in that universe too.
>>717647567Questline added at some point, I think maybe Shadowlands? You go back to Argus and the Krokul introduce you to some Man'ari defectors who are penitent. They claim that they had little choice in following the Legion because Kil'jaden was always peaking into their minds and looking for potential traitors. Guessing that any traitors he found ended up executed or worse (like getting mooshed together into one of those Ur'zul things).
>>717647739Before they sent that ambassador, Sylvanas killed Garithos, someone, who, despite being an asshole, was still in a leading position of the Alliance. That happened in Warcraft III. She fucked up first.
>>717647826>Sylvanas killed Garithos>>717647465
>next expansion is most likely going to shove a bunch of alliance characters into silvermoon and is going to focus on uniting the elves
Why did this game become so gay?
>>717647567its just red draenei
>>717647851I know what you wrote. That still does not change anything. Garithos helped Sylvanas, and wasn't in an actively antagonistic role with her. He wanted Lordaeron City, which Sylvanas DID promise him. But then she decided to kill him, and take the city for herself. That happened. That happened in Warcraft III. Blizzard likes to ignore it, because it was supposed to be a "fuck yeah, screw that asshole," moment. But then Blizzard wrote Sylvanas as being way more evil than Garithos ever was.
>>717647761>the Forsaken should've never been a playable factionThe amount of factions that should have been non-playable is pretty big
>Night Elves>Goblins>Forsaken>Pandaeran>Dracthyr>Whatever the fuck the stone dwarves are called >Every other elf faction past Night Elf
>>717647620>forsakenThe totally not sex slaves, experimentation on innocents, recruitment of necromancers that joined the scourge willingly. I'm probably forgetting a lot more stuff from vanilla and I heard blizz edited a lot of the forsaken's problematic stuff anyways.
>>717647871there are no factions anymore
its just a fantasy world centered around elves because theyre the only races people play
>>717647871Yep, finally reclaiming another alliance city
Fuck you green skin
>>717631971If you see a woman and immediately fantasize about being cucked, I don't think americans are the problem.
Did you know all fel orcs are dead
why would you give a shit about wow lore after shadowlands
it basically fucked the entire setting in the ass
>>717647929Garithos was a military leader of an Alliance force, he never had political presence, and even then it was to a now defunct kingdom - and he did so little in terms of "help" he might as well have just posted his name on a piece of paper with Sylvannas to carry in the battles
He was a moronic throwaway and voided his own requests by only trying to welch on his end of the deal via last person standing (Help us secure Lordaeron and drive out the scourge/legion)
>>717633660>Californians kind of just overlook that the Horde are fascist, imperialist invaders. They're less civilized and organized into tribes which, to many retards, means that they MUST BE black/indigenous people, due to their innate bigotryThen the entirety of /v/ must be Californians, because you people have been calling the Horde black and black-related racial slurs since the game first launched back in 2004.
>>717647945>The totally not sex slavesThe don't procreate, and their human systems don't function
Fuck off with this weird fetish shit
>>717648097>why would you give a shit about wow lore after shadowlandsAfter patch 1.11*
>>717641976Hooves >>>>> feet
>>717648137He and Sylvanas teamed up. They were on the same faction. Sylvanas killed him and betrayed him. An Alliance character in a leadership position. It's hypocritical to ignore this, and then blather on about Alliance killing "forsaken ambassadors." Years later, almost every negative thing possible about the Forsaken people could accuse them of, came true, by the way. They are an almost unsalvageable faction, and Blizzard currently essentially has given them no way of "reproducing," so they're all going to die out.
>>717630661 (OP)Because playing as an evil zombie guy who kills and eats people is fucking badass, you limp-dicked tard
>>717648239why start there who gives a fuck about the lore after wc1
>>717630661 (OP)might makes right
>>717647620>"but we are noble, and misunderstood."I don't even think that applies to the forsaken.
They're often very spiteful and miserable, even the ones who are less war crime-inclined.
They're very open about their feelings toward the living, and they're not good.
It's just often excused/glanced-over because they're "powerful allies"
>BFA
>Jaina kills zandalari leader
>it takes entire raid to take her down
>but actually she doesn't lose and she just teleports away because we're a waste of time
Boy I just love being part of the horde
Also thrall cheated.
>>717633712Unprovoked XD LEARN AT LEAST BASIC LORE FAGGOTS
GARROSH:DEATHWING HAS DESTROYED OUR WATER SUPPLY, NELF GIVE US WATER OR WE WILL COME AND FUCK YOUR WIFES
NELFS:LOL YOU GAY
GARROSH:OK THEN IT WAR NOW
I just like playing as undead characters.
Alliance players are pussies.
Varian declared war on the Horde during WotLK and Alliance cried so hard about it that Blizzard had to retcon it in a book so that Garrosh could be the aggressor
>>717648274>He and Sylvanas teamed up. They were on the same factionOn condition to satisfy the mutual end with combined efforts
Instead he ditches Sylvannas to search elsewhere
He then allies with Kael'thas and then promptly abandons him and his forces for them to search elsewhere
Then on the most heavily predicted battle, he abandons Kaelthat AND Sylvannas to find the Dwarven company - who he then only directs to the battleground while him and his forces fuck off a 3rd time
Then when all 3 other factions have done the work - he tries to cash in on the Capital City - to whiich Sylvannas just mercs him
So you ultimately have a person who tries to outsource his goal 2/3 times to non-humans, does everything in his power to have them killed off so there isn't a big resistance when he ultimtely betrays them, and then is shocked when the strongest force catches on to his antics and kills him first
The original idea of the horde being a ragtag group of small tribes that would be driven to extinction otherwise is actually interesting. The fact they were edgy and evil, like the trolls still practicing cannibalism despite Thrall wanting to ban, helped created internal conflict.
Sadly it was doomed from the start. The balance necessary in a faction mmo like this meant that they had to be as powerful as the alliance, which created ludonarrative dissonance with how a bunch of murlocs could be a threat to them.
Then, like having the nelves in the alliance was dumb, so was the forsaken and the blood elves in the horde.
A strong narrative with Zul'jin could have saved the blood elves, but it was a failure.
The second problem is that A LOT of people who want to play horde want to play warcraft 2 instead of warcraft 3 horde, so you have this tension between "we are the good guys" vs "good savages. wow would have benefitted massively from a 3-4 faction system
>human/dwarf/gnome
>night elves
>orc/tauren/troll
>forsaken
And then you have the forsaken ally with some blackrock trolls so that warcraft 2 fans can be happy.

I'm simply enjoying questing and raiding with my husband.
>>717648535Yeah. Garithos is not a good person. Sylvanas still teamed up with him, and then killed him. And then cried when the Alliance showed hesitance towards giving her support. No one is saying Garithos is a good guy. A proper leader though knows maybe killing someone in a military position of some merit, that you sided with, isn't the smartest thing.
Warcraft is not Game of Thrones, but Sylvanas has consistently shown she is more confident than she is intelligent. The entire jailer plotline will inform you of that.
>>717648535>>717648727I mean holy fucking shit. Think about it. Sylvanas names her faction the Forsaken AFTER she betrayed someone who allied her. Then she has a speech about how she's gonna like, lead her people on her own... And then she tries to ally with the Alliance again? And then when that doesn't work, she sides with the Horde? And years later, the Forsaken prove to be nothing but a problem for the Horde, and peace? Maybe she's just a piece of shit?
>>717648645Orcs are actually negroid
See the remains of draenor
>>717648527This is what all these NOOBS who started playing the game in Legion are unaware of because the forums were already dead by this point. One of the major reasons the Horde were made to wear the retard pants and get hit with the villain bat is because ANY TIME the Alliance did anything aggressive, the Alliance playerbase would FLOOD the forums QQing about it.
A lot of people on here like to LARP that the Alliance is akshually the right wing and mature faction to play but back when the game actually mattered, the faction was largely filled with crybaby carebears who couldn't stand to see the Alliance do anything cool. Yes, there were Alliance players who wanted to see the Alliance be aggressive and take charge, but they were always drowned out by the rest of the Alliance fanbase.
Additionally, there were a ton of Horde players QQing about being the villains, but Blizzard never listened to them.
>>717648853i never knew a negroid race that could conquer a european kingdom through force of arms. interesting.
Orcs weren't intended to be negroids, they were a mishmash of various warrior cultures like mongols and samurai.
They increasingly became "black" with the release of wow, and californian increased obsession with associating their slavery with historical american slavery.
It didn't help that in broader fantasy fanbase orcs are often associated with blacks due to being a violent, evil, race.
>>717648980they can when the legion (kabalah) gives them steroids and weapons and the alliance is not expecting them and medivh (shabbos goy) summons them
once the alliance realized they exist and they are a threat they were still put in camps and sold as slaves
tauren are obviously native american
darkspear trolls are obviously jamaican
goblins are jews
zandalari trolls are africans stealing south american aesthetics
orcs actually have the least obvious parallels to real life
>>717648873i dont think anyone disagrees with you. back in the day, everybody knew the alliance was the carebear faction and horde was full of edgy retards. "undead rogue" was a stereotype then, much like "human paladin" is a stereotype now. after garrosh got retard/villain-batted the overall sentiment was "we want the alliance to dismantle the horde". every complaint from the end of mop til now has been "why hasnt the alliance genocided the horde yet"
its unironically fascinating how the stereotypical internet nerd transitioned from being an enlightened fedora tipper to a full blown racist
>>717649129the only thing that stopped the orcs from winning the second war was gul'dan betraying them. orgrim was basically days away from taking capital city when he had to abandon the siege to deal with gul'dan. orgrim intellectually outclassed his alliance counterparts every step of the way.
anyways you're retarded because the orcs were inspired by generic fantasy barbarians and metal album covers. that's why they wear horned helmets and use big axes instead of chucking spears like trolls do.
>>717649298The problem is there really fucking isn't a reason why the Alliance hasn't dismantled the Horde at this point. It's not even the Alliance. The Jailer shit should have made every third party faction go, "jesus christ, just piss off. Garrosh first, now this bitch?"
>>717649274>orcs actually have the least obvious parallels to real lifeIt's because they keep changing
>W1 and W2Generic Barbarians
>W3Generic Barbarians + a bit of native american + a bit of bushido
>VanillaSame as above but downplays the bushido and they live in not!Africa
>TBCOh shit the player base thinks they're nogs, better start adding in some African culture and make them brown
>>717649348the orcs were chucking spears in orcs and humans though
>>717649298The Alliance were allowed to win precisely because of the carebear whining that didn't allow for the Alliance to do bad things. The same reason the Alliance were gifted the victories is the same reason the Horde exists. If the Alliance fanbase now want the Horde to be dismantled, it's simply too late. There were years and years where Alliance players threw insane temper tantrums if an Alliance character did something remotely shady. Now they want to turn back the dial? Tough shit. They made their bed and now they have to lay in it.
>>717631382Is this cuck shits? sauce pls
>>717630661 (OP)If you played wc3 you'd know. Not sure why the disgusting rotting undead was even an idea for the horde though
>>717649515>When the Vanir heard how the Æsir had welcomed Gullveig, they swore vengeance and began to prepare for war. Óðin, sitting in his high seat in Valaskjálf, saw the preparations, and soon the Æsir, too, prepared for war.>Óðin cast his spear into the host of the Vanir. Thus, the first war began.
>>717649515Bro needs that arcane intellect irl
>>717649531neither faction is allowed to win because its a video game and shattering your giga cash cow by fucking over half your playerbase would be a monumentally retarded thing to do
>>717649563cause they didn't really care about the story or lore and they needed 4 races per faction, so they just went with whatever
Tauren couldn't even actually physically wear totems until WoD btw
>>717649437Warcraft III DEFINITELY had "they're black people" elements. Their whole slavery shit.
>>717649802Nah that's just part of the Thrall's Moses deal.
>>717649802Do burgers really think slavery only affected black people or something and there was no slavery in the history of humankind other than with africans
>>717631209>horde has the objectively better end-game city and town placement for both pve and pvp, alliance has a better starting 1-30 experienceits the complete opposite. barrens and ashenvale is top tier for horde if you know the paths and the extra quests from major cities. Alliance cities themselves are usually better ordered inside compared to walking across the entire city in org to go from AH to smith
>>717649802slavery existed before the colonization of north america. ever heard of spartacus? ever heard of the barbary pirates? or the ottoman empire? there's even fantasy stories written in the 1920s and 1930s where white people are slaves.
>>717649885the only slavery that they hammer in to our heads is niggers and kikes in egypt, whatever makes us feel more guilty. everyone else was having a fucking jolly picnic the whole time.
>>717646223the difference is that the writers act like Camp Taurajo was justified, meanwhile every Horde warchief has been raided and killed for their crimes. Jaina literally sic'd the alliance on Camp T for no reason, and then got mad when she got nuked in return, and the writers act like she's the victim. Doesn't help that you've got Baine thanking the alliance for killing all those young tauren hunters.
>>717649885>>717649953Lord of the Clans, which was a point and click game that was supposed to come out before Warcraft III, has Thrall rising up against his white european style oppressors, and freeing his fellow orcish slaves.
Can't Imagine not playing as a Human.
>>717650018Nah, this all starts with the Warsong logging Ashenvale for the second time.
>>717648262You can pick pretty much any race and list out a bunch of shit they did wrong, like Thermaplugg fucking over the entire gnome race, or Gromm basically poisoning his people to kill a bunch of Night Elves and destroy their land. It's a completely different topic than the war crimes a collective group of multiple races willingly commits and never pays for, which is what's being discussed.
Not to mention shit like the Defias was caused by Onyxia using magic to influence the nobles to fuck over the workers. Or individuals like Arthas, Kel'Thuzad, and originally what Medivh did were hated and denounced by other humans, yet all the war crimes the Forsaken have ever committed are continuously accepted by the Horde.
>>717650058Do you somehow think slaves have never risen against their masters and won
Did you also miss the part where every single legit nation and people in the history of mankind has been slaves and had slave states including anglos, turks, chinks, arabs and slavs

>>717650165No, but you're fucking being coy if you don't think a white guy in America writing about slaves being freed didn't have American black slaves as a point of reference somewhere on his mind. Come off it.
>>717650237So you're saying an american really can't study or learn history and has to have blacks on his mind and nothing else ever

>>717650165When did slavs find time to own slaves when they were slaves themselves for so long?

When were turks slaves?
>>717649531the alliance has never won. its an eternal stalemate that nobody is happy with. horde is allowed to be eternally evil villain aggressors, alliance can only react but never wipe them out. people have been clamoring for a story with alliance agency and villainy for 3x longer than the "golden era" of wow existed
>>717650275No, but it's clearly going to be the first thing a white Gen X American writer is going to have as a point of reference. Especially Chris fucking Metzen.

>>717650237The guys who made Warcraft were comic book nerds, metalheads, and D&D players, at a time where these activities were not accepted in normal society. By modern standards, their social views would be considered right wing today. California in the 80s was a much different place than today. These guys were referencing A Song of Ice and Fire in Warcraft 3 decades at a time when those books were being read by probably less than 3,000 people on the planet. They were obsessed with Frank Frazetta, Warhammer, super heroes, Conan, Bakshi's Fire & Ice, and niche fantasy stuff as well as old school pulp.
I don't think blacks were ever on their mind when they made this stuff. They lived in a much different world than we do today. YOU think about blacks more than they ever did, I guarantee it.

>>717630661 (OP)Evil factions are necessary,otherwise the game would be boring
>>717650387Yes really. I always hear about slavs being turk rape babies and slaves but I've never heard of them being the masters unless you count slav shithole 1 annexing slav shithole 2 as enslaving them
I can see turks enslaving some parts of the chinese outskirts at some point during the ottoman empire but when did chinks enslave the turks? it this something from 2000 years before christ?
>>717650237What is this dumbass post?
>>717650478Nah, fucking bullshit, dude. You're having a kneejerk reaction because you're worried I'm worshiping blacks or some shit. He's an American dude who wrote a story about slavery. Of course he was thinking about American slavery as a point of reference in his writing.
>>717650478>I don't think blacks were ever on their mind when they made this stuff. They lived in a much different world than we do today. YOU think about blacks more than they ever did, I guarantee it.Americans worship them. Just look at The Elder Scrolls and how they just had to include them while every other race gets ignored.

>>717650556I'm stating the obvious, but because I'm not immediately jumping to, "there were white slaves too!," I got a bunch of people sperging out at me.
>>717650512Man don't even get me fucking started on the Charr.
>>717650567No, it's not bullshit. I'm old enough to remember a time before negrolatry was widespread. I remember a time before blacks were heavily pushed as "the cool race," via proliferation of hip hop and basketball players. I guarantee that Metzen was more influenced by the fucking BIBLE than he was about fucking slavery. White guilt was not something that permeated nerd culture until recently. In the 80s, people lived normal lives and didn't go around obsessing about blacks like they did today. These guys were too busy playing D&D and snorting coke to care about black grievances, they were just going by rule of cool.
It's funny to think how everything in warcraft could've been solved by Genn Greymane just not being such a giant pussy and attacking Death Knight Arthas's army from behind BEFORE he sacked Silvermoon and revived Kel'Thuzad.
>>717650606Just give some examples and time periods already?
When did slavs enslave another race and which one?
When did the chinks enslave the turks?
When did turks enslave the chinks?
>country 1 expanding it's borders mean enslaving country 2I guess USA expanding to Alaska and Hawaii means you own them as slaves then
>>717650714In what era do you think the people currently in charge of woke shit were raised anon? You're crazy if you think this brainwashing wasn't already happening decades ago.
>>717650714black people have been enormously important to america's culture for ages, though to your point it was less totalising than today
>>717650714No, you're being ridiculous. An American growing up in the 80s, after the civil rights movement, writing a story about slavery, is going to have American slavery as a main point of reference in what they're thinking and talking of. I'm not saying there weren't other considerations.

>>717650825>An American growing up in the 80s, after the civil rights movement, writing a story about slavery, is going to have American slavery as a main point of reference in what they're thinking and talking of.I'm an American who was alive during this time period and I'm telling you that's not true. The nerd community back then was much more resilient to this stuff, there were zero black nerds around this time period and their biggest exposure to blacks at this point in time would've been the rare one in comic books or popular musical artists like Prince or Michael Jackson, but again, these guys were metalheads.
They were reading Karl Edward Wagner and L. Sprague de Camp and smoking weed and blasting Sabbath. Their thoughts were of Mordor and the Hyborian Age, they weren't concerned about the plights of blacks when they were hot-blooded 20 year old men. It just wasn't how people acted or thought back then, especially not guys who spent all day with their heads in White Men Being Heroic Badass stories.
>>717651113No. Chris Metzen definitely knew about black people, and American slavery. You are jumping through hoops to try and deny something really stupid and basic, because the current culture war stuff is garbage.
>>717630661 (OP)have you even watched the wow intro cinematic? the undead is cool as fuck
>>717651276Yeah, I mean of course he knew about that stuff. I just really, really, really doubt it affected his writing or creative endeavors. I would chalk it up more to a mixture of the Bible and heavy metal and Conan the Barbarian. American blacks were gifted their freedom after whites killed each other. The Warcraft orcs took back their own freedom - this is something that would be right at home in a metal song or a Conan the Barbarian story. It's reminiscent of Conan strangling the king of Aquilonia in his own throne room. It's the will to power. Taking control of your destiny and fighting authority. It's metal, it's punk rock, it's all the kinds of things that a fantasy nerd in the 80s would draw from.
If American slavery was a huge motivating factor, the orcs would've been given their slavery after the humans fought a bloody war over it. It's more so that Thrall (which Metzen stated is inspired by BOTH Moses AND Marvel's Thor) is having a Spartacus moment and taking control of destiny by force. The gay, weepy "atonement for our sins" stuff comes much later in the story when Metzen and the other guys have aged and gotten more libtarded.
>>717651113>Their thoughts were of Mordor and the Hyborian Age,Conan stories are full of blacks thoughbeit
>>717651659As villains and obstacles to overcome
>>717651548I'm not saying there weren't other influences, but Chris Metzen isn't exactly the most nuanced writer. Moses? Yep. Probably raised with some basic Christian values. He's a guy born in the 70s in the US. Slavery? The first thing any American is going to think about as a point of reference, especially prior to the internet, is going to be blacks. Dude was three when Roots came out. He was taught this shit.
>>717633105>Other Horde races in Orc armorSOUL
>>717650018Camp Taurajo was housing and training horde soldiers, and the commander in charge of the attack let as many civilians escape as possible. Compare that to the attack of Brennadam which the horde conveniently forgot about.
>>717651689They're his crew in the Belit story, they're also wise witchdoctors from time to time.
Why is the horde the war crime faction tho?
Lorewise the alliances races did way worse crimes overall. Its just that we dont see that in the game.
Nightelves brought the first demons to azeroth and committed genocide on their own, who didnt share their ideals.
Humans and Highelves attempted genoicde on all trolls for the wrongdoing of 1 tribe of trolls. Also they attempted to eradicate the forsaken and they tried to enslave all orcs and used them for their amusement like gladiators.
Also humans purged Dalaran and Stratholme.
Draenei literally btfo and fled from the legion and left everyone, who didnt make it in time, to die.
The only races within alliance that did nothing or only minor stuff are gnomes (did nothing) and dwarves (stealing relics and some spying).
On horde side only trolls and tauren are mostly clear of any crimes (did Tauren ever do any warcrimes at all?).
But yeah even with the events of the game over the last 20 years, lorewise nightelves are the most fked up.
I love reading these threads and seeing how many people completely ignore or try to rewrite the story of the game to prove they're right in whatever fagtastic argument they're in.
>>717652542I cannot imagine caring even slightly about WoW lore in the first place. The devs don't even care about keeping it consistent or make any sense from expansion to expansion. The game cannot even onboard new players into the story because of how nonsensical and contradictory it is.
i think we can all agree the alliance needs more warcrimes or at least some war

I could play around 1 fear break pretty easily. But if they had both wotf and pvp tricket i was fucked. Compare that to horde and most 1v1s felt like autowins with the potential to 1v3 people if nobody had a fear break.

>>717652841If I had to give a definite answer, no. Racials were a massive crutch, especially in older versions. Yes skill always beats no-skill, regardless of the players characters.

Alliancefags will seriously complain about the Horde, then clam up when it becomes obvious for the 702430th time the Horde isn't allowed to be anything other than Red Alliance. Horde isn't allowed to have Garroshes or Sylvanases, who Horde players (but not Alliance ones) responded to positively. Horde players are not allowed to play the actually evil faction. Instead they have to follow this enormous faggot Thrall and other characters who have identical thoughts and opinions to whatever boring faggots are leading the Alliance, and everyone who doesn't fit in with that mold dies.
Then when the question "Why are the writers doing that?" pops up, it funnels back into Alliancebabs crying on the official forums.
>>717654397I will never take anti-Horde posting seriously when the Alliance have shit their diapers for years begging for "high elves" i.e. fucking blood elves with different colored eyes AND THEN THEY ACTUALLY GOT IT.
>>717654397No one complained about Garrosh. Garrosh is a based Orc like the Warcraft 2 Orcs. That's what Alliance players wanted from Horde, being an evil faction
Most Orc players are WC2 Orcs in Classic WoW, rape and pillage. So it fits like a charm that Garrosh finally became a warchief. Thrall is Chris Metzen's worst idea.

>>717652841It depends on what you want to achieve and how hardcore is the playerbase compared to you.
I have a couple of 100 parses in Cata Classic, and it would be impossible if I played Alliance - not because of the racial, but because I would not find 9 good players to parse with. However, if a million rich, hardcore teenagers played WoW, I would have no chance of obtaining gold parses even on Horde character. It's not just your racial - you need luck, calculations, millions of pulls, 9 people to dance around you (I had 2 warlocks and 2 mages, and the player who currently has the world record had 7 locks, if I paid $100 to each player, I could have the world record by now).
What if parsing doesn't interest you? Can you perhaps get an Realm First as an alliance character? Or speedrun a raid? Probably not, because there are too few realms, but being first Alliance guild? Yes, and you can brag about it too, because it's prestigious. It's just difficult to find enough people.

PvP servers tend to see more Horde majority because of the mistaken idea that they have "PvP racials", when that really isn't the case until Arenas are a thing, battlegrounds are focused around objective control which actually favors Alliance if they understand the strengths of Paladins in being able to stall out even the most overrun points with no counterplay.

>>717630661 (OP)Tauren are cool and I like the whole indian and nature focus they have or rather had before the horde was ruined in cata.
>>717646904The Horde is objectively a fascist government. It hits every single marker and criteria for one. It's a hypernationalist, militarized, authoritarian government in which the leader rules with a cult of personality and there's a distinct feeling of nostalgia and desire to reclaim former glory (either from the First Horde or from before the demonic corruption depending on who you ask).
Empires aren't necessarily evil, true. I wasn't mentioning that the Horde is fascist as an excuse for why they're irredeemably evil, just mentioning that they should realistically go against everything the writers should stand for but don't because the writers see them as black people. So it's okay if they're hypernationalist and jingoist. Those traits are really cool for a faction but the writers pussify the Horde out of them while trying to make them the good guys which makes neither side happy.
>>717659121>edieval humanity, think 15th or 14th century, if they were faced with the orcish orde invading them and razing their cities, subsequently defeating them and seeing them fall into lethargy, they would have executed them all down to the last elderly orc and child, instead of playing lost tribes of Israel with them via concentration camp simulator.>meanwhile IRL
>>717659210Satyrs could have worked to, since a race as ugly as the broken would really be played. Really anything is better than the Eredar retcon.
>>717659239>It hits every single marker and criteria for one.Nope it doesxn't since Horde didn't reached industrial society.
>>717659281What's this supposed to showcase? An ottoman client state fighting on their side because they turned all their kids into janissaries? Why don't you showcase the Siege of Malta instead?
>>717658958Nah canonically the night elves, reeling from a "genocide" and unsupported by the greater alliance forces, completely pushed horde out of darkshore and retook most of ashenvale. Also tyrande got a DBZ power up. Alliance got a stranglehold on arathi and lordaeron wasn't reclaimed for years so EK was mostly just silvermoon.
>>717630661 (OP)Because the horde feels more like a brotherhood than the alliance
>>717659230I agree in a way. Music is nice, atmosphere is nice, but no anvil, no engie and blacksmithing trainers
>>717659296I remember everyone on HS wanted to play as Broken Draenei Rogue / Warrior solely for Akama in Frozen Throne. My high school buddies were speechless when Blood Elves were introduced on Horde.
>>717659359>Why don't you showcase the Siege of Malta instead?Because Nicopolis was more hillarious. Due to the Serbain knights fighting against crusaders.
Besides, both are proving my point. None fought Ottomans to their complete extermination.
>>717659239The same can be said of the alliance, varian was definitely militarised and authoritarian, there was a distinct cult if personality around him as he commanded the other alliance leaders who were all without exception far longer lived and presumably wiser, and I think the only race not looking to reclaim former glory is the dwarfs. It's fascists vs fascists.
>>717658403>you hate druid players broI hate any Druid players who specs as DPS equally. I have nothing but upmost respect for Tanks and Healers. Whenever I see a Balance Druid or Feral Druid I see a player who isn't smart enough to play as Mage or Warrior DPS because he desperately wants to feel wanted by having Moonking Aura or Leader of The Pack so mommy guild officer invites him to a raid.
>>717659178Lorthemar looks like he's fucking baked, thalysra looks like a party mask.
>>717659546>None fought Ottomans to their complete extermination.Yeah, because the ottomans didn't fall over unconscious after their invasion had failed and remain still where they fell. Invasions were launched into their heartlands but maintaining presence there and continuously purging them was too costly given the effort it took and how much could go wrong along the way. Ottomans didn't come from a single fucking dark portal that could be destroyed to halt their advance. You're comparing the logistics of warring between established planetary civilizations versus an invading alien force.
>>717654835>Female Tauren: might actually be a milf in real lifeI accidently catfished so hard back in the day
>>717658958Sylvanas, Saurfang, Rastakhan. Compared to alliance losses of... minus two Proudmoores (one came back icky though so he got thrown back into the drawer) Also abolished the concept of having a warchief entirely. Can't blame them with their mortality rate.
>>717659731>SylvanasNot Horde
>SaurfangOkay
>RastakhanNot Horde
So you lost a bunch of "horde" leaders vs conquering Kalimdor entirely. Orcs only care about cutting trees and fucking fem nelves and on these points it was a total Horde victory.

>>717659551That came after the fact when they were butchering the writing in Cata (or maybe later, I stopped playing retail in Cata). From Warcraft into WoW up to Wrath, the Alliance was always just a confederation of independent monarchies (which were themselves not fascist, as they had hierarchies of nobles and senates and stuff to make them more classically feudalist governments). The Varian High King shit was just a mess of them trying to make it more like the Horde. Even afterwards, the Alliance wasn't really fascist, however, because the individual nations in it were still more independent and High King was basically just commander-in-chief. Meanwhile, the Horde were fascist from the word go.
>>717659335They have zeppelins, guns, machines of war, etc. They basically just have crude, misshapen engineering from the goblins. But industrialization isn't necessary for being fascist, anyways.
>>717659831Again, night elves, not even the alliance, just night elves fucking swimming up from feralas or some shit because they sure as shit didn't have a beachhead- retook darkshore and Azshara, horde gained no territory. You lost a bunch of nameless NPCs and a tree you can still use as a capital city just fine vs loss of multiple important lore characters and the complete pussification of the entire faction.

So, she had to kneecap them and her original strategy was just to kill Malfurion and/or Tyrande, GOD FORBID one of those lame-asses bites it, but Saurfang was a fag and botched that but then OH Elune actually made Saurfang a fag and the retcons kept piling and mucking it all.
