This is a Blood Elf.

looks like Kate from Lost's face superimposed on a wow elf

Why is everyone in this game so ugly

Innit elf 2.0

WoW cinematics used to be elite, at least technically. This looks like Two World or some bargain bin shit. Competency crisis-

>>718515862
>bargain bin shit
I genuinely thought this was BG3 or Veilguard lol. Westoid fantasy shit all looks the same now, very generic and unappealing.

Why does she have normal looking eyes? Where are the glowing gold blood elf eyes? Their iris aren't black

This reminds me of another video game character that gets posted in antiwoke threads all the time, can't put my finger on it though.

>>718516078
Seriously wtf is going on, why are no WoW fans calling them out for not even knowing their own lore

>>718513970 (OP)
Did they forget how to model faces?

>>718513970 (OP)
this was the final nail in the coffin for me that WoW is dead: outsourcing their cinematics to a different studio

>>718513970 (OP)
yeah just a turrible choice

>>718517352
They lost all of their talent from low pay and terrible conditions + bad rep for their games

This is Lady Liadrin.

What’s amazing is how those folds (hag lines) are hated by women and there’s dermatologist procedures you can get to smooth them out. And yet western devs push for it. Make it make sense.

Yep, it's women writing time.

>>718513970 (OP)
Who is that guy?

>>718513970 (OP)
Wait this is supposed to be a woman?

Genuinely wouldn't have guessed that was supposed to be Liadrin in a million years, if they hadn't included her name being said I would have thought it was a new character.

Even old low budget lore trailers had more soul than this shit. Blizzard hasn't produced a good cinematic in ages.

why aren't pandaren women represented in the major story moments?

>>718518242
Wow that comparison makes it 10x worse.

CG team did the thing again.

>>718513970 (OP)

>>718518572
who is this buzzin half orc?

They're doing that thing where they are absolutely terrified of ANY even slightly feminine characteristic on a female character. Not just the ruddy, round, bland face, but the hair pulled back to look entirely masculine, the ears and eyebrows suddenly rendered weirdly realistically instead of the stylized manner they normally were, and the completely covering armor interchangeable with the male armor. Like if you put a single feminine trait in, you're SEXUALIZING them and that's bad.

Total disconnect from any kind of reality.

No it's someone else, another female character who was white but had mutt lips for some reason. I think it might have been an elf too. Maybe Dragon age?

Same old, tired political shit as per usual. Why can't this industry burn already?

>>718513970 (OP)
I remember when she was supposed to be hot

>>718518945
For me, it's the blue skin with non-human feet.

Uglyfication of the western games is the reason why chink gachas became popular.

*This is a Bogdandoff Elf

>>718520091
Ah yes thank you.

>>718520973
Aren't WoW elves meant to have specific sharp slender features? Night elves AND blood elves. She just looks like a human in a bad fantasy costume

>>718521147
dshe looks like an orc m8

>>718519768
I have no idea why Holly even cares anymore, it was pretty obvious from the start that she only joined blizzard for one of the following reasons:
>Allowed to "work" on Vanilla WoW (with possible Vanilla plus)
>Needed the money since she blew her retirement on hookers and blow
>She needed an ego boost after being irrelevant since 2004
>All of the above

She very clearly gives 0 fucks about whatever trainwreck modern blizzard is working on

Blizzard fears the truth.

>>718520973
She kind of looks like Willem Dafoe a bit

>>718513970 (OP)
the blue villain chick is hotter than all the other characters that are currently still alive....can i join the baddies?

>>718517942
Women hate them because it makee them look old
Devs like them because it's considered unattractive and they have a pathological need to virtue signal

>>718521238
No, she looks like a realistic human, a plain one, but with elf ears stuck on. That's not what Warcraft elves look like, they're not the same species as humans.

>>718520973
glad to see the actress who played the diablo 2 amazon got more work

They're miscegenating now.
Soon it will be total globohomo

elves and humans (((race mix))) now

Crazy that blizzard has even lost the cinematic crown, this is so mid when you compare it to their 2010s stuff.

Have all the good people aged out/been replaced by bug people for stealing breast milk? Or are they just cutting wow's budget down to maintence mode?

You're all forgetting the absolute PEAK blood elf art.

Please understand they had to make the elves look like humans with easily attached ear prosthetics for live action movie actors to look like their cutscenes.

>>718521831

>>718520691
Troll females should have stayed like this.

>>718518765
It's both competency crises and corpo greed. Westoids who aren't boomers are all Ipad children who can barely read now, which makes the cheap jeets don't give a shit about the project but can at least sort of do dev work more appealing.

thats a man

>>718521383
Because that's exactly what she is. Facial scanning sucks all the soul out of animation and makes everyone look bland and average.

>>718518945
I was genuinely afraid they might do something people want like Ethereals, or High Elves, or Forest Trolls, or hell even Ogres. Shit that people would have sucked off to the ends and back.
But nah, they just added another Drachtyr/Mechagnome/Earthen Dwarf-tier "nobody fucking cares" slopjob that like 0.01% of the remaining playerbase will play. GG.

>>718521982
Yea, it's not just jeetification, it's also that Michael who has a degree in graphic design working in the UX department is basically not human. It's rotten from every end.

Internalized misogyny.

Hey fellas, whats up? Glad to see WoW is still a game for faggots.

>>718521729
Weren't blood elves meant to look like peak blonde haired fair-skinned bimbos?
Why do they look like 47-something Karens now?

>>718522442
I don't care, I just know I want them to look like that one in the judgement armor.

>>718521831
>strong, sexy women are misogynistic
Ugly women are so pathetic

What I don't understand is why they chose this realistic portrayal of characters in cinematics considering how the game characters are as cartoony as ever.
It just creates a weird clash.
Something similar happened in SWTOR when they put those more realistic models for characters from Knights of the Fallen Empire along with all the cartoony character models the game had previously.

>>718522336
YOWZERS!!!

>>718513970 (OP)
She looks like an actual holy fanatical warrior and not *average blood elf woman n01617*.

/queen/ tier in my book

>>718520973
They didn't even attempt to make her look like a Blood Elf other than tacking on the eyebrows and ears.

>>718522442
Yeah, they were originally characterized as Chads/Stacys and their lines and jokes ingame reflected that. But Blizzard got rid of most of that cause it made trannies and fat women uncomfortable. The irony is that Blood Elves are by far the most normie race and 80% of horde players play horde only to play Blood Elves.

>>718521578
Yeah and that makes half-elves, who still don't look like that in the cinematic.

>>718522656
The CGI trailers always had a more realistic look, but used to be way more stylized. This and the last few trailers just have all the characters look like regular people, bland and ugly as fuck

>>718522920
Blood Elves definitely broke WoW's balance in favor of the Horde. I don't know what Ally/Horde ratio was before TBC, but I'm absolute certain BEs made a lot of people flock to the Horde.

>>718522895
Damn, belf girls have big feet.

If you kept playing wow after 2010 I don’t know what to tell you

>>718523084
improvements to have more easily accessible photorealism in CGI has been a devastating blow for art direction.

>>718516954
Retail wow fans don’t give a shit about anything but gooning

>>718522895
these will be changed later on, enjoy your new and better bloodelves

Teen focused groomer-core

>>718522336
I'd steal her milk if you know what I mean

>>718523123

I'm pretty sure it still leans Alli, especially now that Alli effectively has BEs, but it pushed a ton of people over to Horde.

>>718523287
Ironic considering how Blizzard keeps removing anything remotely suggestive or sexual from WoW

>>718523123
That's why they made them. Especially in Asia people demanded a beautiful Horde race. And as a sort of ironic wink to it Blizzard made them highschool jocks/bimbos.

>>718523123
As I understand it, before BElves more players were Alliance but Horde had the lions share of skilled players. Once TBC dropped Horde got flooded with elf fags/women who never quite gelled with the rest.

>>718523437
Not really in the minds of gooners. Normal shit isn’t appealing, shit like
>>718520524

This massive disconnect where characters look completely different only seems to have popped up in the last two expansion intros.

>when your strong black woman is modeled after djimon hounsou

>>718513970 (OP)
At least they aren't black

>>718523582
And yet draenei and blood elves are still the most popular races, both in-game and in porn. Which only makes their puritanism even more ironic.

>>718513970 (OP)
The worst cinematic ever.

>>718521423
>the actress who played the diablo 2 amazon
Dolph Lundgren?

i genuinely do not understand what is with modern game dev's obsession with making video game characters ugly

>>718524065
Everyone saw BG3's success and said "let's make more of that"

Not even talking about the technical quality or writing but not a single frame of this trailer screams Warcraft to me. Whether you liked it or not, Warcraft had a unique style and aesthetic. This could be anything from Dungeons and Dragons to ESO to Baldur's Gate or just some mobile Gacha game. Completely artificial. For a company to totally give up it's long established aesthetic and design style is strange and makes me think this was outsourced or Blizzard just replaced their own cinematic division with Pajeets.

>>718524160
Don't be retarded.

I feel like the sheer faggotry of that cinematic dropped my T levels or some shit, I feel more homosexual for having watched that, fuck blizzard I should be compensated for this

>>718524160
bg girls aren't ugly though

>>718522156
I didn't realize she was using lip fillers

>>718524253
Trannyshart is a perfect of example of this you troonoid fuck. She looked completely normal in the earlier versions then they turned her into a horse faced trans abomination

>>718524160
?

>>718524435
Trying way too hard.

>>718524435
you are genuinely mentally ill if you see shadowheart and think trans.

>>718523123
to be fair blood elf was the best horde race period in TBC, arcane torrent in its original form is the strongest racial thats ever existed aside from the original wotf that never made it into the release version

>>718520973
if you dont accept that western vidya industry is dead it will never get better

>>718524638
The bg3 team when they turned normal female shadow heart into disgusting launch man face

>>718524357
She wasn't. Are you stupid?

Literally all they would have to do to have 35 year old man-children soijakking around the room is add blue-eyed high elves, with the fucking very specific name of "high elves." Not blood. Not void. High elves.

>>718524667
I know you’re an incel who rarely leaves the house when you actually think trannysharts hideous square face looks female

>>718524820
anon youre trying too hard, the words you string together don't even make sense. it's all completely contradictory

>>718524906
Anon you’re seething too hard. Leave the house, go outside, touch some grass

>>718524778
i'd settle for me being able to turn off my void elf's racial that turns her purple every now and then

>add a black woman
>make her ugly, annoying, and disabled

>>718524435
Its the opposite though. Early access not only was she uglier, she had a much shittier personality.

>>718524253
Only in a wow thread will you find someone thinking this troon bitch isn’t hideous

>>718520560
I don't know why devs do this. Imagine you can create absolutely anything you want with the power of modern computers and software and you decide to make ugly characters? Maybe the amount of pretty characters is on of the reasons anime is so popular nowadays.

>>718526103

Bro let it go. It was an RTS for nine years. It's been an MMO for 21.

Are female writers the biggest red flag for a franchise? I can't think of a single one that did a good job. Some didn't do an abysmal job and did decently, but decent is about the best you can hope for it seems.

>>718517942
>women with a positive self image
make sexy women characters in vidya games (if they play vidya at all)
>women with a negative self image
make sexy women characters in vidya games, then complain that there are no fugly character creation options, worm their way into dev teams to uglify everything because they are competing with pixels for attention

>>718516078
Can't have glowing eyes on characters because you won't be able to see the character acting. It's like how helmeted characters always have to remove their helmets.

>>718526948
WoW is an old game, lmao.

I think that was the worst wow cinematic of all time. Even the one with Thrall and Anduin WORDSWORDSWORDSing each other was better, even the totally generic dragons one was better. This looked like it was animated by a college kid or something.

RIP Blizzard. You really had something special going for a while, but that's clearly gone now.

>>718526963
>Bro let it go.
I did, I got bored of vanilla WoW before even hitting level 60 and never looked back.

Wouldn't even remember the MMO side of the franchise existed if they didn't shove a shitty CGI cinematic in my face today.

>>718526975
The girl that wrote Shadowbringers did a pretty amazing job, but the exception proves the rule imo.99% of the time a woman writing something means it's going to be unbelievably bad.

Yes your honor I am a Blood Elf

>>718526882
It's a setting where tanks and bomber planes exist and spaceships that can nuke planets from orbit, why they keep using knights with swords? Nobody knows.

>>718527061
retard...
each wow expansion is essentially a new game and retail cannot compare to vanilla in terms of literally anything because of how different they are

>>718527065
Nothing even happened. Lorthemar quipped then immediately got dabbed on and then a group of faceless Diablo extras walked in. What the fuck was the point?

>>718527152
>It's a setting where tanks and bomber planes exist and spaceships that can nuke planets from orbit, why they keep using knights with swords? Nobody knows.
They ended up fighting on the walls in the end, why not just keep the soldiers up there?

Really though if I asked you what WoW character this was meant to be, could you even guess?

>>718518694
an open secret is that white liberals and jews view blacks as their personal play things, and toys. ever notice when a black person doesn't do what their owners say, the term is "leaving the plantation"? it's insane how racist 2 tiny, specific groups of people are, and are treated like they're the normal ones. black characters have to go through the liberal white/jewish committee before they're allowed to exist. for instance, the latest black male archetype is "emasculated loser".

>>718527916
I thought she was a new character lol

>>718524065
Face scanning was a mistake.

>>718527694
Same as it's always been. WoW has never actually looked how Blizzard wants to present it in other mediums.

>>718527694
this is how you can tell it's absolutely over
>>718527916
yeah, by the armor. it's the armor she uses in concept art
but otherwise no not really this just looks like karen from walmart that they put in warcraft armor and gave some ugly fake elf ears

>>718528135
How about now?

>>718527635
>>718527582
it's elfover

Still Karen from Walmart with ugly fake elf ears.

>>718527916
Aren't Elves supposed to have fully glowing eyes?

>>718526975
Female writers are the biggest coin flip ever. You either get women like Amy Hennig, Jennifer Svedberg-Yen, or Natsuko Ishikawa and get some of the best-written stories in video games

or you get total braindead retard schlock.
I'm assuming there's some sort of weird divide where women are either fantastic writers or total dogshit with no middle ground.

>>718528098
Love how out of place Magatha looks in this. I know she poisoned Garrosh's axe, but could they really not have placed her outside of the ring?

>Da ebil dark...is going for da light...
This is really going to be the story for 3 expansions, huh?

>>718528098
Why didn't he just use Reincarnation?

serious question, how is WoW lore still going? didn't they kill a god in one expansion or whatever? what other threats are there?

>>718521317
Why no one will ever give a fuck about retail again.

modern character designers are like renaissance artists that only did male bodies because it wouldn't be acceptable for them to use naked female references.
Only these days it's the troons that get upset and not the church

Sir Liadrino.

>>718528417
it's inconsistent

>>718528428
it's because of quotas, you moron

>>718528482
There must always be a franchise!

>>718528428
Christie Golden went to shit the moment she actually joined the WoW writing team. God knows what the fuck happened , because her novels were not bad, except for the Thrall one

>>718528482
For fucking 15+ years they've done, "you fools! I was only being the big villain to prepare us to fight the even bigger villain that was to come!" Illidan (canonically turned good), Arthas (his plan was to turn everyone undead to have an army to fight the Legion).

inb4 the climax of the expansion is Liadrin demanding to speak to Xal'atah's manager

>>718528301
wait a second
this angle makes her look like fucking SYNDROME
from the incredibles
i cannot unsee it

>>718528482
It's basically all just fan fiction at this point. Any semblance of original lore ended with Legion and BfA tap danced on it's grave.

>>718528417
Yes, it's one of their defining traits in fact. Even in the detailed CG intros of the past where they have visible pupils, they never just looked like human eyes.

>>718528482
some guy is coming to eat the entire cosmos right now. next guy presumably will come to eat the entire multiverse, I assume that is still a thing. although, is the cosmos outside of the multiverse, or would it contain the multiverse within it?

>>718528583
I realize they're HIRED because of quotas but I'm wondering why their ability fluctuates so drastically. You get a handful of savants from the masses of total retards. And this isn't just a video game writing thing, women are like this with all writing.

>>718516954
there are, the comments on youtube are 95% people shitting on the cinematic

Give me a reason to buy this shit it looks garbage right now.

>>718528428
One percent of women being able to write is not an either or thing.

>>718528482
the exact same thing that happened to comic books happened to wow. They have to come up with something no matter how retarded to have an excuse to keep it going

>>718528947
Coin flip was a poor comparison but the weird feast or famine of it is still kind of interesting.

>>718528901
If you don't buy it you're racist, sexist and transphobic. Don't forget to get the brontosaurus, chud

I think the Blizzard team that did the Diablo and early WoW cinematics might be the best to ever do it. This cinematic was so fucking bad, the strong female archetype is 10 years out of date at this point.

>>718528417
Yep

the last titan will save wow

>>718527916
No. But I quit WoW twelve years ago.

because theyre contractually obligated to make expansions? like what kind of answer do you want they have to make a story for players to feel engaged with the universe they create even if it's absolutely terrible

>>718522442
yes. they were also supposed to evoke that 2000s supermodel blondie bimbo look that was all the rage back then.

Wait a minute...

>retail wow story
it's amazing how Microsoft is still allowing these talentless faggots to run the warcraft IP into the ground. Especially given all the mass layoffs recently. When is blizzard being purged?

>>718529651
you'll be lucky to get any pre-SL warcraft race at all - ogres, naga, helves, ethereals, arakkoa - at this point since the masturbatory devs are so enthusiastic with all the slop they came up with.

>They had to put 600lbs on her to stop the fat bitch in accounting from suing them all for sexual harassment.
The WoW we all knew is dead. Fat blue hairs are just skin walking its corpse.

>>718526949

>>718526183
>I don't know why devs do this.
Feminism.
They got browbeaten into playing along with the "artificial beauty standards" meme, so now they have to make every single female character painfully mundane and uninteresting just so fat, ugly narcissists don't feel fat and ugly when seeing them.

>>718525256
genuinely fucking crazy that a video game company had some of the best CGI animations in the industry even all the way back in the early mid 2000s. their growth was crazy too. just look at some of the diablo 2 cutscenes and warcraft 3 cutscenes and compare it to the leap in quality to vanilla wow's trailer. absolutely crazy shit.

There's no reason for them to get sacked.

As someone who doesn't play Warcraft and doesn't know where this comes from, I'm genuinely unsure if this is supposed to be a man or a woman

>>718526949
this would be good if it was supposed to be a very young blood elf man. of course its still missing the glowing eyes

every time there is a tiny bit of hope that it's gonna get better, blizzard just proceeds to shit on itself and ruin it further

a gazillion year lifespan elf that looks like an ugly middle-aged woman AND she has human eyes

the moment they started face scanning it turned to shit

>>718513970 (OP)
I'm gonna be honest, this doesn't even look that bad in a vacuum. I know anons want something to rage over, and kind of have a reason for the pure sex race to look more average, but this example isn't even close to many of the other games we've seen.

>>718527916
i thought it was a new original character like the shaman troll guy or something.

>>718516954
I dunno, if you read the comments on youtube everyone is making fun of it, and the WoW subreddit thread for it is people hating it and saying it looks like shit

>>718530061
>A man named Dan Negrokiller comes up to you and politely explains that 13-50 is simply due to socio-economic factors

>>718530672
The rest of the trailer is something to rage over though. It was totally forgettable. Blizzard's cinematic team _was_ (emphasis on was) EASILY the best in the business, and each trailer was legitimately something special.
>>718525256
>>718525526

>>718525256
absolutely nothing, bigot.

>>718530514
they do it on purpose
someone post the wc3 arthas vs Xal face comparison

she looks great ingame (super femme female slim faced blood elf model) and then in the cinematic it's this gigajaw wide faced woman

>>718530672
She does look bad. But what's worse is how absolutely nothing the trailer is overall, there's no pacing, no story being told, nothing.

Her in-game model.

Where the fuck are the
GLOWING
EYES
hello?! it's their most distinctive fucking feature

>>718516954
9 out of every 10 wow videos about lore/gameplay anything new has people constantly shitting on it and your favorite eceleb has shit on it. Blizzard does not care and their stock price reflects their attitude they're close to breaking ATH they will not listen to anyone as long as the money is flowing

>>718521729
This picture is what got me to roll a female BE Paladin

>>718513970 (OP)
She did this since TBC.

>>718531059
this has to be a psyop. there is no other possible explanation. blizz is infiltrated by the woke agenda and is trying to turn us all gay

>>718531056
They even did it to Faerin who isn't even hot in-game, they still made her bafflingly ugly and hard faced, even though she's a very calm, friendly character.

>>718531135
What a downgrade.

>>718531135
oh look
eyes glowing

>>718531290
I mean that's just a generic belf model

>>718531323
And it's somehow still a downgrade.

>>718531135
What a fuckin shock, she looks like an elf. Whoever is in the Blizzard CG team is a menace.

>>718531135
those shoulders way too huge she looks like a linebacker
and they gave her hag lines on her face and mannish hair

>>718531135
thats just the same with a new haircut

I just think you and many """anons"" like being mad and raging over things.
While all of the previous actual gigachad jawline woman characters who dont exist irl were very understandable to shit on, this phenotype is just a 4-5/10 southern white woman.

>>718531247

>>718531568
Dragonflight was impressive in that it was the highest budget realization of early to mid 2010s autistic furry tumblr art ever put together. I mean that genuinely. That entire game was a manifestation of shit that used to be in cringe threads.

The cinematics team aren't even trying to make it look like Warcraft anymore.

Hey they are no longer crackheads.

>>718531773
what the fuck? i havent played this shitstain of a game since legion. are these a new kind of troll? did you mean forest troll, maybe? can you link me to whatever the fuck this is?

>They're depicting the Light as unambiguously good again

This, at least, is based. Still a shit game, though.

Damn thats what i was thinking about when i saw that face.

>>718532279
Seemed pretty unambiguous to me

Man, they lost the plot with the character models. They didn't need to do more changes after WoD.

You can tell who's American based on who thinks this bitch is actually in some way physically attractive.

The shittyfornication like bobbies kottick (a nepotic jews child molester) had dream all along

After they had centralised all the dev work at irwin with Vivendi in 2009, this greedy kikes will continue to attract jews and muslim investor within microsoft free will

They want to return to her nepotist and authoritarian control over Activision all along and since 2023 Microsoft buyout

Thrust me, the corrupt Activision investor are loving her soo much that they try to gain the control over Microsoft and the bill gate estate with him

Jawline so sharp she could carve the Thanksgiving turkey

>>718532231
How do you figure? They didn't respond until she said there'd be no Light left.

>>718532683
Oh... got any recent examples of this stupidity? Did they outdo the moment with Illidan in Legion?

>>718531773
why is he a massive fucking orc monster? forest trolls are roided up compared to jungle trolls, sure, but they are not dire trolls level of primal strength.

Blood Elves have been the most popular player race since their inception because they are stereotypically attractive. Why the fuck would Blizzard want to mess with that success? Especially when Blood Elves are the reason why they were even able to capture entire markets like China in the first place.

>>718533486
the anon version was made in four and a half seconds after the cinematic dropped, there is no excuse for blizzard

>>718533243
They didn't even TRY to make her look like the in-game character. Hell they didn't even try to make her look like the in-game RACE.

>>718533317
The game survives off a relative handful of whales who fork out thousands of dollars for mounts. The subscription hasn't been relevant to the game's success for a long time.

>>718533467
You have no idea what lip fillers are. No, it isn't a slight shine, that's lip gloss. Lip fillers have several distinctive giveaways much like fake tits, and she has none of them.

>>718533891
eyes are inexcusable
everything else can be leftist-argued and "feminism" justified but the eyes

>>718533459

At that time, beauty standards were shifting towards mature women with sharper features rather than women who remained neotenous, or at least that's what all the plastic surgeons were telling their patients.

Yeah, it's open instead of pursed. Do you think lip fillers are like a millimeter level adjustment? Fillers radically alter the shape and size of the lips. You might as well be claiming someone whose tits look slightly bigger in a different bra must have had a boobjob.

Mainly they get eyelid surgery to remove the epicanthal folds, it accounts for the vast majority of plastic surgery in that country. But that doesn't answer the question, why would a teenager use botox?

The story and game world has been scrambled to such a degree that there's nothing to play it for anymore. The gameplay is a skinner box designed for player retention regardless of what the expansion offers.

>>718534976
oh wow, that makes it looks even lower quality, they really just cut the dude's whole arm off along with the original blood elf, then mirrored him to shoddily hide it behind the new version. just think about it, a regular person wouldn't even think about this, but this was the priority to "fix" for someone at some point, there was someone who took issue with the harmless original and there they were too shit at editing to properly do it, that's

really no wonder how the actual game is how it is now, when they can't even do that right

I guess I'll have to be more direct since you're incapable of catching on. What is it you think is in lip fillers?

>>718535623
This teenage had botox because of their personal MKULTRA brainwashing case

Only a granny are need to use botox into their aged body

It's very dangerous to use botox on children because of the high Risk of cancer and of internal infection

If they put botox in someone's lips, it would not only NOT make their lips bigger, it would paralyze their lip muscles. That's the part being pointed out.

>>718536097
Correct, they do not put botox in people's lips. Hence why I say you don't know what you're talking about because you don't even know the most basic things about it.

The only way to make money in the corporate world is to job hop. Otherwise you get raises that actually lose you money to inflation. Promotions pay less then job hoping to the same title. As a result, the actual talent ends up leaving, and your stuck with all the "lifers" who have no talent and fall up as a result. And any talented individual that didn't care about the money and got cozy, probably started looking for a new job when they saw all these retards get promoted and saw the culture changing to woke.

No, it doesn't. It paralyzes muscles because it's a toxin. Hence why it's used to reduce wrinkles in aging skin, by immobilizing the muscles via injection.

neutrality and being fundamental forces are like it always was
the perpetual struggle sounds like the retarded cousin of the original dualistic light and shadow setup, the whole no shadows without light and no light without shadows thing
light and void being conscious is as retarded as electromagnetism being conscious
the idea of using living beings is silly since light and shadow were things to be used. it's like a rock throwing you, instead of you throwing the rock
I'm presuming the old cosmology is completely irrelevant now if light vs dark is just some kind of big space god war that can be won, since the whole idea was that they're balanced forces and because of that increasingly pure and raw versions, either more concentrated or separated from the other, of either were exponentially more powerful and dangerous
either of the forces being snuffed out completely or even driven to near non-existence would tear reality apart

I reiterate, you have no idea what you're talking about and haven't from the start.

How come? What makes it so bad to you?

I figured that was more because he needed an infinite army and not that fel straight up counters void like a pokemon weakness.

Lip fillers are made out of collagen, you dunce. You know, that naturally occurring part of human skin? Botox is a toxin extracted from bacteria, you don't use it to "fill" anything.

>>718536295
>Botulinum toxin, or botulinum neurotoxin (commonly called botox), is a neurotoxic protein produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum and related species It prevents the release of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine from axon endings at the neuromuscular junction, thus causing flaccid paralysis.

Past a certain point it does become pretty clear it’s coming from a place of malice and not ignorance.
Playable races are probably the most contentious topic as it relates to retail, more than the actual gameplay itself. There’s no way they don’t know people have cried and begged for xyz race for years and refuse to deliver.

I care enough to post about it on /v/ but i don't see myself playing it

>>718537427
The point is that Light and Void are fundamental forces, over time, conscious beings formed out of these forces whom are entirely composed of that energy, and those are the ones waging the war and doling out the power boosts because what they actually care about is spreading the influence of their force and getting rid of the other.

>>718537176
let me attempt to explain this in simple terms
>skin has collagen, a protein
>as you age, skin loses collagen and looks less full
>fillers are collagen injected into the skin trying to look less old
botox is a separate thing not found in the body naturally and used for a different kind of cosmetic treatment, nothing to do with fillers

The stubbornness to not add high elves has been around for multiple generations of blizzard employees. Even when they KIND OF added them, it was like pulling teeth. "Oh, you want blood elves on the Alliance, well here are void elves." There are two things wrong with that right from the get go.

>try to appeal to Troll and Elf fans at the same time
>end up pissing them both off and pleasing no one
What a quintessentially Blizzard move

>>718537474
>malice
Alliance aren't getting Blood Elves, who are not different from High Elves apart from the name as explained in WC3 TFT, no matter how much they cry for it. Horde got them to boost player numbers for the faction, that's it.

>>718537801
>troll fans

Where? How? Nigger, we haven't had any Troll shit since BFA. 1 dungeon in Shadowlands. A dropped story arc for Vol'jin, or at least ignored.

We've had nothing with Trolls. Hell, Rokhan is still sporting the same model for years now.

Trolls have always been neglected.

kek I thought FF14 had it bad. This genre is fucking doomed huh...

>>718537984
There's a reason everyone sticks to oldschool of the genre. Current developers are fucking retarded.

>>718537938
At this point though why not? Horde outnumbers Alliance in player count. Blizzard adds countless races nobody wants that get 0.1% player population. Why not add high elves? It's literally "to make you seethe."

>>718537801
guarantee you they didn't spare a single thought to troll players. this is an elfsissy game now

Wouldn't they make a gazillion more dollars and have far more players if they dropped their current monetization model?
Forcing expansion purchase + sub is a massive barrier to playing and seems so outdated

i'm moving to pservers. this entire company deserves a fate worse than bankrupcy.

>>718538206
no, they have alienated all the normal people
there is no proof it would be a ROI, since trannies and women currently playing are more than happy to buy every single thing blizzard shits out
they are making mad bux despite playerbase being rather small

>>718538206
>massive barrier

It's not. Never has been. Besides, there's enough paypig whales in WoW that they'll forever pay. It's why Blizzard constantly gets away with shit like "Super deluxe editions with 3 day headstarts" and constant additions to their cash shop.

>>718538206
here's the source of their gazillion dollars
this game runs on faggots buying worthless garbage

>>718538090
Because it won't change anything in practice, the game isn't getting new players fast enough and the players it does have are already deeply invested. The only thing that will happen is that a ton of existing Alliance players will race swap to Blood Elves so they can goon to belf /dance and ERP at the gates of Stormwind.

>>718538206
yeah i'm sure filling the playerbase with poor thirdies who can barely speak english is a net benefit

What do all the genres that killed MMOs (MOBAs, gacha, hero shooters etc) have in common? They're all free to play.

>>718538572
as if the playerbase isn’t already full of thirdies

>>718538560
That doesn't make any sense. They still keep adding races every year. And no one plays them. Add the one every single fucking person asks. It'd be easy. You're getting this instead. >>718520524 100% designed by an actual autistic furry.

>>718538618

>They still keep adding races every year. And no one plays them.

This is quintessential proof that literally only existing Alliance players care about this issue. Adding belfs to Alliance won't poach Horde players.

>>718534186
https://www.nexusmods.com/baldursgate3/mods/11166

>>718538878
Who cares about poaching horde players? Just add a race people want, instead of dumb shit. This is not hard to understand.

>>718538445
It's a massive barrier to new players and even returning players
Instead of just installing it and playing and getting tricked into microtransactions, they don't play it all because the they have to consciously think "do i want to pay for a sub and the latest expansion?"

>>718538206
>Forcing expansion purchase + sub is a massive barrier to playing and seems so outdated
don't worry, they're still dropping $100 mounts

>>718538980
Here's to another 15 years of Alliance seething. How about you complain about something productive instead, like the faction system itself?

>>718513970 (OP)
The loss of that second year between expansions really fucked up the CG team, huh.

>>718536667
No, it was more like a temper tantrum "the void is inevitable, so I will destroy creation to deny it to them" and since the titans kinda wouldn't go along with that idea, demons were the only other option for an army

>>718538998
They aren’t trying to bring in new players, just milk their existing ones.

>>718539073
Okay, so yeah. You agree with me. They don't add them because they just want to make people annoyed.

>>718538618
I feel like one reason a lot of people play classic is that you don't have to pay for expansions

>>718539128
The people who are annoyed are whiny cunts that have been on about this for more than 15 years. Belfs aren't a cross faction race for lore reasons, there are only three cross faction races to date and they only started doing that with MoP. If you want to play a belf, then make a fucking belf, no one is stopping you.

>>718538998
But it's not. Not anymore, maybe at one time.

Like the other anon said, MMO demographics have drastically changed. They're no longer about unemployed people with a lot of free time, or even teenagers/young adults with summers to spare.

It's all middle aged retards who inadvertently drop money on the next consumerist slop without even thinking about it because that's all they've ever done.

The people who have to consciously check their bank accounts before buying things are not the target audience for MMO players, and certainly not retail WoW.

>>718537801
who the fuck wanted some missing link ooga booga trollelfmutt?
nobody, that's who
elf fans wanted and still want the bland cracker high elves
and troll fans don't want a troll race that borders on being night elves with armpit fuzz

>>718539446
People don't want to play blood elves. They want to play high elves. Which currently already exist in the Alliance. I'd be fine with not having them, but Blizzard keeps adding autistic furry races no one wants. It's dumb, lol.

>>718538206
if you can't afford $70 a year on a hobby it's not a hobby for you

>>718539526
>People don't want to play blood elves. They want to play high elves.
As explained previously, there is no difference between belfs and high elves but the name. Go replay The Frozen Throne and actually listen to Kael'thas.

>>718538298
The .2s.

>>718539597
But they exist. So why not add them? They literally added DEI gnomes before blue eyed elves. It's just dumb, lol.

>>718518315
Old blizzard trailers were better than most CGI movies at the time. And this particular trailer might as well be the most badass official lore out there. Too bad they dropped the ball on the actual expansion, They literally didn't finish it and cut half the content.

>>718539559
>if you can't afford $70 a year
You have a valid point in your post but this part is dishonest

>>718539648
Again, belfs aren't cross faction for lore reasons

>>718539710
But there are factual Alliance high elves. The Silver Covenant. Add them. lol.

>>718539620
do they still do timegating stuff? I'm guessing the actual end comes in a month or so?

>>718539710
There is no faction split in the lore any more and the only reason it still exists in game is they're scared of spaghetti code

>>718539748
NPCs don't count. Here's to another 15 years of autistic Alliance seething, just make a Horde character, it won't kill you.

>>718518945
Just release the naga or ogres already, what the actual fuck is this dogshit. NElves but ugly, yeah I'm sure the 90% of the playerbase that plays Belfs and Nelfs will reroll into this abomination.

>>718539803
And again, you just prove my point. Blizzard is terrified of adding a race with blonde hair and blue eyes.
