You figure it out ๐๐ผ
you tell the difference by being vaguely familiar with what you're talking about
basically
like at least vaguely familiar
if you know nothing about something, you won't really know
So. There was no point to this whole conversation on dictionaries possibly being wrong because we won't know if it's actually wrong to use one that may possibly have the wrong definition?
Yes, there was no point to any of this.
And, I think that circles back to human bias either way
so about slaughtering the Vulpera in a new crusade with the Sehtrakk leading us
@tropic trail would u consider this article's premise to be true? https://labs.la.utexas.edu/langloislab/face-perception/maxims-myths-of-facial-beauty/
What are some popular wow couples
I dunno canon, but I hear lots about jaina/auduin and Sylvanas/Nathanos
Like. canonical ones?
or fan shipped ones?
Cuz Jaina/Anduin is weird. Considering Anduin sees Jaina as his aunt
The most popular/relevant atm would be Turalyon/Alleria, second most recent Tyrande/Malfurion. Third that comes to mind is Ji and Aysa. But no one remembers pandas.
sylvanas/nathanos is pretty much canon now, ever since the short story dark mirror
Have they actually done anything a couple would?
i like how people totally forget Thrall/Aggra
Jaina's with Kalecgos now, isn't she?
She dumped him
oh i missed that
Iirc its in the Tides of War book.
How about Garrosh and Sylvannas
Kalec tries to talk Jaina out of being so angry at the horde for killing theramore and she just isnt having it
then leaves.
um
"When Jaina attempted to flood Orgrimmar with a tidal wave formed from the Focusing Iris, Kalecgos managed to calm her down and prevent her from doing it. Eventually, they brought the Focusing Iris to Dalaran for safe-keeping. After the Blue dragonflight was dissolved, Kalecgos decided to stay in Dalaran and became member of the Kirin Tor when he began his relationship with Jaina."
Thats what I remember.
Sylvanas/Nathanos best creepy undead unhealthy emotional bond
the tides of war book is where they get together. if they've broken up it's after that. but i don't see any evidence that they have, unless you count him staying in the council when she buggers off
I distinctly remember her walking off from Kalec in dalaran in a personal conversation
"In the short story Dark Mirror, Nathanos expresses an explicit attraction and deep personal loyalty to Sylvanas, stating that she is more important to him than his home, or his position as ranger lord. The text further places emphasis on the physical closeness between the two, such as Sylvanas brushing his hand with her fingertips and requesting his "company" for the night at the Marris Stead."
You'd have to read the story, but I think it's pretty obvious
I did read the story. they just beat around the bush and didn't make anything actually official.
yeah and britney and justin didn't have sex they just slept together in the same bed, couples do that
If its a 1 night stands its not a couple. that's just sex.
๐
Has the meaning of a couple just become less impactful? I was taught a couple to be more like Alleria/Turalyon. Loving, loyal, truthful. etc. Sylvanas doesn't exhibit many of that with her being a banshee. (Dark Mirror reflecting on the past experiences of Nathanos and Sylvanas and showing some hints towards those feelings maybe still being around)
I ship Sylvannas and Garrosh because they're so alike
A relationship is about love/truth/loyalty but when the couple isn't compatible with each other, that's a big turn-off for both, potentially
Sylvanas/Nathanos is not a good, healthy couple. That's what makes it interesting. ๐
i mean
theyre undead
ofc its unhealthy
undeath isnt healthy
i think the relationship isnt toxic
the only reason it may be toxic is because Sylvanas is shitty at like, everything.
I highly appreciate a bond that is not necessarily romantic but an adoration and loyalty that extends beyond death
And, uh, beyond morality
Appreciate in the dramatic sense, not the idealized sense ๐
so who is excited for an alpha build being pushed tomorrow?
eh
Only if it has Alliance Warfront plate armor
i doubt it
Why do you care so much about that
warfronts are probably not one of the testing priorities right now
I dont care about the alpha tbh
but quests!
I'd rather see it more polished
story!
pumpkin paladin, ya mean
I made that mistake for Legions beta
i mean
and got so excited for Wrathions return
its about testing
only to get squashed
i mean
So I aint gonna get my hopes up
I refuse to watch anything about the BfA story... I wanna be surprised xD
well this is a bad channel for you aseryn
it probably doesn't look as good in-game as it does in the images
I'm sure it won't
yea. pretty much.
i know
but if it's anywhere close I'll be happy
Yeah once I see something I usually change channels lol
i ran a sandbox
it looks that good
the volumetric fog system is impressive af
the sounds
the music
early march is the next prophetic date
for what?
Xorothian Chanters
next stage of the silithus story seems most likely imo
Who knows
that's a thing still
i forgot about that
I think the silithus story will come much later
the artifacts were coded to have their power start collapsing in march
Just a tiny issue we haven't resolved
mid march
Before the bfa launch
so maybe this is the sword cutscene thing
because the power instability is supposed to be active over several months
also, the battleground preview still isnt live
What will happen to the artifacts? We will just sell them to a vendor or keep them in our backpacks?
"the ashbringer... Hmmm... Best I can do is 5 gold
they can't be sold, i'm pretty sure, Exo
yeah we just stop using them
they cannot be sold or destroyed
they become unstable
xD
Like every other legendary item in the game
I dont see why people think theyre so magically different
but we cant let that dark power get into a villain's hands
I will happily give my ashbringer to the old gods
same
I'll lend all 32 of mine to the old gods
happily
32 horsemen of the apocalypse
I hope they will make an expansion when we actually lose
the power of the artifacts will be lost in the Wound in the World story
They can't unfortunately
We're at a point where
if we lose theres no more game
at all
Not really
We can survive without azeroth or any other planet?
and go where? just sit there twiddling our thumbs?
On a final push
oh yeah, let's see how much non-undead characters can breathe in space
that'll totally work out great
If we lose Azeroth is gone there's no getting her back at that point
that is true
And the pantheon looks at us "tsck tsck. I knew we should have never trusted them"
We need to start to recycle for azeroth
I dont think that'll help Exo
xd
#WhoeverdecidedtomaketheHordeandAllianceneedstobeerasedfromhistory
#thecreatorsofwowmustbeerasedfromhistoryandthuswehavenomorewowsuchasmartplan
#ThatsalittleaboveBlizzardspaygrade
From classic
yea no thanks
if we actually force the main servers to start over I'm never coming back
it should be renamed "World of Chillcraft"
and everybody smokes a dooby and relaxes
Did they ever say we will go to the other side of the planet?
I really doubt theres anything over there
Considering we know that N'zoths prison is over here. on this side of the planet.
aside from a massive ocean with possible ruins and monsters we've not seen before?
There could be a monster like Jormungandr there
We will become like the movie Pacific rim
tho if that's the case, Azeroth and us are screwed
We go there in robots and fight oversized aliens
in Northrend
And we sacrifice ourselves
To destroy them once and for all
And we must kill a max level char
That would be real sacrifice
is he still breathing fresh beautiful air?
"I have sacrificed everything. What have YOU done?"
Yeah, once
We deathknights sacrificed a heck of a lot more :v
It would have been awesome if our demon hunters became purified by the naruu
They are basically useless now
Why do people keep assuming that
DHs are not useless
they arent useless
They aren't useless against none demons
^
^
Their whole point was to defeat the legion
becoming a demon hunter means using the legions power against the legion
their whole point was to protect Azeroth
that existed solely to defeat the scourge
but with the legion gone, they can turn their power to the next threat
Yeah, and the ebon blade still does something now
I'd say illidan was pretty good at fighting undead in WC3
I want illidan back
^
He payed well <3
he did not
I was high on his paycheck
he payed no where near enough
I hope more Horde leaders start dying.
Actually, just one for now. The Banshee Queen
I just want the entire horde to be wiped from existance so the alliance can be properly wiped out by the old gods and only the elves areleft
why
because I hate both factions but hate the horde more
I want both factions to get wiped out
whats so confusing about that
Im a bigot towards them
what's confusing is, you're condemning an entire mass of races to possible execution because.....?
i can't think of any reason you'd want that, rationally
Because of bigotry.
exactly
so whats so confusing
because bigotry harms the bigot, not the victim
and, i lit cannot understand bigotry so there's that
The darkspear trolls are almost extinct. Not many seem to be left
But Alliance really deserves some loses
Malfurion and Tyrande have been along too much. Velen won't die, we know that, but the rest...
Oh we've had losses. but its all in minor races.
I hope everyone dies
yes
Only alliance
I hope they die
they all die
Yeah, we don't see any Horde because they are on the Exodar
And? Is the horde not invited to fighting the true enemy of everyone not themselves?
They are, but the will have a different starting place
Oh what spaceship?
Or maybe they are there, but not in those scenes
Alliance controls all the ones that exist.
Maybe they are already fighting proudly, while the alliance cries
Yea. dying. faster and incapable of actually holding their ground without the alliance being around
just like the broken shore.
The allied races didn't seem fair. The Horde got 2 major Cities, Suramar and High mountain, while Alliance got a small army with a spaceship and a few blood elves that live on rocks
They stood their ground. They were overrun
They pulled back after Vol'jin was stabbed once.
I do believe that scenario was crap
that's not really holding their ground
I mean, Baine should have done some more cardio and Vol'jin died for nothing
Baine did really shit
Thrall did nothing as well
If Garrosh was there, he would have won
he wouldn't have stopped fighitng and started killing anyone who retreated.
Vol'jin died only because he looked around for Thrall and Baine
More portals?
Iron star
Vol'jin died cuz he turned his back on the demonic army
He deserved getting stabbed
I hate the fact that they killed him JUST for fairness, and after that the Horde gets a much bigger army from allies
I loved Vol'jin
What are you gonna do with that?
We can obliterate you and you can't touch us :v
Remember those hearts we gathered? We have a light canon and shield techology on that sucker
Alliance will NEVER use the vindicaar against the Horde
"What'll happen if I just aim this canon at them and power it up but DONT FIRE IT"
"obliterating a race, gone wrong!!! Gone sexual!!!"
"COMMITING GENOCIDE!?? (100% REAL emoji emoji emoji) PRANK GONE TO FAR"
Headlines in Dalaran: "Has Jake Paul finally gone too far?"
I think dalaran would fight against the vindicaar if such a thing happened
I thinkDalaran wouldn't give a rats ass since theyre neutral
I don't think so
They didn't allow Jaina to use their power, and I think they would feel too powerful and great to let such a thing happen
riddle me this: Why would Khadgar force Dalaran into the faction war after having just pulled it out of one?
Far from it. Khadgar isn't full of himself. Kalec certainly is a humbled former aspect of magic.
Because its a custom human model.
to represent him being a 'half-elf'
so when they passed over the HD touch ups, his was left untouched
I hope all of the horde dies
Why
because I'm a bigot towards the horde
The Horde did nothing wrong
how is that not abundantly clear
Because I despise them, their history and everyones favor towards them
They came into the world as murderous barbarian monsters and will leave the world as such
No
Yes
Only the orcs did
First war. the Horde came into Azeroth forcibly to invade and slaughter.
And they were influenced by the fel
Second war they restarted the war.
Arthas and Jaina saw the orcs after they lost their influence and said they didn't look as barbarians
Because they gave up and had their spirits broken
the only way we had peace on Azeroth
I think if Thrall led the Horde it would have been much better
Thrall and Jaina we're good friends
Baine and Anduin
Your point? We haven't had peace since orcs were disbanded and were tossed in the internment camps
Alliance aggression starting with Silithus this time around. Gennโs influences over Anduin will lead to devastation for the Alliance. Heโs too focused on vengeance and Sylvanas is focused on preservation and survival, the winner is pretty clear.
yea its the alliance still
Genn will be dead before 8.1 calling it now
Genn is just a bitch
Hypothetically if he died who would โleadโ the worgen though?
Every reprisal is itself an act of aggression, and every act of aggression triggers immediate reprisal.
and Tess Greymane still lives
the princess
So probably her
I don't like the worgen
Name something of the alliance you do like that we're talking about
They were only accoeted because of zmalfurion
I like nothing about the alliance
Only the females
sexist
and thats not even true. you dont like tyrande
so get outta here with that fake ass stuff
he's not a female
who does like tyrande and malfurion? ๐ค
It was a joke
Iโm Horde bias but I truly believe Mekkatorque deserves more opportunities in the story.
Slaughter em all. leave the elves and dragons left. they'll defend azeroth.
They won't
Alexstrasza, Nozdormu, Ysera*, Kalecgos
*sorta
And we already know that the bronze dragonflight is useless
The bronze are busy tending to the timeline
ya know
the one thing we can't let them stop
They let an enemy through their caverns and couldn't fix a timeline, which is what they are supposed to do
In order to fix our timeline they have to manage all of them
Not true at all
If one timeline is problematic, then all of them will collapse
I remember that from the book
That's not how it works here in WoW but hey.
I will show you when I get home
Do remember theres a timeline where thrall died as a child.
So, are we losing our artifacts as items or are they going the route of the old legendaries and just sitting in our banks?
Yes
Arthas never became the lich king
Nothing in that timeline is right
yet ours is perfectly fine
They didn't cuz that's how that timeline was supposed to go
Every timeline does not move in the exact same way.
that's the point of different timelines.
They must follow the same story
they dont
The only one that musnt deviate is our timeline.
Which is what the infinite flight has been trying to do.
But then why did Thrall have to save that timeline?
He never did
He did
He went into that timeline because Nozdormu was lost there
Yes.
This xpac?
End of the dungeon he steers us to the legion general leading the attack on Karazhan
when we down the wannabe beholder he appears on the ship tells Khadgar he did good and then flies off majestically into the nether
Im noticing a pattern here
You dont like anything that doesn't pretain to the horde
Not really
Yeah, I love the horde
And I don't really like the alliance in this case
name one thing you've said ya liked that isn't horde.
ya never mentioned his dance until now.
Which is true
And I don't like the horde in this state either
I liked the horde in the past
Crying?
Like when?
Varian hardly ever cried.
Anduin hasn't actually cried. He's been pretty depressed.
Anduin
Which is 100% understandable considering he's just a kid that has suddenly been thrusted the worlds problems onto his shoulders right after losing his father
He cries in the bfa trailer
sylvanas has permanent tear stains ๐ค
And crying not literally
alliance is clearly superior faction
From the pain
The alliance are always depressed
When was Varian depressed?
Tyrande hasn't shown actual signs of depression until they forcibly wrote it on her
Varian was depressed
Velen is Velen.
Mekkatorque hasn't been depressed. Magni nor any of the other hammer members haven't been
...
Mekkatorque has never been in the lore
yet he exists in the lore
We never know how he is feeling
a 19 year old
somehow has to not cry over the fact that his ideal of peace can never be achieved and now has to lead an army?
Yet we had an entire retaking of Gnomregon
a 19 year old who lost his father during the events prior to BFA
And Magni doesn't care about the alliance anymore
After losing his only real friend as well Xan
yea no he's a crybaby
give anduin some credit
Why?
he's literally basically a high-schooler being put in charge of an army.
He smites a damn dreadlord like its nothing
He always cried
:T
He ressurects and heals an entire army
So powerful men can't show emotion apparently?
Ofc not.
He should think about winning a war, not crying over his fsther
gotta have that toxic masculinity ya know
Yea god how dare he have feelings
he should alienate everyone so he doesn't relate to anyone thusly making him a more hated character
how dare the writers try and make him very relatable.
I didn't say he isn't allowed to show emotions. But on the battlefield?
Anduin covered in sweat: "FOR THE ALLIANCE!!!" = clearly crying.
Sylvanas with runny mascara: "FOR THE HORDE!!!" = clearly not crying.
You just said he shouldn't be crying over his father.
Anduin had EVERY BONEBROKEN IN HIS BODY
You expect him to not cry about that?
note:
He expresses his feelings way to much. Not only when he is in pain
he actually is crippled from that if i recall
He is
there were moments where he was written as using a cane post bell incident
iffff i recall.
he's just 19
and his body literally was broken.
But yea god. How dare he show any form of emotion
if he somehow doesn't have horrific, chronic pain i would be very suprised
How dare he show some humanity and semblence of being a person. He needs to be an emotionless edgelord.
... so
Dye his hair black
get eye liner
king = emotionless asshole that is the most unlikable thing ever
Yes.
kay.
Horde logic
You're catchin on Xan
I do
She's a terrific villain
If you want originality, make your own story :v
I would have made Baine the warchief
My theory is Malfurion will turn sylvanas alive again
How?
I think only a Druid or maybe just arch Druid could bring undead back to life
Baine is also an example. His father died when he was young and he doesn't cry over him so much.
And as a result she won't be able to command things or spread a disease or curse etc
baine was a grown bull by the time Carine died
and he had to deal with a civil war immediately
She doesnt' do any of that stuff now Brown
How old was he?
There is no exact age, however he was fully grown.
Anduin was grown was well
Anduin was nowhere near grown.
He wasn't a child angmore
19 years old is not grown
Baine also doesnt cry about it because we literally never see him on screen
We had an entire quest line for Anduin honoring his father. Nobody did the same for Cairne or Vol'jin
We see Baine on screen
More than Mekkatorque for example
Vol'jin didnt have kids and Baine wasn't leading an entire faction through an apocalypse
Voljin has kids actuskly
Vol'jin didn't have kids in game*
Theyre like Veressa's kids
they only pop up as plot devices
Also, Baine DID mourn
(implying the mother could possibly have any relevance outside of being the babymama for Vol)
Oh lawlz
he fled to Theramore and was moping when anduin found him
how is she the cool character to you?
She would have a cool story if they tried
It's a story we have never seen before
xd
She wants revenge over a fallen family member.
the cool character is the depressed mother that almost abandons her five year old twins so she could die and be with her dead sister
YES
after stating
Pretty sure she didnt know she was goingto get killed
you hate that the alliance is all depressed
Oh no she knew
She was going along with that shit until she rememberd her kids
"Sylvanas realized that the Forsaken would not accept a living creature into their leadership and decided she would murder Vereesa so that her "Little Moon" could be reborn at her side as an undead."
Sylvanas told her she would feel no pain
She would fall asleep and when she would wake she would be a forsaken
But beside that point, personally yes, I do think Vereesa's a great character with that flaw. She was torn between her old family and her new one.
And in the end put Sylvanas aside to embrace her sons
Genn doesnt have 2 families
Genn wants revenge over his fallen son and his city
Vareesa wants revenge over her husband
and nothing else.he doesn't lose anything but gains everything
That's not even the story we're talking about
The only thing different is the family conflict
I mean, if you put aside the political conflict, Vereesa still being enemies with most of her people, and the entirety of Vereesas family
how dare multiple people who have all lost loved ones to the horde want revenge of the horde
I guess
they need to have variation damn it
how dare the sociopolitical state of quel'thalas be more than black-and-white
Theyre also kinda polar opposites in the fact that genn despises Sylvanas, Vereesa still loves her
if anything genn and alleria are more similar, especially if turalyon ends up dying to the Horde
Vareesa could have joined the horde and fight against Garrosh
Garrosh did nothing wrong 
#GarroshDidsomethingswrong
She may not have been accepted in the alliance
#GarroshDidALotWrong
Vereesa already is in the alliance tho
What!
Where has it ever been said that Vareesa or the Silver Covenant not be accepted in the alliance
?
The Silver Covenant is literally the alliance faction in Dalaran during Wrath
He was kind of put in a bind during Cata, and actually did a lot of honorable things during his reign of the Horde.
She is a belf and they might have been mad at the saboteur incident
Are you talking about valeera?
You can tell by the eyes
Valeera is a blood elf. and she's been in the alliance as a personal companion and friend to high king varian wrynn
Huh
High elves have blue eyes, blood have green
and void have purple
blue and green tinted eyes. As far as we know they still have their iris colors
technically speaking their eyes can range widely across all colors
but blizzard hasn't put in cosmetic options for the characters and so kept them to the simple green/blue distinction
As shown, Allerias eye color originally was natural emerald green.
it makes sense for in game stuff, since most character probably dont know the different between blood and high elves beyond green eyes vs blue eyes
most players*
Indeed.
Which is also probably why they retconned the Alleria having green eyes thing
Alleria was a belf?
Wasn't it the other way round?
Vareesa a belf and Alleria a helf
Nope
I don't think Alleria was ever a blood elf
Both were high elves
Cuz blood elves didn't exist while alleria was in the alliance
back in the second war
I thought vareesa was a blood elf all along
No. She never has and never will
She doesn't even have green eyes and wears all blue. 0=
Since Alleria wasn't around for the blood elves I thought Vareesa had to switch
I don't remember her eyes
I only remember yours :3
thats not how the blood elf 'conversion' worked.
No windrunner has ever been a blood elf
You went with Kael and fought for Silvermoon rather than run to the alliance
I have huge lore holes
that's how the blood elves first came toe xist
Now theyre distinct as the blood elves fed on fel energies.
I have never read about the ritusl
and have glowing green eyes to the high elves light blue eyes
there aren't any rituals
You should start at the beginning.
the actual names are political, blood elves just got the fel side effect from Kaels ventures on outland
When I played TBC I didn't really care
Because its gonna really fuck your world when I say all elves came from trolls
I was too young
Didn't even know english
I know that
I know night elves come from dark trolls then they became blood elves
Mhmm skipped some
And I know how
The dark trolls were around the Well of Eternity (Made from Y'shaarj being ripped out of Azeroth) and became the Kaldorei. The kaldorei split up into 2 subraces, the kaldorei-Night elves and the Kaldorei-Highborne. After the well exploded the Night elves exiled the Highborne. The highborne followed Dath'remar Sunstrider to the Eastern Kingdoms and into the Amani lands now known as Eversong. They used magic to make it eternally either summer or spring i can't rememberthat detail. Anyways. They created a new well called the Sunwell to draw power from and created the High elves. Arthas comes by some thousands of years later and then slaughters a good 90% of the population. Of the 10% left, 90% became blood elves and the few high elves left fled to the alliance.
and thats the history of the elves in a nutshell
Naga and satyr use to be elves, any others?
Trolls are the only race
The real race
Everything comes from trolls
Troll masterrace
Trolls are my favourite race if it isn't obvious enough
Are you a troll?... ๐ฌ or just like trolling ๐
Lol
Now, where does Nightborne fall into place? Other than being addicts like the belf.
here is some really cool unknown lore. so basically one time a highmountain tauren went moo and like everyone went what i though you were a moose
pretty important lore
@bold geyser The Nightborne were a section of highborne elves from the city of Suramar who put their city into a massive bubble in order to survive the assault from the burning legion during the war of the ancients. They didn't emerge until 10,000 years later, at the time of Legion, looking very different to how they originally appeared due to the arcane influence of the nightwell, a font of arcane energy at the heart of Suramar.
Didn't their queen betray them, or am I thinking of the wrong set of elves
Their leader, Grand Magistrix Elisande, made a pact with the legion, allowing them access to the city and the use of the nightwell for their nefarious purposes in exchange for the lives of Suramar's people.
I should seriously finish legion
If you haven't been to Suramar yet then you should probably do that, yes. It's all explained in a handy little cutscene ๐น
Ah
I would but Lageran is absolutely terrible with my pos computer
And saying my main is a Warlock ๐ it's more like hell
so how is this bfa beta spoilers my dudes
Right
oh come on, this is at least relevant to WoW
we have so many conversations in this channel that aren't
shadowburned
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x_NzxWGrVaY @bold geyser you can watch it here anyhows
I approve greatly of the Veereesa comic linked by Vris
"What sons?"
(And seriously, Vol'jin have kids? Where the hell are they ?)
@true matrix ye but I'm still wondering why you moved from #ptr-or-spoilers that channel fits thsi "general lore talks" much more than this one ๐
@winter galleony#6714 isn't one of his kids Yenniku? which is main focus in Northern Stranglethorn story
no idea about others
that channel's locked, dude :V
has been since BFA datamining started
so... we live here now
We have no choice.
really? such a shame ๐ฆ that would be ideal place for lore talks... so as you said, you have no choice now
We're chanless now
we have no home, no place in the world... all we have now is each other
All.. three of us. Or is Hyper still with us too?
@dusky ginkgo Vol'jin has 3 sons, but they were never mentioned in the story
there's you, me, vris, arson... hyper is here now and then
so all five of us, I guess?
What?
Oh
I believe there are more people that just don't respond
They just like to read I guess
But why are there no people ever in the voice chat lobbies?
I don't speak english.
the nature of online gaming and voice chat and the consequences of partaking in such activities have somewhat put me off from attempting to in a place that I can't guarantee I won't have abuse hurled at me
but that's just me
<patpat Mei>
Why would you be abused?
for the most part I think people just prefer text chat over voice
Litteraly, my accent is too thick, english-speaker doesn't understand me in voice chat.
no, I need an environment where anyone with a remotely feminine-sounding voice won't get called a bitch or similar at the first opportunity
I don't think this community is bad anyway. I don't think anyone will abuse someone for any reason
yeah I know
I suppose another reason is I'm autistic and voice chat wears me out a lot ๐น
if blizzard remember they exist, maybe
I hope they were secretly trained by Vol'jin in becoming a shadow hunter and thats probably going to be a new class
I'm not sure Blizzard remember
They can't forget
did we ever even know about his partner? I don't remember anything about that
so children just pop outta nowhere now
Prostitutes
god, it's like how they had to invent varian's mother for the warcraft film
Wasn't he an orphan in the film?
nope
his father dies near the end (spoilers), but his mother, queen taria, is still very much alive at that point
.. So we see how much character the poor mother had in this movie
she was actually introduced into the game canon later on
she was actually a really good character
Yeah, indeed. Did she even have any lines?
and I'm not just saying that because I have a soft spot for ruth negga
she was sister of Anduin Lothar wasnt she?
she did! she had a good number of speaking parts with other characters, including a scene with garona
that's correct maxi
Oh right, I remember now!
The.. murlocs?
I remember her being white..?
@dusky ginkgo the murlocs. Are they gonna add them again in the next movie?
I didn't get to finish my sentence
Why is Taria black
I am still mind blown
Why not?
How could I forget
And I don't know for the murlocs
She was white in the game, right?
she didn't exist in the game
...I think you might be mistaking her for tiffin
varian's wife
๐น
:(
it's okay, it happens
@ruby prawn wait you call that black? I mean, she's not snowwhite, but this skin tone can be almost any "race" ๐
doubtful. demon hunters are somewhat redundant at this point
she's mixed :V certainly not white
@cinder knoll that's black for me. I don't usually see black people or different coloured people in my country
I know many pure white guy who are 100% blacker in the summer ๐
Not used to them
so judging by slight skin tone is quite, well, not accurate ๐
But Mei told us the ethnicity (is that the right word?) of the actress
I did, yes
ethnicity of actress doesnt have to follow character, unless she is super dark ofc ๐
she's ethiopian-irish :V
interesting, but the result look good ๐
https://d1u5p3l4wpay3k.cloudfront.net/wowpedia/9/91/Taria_BoB.jpg also this is what taria looks like in the prequel graphic novel for the movie
oh, ok, so she is in fact more whiter in movie than shes supposed to be ๐
He should have his skin color affected a little bit
genetics ยฏ_(ใ)_/ยฏ
Or Anduin at least
genetics isnt the same as RGB color mixing ๐
That happen, sometimes.
maybe he just takes after his dad more. maybe they just didn't think about his mother at all when inventing the character
Sexists
Like, you know the famous case of mixed race twins, and one is pastel white and the other black?
women haven't exactly been a prominent force in the game for most of its time
Genetics. ยฏ_(ใ)_/ยฏ
I mean they are improving over time
Probably not, I don't think the Queen existed as a character when Blizzard invented Varian. But it make a plausible excuse
she didn't
no, its writing ๐ its how they want it to be... but the real life explanation which is supposed to shut your mouth is genetics, so unless you are sexist or racist or whateven, you should accept it as a legit case ๐
they created her for the movie and she was then introduced to the game canon
but yeah, blizzard have slowly been improving the lack of prominent female characters in the universe. hell, all the allied races have female leaders, so that counts for something in my eyes.
Tyrande was NElf leader since ?
Azshara?
Sylvanas?
really improving recentyl?
people just see what they want to see to be able to complain
three characters out of how many?
not really. azshara is mostly just a character in lore, and a villain at that. tyrande has had terrible writing throughout the entire franchise. sylvanas is... sylvanas.
my point is blizzard haven't had the best track record in portraying female characters, but over time they've become better at doing so.
WoD was a bit of a sausagefest because of all save one of the warlords being male, so I really noticed when legion brought more female characters into the spotlight. thalyssra, elisande, mayla, liadrin, helya, alleria... etc.
Tyrande should have died long ago
^ (for Mei)
What about me?
I don't agree with you.
The introduction of Tyrande was weird
And I don't understand why illidan and Malfurion had to choose the same female and fight over her
as I said, blizzard haven't had the best track record in portraying female characters.
exo, don't you know? love triangles are such an engaging plot point :|
ugh
don't even get me started on Illidan Fedorarage
Too late, you're on
gd it
But he was an idiot
he worked better as a hammy raid boss villain than as an anti-hero
I liked the fact that they portrayed him more like a person
Like the sex dungeon in the black temple
I feel like sometimes people here just donโt like Warcraft lol
His personal problems and communication problems
~you're allowed to like something and also be critical of it~
^
shadowburned
But if you hate and criticize basically everything, thatโs not liking it.
(I do that ^ a lot)
We don't hate
I just said like five minutes ago how blizzard have been improving a lot on their portrayals of female characters
that's a compliment
What did I miss?
XD ok
also I was just talking a little while back about how much I love taria wrynn
Just watched about an hour of lore
We were talking about Blizzard portraying female characters and we talked about why is Taria Wrynn black
that was mostly you confusing her with tiffin to be honest
Yeah kinda
I'm guessing that's Anduin's mother?
No
no, varian's mother
Ok
Taria is Varians mother and Tiffin isnAnduins
^
it's okay, WoW lore is so vast it's impossible to know everything
most people I know who are big into lore specialise in specific areas
(e.g. blood elves, the third war, etc.)
"I read the novels, I am basically Nobbel now"
more like Novel87 amirite
xD
I'm a horde player so I know a bit about each race, mostly Blood elves
the blood elves have a fascinating history tbh
I try to dabble in a little of everything
rolls around in mud
but yes I love taria and I was so pleased when I found out they'd canonised her
Anywho it's basically 3 in the morning for me, and I have to persuade my wallet (boyfriend) to buy us bfa
Night
dreams
That'll be difficult without Ysera
why you gotta remind me of that :(
Sorryyyyy but she's in the stars...
Yeah, well no, it's cancer
What.. ?
She is the worst character in Overwatch
But we shouldn't talk about that here
It was mainly a joke
I'm not offended, I just don't know what to say. I've a Lick King to kill
That orc gear looks niiiice
Two guys can love the same woman. Heart wants what the heart wants :v
@dusky ginkgo hyper and honk are still here with us. So the 5 of us.
honk
@ruby prawn it's a pun on mei + agender
Who are the 5 horsemen?
right now or originally?
I'm the horseman of depression
Have you guys talked about the cultists? What could this be?
Silithus stuff probably
Battleground and/or artifact farewell
Well the beginning of artifact instability
Not the actual end of artifacts
Thatโs probably in the prepatch
No, the part where you absorb the power of Sargeras's word yea
I see...
I'm the horseman of.. Uh.. I don't know. What can I choose?
Mei said we're depression.
no, no, I said I specifically am the horseman of depression
can i be the horseman of prophecy then?
I am of grief
I.. guess I'm the horseman of bad temper?
