Edgy, you obviously don't get what we are talking about. I was referring to something we discussed in pms earlier.
I wasn't saying this was a private conversation
which is whether or not Sylvanas is evil.
And it turns out, no one in the warcraft universe is evil
There is just no evil
No, but if you continue a conversation from a private message in a public channel, expect people to weigh in based on the context of what they see
^
I was not mad about him weighing in.
I mean.... if you are talking about fundamental forces of the universe, I can see that there is no traditional evil. There is the Light, the Void, the Fel... but nothing classified as "evil"
great way to show it, huh?
noones mad here.
To quote the wise Locus walker, it is all about perspective.
Vris ended the conversation where we practically agreed to disagree.
Vris is just playing rn
Nah I just told you Im wrong
"Truth is just a matter of perspective"
"Nothing is true, everything is permitted"
Perspective doesn't mean shit
So Im turning over a new leaf. No evil has ever existed in the warcraft universe as no one can ever truly be evil.
What porter said is the summary of what I have been trying to say.
Gul'dan? just misunderstood.
I think it can be put this way; there is no completely objective evil, but there's an abundance of subjective evil.
Lich King? Just a joker.
the saracasm so thick it could be sliced with a butter knife
slavery may not be evil but it's certainly fucking shitty.
as such, Sylvanas is shitty and has done shitty shit
but never evil. As no ones evil.
no vris
ofc not
youre being an ass
That's what Khamnin said.
no its not
peach, it's exactly what they said
khamnin said evil isnt black and white
Theyve told me no ones really evil. Its just perspective.
peach
Which is why there is no evil
you see someone as evil
it isnt a fact
thats how evil fucking works
if you dont like that, too bad
We as players consider Gul'dan evil, but his followers wouldn't. It's not to say there's no evil, there's just no absolute evil.
^^^^
Here lemme show ya what I mean.
That doesn't remove the existence of evil period.
that's assuming that evil is an objective concept while it is inherently subjective.
No two definitions of the word are the same. It's also kinda ironic to say that "Evil isn't black and white" when evil is supposed to be either one of those or the other.
Yes it does.
Hell, that is kinda the theme now. Even the void and light are not black and white
They are gray
Evil just simply doesn't exist because our perspective dont mean shit
yea, i consider myself a pos but some of my acquaintances don't.
Does that mean i am objectively a piece of shit? No. It means it's subjective.
Vris has gone too far into taking the piss now for rational suggestions to matter cx
i agree with Vris tbh
Just because the presence of evil is subjective doesn't mean that there is no evil whatsoever
no, it means evil is a muddy concept and it cannot be objectively defined.
as such, there is no objective evil, whatsoever.
A person can be considered evil or have evil tendencies
it does mean there's no such thing as evil.
No two definitions are the same
By that definition nothing exists
Nothing does exist
I feel like we are having this conversation in the context of the real world, not a fantasy world where definitive, real forces are at work.
Color doesn't exist because some people are colorblind
post-modernist scum 😛
Nihilism is a crock of shit
Nihilism is a crock of shit.
Everything is shit.
That's the entire premise of nihilism.
it's that everything is meaningless
And that nothing truly exists
It's the philosophical viewpoint of people who are too lazy to find meaning
"Ma, get the LSD out! Someone needs to be learnt up on nihilism"
i can admit that i am lazy.
However, for me to say that i have meaning is for me to denounce my own control of my life
How so?
if i have "meaning" or am "meant" to be or do or whatever, something...
then what's the point of living
Meaning is self-defined and self-sustained. If you decide what's meaningful to you is to be content and enjoy your life, then the pursuit of that is what's meaningful
I'm not talking about pre-ordained or singular meaning. A person's life can have many different meanings.
I can be content and not have meaning at the same time
That doesn't mean that the universe has no meaning, which is the premise of nihilism
That just means you haven't defined or pursued meaning for yourself in your own life
So about those zandalari trolls.... >.>
The universe was formed in an unknown way and it's set to go out in an unknown way.
Billions, if not trillions of years of life and beauty destroyed to become something else.
If humanity is set to die, why do we possess the innate drive to explore, discover, and survive?
Call me lazy for holding this viewpoint as much as you want. However, as i'm sure you know, we each have our own perceptions.
I can have an epic life without clinging to "meaning"
That's the meaning you've given it though. We don't disagree, really. I'm just saying if, for example, one person feels that having close friends and relationships is what's meaningful to them, then that's meaning that their life has. The lack of completely subjective meaning or pre-ordained meaning doesn't remove the existence of all meaning.
But true enough, this is way off-topic, so anyway
this happens every day here, are you new?
Nope
:khadgarface:
Uh, is there any reason that your emjois don't work?
not sure
probably. how do i update it?
Somewhere in the top right near the search box should be a green arrow
If there's an update available
if your on pc there should be a little green arrow in the upper right side of the window
i use browser discord
.... download discord
already doing that
can we get back to talking about conjectures about bfa
by all means
Mogu Allied race confirmed
Everyones an allied race.
Vris is an allied rice

I am the only true allied race.
I said rice not race
@frosty matrix quote for u above
topkek
im really excited for the island instances
theyre just islands with some slightly altered NPCs
excitement is for plebs
I dont see what's so exciting about them
they look like good fun
I can't wait to see what some of the other NPC teams are called
considering the devs said theyre supposed to be 20-40 mins
they do not sound fun
at all
I'm in the camp that reckons that's what the "Jaina's Angels" team that was datamined was from
i mean i would rather do then then the same dungeons over and over and over again
im excited about the straight forsaken if we get it in the end
I can't figure your stance here; is that too long or too short
Plot twist: Jaina's Angel's is a guild of WoW devs
WAY to long
20 minutes is too long?
I don't think they're really meant to be a casual thing
Everything in this game is casual. My friends and I are not casuals by most means.
We greatly enjoy the Mythic+ system, except the dungeons like HoV because of the length it takes to actually clear it.
I mean, we don't have a lot of details about them, so I think saying that 20 minutes is too long is jumping the gun a little
they are for three man teams, doesnt sound like something that needs to be planned and prepared for. sounds casual to me
^
The most we ever really tolerate is like 18-20 mins. For that to be the minimum is not enticing at all.
They're not gonna be on the same levels, but isn't that like saying that since there's only two of you in 2s, that you don't need to plan or prepare?
In PVP its a bit different as you have to take so much more into consideration
which for the PVP version of the island stuff, yes it will take that
You know these CAN be PvP, right?
well you can prepare, but since they are randomly generated, yoiu can only plan so much
but for PVE, which is the majority of the playerbase
and where me and my friends reside
I dunno. To me it doesn't sound like a lot of time.
small group content that takes 20-40 minutes
which is half of our raid night
is a bit on the long side
also the pvp ones are more than likely going to PvPvE, with both differing teams plus the random group of mobs thrown in to make things more complicated
It's all conjecture anyway, so we have to wait and see
Dont sound fun for raiders like me.
Where did that 20-40 minute thing come from? I don't remember reading that in any of the articles I've seen on the islands
isnt it all a little bit conjecture at this point
Blizzocn
Raiders routinely spend several hours a night, what's your point?
On small group content
Raiders are going to raid, casual players will probably enjoy it a lot more
We don't mind spending entire nights on a few bosses with a bunch of our friends because so much more hilarity can come of it
but when its you and two other sausages, the time spent tends to not be as fun
even if there's like 25+ people in a single raid, it can take like 15-30 min
So you're already making a judgement on how much you're going to enjoy something, based on its time window given at Blizzcon and what scant information we have so far?
If you like to coordinate with a bunch of people that is good for you, but there are some of us that only have a few friends that play together, and who have a lot of fun playing together. So... 3 man teams on teh island sounds tons of fun those those kind of people
people sure like attacking others for their opinion here 🤔
I don't take issue with it. I just don't think I've ever heard someone who plays WoW with any kind of frequency say that 20 minutes is too much of a time investment
So I was kinda flummoxed
I was honestly trying to figure out if you were kidding
Alright so the reason I say that
as you clearly don't understand where I'm coming from
Vris is kidding about 80% of the time, but idk about right now
Raiders like me do care about our time spent. We don't like having to spend 30-40 minutes on a single dungeon when we could clear 5-6 of a smaller one in the same amount of time
i get what you are saying, you are saying that for those who raid, and who have a lot of fun coordinating with a large group of people, where anything can happen, may not find small group content as entertaining.
that's why people absolutely hated and even destroyed their HoV keys at the start of legion. No one in their right mind would run the place.
I raid, but I'm not a min-maxer, so I guess I don't really care
For people like me, if its not efficient then its not really fun.
That's why they drastically bumped up HoV's rewards, now they are -sorta- worth it but still not really as the place is still a ballache to get through
I personally view efficiency as being more about simplification over time investment
I think Im going to have a lot of fun with them. A couple of friends and I, spending 15-30 minutes running around on an island, with random obstacles. Sounds good to me
and that's great. It just doesn't sound all that enticing to me unless there's really good rewards off of it.
I'm really curious to see about this advanced AI they were talking about for the faux-PvP NPCs
The fun can't be the reward? 😄
Wont they have something to do with the Heart of Azeroth we are getting?
But these islands, again based on all the information we have, is our Azerite farm
So if they're not worth the time spent, then they won't be as fun.
I think I'm too easy to please in that regard
Im pretty easy to please as well.
sucks for both of u
I'd rather have fun than rank what's "worth" the time
why's that Troll?
For us, what's worth the time is fun.
What's worth your time Vris?
that's why we raid, its worth our time and is fun.
if you're easy to entertain, you don't know entertainment
You caught me. I'm a fucking worthless scrub who doesn't know art if it bites me in the ass.
Progression at a very manageable pace that is both rewarding and fufilling. Like I can walk away saying 'Yea. I got something I can use out of this to get myself further in the game.'
That's what's fun to me.
Enjoying having fun with friends means that you don't know entertainment, guys. Pass it on.
If that's how you have fun, then by all means. Knock yourself out.
Its just now how I have fun and why these islands do not sound at all enticing.
I was taking the piss out of Troll cx
wow, you sure caught me!
i'll let you know when your words affect me
You can't pass judgement on whether people "know entertainment" if someone is easy to please. That's just elitism.
Arson's pretty elitist.
good to know, ill take you much less seriously from now on
thank you
I guess being in high school is pretty boring these days
are you using ad hominem?
Nope. You mentioned elsewhere that you started on WoW about ten years ago when you were around eight
reading is hard
Word
i get reading is hard but if you're gonna make a statement like that unironically when a simple Ctrl+F can prove otherwise, what u doin'
I dunno my dude
Mostly laughing that your only protest to what I flippantly referred to was the part that had no relevance to the point I was making
what?
You asked if I was using ad hominem by "assuming" you were roughly high school age. I said the bit about what I read you saying earlier, and the only thing you had objection with was that you heard about WoW, not played it
Gotta try a little harder with your trolling I guess
no.
i asked if u were using ad hominem by your addition of "boring" in the sentence
That wasn't
............can you read?
I said that high school must be boring
If you're bored enough to troll that often
Boy, the point was like the ISS for you on that one
i may be somewhat dyslexic so somewhat not.
But yes, school is boring.
Why u assumin' that it is based on how much i troll?
Because if it wasn't boring and was keeping you busy, you'd have better things to do
schools aren't meant to be prison

Im getting flash backs to World War Z here
Hm, you know, with this new change and I think another I remember, I think they're trying to remove the paladin reliance on Judgement.
I'd like to see some of the range flexibility return to ret pally
We lost quite a bit of mid-distance utility at one point
Ah, really? I didn't know that.
I missed the actual change, but before I took a hiatus, there were some abilities and talents that let us do more from a little outside of melee range
Nothing hunter caliber, mind
It'll be interesting to see what they do. Chasing the Judgement window is a bit too 'samey' with some other classes, but it's a lot better than what I remember of ret-build pallies in mid-game vanilla when different blessings would apply different effects to your Judgement targets
Blessing for higher holy damage taken > Judgement > Blessing for holy dot > Judgement > Minor burst inside both windows > Repeat
Removing reliance on it for ret could end up being a good thing.
Oh definitely. Could be very freeing in terms of rotation
Alliance or horde?
Both.
alliance and horde without sylvanas

I don't play shitty alliance,but this made me chuckle
Zandalari master race
Yes
Lit as fuck fam

only the tip is on fire
Nah it's all on fire
🔥
Flamin' hot pubes.
Also I guess I'll have two druids on my server.
Because I want both Highmountain & Zandalari 
making two characters of the same class is the highest level of pure madness and time wasting

you race change your old characters
I choose not to spend money on race changes.

I also want heritage armour, but that's beside the point.
the fact you don't race change doesn't mean you should have all classes at max lvl
there's a lot to do
you just don't see it
because you're blinded by the mass of characters you have
Pls this is a christian channel with no evil on It
Think of the children
Also Dafire, I actully have every class at 100+. I have four dks and three hunters. Fit me.
ohshit
Why multiple of the same class? It never occurred to me to do that
Is there a particular reason?
if you want to play different races on same class?
Ooohh right
personally I have everything on both factions
Well I have two Hunters, because I transferred one because of guild stuff.
doesn't mean I play them actively
Also that, race class combos.
Class fantasies and so forth.
Also allied races, maybe you already had a warlock, but now void elves are a thing and you really want a void elf warlock.
There's a lot of reasons 
Personally I've just gone with whichever race fits the class the most, in my own opinion. Regardless of faction, having one of each on both factions is a bit much for me.
I just do it for race combos. I also make so many different ones for different spec/gear focuses and transmogs. Like I have a hunter fully dedicated to survival, a hunter fully dedocated to MM and one to BM. A DK for all three specs and one for PVP.
Rather than overhauling my UI when I swap specs, I just swap the characters.
Its what I do in times of content drought
That must have taken ages
All my characters are for RP purposes, so mine are not as diverse.
Mops dought, catas drought, wraths drought and WoDs drought
Every expacs had a drought. Ive just taken advantage rather than bitch and moan.
You can make a lot of gold with all those characters
Yea. But Im lazy and dont want to blood grind for the resources needed.
I use the BoS to make Potion of Prolonged Power
I just obliterate. I got control of the obliterum market on my server
I don’t play the AH, I don’t have the time
I just do Blood and Gold WQs and that’s it
I just buy out anything below 20k and sell em out.
If we talkin pure efficiency
The other way I produced a batch of them and I had so many it took me 10 minutes to craft them all
And if you have the characters to do it, every blood is priced at 1.2-1.5k raw gold
How?
So you just put blood in the AH or what?
Nope
Turn the bloods into the BOA resource caches
Send em to your alts and just do the good missions
Gold*
I have like... 3 alts only so
And 50k+ resources on my main
Thats why I said if yoy have the characters to do it
shrug
Time to level my DK, my DH, all my allied races.
Everything 
Jk, I hardly have time for that with school and also mythic raiding twice a week.

After leveling my Lightforged to 110 I need a break before leveling the other 3 races
Funny how everyone loves the Zandalari druid forms except troll players
Always someone that isnt happy with it
why would you not want to be a dinosaur tho
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Im about to betray my only values so I can transform into a dinosaur
it really isn
give me saberon form back as worgen cat drood thanks
Which now I can garuntee, the druid community is going to demand the other races get racial druid forms now
Saberon was such a garbo talent tho
Bloodtalons overpowered it tho
I feel like they eventually will
Or make it even with custom forms for kul tirans, then leave the rest
yeah but at that time I didn't raid at all and for doing things outside healing without exiting cat form was comfortable
and I was an anthro cat
why would kul tirans be druids
They're descendant from Gilneans.
They already are in alpha apparently
Kul Tiran druids? 
vris worgen can be druids only because the worgen form gives them a really close tie with the scythe of elune
Not true at all
Gilneans have the Harvest Witches, humans intune with nature to help grow their harvests. These are essentially pseudo druids for all intents and purposes.
https://wow.gamepedia.com/Harvest-witch You may read for yourself, the gilnean worgen get more powerful as druids, but Gilneans have always had the basics in their society.
Harvest Witches are kinda the same thing for Gilneans as Valewalkers are for night elven druids.
The use the forces of nature, but to a limited extend because they haven't a 'formal' understanding of it, since it came from Cenarius. Night elves had the knowledge given to them directly, and later passed them on to Gilneans
Which just allowed them to tap into their full potential.
Indeed! Until Cata, the Harvest Witches werejust used tospeed up crop production. With Kul'tiras beinga Gilnean colony that flourished into a kingdom, it makes sense that they'd bring along these same Harvest Witches to help grow sustainable crops. Like Gilneas when the Light was introduced, Kul'tiran Druids may have been pushed to the brink by the time we arrive, but they still exist. Still are there and willing to teach.
Gilneans were humandruids before going worgen.
yeah,but you kinda expect a giant wolf to be a druid design wise
I expect humans to be the same.
you dont expect a fat human to be a druid
I play games like Witcher where Druids are humans.
because the witcher doesnt have many friendly races
that arent humans elves
dwarfs
I love fantasy and the pagan stuff, so its very natural and common for me to see a human druid. Because that's where the belief stmes from.
not saying that human druid hasnt been done in many other games before
or real life
Kul'tirans aren't just fat humans. theyre skinny, or normal humansfor us.
yeah,but since both skinny and fat option are probably bundled in the same race
you can't stop ppl from making fat human druids
You can't stop people from making a british dog that shapeshifts into abear, cat or seal ion either.
Givent he context of worgen, yea I do. But I dont see how a human druid is weird at all. Again given the context that human druids have existed both in our natural history and most fantasy.
For the most time I actually felt it weird that humans didn't have any semblence of druidism in WoW. Until Cata.
i'm not saying human druids are werid per se,just that they're not even normal humans,
at least normal humans would look decent as druids
but FAT humans
that's weird
#fatshaming
A human whom is fat, skinny, hulk o whatever is still a human.
Like, what about fat rogues?
Hunters? Warriors?
fat hunters and warriors arent weird
fat rogues is the entire reason we dont have tauren rogues
Pandaren.
That we can see
So a fat warrior charing and leaping around with inhuman strength and finese isnt weird
A hunter whom survives off the land and lives in the wilds with his beast dodging peril at everyturn isnt weird
Yes but strongmen are all pure muscle
Not fat
Fat is all flub and chub
except.... strongmen literally are usually ectomorphs?
and do have less definition and even rather rounded stomachs
physical definition =/= actual strength of the person
or actual muscle either
just because you can SEE abs doesnt mean the person could actually do something with them, not all of the time
hence why bodybuilders are actually super fucking unhealthy and usually end up getting caught using steroids, have eating disorders, and even may implant silicon to get the "SUPER BUFF!" look when they're ACTUALLY not
Alright Ill give ya that
But here in the context of WoW
Fat druida are weird but fat warriors arent
lmao literally pandaren can be warriors and they're twice as fat as kul tirans
also rogues too
so its like
y'all
not to mention pandaren literally jiggle. @strange falcon
...... um
so won't padded shoes?
dude.
paws mean nothing
actually the common argument against tauren or draenei rogues mkes NO SENSE
because a hoof without a metal shoe on it is actually very quiet
i dont even want to get on the argument
kinda already did since your complaints against kul tirans being a certain literally are already done by pandaren so ¯_(ツ)_/¯
also hell why wouldn't kul tirans get rogues
OUTLAW = LITERALLY. PIRATES.
The most interesting thing is kul titans might get druids
Which in a way isn’t impossible considering they are descended from gilneans
yea! which would be really cool actually
Yes it would
and gilneans can shapeshift. despite the arguments against it
Human druids
genn said that kaldorei shapeshifting reminded him of harvest witches
during his short story
Plus it would allow the alliance to also get cool shapeshift forms
Since the druids of kul tiras probably had to learn through experimentation
Just like how zandalari druids have different forms because they get their powers from different loa
... or yknow
a kestrel falcon
like we're getting on kul tiras
like we're getting a BUNCH of predatory birds on kul tiras
or a horse for travel form lul
a wild horse as a form actually would be fucking scary. i don't see your point
I think something more different would be cool considering zandalari get a pterrodax
have you ever seen how mustangs are? they're horrifying when untamed
Horse form would be cool
a wild mustang would kill you.
Can’t imagine a bear or cat form
there are bears on kul tiras, but idk if it'll be the form
They could always go with visuals inspired by the runic wood stuff in drustvar
..................... yknow the REAL kicker would be if ... this gives us a wolf form though.
there's no big cats from what we can see on kul tiras
wolf form for cat form HMMMMMMMMMMMM
and, hey. you could play up the monster-hunting theme with that
We still don’t know the zandalari cat form
I imagine they are going to stick with reptiles
harvest witches / warlocks turning into wolves?
no wonder they're getting hunted down
Big BFA SPOILER INCOMING BE READY!!!
in short
it would be a REALLY good idea to use a wolf tbh to explain the mistrust lol
and just, some human turning into a literal wolf screams "black magic" themes that'd cause panic
especially that we see witch trials going on
I don’t know
It’s not really any different from turning into a cat
The witch trials center on hex magic
Not all magic
Albatross flight form
differing stigma on why it's different
if you're going to make a culture based around hunting down "wicked" creatures.
attacking people who are viewed as being pagan-inspired is goin' to be a thing
and blizzard has plenty of nasty IRL propaganda to take inspiration from to deal with how harvest witches of kul tiras may be treated
since outside of their sailing blizzard literally said "yeah. they're monster hunters."
Yes
Eye of azshara bird flight form
the white bird i forgot the name omegalul
lmao seagulls?
...... i hope sirens are another new naga breed
pls blizz
#MakeNagaWEIRD.
I think they are related to harpies
But I imagine we will see new naga variants
They need something for patch 8.1
I think it might be an island off the coast of zandalar based on the map changes yesterday
But I could definitely be wrong
they have updated the naga lord models
aka the shelled ones
so, they're probably going to work on more variants
I want totally new ones
Like a multi armed male naga
Or other octopus naga
Cuz azshara has that theme
Or maybe a female naga brute
Or male spellcaster naga
yeah nagas are pretty sexist
They are a somewhat undetailed group - there are very few different types in game
They need to diversify them
They really dont imo
Especially if there is going to be a naga raid
but do they hit it very hard?
How do you do a naga raid and not have them all look the same as the normal npc models?
Also yes they do - they did it with demons in legion to stop demon burnout
You mean the two naga bosses?
In the legion raid?
they did it with legion because there is AN ENTIRE LEGION WITH DIFFERENT SPECIES OF DEMONS
That were different form the rest of the raids theme?
naga are 1 race. 1 species.
naga are one race created by an old god
If azshara has tentacles, why can’t other naga?
Because Queen of the Hive mentality
why aren't all Zerg sexy human girls like Kerrigan?
but it’s not a hive mind
That's the hierarchy.
Also they don’t have to have them in the same way
I just want naga diversity
I don’t want to be burned out on naga in 8.1
I dont see a reason for it. It doesn't make sense specifically because an Old God made i
Old Gods are not known for Diversity. at all.
They're known for efficiency.
No one has
Tons of diversity
No one knows what an Aqir looks like
Yes we have
we only know they evolved into the seperate bug races we see today
Oh sorry
did somebody say male spellcaster naga?
//casually looks at own icon
Meant the qiraji
if female naga can be elven why tf can't male ones
blizzard fix your worldbuilding
(also it doesnt work on the "but nzoth made them that way" because naga are constantly mutating and changing.)
There's nothing to fix. Female naga are the brains, the smarts, the beauty.
Only azshara is able to take on her elven form
That we know of
We’ve never seen another do this
im not talking about an elven form
For all we know
i'm talking about elven appearance
as in not snake-faced
it was just an illusion spell
Which no other naga would have a need to do.
Azshara does because she's VAIN AS FUCK
Also males can be smart too
yea most other naga at this point are naturalborn naga
so its pointless for them to disguise as an elf
because they never were
Yeah
there's .. male spellcasters. there's literally male hydromancers in vashjir too
There is
Which again, I dont see hte need to diversify them other than purely the sake of diversification.
The issue is just the lack of visual diversity
Which I always think is dumb
There are two different female naga models
That’s it
God no
lmao no?
That was just an example of how you diversify something that was same-y before
You had argued that Legion had
despite the burning legion always having diversity in it
they're already updating and redoing other old god minions. so why not just a few more types of naga
Though I’m still sad the moag guys with the drill hands never returned with an HD update
They made those brutes
With the same name
More efficient than drill hand men
But they were a totally different visual motif
yeah mo'arg always have had several types tho
I liked the idea of a legion mechanic
the little engineers and felguards are the same species
And that kind of disappeared in legion
Visually it disappeared
The little goblins running around? The eredar mostly taking over that? Mo'arg are still running around for tech.
the ones from BC that usually built and manned the fel canons, Vris.
Yes different art style
They look like two different things
and the larger engineers that had robotics built into them and had large drill hands
All the other old demon updates just look like updates
basically the entirety of hellfire peninsula vris
two types of mo'arg were forgotten*
ah alright. the little engineer dudes.
yeah
the melee ones were updated, redone, and even given a new brutish one that towered over the others
I always saw it more as they got rotated out in favor of better looking demons
probably.
the wyrmtonge seem to have taken the place of the smallest mo'arg
wrymtongue**
Which is what I thought of.
Those guys
those ones though
Yes peach I know what you're talkin about
i would've wanted that updated
Yeah
that one was bigger and fuckin horrifying
Exactly
I never saw the need
It was what I thought of when they updated legion
And they just ditched them as a concept
Different art direction, different story direction, and different build directly.
Whereas naga haven't had any of that
They're really no different than WC3s naga
Even incorporating things like the Brute dogs into a much better scale
except we've already have had distinct mutations?? uh
you have the generic enchantresses and myrmidons
you have sea witches
you have naga lords.
and now in legion we got naga brutes
so there's clearly still more types out there
Sea witches have the snake hair?
Yeah
ya. and usually more arms + more arcane ability
What are the naga lords? The ones with the shells all over em and are just armored?
Those are cool
You have the two types of females
I saw the Sea Witches as former handmaidens
Multiples arms with the webbing back thing and then the same but snake hair
¯_(ツ)_/¯
Hence the more special models.
that is a VERY tiny amount of special forces then if they were
In which if Azshara is controlling them like that
Specifically made to defeat us
because you gotta realize the population has to be HUGE now
it makes much moresense for the underlings to NOT be diversified
and we've seen many, many sea witches that don't really make sense to ALL have been in azshara's court
An elite guard maybe
Maybe a type of guard that shoots crossbows
And so they have armor playing
Plating
So like the normal naga women who shoot their bows?
They wouldn't use armor plating as seen with the Naga Lords just using really hard sea shells
hell mistress sassz'ine even makes snarky commentary about azshara
which ... if she was favored in her court
she wouldn't do
You really dont know court politics then
when the naga empire is a dictatorship you don't.
People get themselves into court for power.
:T
except
she didn't?
Sasszine was with the Legion
mistress sassz'ine isn't legion
LMAO WHAT NO?
dude have you even done that fight???
She’s not Mistress Sass for nothing yknow
she's after the tidestone for AZSHARA
So Azshara was allowing her to let naga get fel corrupted?
the ones OUTSIDE of the tomb
went and betrayed azshara
the ones INSIDE of the tomb
inflitrated it to stop US
and give THEM
the tidestone
Not all naga serve Azshara.
Which is what I thought Sass was doing. Going to the Legion as shown with the naga outside.
mistress sassz'ine is the matiarch of the forces inside of the tombs and is loyal to azshara
She’s got nothing to do with the naga outside
the felsurge swore themselves to the legion
and have an entirely different matiarch
they even answered this question at blizzcon
and said that their matiartchs and beliefs can be so diverse they're parallel to how humans are
As their example
It's her comment about Harjatan's death.
Explicitly used the ones outside the temple too
Like along the lines of "why the queen ever LIKED this idiot i'll never understand" ... paraphrased rn since i can't remember the exact quote
"Mistress Sassz'ine yells: Useless beast! Why the queen was fond of him I'll never know!" that's not snarky towards Azshara
except it is? lmao
like "seriously why did you pick this idiot"
Nope
That's frustration and confusion over a love towards something that clearly is stupid
Not towards Azshara, but towards Harjatan
Cuz during her fight she doesn't exhibit any of the same 'snark' you say this line gives
She wasn't pointing out Azshara's incompetence, but Harjatan's
okay though
regardless
Mistress Sassz'ine's forces are lead by her.
The fel-taitned naga outside are lead by Lady Ssathara.
Alright I'll give ya that.
And Lady Ssathara blatantly states.
"The Legion promises us strength, greater than even Lady Azshara can provide!"
so, she's a traitor.
and we've seen heretics that follow neptulon instead of azshara in the past
it's less of a hivemind than you'd think
just azshara does rule it with an iron first
fist***
I never intended for the society to be an actual hivemind
but more so comparing the actions to that of a hivemind
Azshara being the top queen controls how the workers and soldiers breed and such. Who she puts into her court and who she sends to battle.
i think if azshara actually was upset at their revolt, she wouldve destroyed them
A complete control of the society like that doesn't give much for diversity.
my guess is she either didnt care, or it fit in with her plan
She doesn't care about naga who break off
She knows naga who break off will be annihlated without her.
Yup
EX: we kill a lot of the neptulon / ahune heretics during the fire festival stuff.
She has no reason to worry about them. None of them pose any sort of threat. She was only ever wrong about the Kaldorei-Night Elves.
and we kill the felsurge
hardcore kill them lmao
heck. i'd even wager that naga that view n'zoth as being superior to azshara are heretics
the relationship between the faceless and naga is more like a buisness partnership
i doubt that xanuzar
not like "yes we worship nzoth too"
i mean
culturally
wise
but she isnt nzoth
culturally
naga probably view azshara as superior for the most part
but a view isn't fact.
N'Zoth is the reason for naga, so if they decide to break away from him he can just go zap and have them all crash under the weight of the ocean.
😃
Just a thought.
except he clearly hasnt
lol
we have
multiple naga
that DONT worship him
so that's already false
they're an actual species now fam
the amount of naga that were turned compared to the amount of naga that must be naturally born now is likely a very steep slant towards naturalborn ones
because we literally see that they have clutches of hatchlings
He doesn't need to worry about a few naga, he probably only cares about Azshara and her most powerful subjects
during the goblin starting area
The fact that he hasn't doesn't mean he can't
And considering how Old Gods think and plan way ahead, he might have even foreseen those betrayals and weighted out whether it matters or not to him in the grand scheme of things
And whether they're an actual species now doesn't matter, they're still cursed/whatever
And it can most likely be reverted
honestly mess
Nzoth probably doesn't care
as long as Azshara is loyal to him
that's all he'd care about I wager
That's exactly what I said, yes.
"He doesn't need to worry about a few naga, he probably only cares about Azshara and her most powerful subjects"
All I'm saying is Old Gods are extremely calculating. N'Zoth has definitely taken betrayals into consideration when drawing out his plans, especially considering Naga are not being mentally controlled by him.
And if they are, then those betrayals might not have been true. It would have been him orchestrating them.
I really doubt naga can be uncursed at this point.
Think about it.
If something comes from an egg you expect that to turn back into a night elf???
yeah no
I wouldn't. If the Curse of Flesh can be cured after so long, then this can be, too.
Curse of Flesh is different than literally turning into a reptile.
Are you saying turning stone and metal constructs into actual living beings is nothing in comparison to turning living beings into other living beings? Come on, now.
And the Curse of Flesh being reverted is either done by Odyn himself, the Mogu using Anima, or gnomes submitting to Loken back in Wrath.
Tol'vir didn't need any of those.
The Neferset also were all insane and basically drained Siamat of his power form the process, lmao.
So? The fact that what they did worked is proof enough.
Also, it's still easier to turn something animate into stone than remove curses that still keep something fleshy?
Mogu, AFAIK, didn't cure the Curse of Flesh (I may be wrong). What they used Anima for was turning statues into soldiers. They weren't living, they were still statues.
otherwise we would've been able to cure worgen entirely or something at this point.
no. they did reverse it with anima
no mogu is flesh.
even if it looks like it, the texture is still clearly stonework
hence why their manes look unnatural and not hair like.
I haven't looked into it, tbh, so idk.
But yeah, I'm 99% sure naga can be turned back into elves.
well. sorta. theyre half and half.
At least the original naga.
all mogu at this point used anima to revert back to stone.
and we clearly see the jade witch able to turn living people into stone too
and yea. the original ones
but not anybody born from an egg.
which would be more of the population now
since there's nothing to revert to at that point
Titanic creatures are different.
There is a literal written code to fall back on because they're constructs.
Maybe, maybe not. Still, doesn't matter. Azshara serves him and that's all he needs.
And it could not be a better time for naga to rise against us.
The Legion has been vanquised, which was their greatest threat.
And they barely needed to move a finger. We did all the work.
Their greatest threat is still the titans
You mean the guys that imprisoned themselves to put Sargeras on a leash?
And their keepers
... If they can't corrupt Azeroth, they're fucked.
Ah but that's another thing
Azeroth is literally predicted to be the most powerful titan and the one who can bring ultimate order to the universe.
legion or titans stop em from their mission. Id argue titans are worse for them because of ya know
If they can't corrupt her, the Void loses.
we're allied with the titans
Mhm
Why do you think the Old Gods tried to corrupt Loken, Neltharion, anything connected to the titans?
To make them fail and betray their very purpose.
But apparently Old Gods can't just die? So unless we find a way to completely erase them, they will always be a threat.
It'll be a matter of when.
They can die, its just nearly impossible for us to kill them
We've killed Y'shaarj due to his heart being exausted
We didn't kill Y'Shaarj
Indeed we did.
We destroyed what was left of him, not the same thing
Y'shaarj was killed by the titans if im correct
Yes that is? Y'shaarj is no longer present on Azeroth. Y'shaarj is gone, dead. No longer existing or influencing the planet.
He was ripped out but never killed until garrosh sucked up to much power from the heart.
Y'shaarj had been living this whole time and the Pandaren had been supressing him and the Sha until we arrive.
That is him yes.
No
Yes.
i have to agreed with Mess
Final breath
Garrosh Hellscream later fully restored the Heart of Y'Shaarj using the pools of Pandaria. Fortunately, the whole God was not resurrected.[11] The heart was taken to Orgrimmar, and placed in the Underhold, Garrosh's new seat of power.
After Garrosh's defeat, the Heart has suffered a failure and the Fading Breath briefly remained on the floor of the Underhold, then faded from existence, ending the life, influence and corruption of Y'Shaarj. With every Sha Prime and its heart dead, nothing remains of its power.
there's nothin left of him on Azeroth
he is gone. dead.
He's been dead for a long time, but his heart still emanated dark energy
alright, a part of him was still in azeroth
he still lived through this part.
that doesnt mean he's alive
ending the life of Y'shaarj
ending the influence of y'shaarj
ending the corruption of Y'shaarj
The words are very clear.
thats like a relative saying "Oh He's not dead we chopped of his arm and embalmed it"
Whatever, Vris. Believe what you please.
that doesn't mean that relative still lives though. He can't control anything through that limb
Not gonna waste my time xD
Y'shaarj can
Maybe I should say what I believe 'living' means when we're speaking of the old gods. When I believe an old god is still alive, they can still push their influence, corruption and whispers onto people.
C'thun and Yogg-saron are certainly still alive despite us carving off a piece of them, its even shown as these parts can still exude their corruption as their hearts haven't been destroyed.
For Y'shaarj, there's no actual way for him to push forth anything. He has no further grasp on existence and thus has vanished from it. Death for a simple term of it.
apparently that's not the same as death Xan
Old Gods "live on" as long as part of their body funcitons, Y'shaarj's heart did but y'know.
now we tore that apart, destroyed it
the very last bit of residue faded from existence
etc
it suffered a heart attack after being drained so hard.
yshaarj is so dead its not even funny
like literally blipped out of existence levels of dead
only the sha remain, and their numbers are dwindling
and the sha =/= y'shaarj
they're his creations
Indeedy.
the main sha themselves are also dead, the remnants we see in legion are just generic lingering emotions
The sha were pieces of yshaarj, not their creation
But yeah
Sha are gone or will be
Permanently
just going to hop in here and say that Y'shaarj wasn't really alive in the sense of being able to control anything, but an essence of him was left behind, thus allowing its corruption through the void power to seep into other beings and let their own emotions become empowered by the leftover remains of y'shaarj's power.
He wasn't there with any consciousness
where are you getting that bullshit from?
Yshaarj was an old god
they are conscious
yshaarj was ripped out of the planet
the pieces that fell back became the 7 great sha, and the heart
we destroyed the heart and the sha
now they are gone
the heart of Y'shaarj was just a remanant of the old god, not the old god itself. There was no consciousness to it, it just corrupted through influence, no attainable goal outside of the ones corrupted had themselves
thats not fully true though
the arguement was if y'shaarj was alive or not, around noon
