This isn't a private conversation

meager warren
#

Khamninkappa

tulip sun
#

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

hollow dock
#

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

meager warren
#

Vris gave me an update of what you were talking about, in pms

#

seems clear

frosty matrix
#

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

meager warren
#

^

tulip sun
#

I was not mad about him weighing in.

untold fractal
#

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"

meager warren
#

great way to show it, huh?

hollow dock
#

noones mad here.

uncut vault
#

To quote the wise Locus walker, it is all about perspective.

tulip sun
#

Vris ended the conversation where we practically agreed to disagree.

#

Vris is just playing rn

hollow dock
#

Nah I just told you Im wrong

meager warren
#

"Truth is just a matter of perspective"
"Nothing is true, everything is permitted"

Perspective doesn't mean shit

hollow dock
#

So Im turning over a new leaf. No evil has ever existed in the warcraft universe as no one can ever truly be evil.

tulip sun
#

What porter said is the summary of what I have been trying to say.

hollow dock
#

Gul'dan? just misunderstood.

frosty matrix
#

I think it can be put this way; there is no completely objective evil, but there's an abundance of subjective evil.

hollow dock
#

Lich King? Just a joker.

untold fractal
#

the saracasm so thick it could be sliced with a butter knife

hollow dock
#

I'm not bein sarcastic.

#

Evil just simply doesn't exist.

meager warren
#

slavery may not be evil but it's certainly fucking shitty.

#

as such, Sylvanas is shitty and has done shitty shit

hollow dock
#

but never evil. As no ones evil.

dense plover
#

no vris

meager warren
#

ofc not

dense plover
#

youre being an ass

hollow dock
#

That's what Khamnin said.

dense plover
#

no its not

meager warren
#

peach, it's exactly what they said

dense plover
#

khamnin said evil isnt black and white

hollow dock
#

Theyve told me no ones really evil. Its just perspective.

dense plover
#

which is true

#

it is perspective though

meager warren
#

peach

hollow dock
#

Which is why there is no evil

dense plover
#

you see someone as evil

#

it isnt a fact

#

thats how evil fucking works

#

if you dont like that, too bad

hollow dock
#

They can't be evil because from someone elses perspective

#

they're not evil

dense plover
#

theyre evil from your perspective

#

thats how perspective works

hollow dock
#

nah because from someone elses perspective

#

they aren't

frosty matrix
#

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.

tulip sun
#

^^^^

hollow dock
#

Here lemme show ya what I mean.

frosty matrix
#

That doesn't remove the existence of evil period.

meager warren
#

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.

tulip sun
#

Most characters are not black and white

#

Seb gave a good example for Gul'dan.

hollow dock
#

Yes it does.

tulip sun
#

Hell, that is kinda the theme now. Even the void and light are not black and white

#

They are gray

hollow dock
#

Evil just simply doesn't exist because our perspective dont mean shit

meager warren
#

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.

frosty matrix
#

Vris has gone too far into taking the piss now for rational suggestions to matter cx

meager warren
#

i agree with Vris tbh

frosty matrix
#

Just because the presence of evil is subjective doesn't mean that there is no evil whatsoever

meager warren
#

no, it means evil is a muddy concept and it cannot be objectively defined.
as such, there is no objective evil, whatsoever.

frosty matrix
#

Exactly

#

But that doesn't mean that there's no such thing as evil

hollow dock
#

Exactly

#

evil just doesn't exist

frosty matrix
#

A person can be considered evil or have evil tendencies

meager warren
#

it does mean there's no such thing as evil.
No two definitions are the same

frosty matrix
#

By that definition nothing exists

hollow dock
#

Nothing does exist

untold fractal
#

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.

#

Nihilism is a crock of shit

vague igloo
#

change pirates and marines for horde and alliance

meager warren
#

Nihilism is a crock of shit.
Everything is shit.
That's the entire premise of nihilism.

frosty matrix
#

Nihilism's presence isn't that everything is shit

#

Just that nothing has meaning

meager warren
#

it's that everything is meaningless

frosty matrix
#

And that nothing truly exists

#

It's the philosophical viewpoint of people who are too lazy to find meaning

meager warren
#

"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

frosty matrix
#

How so?

meager warren
#

if i have "meaning" or am "meant" to be or do or whatever, something...
then what's the point of living

frosty matrix
#

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.

meager warren
#

I can be content and not have meaning at the same time

frosty matrix
#

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

untold fractal
#

So about those zandalari trolls.... >.>

meager warren
#

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"

frosty matrix
#

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

@frosty matrix quote for u above

meager warren

topkek

untold fractal
#

im really excited for the island instances

hollow dock
#

theyre just islands with some slightly altered NPCs

meager warren
#

excitement is for plebs

hollow dock
#

I dont see what's so exciting about them

untold fractal
#

they look like good fun

frosty matrix
#

I can't wait to see what some of the other NPC teams are called

hollow dock
#

considering the devs said theyre supposed to be 20-40 mins

#

they do not sound fun

#

at all

frosty matrix

I'm in the camp that reckons that's what the "Jaina's Angels" team that was datamined was from

im excited about the straight forsaken if we get it in the end

frosty matrix
#

I can't figure your stance here; is that too long or too short

hollow dock
#

I mean. Its eitehr that or they're the dudes that jailbreak us

#

to long

meager warren
#

Plot twist: Jaina's Angel's is a guild of WoW devs

hollow dock
#

WAY to long

frosty matrix
#

20 minutes is too long?

hollow dock
#

for a single instance that has 3 of my friends

#

yes

frosty matrix
#

I don't think they're really meant to be a casual thing

hollow dock
#

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.

frosty matrix
#

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

untold fractal
#

they are for three man teams, doesnt sound like something that needs to be planned and prepared for. sounds casual to me

hollow dock
#

^

#

The most we ever really tolerate is like 18-20 mins. For that to be the minimum is not enticing at all.

frosty matrix
#

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?

hollow dock
#

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

frosty matrix
#

You know these CAN be PvP, right?

untold fractal
#

well you can prepare, but since they are randomly generated, yoiu can only plan so much

hollow dock
#

but for PVE, which is the majority of the playerbase

#

and where me and my friends reside

frosty matrix
#

I dunno. To me it doesn't sound like a lot of time.

hollow dock
#

small group content that takes 20-40 minutes

#

which is half of our raid night

#

is a bit on the long side

untold fractal
#

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

frosty matrix
#

It's all conjecture anyway, so we have to wait and see

hollow dock
#

Dont sound fun for raiders like me.

frosty matrix
#

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

untold fractal
#

isnt it all a little bit conjecture at this point

hollow dock
#

Blizzocn

frosty matrix
#

Raiders routinely spend several hours a night, what's your point?

meager warren
#

wait, ur a raider but you can't handle 20 min

#

raids are so long

hollow dock
#

On small group content

untold fractal
#

Raiders are going to raid, casual players will probably enjoy it a lot more

hollow dock
#

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

meager warren
#

even if there's like 25+ people in a single raid, it can take like 15-30 min

frosty matrix
#

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?

hollow dock
#

I'm just saying an opinion based on the information we have.

#

Jesus

untold fractal
#

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

meager warren
#

people sure like attacking others for their opinion here 🤔

hollow dock
#

It doesn't sound enticing

#

that's it

frosty matrix
#

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

hollow dock
#

Alright so the reason I say that

#

as you clearly don't understand where I'm coming from

meager warren
#

Vris is kidding about 80% of the time, but idk about right now

hollow dock
#

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

untold fractal
#

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.

hollow dock
#

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.

frosty matrix
#

I raid, but I'm not a min-maxer, so I guess I don't really care

hollow dock
#

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

frosty matrix
#

I personally view efficiency as being more about simplification over time investment

untold fractal
#

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

hollow dock
#

and that's great. It just doesn't sound all that enticing to me unless there's really good rewards off of it.

frosty matrix
#

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? 😄

untold fractal
#

Wont they have something to do with the Heart of Azeroth we are getting?

hollow dock
#

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.

frosty matrix
#

I think I'm too easy to please in that regard

untold fractal
#

Im pretty easy to please as well.

meager warren
#

sucks for both of u

frosty matrix
#

I'd rather have fun than rank what's "worth" the time

untold fractal
#

hollow dock
#

For us, what's worth the time is fun.

untold fractal
#

What's worth your time Vris?

hollow dock
#

that's why we raid, its worth our time and is fun.

meager warren
#

if you're easy to entertain, you don't know entertainment

frosty matrix
#

You caught me. I'm a fucking worthless scrub who doesn't know art if it bites me in the ass.

hollow dock
#

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.

frosty matrix
#

Enjoying having fun with friends means that you don't know entertainment, guys. Pass it on.

hollow dock
#

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.

frosty matrix
#

I was taking the piss out of Troll cx

meager warren
#

wow, you sure caught me!
i'll let you know when your words affect me

frosty matrix
#

You can't pass judgement on whether people "know entertainment" if someone is easy to please. That's just elitism.

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

meager warren
#

what?

frosty matrix
#

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

meager warren
#

no.
i asked if u were using ad hominem by your addition of "boring" in the sentence

frosty matrix
#

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

meager warren

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?

#

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.

frosty matrix
#

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

subtle flower
#

Ah, really? I didn't know that.

frosty matrix
#

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.

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 vioSHRUG

#

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.

hollow dock
#

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

And 50k+ resources on my main

hollow dock
#

Thats why I said if yoy have the characters to do it

zinc sandal

shrug

vast roost
#

Time to level my DK, my DH, all my allied races.

#

Everything saneinthemembrane

#

Jk, I hardly have time for that with school and also mythic raiding twice a week.

zinc sandal
#

After leveling my Lightforged to 110 I need a break before leveling the other 3 races

zinc sandal
#

Funny how everyone loves the Zandalari druid forms except troll players

hollow dock
#

Always someone that isnt happy with it

terse patrol
#

why would you not want to be a dinosaur tho

hollow dock
#

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

#

Im about to betray my only values so I can transform into a dinosaur

vast roost
#

It's not fair to the other druid races.

hollow dock
#

it really isn

languid yoke
#

give me saberon form back as worgen cat drood thanks

hollow dock
#

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

languid yoke
#

it was best talent

#

and more importantly, it had saberon form.

hollow dock
#

Bloodtalons overpowered it tho

tulip sun
#

I feel like they eventually will

#

Or make it even with custom forms for kul tirans, then leave the rest

languid yoke
#

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

hollow dock
#

They're descendant from Gilneans.

tulip sun
#

They already are in alpha apparently

hollow dock
#

Whom have always had semi-druidism

#

Harvest Witches!

vast roost
#

Kul Tiran druids? ameowwhat

strange falcon
#

vris worgen can be druids only because the worgen form gives them a really close tie with the scythe of elune

hollow dock
#

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.

cloud orbit
#

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.

hollow dock
#

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.

strange falcon
#

human druids tho

#

just the idea feels weird

hollow dock
#

Gilneans were humandruids before going worgen.

strange falcon
#

yeah,but you kinda expect a giant wolf to be a druid design wise

hollow dock
#

I expect humans to be the same.

strange falcon
#

you dont expect a fat human to be a druid

hollow dock
#

I play games like Witcher where Druids are humans.

strange falcon
#

because the witcher doesnt have many friendly races

#

that arent humans elves

#

dwarfs

hollow dock
#

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.

strange falcon
#

not saying that human druid hasnt been done in many other games before

hollow dock
#

or real life

strange falcon
#

just that it feels weird for a fat human

#

to be a druid

hollow dock
#

Kul'tirans aren't just fat humans. theyre skinny, or normal humansfor us.

strange falcon
#

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

hollow dock
#

You can't stop people from making a british dog that shapeshifts into abear, cat or seal ion either.

strange falcon
#

well as i said

#

you kind of expect a british dog

#

to be a druid

hollow dock
#

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.

strange falcon
#

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

hollow dock
#

A human whom is fat, skinny, hulk o whatever is still a human.

#

Like, what about fat rogues?

#

Hunters? Warriors?

strange falcon
#

fat hunters and warriors arent weird

#

fat rogues is the entire reason we dont have tauren rogues

steel venture
#

Pandaren.

sharp bluff
#

That we can see

hollow dock
#

So a fat warrior charing and leaping around with inhuman strength and finese isnt weird

steel venture
#

Strongmen.

#

Strongmen literally are husky, muscular guys.

#

Not bodybuilders.

hollow dock
#

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

steel venture
#

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

hollow dock
#

Alright Ill give ya that

#

But here in the context of WoW

#

Fat druida are weird but fat warriors arent

steel venture
#

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

strange falcon
#

yeah but pandaren have paws

#

they dont make sound when walking

steel venture
#

...... 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

strange falcon
#

i dont even want to get on the argument

steel venture
#

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.

dense plover
#

The most interesting thing is kul titans might get druids

#

Which in a way isn’t impossible considering they are descended from gilneans

steel venture
#

yea! which would be really cool actually

dense plover
#

Yes it would

steel venture
#

and gilneans can shapeshift. despite the arguments against it

dense plover
#

Human druids

steel venture
#

genn said that kaldorei shapeshifting reminded him of harvest witches

#

during his short story

dense plover
#

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

strange falcon
#

imagine a giant parrot

#

as flight form

steel venture
#

... or yknow
a kestrel falcon

#

like we're getting on kul tiras

#

like we're getting a BUNCH of predatory birds on kul tiras

strange falcon
#

or a horse for travel form lul

steel venture
#

a wild horse as a form actually would be fucking scary. i don't see your point

dense plover
#

I think something more different would be cool considering zandalari get a pterrodax

steel venture
#

have you ever seen how mustangs are? they're horrifying when untamed

dense plover
#

Horse form would be cool

steel venture
#

a wild mustang would kill you.

dense plover
#

Can’t imagine a bear or cat form

steel venture
#

there are bears on kul tiras, but idk if it'll be the form

dense plover
#

They could always go with visuals inspired by the runic wood stuff in drustvar

steel venture
#

..................... yknow the REAL kicker would be if ... this gives us a wolf form though.

dense plover
#

Use that wolf thing as a basis for cat form

#

That wood spirit thing

steel venture
#

there's no big cats from what we can see on kul tiras

strange falcon
#

wolf form for cat form HMMMMMMMMMMMM

steel venture
#

and, hey. you could play up the monster-hunting theme with that

dense plover
#

We still don’t know the zandalari cat form

#

I imagine they are going to stick with reptiles

steel venture
#

harvest witches / warlocks turning into wolves?

#

no wonder they're getting hunted down

shy elbow
#

Big BFA SPOILER INCOMING BE READY!!!

steel venture
#

in short

shy elbow
#

We gonna get new gear and transmog

#

OMG

dense plover
#

Thanks for your helpful info

#

I’m so glad you came to contribute

steel venture
#

it would be a REALLY good idea to use a wolf tbh to explain the mistrust lol

dense plover
#

I mean

#

Hex magic is enough to cause mistrust

steel venture
#

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

dense plover
#

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

hollow dock
#

Albatross flight form

steel venture
#

differing stigma on why it's different

dense plover
#

Hell, Catherine proudmoore is almost definitely a powerful mage

#

Considering Jaina

steel venture
#

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."

dense plover
#

Yes

strange falcon
#

Eye of azshara bird flight form

dense plover
#

I’m excited to see the sirens in person

#

Hear their sont

#

Songs

strange falcon
#

the white bird i forgot the name omegalul

steel venture
#

lmao seagulls?

#

...... i hope sirens are another new naga breed

#

pls blizz

#

#MakeNagaWEIRD.

dense plover
#

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

steel venture
#

they have updated the naga lord models

#

aka the shelled ones

#

so, they're probably going to work on more variants

dense plover
#

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

strange falcon
#

yeah nagas are pretty sexist

dense plover
#

Not sexist

#

Just unspecified

strange falcon
#

well all warriors are male

#

all sorcerers are female

hollow dock
#

Male naga do cast spells. they just also hapen

#

to hit things hard

dense plover
#

They are a somewhat undetailed group - there are very few different types in game

#

They need to diversify them

hollow dock
#

They really dont imo

dense plover
#

Especially if there is going to be a naga raid

strange falcon
#

but do they hit it very hard?

dense plover
#

How do you do a naga raid and not have them all look the same as the normal npc models?

hollow dock
#

uh

#

ToS?

dense plover
#

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?

hollow dock
#

they did it with legion because there is AN ENTIRE LEGION WITH DIFFERENT SPECIES OF DEMONS

dense plover
#

That were different form the rest of the raids theme?

hollow dock
#

naga are 1 race. 1 species.

dense plover
#

naga are one race created by an old god

#

If azshara has tentacles, why can’t other naga?

hollow dock
#

Because Queen of the Hive mentality

#

why aren't all Zerg sexy human girls like Kerrigan?

dense plover
#

but it’s not a hive mind

hollow dock
#

That's the hierarchy.

dense plover
#

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

hollow dock
#

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.

dense plover
#

Have you seen the aqir?

#

One species

hollow dock
#

No one has

dense plover
#

Tons of diversity

hollow dock
#

No one knows what an Aqir looks like

dense plover
#

Yes we have

hollow dock
#

we only know they evolved into the seperate bug races we see today

dense plover
#

Oh sorry

steel venture
#

did somebody say male spellcaster naga?
//casually looks at own icon

dense plover
#

Meant the qiraji

hollow dock
#

Which have all adapted, eveolved and changed

#

based on the needs of the hive

steel venture
#

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.)

hollow dock
#

There's nothing to fix. Female naga are the brains, the smarts, the beauty.

dense plover
#

Only azshara is able to take on her elven form

hollow dock
#

That we know of

dense plover
#

We’ve never seen another do this

steel venture
#

im not talking about an elven form

hollow dock
#

For all we know

steel venture
#

i'm talking about elven appearance
as in not snake-faced

hollow dock
#

it was just an illusion spell

dense plover
#

Yes

#

But we have only seen her do itt

hollow dock
#

Which no other naga would have a need to do.

#

Azshara does because she's VAIN AS FUCK

dense plover
#

Also males can be smart too

steel venture
#

yea most other naga at this point are naturalborn naga

#

so its pointless for them to disguise as an elf

#

because they never were

dense plover
#

There are males who order other Naga around

#

Vashjir

hollow dock
#

Taskmasters

#

the brawl to the brains

dense plover
#

Yeah

hollow dock
#

brawn

#

rather

dense plover
#

The equivalent to the lady X nagas

#

Eh I guess

steel venture
#

there's .. male spellcasters. there's literally male hydromancers in vashjir too

dense plover
#

They have brain too though

#

Yeah and hydromancers

hollow dock
#

There is

#

Which again, I dont see hte need to diversify them other than purely the sake of diversification.

dense plover
#

The issue is just the lack of visual diversity

hollow dock
#

Which I always think is dumb

dense plover
#

There are two different female naga models

hollow dock
#

We handled an expac of nothing but snow

#

We can handle an expac of fish

dense plover
#

That’s it

steel venture
#

honestly though i would want monsterous female naga and like, elven male naga

#

pls

dense plover
#

Yeah just mix it up a little

#

Give us some weird naga variants

hollow dock
#

you're saying not a little

#

you're wanting on the level the Legion had

dense plover
#

God no

steel venture
#

lmao no?

dense plover
#

That was just an example of how you diversify something that was same-y before

hollow dock
#

You had argued that Legion had

#

despite the burning legion always having diversity in it

steel venture
#

they're already updating and redoing other old god minions. so why not just a few more types of naga

hollow dock
#

since BC

#

they just further expanded on it

dense plover
#

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

hollow dock
#

More efficient than drill hand men

dense plover
#

But they were a totally different visual motif

steel venture
#

yeah mo'arg always have had several types tho

dense plover
#

I liked the idea of a legion mechanic

steel venture
#

the little engineers and felguards are the same species

dense plover
#

And that kind of disappeared in legion

hollow dock
#

that's always been present just reimagined

#

???

dense plover
#

Visually it disappeared

steel venture
#

the mo'arg engies still showed up

#

rarely, but they did

dense plover
#

They had a cool model that could’ve done with an update

#

But they didn’t

hollow dock
#

The little goblins running around? The eredar mostly taking over that? Mo'arg are still running around for tech.

dense plover
#

No

#

I just mean the old and new model aren’t similar

steel venture
#

the ones from BC that usually built and manned the fel canons, Vris.

hollow dock
#

Yes different art style

dense plover
#

They look like two different things

steel venture
#

and the larger engineers that had robotics built into them and had large drill hands

dense plover
#

All the other old demon updates just look like updates

strange falcon
#

basically the entirety of hellfire peninsula vris

dense plover
#

But the moarg were essentially forgotten

#

At least their engineer form was

steel venture
#

two types of mo'arg were forgotten*

hollow dock
#

ah alright. the little engineer dudes.

steel venture
#

yeah
the melee ones were updated, redone, and even given a new brutish one that towered over the others

hollow dock
#

I always saw it more as they got rotated out in favor of better looking demons

steel venture
#

probably.
the wyrmtonge seem to have taken the place of the smallest mo'arg

#

wrymtongue**

hollow dock
#

Which is what I thought of.

dense plover
#

Those guys

steel venture
#

those ones though

hollow dock
#

Yes peach I know what you're talkin about

steel venture
#

i would've wanted that updated

dense plover
#

Yeah

steel venture
#

that one was bigger and fuckin horrifying

dense plover
#

Exactly

hollow dock
#

I never saw the need

dense plover
#

It was what I thought of when they updated legion

#

And they just ditched them as a concept

hollow dock
#

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

steel venture
#

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

hollow dock
#

Sea witches have the snake hair?

dense plover
#

Yeah

steel venture
#

ya. and usually more arms + more arcane ability

hollow dock
#

What are the naga lords? The ones with the shells all over em and are just armored?

zinc sandal
#

Those are cool

dense plover
#

You have the two types of females

steel venture
#

ye the shelled ones are naga lords

#

and those just recently got a BFA update

hollow dock
#

I saw the Sea Witches as former handmaidens

dense plover
#

Multiples arms with the webbing back thing and then the same but snake hair

hollow dock
#

to Azshara

#

the Naga lords as former generals of Azshara

steel venture
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

hollow dock
#

Hence the more special models.

dense plover
#

Yeah but what if azshara has been working on other models

#

Some type of new army

steel venture
#

that is a VERY tiny amount of special forces then if they were

hollow dock
#

In which if Azshara is controlling them like that

dense plover
#

Specifically made to defeat us

steel venture
#

because you gotta realize the population has to be HUGE now

hollow dock
#

it makes much moresense for the underlings to NOT be diversified

dense plover
#

Sure

#

But what if the upper army is different

steel venture
#

and we've seen many, many sea witches that don't really make sense to ALL have been in azshara's court

hollow dock
#

An elite guard maybe

dense plover
#

Maybe a type of guard that shoots crossbows

#

And so they have armor playing

#

Plating

hollow dock
#

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

steel venture
#

hell mistress sassz'ine even makes snarky commentary about azshara

#

which ... if she was favored in her court

#

she wouldn't do

hollow dock
#

You really dont know court politics then

steel venture
#

when the naga empire is a dictatorship you don't.

hollow dock
#

People get themselves into court for power.

steel venture
#

:T

hollow dock
#

I certainly would

#

especially if I decided to break away from her

steel venture
#

except
she didn't?

hollow dock
#

Sasszine was with the Legion

steel venture
#

mistress sassz'ine isn't legion

#

LMAO WHAT NO?

#

dude have you even done that fight???

zinc sandal
#

She’s not Mistress Sass for nothing yknow

steel venture
#

she's after the tidestone for AZSHARA

hollow dock
#

So Azshara was allowing her to let naga get fel corrupted?

steel venture
#

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

uncut vault
#

Not all naga serve Azshara.

steel venture
#

on behalf of azshara

#

they're run by different matiarchs

hollow dock
#

Which is what I thought Sass was doing. Going to the Legion as shown with the naga outside.

steel venture
#

mistress sassz'ine is the matiarch of the forces inside of the tombs and is loyal to azshara

uncut vault
#

She’s got nothing to do with the naga outside

steel venture
#

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

hollow dock
#

also where are her snarky remarks for Azshara?

#

Im not finding them on Wowpedia.

uncut vault
#

As their example

steel venture
#

It's her comment about Harjatan's death.

uncut vault
#

Explicitly used the ones outside the temple too

steel venture
#

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

hollow dock
#

"Mistress Sassz'ine yells: Useless beast! Why the queen was fond of him I'll never know!" that's not snarky towards Azshara

steel venture
#

except it is? lmao
like "seriously why did you pick this idiot"

zinc sandal
#

Nope

hollow dock
#

That's frustration and confusion over a love towards something that clearly is stupid

zinc sandal
#

Not towards Azshara, but towards Harjatan

hollow dock
#

Cuz during her fight she doesn't exhibit any of the same 'snark' you say this line gives

zinc sandal
#

She wasn't pointing out Azshara's incompetence, but Harjatan's

steel venture
#

okay though
regardless
Mistress Sassz'ine's forces are lead by her.
The fel-taitned naga outside are lead by Lady Ssathara.

hollow dock
#

Alright I'll give ya that.

steel venture
#

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***

hollow dock
#

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.

dense plover
#

i think if azshara actually was upset at their revolt, she wouldve destroyed them

hollow dock
#

A complete control of the society like that doesn't give much for diversity.

dense plover
#

my guess is she either didnt care, or it fit in with her plan

hollow dock
#

She doesn't care about naga who break off

steel venture
#

She knows naga who break off will be annihlated without her.

hollow dock
#

Yup

steel venture
#

EX: we kill a lot of the neptulon / ahune heretics during the fire festival stuff.

hollow dock
#

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.

steel venture
#

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

hollow dock
#

Azshara is the Light of Lights

#

you dont get much higher than that

steel venture
#

the relationship between the faceless and naga is more like a buisness partnership

dense plover
#

i doubt that xanuzar

steel venture
#

not like "yes we worship nzoth too"

dense plover
#

azshara is definitely under nzoth

#

she is the most powerful caster on the planet

steel venture
#

i mean
culturally
wise

dense plover
#

but she isnt nzoth

steel venture
#

culturally

#

naga probably view azshara as superior for the most part

#

but a view isn't fact.

zinc sandal
#

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.

steel venture
#

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

zinc sandal
#

He doesn't need to worry about a few naga, he probably only cares about Azshara and her most powerful subjects

steel venture
#

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

hollow dock
#

honestly mess

#

Nzoth probably doesn't care

#

as long as Azshara is loyal to him

#

that's all he'd care about I wager

zinc sandal
#

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.

steel venture
#

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

zinc sandal
#

I wouldn't. If the Curse of Flesh can be cured after so long, then this can be, too.

steel venture
#

Curse of Flesh is different than literally turning into a reptile.

zinc sandal
#

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.

steel venture
#

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.

zinc sandal
#

Tol'vir didn't need any of those.

steel venture
#

The Neferset also were all insane and basically drained Siamat of his power form the process, lmao.

zinc sandal
#

So? The fact that what they did worked is proof enough.

steel venture
#

Also, it's still easier to turn something animate into stone than remove curses that still keep something fleshy?

zinc sandal
#

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.

steel venture
#

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.

zinc sandal
#

I haven't looked into it, tbh, so idk.

#

But yeah, I'm 99% sure naga can be turned back into elves.

hollow dock
#

well. sorta. theyre half and half.

zinc sandal
#

At least the original naga.

steel venture
#

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.

zinc sandal
#

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.

hollow dock
#

Their greatest threat is still the titans

zinc sandal
#

You mean the guys that imprisoned themselves to put Sargeras on a leash?

hollow dock
#

And their keepers

steel venture
#

... If they can't corrupt Azeroth, they're fucked.

zinc sandal
#

Ah but that's another thing

steel venture
#

Azeroth is literally predicted to be the most powerful titan and the one who can bring ultimate order to the universe.

hollow dock
#

legion or titans stop em from their mission. Id argue titans are worse for them because of ya know

steel venture
#

If they can't corrupt her, the Void loses.

hollow dock
#

we're allied with the titans

zinc sandal
#

Mhm

steel venture
#

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.

zinc sandal
#

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.

hollow dock
#

They can die, its just nearly impossible for us to kill them

#

We've killed Y'shaarj due to his heart being exausted

zinc sandal
#

We didn't kill Y'Shaarj

hollow dock
#

Indeed we did.

zinc sandal
#

We destroyed what was left of him, not the same thing

cursive blaze
#

Y'shaarj was killed by the titans if im correct

hollow dock
#

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.

zinc sandal
#

Except he wasn't

#

His heart was

hollow dock
#

That is him yes.

zinc sandal
#

No

hollow dock
#

Yes.

zinc sandal
#

That's his heart

#

I'm not my heart

cursive blaze
#

i have to agreed with Mess

hollow dock
#

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.

zinc sandal
#

He's been dead for a long time, but his heart still emanated dark energy

cursive blaze
#

alright, a part of him was still in azeroth

zinc sandal
#

^

#

Part of him, not him

hollow dock
#

he still lived through this part.

cursive blaze
#

that doesnt mean he's alive

hollow dock
#

ending the life of Y'shaarj

#

ending the influence of y'shaarj

#

ending the corruption of Y'shaarj

#

The words are very clear.

cursive blaze
#

thats like a relative saying "Oh He's not dead we chopped of his arm and embalmed it"

zinc sandal
#

Whatever, Vris. Believe what you please.

hollow dock
#

that doesn't mean that relative still lives though. He can't control anything through that limb

zinc sandal
#

Not gonna waste my time xD

hollow dock
#

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.

steel venture
#

.. Y'shaarj is dead dead.

#

He literally doesn't exist anymore.

#

Period.

hollow dock
#

apparently that's not the same as death Xan

steel venture
#

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

hollow dock
#

it suffered a heart attack after being drained so hard.

steel venture
#

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

hollow dock
#

Indeedy.

uncut vault
#

the main sha themselves are also dead, the remnants we see in legion are just generic lingering emotions

dense plover
#

The sha were pieces of yshaarj, not their creation

#

But yeah

#

Sha are gone or will be

#

Permanently

vague sparrow
#

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

dense plover
#

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

vague sparrow
#

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

dense plover
#

thats not fully true though

vague sparrow
#

the arguement was if y'shaarj was alive or not, around noon

dense plover
#

yshaarj has VO

#

the power of the heart could pass on the voice

#

we dont know if old gods actually need brains
