well defeated usually means killed in war

meager warren
#

Talk to sas about that

stoic vortex
#

@elder otter

meager warren
#

anyway,back to thetopic at hand

#

@jade basalt is teaching other races to be DH/ DK do-able?

elder otter
#

Random ping received. Someone care to summarize or do I need to actually read through everything?

stoic vortex
#

Read through the stuff about Kek and Bur voice emotes till now

olive mirage
#

its not simply teaching, demon hunters have to consume a demon soul to actually become a demon hunter

stoic vortex
#

And?

meager warren
#

yes it is

#

teach them to consume demon sousl

#

ez

wild moss
#

DH maybe, DK no i don't think so.

meager warren
#

okay well

#

have the lich king kill people and bring them back

#

also ez

wild moss
#

i mean....no not that easy but ok sure.

meager warren
#

you're saying the lich king can't do that?

stoic vortex
#

Val'kyr DHs when?

#

:3

wild moss
#

i'm not saying the lich king can't, i'm saying why would the lich king do it for us

meager warren
#

because, more fodder?

stoic vortex
#

He'd do it for himself. EZ

meager warren
#

^

#

he didn't raise any of the DKs for them

olive mirage
#

WotLK 2: electric boogaloo

meager warren
#

being a DK is a curse

wild moss
#

Why would the lich king, the current lich king, want to raise more DKs.

meager warren
#

because after all the current ones rot away, what's the point of him

#

he has a job

#

he's got to do it

wild moss
#

Why would the current ones 'rot away'?

meager warren
#

they're literal zombies?

stoic vortex
#

@elder otter so you going to tell me about Kek and Bur emotes?

meager warren
#

i mean

#

that's kinda a stupid question tbh

olive mirage
#

arnt they basically immortal due to the curse of undeath or w/e

elder otter
#

What am I supposed to tell you about them?

meager warren
#

no

#

they just take a long time to die

stoic vortex
#

I asked about Kek and Bur emotes, and was told to ask you about them, Sas

meager warren
#

i told Lilith to ask you if they want them to be added to wowhead server

elder otter
#

Ah, I see. Unfortunately I'd have to delete existing ones to add anymore, there's a limit. Also, I don't have a "kek" or "bur" emoji to add anyhow.

meager warren
#

oh rip :(

stoic vortex
#

Oh hey we have emotes

olive mirage
#

death knights are immortal

#

possibly...

#

im not even sure anymore rooShrug

stoic vortex
#

We don't actually know how long a DK lifespan is

olive mirage
#

"All that I am: anger, cruelty, vengeance - I bestow upon you, my chosen knight. I have granted you immortality so that you may herald in a new, dark age for the Scourge."
—The Lich King's first words to a new death knight.

meager warren
#

The Lich King telling us that we're immortal doesn't mean shit

olive mirage
#

thats why im not sure

meager warren
#

he could have been lying

#

also, they're quite obviously not immortal either.
they can still die a true death

olive mirage
#

well they are most likely immune to death from age/disease

stoic vortex
#

Impervious =/= immortal

meager warren
#

impervious? wot

stoic vortex
#

Immortal means immune to age/disease

olive mirage
#

which they are

meager warren
#

but are they immune to rot

stoic vortex
#

Impervious means Achilles

meager warren
#

Achilles?

#

what

stoic vortex
#

Greek myth. Read up on him.

meager warren
#

i know who he is

#

guy who was invincible except for his heel

olive mirage
#

achilles, he had only one weakness, his heel

meager warren
#

he was still vulnerable in his heel though so not really totally invulnerable

stoic vortex
#

Invincible people can die of old age or disease

olive mirage
#

well im pretty sure a dead person cant die of old age

stoic vortex
#

You have to be immortal AND invincible to be impervious.

meager warren
#

my claim was that Death Knights can rot, not that they can age

stoic vortex
#

Rotting would be the undead form of aging

meager warren
#

eh

#

i guess

stoic vortex
#

Seeing as DKs are "immortal" they can't rot

olive mirage
#

pretty sure the scourge would stop a corpse rotting

stoic vortex
#

^

olive mirage
#

cause then the armies wouldnt last that long

meager warren
#

If they're constantly moving, it takes more time to rot but idk either tbh

#

i could be wrong

#

however

#

being undead is a curse.
they still feel pain, can still bleed and die

stoic vortex
#

FDKs would never rot because cold, UDKs would never rot because necromancy, BDKs would never rot because vampirism

meager warren
stoic vortex
#

Posting a long since retconned item proves what?

meager warren
#

nothing.
however, DKs have been stagnating just as long and didn't get any new content until legion

#

so we don't know about the side effects of reanimation nowadays

olive mirage
#

there was a GM playing as a vulpera PogChamp

stoic vortex
#

As I said before, DKs can reverse rotting anyhow.

meager warren
#

care to share a source?

stoic vortex
#

don't need to, the nature of their specs reveals all.

meager warren
#

...not really, no

stoic vortex
#

Frost DKs would be below 0C in temp

#

Therefore impossible to rot

#

UDKs are expert necromancers

#

therefore capable of preventing rot

meager warren
#

what does them being expert necromancers imply?

stoic vortex
#

BDKs are literal vampires

meager warren
#

they can bring things back

#

they can't keep things alive

stoic vortex
#

*they can prevent undead things from rotting

#

Look at the meat wagons.

meager warren
#

so, they can't prevent themselves from rotting?

stoic vortex
#

Where did I say anything of the sort?

meager warren
#

?

#

can*

stoic vortex
#

Better.

#

And yes.

meager warren
#

i'm not sure what you're referring to the meatwagons for

stoic vortex
#

Don't you remember the whole Kel'thuzad in a meat wagon thing in WC3?

olive mirage
#

so i saw someones argument on why they dont want vulpera to be an allied race

meager warren
olive mirage
#

"And being a playable race would mean they'd need a faction leader that is somewhat relevant"

#

cries in mekkatorque

meager warren
#

"recently"

stoic vortex
#

Mekkatorque was literally present at Broken Shore

#

He's even in the cinematic

#

That qualifies as somewhat relevant

meager warren
#

yes but aside from that, he's not given any screentime in legion whatsoever

stoic vortex
#

He probably repaired the Skyfire before Genn and Rogers got it shot down

meager warren
#

if he did, he's probably going to be reluctant to repair any ships from now on

stoic vortex
#

That he is

meager warren
stoic vortex
#

Or he blames Genn and Rogers for being stupid AF

meager warren
#

well, he's got a reason to

stoic vortex
#

^

olive mirage
#

mekkatorque has just

#

existed

#

thats all he does

#

hes just there

terse patrol
#

wish they’d do something with him

#

when tinker becomes a class, he'll be relevant

#

tbh as much as I hate to say it, Blizzard take Gnomes as a joke sadly xD

jade basalt
#

@meager warren The Illidari actually do train new demon hunters during the order campaign. Regarding "other races" there's no reason only elves could go through the training. And yes other races can become death knights as well, not just the playable ones. In WoD you have a pandaren death knight follower, Gravewalker Gie, and in Northrend there were even vrykul death knights. The only "problem" is from a gameplay standpoint since the starting zone is set in the past, so you can't have Lightforged death knights for example since they only showed up years later, and same for DH since their starting zone takes place during TBC. Unless you revamp the starting zone of course.

inb4 bolvar lich king expac 2.0 gives all allied races dks

uncut vault
#

I mean I kinda wish they'd revamp DK starting zone and level stuff, either make them a higher hero class, or make them start at 20 so races that make sense can be DKs

tulip sun
#

All races except lightforged and void elves I think make sense. The Death Knights raised many new DKs from fallen soldiers on the broken shore.

#

Lightforged obviously wouldn't have gotten to Azeroth until after the Legion was defeated

#

and Void Elves were not a thing.

#

Zandalari could be DKs, Dark Iron could. Kul'tirans I imagine, they were found on the shores

#

Mag'har wouldn't make sense, being AU and all

uncut vault
#

I think you forgot nightborne lol

hollow dock
#

Its not about lore tho.

#

Like. Lorewise -anyone- canbe anything. It's the logitistcs behind it

tulip sun
#

Ya, nightborne lol

#

They can be dks too

#

Vris, not DKs. They are not always raising new soldiers, and some races were not around when they were in legion

#

Highmountain also could be dks

#

fow da howde

tulip sun
#

Ha. That is cool

I like that theyre actually modeling armor around the allied race, instead of around a human skeleton

I cant stop thinking about rexar, lol

I hope you know it only takes a powerful lich to make DKs

anyone for any reason can become a DK fi ya write it.

We are talking about archerus drsth knights

And you fought with me earlier about this even being possible

#

Idd. Cuz no deathknights we make from here on out will be the same deathknights that made us in WoTLK. Cuz that was arthas. Different source for different DKs.

Does anyone know why lightForged Draeni were not at the battle for Lorderaon?

I would of thought Turalyon would of been there

uncut vault
#

plot didnt demand them

strange falcon
#

they didnt find any place to park the vindicaar

#

that's the real reason

dense plover
#

maybe theyre defending home because the burning of teldrassil scared the draenei?

#

maybe they dont believe in retaliation?

hollow dock
#

or maybe blizzard just isnt using them

dense plover
#

tbh, they havent given a reason

hollow dock
#

which makes a lot more sense.

dense plover
#

they might not have one

i hope they do

hollow dock

I mean if your leader pledges the service of the army of the light. To the alliance. You'd think they'd show up when their allies are attacked and slaughtered.

#

Some new titan facility names in the magni quest

#

my bet is one of them is n'zoths

jade basalt
#

And the other could be at the heart of the planet, for the world-soul. Kind of like Antorus. Since the other one is called "Uldorus".

#

If that wasn't meant to be just a funny reference to Antorus of course.

#

I wonder where Uld, Uld, Uld, and Uld are situated though

#

I noticed it's also missing the most important facility, Ulduld.

hollow dock
#

These are all Facilities right? They'd all be here on Azeroth then.

rich apex
#

🤔

jade basalt
#

I was kidding, I doubt there are 4 different facilities called Uld. It's just the Watcher bugging.

hollow dock
#

Uldorus and Uldazi.

#

And at least 1 other unknown facility that follows the same nameculture.

jade basalt
#

They also forgot Uldis.

#

You could argue it's not really a facility on par with the others.

#

Ahn'Qiraj too is missing.

hollow dock
#

Was AQ named AQ by the titans or the bugs that inhabit it?

jade basalt
#

It's got a bit of a confusing name, but it was actually named Ahn'Qiraj by the titan-forged yes.

#

Which is presumably why the Aqir that settled there (and evolved) would later be named the Qiraji.

hollow dock
#

So AQ is a facility that did not obey this supposed name culture of the other facilities but it's not listed on the facilities that have containment breaches.

jade basalt
#

Yeah. Presumably the watcher didn't have time to finish to list all the facilities, since it's bugging on "Uld.. Uld.. Uld.."

hollow dock
#

So Ahn'qiraji is the whole thing with Keepr Ra and the hive of Qiraji. What if its an offline facility and wouldn't be listed?

jade basalt
#

What do you mean by offline ?

uncut vault
#

not online, duh

hollow dock
#

As in, we wiped out Ra and we destroyed the facility did we not? Back in Vanilla?

#

Maybe not destroyed the facility, but there's certainly no one to check in with the rest of the facilities.

jade basalt
#

Ra was introduced (and "defeated", didn't kill him, he leaves at the end) in MoP

hollow dock
#

Oh wait thats right

#

Ra is Ra-den

jade basalt
#

The titan facilities can be monitored from afar, from Ulduar which is the "main" one

#

Ya

hollow dock
#

I was thinkign of Osiris

jade basalt
#

Ossirian ?

hollow dock
#

yes. it's been a while since I've looked at AQ

jade basalt
#

All good. Ossirian isn't actually a Keeper or even a Watcher, he's an anubisath that had surgery was "blessed" by the Emperors , and as a result got a hawk head, for some reason.

hollow dock
#

Ah OK. Well there goes that theory.

jade basalt
#

I guess it is a bit confusing retro-actively if you didn't know that since Cata then introduced Rahj, a guy that looks quite like Ossirian because of the hawk head and all but who's actually a Watcher

hollow dock
#

jeez that's confusing. Well I still have to think that AQ is considerd an 'offline' facility as we dont actually see much in the ways of titan architecture that's everywhere else. Possibly overgrown by the Silithid hive that was built around C'thun.

gaunt helm
#

@everyone Anything new Coming to PTR?

hollow dock
#

No

#

the PTR isn't getting updated until July

gaunt helm
#

whats july gonna have?

hollow dock
#

Possibly prepatch at some point.

#

This is currently the beta/alpha chat as that's the current spot of the game

gaunt helm
#

is it hard to get alpha?

hollow dock
#

it's random

gaunt helm
#

Did u now that Ghuun is a old god?

hollow dock
#

G'huun is confirmed to not be an old god.

#

He is a titan experiment to study the old gods and was sealed away.

gaunt helm
#

But we do fight him in BFA

#

as a last boss

hollow dock
#

Not a confirmed last boss. But he is a boss.

gaunt helm
#

Us fighting titans is kinda weird but cool

#

I loved the ending of Argus scene

strange falcon
#

@hollow dock he IS the last boss of uldir,if that's what you meant

distant folio
#

Ghuun is an Old God. He was created as the result of titan experiments on the Old Gods yes, but thats not exclusive with the fact that he is an Old God, thats mentioned all throughout Nazmir.

#

The titans basically created an Old God by accident

hollow dock
#

Except for the fact that the devs have stated he's not an old god, he is a titan experiment. He is no where on the same level as C'thun, Yogg or N'zoth.

#

An artificial old god, but very much a shadow of the real thing.

#

the reason people do call him an old god in game is because well. It acts very similarly to one, but it very much isn't one. Most of the world hasn't seen what the players have and so wouldn't make the distinction that we are able to make between them. They know old gods are blobs of flesh that control peoples minds and this thing is a blob of flesh that's controlling peoples minds so it must be an old god.

meager warren
#

@hollow dock, wdym by "logistics" when we're talking about other races being death knight or demon hunter? And for that matter, other classes

distant folio
#

Except for the fact that the devs have stated he's not an old god, he is a titan experiment.
No, what the devs said was that he was created as the result of titan experiments. They didnt say he was not an Old God. Hopefully you understand that Muffinus saying "G'Huun is the result of a titan experiment" and literally everybody in the game (including Titan Keepers, so not just your random goblin or troll making assumptions, but actual Titan constructs who have been watching over and studying him for millenia) saying "G'Huun is an Old God" are not mutually exclusive, right ? He can be both a failed experiment and an Old God. The Titans messed up and created G'Huun, another Old God. Its very simple. He's not on the same level as the other Old Gods either, no, but that doesn't make him not an Old God.

#

The titans just created a (weaker than the other 4) Old God by inadvertence, and locked it up in Uldir.

hollow dock
#

I only remember those outside of Uldir referring to G'huun as an old god, which are the random trolls or goblins, and the Titan keepers referring to him as an experiment. @jade basalt Any insight on this?

jade basalt
#

Ya the watchers call him an Old God as well, Keeper Hezrel is supposed to reveal it to you in a cutscene
PLACEHOLDER SCENE - Hezrel reveals G'huun being an old god, being experimented upon, and reveals blood trolls want to destroy Zuldazar in order to free G'huun. No way of fixing current containment, must protect Zuldazar.

#

I would prefer if he wasn't called an Old God but I don't really mind if that's what they go with, he's not really on the same level on the others so it's less awkward if adventurers kill him

#

Plus apparently we use a re-origination device to blast his face multiple times so

hollow dock
#

Oh that's interesting.

#

So wait the Temple of Re-origination wasn't the only weapon capable of destroying Azeroth?

jade basalt
#

It is, but the devs took a liking to the word so you find re-origination [something] a bit everywhere now, for example in the Argus fight there are "Re-origination Modules" and against G'Huun there's a "Reorigination Drive" which you charge up by placing Power Matrices in it and that triggers a Reorigination Blast to be unleashed on G'Huun

#

It doesn't actually re-originate crap, they just like the term. It does increase the damage he receives by a certain % for a few seconds.

hollow dock
#

re-origination is fun to say

meager warren
#

vris

hollow dock
#

when I speak of the logistics behind something, I am speaking of the behind the scenes stuff. Programming, setting it up, if it makes sense for the society to accept it, etc.

meager warren
#

i think making allied races hero classes would be a cake-walk for them in terms of programming.
Wdym by setting it up?
What society?

hollow dock
#

The races society.

uncut vault
#

Reprogramming entire classes to be dozens of levels lower would not be a cakewalk

hollow dock
#

and never assume programming is easy. It never is.

#

May I point you to our base bags. Adding 4 slots back in pandaria broke the game. It took em years to get it right.

meager warren
#

no need to make the classes lower leveled.
Just do the texture changes on their models, maybe make the horns bigger on trolls, add horns above the ears, add new tattoos and skin changes, make it fit lore, etc

Not like they didn't fix it and realized their mistake either way or anything

hollow dock
#

at that point they've put more work than an allied race actually needs/gets. Hence why it's better for them to just not do it.

distant folio
#

"Just do the texture changes on their models, maybe make the horns bigger on trolls, add horns above the ears, add new tattoos and skin changes, make it fit lore, etc"

#

I don't think thats the "cake walk" you mentioned

meager warren
#

Every race in the game can be Death Knights but allied races. 🤔
And if they're not going to work on allied races,then they're not getting enough work done on them.

hollow dock
#

and pandaren

meager warren
#

it's definitely a cake walk

distant folio
#

that is not a cake walk

meager warren
#

yes it is

hollow dock
#

The only reason Goblins and Worgen got it was because of one reason and one reason only. WoW was a lot easier to edit and alter.

distant folio
#

"Just do the texture changes on their models, maybe make the horns bigger on trolls, add horns above the ears, add new tattoos and skin changes, make it fit lore, etc"

uncut vault
#

They won’t do it the other way because dk allied races would have a clear advantage over other classes for leveling

distant folio
#

that does not sound like a cake walk

#

you're asking them to redo entire races

#

models*

hollow dock
#

which is again more work than allied races actually get

distant folio
#

yeah

meager warren
#

compared to the work done in BfA, Legion, and WoD, that is definitely more than a cake walk

distant folio
#

wrong

hollow dock
#

All the work they've done in Legion, WoD and BFA is the culmination of years of constantly working on it

meager warren
#

and why not?
every other race got it so it kinda seems stupid not to give it to them

distant folio
#

no other allied race got as much work as what you're asking for

hollow dock
#

Again not every race. p

misty blaze
#

i wonder what the pathfinder critieria is gonna be in bfa this time round

hollow dock
#

Pandaren still don't have the capability of being player DKs.

meager warren
#

every race except pandaren

river dirge
#

Blizz already explained that for now the DK starting experience is tied to a specific point in time in WotLK, so chances are that unless Bolvar makes a move and starts a new generation of DKs we won't be seeing many new races having access to DKs.

meager warren
#

same thing

distant folio
#

arent you talking about demon hunters?

#

"add horns above the ears, add new tattoos and skin changes"

#

sounds like demon hunter

meager warren
#

yes

misty blaze
#

watch them make pathfindcer level every allied race toi level 110 or something

hollow dock
#

And the only reason for that is because Goblins and Worgen got the in at cataclysm

#

close enough to WotLK to actually get legacy carried into DKs.

distant folio
#

yeah, so no. no other allied race got as much work as what you're asking for. demon hunters are actually (and ironically) more complexe than (some) allied races.

hollow dock
#

Not to mention Goblin and worgen are full races

distant folio
#

specially since they also need entirely new animations, wings, etc.

meager warren
#

obviously no allied race got as much work as that

hollow dock
#

not allied races. Allied races get a massivly less amount of work

meager warren
#

that's because no allied race can be hero classes

hollow dock
#

that's the point of allied races.

distant folio
#

except you said "compared to the work done in BfA, Legion, and WoD, that is definitely more than a cake walk" but then "obviously no allied race got as much work as that"

#

its not a cake walk.

river dirge
#

Also the fact that they had to juggle the lore to make Worgen DKs a possibility, for example.

meager warren
#

smh

hollow dock
#

It's not jus tbecause allied races don't get hero classes that they get less work on them, they get less work on them because they're just allied races.

river dirge
#

Pretty much. The way I see it, Allied Races are just... mini races, so to speak.

jade basalt
#

Demon hunters are sort of allied races of their own, which I always found funny. They're really more than a class, they're basically a (allied) race. They have custom voice overs and voice lines, tailored animations, and customization, and by "customization" I actually mean "literally twice as much customization options as any allied race has".

river dirge
#

The thing is...

#

Why would anyone train more Demon Hunters now?

hollow dock
#

theyre basically the closest we'll have to playable demons tbh.

#

Why do people keep making Deathknights Koko?

jade basalt
#

Same reason we train death knights

hollow dock
#

Because the powers of said class are very much worth it.

jade basalt
#

We have playable night elves, nighter elves, blood elves, void elves, and fel elves. It's just that the latter also count as a class at the same time.

hollow dock
#

Demons still exist. The Burning Legion has basically disbanded, but demons are still an issue.

meager warren
#

and because demons will always exist

jade basalt
#

I think it's actually because they look pretty cool.

#

Who wouldn't want these tattoos

river dirge
#

But we're talking about a class that mingles with demonic energies, is very vulnerable to corruption, is taboo to at least one of the factions, and with a training that only... 1 in 5? actually survive.

hollow dock
#

Warlocks exist

meager warren
#

^

hollow dock
#

they've been doing it arguably for longer

jade basalt
#

You might argue that following the Legion's invasion would've also increased the amount of people willing to go through the "training", imagine having just lost your entire family to demons.

meager warren
#

^

river dirge
#

Of course, but the general idea is that the Burning Crusade is over.

#

Even if there's still demons.

hollow dock
#

Demon Hunters exist to protect Azeroth from demons. Just like the Ebon Blade exists to protect from the Scourge.

meager warren
#

you'd be surprised the lengths people would go when they want something, Koko

jade basalt
#

The Legion's invasion would also have made more people more familiar with the demons and their magic, which means more people taking up their power for themselves

hollow dock
#

Just because it disbands or is no longer a threat doesn't mean the organization disbands.

meager warren
#

^

hollow dock
#

As such, The Silver Hand is staying around. We revived that.

jade basalt
#

But really it's because the tattoos look cool.

river dirge
#

@meager warren, why would a large number of a race go through the process of becoming acquainted with the path of the Demon Hunter to justify its addition as a class choice, when we're just in the post-war triumphant moment of cheering about the end of the Burning Crusade?

hollow dock
#

That's why no other races are actually getting hte player class option Koko

#

that and the whole logistics of the starting area

meager warren
#

because they're always going to exist and wars are still going to happen

river dirge
#

Idk, assuming the sheer price there is to pay in becoming a demon hunter, this is arguably the worst point in history to argue for the creation of more demon hunters, the way I see it.

hollow dock
#

There are groups willing to do it.

#

Power, looks, the fact that they can.

If we're talking within the context of "its addition as a class choice", I think agree. I'm not sure (m)any race will get demon hunter in the future. Even beyond the lore or gameplay or technical reasons, it'd just have to look cool. Devs do things that look/are cool. A pandaren demon hunter just doesn't feel right.

hollow dock
#

Whether or not these are large enough to excuse say

#

humans getting it

#

that's on the table for discussion.

river dirge
#

Of course, but I'd consider those folks would be an exceptional minority.

hollow dock
#

Exactly. and that's what the Devs do touch upon.

meager warren
#

tbh, the DHs thing is they'll do anything to save Azeroth.
Whether that be from demons or not is irrelevant

river dirge
#

Also, fundamentally for me the issue lies with the fact that Demon Hunters are very elven, part of their essence is the fact that they're a part of elven culture. I feel that widening the race spectrum for the class beats the point of the class fantasy for me.

hollow dock
#

IMO I've never felt they are specific for elves.

#

Just they were the first DHs.

meager warren
#

the class fantasy is fucking elven?
ha no

hollow dock
#

Then again this might be because I have been exposed to communities of the RP variety that have made their own DHs from run-a-way ex-illidari that taught them.

river dirge
#

idk, I'd find it hard to believe that a majority of people wouldn't associate "Demon Hunter" with "elf".

meager warren
#

tons of people don't play Demon Hunters because they're elf

#

the only thing about DH that is elven is they're illidari

hollow dock
#

Id say its harder to find people who can't associate it with Illidan. Him being an elf, as far as I've always felt, was irrelevant.

river dirge
#

If only because the classic portrayal of a Demon Hunter is part of Night Elf culture.

#

(Coming from WC3)

hollow dock
#

I dont know where you've seen that they're a part of Night Elven Culture

meager warren
#

we're not in classic anymore tho are we?

hollow dock
#

because Illidan is the only one and all night elves hated him

meager warren
#

^

river dirge
#

Yes, but in their inception they were a night elf "hero".

hollow dock
#

Well yea because Illidan was a 'hero' for the game itself. But that's where mechanics aren't really reflective of the lore itself.

#

As Illidan had been the only DH and been locked away and hated for it

uncut vault
#

The wc3/vanilla demon hunters were also shunned from society, and created a ritual based loosely off of Illidan. Definitely weren’t liked by night elven society but wc3 was a time of peril situation

meager warren
#

and anything in wc3 isn't relevant anymore since it happened 10+ years ago and it's been heavily retconned since

river dirge
#

That's right. They were outcasts, and arguably they're still not something that either faction has accepted with open arms to begin with in Legion.

meager warren
#

o rly?
not like they become champions of both factions or anything

hollow dock
#

But no where in there does that indicate its apart of the culture of Night Elves. That's where my confusion comes from. Where you had gotten that indication.

river dirge
#

And still all they have to show for it is a little camp in the capitals of the factions and being specifically called allies in this particular conflict.

hollow dock
#

Which they've only gotten because of the Legion Invasions across azeroth and their 'acceptance' in a time of dire need.

river dirge
#

Exactly.

uncut vault
#

Warcraft 3 demon hunter lore is still canon in legion so

hollow dock
#

Like we're not denying that it's a stretch and even agree with you Koko that the other races most likely are -not- getting DHs.

#

Edgy just like to complain for stuff he can't get.

meager warren
#

that's all?
they also have to show that their leader sacrificed himself to save the world, their soldiers helped kill Argus himself, and thus paved the way for the titans capturing Sargeras.

But no, apparently that's all irrelevant and all they have is a camp

hollow dock
#

You know Illidan didn't sacrifice garbage

meager warren
#

he gave himself to the titans

hollow dock
#

Just to escape our judgement

meager warren
#

he's literally Sargeras'sjailer

hollow dock
#

and you know that

meager warren
#

no i don't

river dirge
#

Sacrifice in a conflict you wanted to be a part of doesn't instantly make your faction a part of the greater factions.

meager warren
#

it does actually

river dirge
#

No it doesn't.

meager warren
#

yes it does

hollow dock
#

The Illidari are their own faction Edgy

river dirge
#

Politics do that.

hollow dock
#

but the Illidari aren't apart of teh Horde or Alliance

meager warren
#

but they're also a part of the Horde and Alliance

river dirge
#

^

#

No they're not.

hollow dock
#

their DHs, which are the PCs, will -leave- the Illidari

river dirge
#

They're allied with the factions.

hollow dock
#

and join their respective factions

river dirge
#

Not part of them.

hollow dock
#

like we do with the Ebon Blade as DKs

#

and Silver Hand with Paladins

#

so on so forth

meager warren
#

are the death knights not part of the Horde/ Alliance then?
Are the Paladins?
Monks?

hollow dock
#

They are

meager warren
#

literally every hero class

hollow dock
#

but the EBON BLADe

#

isnt

#

the EBON BLADE is not all deathknights

#

the EBON BLADE is the faction of death knights

meager warren
#

well then how are the DH not

hollow dock
#

Just like the ILLIDARI are a faction of Demon Hunters

river dirge
#

Not the same. Read the quest text for the DH starting experience and you'll see that at least for the Alliance they're never included in it.

hollow dock
#

The ILLIDARI are not apart of the HOrde or Alliance

#

even though their members are

river dirge
#

The thing is that the vast majority of demon hunters are Illidari. Of course you can play a DH in RP that is not an Illidari.

hollow dock
#

and the PC Demon Hunters are apart of the Illidari, but they are also apart of the Horde and Alliance

meager warren
#

even in RP though, it'll never be a DH in-game

#

well fine, i meant the PCDH

hollow dock
#

same thing for the PC Deathknights

river dirge
#

Yes, by virtue of their race maybe they're part of it. Or maybe not since they joined a new faction: the Illidari.

hollow dock
#

While they are apart of the Ebon Blade, they are also in the Alliance and Horde. There's even induction quests specifically for us.

#

We represent the Ebon Blade/Illidari's interests within the respective factions

#

but that does not in any case make the Ebon Blade or Illidari apart of the Horde or Alliance.

river dirge
#

Agreed, but the thing is that to my knowledge the Illidari never officially became part of the factions because they never advanced from their exceptional alliance forged from dire need.

hollow dock
#

It is yet to be seen if the Illidari will be treated like the Ebon Blade but I think we can safely assume that a similar deal is struck

#

as Maeiv has not sealed us all back up in the vault

river dirge
#

I'm leaning for that option myself since of course they're not going to delete the DH characters.

#

But... well, we don't know how they'll go about it.

hollow dock
#

Personally I thinkthat because of the PC DHs work in the Legion campaign they will be rewarded their freedom and have eyes kept closely on them

river dirge
#

idk, I'd love the possibility of having say the NE DHs be pretty much controlled by the Sentinels/Wardens, with their other option being returning to their imprisonment. I think that'd be interesting.

#

But that's -very- unlikely.

hollow dock
#

in lore anything goes

#

but we're talking stricktly the gameplay so I think it'll be something like that.

river dirge
#

Knowing Blizzard I'm not even counting on that. Chances are we just get some obscure quote explaining that this agreement already happened and DHs are essentially pardoned or something.

#

But I really would love for something interesting to happen rather than "you earned this place now, you're free".

hollow dock
#

yea but its gameplay man. They're not going to write out a full interesting subplot taht'll get ignored

river dirge
#

A man can dream.

meager warren
#

maybe in TBC3.0, we'll get DHs of other races

jovial coral
#

Nah TBC can't happen again, again

hollow dock
#

Dont tell blizzard they can't do it

#

cuz they'll do it

#

to spite you

meager warren
#

Legion was TBC 2.0

rich apex
#

muffled Bolvar-Scourge expansion looming in the background

#

And BFA is faction war and Old Gods

#

Much like Cata

#

🤔

zinc cave
#

WotLK 2.0 FTW!

quick quail
#

Mop was faction war with old gods

hollow dock
#

wait

#

wasn't WoD TBC 2.0?

#

So wouldn't that make Legion TBC 3.0?

tropic trail
#

Legion was wrath 2.0, illidan pulls a bolvar at the end.

#

jeez guys

hollow dock
#

I thought Legion was cata 2.0

#

Isn't BFA Vanilla 5.0?

tropic trail
#

Nah BfA is if the south sea expansion rumors had a baby with MoP, and then they defurred all the pandas and called them human.

hollow dock
#

So

#

it's TBC 6.0

tropic trail
#

Sup everyone

distant folio
#

someone who has done or watched the Stormwind scenario from BFA

#

was rescuing Talanji and Zul the goal from the start, or did the Horde come for Saurfang (but he said no, and they left with the trolls instead)?

sharp bluff
#

Probably Suarfang, Trolls just kinda happened i think, but I do not know since I am not in the alpha

hollow dock
#

They did not come for Saurfang as far as I am aware

#

the Trolls were the objective. Saurfang was on the side.

sharp bluff
#

realy? did they know suarfang was captured?

dense plover
#

maybe?

#

they didnt care though

#

they go to get zul and talanji

#

Saurfang ignored the orders of Sylvanas, and she is warchief

#

she doesnt care to save him

sharp bluff
#

Well I mean that part makes sense, all the past warchiefs have a history of being betrayed

dense plover
#

he didnt betray her

#

he ignored her

distant folio
#

@hollow dock wait so the Trolls were the objective from the start? how come, did they know each other?

sharp bluff
#

look at what happened last time someone ignored her, she died for a few minutes

hollow dock
#

Zul is the worlds representative of the Zandalari

#

the Horde wants the Zandalari

#

The horde is unaware of Zul's abuse of his power nor the status of Zandalar. So it's a pretty easy thing to muck up.

rich apex
#

The goal was to rescue Zul and the princess

#

I just did the quest earlier

#

Everyone refers to 'the prisoners'

#

plural

#

And Saurfang literally goes 'the people you are looking for are down the hall'

distant folio
#

So Saurfang wasnt even the goal

dense plover
#

nope

hollow dock
#

Not at all

#

He disobeyed a direct order of the Warchief

rich apex
#

I would think Saurfang was presumed dead

dense plover
#

its possible

#

but i doubt it

hollow dock
#

Considering the Hordes oath

rich apex
#

Given Sylvie goes 'have fun dying, loser'

hollow dock
#

that's basically a death sentence

rich apex
#

But the Undercity scenario is missing a -lot- of context without any of the cutscenes

dense plover
#

yep

sharp bluff
#

so its 50/50 probably they knew/did not know

dense plover
#

yes

#

but either way, they didnt go for him

rich apex
#

Maybe a bit more, but yeah

distant folio
#

Thanks everyone

meager warren
#

i'm honestly surprised that the Horde cares more for Sylvanas than Saurfang

#

wtf

#

Baine, where are you

hollow dock
#

Do you not know the horde mantra?

meager warren
#

Lok'tar Ogar?

hollow dock
#

it's much more than that.

meager warren
#

in that case no

hollow dock
#

Lok'tar ogar! Victory or death - it is these words that bind me to the Horde. For they are the most sacred and fundamental of truths to any warrior of the Horde. I give my flesh and blood freely to the Warchief. I am the instrument of my Warchief's desire. I am a weapon of my Warchief's command. From this moment until the end of days I live and die - FOR THE HORDE!

The blood oath of the horde.

meager warren
#

Wasn't it Saurfang who said that though

hollow dock
#

All members of the horde take that oath when they join.

meager warren
#

I don't remember taking any oath upon making new characters, or even Pandaren

dense plover
#

pandaren fight in the arena

tulip sun
#

^^^

dense plover
#

all the other races joined the horde prior to wow

tulip sun
#

You see the taunka saying it

dense plover
#

^^^^

tulip sun
#

I love that oath

meager warren
#

what arena

sharp bluff
#

Two zugs enter, one zug leaves

tulip sun
#

The arena uh, near where Ji sets up camp

#

Garrosh forces us to battle in it

#

To prove ourselves

tulip sun
#

It has not been used recently, most likely depending on warchief

#

But it is still valid

meager warren
#

oh. the brawl'gar arena?

tulip sun
#

Yya, i think

meager warren
#

the place where Garrosh cheated in Mak'gora against Cairne?

tulip sun
#

Ya

meager warren
#

👌

tropic trail
#

garry didn't cheat, he had no clue his axe was poisoned

hollow dock
#

Garry was used&

#

Literally the only time hes innocent

tulip sun
#

If they had the cinematic capabilities they have now....that battle would be grest

#

Would have been great

tropic trail
#

The garrosh v thrall battle was awesome

hollow dock
#

yea where thrall cheated.

tropic trail
#

would've loved to see cairne thrashing him, until he got poisoned

hollow dock
#

it was great seeing him cheat in full HD CGI.

tulip sun
#

Ya, it was lol

meager warren
#

they can always re-do the fight-scene with anotherAU

hollow dock
#

AU azeroth with no horde on it when

meager warren
#

but this time, make Cairne the winner

hollow dock
#

cuz the legion isn't invading them for the third war anytime soon

#

since we broke them apart

#

and theres only 1 legion

#

So I wanna see that azeroth now

meager warren
#

can't have the alliance with no horde

hollow dock
#

alliance of human kingdoms formed before the horde.

meager warren
#

well yes but they were always fightingbefore the horde.
the horde brought them together

#

as ironic as that is

tropic trail
#

wouldn't AU azeroth have fallen during the war of the ancients since broxigar would've never shown up?

#

since the orcs never went to azeroth

#

in the AU timeline

meager warren
#

someone should write a fanfic with AU Azeroth

#

Vris, i electyou

tropic trail
#

alternate timelines are weird

hollow dock
#

Even without Brox, the WotA would have been won as it was the Demon Soul, later named Dragon Soul, that ensured the victory.

tulip sun
#

-really wants playable taunka-

rich burrow
#

that would be a weird azeroth without NE, orcs or tauren, many races that exist now... until we show up and are like, "ery, there is a whole nother continent." And then they would be, "wow, minds blown." lol

meager warren
#

-really wants playable everything-

#

NE, Orcs, and Tauren would still exist on AU Azeroth tho

tropic trail
#

watch, if blizzard ever gives us playable high elves, they're gonna be AU azeroth high elves or something

hollow dock
#

I wouldn't mind

#

Have Anastaerian come back

#

slap the shit out of Lor'themar

#

for betraying his own people

meager warren
#

maybe AU Azeroth is one in which the Horde and Alliance got through their shit and become friends?

hollow dock
#

AU Azeroth never had the horde invade

meager warren
#

another AU Azeroth then

rich burrow
#

Orcs and Forsaken no.

tropic trail
#

I'd assume sargeras would've still infested medivh, wonder what he chose to do instead

hollow dock
#

here's the issue with that green

#

theres only 1 sargeras

#

so the moment we seal him in the seat, when he's out of the nether, all other universes with him kinda falls flat

tropic trail
#

true, but medivh/aegwynn would've been corrupted by the time of WoD on AU azeroth

#

There only being 1 legion was a dumb plot point

hollow dock
#

In all fairness, in the Chronicles, it does state that Aegwynn was never actually corrupted by Sargeras. It was her own violition that she did all that she did. Medivh was still corrupted.

meager warren
#

AU means Alternate Universe.
Alternate as in different rules, characters, and stories

hollow dock
#

they dont have to be wildly different

#

AU Grom and our Grom are essentially the same Grom

meager warren
#

but yeah, there only being one Sargeras/ Legion is stupid

hollow dock
#

just 1 lost his wife early and the other didn't

meager warren
#

So in other words, they were wildly different

tropic trail
#

thought the biggest difference was Garrosh not being born. And an entire island missing of course

hollow dock
#

Oh that island is there

#

we just never went

#

like Tel'abim

meager warren
#

whatisland?

hollow dock
#

it canoncailly exists

#

but we jus tnever go there

tropic trail
#

The island that becomes netherstorm

#

can't think of its name off the top of my head

hollow dock
#

If I recall right it was the place the Ogres came from

tropic trail
#

I thought that was where a bunch of draenei lived

#

isn't the ogre continent teased on the draenor would map to the south?

sharp bluff
#

SW is the ogre "Island" plenty of loose lore in WoD about it

tropic trail
#

that large land mass in the southwest is smaller on the current map, but it's still there

#

isn't that the ogre land?

sharp bluff
#

Ogre place is the greyed out landmass in the SW, yes

meager warren
#

Spires ofArak is missing in outland

hollow dock
#

Spires of Arak had halfway fallen out.

#

Talador mixed with Spires made Terrokar Forest

#

That island to the Northeast is Farahlon which apparently was rumored to be a time spliced zone. The south was ogre lands.

meager warren
#

Frosfire Ridge isalso missing in Outland. 🤔

hollow dock
#

it's almost like the landmass that is Draenor was breaking apart or something

#

and half of it has just gone missing

rich burrow
#

from what i can tell it looks like spires became terrokar forest shadowmoon valley is still shadowmoon valley, nagrand stayed relatively the same, gorgrond became Bladespire mountains, tanaan became hellfire, and that north easter island is the netherstorm region which means Frostfire Ridge was obliterated pretty much

hollow dock
#

Half of Spires broke off of the world. It's borders getting re-written to be half ofTalador to become Terrorkar while most of nagrand falls out and the other half of Talador becomes nagrand

#

oh and the ocean between Nagrand and Frostfire becomes ZAangarmarsh as the seas withdraw

rich burrow
#

pretty much lols forgot zangarmarsh lols

tropic trail
#

so what's the difference between garry recruiting the draenorcs to take over the world, and sylvanas recruiting them to?

tulip sun
#

She is not doing it to take over the world?

tropic trail
#

isn't she?

#

what's the point of this faction war then?

tulip sun
#

You apparently dont pay attention

tropic trail
#

I must have missed the part where they decided to stop fighting now that each faction has its own continent

meager warren
#

she's doibg it to raise more forsaken. that's the whole point of who she is.

winged heron
#

Ugh I hate that direction of her character

rich apex
#

She's crippling the Alliance so they don't threaten the Horde

#

(in theory)

tulip sun
#

The reasoning she at least says

#

Is to drive the alliance from kalimdor do the horde is safer

winged heron
#

They are beating the shit up each other because someone burned down teldtassil

rich apex
#

That too

#

Depending on what exactly happened at Teldrassil

tulip sun
#

Lets be fair, she has reasons

winged heron
#

It’s a Misunderstanding

rich apex
#

It's not like Sylvie is expecting someone like Genn to just leave her in peace

tulip sun
#

The devs already said we wont know exactly who does it

winged heron
#

She was more unique and compelling before she went all predictably genocidal

tulip sun
#

I wouldnt say she is genocidal tbh

winged heron
#

Lol

rich apex
#

There's a boatload of context

#

That isn't in the alpha yet

#

So

winged heron
#

Sorry I’m just salty

rich apex
#

Remember The Golden Rule

meager warren
#

we're all salty here

rich apex
tulip sun
#

Goldie link

rich apex
#

Like we haven't seen 100% of the FIRST act

#

Much less the third

tulip sun
#

As a horde player

winged heron
#

Ahaha ha okie😢

tulip sun
#

I am satisfied woth what they are doing

#

I honestly dont particularly like what saurfang is deciding to do

winged heron
#

I just want All Hallows in Brill bavk

rich apex
#

Yeah uh

#

That much is unlikely

winged heron
#

I’m intrigued by what’s going on for sure

#

Less green projectile would be appreciated

meager warren
#

wdym u don't like what saurfang's trying to do?
why not?

winged heron
#

That makes a lot of sense

tulip sun
#

I will explain later.

#

Watching show

rich apex
#

TFW Undercity is pretty much Theramore 2.0 but garrosh did nuffing wrong

#

(unless you're Alliance, anyways)

meager warren
#

Garrosh did everything wrong.
And that'scoming from a Horde player

rich apex
#

Oh for sure he did

#

But half of the horde purists still whine about him because he's a REAL ORC

#

and not some thot being mean to poor, defenseless saurfang

#

🤔

meager warren
#

i don't seeSylvanas as a thot tbh.
maybe a hag

rich apex
#

You're not a whining neckbeard wanking to Garrosh, so

#

Good on you

#

👍

sharp bluff
#

She prefers banshee 😆

rich apex
#

There -is- a good conflict between Saurfang's 'honor or death' and Sylvie 'there is no honor in death if that death abandons your people'

#

But

#

Everyone reduces it to Saurfang is good and Sylvie is Evil

#

Of course, Sylvie -is- Not Nice

#

100%

tulip sun
#

Ya, but she is not completely evil. Despite what people think....she is doing what she can for her people

#

Saurfang would rather die in battle, which would kill off the horde quickly

meager warren
#

good

#

they deserve it

tulip sun
#

And sylvanas straight up tells him to screw off lol

rich apex
#

The thing about the scenario is

#

ALL of the cutscenes are missing

meager warren
#

we need a Horde 3.0

rich apex
#

Which is where 80% of the story is happening

tulip sun
#

True

rich apex
#

And the dialogue

#

But yeah

#

Original point was that Garrosh lures the Alliance forces into Theramore and uses the mana nuke

#

Sylvie lures the Alliance army into Undercity and blights it

tulip sun
#

But even the tauren realize that, sure, the blight is bad, but it is the only way to win the battle- save horde lives. Putting their own men infront of the enemies. That is the bad thing about war, but without yhe blight a lot more horde would have died

#

And sylvanas uses it as they are invading her city..which is a large difference

rich apex
#

Bonus points that Saurfang and the PCs are specifically ordered to evacuate the civilians before she blights everything

#

You know, for someone who doesn't care about anyone but herself

#

🤔

tropic trail
#

why are they still developing blight that kills undead?

rich apex
#

Side eyes Bolvar

sharp bluff
#

^

tropic trail
#

fair enough

#

and i suppose the alliance DKs

rich apex
#

Or all the DKs, after Koltira 😛

meager warren
#

but she doesn't care about anyone but herself

#

she's Arthas/ Nerzhul 2.0

sharp bluff
#

🤷 it is a (un)living

rich apex
#

Why is she bothering to lead the Horde at all if she doesn't care

#

Not in an empathetic, nice sense

#

But something probably mildly obsessive and unhealthy

#

Because that's undeath for you

meager warren
#

power?
influence?
Wealth?

rich apex
#

What does any of that matter to the undead

meager warren
#

what does any ofthat matter to the living

rich apex
#

Bonus points that the novel prologue specifically notes she doesn't even want to or like being warchief

#

Which is before everything goes down in BFA, of course, but still

#

Being rich and alive is a pretty nice combo

#

Given various pleasures that go hand in hand with that

sharp bluff
#

Undead feel no pleasure, so not those

meager warren
#

Undead can feel painthough

tropic trail
#

Tell that to Moonguard..

#

undead don't frequent goldshire very often

meager warren
#

?

tropic trail
#

I assume they were talking about the rampant erp on moonguard and about how undead don't feel pleasure

#

but most of the erp on moonguard happens in goldshire

#

and undead aren't allowed there

mint arch
#

sylvanas, while evil, is not dumb... she knows success of the horde = success of the undead = more undead from the war = she is further awy from death

#

its all she cares about

tropic trail
#

I don't think thats true tho, she sacrificed a valkyr just for nathanos, basically giving him one of her 1ups

#

she does still care for people

mint arch
#

cause she "loves" nathanos

tropic trail
#

just not in such a touchy feely way

#

Yeah, but would she do the same to any other undead?

mint arch
#

she does care for her ppl

#

of course she does

#

cause her ppl = her death

tropic trail
#

like, if she had to choose between her life and all the other forsakens, I think she'd sacrifice herself

mint arch
#

i disagree there

tropic trail
#

Unlikely.

meager warren
#

^

mint arch
#

she would sacrifice the forsaken before herself, every time

meager warren
#

^

mint arch
#

her new goal after wrath = don't die

#

its her only real goal and care

#

not to die

#

and she will do w/e she possibly can to not die

tropic trail
#

I'm not so sure

mint arch
#

ends justifying her means

tropic trail
#

but we'll have to wait for BfA to see

mint arch
#

she has not shown she cares for the forsaken to the level that she would sacrifice herself

#

her goal in stormheim was for herself, not her ppl

meager warren
#

i bet if that choice comes to pass, blizz is actually going tosacrifice the forsaken for her

tropic trail
#

Well, when Sylvanas kermit'd she realized what death was really like after the fact so she's been trying to keep herself alive ever since

mint arch
#

by getting more undead, she stays alive

#

das it for her

winged heron
#

The problem is
She is now creating “her people” so she will have more justification to use questionable means to protect/raise more of “her people”, which had been just those who died under the Scourge in the beginning. And the banshee queen was sympathetic because she provided unity and shelter for those corpses

mint arch
#

imo, what she saw in her death was old god stuff

tropic trail
#

what's the point of her keeping the forsaken alive now tho? she has the whole rest of the horde to use as a shield

#

but she's still trying to save the forsaken

mint arch
#

dude

#

forsaken keeps her from death

tropic trail
#

Because the forsaken are more disposable

mint arch
#

she cant use the rest of horde like she can undead

tropic trail
#

One can die and she can easily raise 6 more

mint arch
#

its why she wanted more valkyr

#

and she went ahead made a deal with helya and tried to enslave Eir

winged heron
#

But wouldn’t those she kills to raise just resent her

tropic trail
#

Not quite.

mint arch
#

they may resent her, but they don't have a choice once ur undead

winged heron
#

I thought the whole point of the forsaken is that they finally have free will

tropic trail
#

Forsaken don't entirely have a mind of their own, hence mentioning the death knights.

mint arch
#

its questionable to say they have complete free will

#

there is some free will, but i doubt it's absolute

tropic trail
#

They have "Free will" but not free will, if that makes sensr

winged heron
#

Then she’s just like arthas then :/

mint arch
#

she is the lich queen

#

only thing, she is horde

#

das it

winged heron
#

sigh

tropic trail
#

Mhm. Though not on the same scale as he was

mint arch
#

true

#

lower scale

#

but this war, she's getting there

#

-_-

winged heron
#

Ofc not but the same where it matters

#

I just wish blizzard didn’t make her this way

tropic trail
#

Either way, #SaurfangForWarchief

mint arch
#

blizzard should never have made her warchief

tropic trail
#

literally no one else they could have made warchief

mint arch
#

disagree

tropic trail
#

I think Saurfang would've been a better warchief if he would've been used in MoP

#

except saurfang

#

who doesn't want warchief

winged heron
#

I loved leveling up as a undead and finding solidarity with fellow undead a following our cool lady

mint arch
#

imo, she shouldve been made a general of the horde against the legion

tropic trail
#

That's where you're wrong Green.

mint arch
#

and then warchief matter settled after legion

tropic trail
#

It never states he never wanted it.

sudden oak
#

in the cannon rn the forsaken do have full free will but those that are risen just before dying or that died under a lot of stress enter in a kind of blood lust haze

tropic trail
#

Thrall never gave it to him because it was right after his son died, so he thought he wouldn't be able to handle it

mint arch
#

well, sylvanas doesnt want the warchief mantle either

meager warren
#

In the Forsaken storyline, they have free will but apparently that's different now

winged heron
#

The question should be directed to the loa that spoke to zuljin

#

Yes edgy I hate that retcon

mint arch
#

i mean, we know there is old god meddling with this whole thing

tropic trail
#

Supposedly.

#

we do?

mint arch
#

its an old god expansion, there is meddling going on on both sides

#

this whole AvH shit is just for the start

winged heron
#

Ahh the whole crazy bitch ultimately under influencence plot

mint arch
#

and promo

tropic trail
#

No it's not.

sudden oak
#

edgy do you mean the questlines in silverpine and the plaguelands?

tropic trail
#

thought you meant with voljins vision

mint arch
#

imo, voljin's vision was.... i dunno

winged heron
#

Summon him to Explain

mint arch
#

well, we'll probably get to talk to him and ask this xpac

tropic trail
#

^^

mint arch
#

voljin's ashes, the new warchief!

sudden oak
#

@EdgyTroll#9235 are you talking about the questlines in silverpine and plaguelands?

#

wtf

#

why cant I tag him

winged heron
#

I still don’t want sappy boi to die

sudden oak
#

@meager warren

winged heron
#

Zappy

mint arch
#

did he leave server?

sudden oak
#

now

mint arch
#

ah

sudden oak
#

no just discord being retard

mint arch
#

ya

#

same

meager warren
#

i'm talking about both

mint arch
#

zappy new troll leader

meager warren
#

the only way you're going to get rid of me is if the mods ban me

tropic trail
#

I can't wait for the expansion to where we become king/warchief.

#

Edgy.

mint arch
#

wow's final xpac

tropic trail
#

I'm sure that could be arranged.

mint arch
#

we become the new titans

sudden oak
#

as I said the forsaken risen in silverpine and the plaguelands questline where resurrected as soon as they died

#

and they were in a blood lust haze

#

therefore not giving a shit about anything

mint arch
#

hmm, raising undead is another whole can of worms

tropic trail
#

In their case, a skull of worms.

winged heron
#

LET ME DIE IN PEACE

sudden oak
#

as soon as the blood lust haze is gone they have 100% free will

mint arch
#

sylvanas wants a forsaken horde basically

#

lul

winged heron
#

“Hi there welcome to the skeleton war”

tropic trail
#

Garrosh wanted an orcish horde.

mint arch
#

the skelly wars

#

just get baine on the warchief role pls

#

baine and anduin

#

two young

tropic trail
#

The Great Emu war

mint arch
#

baine and anduin, both will grow into the roles, its a nice parallel

tropic trail
#

I feel like Baine would be a decent chieftain

winged heron
#

Sylvie can just sit and raise more undead it’s not like we are in shortage of dead people in azeroth

meager warren
#

if our PCs had actual choice, i'd raise hell for the Horde and Sylvanas until she kills me for betraying her

winged heron
#

Baine gets overlooked by the writers
Most of the time now it feels like he’s just there along for the ride

mint arch
#

its dumb... our PCs have to go along with w/e sylvanas is demanding -_-

meager warren
#

"The dead always outnumber the living."

winged heron
#

And then the soil will become malnourished :/

mint arch
#

honestly, come join the void people! our lord and saviour nzoth will accept you all! :D

meager warren
#

Baine agrees with Saurfang, according to the pre- Wound in the World cinematic

mint arch
#

we dont care for the stupid squabblings of the alliance and horde!

winged heron
#

What it all comes down to is that they should make the whole raising dead mechanic clearer

meager warren
#

Void Elvesare in Alliance tho

tropic trail
#

I feel like we need more neutral races

meager warren
#

^

winged heron
#

Yes

mint arch
#

that would be nice

#

THIRD FACTION PLS

#

or hell, some races just be neutral

tropic trail
#

Nightborne and/or Void elves would've been a decent choice

mint arch
#

^

#

i agree

meager warren
wild moss
#

If everyone is dead it doesn't matter if the soil is malnurished

winged heron
#

I want the wardens to leave nelves and be like a rogue navy seals

mint arch
#

honestly neutral races needs to happen at some point

#

only so much forced AvH

#

we can have

#

-_-

wild moss
#

Truth.

mint arch
#

then the pandaren can go to what they should've been, neutral

winged heron
#

Yes I get they want the nostalgia but at this point wow story is just miring itself

meager warren
#

The neutral faction should be called the Shado Pan

mint arch
#

#saurfang'svoiceforwarchief

meager warren
#

would have been nice if Saurfang challenged Sylvanas to Mak'gora instead

#

of being emo

tulip sun
#

In the middle of a battle? Lol

meager warren
#

yes

#

it's not really Mak'gora if you're safe

#

That reminds me

#

Mak'gora 2.0: Whoever dies first is the loser but in battle against other people

tropic trail
#

There needs to be a male vulpera dressed like robin somewhere

#

solely because they share a voice actor

ruby prawn
#

They can't participate in mak'gora because Sylvanas is dead already

#

I don't think she is legal anymore

#

Do undead ever get tired?

#

Undead don't get tired so it's not fair for Saurfang

hollow dock
#

Undead do not tire, they do not require food, water, rest. Anything. They dont even properly feel pain like we would since most of the nerves are rotten out.

#

Not to mention killing an undead can be either very easy or deceptively difficult. Thankfully Sylvanas has chosen the former.

tulip sun
#

You can chop arms off abd they are still good lol

#

But Sylvanas still has one life guys

#

So any of you wishing she dies, sorry

hollow dock
#

She still has at least what. 4 lives left?

tulip sun
#

Oh? I thought she only had one

#

Either way she aint dieing permanently

hollow dock
#

She started with 9 Valkyr right? 9 primes

zinc sandal
#

She’s got around 4, yeah

tulip sun
#

It takes more than 1 tho i think

#

It did last time

hollow dock
#

It has only taken one as far as I remmeber. since they're only taking her place in the shadowlands

tulip sun
#

IlI may be remembering wrong

sharp bluff
#

It takes more then 1 Valk to Rez her now I think

hollow dock
tulip sun
#

Wtf

#

Does that even count as a shirt or armor

#

The only thing covered are her nipplrs

hollow dock
#

According to Dungeons and Dragons, yea.

sharp bluff
#

Took 3 Valk to Rez her last time

#

So she has 1 more life

tulip sun
#

So still, she is not leaving us in bfa

sharp bluff
#

1 Valk at Icecrown, 3 in Silverpine

#

It is based on the strength of the Valkyr from what I can find

#

So she may have 2 lives left

#

Icecrown was the eldest Valkyr, silverpine was the youngest and 2 others

hollow dock
#

and we ended up killing 1 of the prime valkyr in Andorhal and then another one has been weakened giving Nathanos a new bod

winged heron
#

I’m so depressed about the horde. I know they said many things are yet to be revealed but idk I’m sad Kermit in the tub

terse patrol
#

Sylvanas’ face when her sister is totally cooler than her now. woke

hollow dock
#

You're getting all the alpha love

#

and you're the depressed ones

#

wat

uncut vault
#

There's no real basis for the whole "its takes progressively more valkyr to bring her back" stuff

#

all three being sacrificed was just to wrap up loose ends in the zone

hollow dock
#

yea it just took 3 in Silverpine cuz.

#

Reasons.

terse patrol
#

“we dont like being the aggressors, but we want to have warmongering leaders in power T^T”

hollow dock
#

its almost like being a warchief either makes you or tries to make you into a warmonger.

terse patrol
#

maybe they should like

#

Rename the position

#

Lmao

hollow dock
#

whaaa

#

no

#

Warchief is clearly

#

CLEARLY

#

a peaceful sounding position

#

it has 0 ties to barbaric tendancies

terse patrol
#

It’s not like any historic society who’s king level title is called ”warchief” was warlike in any fashion.

winged heron
#

“Why are you sad when *lists reasons to be sad about *” let me die

hollow dock
#

Exactly honk

sharp bluff
#

Horde respects strength at this point 🤷 , at the moment she is the one doing what needs to be done. : Saurfang refuses to lead, never trust a goblin leader, I doubt the belf guy wants to leave Silvermoon, pandas won’t lead, who leads Darkspear again now?, and nothing against Tauren guy, but he really hasn’t done much other then recruit Highmountain at the moment : I don’t like or hate her as warchief, but at this point we kind of need it

#

Survival

hollow dock
#

She's made you guys need her tho

sharp bluff
#

Saurfang won’t help

hollow dock
#

Like. Anduin was happy to put down the sword and extend a hand

#

She wants to wipe out the alliance

sharp bluff
#

Most of the datamined text has her wanting to separate the two correct? Not kill

winged heron
#

Yea yea anduin best boi zzz

#

Sorry jk

hollow dock
#

Uh

#

you should re-read Golden's book

sharp bluff
#

Everyone knows the gnome would lead better

hollow dock
#

she 100% states that she believes the horde cannot exist with the alliance in peace

#

and tells Nathanos she plans on attacking Stormwind as soon as possible

#

She never wants peace. She wants death. It's what fuels her.

sharp bluff
#

And they are rewriting it now judging by the datamined stuff

hollow dock
#

That's the book Zep

#

not the game

#

the book

sharp bluff
#

Yep, and game trumps book in WoW

hollow dock
#

it was an excerpt of the book.

winged heron
#

They retcon things all th le time

hollow dock
#

The book is an expansion

#

of the game

#

You can't ignore hte book

#

it is apart of the lore

ruby star
#

Dw Slyvanas would fail attacking stormwind

winged heron
#

Eh books can suck sometimes

hollow dock
#

Also Friendly, they aren't retconning more stuff. that's the point of Chronicles

#

and all of Golden's books are top tier and beloved by the community. She knows how to write.

winged heron
#

Yea I know I’m just sad

ruby star
#

Yeah Golden is great

winged heron
#

Yea I like the latest chronicle too
They actually putting foot down clearing things up

tulip sun
#

Lets not forget they attacked her first xD

#

She is just escalating it

hollow dock
#

and you can argue that they escalated it because she retreated and got Varian killed but then you can argue that some event BEFORE that is why they did that so on so forth so on so forth somethingsomething no one learned a god damn thing from Pandaria

tulip sun
#

They gave her a good reason to declare wae, lol. The horde follows her now. If they would have held off, and she attacked dirst, the horde would have rebelled again
