#

now that I think of it, the horde actually got to overachieve

#

by raising a night elf not on the roster

uncut vault
#

We wont know if theyre recorded until theyre either tweeted about by someone or released onto the ptr

tulip sun
#

Tyrande incapacitated a lot of forsaken troops(Killed? I got no clue on that part- either way, they gone for now), pushed into Darkshore, AND had a little icing on that with a dead Val'kyr.

hollow dock
#

She didn't kill.

#

and again

tulip sun
#

The Horde escaping with some Undead elves and their lives doesn't change that

hollow dock
#

NONE OF THAT WAS THEIR OBJECTIVE

tulip sun
#

Still happened, to their benefit.

hollow dock
#

and that doesn't make it a victory or make any sense in how it's a victory

hardy hedge
#

Look. What happened there is the problem of narrative vs intention

hollow dock
#

they failed on all accounts

#

Well said Chara.

hardy hedge
#

Blizzard thinks that what they make LOOKS like a victory

#

But it doesnt

#

It looks as if the Horde wins more

zealous basalt
#

They can

hardy hedge
#

Nathanos accomplished his objective

zealous basalt
#

But they don't wanna

hardy hedge
#

He raised Sira and Delaryn

tulip sun
#

Believe what you guys want. They did accomplish things, despite the Horde also accomplishing things.

hardy hedge
#

The val'kyr that died was expendable. And Tyranze only killstealed kt

uncut vault
#

honestly, I think what really makes it feel like less of a loss for Horde is that we dont know Brynja

tulip sun
#

and it was NOT at all expendable

uncut vault
#

this quest is literally the first time we find out her name

hardy hedge
#

Because the PC and Malfurion lowered her health to 1/3

tulip sun
#

There are THREE Greater Val'kyr left.

uncut vault
#

thats my main critique, aside from the night elf troops being kinda useless

hardy hedge
#

Yeah. Still enough to raise Sylvanas

uncut vault
#

we really should have learned all the valkyr's names a long time ago

tulip sun
#

Ya, which is VERY dangerous

hardy hedge
#

One Val'kyr less doesnt change it

tulip sun
#

and a great loss to her.

#

ANd I agree Porter, we should've learned more about e,

#

em

uncut vault
#

learning who Brynja is five minutes before she dies is so meh

tulip sun
#

But it does have lore implications involving Sylvanas

#

She is on thin ice now.

hardy hedge
#

Look. Nathanos accomplished almost anything he went there for. He raised a lot of Nelves. Got info on the Night Warrior and raised Sira and Delaryn.

The Alliance did the Night Warrior ritual yet still got handled. They didnt stop the Horde from raising more Nelves, they didnt stop them from killin Sira and raise her alongside Delaryn. Damn, Tyrande as the Night Warrior is absurdly lame

#

She says "The time for mercy is over." yet she spares a whole base of Forsaken

calm hawk
#

Val'Kyr aren't expendable they are the only thing holding the Forsaken together

hardy hedge
#

And cant beat Nathanos on 1 on 1

hollow dock
#

it wasn't that much of a loss.

#

and no they aren't Obsidian

#

lesser valkyr can raise forsaken just like greaters

#

but the lessers can't replace Sylvanas in hell/helhiem or wherever it was she goes

#

So they're only really valuable to her

hardy hedge
#

That one val'kyr was an acceptable loss. Sylvanas can still revive if she needs them. And it was literally the only thing the Horde lost

#

They didnt lost anything else

#

Fuck Nathanos wasnt even mauled

hollow dock
#

^

#

Like Red Shirt guy pointed out in his article

#

which you would be clued in if you actually read it Kham

#

The Night Warrior

hardy hedge
#

When Nathanos fought Genn. He got his ass handled and everyone reminded him so

hollow dock
#

He actually looked worse

#

because a worgen mauled his face

hardy hedge
#

Here he snarks Tyrande like she was a nerd

hollow dock
#

Like lie to us and say the same things over and over but don't lie to yourself D=

tulip sun
#

You do realize the Horde is utterly demolished in this patch? Your complaining that they accomplish some things.

#

But the Alliance do accomplish other things

zealous basalt
#

That's not

hardy hedge
#

The Alliance accomplishes killing Rastakhan but they are later said to suffer heavy losses

zealous basalt
#

The issue

hardy hedge
#

They do tell us that the Alliance is "winning in every front." but the trick is that we dont see it

#

Thats the problem with the narrative

hollow dock
#

sigh

hardy hedge
#

They want to tell us something vs what they actually tell us

hollow dock
#

I don't know why I keep bothering with Kham.

#

I pointed that out

#

when Ian's article came out earlier today Chara

zealous basalt
#

Biased view

hollow dock
#

Kham just kinda spat on it and said we're overreacting

#

and that we should keep an open mind cuz its early PTR

hardy hedge
#

Look I have a forsaken avatar. I have been a Forsaken fan since I played WoW. But I just dont buy this lol

uncut vault
#

Im real worried this means the next opart of the war campaign is time gated

zealous basalt
#

In comparison of b eing rep gated in live?

#

Like, there wouldn't be anything to have as a requisite

clear mesa
zealous basalt
#

Ya, we already spoke about it several hours ago

jovial skiff
#

Porter rather than a time gate it will probably just phase you once youve completed it, after maybe a small wait and some rep grinding
just like it does now

hardy hedge
#

"Give me 20 good men." - Nathanos Blightcaller

zealous basalt
#

But the thing is Skylor

#

You are supposed to be at Exalted in that moment

jovial skiff
#

thats a good point

#

likely time gated then, hopefully not by a whole lot of time

zealous basalt
#

one week?

jovial skiff
#

maybe a couple days tbh

#

it didnt take a week to hit the various rep levels for 7th legion

oak wraith
#

Time gated stuff usually runs with the weekly reset cycle, if it's for everyone (so if you start in week 3 you can do the stuff for week 1, 2 and 3, etc.). At least, that's how I remember it working.

jovial skiff
#

well... they could also expand the War factions to have paragon rep for us to grind out too

#

I pray they dont

zinc sandal
#

So the Night Warrior eyes

#

Do we know if they’ll stay that way, or will Blizz add glow?

#

Because...while it’s really cool, I’m not excited about my character squinting 24/7.

dense plover
#

@uncut vault I think it might not be in yet. They just added the strings this week so it might not be ready for testing

mystic heart
#

someone want go to battle for darkshore in 2-4 hours?

hollow dock
#

sure why not.

tulip sun
#

Will you be able to get enough people to queue this time of day?

hollow dock
#

I imagine hes asking here to get a premade going.

tulip sun
#

It is just alliance right now isn't it?

#

I would help out but have no max alliance in bfa so far.

hollow dock
#

you do know that the PTR gives you, at random granted, a faction swap right?

#

actually Port gave you that info the last time you said that Kham

tulip sun
#

Good for him?

zealous basalt
#

facepalms

hollow dock
#

and then you wonder why I tend to want to just block you as telling you anything is like talking to a brick wall.

tulip sun
#

There was no reason to tell me that e.e

#

As if knowing what he said in the past helps anything. I must have missed or forgot it

zealous basalt
#

He was telling you that you could change your horde to alliance if wanted

#

There was no excuse to not try both sides of the ptr rn

hollow dock
#

^

#

that was the point of me telling you that

#

since you said the same thing yesterday

tulip sun
#

This is confusing....hm. Maiev, Malfurion, Shandris and uhhh

#

Jarod are all in the warfront together.

hollow dock
#

How is that confusing?

#

they're probably the last of Night elf command for their forces. since you horde decided to genocide them

tulip sun
#

Because, Malfurion is supposedly a commander and Maiev.

#

Perhaps his chat box popped up on accident

#

Unless there is just a group of characters on each side this time.

#

and not separate commanders

hollow dock
#

So why wouldn't Shandris and Jarod be there?...

zealous basalt
#

They all be high ranks with De Night Elves

#

Oh

#

I get what you say

tulip sun
#

Jarod is a recruitment officer.

#

But Maiev, Shandris and Malfurion just are NPCs. Perhaps it is just a group effort instead of a single commander like Stromgarde.

hollow dock
#

no its still 1 commander

#

you kill the commanderand its done

#

they're just named NPCs in there. Arathi has their own named NPCs taht show up.

tulip sun
#

Who shows up in Arathi

zealous basalt
#

They probably arent all warfront commanders

hollow dock
#

some admiral a dwarf, and a gnome

zealous basalt
#

We might have a different commander

tulip sun
#

It is interesting. So perhaps either way all of the characters appear.

#

But one is in charge.

hollow dock
#

You know what. You do you and think your ways.

tulip sun
#

I am just discussing what I see.

#

They all appear in the warfront together.

zealous basalt
#

We might have to wait for the next cycle

hollow dock
#

Yea. Neat.

#

But you also speak of things that just break the warfront.

#

I feel like common sense just gets tossed out the window

tulip sun
#

Not my fault if it breaks things.

#

It is what is shown

#

OOohh, that is cool. A Blightguard Captain is riding a plagued protodrake

zealous basalt
#

!!

#

Oh no they didnt

hollow dock
#

Where is it shown though

#

Like where is it that you are seeing that all of them are warfront commanders

zealous basalt
#

Forsaken are going to be wiped from Azeroth

hollow dock
#

for you to say they're all warfront commanders

tulip sun
#

I am not saying they all are warfront commanders

#

I honestly do not know.

#

Anyway

zealous basalt
#

Oh

#

Plague protodrake

tulip sun
#

Thisalee Crow is also there.

hollow dock
#

So then, with logical straight forward thinking, why would you think they're all warfront commanders?

#

and great to see she wasn't slaughtered

zealous basalt
#

I thought it was just a plagued drake

#

Des

tulip sun
#

I may have used the wrong word Majore.

#

Makore*

zealous basalt
#

Watch her being a commander

#

Warfront Commander Thisalee Crow

hollow dock
#

that'd be funny

zealous basalt
#

If you aggro her

#

"IM FEELING STABBY"

terse patrol
#

Stabgoblin Thisalee

#

Someone needs to draw her like Umaru chan.

hollow dock
#

it's nice to see that the old trick to not re-download all of WoW still works

#

get out

#

remove yourself

terse patrol
#

no

hollow dock
#

from the premises

#

now

tulip sun
#

Bashal'aran doesn't have many walls o.o

hollow dock
#

You are banned.

#

and illegal

terse patrol
#

nope

hollow dock
#

You're banned forever.

zealous basalt
#

Honestly tho

#

Blizz should let characters like Thisalee Crow have their own spotlight

hollow dock
#

Please no

#

I want the older roster cycled through

#

before the newer roster

zealous basalt
#

Like shesh, you have tons of new people from the Order Hall that have some charisma

#

I want to say death knight Nazgrim but he isnt new

#

But hell, he was quite fun to interact with

hollow dock
#

he was just really angry

#

he needed a snickers

zealous basalt
#

His snickers was strangling everyone

hardy hedge
#

They ruined Thisalee tbh

tulip sun
#

I expected the warfront to be the entirety of Darkshore

#

Looks to be only he top half./

zealous basalt
#

Just like Arathi warfront

hollow dock
#

If Arathi wasn't the entirety of Arathi

#

why would this one be the entirety of Darkshore?

zealous basalt
#

But

#

You have a new Darkshore

tulip sun
#

I don't know why.

zealous basalt
#

In open world content that is

tulip sun
#

I forgot Arathi was just one part of it.

hollow dock
#

So did they finally fix the broken phasing of darkshore

#

is my question

#

@uncut vault how do I turn off lua errors again?

tulip sun
#

Ok, and Lorna Crowley is there.

hollow dock
#

Ah good, Mak. I get to experience the terrible writing of 8.1 firsthand now.

tulip sun
#

Seemingly leading the Gilneans

zealous basalt
#

I want to

#

But

#

I dont want to

#

What If they change it later

#

Just redochar?

hollow dock
#

They wont

zealous basalt
#

If they dont

#

Bfa will be marked to be the laziest writting in WoW Story

hollow dock
zealous basalt
#

Good game mechanics

#

Good raids

#

But bad writting

hardy hedge
#

Tess Greymane is also in the Warfront

#

There are also Mag'har orcs!

hollow dock
#

LOL

#

the rep bar at the bottom is just gone

dense plover
#

Yeah

#

I said that vris

#

The only place with night warriors that aren’t tyrande is at the docks

#

The npcs the horde raises in darkshore are not night warriors

hollow dock
#

That they raise no

#

they aren't

#

Never said raise

#

said kill

#

the ones they kill and fight through

dense plover
#

I’m not sure they are

tulip sun
#

Chara

#

Did you play the warfront?

hardy hedge
#

I saw some streams. Why?

dense plover
#

Oh

#

You mean kill in the warfront

hollow dock
#

No.

#

I don't

#

The ones you kill int he tyrande questline

#

dubbed

#

"Army of the Black Moon"

dense plover
#

If you say so

#

Tbh the questline is pretty messy

tulip sun
#

Ah, ok. Was just curious

#

Watching a video.

dense plover
#

It needs work

tulip sun
#

Hordeisde just forsaken and goblins thus far.

hollow dock
#

Chara keeps telling you that there's Mag'har there

tulip sun
#

The alliance subboss or whatever for the lumber mill is a Keeper of the Grove.

#

Des, I read that.

zealous basalt
#

Is the warfront arsthi levels of fun?)

hardy hedge
#

The mag'har appeared as enemies in the Alliance one tho

tulip sun
#

I will keep an eye out for it

hollow dock
#

Oh that's cool

tulip sun
#

Still have quite a lot of watch

hollow dock
#

the war npcs right

#

fromt he war table in Stormwind

#

they get voices and tell us to repel the horde

#

@dense plover Happen to know how to turn off the lua errors?

dense plover
#

Off the top of my head no

#

But if you search for /console in this chat, porter posted it a few days ago

#

I think it’s /console scripterror 0

#

Maybe

tulip sun
#

It does seem like some have night warrior eyes in the warfront

#

OH, wow. Did not expect Celestine of the Harvest to be in the warfront.

hollow dock
#

Well. Yea? The gilneans took a heavy hit as well.

tulip sun
#

She just didn't seem the...fightng type. It is nice to see her

zealous basalt
#

Des

#

Iirc there is an option in the interface menu

hollow dock
#

That common sense thing coming through

hardy hedge
zealous basalt
#

Wat in tarnation

#

Pikachutwo

tulip sun
#

Haha, that is cool.

#

I have yet to see them in what I am watching

zealous basalt
#

Were they in the beggining or wat

hollow dock
#

As a general FYI

#

the command to turn off Lua Errors is /console scriptError 0

#

anyone on the PTR able to help me kill this elite for the incursion? Would want to see the finish of it

tulip sun
#

So...

#

I found out where Mordenta ppears

#

Oh, I do see Tess.

#

She is beside Lorna. Totally missed that

zealous basalt
#

Dem red eyes

#

I'm going to be sad when they remove them

tulip sun
#

Mordent should appear more

hollow dock
#

Why do I feel like all the characters could appear doing nothingbut dancing andKham would love it.

zealous basalt
#

I want Thisalee as commander now

#

So des

#

What would be you reaction

#

If they leave the eyes for the elves?

hollow dock
#

what eyes?

zealous basalt
#

Da red eyes

#

They are a bugged version of the night warrior skin, right?

hollow dock
#

the red eyes are a bug yes.

#

If they keep in a bug, shame on them?

zealous basalt
#

Nope

#

I actually think most peebs would like da red eyed elves

#

Well

#

I do

#

Even if it doesnt make sense at all

mystic heart
#

so who have ptr client
go test warfronts pls 😄

hollow dock
#

Damn it. Unable to now. ;3;

mystic heart
#

servers are down?

hollow dock
#

Nah im just inable to reach my computer

#

Unable*

mystic heart
tulip sun
#

Urgh.

#

I would but my computer is very slow and I was about go get some food.

#

Sorry

mystic heart
#

kk guys
it's not possible 😄

zealous basalt
#

Saurfang

#

Horde PC suddenly follows him

sullen dagger
#

ah the saurfang going rogue?

hollow dock
#

Yea and the pc killing lyana

zealous basalt
#

Even if the 8.0 quest we were following Sylvanas

sullen dagger
#

yeah, that's horseshit

zealous basalt
#

Without saying anything

hollow dock
#

But now we care about saurfang

#

And lie to our warchief

zealous basalt
#

Ye

hollow dock
#

Which if were found

#

Is grounds for execution

zealous basalt
#

Horde PCs are hypocrites

#

Imbeciles

#

And mentally unstable

hollow dock
#

I mean

#

All pcs are mentally unstable

zealous basalt
#

...well

hollow dock
#

We're homicidal sociopathic hobos

zealous basalt
#

HORDES ARE MORE

tranquil steeple
#

look at what we do for loot

hollow dock
#

^^^&

sullen dagger
#

that's the usual efect of dying and rezzing so many times

hollow dock
#

We also commit genocide on a daily basis

night swift
#

Mute homeless murder hobos

zealous basalt
#

But enough to turn on someone we follow willingly?

hollow dock
#

Why not?

zealous basalt
#

Because why having a patch worth of quests where our character feels so in home with what they are doing

#

And suddenly go like

#

"Wait, I will do this"

hollow dock
#

Make your own story for it. IMO

#

Why did my character care about the frost dwarves in Storm Peaks?

zealous basalt
#

Own story =/= intended PC choices

hollow dock
#

Or the shadowmoon exiles in Shadownoon valley?

#

Why did I care about it.

#

You have the prompt so make a solution up

#

Or just bitch on the forums

#

Your choice

zealous basalt
#

How can you make a solution after betraying your warchief that your PC seems to love?

#

Mind Controlled?

hollow dock
#

Ask yourself if the pc actually loves the warchief

#

Or if theyre following

#

B3cause shes warchief

sullen dagger
#

miiiiind control

hollow dock
#

Time to be a bit of

#

And I know this sounds alien

#

But time to be C O M P L E X

zealous basalt
#

And if you go to the Horde capitals

#

Few people that follow Saurfang are roasted into oblivion

hollow dock
#

Yup. Which makes the tension even higher

#

Or again

#

Not do that

#

And bitch on the forums

#

Like some spoiled brat =^]

zealous basalt
#

Like u do

hollow dock
#

I dont.

#

I dont bitch on the forums. Once its out

#

I hate it

#

And still write around it

#

Doesnt mean at all that I liked it

zealous basalt
#

No u

#

I honestly like BfA

#

Hate that Blizzard is writing like this

hollow dock
#

I do too. But it has its issues and Im not blind to them.

zealous basalt
#

Even if they have excellent writers

#

But they just decide to do a mediocre job

#

And I'm afraid of something Des

sullen dagger
#

problem with choices is , if the choice is major, you have a major problem with the lore

zealous basalt
#

BfA becoming an expac thst had a lot of content

sullen dagger
#

so the writers just have to git gud

zealous basalt
#

But shitty writtinf

#

I think its like

#

A communication problem

#

They write something but dont know how to transmit it to us

#

Just as RSG said

#

Its a good idea on paper

hollow dock
#

They made a fantastic storyboard

#

But shitty animation

zealous basalt
#

An xpac that has a nice reason to exist via words?

#

They proved it can work

#

Look up and Elefy and a good war

hollow dock
#

Siege of lordaeron proves they can put it in game

zealous basalt
#

But somehow they forget it

#

Or just dont have the will to put it

#

And I pity Ion, you know?

#

He said so many good things of 8.1 that hyped most of us

hollow dock
#

Ion takes rhe flak when most of this isnt even his doing

#

The*

zealous basalt
#

But the execution

#

If this keeps like thos

#

Will be por

#

Poor

#

And what will happen?

#

"When will Ion get fired?"

hollow dock
#

Oh that happened already

zealous basalt
#

And I love hypocrites Des

#

They call out him out

#

But at the same time

#

Xompare it to WotlK that had excellent raids

#

When Ion designed them

#

???

hollow dock
#

Ikr?

heavy cairn
#

Uldir's a good raid too, no?

hollow dock
#

It is

zealous basalt
#

And honestlt

hollow dock
#

But first raid-itus

zealous basalt
#

Ion makes good mechanics

heavy cairn
#

the majority of the problems are outside of uldir, funny that that's one of their points of comparison

zealous basalt
#

When I saw Sco from Method I saw that he was enjoying it

hollow dock
#

And ion actually qent over why these problems take so long to get fixed in his recent forbes k terview

#

Interview*

zealous basalt
#

He is a good director tbh

#

I do not know if he is better than Metzen

#

But so far he has doing nice works

hollow dock
#

Hes not that great at PR damage-control

#

Metzen wasnt a game designer.

#

He was a story writer.

zealous basalt
#

Was Green Jesus his work?

hollow dock
#

Yes

#

He did most of the story decisions in cata.

#

And mop

zealous basalt
#

I didnt like thrall story but I loved cata

hollow dock
#

Eh

night swift
#

Green jesus was weird

hollow dock
#

That whole arc was weird yes

#

Wonder what metzen thinks of the work with anduin

#

Since he loved anduin more than thrall

zealous basalt
#

But back into thing

#

Sadly it's not the work of one man to make a game run smoothly

hardy hedge
#

Anduin is one of the least bad things in BfA

#

But most of the Warcraft fanbase are edgy teens

#

So they cant understand the idea of a character that isnt an edgelord

hollow dock
#

How is anything with anduin bad? O.o

zealous basalt
#

Least bad

hollow dock
#

Varian wasnt an edge lord.

hardy hedge
#

A lot of people say he is "stupid"

hollow dock
#

Least bad still implies bad

#

Just not the worst of it

hardy hedge
#

Varian started to get loved after his death. A lot of people complained about him before

night swift
#

Anduin has become Manduin

zealous basalt
#

People dont know what they have until they lose it

hollow dock
#

I just dont take anything the communitt says seriously anymore.

#

Community*

zealous basalt
#

Tbh

hardy hedge
#

I think Anduin is pretty okay and consistent. He is a young man that has been forced to take a role he despises as a pacifist but that he understands has no choice. He doesnt want to send his people to die and continue a pointless war, but he also knows he cant talk his way out.

zealous basalt
#

The community just devolved

#

Like it was somewhat good in Legion

#

And turned out int fucking crybabies that would harass a man over twitter

hollow dock
#

Yea anduins in a tough spot.

#

Though on BFA

#

He does know war has to happen with sylvanas. Until she is removed, no peace can be worked towards

hardy hedge
#

But people call him an idiot because "He didnt kill Sylvanas when he could."

hollow dock
#

Because hes not sylvanas when he- god I hate this community and their lack of understanding character

#

Much like Varian, at MoP, spared Garrosh, sylvanas needs to stand trial.

zealous basalt
#

This bingo card

#

hurts my eyes

#

The rp server sharding that is

heavy cairn
#

there's RP server sharding?

#

I thought that specifically wasn't the case

night swift
#

That’ll never be addressed

#

I wanna hear about vicious saddles

#

I want that fucking gilnean warhorse

hollow dock
#

It was already addressed tho

#

Yes there used to be sharding when the server load couldnt handle it

zealous basalt
#

People are idiots tho

#

They want no lag

hardy hedge
#

Shadow Priest changes HAHAHAHHhaha!!

zealous basalt
#

With no shard

#

At the day 1

hollow dock
#

Ion did address this in his Forbes interview

heavy cairn
#

server can't even handle 40 players on one shard tho

#

RP or no RP

hollow dock
#

It can?

#

I get in 80 people shards for wbs and no lag

heavy cairn
#

yea but that's too many pings, look at any world boss group

#

well, I don't know how you avoid the lag...

hollow dock
#

Fiber optic cable mostly.

zealous basalt
#

It's not their fault your pc cant handle people

heavy cairn
#

it's not FPS

#

and I have fiber optics

zealous basalt
#

Idk whatchu talkin bout

hollow dock
#

/shrug

zealous basalt
#

I have been in invasions with 3 raids

#

Never got a bit of lag

#

A little of graphic issues

heavy cairn
#

I haven't seen any server-side world boss lag issues until BFA

zealous basalt
#

But never lag

heavy cairn
#

maybe I get sharded to oceanic or something lol

zealous basalt
#

Yes

heavy cairn
#

oh I guess it wasn't world boss, it was those rare elites that still get the same amount of people

zealous basalt

Garrosh 2.0

#

Why garrosh 2.0

#

If it was arthas 2.0 the meme would have more sense

heavy cairn
#

arthas wasn't a friendly leader NPC in WoW

zealous basalt
#

What part od

#

Ion doesnt talk about story

#

People dont understand

#

His creme is game mechanics

terse patrol
#

Sucks being on an RP server and not seeing. . . anyone in SW lol.

zealous basalt
#

Well

#

Not a lot of peoe are on sw nowadays

#

Now the hit is rpingin boralus

hollow dock
#

Uh

#

What

#

I was on moonguard and Stormwind is fuckin lacked

#

Packed*

zealous basalt
#

Fuckin shit

night swift
#

I don’t even really see people in boralus

#

I probably don’t go to the right spots though

zealous basalt
#

I rp there

#

Like

#

There are free homes

tulip sun
#

In WrA Orgrimmar is filled

#

Especially he Valley of Strength

#

or was it Honor

zealous basalt
#

I dislike WrA

#

Of the three guild I have been

#

I have been attacked for being a double agent and being latin

tulip sun
#

What guilds....

#

It has been wonderful in WrA.

#

Transferred a few months ago

hollow dock
#

Maybe for you, clearly not him though.

tulip sun
#

One of the better rp servers I experienced.

#

And that's why I asked what guilds

#

I am curious

hollow dock
#

Hope the ones targeting him due to hin bei g latin get banned out for racism

#

/shrug

tulip sun
#

I wonder if they're still around

zealous basalt
#

Yes, they are

#

And honestly from Alliance part it sucks

#

You cant rp unless you strictly follow Lore

hollow dock
#

Oh a bunch of lore nazis

#

Bleh

uncut vault
#

WrA Alliance is where a lot of the disliked lore elitists from Moon Guard transfer to when people get tired of them in Stormwind

#

Generally Horde is better there, both because they’ve got a better open environment and a lot more friendly people

zealous basalt
#

Well, saldlt not for me

#

I just gquited yesterday and focused on leveling my DH rather than my cow

tulip sun
#

I havnt explored alliance side much

zealous basalt
#

I have come to a conclusion

#

The best rp you could find imo

#

Is Moonguard fo Alliance

#

WrA for Horde

tulip sun
#

That was my first role-playing server. Alliance moonguard on alliance

hollow dock
#

Generally yea

tulip sun
#

I worded that bad

#

But anyway

hollow dock
#

Moonguard tends to be great. If you acoud the problem areas.

zealous basalt
#

Moonguard alliance is more friendly and lore bending

hollow dock
#

Avoid*

zealous basalt
#

But I wish there was more open world rp

tulip sun
#

The guilds I joined generally didn't last long

zealous basalt
#

The only open world I was at was...the Arathi thing

hollow dock
#

Thats rp guilds in general tbh

tulip sun
#

I am gradually moving all mine to Wr!

#

WrA*

hollow dock
#

Only a very select few actually stay around

zealous basalt
#

Thing if Rp guilds is

#

The members dont know what is dedication

tulip sun
#

Makore, what are you trying to do that the peeps on WrA didn't like?

hollow dock
#

Tbh its real easy to step o the toes of a lore nazi

zealous basalt
#

My dragon guild (laugh at me if you want) kinda died because everyone just stopped playing with us

#

And well

hardy hedge
#

RPing in an MMO in the open. You are doing it wrong

hollow dock
#

Like if you say that you were there to see the lich kings fall, bam. Youre doing it wrong.

hardy hedge
#

The only logical and fun way to RP is in a group

#

Preferably a guild

tulip sun
#

Ya

hollow dock
#

I dont agree with that at all

zealous basalt
#

I was trying to introduce a character that got trained by pandaren in their youth due the few traveling ones that were around

#

And that's bs

hollow dock
#

But I rp on a private server so.

tulip sun
#

Huh

hollow dock
#

/shrug

zealous basalt
#

What is the cause of having a big world?

tulip sun
#

That is literally my main character e.e

zealous basalt
#

If you are going to stay in one place?

tulip sun
#

A Pandaren who traveled years before MoP

hardy hedge
#

Else if you just like, trust anyone in the open to follow your mindset in rp then you are gonna get disappointed

hollow dock
#

Like Chen did.

tulip sun
#

Ya

zealous basalt
#

Ye

#

Like Chen did

tulip sun
#

It is said in lore he wasn't the only one

zealous basalt
#

Mostly to have an esxuce of having a human that was good on being monk

hollow dock
#

They were just rare.

zealous basalt
#

But I got obliterated

#

And was like "idc"

#

server transfer back to Ragnaros

tulip sun
#

Huh....makes me wonder what will happen when I actually try to do stuff with my pandaren

#

It sounds like you have just bad luck with who you end up interacting with o.o

#

Or maybe I just didn't see that side of people yet here

zealous basalt
#

And then

#

The same people from there

hollow dock
#

You play different factions

#

So

zealous basalt
#

I saw them in gillies

#

And was like

#

"You dont like lorebreaks but you rp in gilneas pugs"

#

So yep

tulip sun
#

I do, but my pandaren is alliance

#

Love her

zealous basalt
#

In the end I got in a guild where I meet a nice friend

tulip sun
#

My most fleshed out person

zealous basalt
#

She loves dragons with an intense love

hardy hedge
#

Horde Pandaren

Who ever plays that?

#

Jk

zealous basalt
#

But then I got in the wrong shoe of the leader

tulip sun
#

I am tempted on faction changing her so I don't gotta search for a new guild alliance side

#

But I already have her developed specifically allianceside

zealous basalt
#

Mostly because I took over the guild because she stopped playing

#

And made a highborne

#

So she end up rping her highborne, didnt care about us

#

Most people left

#

Then I took over and tried to make it good again, she noticed it

#

And well

#

Doxxed me

tulip sun
#

Do you remember the name of them?

zealous basalt
#

Yes

#

And thankfully she doesnt play anymore

#

They went to a private rp server where no one bothers her

tulip sun
#

Mind telling me or don't you want to tell us?

hollow dock
#

Know my frustrations Kham =^]

zealous basalt
#

Well, she doesnt play anymore so

#

Enyssea, that was her character name

tulip sun
#

I am very interested now and want to check these folks out.

zealous basalt
#

A highborne queen

#

Yes

#

Queen

tulip sun
#

Queen?

zealous basalt
#

Yes

tulip sun
#

And they yelled at you for lore?

hollow dock
#

And this is the lore nazi

zealous basalt
#

From her own kingdom

hollow dock
#

Right.

hardy hedge
#

Ayyyyyy lmao

zealous basalt
#

Thst got obliterated by the waves

hardy hedge
zealous basalt
#

And got into an stasis

#

She was too at start

#

But when we came to discussion over guild

#

She was like "my stuff is small enough to not have a weigh in real lore"

tulip sun
#

I think you just may have went with a bad group of apples. O.O

zealous basalt
#

???

#

I gave up in wow there

#

Gave leader to another friend

#

And quit

#

Then when I go back this other dragon lady friend got me in

hollow dock
#

I think she didnt realize theres only 1 Quee

zealous basalt
#

And since that I have been rping with her

hollow dock
#

Queen*

zealous basalt
#

SHE DID

#

Even her character acknowledged it which pissed me off

hollow dock
#

Azhsara would have pbliterated her

zealous basalt
#

Qnd she was acting like that

hollow dock
#

Obliterated her*

zealous basalt
#

So she could have a

#

Superiority complex

#

Over everyo e

hollow dock
#

Like fuck, ot even Elisande was Queen

zealous basalt
#

Not my boy

#

He really stepped up against her most of the times

#

But she always gmodded her way in when the things was bad for them

hollow dock
#

As yiu should. Any good highborne knows Azhsara is the one true queen

zealous basalt
#

Mostly because I took advantage of the Chi thing and almost exploded her from inside

#

You know, Chi Explosion back in WoD

hardy hedge
#

You should have used the Touch of Death lore bit

hollow dock
#

Which is smart of ya

#

Oh yea that too.

hardy hedge
#

That said that Monks can just control your life force

#

And insta kill you

zealous basalt
#

Ye

hardy hedge
#

It was a quote in one of Legion's Legendaries

hollow dock
#

Monks are stupid op in lore

zealous basalt
#

But I don't really want to oneshot everyone

hollow dock
#

Before them it was Shadow priests

zealous basalt
#

And everyone that followed her was pissed at him

hollow dock
#

Nor should a monk do so

zealous basalt
#

"How can a human be so strong, stronger than us'

hardy hedge
#

Shadow Priest and Warlocks are pretty strong too

zealous basalt
#

And I was like

hardy hedge
#

Like logically how do you counter a mind attack?

#

Not with a barrier

zealous basalt
#

"Yes bitch?"

#

Storm, Earth and Fire

hollow dock
#

Theres qhere I homebrewed up specific arcane wards to guard against mental assaults

#

A lot of people had

zealous basalt
#

Timed 5

hardy hedge
#

Yeah but not many people come to that conclussion

zealous basalt
#

15 clones giving them the corporation

hardy hedge
#

So they got blown up

hollow dock
#

But to many randoms leave their minds wide open

zealous basalt
#

I had fun rping with him

#

Like

#

Hell of fun

hollow dock
#

So when my spriest would look ay them and burn fear into their minds theyd yell godmodding

zealous basalt
#

The good thing about monks is that they don't follow anything in specific

#

And he was like "I think shadow is cool too...its the other face of the coin with light"

hollow dock
#

Neither does my spriest. She steals her power from the void.

#

Shes actually a shadow mage but ya know. Class restrictions

zealous basalt
#

But then he got dicked

#

Like dicked hard

#

And got a trial and had like all his ability to use chi sealed

#

He cant even use magic so now he is a good ol rogue

#

This was hell for him because he was heavily dependant, but he still has da same speed of sonic, gotta go fast

#

I love rp, I really do

#

But

#

Damn, some people

hollow dock
#

Yea

#

Its a lot like D&D

#

When you get that DM thats just open to fun stuff

#

Its a blast

zealous basalt
#

I am unable to DM

hollow dock
#

When you get that dm thats anal about everything

#

Its terrible

zealous basalt
#

My words get over eachother

#

And the last time I dm I send everyone into a big af trap

#

And we spent like 3 days figure

#

Des, the only thing he feared because he wasnt unable to defeat

#

Were death knights

hollow dock
#

Oh DKs are so stupid in lore

#

Fucking saronite armor

zealous basalt
#

And nothing of chi works on a dead body

hollow dock
#

Yup.

zealous basalt
#

And he was like

#

"Shit. what do I do now"

hollow dock
#

And they dont need sleep. They dont need food.

zealous basalt
#

Before getting death gripped

#

Fucking edgelords

hollow dock
#

Whats really funny is that people dont realize rigbt

#

Deathgrip

#

Isnt only a pull in lore

#

Thats the game mechanic. It can be used to toss people around

zealous basalt
#

"Edge"

hollow dock
#

DHs tho man

zealous basalt
#

Now, the other death knight was a fucking deus ex

hollow dock
#

Their chi is all sorts of fucked up with their demonside

zealous basalt
#

So he was unbeatable

#

So what did I do? Run away

#

Be like "nNah m8

hollow dock
#

Tbh if you disarm a dk

zealous basalt
#

throws help me carving

hollow dock
#

Theyre pretty much powerless

zealous basalt
#

I thought that was with second gen

hollow dock
#

Third gens suffer from it too.

zealous basalt
#

Hax

hollow dock
#

Second and third gens rely on their runeblade

#

Its where their runes are carved

zealous basalt
#

I call hax

#

Wsnt to know how did I fixed it Des?

hollow dock
#

How

zealous basalt
#

He called a dragon to help him...that didnt end up well for the dragon but at least the DK was send to a volcano

#

Sent*

hollow dock
#

Rip draggo

tranquil steeple
#

rip dragon 2k18 - 2k18 PepeHands

zealous basalt
#

And since that day he respects dragons

#

...a little too much I gotta say

#

But we arent heading there

hollow dock
#

Dragonspawn????? :excited:

zealous basalt
#

...well, he thinks about it

#

Just a sworn

hollow dock
#

I had a dragonsworn once.

#

Was fun

zealous basalt
#

....tho the amount of dragons he has been sworn too

#

The first dragon ended up being his gf

#

And she died from some dragonhunters along a death knight

#

The second was a bronze that got lost in time

#

How do you even

#

And the third one is my dragon lady friend

#

And she is v nice with him

#

Its fun to have a constant friend to rp with

dense plover
#

Is the QnA over?

zealous basalt
#

Ye

night swift
#

Yeah how’d the q&a go?

zealous basalt
#

Talked about azerite powers

#

About traits not repeating in the future 4 ringed ones

#

Talked about tanking stuff

#

Healer shams

#

Hinted about a possible future premade only heroic warfront

night swift
#

Yeah the liveblog for it is up on the site

#

And blegh

dense plover
#

tiny new build

#

hopefully fixes some stuff

mystic heart
#

azerite fix

#

and lua errors has gone

dense plover
#

yep

#

all the darkshore flight points are gone

#

going to see if the zone changes are in world

ionic terrace
#

oh thank the lord

#

those lua errors notlikethis

hollow dock
#

Wanna turn em off?

#

/console scriptError 0

dense plover
#

theyre off now

#

they fixed it

#

also, darkshore is still pre-warfront

hollow dock
#

Yea it is.

#

I thought that was kinda obvious

dense plover
#

also, lighting effects are kind of bugged this build

hollow dock
#

good thing I play on low graphics 😎

terse patrol
#

@hollow dock tbh I kinda want Thrall, aka Green Moses, back. p sure that's what Saurfang is doing. Going to Nagrand to find Thrall.

hollow dock
#

Nah

#

I want him back

#

like Maoi

uncut vault
#

hope that they give him his hair back

#

thrall with braids > thrall with anal beads

#

Id overall be satisfied with the thrall storyline if by its end, we got back the warrior-shaman mix he used to be

#

cata and beyond leaned him way too far onto the shaman side

#

legion took him too far out of it with his depression

zealous basalt
#

Is me or legion made him somehow old?

dense plover
#

he IS old

uncut vault
#

well, Legion Thrall was him finally letting his burdens get to him

dense plover
#

hes married with a kid

uncut vault
#

he'd been holding himself up as an essential pillar before then, now he's not the only shaman the world relies on, he's got a new life, and a lot of regrets

#

I think they went a bit too far with the suicidal stuff but I assume that was due to Metzen's influence

terse patrol
#

He was 18 in Warcraft 3.

#

It's been 13 years.

#

So. . .

#

He's like, 31

jade basalt
#

He's 32

terse patrol
#

32, then

jade basalt
#

He was 19 in WC3

terse patrol
#

So, not old.

jade basalt
#

Nope.

terse patrol
#

He's more than capable of being Warchief still. @dense plover

#

idk why people think he's old.

jade basalt
#

Probably him shaving his head recently which kind of makes him look older

#

But hell, even Garrosh is older than him

#

Well.. was.

terse patrol
#

@jade basalt He shaved his head prolly to look more "spiritual".

dense plover
#

never said he was incapable of being warchief

terse patrol
#

I hope they had him grow his hair out.

dense plover
#

i just would prefer saurfang

terse patrol
#

eh, I think the Horde needs Thrall back, as long as they fix him.

#

Get rid of the trenchcoat.

jade basalt
#

I think it might have been to match Metzen. 😛 Hence the beard as well, and the kids, and his retiring.

dense plover
#

thrall had his son in cataclysm

jade basalt
#

They basically admitted as much a few times during different Blizzcons

terse patrol
#

Metzen's life is likely way less hectic now, and his surgery went well.

dense plover
#

but he doesnt work at blizzard

terse patrol
#

So, I dont doubt he'd love to come back and voice act for Thrall.

#

So?

dense plover
#

i dont think he wants to be on call as warchief

#

why do you think they cut thrall's role from BfA?

jade basalt
#

He said he'd love to keep voicing him, yea.

dense plover
#

he said that when he retired

#

its been a while

terse patrol
#

So?

dense plover
#

opinions change

#

the only orc warchief that seems likely at the moment is saurfang

jade basalt
#

He actually said it like it was a certainty that he'll keep voicing him. I mean I don't know if or when Thrall will return, and I'm not arguing about that, but when he does, he's pretty much guaranteed to be voiced by Metzen.

dense plover
#

ofc

#

but that doesnt mean he does or doesnt want a major role

terse patrol
#

Blizzard would not pick another voice for Thrall. They'd send him off before then.

dense plover
#

voicing a character and voicing a main story character are different

terse patrol
#

Coming in for a couple days and knocking out some voice lines for a patch?

jade basalt
#

Eh, voice sessions don't last super long.

dense plover
#

i still dont think thrall is our next warchief

#

theres no evidence of that

terse patrol
#

It's not like he's doing the work he used to do at Blizzard.

jade basalt
#

Oh no, I'm not even arguing about Thrall becoming Warchief at all. Just the voice thing.

terse patrol
#

There's no evidence, yes.

#

But I -want- it to happen.

dense plover
#

i dont

terse patrol
#

And I think it's possible Saurfang may or may not be heading for Nagrand.

#

Since that's Aggra's home.

dense plover
#

wat?

#

i dont

#

theres like

#

no evidence of that

terse patrol
#

He's heading for the Blasted Lands.

#

Why is he in the Swamp of Sorrows?

#

Why does he seem to be heading for Outland?

#

What else is there out in that direction?

dense plover
#

khadgar

terse patrol
#

wat

dense plover
#

booty bay

jade basalt
#

Some people do theorize that his path is getting closer to the Dark Portal

terse patrol
#

Why would he bypass

#

wat

#

Booty Bay is in a completely different direction dude

jade basalt
#

A bit too early for me to form an opinion though

terse patrol
#

He went past Deadwind.

#

Do you not know geography?

dense plover
#

its still south

#

and khadgar is at karazhan

terse patrol
#

. . . Which is in Deadwind.

#

"I must see Khadgar! So I will go past him."

dense plover
#

ok

#

so he goes to outland

terse patrol
#

"And live in a hut, rather than in his magical tower."

dense plover
#

then what?

terse patrol
#

He goes to Nagrand, where Thrall likely is.

dense plover
#

thrall is in dalaran

#

he was literally there for all of legion

#

why would he go to nagrand

terse patrol
#

<_>

dense plover
#

thrall didnt even grow up in outland

uncut vault
#

thrall is only in dalaran for the beginning of the shaman stuff

terse patrol
#

What expansion are we in, peach

uncut vault
#

he and aggra both leave

#

aggra is with the shaman order hall all xpac

dense plover
#

i dont think they leave for outland

#

thrall has no history there

hollow dock
#

thrall left for outland in BC.

uncut vault
#

theyre separate, thrall is on his own journey

hollow dock
#

that's where he met with Garrosh

dense plover
#

but he doesnt have a home there

uncut vault
#

his wolf and presumably his kids are both with aggra

#

he does have a grandmother there

terse patrol
#

Nagrand is Aggra's home, and it's a place of peace nowadays.

#

It's where the Throne of the Elements is.

dense plover
#

what does saurfang accomplish by going to nagrand?

terse patrol
#

. . . To bring the dude who was the heart of the New Horde back?

uncut vault
#

thrall aside, if he were there

#

visiting his sons grave

terse patrol
#

^

uncut vault
#

trying to center himself

dense plover
#

i dont see saurfang going to seek out thrall

terse patrol
#

I suspect we'll get a Thrall/Saurfang cinematic

dense plover
#

why would saurfang talk about all this new horde with zekhan

#

then go to outland and get the guy who helped found the horde

#

and led to garrosh

#

thats dumb

terse patrol
#

Saurfang does not want to lead.

dense plover
#

saurfang wants to die

terse patrol
#

No?

dense plover
#

him learning that he is a good leader is an interesting story

terse patrol
#

Not anymore.

dense plover
#

him deciding to go get thrall so he doesnt have to lead is a shit story

terse patrol
#

He clearly wants to save the Horde before dying.

dense plover
#

thats a shit plot line

terse patrol
#

a'ight i'm done

dense plover
#

do you not read what you write? you are saying he is going to go get thrall to lead the horde so he can go die in combat

#

thats fucking shit

#

it means all of the character building for saurfang is worthless

#

and it pulls thrall as warchief out of a fucking hat

#

"lets just have this character have all this plot and story and character development so we can kill him!"

uncut vault
#

I think he more means he wants to find thrall to try and put the horde back on the right path, so that when he does meet his warriors end, its with the horde as he sees as honorable

meager warren
#

I just want Baine and Lor'themar to quit eating her ass

hollow dock
#

I mean.

#

Delaryn

#

that's very much how blizz treats their new characters.

terse patrol
#

@meager warren that booty thicc tho

uncut vault
#

"lets just have this character have all this plot and story and character development so we can kill him!"

dense plover
#

delaryn died in the burning of teldrassil

hollow dock
#

They either die or just get forgotten

uncut vault
#

peers at voljin

meager warren
#

That booty ded tho

hollow dock
#

^ that too

dense plover
#

voljin was the worst offender

#

but blizzard seems to be trying to resolve that

uncut vault
#

happened to Xe'ra too, sudden unexpected deaths dont need to be a bad thing

#

started her buildup in the illidan novel, had her show up in 7.0

#

dies the first time we meet her for real

jade basalt
#

Vol'jin was due to an internal change of plans. Xe'ra was planned.

dense plover
#

idk

#

they mightve gone for the illidan redemption story

uncut vault
#

I dont doubt that, Im just saying sudden deaths arent a thing warcraft shies away from

dense plover
#

its hard to know if they changed it due to fan outcry or not

#

i definitely liked the "i am my scars" stuff tho

#

and velen realizing that the light isnt everything

jade basalt
#

Nah, cinematics are worked on for at least a year. It was planned. And it was the reason why Xe'ra was so on the nose, they knew it would not become real. Plus that was not even matching the Prophecy.

jovial skiff
#

choosing to remain how he was is fine, but actually just killing a prime naruu like that right in front of its greatest worshipers and getting no punishment? kinda ridiculous

jade basalt
#

I mean Turalyon did try to 'punish' him

#

But can't really blame him for defending himself can we ?

dense plover
#

and then realized he was essentially being mind controlled

terse patrol
#

@jade basalt I didnt like that Illidan could just grab his sword though

dense plover
#

illidan is really really strong

#

like

uncut vault
#

I mean when you're a hulking half demon, some human chump with a sword isnt gonna overpower you

terse patrol
#

Turalyon's no pushover. He wiped out an orc army solo.

dense plover
#

he is literally helping to fight sargeras

jade basalt
#

Illidan is supposed to be crazy powerful, like very crazy powerful. And demon skin is supposed to be tough as well. But I get the feeling.

#

You know his defeat at the Black Temple when he fought dozens of the strongest heroes at once ? He was literally at 1% strength. Like he was literally wounded and dying before we even showed up, and he still put up that fight and long enough for the demon hunters to finish their mission, and they succeeded in retrieving the Keystone. But it was just too late for him at that point. Imagine if he had been at 100%.

dense plover
#

he literally is fighting the dark titan for all eternity

#

he is/was one of the strongest characters in all of warcraft history

jade basalt
#

Nah, Sargeras is seated, he is not standing, you can see that in the cinematic. His family is scolding him for all eternity.

Aggramar: Dude, you basically killed me.
Sargeras: I know, I know, it was the fel..
