Lorash was older than anasterian

zealous basalt
#

I don't get why res him tho

hollow dock
#

fanservice

zealous basalt
#

I thought he was squashed by the vibes

#

Well, can we get the druid that got cut in half too?

sudden oak
#

I think he died by his own poison if im not mistaken

junior prairie
#

let's rez everyone! I want that ash-pile priestess to be rezed too!...wait she is? oh man XD (is that true by the way someone said the priestess in Eulgey was rezed on the shore?)

jade basalt
#

@hollow dock Literally everyone hates that development and it's probably a mistake from the author. Some people like Red Shirt Guy suggested he may have just been lying. With Malfurion telling him 'I don't remember your face among those who were exiled' and stuff like that and trying to give him a lesson not to dwell only on stuff he was told etc. A bit up in the air at that moment. It would make no sense for him to be freaking 7k years old, high elves are supposed to be a distinct, descendent subrace of Night elves, not their friggin, literal (grand) children.

junior prairie
#

@jade basalt That we can agree on!

hollow dock
#

Thank you for that.

#

@terse patrol still think he's legitimately 7k years old?

zealous basalt
#

Bluffing, you say?

jade basalt
#

Hell imagine just the cultural aspects of what this would mean. And the genealogical ones. A current blood elf could technically be Malfurion's literal kid, or grand child. It's just silly. They are supposed to have evolved separately for thousands of years both biologically and culturally and architecturally and magically. It would make no sense if suddenly the gap was just.. 0-2 generations.

terse patrol
#

Hard to say with Blizzard @hollow dock

hollow dock
#

like Quiet said, high elves already can live upwards of 3000, maybe even 4000, years.

#

They don't need to alter it so that alleria can live 1000 in the Nether

#

especially since she's so young by elves age of a couple hundred when she goes in

jade basalt
#

I personally know one (well two technically) of the Blizzard book writers (Chronicle..) but they didn't technically participate in the writing of that book so they can't really state it was a mistake or not, but last time I discussed it they said they'd check, I think we both forgot. Might try to remind them.

terse patrol
#

Blizzard will likely double down

hollow dock
#

but there's no reason for them to do that

terse patrol
#

If Lorash is that important to them they might

hollow dock
#

but what is the importance of lorash being that old

terse patrol
#

Whooooo knows

hollow dock
#

Which they'd also have to do the one thing

#

which can actually just get them sue'd. Which is falsely advertising Chronicles.

terse patrol
#

He’d have no reason to hate them otherwise

#

Lol

hollow dock
#

they can make up a million other lore friendly reasons

terse patrol
#

who’s to say they will

#

He’s already written into a short story

#

I mean, they eviscerated Kael’thas, what’s a little more blood elf lore raped for the purpose of “plot” for Blizzard?

hollow dock
#

Oh sweet jesus

#

really?

#

you're comparing what they did 12 years ago

#

to now

#

talk about a petty grudge

terse patrol
zealous basalt
#

To think that a simple dialogue from a blood elf rogue would change the lore

hollow dock
#

It won't

#

honk is being saltier than I

zealous basalt
#

Me thinks Quiet is correct and he was bluffing

#

...Honestly tho I hated that character

#

Like, in all the parts where he appeared was something like "I will be able to solo malfurion"

terse patrol
#

tbh

zealous basalt
#

I mean

terse patrol
#

the one person I would never want to kill malfurion is lorash

zealous basalt
#

if people liked him

#

thats up to them

terse patrol
#

anyone else can kill him

zealous basalt
#

I dislike people that brag a lot

#

...just to be squished like a mango

#

The elf druid though

#

Golden really knows how to make nice ships

terse patrol
#

i woulda preferred delaryn and that other sentinel. 👀

zealous basalt
#

Wasn't the druid shipped with Delaryn?

terse patrol
#

yes

#

but

#

i wanted lesbeans

zealous basalt
#

blinks

#

To each their own Ig

tulip sun
#

Lorash is a welcome change of pace to be honest

zealous basalt
#

No u

#

He was edgy

#

and now undead

tulip sun
#

He is a bad egg, but different than other Blood Elves

zealous basalt
#

he is edgy x 2

tulip sun
#

It is nice to see.

#

Exactly, lol

zealous basalt
#

We had enough of stupid edge with Legion

#

I honestly dislike characters like that

terse patrol
#

lorash is basically sephiroth

#

thats how edge he is

zealous basalt
#

Sephiroth is likeable

zinc sandal
#

THANK YOU BLIZZARD

#

That's better!

meager zodiac
#

what ? darkshore?

zealous basalt
#

ye

zinc sandal
#

Yeah

meager zodiac
#

tyrande uses an orc head for the ritual

terse patrol
#

zug

meager zodiac
#

if you look there is a pool of blood and an orc head floating alongside tyrande

zinc sandal
#

Damn

meager zodiac
zinc sandal
#

O_o

meager zodiac
#

she isnt playing around now lol

zealous basalt
#

wat in tarnation

meager zodiac
#

she did kill a lot of horde forces on her way up there

#

so yeah, she probably needed a head

sullen dagger
#

lol i think they woke up after reading rsg

#
sudden oak
#

oh my thats a nice sigil of torment

meager zodiac
#

why is an ancient in zandalar?\

#

of war no less?

#

is it a nelf camp?

sudden oak
#

maybe they brought him as part of the incursions?

meager zodiac
#

its probable yeah, but it looks cool!

#

makes the world feel more alive, like that blood elf encampment

sudden oak
#

yeah its nice to see they are using blood magic and their blood anima I think it was called?

meager zodiac
#

blood anima golems yeah! also farstriders

#

whats the context for that ancient of war?

uncut vault
#

just a night elf vs forsaken area

meager zodiac
#

oh, charming

uncut vault
#

forsaken have a ship off the coast and are loading blight off from it

#

night elves are guarding the beach and summoning ancients

meager zodiac
#

cool!

sudden oak
#

@uncut vault hey do you think all the changes in the ptr with the darkshore questline and the saurfang questline are truly from feedback or that it was just added later and people went ballistic before they should

#

as always

uncut vault
#

I think Saurfang stuff was partially intended, but they made it a real story choice starting now. There is added dialogue that both sides can see now, not just the quest text

#

darkshore was 100% player feedback

#

changes are based in a lot of things people asked for on the forums, and the fundamental story is the exact same

sudden oak
#

tbh it would great to see the blood golems changing a bit and becoming more blood elves themed

sullen dagger
#

WARFRONT CHANGES ARE 100% RSG

#

sorry caps

uncut vault
#

they made the beanies work on gnomes!

#

so uh

#

the horde has a maghar fleet

jovial skiff
#

nnniiiiceee

#

I think including all the different races and their special stuff in the war campaign is great
still waiting on the Vindicaars orbital blast!

#

Maghar tech looks way cooler than goblin tech too

hollow dock
#

it's not mag'har tech. It's goblin tech with orcish flair :p

uncut vault
#

well, all the ships are manned by maghar so

hollow dock
#

Indeed. But the designs are all from the Blackfuse company of goblins. It's their fleet, just not their ships. If that makes any sense.

#

Yes I saw them @sullen dagger as reported by Port and Quiet. I'm happy they took the step in the right direction, but there still is work that needs to be done. Like the Army of the Dark Moon being a legitimate threat (could be they're all elite and you are buffed by a Val'kyr to kill em ala Deathknight starting zone), Sira's little hunt thing on the horde side still does nothing but taunt you from the shadows. Not really a threat there.

uncut vault
#

theres also an alliance fleet, headed by a brand new kul tiran ship model

hollow dock
#

OH! that's an unarmored model that was used for tandrids ship no? Or is it a completely unique one?

uncut vault
#

completely unique, different ship layout from the normal massive ones

hollow dock
#

are they smaller or larger? 0=

uncut vault
#

this one is smaller, less decks

#

but same length and width as the huge ones

hollow dock
#

Then it might be a Destroyer-class vessel.

uncut vault
#

certainly has a lot of cannons

hollow dock
#

THE SUB IS CANON

#

OH that's the dude from the speedbarge

#

@tulip sun will probably be ecstatic to see him used

jovial skiff
#

wasnt the sub already in the war campaing?

hollow dock
#

it was a transport vessel at best. we've not seen them used as actual submarines, sinking vessels and such, and now we do.

#

It's always been implied, but never confirmed so I'm happy with confirmations

#

cuz some people got sticks in their asses about it being confirmed into canon or not

sudden oak
#

I love how even when blizzard listen to feedback people go nuts @uncut vault

tulip sun
#

People just want an overwhelming victory and the other side to be decimated beyond repair

#

Which won't happen, especially with the PC there

hollow dock
#

I'm content on the Val'kyrs boon

meager zodiac
#

nathanial needed 2 flying thotys to survive, wich pleases me

hollow dock
#

and in fact would wan thtat given to the horde PC to make the army of the dark moon actually ya know. seem somewhat threatening. It's what happened in every other situation like this.

tulip sun
#

Makes sense. But it is much better

sudden oak
#

tbh I would like that the Icon of Torment still had the raven in the background

uncut vault
#

I think I’d rather they just have Brynja right alongside us for the quests

#

Instead of only appearing when summoned by the button

hollow dock
#

Just SOMETHING to make the night warrior thing actually matter to more than just tyrande. since it's clearly on the rest of the night elves now.

frozen dust
#

8.1: Tyrande's Fucking Pissed

hollow dock
#

better than the old title at least

#

8.1: Tyrande does fuck all

meager zodiac
#

8.1 "tyrande uses an orc head to please her goddess"

hollow dock
#

can you not

meager zodiac
#

she did tho

#

if you look at wow head there is an orc head floating with her

hollow dock
#

cept there isn't

#

there's no head there.

whole cedar
#

I personally would have liked better if Nathanos died and Brynja had to sacrifice herself to ressurrect Nathanos, but I think it's a step in the right direction

meager zodiac
#

there is tho? look closely

#

to the moon well, there is pool of blood and a head

hollow dock
#

Yea I can see the blood but there's no head. O.o

meager zodiac
#

there is!!!

#

look above! the green thing

#

with braids

#

right aboe the stain of blood on the stone

hollow dock
#

That's grass.

meager zodiac
#

its a head xD

jade basalt
meager zodiac
#

there is a head floating there

hollow dock
#

I still don't see a head, Quiet.

meager zodiac
#

can we make the "find the orc head" a meme

jade basalt
hollow dock
#

Sorry that I'm apparently blind and that needs to be meme'd?

meager zodiac
#

im just kidding

whole cedar
hollow dock
#

Oh now I see it.

#

Thanks Nery, and you Quiet.

meager zodiac
#

there's the head!

jade basalt
#

This reminds me of that quest where you put the flesh of Elune's enemies on an altar to receive a blessing

meager zodiac
#

fresh too

whole cedar
#

yum

#

fresh orc heads

hollow dock
#

How does this mean she used an orc hand to please her goddess?

meager zodiac
#

because its floating with her during a ritual

#

she also says 'with this ofering"

#

the the head is there floating

jade basalt
#

I think it's a clear reference to that quest.

hollow dock
#

The context doesn't reference the head.

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

jade basalt
#

According to ancient legend, this ancient brazier was placed here for the performing of sacrifices. From what little you remember of the stories, a blessing is bestowed upon the being who places the flesh of Elune's enemies on the brazier's burning embers.

They probably remembered this

#

@whole cedar Wondering if you might add that bit to the Wowhead article on Darkshore

#

They replaced the corpse of Astaari (which was next to Delaryn's and Sira's) with the corpses of Ralara, Tavar, and Sarvonis - three characters from the War of the Thorns novellas. This fixes an inconsistency because Astaari was supposed to have been burned on Teldrassil so she couldn't be on Darkshore.

whole cedar
#

I can once I'm back home, yeah 😃 I'm about to go out to sort a few things for my blizzcon flight

#

can you pm me so it doesnt get lost in chat?

jade basalt
#

Done !

whole cedar
#

thank you ❤

hardy hedge
#

Personally my biggest complains were too ingrained in the stort (Ahem. Willing undead nelves) to be saved but I guess this is better than nothing

#

As a Night Elf fan I feel a little offended by Hordiez telling me that "I am never happy"

jade basalt
#

Sira & Delaryn's resurrections are probably not something they could have "fixed", because they visibly have more plans for them - they can't just cut them and scrap the whole future storylines. So this is truly the best that could have been done for the Darkshore questing. What you can expect, however, is further justification for their decisions. Maybe it'll turn out that they are slightly mindcontrolled or brainwashed or influenced or anything, we'll see. It seems Sylvanas plans to do that to Derek actually.

hardy hedge
#

Thats what I meant. They were clearly not going to scrap them but I am happy with what they did

#

They listen to feedback for once

hollow dock
#

I really do hope that itis mind control. They should double down on the whole "Sylvanas is becoming Arthas"

hardy hedge
#

The val'kyr still say they rise willing souls so...

meager zodiac
#

they also stop tyrande and the player in their tracks with mind controll of all things

#

its a bit on the nose.

hollow dock
#

Yea I always doubted the whole "Willing Souls" bit

#

since. in traveler it's outright said that no it's not willing, the forsaken don't have actual free will. Granted it's made for a younger audience, but still is canon

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

meager zodiac
#

and i dont think its ignored that night elfs arent normaly raised, nathanos even says in the start that you listened right and that it is possible to raise kaldorei, that sylvester has plans

hollow dock
#

yea. The reason being is that originally, Val'kyr couldn't raise non-humans

#

without the lich king that is.

#

Seems they fixed that issue. Convenient.

undone trail
hollow dock
#

yes he's rebelling against th horde

#

yes sylvanas wants to kill him

#

and yes you can side with him, against him, or just not take a side

undone trail
#

Don't take this out of context, but I'm with him

hollow dock
#

Cool.

#

You're a traitor =D

undone trail
#

Like my undead warrior from an rp standpoint secretly opposes Sylvanas because he doesn't want more to suffer the same fate as he unwillingly. He's more horde than forsaken if that makes sense

#

So fighting for her is kinda.... ehhhh

hollow dock
#

Not at all. Sylvanas is the warchief. The horde serves the warchief. They are the weapon, shield, and life of the warchief.

#

That's simply how the horde is. Even under Thrall, that's what the hordes motto is

undone trail
#

The horde must balance honor and loyalty. When honor is threatened...I mean we're just going to pretend voljin resisting garrosh never happened?

hollow dock
#

You do realize right

#

Vol'jin against Garrosh

#

isn't the same situation?

#

Garrosh left the horde, took orgrimmar and made the true horde**

#

Garrosh stopped being warchief. That's why that story worked. Sylvanas is still warchief

zealous basalt
#

There is a big chance that the resistance isnt goinf to work either

hollow dock
#

which I sincerly hope it doesn't. This is not a garrosh 2.0. Sylvanas is working for the horde, not against it.

zealous basalt
#

Also

hollow dock
#

People don't like her methods and want her removed. that should alone make the problems of the horde stick out like a sore thumb.

zealous basalt
#

Betraying your warchief just because you dont like it is not honorable at all

#

Her methods are rough but so far it has worked

hollow dock
#

it's worked in favor of the horde

zealous basalt
#

That's what I meant

#

Sylvanas first priority is having the Horde to control all, pushing away sentimentalism

#

And as you noticed, honor can be considered sentimentalism

#

If she would have been a warchief that places Honor over anything

#

Horde would have been utterly defeated in Lordaeron following their "Victory or Death"

hollow dock
#

Same with the broken shore.

muted canopy
#

horde has no space for snowflakes

zealous basalt
#

Which is something I give Sylvanas props

tulip sun
#

@zealous basalt

zealous basalt
#

I wonder why the skirt

#

I honestly wondered why skirts for monks

#

They are throwing kicks, shouldnt that be a little uncomfortable for them?

hollow dock
#

Monks generally have robes or 'skirts' as apart of their clothes.

#

So no.

zealous basalt
#

I just find it weird, unless the robes are ultra maneuverable

frozen dust
#

Can someone tell me what the Saurfang choice is?

zealous basalt
#

You talk with him and zappyboy and go back to Sylvanas telling her a lie that he escaped and killed the ranger

frozen dust
#

Nnnneat

hardy hedge
#

Hey Umbric is corrupting baby raptors and rising trolls

#

Thats more like it

#

I prefer this over the purge vulpera stuff

feral dune
#

they got rid of purging squad?

hardy hedge
#

Not that I know of

#

They just added these

feral dune
#

shame, i would prefer them to get rid of it

#

trying to paint alliance as just evil in order to make horde look less evil is just stupid

#

but so blizzard like

tulip sun
#

I mean

#

Raising trolls and void corrupt8ng baby raptor ie evil e.e

#

Compared to most alliance things it is horrid

hardy hedge
#

Agreed

#

I like it. However

#

I like Alliance leaving their passive stance

#

And acting more like the Horde

hollow dock
#

@feral dune @hardy hedge the purge squad isn't actually a purge squad

#

The allianc side was revealed

#

it's scare tactics

#

they're not actually killing the vulpera.

#

In which, how is he doing necromancy? @hardy hedge

feral dune
#

they are trying to scare vulpera to persuade them not to join horde?

hollow dock
#

Yup. basically.

feral dune
#

neat

hollow dock
#

It's just to scare them out of Vol'dun and make sure they can't reinforce the horde

#

Which fails but sets up Sethrak for the alliance

#

as the Vulpera have had it with the alliance and sethrak.

hollow dock
#

alright. None of that is what I had inquired about

#

which is you saying he's rising trolls

hardy hedge
hollow dock
#

OK great

#

this outright proves what I've been saying

#

void and death don't care about each other

winged heron
#

whoever writes these raising dead plots: are u okay

hollow dock
#

Why say that?

winged heron
#

hm?

hollow dock
#

It's a smart choice in terms of tactics and breaking the enemy in open combat

winged heron
#

nah i can’t take this that seriously

#

interesting for sure nod nod

hardy hedge
#

I don't think it's that bad

hollow dock
#

It really isn't.

hardy hedge
#

For once I like that the Alliance is manning up and stepping in to get their hands dirty

#

The Horde had no mercy with them and it's only fair to give them the same treatment

hollow dock
#

Granted that the horde still does worse but eh.

hardy hedge
#

(I don't mean it literally. An eye for an eye is not okay but.)

winged heron
#

for sure i like that part but it’s amusing to see such being a theme so frequently

hollow dock
#

Obv, Chara.

#

You do know that everything circulating WoW is fake right? We're allowed the freedom think abnormally to real life when discussing a fantasy world

hardy hedge
#

I am aware

winged heron
#

dude relax

hollow dock
#

I am?

hardy hedge
#

I just make the anotation because there is always someone who like, keeps track of those and brings it up when debating

zealous basalt
#

I like this

hardy hedge
#

Like "Wooow when the Horde does something bad you get mad but when the Alliance does you don't mind!"

zealous basalt
#

This is what í expext the void elves to do

winged heron
#

lol chara ikr

zealous basalt
#

Well, not really but Umbric's explanation about physiological war

hollow dock
#

Commit more necromancy so that people can stop taking the Alleria comic as canon that the void hates death?

hardy hedge
#

In all fairness

#

The Void didn't say it hated Death there

#

It said Sylvanas was a threat

hollow dock
#

It called it the true enemy.

#

Which is what everyone takes

#

and keeps spreading

#

despite the fact that void whispers are always personalized. and Alleria hates the horde. The warchief being her true enemy. >:

winged heron
#

i mean why defend any argument
how do u predict the story at this point

hardy hedge
#

I rather took that explanation as in, the Void wasn't the one who put Sylvanas in charge

#

Or a Void related entity

zealous basalt
#

Would love to see Alleria brutalizing orcs tbh

hollow dock
#

^

#

Pls

hardy hedge
#

I want to see Night Warriors brutalizing orcs

zealous basalt
#

Those too

hollow dock
#

Have her "Rip and Tear"™ through some horde

zealous basalt
#

But Alleria more

#

Use her void powers to explode them from within

hardy hedge
#

That sounds like Tyrande

zealous basalt
#

And then have her sitting on a pile being all bored

winged heron
#

grant every race Cannibalism

hollow dock
#

I still want my night warriors on the horde scenario to be elites and you have to get buffed or have the val'kyr weaken them to show power.

#

Don't have to be cannibals to brutalize enemy combatants, Apostate

zealous basalt
#

Brutalize is just being rough with them

#

In fact

hollow dock
#

Or ripping them apart.

#

decapitations

#

etc

zealous basalt
#

Cannibalism is not a good way to brutalize

hollow dock
#

just being brutal

zealous basalt
#

Just being metal

hollow dock
#

Think like Doom 2016.

winged heron
#

thank you for clarifying that was what i needed

hardy hedge
#

Yeah just go Goblin Slayer

hollow dock
#

that's being brutal

hardy hedge
#

On them

hollow dock
#

^

hardy hedge
#

Orc Slayer

zealous basalt
#

Or Berserk

#

But yeah

#

Idk why but they seem to forget that alleria loathes orcs

hollow dock
#

they haven't

#

but they haven't put her on the battlefield yet

#

so

zealous basalt
#

I can imagine

#

Her just listening to stories about the battle

hardy hedge
#

Hopefully she will be

#

For the Blood Elf vs Draenei one

hollow dock
#

She'll be at the gates of Silvermoon.

#

Laying Siege to it

winged heron
#

😮

zealous basalt
#

I want at least to be an Easter egg in some part of Zuldazar

#

Or an incursion

hollow dock
#

we still don't have the alliance incursion of Nazmir right?

hardy hedge
#

Anyway after the Three Sisters comic I want to believe N'Zoth isn't the one supporting Sylvanas

hollow dock
#

I don't think support is the right word for it

#

Since the old gods support nothing but themselves.

zealous basalt
#

You would think N'zoth would support Alleria more

hollow dock
#

not really

#

Alleria is competition

hardy hedge
#

He may be taking advantage but he isn't masterminding it

hollow dock
#

not an ally

hardy hedge
#

Like he wasn't the one who whispered Sylvanas's name to Vol'jin

zealous basalt
#

Oh yeah I remember

hollow dock
#

I still think he was.

#

Because it destablizes the world

#

makes his job easier

zealous basalt
#

In a vision she killed N'zoth and became the og void lord

hollow dock
#

and it's not like the horde will be hard to beat if they win.

hardy hedge
#

I get the impression that even the Void is afraid of Sylvanas

#

Not of Death, but of Sylvanas

hollow dock
#

That's such an incorrect impression which I guarantee is from the alleria comic

hardy hedge
#

Yes

winged heron
#

what’s azshara up to

hollow dock
#

The void can wipe her out of existence they have no reason to fear her

winged heron
#

ofc

hollow dock
#

Azshara is setting up everything that's been going on in hte background

hardy hedge
#

Well, yeah

#

Supossedly

#

But it's Blizzard

zealous basalt
#

I remember

hollow dock
#

Ashvane's coup, the corruption of the tidesages

hardy hedge
#

So I don't trust power-levels

zealous basalt
#

Before Pre patch

hollow dock
#

that's all canonically Azshara

#

Chara.

#

A fragment of a void lord slipped into our reality

zealous basalt
#

Everyone was "it wasnt sylvanas"

hollow dock
#

it blew up a planet and made the ethereals into what they are today

hardy hedge
#

I know,Des

hollow dock
#

and that was a fragment

hardy hedge
#

Why do you think I don't know lore?

#

xDDDDDDDDd

hollow dock
#

Because you doubt that the void can easily wipe her aside.

#

We are insignificant gnats in the grand war of Light vs Void

hardy hedge
#

I roleplay a Shadow Priest. I know my Void lore

#

Well, not insignificant gnats. We are the defenders of the last titan

zealous basalt
#

What guarantees that she will be pure

winged heron
#

the question is why feel the need to condescend talking about bfa writing of all things but what do i know

hardy hedge
#

Not much but it's not like there is another option

hollow dock
#

Still gnats. In the grand scheme of it all, should the void focus its efforts onto Azeroth, we'd certainly lose.

hardy hedge
#

I don't think so. We won against the Legion who supossedly could conquer countless worlds in countless alternative universes

#

That was infinite

#

And we even beat a titan

#

So like

zealous basalt
#

At what cost

hardy hedge
#

We are no longer friendly neighbor adventurer

#

(Yes I know there was outside help)

winged heron
#

jasjshhsass murlocs

hardy hedge
#

My point is that power-levels mean nothing to Blizzard. If they want to make the Void fear Sylvanas, even if it's ilogical

#

They will

winged heron
#

^

hardy hedge
#

Like they made her survive more than an attosecond against Malfurion

#

And if we don't remember them, they would have made Nathanos keep up with Night Warrior Tyrande

Now I realy want an updated video of darkshore, with all the voice files already working

zealous basalt
#

Noes

#

Wait for the final build

misty blaze
#

i dont want sylvanas of jaina to die

#

Honestly, if you arent already testing, its best to wait for live IMO, fully polished and a fresh, natural experience

restive yacht
#

Guys, I don't know if I'm missing something or if it's just a placeholder but, what is lore behind Jania being last boss for BOTH factions? Why does ally want to kill her?

hollow dock
#

OK so

zealous basalt
#

Its called

hollow dock
#

halfway through each raid

#

you swap factions

#

You hear the story through the other faction.

#

Alliance fights their way to Rasta

#

the raid ends for them

#

alliance players hear what happened with the escape and playa s the horde players

#

while horde players make their way to rasta and do that part of the raid then push their way to jaina

zealous basalt
#

It's just a flashback moment for both factions

#

Heavily biased too

jade basalt
hollow dock
#

eeeeeeeeeeeeee!

jade basalt
#

Quite a few could be heritage armor 😛

restive yacht
#

Thanks friends :) so horde is only one fighting Jania

#

?*

hollow dock
#

No

restive yacht
#

Oh sorry lmao

hollow dock
#

Both sides are fighting it. All alliance and horde members end up fighting jaina. But as "horde"

restive yacht
#

Ohhhhhhh

#

Thank you so mucj

hollow dock
#

Think like caverns of time

#

where you're race swapped

restive yacht
#

Right okay

hollow dock
#

for that portion of the raid

restive yacht
#

Thanks a ton

hollow dock
#

np

zealous basalt
#

But you are really changed

#

btw did you see that table of conversions, Des?

#

Humans go dead

#

minus paladins

#

they go belves

#

OH

#

SURPRIS

#

PANDAREN GO PANDAREN

#

#

Worgen go troll

#

Pandaren go pandaren

#

Lmao

#

So surprising, isn't it?

tulip sun
#

Ebonhornnnnn

zealous basalt
#

Is he paying his respects?

tulip sun
#

No

#

Aiding in finding voljin

zealous basalt
#

Oh

#

no F's?

tulip sun
#

It's true

#

He aids in summoning him or something

zealous basalt
#

No F = no interest

tulip sun
#

Oh, I honestly didn't know what it meant

zealous basalt
#

dah

calm hawk
#

So hes close to Mayla yes. And she is Horde. So he aids the horde? As a horde black dragon?

zealous basalt
#

Yep

#

blinks

#

stares

#

Waait a second

#

Wasn't he supposed to not be able to get out Highmountain?

#

@tulip sun @uncut vault

uncut vault
#

he was

#

but the thing keeping him there is dead

#

we kill it in the acquisition

zealous basalt
#

O

tulip sun
#

Yup

#

And he is Horde

uncut vault
#

one of the reasons Ive been rooting for Alliance-aligned wrathion, gives both sides an active, powerful black dragon

zealous basalt
#

Well that would be interesting

#

the alliance black dragons calling bs on the others for allying with the orcs

tulip sun
#

I like Ebonhorn

uncut vault
#

alliance players become t his to fight the blood elves

jovial skiff
#

become this?

#

interesting

#

tidesages transform you

jovial skiff
#

🤔

zealous basalt
#

that armor is so sick

silk sable
#

wheres muh cuffs

jovial coral
#

You'd think there should be different armors sometimes for male and female

meager zodiac
#

that water elemental model is amazing and im happy is used for more than evil

#

this ptr build keeps on giving

hardy hedge
#

Give us that water elemental for every water elemental

zealous basalt
#

I think

#

There are glyphs

#

For those

#

Iirc

uncut vault
#

not that one in particular

zealous basalt
#

How are the others?

uncut vault
#

one turns into the blue version of the current elemental that Jaina has been using, the other gives us the WoD model that the tidesages use

ZANDALAAAARRRIIII

meager zodiac
#

I love those side by side staring contexts

#

Both the art and allied races

tulip sun
#

Ohhh

#

I love the art of 2 ARs fighting

#

First a Highmountain and Void Elf

#

Then a Maghar and Dark iron

#

I want more

#

Nightborne vs Lightforged xD

meager zodiac
#

I want a tyrande vs nathanos for the darkshore warfront like the profile stare downs

Tyrande isn't in the warfrony itself though

that's for the uh

#

Incursion

hollow dock
#

Alliance incursion on

#

Zandalar

tulip sun
#

Void elves corrupt raptors

#

Baby ones if I recall

hollow dock
#

Where the Void Elves start to turn the Raptors into void Raptors

tulip sun
#

To create a huge dino void monster

#

Something to that affect e.e

hollow dock
#

They also do necromancy and raise the Zandalari dead to demoralize em

mystic heart
#

is it new?

hollow dock
#

I mean. It's as new as the incursions themselves are?

mystic heart
#

kk is it new questline in 8.1? 😄

hollow dock
#

No.

#

It's apart of the incursions.

#

The mini-world event where they invade a land.

mystic heart
#

ah kk
cuz i don't pass all quests 😄

tulip sun
#

It is defiantly...

#

Morally questionable

hollow dock
#

it isn't.

#

It really isn't.

#

Raising the dead and void corrupting some wildlife with the exclusive reason of demoralizing combatants is really not evil or even morally questionable. The horde has gone to lengths far worse in this war.

tulip sun
#

Just because horde has done it doesn't make it automatically better e.e

#

It still is bad.

hollow dock
#

they did worse.

tulip sun
#

That doesn't really matter with what we are discussing.

#

Void corrupting and using that power to raise bodies is still bad no matter what.

hollow dock
#

And yet deathknights aren't persecuted nor are shadow priests nor the void elves.

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

sudden oak
#

no death knights are just treated as monsters and shadow priests as madmans

hollow dock
#

Except they're not

#

As seen Legion, they're fairly just there. Same as well before. They're even allies to most groups.

#

Almost like the magic itself can't be evil, and only those who wield it can be evil.

zealous basalt

"OH GOD ALLIANCE DID STUFF WITH VOID ANS CORPSES REEEE THEY CANT DO ANYTHING LIKE THAT REEE HORDE ONLY CAN DO IT REEEE"

#
  • Kham in a nutshell
#

It's a war you donut

meager zodiac
#

They aren’t bringing them back from the dead just using their bodies as a vessel for their powers

tulip sun
#

I didn't say they can't do it

#

I love it

zealous basalt
#

Who cares if Alliance is purging Vulpera or if they are raising unanimated corpses

tulip sun
#

But don't pretend it isn't somewhat on the bad side.

zealous basalt
#

Its psychological war

meager zodiac
#

It’s like making a stone construct

zealous basalt
#

Of bones

meager zodiac
#

And flesh

zealous basalt
#

And raptors

meager zodiac
#

It’s cruel but it’s not like the zandalari collect the heads of their enemies

#

Oh wait!

hollow dock
#

but it's not bad? They're doing it in the name of, once more, ending a war the horde started.

junior prairie
#

intact night elf head from...a troll child 🤔

terse patrol
#

Ugh, if they’re making void elves more like Warhammer dark elves, I’d dig it. Give me void raptor mounts.

meager zodiac
#

i kinda want a huge void stalker

#

their hunter pets, but big, silly and armored

zealous basalt
#

Wtb void related mounts

#

like the velves

#

Who said that

hollow dock
#

OH

#

like the void chicken

zealous basalt
#

Ye

#

Ey des

#

Just like horde seem to take our mounts

#

We can take raptors

#

Void them

hollow dock
#

exactly

zealous basalt
#

Actually

#

goes to forums to write petition about void related mounts

#

OH

#

You know what else?

hollow dock
#

the void talon of the dark star

zealous basalt
#

Lightforged frost wolves

meager zodiac
#

im not saying raptors

#

im saying huge lizzards, like the void stalker

zealous basalt
#

And I'm saying raptors too

meager zodiac
hollow dock
#

you may not

#

but we are

meager zodiac
#

that would also be cool, i admit

jade basalt
meager zodiac
#

holy that looks scary

zealous basalt
#

....wow

tulip sun
#

Des

#

The reasoning means shat

#

What they do is bad, no matter why they are doing it

zealous basalt
#

Wowc

tulip sun
#

What?

#

I never said what Sylvanas is doing is good

zealous basalt
#

Not that

#

Ze reactions

#

More like wok

hollow dock
#

Who's to judge what is bad? the people taking it? the people giving it? We had a long discussion about how good and bad don't really exist in the long run.

The alliance is responding to the horde as they were told. And the horde kept bombing and killing civilians to beat the alliance while they in turn are having their combatants killed by magic.

tulip sun
#

Your really defending anything the alliance does. By that logic the Horde's actions could easily be spun to be good because who is to judge?

hollow dock
#

Well the only ones to judge are the kids they burned.

zealous basalt
#

You cant just defend horde, Kham

#

Alliance arent reviving the raptors

#

They find them dead, taken by nature

#

Which is different of what horde does

#

Think about it

hollow dock
#

Context won't matter to Kham, so just be as ridiculous as they're being.

#

They refuse to see their precious horde as the evil guys.

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

tulip sun
#

I already said the actions are pretty bad. But the Horde's actions do not suddenly justify all this stuff the alliance is doing(void corruption and attacking vulpera).

strange falcon
#

i fully understand horde is the evil guys in this expac,and i absolutely dont care,because i like my tauren e.e

hollow dock
#

and that's fine

zealous basalt
#

...

#

Kham

#

Kham

#

Forget it

#

Lets just them

#

Let horde step on Alliance

#

Without them retaliating

#

That's what you mean, right?

tulip sun
#

I am not saying that

tropic trail
#

I think you’re reading way far into what he’s saying.

zealous basalt
#

Justifications aren't needed

tulip sun
#

I am saying that the void corruption is still bad no matter the situation

zealous basalt
#

They arent

#

Corrupting anything

tropic trail
#

It’s still morally bad, irregardless of justifiability

zealous basalt
#

So what?

hollow dock
#

How is it morally bad? Is my question.

zealous basalt
#

Morally good things doesnt win the war

hollow dock
#

As in, by what standards and what definitions?

tropic trail
#

Raising the dead is considered bad, isn’t it?

zealous basalt
#

They

#

Arent raising

#

The dead

hollow dock
#

Not really. Raising the dead is a means to an end.

#

They are Mak.

tropic trail
#

They’re literally using their skeletons

zealous basalt
#

Des

hollow dock
#

Mak the dialogue box from Umbric specifically states they're raising the dead.

zealous basalt
#

There is a difference of pulling a soul and cchain it to your will

hollow dock
#

the zandalari aren't used to fighting the dead.

zealous basalt
#

And reanimating a corpse without any soul and use it as a puppet

hollow dock
#

Oh they're doing the second?

zealous basalt
#

Yes

#

Read it again

hollow dock
#

Oh. I'll be damned.

#

They are just animating the dead. Not fully raising them.

zealous basalt
#

Yes

#

And that's different than the first one

#

And honestly if you are a horde

#

And say the first is really bad

#

Let me remember you that your warchief does that

hollow dock
#

She does it quite often actually

tropic trail
#

It’s still necromantic in nature, like raising ghouls and skeletons, so it isn’t morally correct. Obviously Sylvanas has done worse, but her doing something even worse morally doesn’t make it any less immoral.

tulip sun
#

So this isn't bad is it?

#

Just animating skeletons?

hollow dock
#

Again my questions were not answered.

zealous basalt
#

It's a more common practice

#

Than you two imagine

hollow dock
#

By what morals do you regard them against?

tropic trail
#

It’s not as bad as binding their souls to their will, that’s for sure

tulip sun
#

🤔 How do you feel about sylvanas animating those skeletons?

hollow dock
#

Is it just as "Evil" and "morally corrupt" to create golems?

tulip sun
#

In the battle

hollow dock
#

What about using Elementals?

tropic trail
#

Real human morals.

zealous basalt
#

They are just skeletons

#

....

hollow dock
#

These aren't real humans

zealous basalt
#

Our real human morals

hollow dock
#

or humans in general

zealous basalt
#

Are idiotic tbh

hollow dock
#

So why apply something that isn't a similar thing?

zealous basalt
#

And Kham

tropic trail
#

I feel like you’re being argumentative just for the sake of it.

zealous basalt
#

Honestly for that part?

#

I didnt feel bad

hollow dock
#

I'm not

zealous basalt
#

They are just reanimated skeletons

hollow dock
#

I'm developing the discussion.

#

If animating a body to move and fight is bad

#

does that mean that using elements, golems, etc

#

are just as bad?

meager zodiac
#

its vicious and more moraly grey not what it is

#

but their intentions

#

its specificly made to create trauma mixing corpses, void and their precious pets to terrorize the zandalari

#

its not more evil than an stone construct, but it is a vicious tactic

#

i dont mind it

tropic trail
#

If it binds a spirit against its will. then I would say so. It just doesn’t get seen like that because necromancy is so frowned upon in lore

tulip sun
#

Poor Gonk too

hollow dock
#

Necromancy is frowned upon because of the evil people who use it.

zealous basalt
#

I would call it shadowmancy

tulip sun
#

Alliance angering the Loa xD

zealous basalt
#

They are invincible

#

Arent*

#

So

meager zodiac
#

i dont think there is anything of the soul

zealous basalt
#

Stop trying to backup your precious horde Kham

meager zodiac
#

the void doenst need a soul to corrupt, it probably fuels the empty corpse

hollow dock
#

It's literally just an empty husk. Much like what the Farraki Trolls do to animate their dead.

meager zodiac
#

like if a person is a glass

hollow dock
#

Make husks and dredges.

meager zodiac
#

and dying is droping all its water on the groud

zealous basalt
#

It's more shadowmancy than necromancy

meager zodiac
#

then necromancy is picking hte water that is dirty nad putting it back on the glass

tropic trail
#

It’s done via shadow, but necromantic in nature by utilizing the dead for it

meager zodiac
#

this seems like droping extreme acid that makes the cup grow am

#

arms

tropic trail
#

Definitely not the same as actual necromancy, though.

tulip sun
#

I am defending anything e.e

zealous basalt
#

I dont mind it

#

Yes

olive wigeon
#

any news about warrior tanks?

tropic trail
#

I think it’s a cool thing to see in the story

hollow dock
#

They're more of the same.

zealous basalt
#

You 100% defend your Horde like a zealot

tropic trail
#

Alliance stepping over the boundary of 100% good for once

zealous basalt
#

Someone had to do it

remote urchin
#

o.o

tropic trail
#

The void elves suit that boundary well with, y’know, the void

hollow dock
#

It's not really an evil thing. It's just terror tactics. Doesn't even disturb the dead.

meager zodiac
#

its basicaly filling the now useless and empty remains

#

with a powerfull force that copies what it once was

zealous basalt
#

They are tools of the ground

meager zodiac
#

and gives it something more

tropic trail
#

I don’t think the spirit of that Dino would be too happy seeing it’s skeleton rampaging the streets to be honest

zealous basalt
#

So what?

hollow dock
#

Yea but the spirit is left alone to do as it will.

tropic trail
#

It is still disrupting the dead

zealous basalt
#

They are bones

hollow dock
#

I don't see how. The dead are in their own realm independent of ours.

zealous basalt
#

It would be the same if Horde did it with the skeletons of the fallen

hollow dock
#

They're not bound to that body. Nor are they bound to this world by some curse. So how would those that die in nature be ya know.

#

Disturbed?

zealous basalt
#

Reanimated corpses just to fight

#

Its not really evil, you are just using something that was left behind

hollow dock
#

it's like making a flesh golem.

tropic trail
#

Eh, you obviously don’t get it so I’m not even going to try to explain

hollow dock
#

Actually no

#

that's a bad example

#

flesh golems exist and are horrific things

zealous basalt
#

Its not.like. I dont get it

#

I get it

#

Its just

#

My own morals tell me that isnt bad

#

So...comparing to irl morals is just being stupid

tropic trail
#

Different groups have different sets of morals

remote urchin
#

Can people not accept both factions do questionable things or something?

zealous basalt
#

Yes

#

And idc

#

They dont feed me or anything

hollow dock
#

We can when it's actually questionable.

tropic trail
#

In most circles, disturbing a grave is a crime

zealous basalt
#

Yes

#

And idc

#

Neither a game would

remote urchin
#

...Right, yeah I'm not gonna argue either :P People are a bit fanatical here

hollow dock
#

But when its not, or weak attempts to be evil, not really.

#

This is far from fanatical.

tropic trail
#

Hense why it’s generally considered immoral. Especially among the groups in the lore.

hollow dock
#

Being an allied race discord leader, you should know that :p

zealous basalt
#

Trying to get this topic to irl (with how the sensibility of the people is nowadays) is dumb

tropic trail
#

You may not view it that way, but more people will.

zealous basalt
#

So?

tulip sun
#

Ar discords are much more tame

remote urchin
#

Just saying things how I see it is all. I personally disagree and thing the Alliance are also doing questionable things, and yes, this includes raising the dead with void energy.

zealous basalt
#

All bodies without souls are tools for an end

hollow dock
#

It's just never explained how

tropic trail
#

Both sides do highly questionable things at times

hollow dock
#

other than it moves a body.

zealous basalt
#

Now

#

Its questionable?

#

Maybe

#

Should we care for it?

#

No

#

It's a war

remote urchin
#

To be fair, I don't think what Sylv is doing is right either

#

Yeah

#

Good point

#

Either way it's gonna happen

#

I think it's cool on either side

zealous basalt
#

And if Alliance needs to slaughter and genocide all orcs or everyone in the world

#

Just to win a war

#

They will do it

#

Same with Horde

tropic trail
#

I doubt they’d do that

remote urchin
#

I don't doubt they will

#

Hah

zealous basalt
#

It's a fucking example

remote urchin
#

I don't though, especially night elves

tropic trail
#

😛

zealous basalt
#

What I mean is

tropic trail
#

Now the night elves, oh they’re out for blood

zealous basalt
#

Stfu and gtfo with "morally questionable"

hollow dock
#

They're especially out for blood

#

but still don't do anything "morally" wrong as you place it.

zealous basalt
#

Honestly though

#

People talking and arguing about "morale"

tropic trail
#

I just don’t think the alliance as a whole would completely eradicate the horde, doing that would kinda break the game

zealous basalt
#

In a game of war

#

Like honestly

#

Morals wont win a war

tropic trail
#

Morale and morals are two different things xD

remote urchin
#

By that logic, what Sylv did was perfectly sound though...

zealous basalt
#

And either both

#

You arent going to win a war being "nice"

tropic trail
#

Of course

hollow dock
#

I mean mak you are absolving the horde at this point

zealous basalt
#

Alliance and horde are fighting for survival

tropic trail
#

You have to do shit to win a fight

zealous basalt
#

Des

#

I never cared about the term "Morally Grey"

#

I am, a Sylvanas follower in that aspect

hollow dock
#

You're saying they were right though.

zealous basalt
#

You need to do shit, bad shit even, to win

#

Like she said to Saurfang

#

Honor wont save anything

#

I would look biased due main

#

But honestly?

#

Both sides do what they need to do in order to win

#

I'm not one for sentimentalism

#

If I were a Horde soldier

#

Survival is more important than Honor

#

And if people are sensible for the decisions made in a game? Too bad for them

junior prairie
#

except sylvanas has led the horde to ruin, even if she is "gaining" victories Anduin open his arms to sylvanas offering that, it's just that when she saw forsaken running to Alliance literally scared of the crazy undead physcopathic banshee she did...exactly what they was running for

#

and then obviously everything since

sudden oak
#

they were running to the alliance to defect

#

not because they were scared of Sylvanas

#

when they saw her and the dark rangers killing the defecting forsaken they just ran even faster

uncut vault
#

darkshore warfront requires 335

sudden oak
#

arathi was 320? right

uncut vault
#

Yes

dense plover
#

why is it there twice?

sudden oak
#

surely a bug I guess

dense plover
#

but like

#

oh wait

#

its probably because they removed the ilvl restriction from it for testing

#

so there are 2 versions essentially

sudden oak
#

that too

dense plover
#

and theyll just remove the test version

uncut vault
#

well, my character has 365 😛 I think its just a graphical bug, havent coded it to actually show only if you dont have high enough ilvl

dense plover
#

that also sounds plausible

tulip sun
#

Huh

#

Nice

#

335 isn't hard at app

#

All

sudden oak
#

btw im not sure if it was here but someone said brynja got voice lines right?

dense plover
#

there are files

#

but i think they are empty

sudden oak
#

rip

#

I really wanted to hear a Valkyrs voice

uncut vault
#

she has them

#

theyre nice

sudden oak
#

I think the only time we heard it it was in wrath from annhylde I think?

#

@uncut vault mind linking them if you can?

uncut vault
#

Svala Sorrowgrave also had lines

#

dunno if any channel has them, Ive just heard them in game

hollow dock
#

All valkyr sound the same

#

You can go run HoV if you want to hear "updated" ones

#

since there's a boss one there

uncut vault
sudden oak
#

oh my she sounds really nice

tulip sun
#

She see tho

#

Ded

sudden oak
#

now I wonder who will be the other unknow Val'kyr

#

since we know the other 2 are Kyra and Sygne

remote urchin
#

Hmm I wonder what ilevel darkshore drops then

#

Probably 355

uncut vault
#

non-pandaren huojin are a thing now, nightborne and darkspear trolls too

zealous basalt
#

hax

#

probably the monks?

uncut vault
#

mhm

zealous basalt
#

So

#

Alliance would be tushui?

tulip sun
#

Ya

#

I love that

#

Shows Ji is training more than pandaren

uncut vault
#

interesting ancient used by a bunch of night warrior sentinels

tulip sun
#

Used for what??

uncut vault
#

sieging bwonsamdi's temple

zealous basalt
#

for war ofc

tulip sun
#

O.O

#

SIEGING VWONSAMDI?@?@

#

Are they insame

hollow dock
#

so the darkshore stuff happens

tulip sun
#

Insane*

hollow dock
#

before the incursions

#

on the timeline

uncut vault
#

Yes

#

theres the chance incursions are a week 2 thing

tulip sun
#

I find it fascinating that Huojin play a large part in Nazmir incursions

#

I really do like it

#

The first time they really aid the faction in a significant thing

dense plover
#

so those are actually the new ancient models

#

they are essentially HD warcraft 3 ancients

zealous basalt
#

no

uncut vault
#

druids are cultivating a more living ancient of war elsewhere in the zone

uncut vault
#

though, these druids also have night warrior eyes, so Im curious what makes the other one so deathly looking

dense plover
#

i think its asleep

#

or rooted

#

"Root
BTNRoot.png
Burrows the Ancient's roots into the ground, rendering it immobile, but allowing it to build units.
Also gives the Ancient Fortified armor."

uncut vault
#

the one by bwonsamdi's temple? Nah its actively sieging the place

dense plover
#

oh

#

hmmmm

#

maybe the green one is rooted?

#

idk

uncut vault
#

being healed, horde player plagues it before the druids can fully heal it

#

but there are other attacking ones in the vicinity who are also very vibrant

dense plover
#

interesting

uncut vault
#

another interesting thing, there are priestesses who use wrath and moonfire

#

OG wrath with the green lightning

zealous basalt
#

beard

uncut vault
#

Starfire too

tulip sun
#

Hm...

#

So it is Nightborne, Huojin and blood elves versus night elves?

uncut vault
#

gnomes, and SI:7 alongside nelfs

night swift
#

who are the end bosses on horde for darkshore?
