    I started with Horde back in Vanilla because of the noble savage aspect. Cata, MoP, and WoD were massive WTF moments for me with their storylines, and I know that there are more than a few players who are in a similar boat (There was a massive outcry from the Horde side during each of those events).

    As for Sylvanas, it's not like she wouldn't have reason to be mad at the Alliance given the attempt to assassinate her with the Alliance flagship.

    For the years before I quit, and again since I've resubbed, I've played the game largely to relax and enjoy the games aesthetic - it's still by far my favourite 'van-tasy'* world. My characters are dwarfs, and I set them up as a small sort of craftsmen guild I guess? I don't RP as such, but I suppose I put a lot of time into transmog and gaining titles which work towards this reverie.

    I've never been that up to date with the storyline for two reasons; 1 - since I've never been at the forefront of questing/progression, it's just kind of the backdrop to my own little world. 2 - I feel, as others have mentioned in this thread, that the leap to outer space (BC) was too soon, and the subsequent power leaps between enemies are just silly. I therefore stopped worrying about a coherent storyline.

    I'd love to see more character customisation options, and maybe a more complex and involving professions system, but generally I don't really care what comes next.

    With regards to PVP being fun or not, I always quite enjoyed the big pitched battles - early world PVP, AV, Wintergrasp, Tol Barad etc. It's hard to get pissy about class balance when you're in the middle of huge melee. I feel this should have been the direction of PVP, and by trying to balance both sides (little and large scale) have made a never ending rod for their own backs.



    *Vantasy, fantasy that would look sweet airbrushed on the side of a van. I'm sure I heard this time on PA first, but I can't for the life of me remember when.

    On stuff, best comment on Reddit so far:
    As a Horde, Sylvanas, please, can I just fucking enjoy my well-earned respite from fighting the goddamn Legion and the RNG gods? This tier of raiding has been fucking brutal on my sanity.

    I still hear the voices in my sleep.

    soak goddamnit!

    You have received Depleted Azsharan Seal

    lol new guy got his BiS legendary from afking in LFR today, isn't that the one you've been grinding for?

    Last night my roomie and I, who both skipped out on Legion, decided to have a look at the tier armor designs that came out for the expansion. I've gotta say, Priests and Druids came out way ahead of every other class in this department.

    Edit - Especially the druid tier 19, holy shit those feathers.

    Looks like the name of the expansion was found via trademark.

    Unless it is another game, it's legit. There was other proof as entering something similar as a page name on the wow main site has a redirect programmed.

    Seen tons of the bull stuff, this one is likely legit. Especially this close to it happening.

    Also seems to fit the theme people are seeing entering the building now.

    The Dark Below was a legit expansion name, but for Destiny.

  • Kai_SanKai_San Commonly known as Klineshrike! Registered User regular
    Except this has " azeroth" in the name so it's a little more obvious

  • reVersereVerse Attack and Dethrone God Registered User regular
    Could be Hearthstone or Warcraft 4 or mobile thing.

    Hope you are around in about an hour to see who was right :)

    We can both be sad when it turns out to be a mobile clicker game!

    Obviously,
    the first is going to be a mobile Clash of Clans clone.

    God that first one is so bad

    And the second one is bad, for different reasons

    Oh Actually, based on tree stage design and those two names speculation is that it could be a remake or rerelease of wc and that would be one of the names. That makes a lot of sense.

    I sure hope those are other things because those are both the worst, most generic shit ever.

    It's like Cataclysm, they spent resources on the old world and the new expansion areas suffer as a result.

  • bowenbowen How you doin'? Registered User regular
    oh shit

    I'm excited about this.

    not a doctor, not a lawyer, examples I use may not be fully researched so don't take out of context plz, don't @ me

    This explains why they've been coming down harder on private servers lately.

    Yeah I expect that feature to flop, frankly. Case of players being terrible judges of what they actually want

    I can't wait until people complain that they should have made the servers TBC instead, or WOTLK, or patch 1.8 instead of 1.10

    Ugh Christ they're doubling down on that "Broken Shore was a betrayal" bullshit that everyone except Greymane knows is nonsense.

    SUB RACES Y'ALL

    yeah Moose Tauren, I'm race changing.

    Battle for Azeroth is a pretty uninspired name though.

    Oh cool, an open world PvP focused expansion, that's just what everyone wanted.

    This'll be amazing on all those realms with 10 to 1 faction balance.

    i like the new jaina model.

    aside from that it's all just kinda whatever, didn't really announce much except new continents and new dungeons/raids which was pretty obvious.
