so what if the aliances got mixed up to good and evil with no more race or class limitations? well class to race limitations is fine.
but, ya.
I remember WC1 and WC2 where humans good, orcs bad. oh the good old days where we didn't need to rewrite the story 50 times just to make money.
@Dave Warren: Not the only game. Final Fantasy 14 is still going strong as a subscription based game. And, being much newer than WoW, it's not because of inertia.
Hey let’s do this from now on, let’s go into a movie and only watch 5 minutes of it. Then go home and blog on the ending and character development. Take to social media about how I could write or direct a better story and have the clairvoyance to see the end. That seems like a great idea.
After that new Cinematic, I guess she is going to put on a whole set of Horde clothing.
Also, I hope Jo adresses the fact that Zappy Boi got some spotlight.
@Marios Andreou: Used to be ALL MMOs were about that price. WoW is one of the only MMOs, if not THE only MMO, that can still pull off a subscription-only modle of business, and it's only because of inertia and players being time-invested in the game.
i would play world of warcraft if it was not so ridiculusly expensive.
130+ euros per year is too much money.
i am surprised how a game this expensive has passed the test of time.
@Jo Pereira: I feel like a lot of these 'heel turns' in WoW are basically due to Blizzard's attempts to make both factions attractive, but due to their inability to create mutually likeable leaders, the factions just take turns being jerks, hence the Varian-Garrosh-Staghelm-Sylvanas spiral.
Can't say I'm shocked. This is the same Blizzard who took the Varian Wrynn from the comics, who was like Conan The Barbarian with Batman's personality, and reduced him to "RAAR KILL THE GREENSKINS" within 6 months of his ingame introduction.
You deserve to feel bad if you care at all about Warcraft lore at this point. If you give Blizzard attention and/or money, you are a bad person. The only reason to follow them at all is to laugh derisively at them for their failures.
The Horde were almost always the evil faction if anyone followed the lore... Those saying this was too much conveniently ignore the Mana Bomb on Theramore, or the Plague Bombing during Wrath on the assault at the gate... Not to mention a whole damn pile of things seen with the Forsaken and Trolls.
@Frank Rijckx: You could organize an in-game event with people and try to turn it into a flashmob, so it is remembered like the Currupted Blood Outbreak, or the Great Gnome March. >3>
Come together and spit on Sylvanas in the Undercity or something, so people doing the quest can see the reaction.
Where was Gondor... I mean Baine, Tauren Druids and pretty much the majority of sane people of the Horde? I know that Saurfang kind-of protested somwhere, but it is known only from the books and not the game, which is a very unpleasant marketing move.
Played the story so far as both Alliance and Horde.
I felt dirty playing as Horde. I am really thinking about either deleting my Horde toons or faction change them.
Horde is getting worse and worse. No longer the cool underdog that wants to survive but the big evil in Azeroth.
As a Horde player it irritates me that the burning wasn't done for tactical or strategic purposes. Sylvanas was just being petty because she got called on her bullshit.
People theorize that the new litch king is controlling her.
Something or someone has to, otherwise this expansion will be the worst plot hole in wow history. Vol'Jin choose Sylvanas because she was the opposite of Garrosh...now she's Garrosh 2.0.
@Jo: I would strongly recommend you watch this video so as to show how, in the end, Horde players are NOT expected to own the Teldrissil incident. Sylvanas stands alone on this one. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=FW_gGhdBzuk
