ORPHEA: Why does the Nexus need lore and characters?

While I do like this fact as a “lore nerd” (I’ll look into lore of games i’ve Never played lol) I love it.

But, I think it is only approved by higher ups (central corporate team) to allow for a mobile game set on the realm of the Nexus.

  1. This is a necro, come on people, just make a new thread.

  2. Blizzard has always had lore driven games, the only exceptions being hearthstone which is completely based on wow, and overwatch but even then the characters have heavy lore behind them as well. The Nexus being a focal point in which this game is based in should also have lore for the same reason.

I don’t normally post on the blizzard forums or even check them out, but with the recent news about changes to HOTS for 2019 I wanted to see what the community was thinking. Wow where do I start.

First off, give OP a break, what is wrong with you people? Are you all little kids? The person gave their thoughts in a mature manner about why they didnt care for original lore, and I’m seeing are replies like go find another game, or watch what you say. Jeez people on here are nasty.

As for the topic at hand: you arent alone OP, I actually agree with you. I don’t mind orphea at all, but the reason I play this game instead of DOTA or League in the first place is to see all the amazing franchises coming together. And with new heroes coming in at a much slower pace in the near future. I’d like to see more Blizzard well known characters. That’s the whole draw of this game.

Anyway sorry if you put up with these other folks being negative to you, if you see this I agree with you.

A respected forum poster was mass flagged and suspended for a day because they respectfully said they didn’t like Orphea, so that apparently is a section of this community. :pensive:

So… she’s bad because unlike other heroes currently in the nexus who’ve had content for their characters over the course of years she dosen’t have as much development.

I mean no duh? They took an archetype and have time to try and flesh it out no problem.

Actually, I can.

Evidence?

This entire thread.

Sorry, I’m not a SJW. But this guy is complaining about crap that simpy. Doesn’t. Matter.

I agree with OP and see the post as concise and valid. Adding Orphea is just another disappointing nail in this game’s creative coffin. The whole point of this game was to play heroes from your favorite franchises. This game didn’t need lore and these changes were a waste of already scarce resources.

I feel for OP and the others in this thread subjected to rampant disregard for unenforced forum ettiqute. There is no justice on these forums thanks to frail ego individuals who brigade threads with spam posts, personal attacks, and fallacious reports to stifle discussions along with opposing opinions. People are unlikely to enjoy themselves here unless they enjoy an echo chamber spawned from trolls obsessed with lolis and waifus.

Then why do you feel the need to answer to his opinion and slander him if its ‘‘crap that simpy. Doesn’t. Matter.’’ ?

%*/?$! internet bully.

I didn’t slander him. Please look up definitions of words before using them. I made fun of him, sure. But that’s not slander.

It’s pathetic that people are complaining about this. Try not eating for 3 days or spend the weekend being homeless. Get some life perspective on things.

Mate. This guy is literally complaining one of the ridiculous things to complain about life. So are you. Orphea isn’t a nail in the coffin. Orphea didn’t suddenly ruin the game in anyway possible.

We all made fun of it because his “facts” are is own personal observation which are completely baseless and pointless. Just like whining about something like this. xD

I wish I could live in your world where the things I can complain about is virtual characters in a video game. xDD Must be nice to worry about trivial crap like this.

By the way.

Nice flat out hypocritical behavior. Next time try not to be so damn blatantly disgusting dense.

‘‘overly privileged, spoiled, entitled, first world problem person’’

Slander definition :
verb

make false and damaging statements about (someone).

I lived in the street for several months. You know nothing about the people you talk about.

Hmmm… Projection ?

because why not? Lets us have a bit more story to our MOBA. Which is already much better than any other MOBA out there.

But we should get the rest of the already established characters into the Nexus before they make another new hero for the nexus.

His life is just fine. (y)

Edit: By the way, googling a very basic definition of a word is one of the worst things you wanna do. Especially when said word has a legal definition.

Don’t try to pick a fight with me. You’re not going to win this.

I never claimed Orphea was the reason for the games failure. A nail alone is nothing without the coffin previously built. This coffin was created piece by piece since the release of HoTS 2.0. Orphea is simply a single part of that coffin of failure pieced together from a great number of mistakes by the dev team.

You are making many assumptions about users posting different opinions than you pertaining to their life situations and their alleged lack of humbleness. Instead of personal attacks against those with different opinions, perhaps you should consider your statement below.

Seeing as you have the most responses (15 at this current time) , there is evidence to suggest that you have the most time to worry about other people’s opinion on this subject about virtual characters in a video game.

This is a forum for discussion, ideas, and criticisms about this game. Everyone here is entitled to share those opinions and your attempts to detract are ineffective and self serving. After 15 posts your position is quite clear, and after my 2nd, so is mine.

Let’s just accept that others will not always share our views on the game instead of directing personal attacks or character assumptions at those who perceive things differently.

The level of inconsistency from you is amazing. First you claim that everyone is being a big meanie towards the poster while you then in turn insult those people.

xD Now you’re saying Orphea isn’t a nail in a coffin… then saying she’s a nail in the coffin?

Get you please get it together?

Either she’s a nail in the coffin or she isn’t. Please pick one Either she was another thing that ruined the game or she didn’t.

And no - she didn’t drastically change the game. She in no way is a nail in the coffin and to think otherwise is literally just childish behavior.

Can we please stop keep focused?

Late but why does the game even need lore? Can’t a game just be a game? Does there need to be any deeper meaning than that?

Of course it doesn’t.

But you could (and should) ask this question in your own thread or at least in a more recent thread about similar topic :wink:

are people still butthurt over Nexus originals…? Lol.
