So... if I understand Nexus Lore correctly (comic spoilers)

General Discussion
1

The Raven Lord had a vision that we know nothing about, involving the Dark Nexus that we know nothing about, so to stop a bad thing we know nothing about, he conquers the Grave Keeper, Azeroth, and King’s Quest off-screen which helps him defeat this evil for reasons we know nothing about

Orphea who we know nothing about takes up arms and heads for her dad’s house, and gets attacked by a Dark Dehaka we know nothing about, gets healed by a woman who know nothing about who vaguely mentions some family drama we know nothing about.

Then the Raven Lord attacks, and Orphea wins with a bunch of coffins we know nothing about, stabs the Dark Nexus Singularity we know nothing about with a red crystal we know nothing about, and then knocks the Raven Lord into a portal we know nothing about.

Finally ending a massive conflict between multiple universes… That we knew nothing about.

Yes, I see why making Orphea and the Nexus Lore was so damn important. This is a marvelous story that just HAD to be told.

I don’t think you’re using that word correctly.

This comic has made me all the more excited for Orphea, not to play as “Med’an, but Anime and with boobs”, but to kill her again and again, making her fans cry as they can’t win with their Mary Sue.

I’ll see you in the Nexus.

I have to say that for blizzard writing, the comics have been so entirely weak. I feel like they could have released orphea with the same backstory without the comics and it would have made no difference either way. I’m disappointed. So many tropes in typical comic books that seems rehashed.

it was as if there was an entire 2 comics of information that they never released that would explain the whole story

Amazing artwork but they went light and safe on the story. People read comics for the dialogue, the exposition. It’s the one format where the villain is allowed to talk for multiple paragraphs about the details of his plot while fighting the hero and no one finds it weird.

I’m frustrated because I feel like there is a good story here, we just haven’t read it.

This is modern SJW Blizzard writting at its finest.

“I’m frustrated because I feel like there is a good story here, we just haven’t read it.”
Its just none, its just mess of some random quotes and cliche w/o any world or character development. Really, there compeltely no sence in what happens here.

Yeah, it was all pretty weak. It needed to be almost double the length - introduce Orphea’s backstory earlier, give the conflict more depth, and most importantly spread and expand the exposition by a tonne.

Personally, I’m still excited by the idea of Nexus-original stuff. Orphea’s kit is incredibly fun and I’m glad to have it, and I’ll stand by her visual design. I’m also hoping for more stuff that’s allowed to be goofy in the future, where they don’t have to worry about character-building as much. Like, Nexomania storyline or Neo-Stormwind hero would be incredible. Hell, even a character from Blackheart’s Bay would be fun. The potential has me buzzing, but I hope they don’t screw it up.

There are some holes in the story that’s for sure.
This whole thing feels like my roommate’s fanfic he keeps trying to get me to read. i just lose the energy everytime I try to read it and he keeps putting me on the spot trying to get me critically judge it and all i can really think of is “Umm there’s some run on sentences?”

Nothing has grabbed me to really want to get heavy into it yet. The art work is really nice to look at but that’s about it so far. I’m just waiting trying to figure out if this is going to be some short lived edgy fluff or what. Not saying this is a bad thing but they threw a cease and desist on a fan made series that was making its own Nexus lore.

I like that one a lot better then what we are getting now. It started off as something goofy and silly like what Carbot is doing and then it just went down the crazy rabbit hole. It was 10 to 12 parts(?) and before Blizzard shut it down fully it had a 15 minute long movie to it that ended in a cliffhanger.
Either I forgot what it was called or Blizzard scrubbed it clean from all outlets and search engines but it was about a minion coming to life in the Nexus and screwing up the whole system. In this story the Nexus is a battle simulation and heroes are acting really goofy and OOC while they are in the sim but they act more in line with how they should outside the the sim and that’s why the series starts off so odd and funny.

I’m a bit salty I had to lost that for this and I don’t even know what this is trying to be so far.

It was called Beyond the Worlds: Heroes of the Storm. A lot of it is still on Youtube. I’m fairly certain its shutdown had less to do with the comic series and more to do with it being an enormous breach of copywrite.

Now she is more powerful than a realm lord.

Why doesn’t she have a “I win” button on her trait?" She is far above any of the other heroes in the game now.

“You shouldn’t really think about all this stuff.” Uh, yes I should. Now that lore has been revealed, you need to stay consistent with it. If Orphea can beat a super-empowered Raven Lord (who was stronger than two others), she now has the power to one-shot cores through their shielding.

It is the realm lords that protect the core. If Orphea is stronger than them, she is far too powerful to be a mere “hero.”

The comics so far had been pretty mediocre, everything just feels so rushed and I dont get what is happening or why it is important.

This last comic was pretty meh. I was optimistic about the comics, but all of them are short and the last one is pretty empty on top of that.
And what a quick marysue fight, geez.
Why didn’t the Ravenlord talk?! Why evil is pure evil and corrupting without depth and twists?
Why can that lil’girl defeat such power as her father?!
Argh… or as the Butcher would say: Hyaaaarhg… :confused:

Oh that. I’ve watched it, enjoyed it and loved it.

It was mostly centered around the Minion dude, spoke of something about a dark being devouring worlds and the Nexus was a safe haven where Heroes are trained to fight the coming darkness. It was pretty good imo, and I like how their version of Zeratul. Totally bada$$ looking

I luckily still have a playlist of it saved in my channel. The vids still are playable but I’m afraid of sharing the link here. Blizz might take it away…

This was a major fumble for all involved.

The greatest heroes across the entire Nexus, and not one stopped to think -hm, this girl is going to face the greatest evil we have seen yet (and I solo’ed the embodiment of evil/spacegod/creator of all life) - maybe I should go and help her. The heroes in the Nexus are bumbling fools the size and strength of paperclips, compared to the realm lords

Orphea defeats the biggest bad in the Nexus, but is still at a power level to compete vs the other heroes.

If they want her to be the level of heroes, then they just turned their realm lords into a clown show. If they wanted her to be as good as a realm lord, why the devil is she lowering herself to fight in the Nexus? They broke their own lore in less than a year, clap… clap. Just stick to the Moba side, let the big kids do the storytelling please.

Welcome to the dark side btw, it’s not so bad over here, you will notice.
