Hearing the news that Blizzard refused to change the Warcraft 3 lore. That of course there are two sides to the coin, it’s one thing to develop the plot, add some details and add something personal to reveal the character. But another thing is that I want to stay in the laura as it was in the original. Personally, I’m glad and not very 50 and 50. But this is the question I had about the game itself. If there is no change in the lore, then what will happen to the missions in the campaigns? Will those famous locations be changed? Such as Stratholme for example. And since such a thing has gone, will there remain such as King Anasterian and another character, but as heroes? So the lore will remain, but the missions will change?

This is honestly what makes or breaks it for me. I don’t want to pay 40 bucks for just a reskin, This was promised, they ought to deliver.

My 2 cents
The polygon article I saw covering this mentioned Christie Goldens addendums of Jaina and Sylvanas lore specifically. I think the original plan was to expand and bridge the WC3 stories to current lore.
But now WoW players are so fed up with Sylvanas that more Sylvanas lore would be terrible marketting. Thus cuts.
I don’t think this changes Anasterian. He might just be a cameo NPC.
Blizzard desperately needs to clarify. Because geography changes could be scrapped aswell who knows.

This. Hilariously, before the Shadowlands announcement i was excited to see more Sylvanas. Now i have no desire to see anymore of her. She is too damn important and makes everything revolve around her.
Unlikely. There’s too much stuff datamined from the beta that implies that map changes are still gonna be a thing. We’ll still get a Reforged campaign, but it won’t have any narrative changes.
That’s my understanding anyway.
Of course they could also just be leaving that stuff in the files for map makers.
That would be the hope. But geography provides narritive aswell. For instance, are we going to see Suremar at the broken isles or is it going to be a whole bunch of nothing like it used to be?

Dunno. All I know is they put all that work into the art assets and they’re still in the game files, I doubt they’re going to not use them or make them unable to be used by map makers.
We’ll probably find out more during the deep dive later today.
There is one? I wasnt under the impression that it had a pannel
It wasn’t removed from the schedule at all. Not according to the Battle-net app at least.
It’s tonight from 6:15pm EST to 7pm.
Oh i see it, thanks! I guess I missed it
