The Future!?

this just sounds like the writers ran out of ideas and decided to recycle characters lol.

Legion was the steep coast again but with changes.
BFA was an attempt at nostalgia to the W3 having war fronts that are basically W3 but the point of view of a unit and the whole beginning of the expansion is a re-enactment of when Arthas fights with Sylvanas. But with Sylvanas in the place of Arthas and Dalarin in the place of Sylvanas …

Out of all the expansions only 2 or 3 really deviate from the W3. (That of Dranor and Cata … and even there tasting had a lot of Lore Kaldorei that comes from W3 and Malfuerion’s Pj who hadn’t done anything up to that point)

I’m gonna argue that Cata, Mists of Panderia, Warlords of Draenor, Legion, and Shadow Lands are very far from Warcraft 3 lore. Cata breaks the cold war left after the defeat of Archimonde. MoP literally involves an entire continent based around the joke characters in WC3. WoD retcons all of the lore. Legion invalidates the defeat of Archimonde at the end of TBC which was a continuation of the defat of Archimonde in WC3. Shadow Lands is a massive retcon of what goes on inside Altars.

That’s of course very hand-wavy, but the WC3 lore hasn’t been relevant since the end of WotLK.

Back many of those things use over and over again pj that are precedent in WoW.
Do you want to know who Vash is? go play W3.
Do you want to know who is Maiev? W3 or a novel that is a copy of the W3.
Do you want to know who Uther is? W3.
Do you want to know what Sylvanas is talking about in the next patch? (If it’s a W3 thing)
Why is Chen especially important? Because he is the pj of W3
Rezzar the champion of the Horde. But if he does nothing? But at W3 he does a lot.

I agree the lore of WoW sucks and they rewrite everything. But even so there are many Pj and plots that do not show them again in WoW you have to go to W3 to know why they are important.

I’m not telling you that each expansion is 100% W3. But each Expansion drinks at least 30% of the W3. Even in the last interview they say that SW is really the “closing of the W3 frames”. (Although at the beginning they said that SW was something completely new.)

Not counting that you have characters like Maiev, Jaina or Tyrande. Which has big pj arcs that are based on: Or we screw it up in making this Pj not the way it was in W3. Now it’s like W3 again.

Drenor is W2 or 1 (I don’t dispute that).

Pajamas?

Vashj is a literal nobody in WoW lol, you’d be forgiven for thinking she didn’t even have lore

Uther hasn’t been relevant AT ALL in WoW aside from that one memorial in the Eastern Plaguelands before Cata.

He’s not even important in WC3 though lmao

Rexxar was fairly important in vanilla WoW and then was promptly forgotten.

Dude, Sylvanas isn’t even the same character anymore. Her story ended in WotLK and then they rewrote her.

Yes well I inform you the last expansion of WoW has Vash and Uther as important characters.

Two characters that I agree with are nobody important in WoW.
But suddenly they deserve to have their own model story arc and voice actor because you know they’re W3 characters.
We even have a reunion between Vash and Kaltas just because of fanserviz.

Always in each expansion of the WoW if you see the “main cast” (Not counting the new ones of the expansion) between the middle and the entire cast are those of the W3.

I think that’s just because they’re the new characters in the expansion, not because they were in Warcraft 3 lol.

Just because the leaders of each faction are always involved in the plot, does not mean they’re included because of Warcraft 3. They’re included because they’re the leaders of each faction. The Forsaken could’ve been led by a literal nobody and that literal nobody would have become a focal point of the story assuming they were a female that the lead writer has a crush on.

Keep denying the obvious if you want. But that’s the way even blizzard says so.

PS How strange that Forosaken are the important non-Dwarfs or Genomes.
Or even rarer, Jaina and Maiev are important and not faction leaders.

bro Maiev was literally forgotten about until LEGION (excluding her 30 second role in TBC)

as if their opinion matters

So what is the point of this discussion.
You tell me over and over again that they are not from WoW and that suddenly they become important and that to understand their lore you have to go to W3 because as you said in WoW they don’t do anything until then.

Precisely Maiev is oblivion even legion. but since Maiev is suddenly important and comes out in 3 expansions in a row she has pieces of history for her and suddenly she is almost a leader of the Kaldorei arguing with Anduin. (Spoiler is going to come out in SL too).
And WoW never introduces it to you. She simply tells you “It’s Maiev you should already know who she is”

Talanji was forgotten. And he’s a pj who worked on introducing him to tell us his story and it made sense with SL.

pajamas?

that’s called bad writing
