I have so many issues with the way that Warcraft movie was handled lmao… starting with but not limited to the retcons
I actually preferred the more grounded “retcons” to the absolute silliness that’s present in the games.
my biggest thing was that Medivh was not beheaded and Khadgar was not aged
Eh… I didn’t mind it at all. It’s meant to be a separate continuity anyway.
Still enjoyed the crap out of it and would love another one. Would love to see Ogrim and Lothar duke it out
According to some articles I read, the Warcraft movie sequel would have seen Orgrim getting his iconic armor – the armor Thrall used to wear.
Gah, the fact that people may never get to see some of those stories translated to the big screen kills me. Arthas’ story, Arthas vs. Illidan, through the dark portal… not to mention everything BEFORE the first movie
You guys really need to let it go… In the grand scheme of things, this AV debate is a mere dot on the spectrum. Getting this dramatic over 1 BG is just a little over the top. Would drawn out AVs be fun? Yes, for a week or so. Then we would have mounds of folks coming on the forums complaining that the AV rep grind is even more monotonous than it needs to be. I understand the sentiment behind the arguments, but in the long run this will have 0 impact on the health of Class WoW servers.
At least Blizzard’s been cherry-picking some bits of lore from the movie and making it canon.
Still waiting on my Chronicle Vol 4., best warcraft related purchases i’ve ever made, phenomenal art and writing, hard cover reissued LORE
Same here. Chronicle’s probably the only quality Warcraft content Blizz has put out since Crapaclysm.
I am still excited for classic - but I think you underestimate how much this matters to those of us that played vanilla.
If their call to run 1.12 was made because they don’t have the resources and/or the ability to re-create a version that makes zerging more difficult, then I understand.
If this decision is being made to appease rep. grinders, then they made the wrong choice.
The blue’s post speaks volumes:

1.12 AV at launch and then if we are vocal enough about it I am sure we could get some 1.5 content reimplemented if we were loud enough.
I played Vanilla. I was a hardcore raider that made it to Thaddius in Nax before my guild threw in the towel. Hell, this toon I’m posting on is an original Vanilla twink that hasn’t been touched in over 10 years. I think they made the best decision with AV. 1.5 AV would not still have the same meta that everyone remembers, allowing it to last for days. Bots will not be able to farm gold in the 1.12 version as efficiently. There are a lot of factors that make their decision the correct one. AV will still be tons of fun, and possibly even less of a headache once the nostalgia subsides. Its just time to let it go. There are bigger things to discuss at this point.
And Classic is a chance to undo mistakes made during Vanilla, so I’m not sure what your point is.
They didn’t make mistakes in Vanilla though…The mistake they made was releasing an expansion that trivialized the previous content.
The only thing that will kill Classic is tacking mandatory expansions onto it, or annual server wipes.
There are a lot of factors that make their decision the correct one.
