Darion sounds terrible.

The new glow effect sucks, it’s just so dreary and dim compared to the old ones.

Dark Ranger Velonara and other Dark Rangers staying with the Horde is neat. And the fact people with the Gift of N’Zoth can see different reactions to his defeat is interesting and makes me wonder why they are fighting against N’Zoth when they have the gift.

No me gusta :c. It just makes the eyes looks really weird but hopefully they can work on it!

Now we just need them to do the same for Anduin and remove the High king position.

It’s just the first stages of it.

I’m assuming they’re changing how the eye glow is connected to the eyes. It could be the first step to adjusting the glow intensity or being able to change eye glow and eye color separately.

I actually strongly prefer the PTR eyes. I’d rather have a ethereal glow than a flashlight.

Sometimes they change voice actors when they still have the original.

They changed Rexxar’s voice actor from Steve Blum to Matt Mercer even when Blum still does voices for Blizzard, at least up to Legion.

A better example is Kel’thuzad in Wrath. His OG voice actor did the Lich King voice, while they got another person to do KT. All because it would be “too confusing” to tell the voices apart during their exchange in Naxx.

Flash forward to 4.2 trailer where you have Metzen yelling at himself for 90% of the video.

Gotta love blizzard logic.

I’m still curious how the royalties with Reforged are going to work in that case since they aren’t doing any new VO.

It could also be a case like the original Sarah Kerrigan(Starcraft), who called Blizzard in advance letting them know that she’d be happy to reprise the role, and then just never got contacted.

Darion Mograine’s new voice over sounds like it’s still Taliesin Jaffe to me, though it does sound different from the all-caps shouting he usually does. Maybe Darion finally realized people can still hear him through his helmet if he speaks at a lower volume?

Oh yay we get to join the evil pet cabal.

We prefer to be called Sylvanas Loyalists.

I dunno, judging by the above even the pet cabal operate as a democracy.

This is actually kind of insulting on Blizzard’s part. Michael McConnohie is a very talented voice actor, and his Kel’Thuzad and Lich King are nothing alike.

Lich King is closer to Barragan Louisenbairn than it is to Kel’Thuzad.

Kel’Thuzad is most similar to Uther though Uther is more commanding than Kel’Thuzad. Am currently hoping Uther becomes Forsworn and is a Dungeon Boss due to his self-righteous unwillingness to do what is necessary. Lothar is better at tough decisions than he ever was.

Michael McConnohie played Deathwing too I should mention.
