A Message From Warcraft

You are clueless and have very low standards for linear narrative. Danuser has done more to retcon and destroy lore than any before him, and has done far worse at connecting new content to old content.

You’re not exactly disproving the point. The fact that this stuff is being reported on at all reveals that they are indeed outliers. The news never talks about mundane everyday stuff anymore. They are notable because the winds have changed. Yes, you can find pockets of resistance, but it is far from the norm.

I wish Melzten would also take care of the lore and narrative design.

That Danuser thing gives me a bad feeling since he gave that ridiculous REDEMPTION or R.E.I. to Sylvanas in Shadowlands.

One of the greats is needed from all of them why Blizzard games are great except for OW (since he did not take care of that game much) and we hope that his work continues as it was when we saw games in the 90’s and 2000’s that we already know

The reaction to it changing has nothing to do with the fact that it’s still happening.

From a societal perspective, yes, but society is not in control of the actions of men exerting their powerful over their female workers. It still happens to this day and the only reason why something is ever “done” about it is because of the outrage, not because there’s been a dramatic shift in workplace culture.

I fundamentally disagree with this. I won’t discuss what industries I’ve been bouncing around in, but I have seen fundamental change finally taking root in recent years. Do these issues still occur? Unfortunately, yes. And unfortunately, I don’t foresee them every stopping. The change I have observed is in how they are dealt with. Quickly, efficiently, and often quietly. It isn’t done to virtue signal, nor is it done to address existing outrage. It has been simple - someone offended, and the offender is dealt with appropriately and promptly.

Anyway, this is barely a justifiable tangent.

I welcome Chris back with open arms. I certainly hope to see him center stage again for the next BlizzCon. :slight_smile:

And DF is based on a narrative that completely contradicts the lore of Catacalysm. It doesn’t even retcon Cata lore, it completely ignores and erases it.

What? If anything, it’s been bogged down by Cataclysm lore.

Believe it or not Metzen wasn’t in charge of HR. I’m not entirely sure what you expected Metzen to do.

Couldn’t be happier with the news honestly. Welcome back, Chris Metzen! My whole guild heard about this and we all nerd screamed. The good nerd screams I mean.

Did you even play Catacalysm? Watch the end cinematic for the Dragonsoul raid and pay very close attention to what Alexstraza says.
