While I agree with most of this, tBC story was beyond sloppy… starting off with two very strange choices in races (one being a complete retcon for the sake of immersion breaking crystal ships) and the entire Illidan being a slave driver seemed forced.
Thrall meeting his granny was a nice touch though, but that too led to the entire Go’el ‘assassination of character’.
yep… that says enough
Does it? The alliance and horde have no way of knowing that the kings advisor wasn’t under orders to do what he did. Therefore it makes no difference that the king didn’t sanction it, because anyone would naturally assume the kings advisor is acting under orders from the king.
I could have sworn that back in MoP or Cata they mentioned that Zul was going rogue or was going to betray King Ras because he felt that the King wasn’t doing enough to help their people.
exactly what innocents are we slaughtering? Last time I checked everything in the raid is an enemy soldier.
Let’s attack Zandalar instead of oh IDK Orgrimmar!!! Ya know, the place we sacked a few years ago and actually have intel on.
/raises hand eagerly
I do have a question if you don’t mind me asking.
How did you guys make the Zandalari fleet blow up? When your king pressed the big red button.
finally got to see the Rastakhan fight this week and i sure got a kick out of Genn demanding that he bow down to “his new Master, Anduin” and then called him a savage, like Genn himself isn’t a rabid dog
so like i’ve pointed out prior when ally do it, it seems normal and a okay as their actions don’t represent the whole of the alliance. Horde does it and it does? Double standards like whoa
Its the whispers that corrupted your precious lion-boy king and his lapdog.
Fun fact, there’s actually different voice lines for whether you do the Rastakhan fight as Horde or Alliance.
This is what you see as the Horde:
And this is what you see as the Alliance:
that makes sense, since we are technically being told of what had happened by a zandalari troll and she’d make it look like the Alliance are super evil. bet the same thing happens when the alliance do the part where they become horde and fight Gelbin/SWB/Jaina. it had just caught me off guard because i had seen the little conversation Anduin and company have about the aftermath of the fight and he said that he didn’t want to kill Rastakhan
Lots of bad writing.
It was part of our war campaign quest line. We were sent on a mission to plant bombs on the hulls of the various ships around the port. We were told these would be used when we launched our main assault upon the city itself.
Yeah, I’d expect the Hordes view of Mekkatorque onwards to be not nearly as nice as how it gets recounted by our storyteller, but I dunno if there’s any real differences or not, like there are with Rastakhan.
Personally though I consider the Alliance interactions canon for Opulence/Conclave/Rastakhan, since we’re personally there as players, and not getting it recounted back to us, and likewise the Horde get the canon version of Mekkatorque onwards.
A lot of these topics have stopped making sense to me and are beginning to border on insanity.
In a game where we have spent 14 years killing anything and everything for loot and “reasons” all of a sudden we have to stop and think of morality?
Well we have no battle plan ready and the horde still has access to a massive zandalari fleet.
That would be the reality if we attacked orgrimmar before zuldazar.
Now the enemy fleet is all but destroyed and logic would dictate that we amass forces to deliver the death blow.
Of course blizzard apparently doesn’t have common sense when it comes to strategy in war.
