I think the mount was the thing that most disappointed me about the warrior class hall.
The silliness of the story didn’t bother me all that much cos I don’t really enjoy warrior gameplay so I was somewhat insulated from investment. But I figured, hey, at least I’ll get a cool mount out of it!
Nope. Protodrake.
serious though azhaar what did we do in that thing because I can’t remember
did we fight demons?
i assume vrykul were involved
i have a worgen in my inventory and i dont know how he got there
You fight demons and save vrykul dudes to fight bigger demons.
Also a couple of those ulduar looking dudes show up.
Pretty sure it ends when you go to a legion ship to punch the dude who took your dudes and that’s it.
It honestly made no impression on me except for the architecture. The joint is swanky-lookin’, I will gladly give it that much credit.
As much as I didn’t like the warrior hall, class halls were a kinda cool feature. You got a different experience on each alt, they explored lore which was tangential to the main plot, brought in lots of cool characters… it was fun. Probably the only iteration of mission table-based solo content that actually worked, much better than garrisons or the war campaign.
So if that is what covenants are, and you can choose this time around and thus avoid getting stuck in the lame one, that’s good.
I mean, good on their own, anyway. As the main feature of an expansion “order halls again but fewer of them and without legendary weapons” is not great. Legion’s main features were artifacts and demon hunters, class halls were just a nice bonus. Maybe covenants are somehow more meaningful than class halls but right now all they’ve really said about them is that they exist, have a campaign, and you get cool mogs from them, which doesn’t sound different from order halls.
They also have new abilities tied to them as well as post cap, artifact style passive / active bonus effect grinding.
It’s the main character of an expansion cinematic the day after it’s released. Nearly everyone in game is talking about some aspect of the new expansion the day or two after it’s announced. It would be like discussing Arthas the day after WotLK was announced not a discussion of elf life spans or whether being a worgen can be inherited.
Also Kaz said he had no issue with people using a likeness of his name. I would have deleted it if he had asked me to or even implied it bothered him.
It was a moist, glowing hole and not the fun kind.
Warlock order hall was the worst aesthetically because it was just a bunch of rocks in space…oh look over here more rocks.
“I’ve done it! I discovered the long lost island of Mechagon!”
“Oh cool! Where at?”
Points from Drustvar beach to literally less than half a mile away. “Right over there!”
“Oh my goodness! And all this time, our entire seafaring culture, home to one of Azeroth’s mightiest Navies, must have simply not noticed!”
“Maybe it was magic? I don’t know. And who needs boats? We can just swim to it. Off we go!”
You poked Ymiron. A lot. Because it was fun to make dad mad.
Everyone older than 25 should research and consider kegels. It doesn’t matter what equipment you have. It’s free and doesn’t take long.
Well, that was good and random.
You know I was looking at the cranky quarantine, and I thought I might pry it open and take a look at concerns people have for inspiration on posts that can cheer people up if wanted.
I found this. I now turn away from this forum thread, clicking the x, closing it forever. I never shall return.
I am pleased with the results. From my point of view, I do humanity a disservice by not mentioning it. Plus, it’s a quarantine thread
I will die on this hill.
I wish I could post that gif of the guy blinking in surprise.
I’ve got a pelvic floor like a sumo wrestler. I can carry extra bags of groceries.
The only exercise i do is fighting against macho dragon.
Gems from the r/wow interview:
“So if you think about other magical creatures and think what happens when you kill them on Azeroth, where do they go? There’s the potential for things like that to kind of happen. We try to have this cosmology of the way things work, and that’s something that you can apply to other things. And I think the old gods are an interesting case where, you know, we’ve defeated one version of them and who knows if another manifestation will eventually take place.”

We knew that when we were making Battle for Azeroth that it was going to be an expansion that tested people’s feelings and loyalties. And again, putting these two sides against each other in a way that really hadn’t been done to that degree in WoW yet, so far. And knowing that what we were doing with Sylvanas, where she was going into the Shadowlands, all this time, she’s been doing these things in BfA because we knew where she was going to end up. It’s hard when you can’t yet connect the dots for people, you have to kind of set that trajectory in motion. So we knew that, well, it’s going to look bad for Sylvanas; people are going to take some of this stuff wrong, but we have to stick to this.
So no old gods next expac, Nzoth just gets put on ice for now. My guess is we’ll see a dragon expac and maybe something else before they resort to the Old G’s again. But they can come back from who-knows-where (nobody does) whenever they’re needed! lol
Bonus:
“WoW Classic is kind of a thing that we’ve resurrected, and we’re going to leave it alone and kind of just go forward with Shadowlands”
Yeah nevermind all that private server stuff that was happening for over a dozen years…
I love the implication there that we just didn’t like Sylvanas because they couldn’t explain the secret complexity of her actions to us… I feel so much better now knowing that she burned down Teldrassil to
< checks her notes >
feed their souls directly into Super Hell as part of an off-screen bargain that she made ten years and four expansions ago with a character that we’ve never heard of before.
