Looks like it may have been Tyr’s gauntlet.

Though I don’t think it had infinity stones in it. :wink:

Legendary Titan Fist
 no wonder he broke down when it broke. Nothing can come close

I do hope it stays broken. Getting it back together and working might be a bad idea. ( Unless you’re a villain and this becomes a threat later )

Some villain fixes it and uses it to mass mind control but the player characters are immune due to the dormant Gift of N’zoth that is still canon btw. I’m sure they’ll get around to doing something with it.

Odyn will recreate and modify it to take over all dragon kind!

I would not be surprised if Blizz goes that route.

After reading the lore on Helya, I really wanted to kill Odyn. So if we get a chance, I’m down.

Watch players drool over it as a legendary :rofl:

11

and yet he did not have a single infinity stone.
Shame!

Blizzard villains using mind domination is starting to become a bit of a cliché 
But with that said, a bejeweled glove to slap people down is pretty cool, no matter how over played.

Starting to?

Bruh, Blizzard has beaten a number of tropes to death:

  • Insanity/Mind-Control

  • Infiltration (seriously - the Undead, Old Gods, Elementals, Dragons, and Demons have all infiltrated our cities, I honestly don’t understand how some of this even works)

  • Reanimation of defeated foes (it seems like every cosmic force can reanimate the dead - heck, even as far back as 2004 there was “Life Necromancy” which should be an oxymoron).

Every villain faction feels the same because, for whatever reason, Blizzard gives them all the same toolkit. I think the only faction we’ve ever seen that felt tangibly different would be the Iron Horde. Such as a shame that Warlords of Draenor did poorly due to its 1-year content cycle because I’m sure its failure sent the wrong signal that Blizzard interpreted as people not wanting something actually new and different.

Horley art is just
 god damn. Love this guy’s art style.

HS artstyle is definitely lit. I actually love the characters too. Year of the Dragon > Dragonflight, no cap.

Maximum copium overdrive would be Blizzard borrowing some of that Year of the Dragon lore/characters and putting it/them into World of Warcraft as a mega-dungeon. A man can dream.

17

There are no new ideas only different ways of approaching it, its the ‘Simpsons did it effect’

18

Only Evokers.

Im not sure about chapter 3 though. Its almost like they are trying to give Deathwing a sympathetic reason to have turned to the Old Gods.

You completely missed my point. My problem isn’t Blizzard coming up with something new, the problem is that every villain faction is the same thing with a different coat of paint.

Old Gods were pretty much exclusively the realm of mind-control. Except that’s not true anymore, because the Titans mind-control mortals now too, and Death relies on mind-control, and the Dragons use mind-control, and the Elements use mind-control
 it’s just too much.

Look at something like Starcraft, each of the major antagonists is quite thematically different and with different tools and powers at their disposal. Mengsk was different from the Tal’darim which was different from the Overmind.
