People want more customization options in a game where the lore is a house of cards. You wrote a dissertation above about a game that added Griffin McElroy’s Randyyy permanently to the game as an NPC in STV.
If Nathrezim can be made to be secret spies for Denathrius this whole time and Mary-Sueing Illidan, something trivial like red eyes for death knights is nothing. And relying on lore to argue against it is laughable.
Do you really not see how it forms a logical chain of events to say that while we broke free of the helm its lingering influence kept the taint of domination magic active in player DKS and after Zovaals death the final connection is fading out leaving room for other influences?
They have numerous types of clear sight based glasses available for transmog. As well as numerous NPCs wearing glasses. Its pretty clear that glasses exist in warcraft regardless of if they make them with the same tech.
Damn, that’s a good line. I hope I remember to use that when I get the chance.
That one amused me, since they’ve had spectacles as a player transmogs since BFA at least. They’ve had player monocles for even longer, and NPCs wearing Either glasses or monocles Since vanilla.
My warlock still has and wears (transmog) his
he got back in Vanilla.
My bank alt wore a similar for a very long time as well, along with the tux cloths and diamond cane.
No it’s not a logical chain of events. It’s not a taint of domination magic either. It’s literally what makes a DK just like Fel is what is all throughout a DH. The Burning Legion is basically finished but there is still Fel. Domination still exists and it’s not getting weaker because the jailer, who was a user of it, died. Raggy died but there is still fire magic.
So no, it’s not logical, contacts don’t exist either and who is going to shove rocks in their eyes and if you shoved a red crystal in your eye, unless the light was white, wouldn’t come out as red. It would look black.
Again you would need a 5th generation DK to make what you guys want.
If it gave all DK’s access to more eye colors, I could live with this.
I do not interpret the lore that way. To my understanding the first gen DKs were pre domination magic and second onwards is where it picks up. Additionally we have been shown that various powers can be used to achieve similar effects. So its entirely possible to have DKs without domination magic.
The jailer dying making domination magic fade makes sense because there have been numerous examples of magic being subject to entropy if not maintained.
Even if you wanted to say that it is a fundamental component of making the new versions of DKS you could take the approach of over time without it being reinforced its effects have diminished and been replaced by the various influences the DK engages with.
Ragnaros being dead doesn’t have anything to do with fire functioning he is an elemental not the avatar of the cosmic force of heat.
They can invent them as soon as blizzard feels like they want to. Them not existing isn’t a valid argument.
People shove metal rods through their genitals an removable eye crystal isn’t even close to the extent of body mods people will do.
If a material reflects a photons of low energy but absorbs photons of high energy they would be able to block the blue entirely and show only red. They can explain that the fictitious crystal has those properties or they can hand wave it with magic.
Side Note: Black eyes would be sick AF lets do those too.
It doesnt matter. Its the lore.
Were part of the horde and were warlock souls in fallen Stormwind Knights. They had 0 connection with the LK and the LK didnt even exist yet.
Because thats when there was a LK.
What?
Not the DK’s that we have. It would be an entirely different thing.
No it doesnt. He was just a user of Domination magic, not the source of it, he wasnt even the creator of it.
I specifically say 3rd and 4th gen.
Exactly, and the jailer being dead doesnt have anything to do with domination magic functioning. He was just a user of it. Its going to exist with or without him.
Except that wouldnt work. Put in red transparent object in front of blue light filters out the blue light rendering it black. The same with green. The only contact that would let blue light through is a blue contact.
It actually is or this opens up free reigns to do anything. That ruins things further.
So… I dont know what this has to do with anything but… gross.
That is with white light though. Not colored light. There is no red light in blue light to show only the red light. Same with green.
I am so painfully obviously referring to the specific domination magic placed on DKs not the entire category of magic…
There has always been free reign. Blizzard has tech in the game way more advanced than contacts. Stop trying to twist your self in knots to avoid the idea that its possible to make eye tints and just say you would prefer it not be so for nostalgic lore reasons.
You asked who would put crystals in their eyes. I was making a point about people being willing to do way more than that for cosmetics. That should have been obvious. Like stunningly obvious.
Light can be turned into other types of light through down/up conversion which can be accomplished by crystalline structures.
Even if the science didn’t work they can hand wave it with magic.
Just add a line about some dks have varied eye color due to there spec. Done.
More custimization outweighs lore which is notoriously bad and constantly being changed anyways.
No. Easy enough… just no.
No it doesnt.
Domination magic wasnt placed on us, we were created with it. Its not going anywhere because a user of it was defeated. We broke free from the Lich King long ago and it never went away or even diluted.
No there isnt, not if you want a consistent story.
Not really, no.
Thats you, you guys have such bad ideas is hilarious at this point. You guys bring up Lady Alistra, yet want Blood to have red eyes… but shes unholy… so wouldnt that mean unholy should have red eyes or are people just grasping at stuff hoping they just happen to stumble upon something that would “work”? Its a bunch of people that just dont give a damn about anything else other than getting what they want. Having a consistent story is good for everyone even if you dont care about it and rather see it ruined.
No, for lore reasons. You must be one of those people that liked The Rings of Power and The Acolyte. 2 franchise destroying shows because according to you “there is free reign to do whatever the writers want”. But thats not the case is it?
Yes, who would put crystals in their eyes, that would stop you from seeing completely, cause irritation, possibly blindness. And we arent talking about the fringes here.
And it should be stunningly obvious that Blizzard does customization when it makes sense. Their words as well. None of your “ideas” actually make any sense.
Congrats you can use google, but you didnt do any research past than in that you would want phosphors, a gem isnt going to do this and its just going to act as a filter. Phosphors radiate light when its exposed to radiant energy.
So what you are saying is “hand wave it to make it possible no matter what, it doesnt need to make sense I just want it so gimme!”. Thats all these arguments are. If you had any decent argument there would be 0 rebuttle of it in any way shape or form.
Yes it does and most wow players agree ur in the 1% sorry to say ur not the majority.
You got a poll to back this up? Also, no it doesnt. Blizzard said as much that they do customization when it makes sense to do so.
Dont need one.
99% of people ive talked to in game and irl that played wow always go "ya that would be cool when talking about new custimization.
I can count on one hand how many are debby downers and go “no it doesnt fit the lore i like in this specific variation in a game with constant lore changes and retcons”
You included it makes like 4
You do actually.
That could be 5 people so it doesnt matter. Lore comes before customization.
Who said I like lore changes and retcons? What person that likes a coherent and consistent story likes retcons and changes? No one. Your numbers are completely made up and mean absolutely nothing.
Blizzard doesnt do customization changes unless it makes sense. DK eye color just changing on a whim makes no sense in an RPG and there needs to be a consistent and coherent explanation of why something is happening. Just saying “add a line saying it can happen” doesnt do this. Sorry, but no, Blizzard doubled down saying DK’s eyes are blue, not multicolored like a rainbow, deal with it.
Nah blizz doesnt do this as is. Ur talking about the blizz whos chonicles directly contradicts events in game? That blizz?
Dont get it twisted blizz didnt add more colors for dk eyes because it doesnt “makes sense to the lore” they havent done it cause its work and they just dont feel like it.
When they do feel like adding more custimization they will no lore needed.
Blizz added farraki skin tones to trolls without any explanation. Farraki arent part of the horde. Certain amani tribes are tho and we still dont have amani green skin options.
Blizz isnt some protector of lore that cares so deeply about its rpg that it wont make certain discussions based on what makes sense.
Its a company that wants to make money and do the least amount of work for the most profit.
So who cares. Its a video game. One day they will add multiple eye colors for dk. And its gonna come with the most boring one liner to explain it.
“whim makes no sense in an RPG and there needs to be a consistent and coherent explanation of why something is happening.”
Proof boyo’s never truly played an rpg in their life. Rule #2 of rpg’s, never let lore or rules get in the way of something cool, especially if that cool doen’t affect balance.
That entire post fails to understand most if not every point I made. You omitted or added meaning and motivations into what I said. Honestly It’s boring. Your bore me and I’m done putting in the effort to try and make a person who is willfully misunderstanding me understand my points.
