Do not let the current writing team anywhere near The Dragon Isles

Haven’t “the snoozer” and co. already ruined enough of the great old lore and characters? Haven’t they damaged the immersion and wonder of the WoW lore enough?

At what point do the people making WoW realize new writing is needed and enough is enough?

I don’t want to see something else cool from the old lore be done a complete injustice just like N’zoth, Azshara and her kingdom, the Shadowlands, Sylvanas, The Lich King, and many, many more.

Please, get some people who really know how to do things justice in and get rid of the man who thinks season 8 of game of thrones was somehow a good and high quality production.

To be fair, Lich King was a clown in WOTLK

His good lore comes from WC3

The problems with the writing in Wrath are so miniscule compared to the atrocious writing we have nowadays that it’s not even comparable.

Be careful, some people are coulrophobic.

I take personal offense to this because the first 4 letters in my last name are literally Coul

Yeah, lol. Showing up to twirl his mustache and warning us to not interfere with his plans again can only happen so many times before you just laugh.

I honestly think WoD nailed it in terms of villains making their appearance before we tangled with them properly. We encountered just about every Warlord in the open world at some point and often times they wanted our head. We barely got the edge up on them if we even did and it set the stage for our battle with them. Blackhand for instance was mega-hype in my opinion and ended up being a fantastic fight.

Blizzard has some talented writers (Christie Golden, Anne Stickney, etc) working there who do not have a say in how the expansions are put together. They can write tons of good story content but what makes it in to the game is a decision made much higher up the food chain. Blame the directors, not the writers.

Nobody is blaming Christie Golden. But it’s not the directors fault either. The snoozer is in charge of the writing of the game, not the game director. It’s the writing teams fault. Golden is not part of the games writing team, she’s an auxilliary writer who works on the extended, out of game works.

You mean all the rich Dragon Isles lore that we have seen at every turn in the game? That deep, deep lore we have been exploring for almost 20 years? That super fleshed out and well written lore?

That Dragon Isles lore?

Sure there might not be an abundance of lore for the Dragon Isles like other areas, but it DOES exist, has since Warcraft 2, and there’s NO way someone like The Snoozer is going to come anywhere close to doing a good job with it. Give me a break with that apologist garbage, everyone knows they’re not going to write anything decent for it.

There is no real lore outside of “It’s a thing that exists.”

Give me a break with that hater garbage.

No, it’s actually fleshed out to some extent. The fact you never bothered to read it isn’t my problem. And that isn’t the main point anyways. The writing team has botched every facet of the past few expansions. I’m not being a hater, I’m being a realist. Sorry if that makes you upset.

Do you know how insufferable it is when people try to seem snarky and smart with quotes?

And you’re really trying to deny the writing team is terrible? Dude is right, give everyone a break.

You’re joking right? You’re seriously trying to defend the WoW writing team right now? Have you been in a coma for the past 10 years maybe?

Calling him a hater is basically an admission that you’re high on copium.

Didn’t you hear? Literally everything wrong with the game is actually the fault of that one guy who did all the bad stuff who no longer works for the company and has been cancelled from the Internet!

Considering that everyone is clamoring for cross-faction guilds, expect a lot more Zovaal and expect a lot less Arthas.

The writing is already terrible WITH separate factions.

The irony here being the two main points in the franchise that focused on Arthas, IE Warcraft 3 and Wrath of the Lich King, were the 2 points with the least emphasis on “Alliance vs Horde”.
