The lore was never that solid to begin with.

Probably, until they change the formula, I donât think Iâll ever be able to get into the story, though I try every expansion. They couldâve told the DF story with about a 15-minute cinematic, but it was spread out over nearly 2 years with 3-4 month gaps in between.
imagine being a fan of the worgen
lvoe their architecture, their culture, and the theme of werewolves on victorian era streets.
Love the theme of werewolf vs undead.
look forward to reclaiming Gilneas from the vile forsaken who plague bombed it. been building this hype since Cataclysm.
andâŚnot only do we NOT get to fight the forsakenâŚthe VERY ONES WHO BOMBED GILNEAS (looking at you plaguebrewer!) are now allies!!!
against the scarlet crusade who we have NEVER had interaction with as worgen.
Yeah, lore is dead, replaced by âworld of friendshipâ shill writers.
the damage they didâŚiâd have rather gilneas never gotten its story resolved, than gotten the crap we gotâŚ
for a good rundown

they stopped caring a while before shadowlands. right now theyâre just on their shill phase. get as much $$$ as possible while exerting as little effort as possible before it collapses entirely. the only people who cant see this are the oldheads still clinging to their nostalgia and praising daddy blizz for the gourmet grey sludge theyâre fed.
Its been dead in game. I get more entertainment from the forums when it comes to lore of the players and their arguments. You have your social justice warriors, casuals, trolls, and on occasion players that nuke the forum with a temporary ban topic. The faction pride and lore is gone from the game and has moved to the forums.

Oldhead here and I donât know about that. I can say TBC and WotLK were pretty epic since you were playing through anticipated story lines based on canon. Cataclysm same thing, but they destroyed the old zones which I did not appreciate at all. Mists and pandas were a stretch. And anything after that seems like they are recycling concepts with different colors with some cool features sprinkled about. But I still log into classic from time to time just to wonder around the old Ashenvale zone. Then back to retail to keep chipping away at the Bloodthirsty title.

What gets me is how my character is the champion of everything? I took a long break from WOW and ended up not playing through several expansions. But now that Iâm back and suddenly Iâm the Superman of the Hord that everyone depends on? I think they need to redo things so your part of a team of champions in a given faction rather then the champion of the entire faction.

Yeah, I really miss when I wasnât the XxX Supercool Cosmic Space Time Old God Dragon Slayer Supreme XxX. Itâs hard to care about any new threats when youâve already literally defeated Cthulhu, and his God. So boring.
A paladin doesnât necessarily mean the same thing for every race. Thatâs why we have tauren sunwalkers and zandalari prelates. I think orc paladins should be a reformed and redeemed burning blade clan. No longer servants of the burning legion they now revere and wield the power of Rhukmar! Wake of Ashes alone would suit the burning blade clan beautifully.
As for void elves, that ship has sailed.
And frankly, the way she describes it sounds awesome. It feels akin to the original blood knights, where they wield holy power despite its seeming impossibility.

The thing is, the faction removal isnât really in the story. Itâs just gameplay options, for now. The faction spit is still there. In the emissaries you build in TWW, itâs still separated. The cities are still separated.
And the story isnât gone. WoWâs hasnât been that great for the most part. And thatâs partially because itâs treated like serial fiction, like comic books. Things get changed so much and somethings never expanded upon, so they stop making sense.
Also Goblin links to the SI:7 go way back to Deadmines. Some Goblin groups have always been neutral. They are just there for profit.

Faction removal is part of the lore story, and not just gameplay options. Lore wise, you have alliance in horde cities and orcs in SW.
But most of the neutrality between the races hang out in the mega city of Gadgetzan.
Even the emissaries are just that, emissaries but that doesnât mean you canât just walk into it as horde and alliance.
So lore wise, while the horde and alliance might still be split, their people are flowing in and out of the cities for trade or vacation, and yes, people actually go to SW or Ogrimmar for vacation, imagine that.
I havenât seen this in the lore. Not in the way you word it. Unless you mean visiting for diplomatic reasons.
Havenât seen this either.

You can read about it in one of the adventure books with the kids taveling around the world. Really for children but it is fun.
Takes place after the BFA events.
Oh so something non-canon, gotcha.
No, the book is 100% canon.
Blizz has stated that only certain books are canon.
