This was a problem that I was just about to edit in, that I completely forgot to include because I think they did such a good job on everything else that I can overlook that speedbump.
On my server, people were tagging mobs with autoattacks and tiny little barely damaging attacks and waiting for the rest of the people to come by, in very Draenei-like fashion. So honestly, even as bad as that was, the community lightened it up.
I did like Romuls quip about the generator though Please tell me thereâs a good reason the generator is offlineâŚwait no, I donât wanna know
And Atanayna is like Is there ever a good reason a generator is offline?
Small things like that made me smile and chuckle, because the heritage quest tackled some lore heavy stuff for all the Eredar and threw funny little quips in to lighten the mood.
Ya this is the new gold standard for heritage questsâŚnot that thereâs any more races besides Pandaren that still need one.
Like every single draenei or draenei-adjecent npcs, from some of the most obscure quests you could think of made a cameo in this, even a Lost One from vanilla Blasted Lands
And the big thing being that they are planning to construct a new city, one so grand it will be even greater than Shattrath in its prime, that will be home not just to Draenei but all Eredar.
now THAT Im excited to see. A proper full city using updated Draenei architecture will be awesome
This might be because Iâm a christian, but this tishamaat holiday made me think of the israelites of the old testament and the passover that was a celebration after fleeing from egypt.
Then, it hit me, their capital is named exodar and i never noticed how that name sounds.
This definitely felt way more concrete and more of a promise than Durotar being returned to a jungle. That felt more like a vague, âMaybe weâll get to it sometime idkâ. But this felt like maybe within the Worldsoul Saga we could see a new Draenei city. I wonder where theyâre going to put it?
Draenei do seem to have influences of the romani and israelite diaspora, yeah.
At the last part of the questline running around talking to people. But some interesting things I enjoyed.
The Draenei appear to not be abandoning Outland and Ataanya even plans to rebuild Shattrath. Neat.
Apparently the draenei term for draenei/orc hybrids is oshuânei, which is also neat.
It was really interesting to see Terokkar mentioned. Since WoD I would have expected them to call it Telador. Which feeds more into what I was hoping for with this questline, renewed acknowledgement of what we learned from Outland instead of Alt-Draenor.
EFFING JADAAR AND ASRIC LIVE.
The Rangari has finally made an appearance outside of Alt Draenor. Unless they did prior and I missed it.
Iâm still huffing copium that this will at least open the door to Broken draenei race but weâll see.
I have to agree, I found the troll one to be anticlimactic by comparison. Although⌠you say there are some specific things for manâari skinned folks? Hmm! I may have to redo it on this gent. (I did it on my Shaâtari peacekeeper shaman character, heh.)
It was certain fun and maybe signs of things to come and everything the heritage questline should be. It had the the entire Eredar people come together and now it does seem like the race name will start to be in use again to refer to the âspeciesâ but the draenei name still remaining relevant.
We also saw how the more maligned portions of the draenei now getting their place back like Death knights, Argus/Draenor Broken and the Penitents(we even see one teaching a new generation of what I can only expect to be new warlocks)
Side note, we even saw Asric, so yeah, the faction barriers, whether people like it or not, is slowly crumbling.
I am also glad they gave us a new hearthstone. I was thinking all thorough the quest âgee, I wish this would become an actual toyâ and voila we got it.
I will spoil just in case you guys want to discover it for yourselves. Maybe you will find some things I missed.
Arzaal will comment that you are a fellow penitent when you speak to him. At the end when you cast your stone into the fire, you can put âFor things I did as a part of the Legionâ on your stone. Funnily enough, Akama comments on the penitents as well but he says to watch them closely even if you speak to him as one, minor mistake.
