Everytime I hear the new KT voiceactor, I just keep being reminded how good the old one is

Running Magisters terrance today, just reminded me once again that the change in voice actors really just kinda dampens Kael’thas a villian.

There’s nowhere near the same amount of manic tone behind Kael’thas anymore, he just sounds bored and tired now.

I really wish we could have the old voice actor back.

Yeah turned off game sounds so that my experience is not ruined.

(Sorry if new guy reads this, you’re just not the OG)

Weren’t those allegations against him proven false? Typical Blizz jumping the gun.

Yes especially when it was from an accusation not a conviction.

Guilty until proven innocent

Restore Quinton Flynn.

New voice just doesn’t cut it, especially from a nostalgia standpoint.

Seriously underhanded to throw someone under the buss just because “alleged” unproved crap. That just opens the flood gates for anyone to claim any BS and ruin peoples lives. This is why we have a court of law… =/

It’s wild that Blizzard was so fast to virtue signal with Swifty and KT’s original VA, but let years of unchecked sexual harassments go on in their own company and have spent a lot of time and effort trying to undermine the complaints.

That’s some sick irony right there.

It’s funny because today when I did MGT I was like why is my NPC voice sound off. Then I remembered I turned it off in t5 when we got to Kael cause it was weird not hearing the OG guy.

but I mean mega cooperation with rampant sexual assault allegations gotta virtue signal to show they are one of the good guys.

Oh they actually went back and redid his lines because of the accusations? Lol not surprised, I thought they just had the new guy for sl Kael but didn’t realize they removed the old guy too.

almost like they pulled in a dude after a long day of work.

Hey dude…want some overtime? read these lines quick.

Sure…I"d jsut be leaving to sit in traffic anyway.

Only blizzard knows but its almost like they did this what BGS did for the fallout 4 male protagonist voice actor. there is the rumor that never died away the actor thought he was doing a test read. so he didn’t go full bore…

well, it wasn’t the test read. Its why many times in fallout some feel its like did this dude try?

I think the new guy sounds just as good. People hating just to hate.

I thought it sounded different when running it today. The new voice over just sounds like there’s no heart in it at all. The allegations against him were indeed false. Just awful people being awful to other people the only thing I seen from that whole thing.

It’s not that he’s bad, it’s that he’s different.

They replaced an iconic performance and it turns out he was innocent. It’s dumb.

Yeah, either way I think he sounds fine. Some of the lines are worse but I like some of them better. His blood curdling scream when dying in Magisters Terrace I think sounds better now, for example.

People hating on the guy should just be directing it towards Blizzard. Happens a lot, people just directing their anger in the wrong direction.

I agree its messed up that even after the allegations were proven to be false and in fact made by the voice actor’s stalker, blizz does not restore the work.

In essence, blizz is supporting the abuser here, giving her power over her victim by helping her to erase her victim’s contributions to society.

Is Swifty still alive?

When I ran this dungeon in original tbc the voice line and music gave me chills,was epic. Now hearing it, just takes my attention away from the game and onto the company and how awful their decisions are. Thanks for ruining my favourite dungeon

Seems that bad people tend to project the evils they do onto others. Maybe its to throw people off their sent? Either way the last 10 years of watching the clown world we live in has taught me 3 new things… The Govt are ultra corrupt and lie perpetually; holywood are degenerate liars and the news media lies and works for the govt just like back in the old days of the soviet union.
