Right. An entire faction’s worth of Blood Elves were sippin’ Void Juice right under the noses of the entirety of Silvermoon, enough so that they could form their own AR segment. And while the Mag’har DID exist in OG Outworld, it took an entire parallel dimension to pull them into playability, so I’m counting them as a ‘nonsense-made-rationalized’, no worse than worgen tails.
EDIT: Hell you could argue WORGEN IN GENERAL are a total pull-out-of-the-rear-end because, seriously, Gilneans are NIGHT ELF descendants? The xenophobic isolationists of Warcraft 2 are related to KNIFE EARS?
They were researching the Void on Outland, and even that was already after the main group was exiled. They weren’t doing it under the noses of all of Silvermoon, because they were on an entirely different planet. Additionally, once the first large group was transformed they continued to recruit for more.
Also no, Gilneans aren’t descendants of Night Elves.
That is completely new lore thought, a lot of what you stated is all completely new lore that came out of no where. We didn’t know Umbric was exiled because he specifically practiced void magic, and even then yeah, they were continuing to practice it under their nose the whole time. They got exiled from Silvermoon because of that. A lot of what we knew, it can change. Take the old god stuff for example. You’re playing wow classic now much like I did all those years ago, so you have first hand knowledge of this also. That’s a major one, for a very long time we were told “There is a very bad after effect from actually killing a old god.” Mist of Pandaria itself is a entire expansion basically showing the after effects of a dead old god. Then fast forward to bfa, NOW we are told oh btw, all the old gods are dead now, C’thun and Yogg-Saron, they did actually die. The lore can take a dramatic turn, or in that last case, a exaggerated turn where essentially nothing happens. So hey, if what we knew about the lore can get retconned that much, then it’s not out of the question something can come up where worgens can get a tail then.
Lore, you need to drop it. You’ve dug your own hole so deep you’d need industrial mining equipment to dig it deeper.
Take your L, and move on. Any further attempts to post and I will gladly report you as the troll you’re being now. You know you’re wrong, you’re just now purposefully trying to derail/antagonize this thread.
Plus, Gilneas, once it was fully aware of the extent of the Worgen danger, had it IN CHECK completely in-house with alchemical potions. Kind of like Zombrex in Dead Rising, you pop a bottle and you’re good for X time, then you snag another dose. Were it not for the Lich Queen invading at the same time as the Worgen Crisis, the issue would likely have been solved and perhaps even phased out in proper time, and Gilneas remains isolated behind its wall.
So it’s established lore that alchemy can influence the worgen form. Alchemy can also have other effects on the side. Alchemy can also even be ENGINEERED to that effect. Worgen getting tails is a complete non-issue lore-wise no matter how you look at it, and it should be an option for Worgen that feel incomplete without the appendage. Simple stuff. And it’s even bonus content, which judging by the griping on these forums SL is desperately short on.
It’s pretty unlikely that they add the option, if it didn’t come in the big character customization update. Blizzard, being a soulless mega corporation isn’t likely to allow it’s workers to deviate from whatever passes for a “to do” chart that their focus groups thought would bring the most money.
Your refusal to simply admit you’re wrong and have been wrong by claiming lore you seem to actually know little to none about qualifies as trolling at this point.
This isn’t a disagreement. This is you picking a rather stupid hill to die on because your internet ego won’t let you just admit that you’re wrong.
You saying no because they never had tails itself constantly instead of discussing it is trolling.
Seems like you’re only targeting specific comments yourself you feel like you can answer to. So far people have given you answers explaining the purple eye stuff, and loads of other examples of retconned stuff, yet you refuse to answer back to those because it will ruin your argument of “It’s not part of the lore”.
Why would I admit I’m wrong when I’m not, and have made that clear multiple times already. Blizzard has stated they don’t have tails, and continue to stand by that decision even just a handful of months ago.
Actually about that, Blizzard has only stated so far that Genn doesn’t have a tail. That was the mistake in the Before the Storms book, that it depicted Genn with a tail, we all know he himself doesn’t have one. Does it rule out all worgens having tails? At the moment, it’s a mystery, especially when you have a literal Warcraft IP BY BLIZZARD, that you say “Blizzard stated they don’t have tails”, in fact has tails on their worgens. That is a Blizzard game funded by Blizzard and overlooked by the Warcraft art asset and lore team themselves for their expansions. So once again, you’re wrong about that.
It was far more than a handful of months ago and it was a writer who is not even the canon lore dev for Blizzard. You’re not making any case for yourself. Since you won’t give it up yourself I’ll help you out.
whips out ignore bat and golf swings Lore into low orbit
That was out of Christine Goldens mouth thought. All Lorewalker told her was that Genn doesn’t have a tail. Outside of that, we have NEVER gotten a straight answer out of Blizzard regarding the whole tail situation, especially after so many people brought it up to them because of Hearthstone. You go to twitter right now and ask them about the tail situation like many of us have, they will not give you a answer unlike a lot of the other lore related stuff they confirm or deny.
No no Lore this is our Worgen post where we farm idiots like you who come in screaming like a 2 year old running your mouth about in-game lore that don’t exist because if it did you could instantly point out said lore reason. You and your kind are weeds that come here to try and choke out the players who are passionate about the race we play and the options we want. Its ok we have ways of dealing with you just like all the others who just like you have come to derail this thread and just like the others you will fail.
Hell, a few months back, we thought it would actually work if we reported someone impersonating a blue post saying they do have tails, which impersonating a GM person is a serious thing btw. They never took action against that person and never responded about the tail stuff either. A simple yes or no answer from Blizzard would help a lot, but nope. They for some very weird reason refuse to answer right now.
I’m pretty sure it was some group of people that kept reporting em every chance they got till it eventually got em banned. They’ve tried to do the same with me but every time Blizzard has cleared up my supposed suspension till it eventually stopped. I have plenty of emails saying I’m apparently locked out of my forums account even thought I did nothing wrong lmao
Do we really need to go into the amount of times Blizzard has said x then oops, y happened?
We’re not going to get x but we got it.
y makes no sense but we go it.
z breaks the lore but it happened anyways.
This game is constantly evolving, and has never taken itself seriously.
Something as minor and stupid as “this anthropomorphic race can’t have tails” because “so and so said so” is the easiest retcon they could ever do. And they’ve done heavier retcons that have far bigger lore implications.
I’m looking at blue eyed blood elves for the most recent that had impact in the community. And oh look, nobody died because they exist.
