Meet with Lorewalker Cho in Stormwind, Orgrimmar, or Dornogal to experience iconic lore moments in Azeroth in the Legacy of Arathor content update. Players level 10 and above can explore three storylines carefully curated by Lorewalker Cho to learn more about Xal’atath, the Ethereals, and The Lich King. Each storyline consists of previous quests and a few new ones.
Very cool! Please buff gnomes 
Each week a new quest becomes available 
june 17th
ya saw that after i commented from a link that actually says patch instead of there post
Does Lorewalker Cho have a form of storytelling conduit energy that only allows him to give one quest per week?
most likely more time gating
I’m skeptical of this.
Generally speaking, more story content is a good thing. Lorewalker Cho has a great cadence that’s well suited for narrating stories, also a plus.
But… this is looking like a “band-aid” solution.
A new questline to summarize important plot points (and add new ones you can’t be bothered to properly integrate otherwise) into a condensed new questline rather than going back and fixing the older content.
I’ll give it a shot, but something just feels fishy here.
I’m looking forward to this.
This is something I’ve been sort of asking for for some time.
For me, the best presentation of WoW Lore has been the RTS games, WC3 notably.
You have the scenarios intermixed with the involved cut scenes.
Having someone go through major lore arcs within WoW, gather the up into a custom questline (along with interim Lorewalker Cho narration), I think is a great way to try and do similar to what WC3 did.
One of my favorite events in WoD was the two (Ally and Horde) min campaigns that they added to that zone that I can’t think of. Operation Stormshield or something was the name of the ally one.
No matter.
Anyway, the way it worked was that you had dailies to do, with the dailies you quickly gained rep, and once you hit a rep threshold, you got a new quest, and hopped on a kite to fly off to some destination. During the flight, the pilot was catching you up on the Bell and Gorash and the shenanigans ensuing.
It was a great storytelling mechanic.
So, I’m hopeful and looking forward to these vignettes.
Can’t wait to try this out, hope it’s a good questing experience
Last time I tried it on PTR, I kept dying to elites the Arthas story forces you to kill. I hope they fixed that.
Either way, I am sick and tired of Arthas, not going to lie. I never gave a crap about him and it is annoying having to keep seeing him. We should’ve stopped seeing him entirely after WotLK concluded, except for anniversary events.
He does, it’s called “the average attention span of WoW players”
Let’s just say that while the intent seems to be in the right place, I’m concerned this will turn into the “lazy solution” to just do a recap old storylines rather than making sure the old storylines are worth doing today.
… yeah, they’re really starting to look like “recap episode” using previously aired clips.
Scenarios mixed with cutscenes shouldn’t be regarded as “special”. It should be normal, so the story can actually be told.
Maybe I’m just used to playing other games recently. But since Blizz has said they want to improve the story, I don’t think it’s right to give them a pass based on WoW’s earlier story content and presentation; so I am looking for that higher standard now.
So that’s my concern here, them falling into the easy solution rather than fixing the underlying problems.
This article leaves out one VERY important detail… when this feature will be in the game. I know that you can look elsewhere to find the answer, but someone “just passing by” could read that article and think that the feature is already in the game today.
You lost me at Lorewalker Cho.
Sure, perhaps in the future.
But right now, the lore is scattered across 10 (5) levels of character leveling, plus several patches released throughout the expansion.
Also, the story is not particularly linear, but can be quite fragmented.
Finally, I shouldn’t have to read books 1-10 to get the gist of what’s happening in book 11. Having these “summaries” are helpful for players of current content and, for those who may want to go back for the full experience, invitations to players to go back and work through the old content.
Going back to Vanilla, I played in the alpha and beta, and I honestly never “knew” what was going on. After the beta, i went back and played WC3, and, oh boy, “Oh, so that’s what Andorhal is!” kind of moments. I never played Frozen Throne, so had no idea who Illidan was, but I sure knew who Arthas was for Wrath, a lot better explained than anything from Vanilla or BC.
WoW is so big, any avenue for more of this in digestible pieces, for me, not being a particular lore geek, is welcome.
This would be me, then. Saw this in the Bnet launcher and thought they’d dropped it early…
Should be expanded to provide an overview of the major stories of every expansion…
Finally, some good ducking content!
It’s never a duck…
