If your cause is to change how Blizzard designs future content, then you’re doing your cause more harm than good with these mistakes, exaggerations and unreasonable demands.
At the best you’re identifying yourself as unpleasable and thus not worth attempting to please so Blizzard will write you off. At the very worst you’re identifying yourself as supremely unaware of the actual story to date, and Blizzard could simply put more effort into telling you what has already happened, effort that makes them changing the story less likely.
Now, if your cause is to just win some points in a pointless argument on the Story Forums then… I guess have at it. I don’t understand the rules of that game but I hope you’re doing well.
The story about saving tyrande or possibly having her die because of the glorious revenge she got in killing 1 Val’kyr ?
Revenge / Justice Story ended. Now it’s about saving useless Tyrande from her curse. Would have been fine if she ACTUALLY got justice but this just feels so hollow because blizz doesn’t understand that killing a Val’kyr is not enough!
Got it, you have a completely unrelated complaint to your original assertion. Or, I suppose, you think the only way for “Horde players” to experience the Night Elf experience of having a single storyline end is to have their entire story end?
Setting aside the abusing the Horde players does nothing to fix your problems and just makes you seem petty and guarantees fewer people feel sympathetic to you. I’m not even sure you know what your problem is to begin asking for a fix for it.
Most Night Elf related things were erased from the game. Their zones are gone and their population was nearly wiped out. Soon potentially even their leader.
Yes I do, because the devs stated it multiple times.
Yup they were. Teldrassil, Darkshore (as we know it) and Ashenvale gone. Night Elves’ population gone. Their potential justice gone, Elune and their leaders looking like a joke.
Yes they have, and they have stated that genocide isn’t evil in relation to Teldrassil.
Technically speaking WoW’s story displays genocidal actions as good and righteous constantly, it just never breaks out the word itself. Entire species exist just to be completely morally justified targets for being wiped out or (more euphemistically) ‘driven off’ or ‘thinned’ or ‘culled,’ each carefully engineered to be maximally-unsympathetic and minimally-problematic as you purge the hell out of them for so wickedly bringing trouble to the true and proper rulers of the lands. We wipe out villages of murlocs, gnolls, centaur, saberon, kobolds, quillboar, harpies, troggs, trolls,* etc etc etc and the game is quite diligent about making sure we almost never should feel bad about it and never ever for a moment gives this so much as a thimbleful of the pathos or ambiguity it’d get if we were doing it to say, humans.
No noncombatants! No innocents! No negotiations! NO MERCY, JUST HEROISM!
PS: If you think I’m exaggerating my case here, consider this: murloc fin soup is in the game.
*Well, most trolls. The majority that aren’t The Good Ones.
Yea thats exactly the problem isnt it? i feel i have no choice if im an alliance fan but to have this uncompromising position where anything but complete extermination of the horde would appease me however i know this is impossible because surprise! theyre a playable faction, oh we didnt chose to be like this by the way its blizzard fault for setting false expectations and crapping all over night elves.
So yea even if you are right saying that its not worth trying to appease something unappeasable i believe this is hardly a fair assesment, i think its blizzards own fault for setting false expectations and doing a story beat they didnt had any reasonable way out just for easy drama.
It doesn’t make it better that they are calling genocide “not evil” just because it’s against Night Elves, and killing 1 Val’kyr doesn’t make up for it.
