That’s a very cooling horse that would look good if I wanted to showcase being a Defiler while wearing red, I tried to level a Night Elf DH to get that horse and I just…couldn’t. Everyone who wasn’t Anduin in the Alliance questing just filled me with absolute contempt.
So as much as i’d like it, I gave up before level 105.
Wait so Anduin doesn’t fill you with contempt, but Lucille Waycrest does?
I didn’t get that far, but I had to bow out shortly after Varians funeral. Anduin I get, he’s a young naive kid put in a leadership position, making bad choices along the way.
But i’v given why I hate Genn in detail, Tyrande and Malfurion are so ancient and powerful that they at once come off as incompetent for said age and unkillable god beings, Velen is nothing, the Council of Three Hammers is unlikely to have any relevance to the future, Gelbin is cool but that’s about all he is, and for various reasons I don’t identify with any of these characters.
I walked into Varians funeral, realized I had no investment in any of these people, and suddenly I felt very tired. I managed to grind out a dungeon then collapsed for a nap.
Next morning I resolved that as much as i’d like the horse, spending my play time with a faction that interests me is more important.
Do yourself a favor and do Drustvar, it’s a real breath of fresh air for the overall bore that Alliance is.
Like, I get you with the fact that every time you see an Alliance character on screen in questing you feel contempt, I have that same issue with ever leveling Alliance, but Lucille Waycrest (and tbh a good bit of Kul Tiras, mostly Drustvar) and her little gang of Witch Hunters is one of the very, very, very few exceptions to the contempt.
That sentiment hits home. Ever since MoP where they transformed the alliance into the horde-lite, and then after Teldrassil, I really don’t have any investment to the alliance anymore. I know the Kal’dorei are going to be screwed over more in the future, probably to make Anduin look good.
Blizzard has successfully killed what little interest I had left in the alliance.
I mean, I’ll level my Alliance alt eventually, for the pets if nothing else. But I ain’t doing it until flying is added.
Honestly I’ve reached the numb point in my relationship with the story. I read none of the war stuff during my Alliance run through and very little Horde. Already got both achievements anyway
you should get your blood sugar checked, man. Boring stuff shouldn’t make you tired like that.
That’s two regular horses available to the Horde now. Careful, they might start to breed and you’ll be up to your shoulders in horses.
Unlocking the Mag’har ALMOST bribed me… until I realized that as long as I was exalted with Honorbound, unlocking “Ready for War” on my Alliance character unlocked the recruitment scenario for me. So yep - never doing the Horde war campaign, ever.
Thats an insult to OKT. Lol.
I have a 120 Warlock but shes barely 300 and I’m too lazy and unsubbed to even do a bunch of boring Warfront quests.
He’s old, he can deal with it.
I main Alliance and I only really have one horde character just so I can play with my horde-maining friends, but I can’t bring myself to play horde.
I don’t mind playing the villainous faction in game. In fact I usually main them. I play and Empire Sith in SWTOR and I mained Dominion in Wildstar when it was around. And countless more obscure MMOs that have a faction system, I ended up playing on the “evil” faction.
But in WoW, I liked the horde because it was subversive. You’d expect the faction full of monster-looking races to be the evil faction but it was more complex than that. Now, almost 15 years later it’s like they pulled the rug from under me and went “SIKE, THE HORDE IS EVIL NOW LOL” and I don’t even get a choice in matter. My horde toon is still forced to carry out the storyline carrying out Sylvanas’s whims, even when it’s not something she’d do.
And the Alliance is so spineless and idealistic in the face of all this that I feel so f****ing toothless. The Alliance seems to value its high horse and ideals more than it values the safety of its citizens. Neither faction is appealing to me right now, so I just unsubbed. I’ll come back when the story is less suck.
no one’s forcing you to play the video game
weren’t you the guy who said you got PTSD from the forsaken narrative anyway? maybe it’s for the best that keep on playing alliance
…>_> I can see why you dislike BFA- I’d be burnt out from doing every hecking quest too.
Indeed he supposedly was… I have my reservations regarding that (as you all can ahem testify…)
I have not been diagnosed with PTSD, no. Nor would I make claims of having PTSD, as that would be unfairly disrespectful to people who do suffer from PTSD.
Everything else you said is spot on, though. A like to my first post would have sufficed if you just came here to agree with me.
I’ve leveled a character to 120 on the Horde side as I do like to see all the lore added in an expansion. That said I’m not going to be getting those mounts until Flight is added, because doing WQs to get Exalted on a Horde character to get the War Campaign done, WITHOUT Flight, it sheer unadulterated garbage. Dazar’alor is a beautiful city but horrendous to navigate without Flight.
Demon Hunters and engineer rogues, nuff said.
Bad class choice in Horde characters, me thinks.
