Interesting PCGamer article about the cinematic

The attendants are so bloody boring. They’re not characters. They’re cheap exposition and Blizz wants us to care for some reason about them.

Fatescribe getting yoinked by dreadlords? Saw him for all of two seconds. Why should I care?

The Keeper of Secrets fighting to help the other attendants and they seem surprised as if he went thru some character arc that wasn’t there? Don’t care.

That isn’t actually correct. You need to be signed in to vote, so you are assuming everyone who watched it has a google account and just chose not to vote. Also you cannot vote while watching an embedded video, so there is a good chance many if not most of those views came from people watching it on other sites.

I would assume that people who cosplay probably think that the character has some quality aspects about them, which contributes to their popularity.

Yeah, aesthetically, because if it looks good it’s worth cosplaying.

That doesn’t mean the character’s good.

Looking good is in fact a quality aspect of a character that contributes to their popularity.

It’s like. 25 percent of an overall characters worth.

I used to have an understanding of Sylvanas’s character before they decided to turn her into a monster to pander to Alliance horde haters.

Complex characters are turned into monsters so they can be killed off, with many outside purchases of media to buy to understand why what happened happened. Those with actual personality don’t fit into the new model of the game. If you feel better with 1 dimensional cartoon characters going through the motions, you’re the target demographic.

So clearly proof that everybody loves the story and there are 16 million players playing the game right now. You guys keep telling us that nobody has ever quit, maybe I should use the lifetime figure which is 110 million accounts.

And one can judgeth a character by another qualitative metric and it findeth wanting without consideration for such superficiality.

I’ve never played WoW for it’s story.

Though this turn of events is the worst it’s been.

But yeah . . . don’t expect me to forgive Sylvanas just because Blizzard tries to hamfist some redemption arc.

While Sylvannas kinda forgot about the Jailer and his forces…

“You guys keep telling us that nobody has ever quit” …where have I said that?

pretty sure they are confusing your viewpoint on this topic on accident.

Was just confused because I was talking about character design lol

Really? Your annoyance was the inconvenience to Horde players when it comes to her crimes? The players who at least got to choose which side they were on internally, which is something Alliance players have never had?

Which changed nothing and if you didn’t join Saurfang cost us a toy?

Which is still more than Alliance players got, yeah?

When Thrall says it, it kind of sounds like he’s saying Karen :laughing: Anyhow what the funny part in all these spam Sylvanas threads is people that say they, or people they know are quitting the game over it :rofl:

Imagine two lines at McDonalds. One line can only order a Big Mac, while the second line can order a Big Mac or Nuggets, but will still only ever get a Big Mac. Now imagine someone in the first line complaining that the 2nd line can order two things.

Oh also the bee faction, toys, pets, events, and mount would like a word. Alliance got by far the most added unique content and yet still complains over the scraps the horde got.
