Cause this is what world of warcraft has become instead of about warcraft is about island adventures.
Oh look guys a new island where we are all buddy buddy and goingon an adventure

To me it’s more relevant than ever. Islands keep appearing out of the mist and the only way to defeat the bad guy is with the power of Carebear Stare.

I love seeing troll accounts getting tilted when others don’t share your fan boy soft opinion.
You’re entitled to your opinion but when you start making posts on a high horse talking down and shaming others on their opinions of what wow was well you have no argument OP.
The video is funny. Maybe learn to humor rather then looking for something to be offended by…

Literally every expansion since northrend has been an “island adventure” by that logic. Okay cata tbc and wod weren’t technically islands, but still they kind of were. So lame joke is lame.
Think you’re so hardcore? Join the military then and find out. Oh right you won’t though because you are only hardcore in a fairy tale video game.
All these “hardcore” video gamers safely locked away in mommies basement, you freaks make me laugh.
I think the complaints about the cinematic is overblown and very dumb, but this went from 0 to 100 real fast.

I know this post is to Delfaux but I said basically the same thing he did.
I am a veteran. I spent almost a year in Iraq. Not recently, mind you. I was there in 2003 when it was very hot and I’m not talking about the weather.
So, by your logic, does that make me “hardcore” enough to hate the cinematic?

We’ll see how it goes. I’m optimistic.
Maybe they should make all kinds of cinematics to please as many people as possible and have some sort of nuance with the rhytmn of the story?
Maybe some people will just complain about anything no matter what . . . ?
Maybe some people should work on their own stories and such instead of criticizing half-heartedly the story of a video game in a forum?
Who knows?? I certainly don’t!
There’s nothing special about that cinematic, it’s just that one of your faves is in it so it’s good in your opinion; people like Arthas because he’s a big muscley man who killed a bunch of people, which is very manly, so he can sulk around in the snow and people will eat it up because of their personal attachment to the character. Anduin is (or was) a twink and has feelings so he’s not a manly dude and people hate that and see him as a symbol for everything they think is ruining the game, even though he’s been there since the beginning and many of the more popular macho characters haven’t!
Well there haven’t been any cinematics where people are crafting wars, which would probably entail a lot of talking and not actual fighting!
Why are these characters allowed to swap their class from shaman to warrior and from priest to pal but I’m not allowed to?
Dude, I’m letting you know this to be polite so you know why I’m not responding to you anymore but I’m putting you on ignore. I’m not letting you know as some sort of “gotcha”, I just think arguing with trolls is pointless.
I got you figured out the moment you said Breaking Bad and Better Call Sal are examples of shows that are better than the LOTR movies because they don’t have violence.

You can go ahead but that’s actually not what I said; I said it’s because the conflicts in the show aren’t primarily resolved through, quote, “epic fight scenes”
Well first of all, respect. I went in in 99 but got injured just six months in. A lot of my friends went over though. I guess it has colored my feelings about war but regardless you are entitled to your opinion.

And this is still a pointless meaningless meme.
It is “World of Warcraft”. Warcraft is just the franchise name, the thing that makes World of Warcraft is the “World”-portion. Not three letters selectively chosen out of the franchise name.

If you believe what you saw in the War Within trailer counts as character progression, you need to read more books.

Yes this is the argument that is made, but the new cinematic got 1/10th the views of the WoD cinematic (~3M vs. ~36M), which is the best in WoW’s history. Seems pretty clear what the majority of the playerbase wants. They keep trying to force it in a different direction, but they’re just alienating their core audience, not capturing an offsetting number of new converts. If there was some huge latent market of people prone to being interested in Anduin’s therapy session there would be more views on the video. The numbers speak for themselves.
All the best stuff comes from killing something, whether it’s other players or a big dragon (or equivalent.) Even crafted stuff comes from killing something.
So, no it’s not a meaningless meme.

And you need to look up what PTSD is, and why a lot of veterans said that it is surprisingly accurate how it was depicted.
Eh, on face value sure. The way it gets used it is 100% a meaningless meme.
My main question about the cinematic is…we already know about the world soul. So why are Anduin and Thrall questioning what it is, and what Sargeras’s sword was “aiming at”. And I mean “we” as in our in-universe characters, not “us”. Thrall and everyone else already know about the world soul…
Unless this is a red herring, and it’s not the world soul but something else.
Framing this as a toxic gender war is erasure of everyone else’s concerns.
