New zone, Siren Isle/Arathi fans rejoice

There’s nothing particularly shamanic about the Doomhammer It was Ogrim’s weapon before it was his and Ogrim was no shaman.

Yeah, I know it was an Artifact Weapon, but all of those are kaput anyway.

Has nothing to do with the Doomhammer’s properties. Thrall has been putting on his old armor one slot at a time per expansion. He is almost there.

I am not giving him back Doomhammer no matter how much he begs.

You’ll take your dollar store Doomhammer and you’ll like it! :dracthyr_nod:

Doomhammer flies back to Thrall’s hand

“Earth-Realm is under my protection!” his voice booms like thunder.

Lightning crashes, a new mother cries

“Planeteers! Assemble!”

Properties … it;s a hammer with a square head that has an impressive ownership pedigree. That’s pretty much it.

You are really hungry to talk about this hammer.

It is an impressive hammer. Am jealous of The Hammer :dracthyr_heart:

I wonder what kind of story would be present for it. Like are we meeting Alliance Half Elves or a bonding moment between the Alliance and some Arathi who join.

Part of me thinks it is just a means for people to role play as half elves more effectively.

I don’t think it will mean that the characters we play as are suddenly from the Arathi from Hallowfall. Even more so for Kul Tirans. As they are from… Kul Tiras. It is in the name after all.

While it could be Azshara, given the naga presence on the upcoming zone. Part of me thinks it might be someone else. Someone small, fat and green. As we are also getting the first chapter of the 11.1 campaign (aka the prologue) and if the rumors are still true, 11.1 might involve Kezan. As there have been items datamined with ‘goblinraid’ in their file names. Plus one of the monitors in frame during the video had Kezan on it.

Also the fact that whatever is on the Siren Isle, Goblins are interested in it as well. Which might also include the Venture Co. And we still don’t know who was Goldie’s benefactor.

That would all make sense. I guess with how the Return to Lordaeron and Seeing Red quest chains gave story reason for the Darkfallen and Man’ari skins, I jumped the gun in assuming that they would have a story reason for the Arathi Ears.

big issue with the arathi customizations having a narrative tie-in is they’d need a reason to care about the factions enough to join them, which seems unlikely. i guess great kyron and some others use blood elf models. tbh they’re not, like, their own race; they’re just half-elves. it’s like ‘forsaken’ isn’t a race, it’s a faction.

He did not have issues. He had visions like a bunch of others and was helping Anduin deal with his own issues.

A raid to kill Gallywix would be so tone deaf to the loudest Horde complaint of all time, it is probably guaranteed.

I could have gotten that confused with the Beta or something.

You know I’m kind of surprised that we are not getting a Heritage armor here. The X.X.7 patches have had them and we still have Pandaren and Dracthyr left.

i feel respect and admiration for the tenacity of horde players these days while also worrying for their sanity.

The power of levity. If you can’t enjoy it, mock it ruthlessly.

facts ngl. still sounds draining tho. i remember why i prefer horde to alliance, but i haven’t felt like horde’s themes have been built upon since… uh… le-legion…?
