You get rid of a story element that has gotten them success in the past. They have failed at presenting it more recently which has made it bland. That’s Blizzard own fault.
What’s more compelling? Having to unite despite our differences or just uniting and forgetting the differences? One is more of a windy path and the other is a straight line.
Where was Lor’themar in legion? Where was sadfang? They had huge beefs with the burning legion. At least your faction dosent get gutted then forgotten about until the next time they wanna villain bat you.
If you havent noticed though, they generally do alliance centered xpack/horde centered/alliance centered/horde centered. Alliance leaders did get alot of screen time for it being a horde centered xpack.
Muradin is a Warfront commander, Moira is involved in the recruitment quests, and Falstad is a champion in the war campaign. This is the most active the Council has ever been.
He was also a boss in a raid and now is involved in the mechagnome recruitment
Someone please correct me if I’m wrong, but weren’t Zandalari invading Boralus before siege of zuldazar happened?
Pretty sure the faction assaults are set after the Siege of Dazar’alor, mostly cause Rastakhan has zero involvement in them.
Yes they were.
The assaults started before the raid opened.
Zandalari have long history of fighting kultirans.
He’s referring to the Alliance breadcrumb to the raid, which started with a group of Zandalari arriving on Forsaken ships and wearing Orgrimmar tabards attacking Boralus. The Forsaken crewing the ships were trying to bring down the seagate with azerite rounds while the Zandalari attacked Anglepoint Wharf on foot.
Oh I thought he meant the world quest where Zandalari have broken into Boralus and we have to kill the dinosaur breaking down our gates.
Does anyone else find this really weird and inconsistent with the Zandalar story? The Zandalari aren’t even members of the Horde to the point their soldiers wear the tabard now under Talanji who actually wanted the alliance. Yet somehow there were Zandalari in the Horde military under Rastakhan?
I like de way your Horde operates, <name>. Strong leaders. United in purpose. Steady supply lines.
You recruiting?
-Scout Jumju, some rando zandalari at the beginning of the expansion before they joined.
Some Zandalari just join of their own will cause they want to. We also have a centaur member of the Horde. individual members of races can join the Horde if they so choose.
Huh, that makes more sense then.
That also means that Zandalar itself didn’t attack Boralus first. Individuals from Zandalar joined the Horde.
Not that invading Zandalar for hosting the Horde armies wasn’t good enough justification. It just seemed really out of place for Zandalar to be sending their troops to Kul Tiras before an alliance was officially formed.
I kinda hope not, no point in lowering herself to level of those losers.
More likely she will send a representative to sit on the council. It would keep the pride of Zandalari intact while ensuring she does not tie her self personally to an unstable new government.
Besides, It would be a big scene if she is there when Anduin shows to set up the quarterly agenda of the new horde.
Legion wasn’t a faction war expansion pack, than again neither was BFA but it was billed as one
Developing some serious hemorrhoids from sitting on a solid gold brick all day every day.
(Sylvanas also mentioned that the throne in Orgrimmar was ultra-uncomfortable)
Dosent change the fact that it was alliance centered. WoD was more horde centered, and was not a 'faction war expansion. An expansion being more centered toward one faction is fine and all (though not ideal), but turning around to see your factions lore characters, who dident see much action all the sudden go cartoon villain and sad really sux.
Pulling the whole ‘you were in a dream thing’ at the start of bfa was just terrible to sit through and really just made things, not matter? Did anything in legion matter where her and varian had mutual respect? No. Did the speech she gave a vol’jins funeral matter? No. Like do I care that the horde now has a council? Lol no, not at all. They’ll just villain bat someone down to road, so its not like anything they do matters now. It really lessens the impact of the story down the road, and not once but TWICE they’ve done this to the horde.
Following a once consistent character, who just jumped off the deep end for apparently no reason what so ever, only to follow them around cuz ‘super secret plan’. Horde mop rehash was just all around irritating.
This is why im like 10000% done with the story, consistency does matter to an extent. Whats the point of even trying to like a character and learn about them if they’re just gonna change them on a whim anyway, only to agitate you down the road.
Uhm hate to be that “guy”. Buy what if this is really it for the faction war. I know it sounds crazy, but what if Bliz actually sticks to their guns on there will be no more faction war. Does that mean Talanji is going to be villian batted or just transfer all of her hate and animosity to Sylvie?
To Alliance apologists it is apparently.
Something to consider; Talanji has unresolved tensions with Bwonsamdi, and all this Sylvanas business implies that the next expansion will be very death-y.
So, it seems reasonable that Talanji’s next significant batch of screen time will be in the next expansion, and it may be important for how she views Rastakhan’s death. Rastakhan seemed to think poorly of Bwonsamdi’s power in the end (and it’s kinda implied that he OD’d on his power), so she may end up blaming Bwonsamdi more than the Alliance (especially considering the Sylvanas reveals, and what it means for who was “in the right” at the battle for Dazar’alor).
