SkÀl!

I’m gonna level another character to max and have one on each side.

23

Well I mean you need vengeance to have peace. :slight_smile:

I hope the Alliance gets their time to be the dynamic, interesting faction.

In the Conflict Theatre, we’re always the ones on stage. For good or ill, the Alliance is always in the audience, munching on Popcorn while we derp ourselves to the brink. Again, and again, and again, and again, and I’m tired of it. Conflict Theatre Popcorn is the best popcorn, and I want my share!

So Tyrande goes rogue and decides it’s time to put the Horde down. The Dark Irons join her, the Void Elves also join her (these are former Blood Elves, afterall, Vengeance is their whole thing), some of the more zealous Lightforged and angry Gnomes also are on board, and of course Gilneas is all in. I’m sure a good portion of the other races would be on team “Varian Said So” too, so you could really have yourself a good internal conflict plot all without the need for anyone to go cartoonishly evil over it.

The faction war is stupid. This expansion just proved it despite being touted as a faction war expansion as we end up doing what we always do - teaming up to fight a bigger bad. And no repercussions for the Horde - again. Our first priority should have been helping Azeroth from the beginning but since we can’t do that I say “Go Tyrande! Kick some butt!”

I like Anduin but Blizz put him in a role he has no business being in yet just to further that lame story.

I pick Genn side! Justice for Gilneas!!!

I will not follow an immature leader who flanked his own land, left his people to satisfy their desire to save the ever-perilous archdruid Malfurion, and yet showed his utter lack of perspective by demanding that all the war machinery be diverted from him revenge, no matter how it could damage the war against the horde, to reclaim a land that could be taken back by defeating the horde!

27

Peace. Why would I attack my allies when I could kill that banshee?

Killing the most peaceful Horde member makes sense.

28

People who main alliance usually love Baine and Soyfang though. None of my horde friends were upset Soyfang died but my alliance friends were all “really sad” about it.

29

?

Ok?

30

Traitors always end up dead, that’s why Saurfang is gone.

I’m glad she one shot him.

You can’t save Azeroth with Honor, you have to be smarter than that. He was a dumb Orc.

31

My warrior would probably go the peace side. She can see the bigger more tentacly picture.

32

Gonna pick a side, then have to realize it didn’t actually matter or change anything other than some quest dialogue.

33

Soyfang is the healthier vegan cousin of Saurfang. He makes most of us uncomfortable because all he talks about is how soy is better than meat


Like dude we get it. Let me eat my steak in peace


34

Ah ok

35

She will because there’s no way they will actually do something new and let peace last between the Horde and Alliance.

Honestly, I have high hopes Tyrande goes off the deep end and outright attacks anyone in her way. I find it extremely difficult (and a terrible form of writing) if Tyrande goes off, does a ritual that has killed everyone prior, does it to become the embodiment of pure vengeance, gains demigod like power, annnd does nothing with it, or is perfectly fine. If that happens? It’d be terrible.

Have her go after anyone. Make her literal walking death. Malfurion was walking death in the novella. Anytime he showed up? People were fear struck and either died shortly after, or fled like no one’s business. Minus a few. Have Tyrande be that person in game. I want a ?? Tyrande walking around various zones and outright murdering the hell out of people. Make her immune to all damage and striking people down in black moonlight.

In fact, you know what? Make it a prepatch event. Like Deathwing flying around the world. Whatever zone you’re in, all you begin hearing is a Kaldorei lullaby. Tyrande humming. The sky goes black and the moon is all you can see. Eclipsed by the silver light outlining it. The dark side of the moon is the only thing illuminating the area. And Tyrande’s humming becomes louder and louder until? Boom. You die. Caught by a stray dark star leaving her as she walks through the area slow, and in a trance. Vengeance indeed!

That’d be sick.

I would also like to see Illidan see her post-postal status.

39

Illidan comes forth from a portal. “Hello champions. I return from jailing Sargeras for ten thousand years. Time moves quickly in the nether you know. Tell me, what happened?”

Everybody just looks at Illidan, half the people still sizzling with black moonlight tendrils leaving the flesh.

“
Uh. Do I wanna know?”

Malfurion bursts in the room

“ILLIDAAAAAAN! I need youuuu! Tyrande has gone batty!”

Illidan wishes he could blink but cannot because he has no eyeballs.

“
Malfurion, explain.”

Death dark moonlight stars break the ceiling. People flee. Panic ensues. Bad juju everywhere.

Illidan: “OH, HELL! WHAT’D YOU DO!?”

Fair point, next time I make one I’ll just hang the text there and leave it.
