I didn’t say how we were going to get there. You’re the one who assumes that it comes with no resolution.
Are you saying you want every new player to be whipped into a frenzy of anger and upset about Teldrassil, so it never fades? Because that’s how it sounds to me.
Indeed, that is the context of what you were quoting.
And did you not read the context of what I said? I edited the post to add a couple more sentences, so maybe you missed it:
Notice I didn’t say anything about resolving or not resolving things in Shadowlands.
Maybe it didn’t happen because they’re going to make a new Caverns of Time dungeon/raid.
It would be cool if they made it a caverns of time thing and allowed us more options to “defend it” and whatnot.
That is the post I quoted in my first response to you. Because the people who played through it are who I am talking about. Do you really think a resolution for the players who played through it can happen without new players also seeing that resolution, wondering what the resolution is for, looking it up, and going “Wait, the Horde did what?”
But they’re not who I’m talking about, and I don’t think they’re who the person I was responding to was talking about. The person I was responding to was upset at the idea that new players might not be taught about the terrible tragedy of Teldrassil and thus would not be as upset about it as she was.
I’m saying that getting to a place where it has eventually faded sounds great. I don’t know how we’re going to get there. But the person I was responding to was really wringing her hands at the idea that someday, there might be a day when the majority of players don’t “know or care” about Teldrassil.
They rather are who Aviala is talking about, specifically because of how these hypothetical new players would be treated should they ever end up here on the Story Forums:
New players will get to be as blissfully ignorant of Teldrassil as they would be of Taurajo or the Purge of Dalaran. No one lets things go around here.
The constant forum policing of night elves against horde players also increases polarization. I wasn’t half as annoyed with night elves a year ago as I am now.
Not Aviala. Elesana was the one who made the comment that started the whole subthread:
"Yea, to prevent players from knowing that Teldrassil ever happened. Eventually, less and less people will know and/or care."
I said (partly tongue-in-cheek) that the last part sounded great, and everybody assumed I meant that I want current Alliance players to stew in unhappiness forever. Which, for the record, I don’t want. (But I also don’t want current Horde players to be shamed, and I don’t know how we’re going to avoid having one or the other.)
Just when I thought the writing couldn’t get any worse, this comes along. I guess they wrote themselves into a corner that they couldn’t find an good way out of, so instead they sweep it all under a rug and end the NE story arc all together. What next, are they going to paint Tryande and the Army of the Blackmoon as violent radicals.
Honestly, you could probably find better writing in a Marvel comic. And these days that is pretty damn hard to do.
It’s the next step. That’s why they seperated the Army of the Black Moon from the “normal” Night Elves, because they will do good trash mobs for the raid.
Same with Sylvanas returning to the Horde since well, who remembers Teldrassil right?
Ended the story arc? someone is cherry picking the datamining
I have a friend who’s been an artist for Marvel for a bunch of books. Really don’t want the pandemic to kill his livelihood but I do want it to kill modern Marvel Comics…
Not ended, left it to rot rather.
No not that either, the tyrande arc literally deals with the burning, dont twist something that is just for new players for your own gains when the story is ltierally the same
I’m just hoping we get a new quest where Malfurion is calling out to Tryande again just like in Val’sharah.
Yea, the Tyrande arc where she gets put down because she is crazy for some reason that nobody knows because nobody will know or remember about Teldrassil.
yea, my own gains when all I was ever hoping for was Teldrassil to not be completely ignored - yet here we are.
When you remove all references of the events from future players playing thru BFA, you are basically ignoring it. It was the even that kicked off BFA, it was the entire reason we were at war with one another. But now the Horde are noble warriors, so you can’t show they just burning down a city filled with civilians. The Forsaken are guardians of the living after all, they have an image to protect.
Not happening as you need to do the war campaign to get to 50 as a new player, so they do learn about it
Most players never stop by this corner.
