Edit: Well I could, but now I can’t. After posting this it logged me out of my account, probably because I went too long without posting. When I logged back in I could no longer post. If only I just kept posting all this time instead of just assuming I couldn’t when my game time expired! I can still edit this post, at least.
Hi SF! I miss you more than the actual game. The lurking life is frustrating.
I want to make a night elf mage so bad so I can be Highborns in the Alliance instead of a Nightborne but I don’t wanna play a race that gets crapped on as a matter of habit. It’s discouraging not to have a city, to know that 95% of your race is dead, and that your leader is on the verge of abandoning the Alliance and for good reason.
Of course they were. Sylvannas is the instigator, so yes she knew that there would be a war and that Lordaeron was going to be one of the fields of battle. What the Alliance underestimated however was her willingness to kill her own troops.
Yeah, the Forsaken made the Blight. I don’t consider that to be the same as saying they “did the heavy lifting.”
Like I said, it’s the difference between an expected an an unexpected attack. The Siege of Lordaeron scenario starts with the Horde armies already in place (and the civilians being evacuated from Undercity). We don’t know how long it took to get organized and get them there. On the Alliance side, the armies had already been diverted elsewhere, so there was an extra step needed to get them to Teldrassil, and they wouldn’t be able to even start moving them until the attacks were already underway.
It’s not a great explanation, because I think if Blizzard had wanted to tell the story of Alliance troops heroically showing up just in time to save Teldrassil, they would totally have handwaved that whole aspect. But it’s something.
I mean, regardless if you believe in God or not, he exists in a piece of Literature. In that literature and in all other literature about Gods, there are constant truths in place.
You really dislike me so much that you really want to spark a religious debate in a Video Game forum?
I mean, really, you respond to every single post I make… Take a step back and breath. I shouldn’t be this important in your life.
All this discussion proves that they were right. If Astranaar had been turned into a parking lot by the Horde there would have not been a tenth of the posts we’ve seen about Teldrassil
This discussion really doesn’t prove that at all. Maybe you think it’s cool, because you’re barely invested, but the rest of us don’t. I talk about War of Thorns a lot with other people and I can assure you non of us thought it was cool.
I hated the War of Thorns. As soon as it started I knew we were launching a German WWII style offensive against the night elves. I was playing it on my Nightborne Warlock and it just felt wrong to march through the forest murdering my relatives for no reason at all. None. And THEN the burning and I knew this expansion was gonna be dreadful. And hey I was right!
