If you feel like it’s a waste of your time, then stop watching and read the highlights later. You aren’t required to watch if you don’t like what you’re seeing.

What do we have to gain from them talking about lore we already know? Right now they’re literally just summing up everything that’s happened so far.

Yeah I saw this backtracking.

If it’s not a QA they should say so unambiguously.

Are you still confused?

So this is a BfA Lore stream, they should have made that more clear. The two post they have made made it seem like it was more of a general lore stream not just summing up what has happened already in BfA.

I’m confused as to what this is supposed to be. The first ten minutes was them vaguely explaining some stuff that goes on behind the scenes. And the last ten minutes has been “Yeah, so Jaina exists. From Warcraft 3. She went to Kul’tiras. That cinematic was great! Saurfang, he also exists. He’s doing stuff!”

So have they actually said anything that is different from any of the previous iterations of “well, ‘evil’ is in the eye of the beholder, Sylvanas definitely has an agenda and you’ll find out more about it soon, both sides are doing some shady things”? I’m stuck at work and can’t listen to the stream.

They made it clear that it was a lore stream.

When it was expected it’d be a Q&A, they clarified and said it would ‘not be much of a Q&A’, which implies that they’d spend some small amount of time on it.

There’s still time for me to be proven wrong and I’ll eat my crow very happily if so.

They’re just talking about why WoW is great and the cinematics are awesome and talking about Jaina, Bwonsamdi, and characters. Talanji as ‘yet another female presence’.

I’m glad she just got reduced to her gender.

No, they spent some time talking about how their different teams operate. Now they’re just kind of recapping some of the characters.

So I cant really watch the stream atm (at work) so I’m checking out the mmo champ recap and


“People have strong feelings about the state of the Horde right now, and the conflict allows good storytelling and depth to develop.”

Hooooo boy

I understand that. But it’s a “Lore Stream”. What options are there? There’s Q&A and that’s about it. Right now they’re just saying “Bwonswamdi, wow. He exists. Loa of Death. Voice actor great, so exciting!”

Even though I agree with that, it’s stuff we already heard at BlizzCon.

Oh, Alynsa of ten minutes ago. If only I could go back in time to tell you not to worry. Nothing to rage over, because ultimately nothing at all was said. Except “cool characters are cool, guys!”

Alright my enthusiasm for this stream is dead. I’ll just read the highlights later.

Oh cool they’re talking about Flynn.

I wonder if they’ll address why we can’t make Kul Tirans that look like him, since he is, after all, Kul Tiran.

“It was so awesome of us to pair up these two characters and making this other character so cool. When we designed Bwonswamdi, awesome. We did good on Rezan too, wow! Very cool!”

Blizz just patting themselves on the back while the community is upset is rather tone deaf of Blizzard. We really shouldn’t expect anything else.

An interesting discussion in how development feels to the developer, but definitely not much on assuaging anything.
