I still love WoW and still love Azeroth/Warcraft, but SE is really showing me the vast swaths of untapped potential (and incompetence) Blizzard is doing with their franchises.

Yeah, I had the same realization when I started playing ESO more seriously.

That’s one hype/grandiose way to introduce an xpac.

I got there a few days ago. It was actually at this very moment, with the expansion’s name plastered across the screen, did I finally realize it was called Heavensward and not Heavensword.

Also, they weren’t kidding when they said to get comfy for some long cutscenes lo.

Huh, I didn’t noticed that till you pointed it out.

I’m trying A Plague Tale: Innocence on the recommendation of a friend. I just finished the tutorial area, and now I’m thoroughly depressed.

offers hugs

[Galenorn-wyrmrest-accord (Galenorn)]

Hugs. But gingerly, since that kills Forsaken, now.

[Laeth-hakkar]

IT DOES NO SUCH THING!

hugs the gardener elf

[Galenorn-wyrmrest-accord (Galenorn)]

I feel like it’s a setup, the only way Anduin would be able to (inadvertantly) commit an atrocity on the scale of the Burning of Teldrassil against the Forsaken.

The Hugging of Lordaeron.

… please don’t give them ideas on how to weaponize his adorableness.

[Hahahahahaha-grizzly-hills (Hahahahahaha)]

Gal was actually my first ever RP character… and consequently my least imaginative. He’s just my personality copy-pasted onto a 7ft tall purple body.

Then all those children he ate…

You know it’s coming. Anduin becomes High King, and suddenly theres new lore that hugs crush Forsaken

Then all those children he ate…

I don’t quest IC. Having my personality (and thus, my brilliant intellect), Gal couldn’t be duped into gathering abomination parts for an old man, mishandling a lich’s phylactery, freeing a Void entity from a dagger, and releasing an Old God, for a bit of pocket change.

Edit: Or collecting candles from Kobolds. Killing humanoids for candles aside, there’s only one way they could get the wax for millions and millions of candles. And that’s just gross.

[Arlifrex-moon-guard (Arlifrex)]

Sounds boring.

Edit: That’s one hype/grandiose way to introduce an xpac.

Yeah, it was truly breathtaking. Especially once all the cutscenes finished and I loaded into Ishgard with this beauty playing:

I had to log off and compose myself! It was so emotional.

I still love WoW and still love Azeroth/Warcraft, but SE is really showing me the vast swaths of untapped potential (and incompetence) Blizzard is doing with their franchises.

WoW, GW2, and FFXIV form a trinity of games I adore that I’m constantly comparing with each other. Not really in any negative way, since I’m very happy with the joy they each individually bring me, but wishing I could have the depth of GW2’s mounts as I explore Azeroth, or the ease of WoW/GW2’s wardrobe systems in FFXIV, or FFXIV’s amazing housing and crafting in the other two.

I often find myself fantasizing about the perfect mix of each game for my ideal MMO, pondering which elements I’d take from which game. It’s a fun thing to ponder as I fall asleep each night~

[Galenorn-wyrmrest-accord (Galenorn)]

or FFXIV’s amazing housing and crafting in the other two.

If we had housing, I might resub, or have stayed subbed. I’d do like Thrall, and just run off to my farm while the world burned.

[Galenar-khazgoroth (Galenar)]

You’ll have to give me your verdict on it when you finish. I’m on the fence about it, it looks like your typical “everything goes wrong” snoozefest tragedy.

[Galenorn-wyrmrest-accord (Galenorn)]

I’m not entirely sure how far through it I am. Maybe a bit over halfway is my guess.

It’s story driven, so slow at times. And bleak is probably an understatement. The gameplay of stealth and unconvential combat is a nice break from the standard smashing your way through a problem. Plus, magic plague rats.

I read this, so now all of you have to.

[FanFic] Wallurian's Story of his Depression

“Wallurian came to the Tavern at Old Town in Stormwind after being insulted and mocked at by the New Allies and Old Ones from Void Elves and some of High entitled Night Elves and of course the Horde that Treated him like a punching bag like every other single poor paladin before.” “What happen to you? Said the Bartender” “Well I try to voice my support of old allies I like. Said Wallurian” “Who? Said the Bartender” “Well I want to have an original elven race back into the Alliance again. Tha…

entitled Night Elves

He’s right. Here I am, demanding things like a decent place for the Night Elves to live, and a single tangible victory after nearly 15 years of getting their teeth kicked in.

I really do need to check my privelege. I hope you guys can forgive me.

Linking an old story and not telling us how old it is!?! That’s just begging for a Necro(I had to delete one the moment I realized it was a Necro)!

In any case the Alliance does need High Elves…

If anyone wants to know what my very quickly deleted Necro was about then I must inform you I was trying to continue the story by having my Death Knight Main and Archpaladin comedically ignoring Wallurian and the Bartender’s misgivings by suggesting the Alliance get Green Wood Elves and Blue Jungle Elves!
