The upside is, your fancy hat is back.

Arlifrex-moon-guard · June 27, 2019, 1:15pm

That’s the downside.

Has anyone else noticed that Leeroy Jenkins only got his group killed because he was facing an Automated Opponent? A real life enemy would be caught off guard by a guy randomly rushing in screaming at the top of his lungs and be killed by Leeroy!

A bunch of Bats and Birds(the closest things to a Dragon Whelp) would run at the sight of a Leeroy Jenkins rushing in screaming at the top of his lungs rather than engage him regardless of their advantage!

My felguard is going to go on strike if I don’t improve his benefits package. There’s a mention of better food, a few extra souls per week, and two weeks at Gallywix’s Pleasure Palace.

Poor guy is getting the crap beat out of him in the new zones. I may have to give in to his demands.

Rescued Baine, felt exactly as terrible as I thought it would be. Not even a speech bubble letting me question why I would be here helping the Horde as a Night Elf.

Blizzard: “Because the Humans told you to. Are you new here?”

Laeth-hakkar · June 28, 2019, 1:23pm

You’re a Druid, focus on the green, there’s a whole lot of it there.

Galenar-khazgoroth · June 28, 2019, 1:43pm

I appreciated that at least two humans called them out on their bs during and after. Genn and Mathias are my bros now.

Laeth-hakkar · June 28, 2019, 2:12pm

The same Shaw that showed the most amount of sympathy he’s ever possessed towards Baine after the tele?

Galenorn-wyrmrest-accord · June 28, 2019, 2:20pm

But Baine is everything that is good and pure about the Horde.

So much so, that even Mathias “Can You Say The Same For Teldrassil?” Shaw must protecc

I think the tele switched people’s souls. We don’t have an official teleportation oversight network and regulation like what Oculeth suggested afterall.

Probably not worth an entire thread, but something about Lor’themar just started bugging me. Why is his damaged eye white? Does an eye really need to be intact to emanate Fel energy? I’d say probably not, since the Illidari outright gouge theirs out.

Laeth-hakkar · June 28, 2019, 4:58pm

Was it damaged before that? That might be why.

Galenorn-wyrmrest-accord · June 28, 2019, 5:04pm

Well before, iirc. Though it escapes me if he got it damaged by Zul’jin (or another Amani), or during the Scourge invasion.

It just strikes me as odd now that physical damage would affect the way Elves (and presumably Zandalari) “reflect” the ambient magic of their given species. Especially with a whole sect of eyeless Elves with Fel magic pouring out of the sockets.

Fythra-madoran · June 28, 2019, 5:16pm

I thought it was Zul’jin who took his eye which was why the favor was returned when the Amani leader lost his. Admittedly, it has been a while since I read up on it.

Laeth-hakkar · June 28, 2019, 5:17pm

I think with the Demon Hunters is because either A) they’re actually producing a lot of Fel and/or B) the specific ritual daggers they use to blind themselves.

Dawnsong-tichondrius · June 28, 2019, 5:26pm

He actually lost it during Scourge invasion while investigating one of the mooncrystals.

Searing pain flared in Lor’themar’s eye, sending jolts of white-hot agony throughout his head and body. He knew in an instant that his left eye was useless, and without the intervention of a healer, it probably would be for the rest of his life.

I honestly don’t mind Lor’themar’s blind eye not glowing. The glow of Forsaken eyes immediately dissipated after they died in “Safe Haven”, so I think blind eye doesn’t produce glow. As for Demon Hunter eyes, I think it indicates that they have Spectral Sight.

Yvenathilm-fenris · June 28, 2019, 8:26pm

Demon Hunters have no eyes at all and the Fel itself is giving them Spectral Sight. Lorthemar may have lost sight in his eye yet his eye is still there though obviously Magic no longer flows through it.

Galenorn-wyrmrest-accord · June 28, 2019, 8:56pm

I dunno. Just randomly struckme as odd for some reason. It seemed like the inherent magic is there and should be able to still emanate, regardless of the functionality of the biological eye.

Though, for comparison’s sake, I have trouble recalling disabilities of any kind in any species in Warcraft. There’s Drek’thar. And Blind Mary, though she gouged out her own eyes (sensing a bit of a theme).

Galenar-khazgoroth · June 28, 2019, 9:16pm

Yeah, like Galenorn, I can divorce obvious character shilling from the rest of what went on in that campaign. That whole last part was fantastically stupid and cringey. I was expecting Jaina and Thrall to make out.
