oooogh. I really love Maldraxxusâs cast. I love their purpose. The plate armor is fantastic. But I dislike the zone and a lot of the visual themes a lot. It leans too heavily into being a barren landscape filled with shrooms and bones.
But⌠I love spooky castles. And mirror portals. And teleporting. Thatâs fun. DK is the slowest class in the entire game. But I hate the whole âheh youâre a butler for a party gg wp no reâ. Also, I really, really donât think the Venthyr cast is even a quarter as endearing as Maldraxxus.
why, blizzard
why you do dis to me

I love Maldraxxus. Since I started in Wrath it feels like coming home being surrounded by undead, scourge, and desolate wastes.
Also, I love the⌠plague doctor and his slimes. Plus the unexpected additions to the group.

Oh my god I just got to Revendreth and I already love it.

All the talk of The Maw keeps making me think of Little Nightmares. Iâm half expecting to meet a void corrupted girl in a yellow raincoat that drains the anima from everything around her.
Just discovered(by hearing him say âMy Paragon! I have failed you!â after we kill his Bone Wraith form he was forced into by the House of Ritualsâ Necromancer in Bastion) that the one of the Audio in WoWheadâs video of Denathriusâs Audio is not from Sire Denathrius but the Hand of Courage(I.E. the second in command to the Paragon of Courage)!
Why WoWhead and other Audio Sites randomly assumed all similar Voices were Sire Denathrius is beyond me! Seems premature and it was!
I just got to Maldraxxus and already I want to leave. Iâd ask someone to kill me but Iâm pretty sure these necromancers would just raise me again.
I can smell the rot and musk in the air, someone send help
And perfumes

Iâve been thinking the same thing about Maldraxxus. Like itâs just more boring Scourge architecture. Bleh.
I got flung into a deadly mosh pit with war mode on and a 150% damage boost on release day. I mustâve farmed 200 honor right and there.
It was a pretty good first impression.

Iâm confused by the wyvern and raptor Soulshape options. Donât the devs know these forums hath decreed Ardenweald a Night Elf zone?

Yseraâs nightmare of Deathwingâs betrayal in Ardenweald uses Kalecos instead of Malygos. How do you make a mistake like that? Not just his model, itâs his audio too when you click on him.
Taeliaâs first reaction to meeting her dad was to use his trauma as leverage to emotionally blackmail him into risking his sanity, big red flag.
You can do better Anduin.

I think the spirit wolf Teâzan in Ardenweald might be intended to be a troll-reminiscent character, but Iâm not quite sure. It felt like one of his voice acted lines had a hint of the accent, and I caught a fragment of one of his sentences being shortened in the way troll dialogue is typically written. Also his name seemed like a red flag for it. I kinda hope itâs intended.
Pretty awkward for you-know-whoâs wildseed to bond to me, though. I know thatâs the nature of a single player story experience, but I feel like Iâd be one of the last people it would want to attach to.

I tried exploring some of the disconnected island bits in Ardenweald with my fairy dust. There wasnât a whole lot, just âthis might be a random spot you teleport to in a patch questâ kind of way. But I thought I could make it to this far left island with what was left of my fairy dust instead of doubling back to get more.

I ended up just barely missing it and grazing the sloping wall on my slow descent into the abyss. Itâs also how I found out I wouldnât get safely warped back onto land like in Bastion!
Yeeeaaah, that screenshot is post spirit rez. Damn it.

My Druid is my Main and he is Night Fae. That is good as far as gameplay and aesthetics. Yay. But my Lock hasnât had it that easy. The Venthyr aesthetic matches a Sindorei Affliction Warlock perfectly. But the Kyrian Gameplay buffs are waaay better, even at a casual level. Waaaay better.
After going through Revendreth on my Main, I think I made up my mind. The music. The fashion. The attitude. The vibe. I think my Warlock belongs there. It seems ludicrous to give up the Kyrian bonuses⌠but at least I can carry around a big tombstone and chill in the snoot.
I guess most of us have made similar choices this Expac - Gameplay vs Story vs Style/Vibe. I am lucky my Main had them rolled into one.

My best covenant is Kyrian, the one I want to do the story for is Venthyr, and my fun factor ability is Night Fae.
I went Venthyr and I love it, but I really really love The Hunt and miss it so much.
