My Magâhar has a built in excuse too. He was on a archaeology expedition in Pandaria with others looking for lost knowledge.
My orc may be a hunter, but he does love history

I love that. My vulpera also has the same excuse.

Doness openly mentioned the dissolution of Israel and compared them to the Forsaken. Doness is also most likely the same person who mass flagged me. What do I call you people? Oh yeah, hypocrites.
These forums are not reddit Gurn, you donât get a free pass to be a jerk here. The community rules.
Thatâs the exact thing a forum mod said to me once when I tried to repeal a suspension.
Werenât you complaining about the lax mods yesterday? Where were you when Doness made his post? Why is his post ok?
Because I agree with Doness that the mods sleep on serious issues like racism and sexism against minorities. There is no equity in these forums or in forum moderation.
I guess I have to accept that then.

Yeahh I know you can ignore/sidestep it⌠but its still there. I guess it is because I had such fond memories of Teldrassil from way back as a teen when I got into Vanilla. Perhaps I will feel better with where things are after its been resolved (hopefully) in Dragonflight.

Hopefully Dragonflight gives us fun things to talk about. Thereâs a datamined side quest involving a old Dragonmaw Orc, who made peace with his past as a baby dragon sleeps on his chest.
Even the Dragonkin bartender who helps the old dying orc even remarks at the end You donât earn dignity, itâs the right of all life.
It looks like blizz is going in a really good direction and Iâm super hopeful

That was the core essence of the Red Dragonflight to think that way, to ââŚlove even the unlovableâwho surely need such grace more than any other soulsâ as Eonar put it. It makes me happy to see them keeping true to that sort of stuff and the dragonmaw considering it.

Yeah, thereâs definitely still some unresolved feelings. It seems like theyâre on track to get the Kaldorei some closure. (Then after that, leave the NEs the heck alone for a time, cause YEESH.)
I do hope itâs more of that with this new seed than the speculated resurrection of Ysera, not that I donât love her. I just donât really see the need to downplay their renewal by squandering the seed to rez her? Maybe others feel differently, but Iâd really love to see Merithra shine a bit in more Yseraâs absence.

Reviving Ysera with the seed is sort of the nightmare scenario, to me. Its loomed in the back of my head since the start. Or they do something equally wacky like killing Elune to revive ysera or some such.

Well, Ysera does mention she can come back to the living world only if Elune wills it to be so. Or something along those lines.
I think the new seed is just going to be a really cool looking World Tree. Imbued with life and death magics now.

Me too, Iâd really hate that. I was devastated by Yseraâs death, but I felt like her Ardenweald arc was enough for me in terms of closure and it was the one piece of Night Elf adjacent story that didnât result in disappointment for me. I donât really see the need for her to be resurrected in the grand scheme of the story.
This is what Iâm hoping for. With taking the steps to get Lordaeron back for the Forsaken, I hope theyâll do the same for the NE with their own hub respectively.

I just have slight trust issues with Blizzard presently with Kaldorei story. That âGreat Sacrificeâ being required is kinda ominous as a set condition.
I am trying to be fair and say I think they are turning a page and will do right by us. I want a cool new tree. I really wonder what they plan to do with it. and how big a place they will make with it.

I think I have trust issues with their story-telling in general at this point. Theyâve proven incapable of doing justice to the fans without utterly disappointing them in a lot of aspects. Part of me wants other races to get the spotlight, but the other part of me is like âoh god, please donâtâ because weâve seen how being âfavouredâ in the story fares.
I will say, I am cautiously optimistic for DF as well. Because Iâve always vibed with dragon lore in the WoW universe and hopefully it can shift the perspective away from the faction hatred that they stirred up with BfA.
I just wanna go back to like⌠killinâ centaurs and murlocs man!

I feel the same way about blizz for what they turned the horde into. We went from being a family of monsters just trying to make a better world for themselves while suprisingly being the GOOD GUYS doing it, to being the actual monsters with no redeeming qualities.
Itâs a writing issue in general at this point

Dragon Lore is some of the safest to work with for them; it is quintessential Azeroth and a location we have wanted to go to forever. Plus, this is the first expansion we will see without Afrasiabiâs lingering influence. I am hoping it will show a noticeable difference with tone.
5 Likes
Tone will be a huge factor I think. Seeing the teaser cinematic felt like a breath of fresh air which gave me a lot of hope for whatâs to come. No Sylvanas one-liners or worried Anduin stoicism, no doofy fight scenes where no one wins, it just felt like purely old school lore focused which I loved.
It will be nice to come into an expansion feeling more like an expedition of discovery for once rather than being there to warmonger and call each other buttheads across enemy lines.
