Damn, I loved that quest chain back in the day. I need to go back and do that. The game is sorely lacking spooky Worgen content, tbh.

This was extended until the 13th now to get the feat, which is nice. All you have to do is touch an orb when the event is going on then wait for the forge to be complete, I didn’t have to like turn the orb in either to get the achievement.

All fomo is bad, and this feat is still the shortest-available fomo collectible in WoW history.

Yeah, I can’t disagree with that. I didn’t even know this was happening until this morning. It’s weird they did this. When did it start?

Yesterday is when I heard about it because it was linked here in the Lounge. I posted this in the Secret Finding Discord, and even the lady who wrote the Wowhead article about this Feat thinks it’s messed up.

Yeah, it is pretty messed up, I just hope they don’t make a habit out of this. The major patch to major patch feats aren’t bad usually and you have a lot of time, but this seemed like if you aren’t getting your news outside of the game you would have no idea this is happening so soon after a new patch comes out.

I didn’t play WoW at all the previous month, so I missed out on the Kalimdor cup. It’s my fault for not playing when I could, but I don’t understand why that event is limited time.

The Kalimdor cup was a very well dressed up experiment for them to see how well dynamic flying works in the old world. Hence, the time limit.

Hopefully it might come back next year. That would be nice to see.

The Night Elven Kingdom reveres the Moon yet it’s not even on the Moon… An outrage I say!

Imagine the perfect Moon Kingdom resembling all the Night Elven Zones, Shadowmoon Valley, the Kingdom of Silvermoon, the Cosmos of Secret of Mana(including the Kakkara Desert Border), Duskmoon Forest, the Gates of the Moon from DnD, Lunia(Heaven of the Moon from DnD), Luclin from Everquest and Moon Mountain Pass from Star Fox Adventures!

All of which would be on the Moon itself!

Maybe we should put ripoffs of all the Moon Themed Entities on this Moon Kingdom:

  1. The Night Elven Rulers as well as Cenarius and Elune(and her Sister’s Soulbind Lady Moonberry)
  2. The High Elven Rulers named after the Moon(in otherwords not the Sunstriders)
  3. Denizens of Sailor Moon’s Moon Kingdom such as Queen Serenity from Sailor Moon, Sailor Moon’s Civilian Alter Ego Usagi Tsukino(with Sailor Cosmos’s Silver Hair), Queen Nehelenia from Sailor Moon, the Moon Cats(from Sailor Moon with Luna’s ripoff being based on Sailor Luna’s Civilian Form in the Concept Art) and Sailor Chibi Moon(not Chibiusa or Small Lady but Sailor Chibi Moon specifically and more specifically Chibi Moon wearing the Cape that Chibiusa once imagined herself as wearing in that form)
  4. The Moon Dreamers from Moon Dreamers
  5. The Moon-themed Ponies(Luna & Trixie) from My Little Pony
  6. The Moon Gods from DnD(Cegilune, Selune and Hecate) as well as Moon Dogs and Moon Dragons
  7. Selemene & Mene from DotA
  8. Elemental Spirit of the Moon Luna & the Benevodon of the Moon Dolan from the World of Mana Franchise
  9. Princess Kaguya from Japanese Folklore(preferably calling her a mere baker the Emperor of Japan declared a Princess referencing the fact that the original tale never mentioned her as the Princess of the Moon having received her Princess Title from the Emperor of Japan)

I would have the Queen Serenity Reference also reference her Voice Actor by also be a reference to Konata right down to looking like a Silver-haired Konata with a Silver version of her Summer Sailor Outfit

I thought that we were going to see the moon in Shadowlands with how much Shadowlands was based on The Dream Quest of the Unknown Kaddath.

Dream Quest of Unknown Kadath is a Dream World not the Afterlife!

Thros the Blighted Lands is where you should be looking for a connection to the Moon sir! Thros is in the Emerald Dream and unlike the rest of the Emerald Dream borders between the Realms of Elune and the Winter Queen.

On other matters:

https://www.reddit.com/r/40kLore/comments/16gmi4w/what_has_lorgar_been_doing_all_the_time_after_the/

Lorgar apparently has been posing as the God Emperor. Furthermore Lorgar is considered equal to a God upon becoming a Daemon and after that has been worshipped as God Emperor.

Personally I suspect the Primarchs’ true purpose before being scattered was to become Gods to replace the Chaos Gods. The Emperor did call them Godlings suggesting that he saw them as undeveloped Gods in the making.

Lorgar and Perturabo are the only successes in that purpose. Magnus, Fulgrim, Angron and Mortarion are failures enslaved to the Chaos Gods.

In Magnus’s case the failure is not exactly that bad considering Tzeentch gives his Daemon Princes more leeway to do what they want than the others.

Magnus’s motives are solely to overthrow his father’s Imperium. He has no goal to ruin life for his Sorcerers in the New Kingdom despite serving the Changer of Ways.

Guilliman has no desire to become a God despite his reappearance creating one that resembles him. Lion el Johnson has resigned himself to becoming what the Imperium needs over a Corpse and especially the Chaos Gods.

They must learn that it is possible to redirect the worship into a proper vessel to summon the 2 Gods the Imperium needs with the Primarchs directing the Imperium to where it belongs. The 2 Gods being summoned will free the Emperor’s Soul even as his Body serves as the mere Avatar of the Machine God.

Lorgar’s Imperium would do well to join the Tau Empire and Lorgar would do well to align himself with Tau’va. Perturabo and the Iron Warriors would do well to join the Tau Empire as well with the Iron Warriors being assigned to aid the work of the Earth Caste Tau as that is the sort of thing that Perturabo wants!

Games Workshop’s oversight on Lore is merely to tell the Writers what contradicts the Lore to prevent them from violating Continuity so if any Writers for Black Library are on these Forums start getting ideas!

The Tau Empire must become what it was meant to be! It must have Lorgar’s Imperium, the New Kingdom of Magnus and Perturabo’s own Kingdom as members of the Tau Empire!

That new episode of Ahsoka was peak.

I can’t wait to watch it tonight when I get home. Heard it’s the best one so far

I’m not gonna spoil it but it was so good. Art. A masterpiece.

It helps if Blizzard actually cared about payoff and continuity.

Blizz has started making Blue Posts on the World of Warcraft website that seem out of place, but they give clues for the Secrets of Azeroth Event.

This is the first time Blizz has acknowledged the infamous Children of Goldshire.

Can I just take a moment and say how wonderful it is to finally see red skinned Draenei player characters ingame? Man, I hope Blizzard will add the Legion skins as well soon!

Thanks, the new skins and hair and eye options have been amazing. I love them and I to hope the others, especially krokul get added

I’m sad that the purple (almost black) skin didn’t make the cut. I was really hoping for a super dark-skinned Man’ari Voidcaller type character. I can still make it work with the other skin tones though! They look amazing!
