Okay, okay, but playing a rogue too complicated is a bad choice when Sinister Strike spam causes 87% fewer cases of carpal tunnel!!!

It isn’t harassment when it’s done out of love. My momma taught me that and she says it’s true, so unless you wish to say mean things about my momma, you must agree.

I got some very… aggressive emoting and pming once from a lady velf, that was a novel and confusing experience once I figured out why they were positioning their character like that. But yeah overwhelmingly.

On a different kind of creepy i do remember a long time ago getting randomly asked by a woman if I would RP my gnome mage as a baby for a house roleplay she was doing with her boyfriend and i politely declined and immediately portaled out of Stormwind.

On a separate side note for those who haven’t done it yet, but the final emerald dream chapter is up for those who were waiting for it

I subjected myself to LFR Fyraak to get it, but people managed it within three pulls so that isnt so bad.

It was weirdly cathartic in a way I did not expect to do that final chapter and have the Kaldorei story settled.

Ah, thank goodness.

I am so ready to stop crying for the Night Elves. As much as I love them, I’ve shed enough tears and people have beaten this subject into a pulp.

My only regret is now I have to do the whole story campaign again on Nithae because I NEED the Blue/White heritage armor.

It’s so pretty, that armor. It blends well with the Ardenweald stuff as well

I was traumatized by the NE heritage armor quest. Reminded me of the worgen one with how much stupid was going on in it :stuck_out_tongue:

Ah the worgen heritage quest, which actively told you you were bad for being a worgen.

Nothing will be more disappointing than the Worgen one. It was so horrendous that I can’t even bring myself to THINK about how stupid it was.

Let’s berate a player character on their chosen race IN THE HERITAGE QUEST OF THAT RACE. Talk about the opposite of what the whole thing was supposed to accomplish. :face_with_spiral_eyes:

I haven’t been impressed by any of the few heritage quests I’ve done or seen.

Every single one knocked it out of the park on armor but like, it’s a duel between humans (had their interesting bits flattened by canon, attempt at an author’s saving throw there but meh) and gnomes (vaguely humorous) for best and I didn’t care much for either.

I used to like Blood Elf best but I did it a second time for paladin stuff and the paladin stuff was pretty d-grade that greatly lowered my feeling for the whole thing.

My LFR group got it in one after I showed up. Allegedly they had many wipes before the #1 World’s Best Resto Druid Named Maliastre Who Is From Moon Guard arrived to save the day.

I CAN heal through stupid.

This is 100% accurate. The Blood Elf one was hands down my favourite as well, even though it didn’t introduce anything new. The part they tacked on for the Paladin armor was bizarre and felt corny by comparison. Something about it was just … “huh?”

I quite liked the Forsaken one, but I always love punching Scarlets. The Dwarf one was nice too, and invoked a lot of nostalgia for me despite having a bit of disappointment that there wasn’t a Wildhammer version of the set. (Aesthetically, this is my favourite set to mix and match with other pieces though.)

Goblin was also fun, but served as little more than comedic relief if we’re talking about story advancement. I haven’t done Tauren or Gnome yet, will have to check those out soon.

The crummy thing about the Worgen one was that it was both a terrible questline AND a terrible looking set. As ‘meh’ as the Night Elf one was, at least the set is stunning.

You people ate all of my likes! Why is it telling me a Tir3 there is another level? That’s just mean… what is this other level and how do I get it?

I’m actually SO sad that this is a colour changing set and not just two distinct sets:

It looks amazing but I will NEVER see the silver/white version with the times that I play. This is one of the reasons I don’t even use the mount that they had with this feature.

Not to mention… the armor of the mount doesn’t even match the white version. :expressionless:

I am sure you know how.

It’s very odd lorewise too. Night Elves don’t have sun themes and this set has such without proper explanation.

Oh just you wait…

… probably… hopefully?

Future hint for Elf unification in Midnight?

Blizzard: It turns out Elune was a sun goddess all this time!
