Ok, good Jar-Jar comparison. I’d say he’s Holdo. Maybe he has some super awesome plan, but tells no one. Genn mutinies to no avail. Then, Andiun hyperspaces a ship into Orgrimmar, Draz’dalor, and all other horde cities in one fel swoop. Or maybe he’s Rose and Finn on a mission to find the codebreaker, but the codebreaker they’re trying to get is nowhere to be found and they settle for some Deus Ex Machina in their cell. Then that codebreaker betrays them to the horde, but it doesn’t matter because the horde is dead.
Well, you see…
When you reply to something, you are commenting, usually either to agree, criticize, or offer insight, on another user’s posted opinion.
In this case, a poster compared judging BFA’s story to judging a book by chapter 1.
I replied to this idea, criticizing the analogy by stating that, unlike a book, BFA comes with a recurring fee.
You see, the argument at hand is BFA story = book chapter 1
My criticism on this argument is that this is a false analogy because BFA isn’t like a book due to there being a recurring cost factor.
Your argument is completely unrelated to the actual argument, which is BFA=book. I say BFA isn’t like a book, you say poor people need to stop being poor.
Now, I bid you farewell, as I have fallen for the troll bait hook line and sinker and have fed him well.

They were really excited about DI as well, it doesn’t mean it was the right direction for those that solely play Diablo on PC.
The whole lore thing was absolutely disappointing.
It was like womp womp.

Blizzard’s favourite venue for “discussions” is their in-house echo chamber.
You should know that by now.
Don’t forget Danuser said towards the end think it was the 1:07 mark. Were stuff that happens in books and in game doesn’t mean it really happened . Acting like its two seperate things. A way for them to ignore previous lore with retcons just to push there view of the story.

I blame Gemma.
It’s sad that I predicted all of this before Beta.
I will argue against that assumption.
What he said was that the in-game lore books, the items that you can pick up and read, are fallible. They were written by NPCs, and may not have all the facts. Or were written by someone with a flawed perspective. Also that you can’t always take what NPCs say as truth.
It used to be that those flavor texts were assumed to be true in all cases, and formed the foundation of many lore theories on how Azeroth works. They’re now treating the in-game flavor books and NPC dialogue the same way Elder Scrolls does, with flawed and sometimes outright wrong information from an NPC perspective. Which is a big change from the way we previously viewed the game’s lore through the lens of those books/npc words.
It was one of the few real gems of insight during the livestream.
Hints of more retconning in the future. No different then how disney is ignoring starwars aspects.
Disney straight up threw out all the published books and wrote them out of the story entirely. This is a bit different from that.
Less Disney mentality, more Bethesda.
All the livestreams are just boring and offer nothing. Every time Ion and Josh are on screen for those Q&As I get to about 3 minutes and just exit out because the only thing they can offer is the same BS they’ve spewed the last time “well we should’ve, we didn’t anticipate, we see now that”.
This one was no different.

Didn’t Bethesda recently leak players info? =P
Not in their lore books.
