"Terror of Darkshore" Horde Opinions and Reactions (Meta/Story)

Dumb motivation

1 Like

Entirely dumb, but it works. And besides, it’s a chance to actually, possibly… make Sylvanas pay. Something that still hasn’t really happened in the story thusfar.

don’t blame me.
it is what blizzard has done, that is the kind of motivation they use for alliance players.

i think that… we are a little out of topic, as for myself, i will stop posting about this.

… What?
What are you trying to convey, here? You’re coming off almost completely incoherent, to the point where I’m wondering if there’s a language barrier.

Okay, disagree fundamentally and you didn’t answer the question. So let me rephrase without using the word lie.

If the Alliance faction is going to restart hostilities with the Horde, do you think Alliance players would rather do so for legitimate reasons, or because their character was fed wrong information?

I believe what I said was “concluded as much as it ever will be.”

Sorry, you’re not going to get to blow up a city as revenge for Theramore. For the players who wanted to blow up a city as revenge for Theramore, a group I’m certain is a minority even within the Alliance, most of them have accepted it by now.

So no. That’s not a reason for a player to want to restart conflict.

But thats not what blizzard has done at all, they gave us even greater motivation

You… have actually perfectly demonstrated my point. Bad blood never gets cleansed, because punishing the people responsible isn’t enough. You want to punish everyone wearing the same color as the people responsible.

Hostilities with the Horde never ‘died down’. The two factions did not part on amicable terms after SoO. Tensions between the two existed on AltDraenor. The Broken Shore was obviously a case of ‘the bigger bad’, and the way it ended only drove a bigger wedge between the two factions, which can entirely be blamed on Sylvanas.

The Alliance was not ‘fed’ misinformation. Genn has, and will continue to have a legitimate gripe with the Horde and the Forsaken as long as his country lies in ruins and his vengeance remains unclaimed.

Furthermore, if you want the player to have more motivation? Easy! The Defense/Destruction of Gilneas storyline was Horde-only. Worgen players didn’t even get a chance to defend their nation fully from Sylvanas, they were already in Darkshore by then.

I think it is more broadly, that absolving the Horde as an institution that has created the conditions that have led to these outcomes multiple times, and being told that it is not the Horde at fault, but its leadership, has led to a dissonance in the game.

Here it is

Sylvanas has never been punished for what she did to Gilneas, Southshore or Teldrassil. So your claims are completely unfounded since the first part has to be true for the second part to matter.

Didn’t he get that by breaking the lantern? Or is he owed INFINITY vengeance, and no one is ever allowed to get vengeance on him for the various people he kills and things he destroys while screaming “vengeance!”

i disagree, but i will accept your opinion.
So,let’s say that is not about that, okay then, that still doesn’t change that the alliance would still feel justified to do anything, probably retake gilneas or lordaeron, or just to make sylvanas and the horde for pay for past crimes, make your choice.
the point is, the alliance didn’t needed motivation to restart the conflict at all, i think that broken shore was a pathetic excuse and i always hated that as “motivation” THAT was dumb. but i was still onboard with attacking the horde.

sounds like exactly to what the horde has done because yes, garrosh was the horde and we didn’t even get the killing blow.
but maybe that is something that is more on a personal level of desires, so maybe you are right.

Hello forum troll.

What Genn did by breaking the lantern was prevent Sylvanas by gaining even more power. Sylvanas herself broke even.

… Do you need me to quote Ethel’s post on Theramore to which I was responding? Would that have made my intent more clear?

Ah I see. He deserves infinite vengeance and nothing will ever be enough. Good luck with that. Try not to get super bitter when he doesn’t get infinite amounts of vengeance.

Ok, I think this is a language thing, because I’m having trouble understanding what you’re trying to get at, here.
We cleaned up our mess, we punished those responsible. Are you saying that because it is literally impossible for you to get the killing blow in on Garrosh, that you are, in regards to Theramore, justified in going after the Horde in perpetuity because we did?

Ok, may I recommend everyone cool their jets? Especially the Alliance posters here?

Etheldald, remember this stuff is a bit more nuanced than you are giving it credit for. There is a difference between the Horde as an institution, the people who inhabit it, and the players. Keep in mind that Blizzard tells morality plays, the only way you are going to destroy a city is if you are going to wind up the shown to be wrong in the end.

thats why sylvanas is going to die, people who do bad things in this game tend to get killed and drop loots.

Are you Nobble? He’s been saying that for 14 years.
