So I never got the memo on this one, but stumbled onto it in the Darkmoon Faire; THERE IS NOW A DANCE STUDIO!
But it’s a minigame and it sucks.

The Tirisfal patch had the margrave teaching the forsaken some necromancy technique didn’t it? Am I remembering it wrong?
I find the tragedy of the finality of the life of Forsaken, and that they are at a constant state of being snuffed out, the interesting part about them. If they just become quasi-human, with human traits and reproduction, what then is the point of having them?
The fact that they are a doomed race, and look for the “life after death” bits, is what gives them motivation and character.

I’ve always seen them as a damaged people. Having suffered tremendous abuse and being turned into literal monsters, they stage a violent rebellion and win their freedom only to inflict the same horror on others, feeling justified and vindicated by the rhetoric of their fearless leader.

She told Cauliflower that you don’t need the Void to raise the Dead, any of the six Primal Powers can do it.
So we might get a ‘Third’ generation of Undead raised with the Light instead and they all share a likeness with Goth Zombie Mommy, whose name I will continue to butcher as a meme forever.

Nature/Elemental Forsaken when?
I’m sure this is just some dumb SL lore I skipped over, but what is a “primal power”?
Basically?
Light, Void, Arcane, Fel, Life, Death are the six ‘Primal Powers’ that apparently created the multiverse.
Everything else is a permutation of these six Primal Powers, or a fusion between them.
Let the Forsaken free some of the mindless first-generation Scourge that are pretty much shambling bones and give Forsaken a bone only option so we can play as spooky scary skeletons.

I propose we use the timeskip to just move straight from BfA to Dragonflight and ignore all the dumb decisions inbetween.
Also, nice to know shaman aren’t a part of anything as none of those six are them, even considering this was an expansion that deals with spirits and the afterlife, which was exclusively in the shaman wheelhouse.

The song of our people in the aftermath of learning our supposed afterlife doesn’t exist, or was potentially consumed out of existence because the Pantheon of Death are a bunch of mindless duffers too busy faffing about and being useless to do anything until after things went beyond the point of no return …

Did a shaman bully Danuser as a child or something?
Crack knuckles Alright… So Shadowlands takes place over a 2 year period, the first expansion in years that takes place in the same amount of time as real life time. I appreciate this. But now we’re getting a three year time skip between the end of Shadowlands and the beginning of Dragonflight. That means I need to figure out what Thomas does for three years. Which of course would be, patrolling. Patrolling for three years straight. The question is: how many patrols does that mean he goes on?
One patrol for Thomas is to /walk across the road from one side of Duskwood to the other, and then back again. This takes roughly one hour to do (yes I have timed it). One year has 8766 hours, and thee years would have 26298 hours, aka 26298 patrols. But wait! Thomas never patrols during the daytime, he only comes out at night. So we need to figure out how many hours in a year are nighttime, aka sunset to sunrise. Duskwood is in the southern half of the Eastern Kingdoms, and if we transcribed that to our planet’s globe that would put Duskwood somewhere around Australia, so let’s use Australia’s calendar to figure out how much night they get in a year.
Okay, so Perth gets the most sun annually at 3,200 hours of sun, and Melbourne gets the least amount of sun at 2,200 hours, the median between them is 2,700, times three years would be 8,100 hours of “daytime” that Thomas would not be able to patrol. This means that if all things are equal and nothing stops Thomas from patrolling from sundown to sunset every day for the entire three year time skip, Thomas would go on a grand total of… 18,198 patrols.

Actually with the revelation that Shadowlands starts in Year 35 we know that BfA also was two years long.
The Before the Storm novel states that it is Year 33, and it takes place right before BfA, so that means BfA was Year 33 and 34, then Shadowlands happens Year 35 and 36.
They don’t think about a lot of things before they do them

I think this has been, more or less, confirmed.

The timeline in this game is dumb and squished just to make Anduin canonically 18. I refuse to submit to the laws of time like Moira’s bsby and go baby mode forever.

Gentarn, can you just make a game for us already? Every single one of your brainstorm posts throughout the years has shown more thought and cohesion put into it than anything Blizz has pooped out since Wrath.
I know I’m not the only one here who thinks that way.

With all respect to Gentarn, I think most any crackpot idea cooked up would be more cohesive than most of what Blizz has done.
