Da Amani di chuka!

[Fezzy-draenor (Fezzy)]

I believe bellular talks about that in one of his videos lol

[Drede-cairne (Drede)]

Exactly, because those parts were developer mandated. “okay so this patch is Nazjatar and the next the Black Empire. Also they have to be self contained, and the last patch ends with N’zoth’s death. Thank uuuuu”

Imagine if Azshara was the last boss of the Xpac and got the patch she deserved as the 3erd Warbringer.

Like an actual War with the Naga after both factions where weakened.

Honestly at this point I’d rather have the exodar be dismantled for parts and that they just rebuilt -or better, finish- “Karabor” on Azuremist isle. Don’t let that go to waste!

Draenei are not allowed to make settlements apparently.

But Dalaran is already kinda like that, and Tempest keep also could, so another one? Eh.

I meant with warring factions in the city.

[Fezzy-draenor (Fezzy)]

They tried to make one in ashenvale… That got hurt bad in cata… Then totally murdered in BFA.

[Guzzle-barthilas]

Well you guys gotta stop building stuff on our rightful territory.

[Lannisteros-proudmoore]

But for real, it would be something that would certainly irk BE’s a lot, to have the people that they lost/exiled get together trying to fight them.

Agreed I think it could flesh out the BE/VE feud a ton, and give VEs interesting screen time with HEs, and add to faction rivalry. I think it makes sense too seeing the VEs and HEs in this scenario together, and NEs doing what ever they do because they don’t seem to like VEs much or at least seem indifferent like Shandris via the war campaign so that feud to me just seems dated / forced in game to me.

And I’d like to see the feud with NB and NEs touched up on more, because it has to hurt NB choosing Horde, they live lavish in Suramar / using their arcane knowledge to bolster Horde etc, that feud seems even though its 10K years old also more fresh and real to me

[Fezzy-draenor (Fezzy)]

How dare you. Thats my homeland! Lol

[Cezol-darkspear]

rightful territory.

Can’t wait for Tyrandes rampage 2: Electric bugaloo, ft. Dark demigod moon powers.

[Guzzle-barthilas]

How dare you. Thats my homeland! Lol

It’s our homeland too.

As in we chop down all the trees and make homes out of them.

See, that’s the point. It would have been a better narrative, but they needed to rush everything cause they had to wrap. nzoth. up. so next expansion we could go to the Shadowlands. It’s all forced by decisions already made.

At least Aszhara is not dead. Like they at least managed to not waste that entirely, but it honestly feels like a Spiderman 3 deal when the producers forced the writer to include too many villains.

Draenei are not allowed to make settlements apparently.

LET. DRAENEI. SETTLE.

I meant with warring factions in the city.

Like the concept, but it’s hard to see it working since we end up on sanctuaries because of larger threats that demand cooperation. So you can’t foster that.

Maybe in Oribos that could work tho… cause they’d give a rats bum about our petty mortal squabbles heh.

[Talendrion-wyrmrest-accord (Talendrion)]

Tyrande’s only mistake was not wipe out the orcs from Ashenvale when she had the chance.

I mean even if they saved the world, it hasn’t really worked out for the Night Elves heh.

[Fezzy-draenor (Fezzy)]

Ooooooof!

Murdered.

[Guzzle-barthilas]

The Night Elves are sort of doomed by geography tbh, being right next to the heart of Horde power means they never had a chance.

Siding with the Alliance had to happen to make them playable, but it was a stupid idea in-universe.

Part of me thinks most NE’s are like *pretends to be shocked * meme about the Nightborne. “Oh, who would have thought they would still be self serving buttwipes!”

I would think the Highborne could be more offended. That could be interesting.

[Fezzy-draenor (Fezzy)]

Another stupid idea was… Why didn’t we just trade them lumber? We can make it without damaging the trees.

[Cezol-darkspear]

Why didn’t we just trade them lumber?

They did, but Horde will Horde.

They had a wood treaty but Horde got greedy under garrosh and sylvanas.

[Guzzle-barthilas]

Well, salt basically. Pre-BC up until the end of Wrath it was traded. Then the Twilight Hammer did some shady stuff to implicate the Horde for trying to kill Varian, so the night elves stopped trading them wood. The Horde’s response wasn’t friendly.

[Lannisteros-proudmoore]

I like the NB on Horde they do seem to have more in common with BEs by miles. It just seems so odd that the NE feud hasn’t been touched on outside of the Tyrande dialogue with Thal in the recruitment. Then I did notice some Dark Iron dialogue in Xiabala and offhand comment about “these are not our blue elves much meaner”. Seems a shame they didn’t develop that some more in BFA the faction war expansion

I mean, ultimately stupid, but I do think it made sense at the time. The poor Night Elves just didn’t know the alliance would be so ineffectual at actually aiding them in what was supposed to be a mutually beneficial deal.

Like in paper makes sense. “Oh we need allies to protect our territory, keep the Horde in check” it was just such a bummer the alliance turned out to be so useless.

Maybe, but for real I think most night elves had little expectations about the NB because they were Highborne. There could have been a feud, but again, it also feels like “we were proven right hah!”
