From what I’ve seen so far, it’s honestly disheartening. We have Arathor saying that the Dark Horde yes, the same Horde that wanted to exterminate humanity was simply “misunderstood.” Then there’s Turalyon’s backstory being retconned because apparently “the Light is bad now and we need a new villain.” Seriously, what even is this expansion? Is it just a glazing to the Horde? Are we really at the point where the Light is being equated with the Void? Who’s writing this stuff have they ever actually played the game?
Also the possible comeback of silvannas is just dumb…
ngl i’ve been checked out of the lore ever since dragonflights and its insane lore drop of titans putting chemicals in the water to turn the freaking dragons agreeable.
arathor questline take him to the burning steps in to learn about the war, and yeah arathor is like ‘‘o my god the black horde suffered so much poor things’’
Every expansion Blizzard will ignore all the lore that came before and push whatever they feel like pushing at the moment.
Horde is always going to be stuck with wood with reinforcing with steel everywhere (in buildings, in ships, … etc.) - even though it’s only the architecture of one single Horde race.
The expansions since Cata have been hell for those of us who like the lore lol. And it’s been getting worse and worse from there. Any wrongdoing they do from here feels routine as rain to me, the sooner you stop having expectations from Blizz’s ‘writing’ team the better off you’ll be.
i understand some changes here and there but… the dark horde are literally lunatics and there is no going back you know ? some stuff you need to let in the past not try to change for the sake of union idk it is kinda out of touch.
They even retconed eitrigg story, apparently he served the dark horde for years and one of his sons died there as well, that and Rend being a moron made him leave
When you know, He exiled himself in the north, when the horde lost the second war and eventually found Tirion.
The writers are barely reading the wiki summary, cause if they did, they wouldnt do this.
And why in the nine hells are you digging up Eitrigg again? leave the old man alone, they killed every orc character already, are they going to ice him too? freaking hell
It’s not retconned. There’s just more detail added, as far as I know. It also doesn’t make him a villain. And there is no good or evil with the cosmic forces. They just… are.
no sorry, it is said that he found in the light peace and understanding, and now he just burns into a berserker rage light infused, paladins are not like this and this is suuuuper forced.
