Ugh goblins

yeah its like

LEGION
massive elf focus. 2 elf themed zones, new class (which of course is exclusive to blood and night elves), 2 elf raids (nighthold and tomb of sargeras is an elf temple), addition of 2 elf races (one of which was after alliance players screamed and cried and stomped and begged probably since vanilla or tbc for blood elves and then went "NOOOOOO YOU DIDNT ADD THEM IN THE EXACT PRECISE WAY I WANTED BLIZZARD YOU NEED TO DO BETTER RAAAAAAAH), paladin order hall for some reason has a strong focus on night elves towards the middle/end, druid order hall is strongly themed after night elves (which to be fair night elves were the og druid race before it was opened up for tauren in vanilla)

BFA
prepatch focuses on sylvanas vs tyrande, darkshore warfront (and a lot of the 8.1 story focusing on sylvanas vs tyrande and also rewards a unique nelf exclusive customization), teldrassil gets burnt down which leads to a lot of tears from nelf players

SHADOWLANDS
tyrande is a central character in the expac and is still butthurt over sylvanas burning teldrassil. winter queen is said to be the sister of elune (unsure if metaphorically or literally) who is the primary god of the night elves. ardenweald is strongly night elf themed/coded. reclamation of undercity (…which benefits alliance players more since the dark ranger skins can be used by both night elves and void elves where horde only gets dark ranger blood elves, nightborne get put in the cuckshed), sod builds up to sylvanas’ heel-face-turn, sepulcher executes it, epilogue is focused on sylvanas and tyrande (again)

DRAGONFLIGHT
technically not ingame but one of the big stories they put out to build up the beginning of vault of the incarnates (lorthemar and thalryssa have their wedding; the grimtotem guy crashes the wedding and when asked to leave “I AM A SOVERIGN CITIZEN I’M ALLOWED TO BE HERE” before flying away) final patch has us visit the emerald dream (see above for legion), druids of the flame make a return (surprise surprise which are only comprised of night elves), amirdrassil has us saving the world tree and helping the night elves get a new home (which is a unique zone unlike gilneas or de-blighted undercity)

THE WAR WITHIN
pre-patch has a lot of focus on alleria, xalatath comes back and is still piloting that elf from a quest in bfa. the arathi are comprised mostly of humans, elves, and also half-elves.

they ought to start calling the game world of elfcraft since only elves are allowed to be the main character or have a strong focus

Fear not, goblins are being updated for modern audiences.

We get to hear all their stories.

Modern audience literally is just now some want a union and others don’t.

Whats the best version of Dwarves ever imagined?

I can answer that. It is molten core dwarves. The dark iron dwarves. Then comes the Earthen and then the vanilla wild hammer and ironforg dwarves.

I am not excited by the theme whatsoever.

I find it to be a joke thing in wow but here we will have a whole patch of it in the middle of fighting a voidlord harbinger. Lol

It could be fun, maybe it will grow on me.

As of now I am over it. Having to view “goblins mountain moving shenanigans” again for the first time through the eyes of some native avatar lady is dumb.

Dumb? You mean fun and finally something not “the epic fight between light and void, light and fel, light and arcane, like and poo stain underwear!”.

It’s to the point that phase 4 marvel has more stakes than warcraft or fun.

Not even trolling. The whole goblin is based on 1920’s capitalistic Americans. I mean, in modern views it is the same thing but more insidious.

Even their posters the goblins use is America’s Uncle Sam’s “I want you” posters.

I’m fine with Goblins having a full patch. Honestly it’s been long overdue for the goblins in general really.
