Undead Paladins incoming

Essentially, dealing with an irksome plot element by calling overt attention to its irksome nature and moving on.

In this case, players were questioning her place in the Forsaken, so the writers had her question her place in the Forsaken and forged on ahead with her place in the Forsaken.

It’s essentially a way that writers, for good or for ill, tell their readers that they know something is weird, but sorry, that’s the way it’s going to be.

That’s fine. Her instant acceptance - onto the council no less - is the part that raises eyebrows.

It wasn’t instant. That’s why we did an entire questline with her. :woman_shrugging:t4:

honestly idk how there isn’t UD paladins. Paladins, and the Silver hand were all through the lands that was the Lorderon kingdom, and its Allies ( Alterac, Andorhol, Durnholde, Stratholm, ect ect) i also dont know how Worgen don’t have Paladins since they were “human” if they can have priest and warriors, how can they not be paladins? XD

like honestly when it comes to Race/class combo there are very few of the Core races that makes sense for not having them… but blizz should just open up the Fantasy part of the game and let Everyone be everything.

Once again, undead paladins and undead using the light have been a thing since Wrath.

That’s nice. But irrelevant to my point of the new information given to us. If you want to bump your own thread, be my guest. You don’t need to advertise it here. :woman_shrugging:t4:

I used to be a lore nerd for Warcraft, having played since the first rts.

But this story could be written better by middle schoolers.

They acknowledged the weirdness, yes. That’s not the same thing as “solving” the weirdness.

She literally walked into the Plague to help them and earned their respect.

That’s not my thread, which you would know if you actually took a second to check and didn’t have some nonsense response. It was a response to a different thread with actual lore, that you apparently know nothing about, so this conversation is over, lol.

Your nonsense thread is all about “justifying the lore to create” where there didn’t need to be justification in the first place because it already existed for the undead.

Actually learn lore if you’re going to spout this nonsense. :woman_shrugging: You can tout the fact that you know lore all you want when that’s clearly not the case at all if you’re going to ignore actual dev sources :slight_smile:

Oh okay I see yeah I had never heard that expression myself -

That said I can’t stand Calia, but I wasn’t upset w the latest quest line, I do feel they can do more to make her Horde cause she does still feel oddly sympathetic to the Alliance but I suppose as time goes on it may sort itself out?

I liked the lines of Belmont being skeptical of her etc, but then I also don’t really want another Baine like character in Horde leadership position but also it’s a council now which feels… right I think (?)

Considering this thread is about a current bit of lore added, I don’t know what you’re on about. I never said anything about them never being able to be Paladins before. So I don’t know what crap you’re making up.

Apologies for thinking it was your thread. I was wrong on that.

Nothing I said was nonsense. I added a new addition to the lore. What’s your problem?

What the hell are you even ranting about? :face_with_raised_eyebrow: Where is this crap coming from? All I did was quote something new and you went off on some stupidity that I can’t even comprehend. Literally nowhere did I ever say there wasn’t justification in the past. I said there’s NEW justification now. Geezus.

You need to check your hostility and condescension. Relax.

Blood Elf paladins can use the Dark Ranger skin tone - this is effectively a Forsaken Paladin. Same with Night Elves and Druid <_<

This is what I was saying earlier in the thread!!

Druids seem in the same boat w the new customization

It’s contrived writing. Some people will accept the contrivance. Others won’t. Both are legitimate stances to keep.

Yea, it’s… weird.

Darkfallen Priests, Rogues, Mages, Warriors, etc. were already established, but Druid and Paladin are a bit eh for me.

Same boat with Void Elf getting the options.

Adding some dialogue to explain it would have gone a lot way and not taken much time.

For the moment that kinda thing exists in a nebulous zone where I kind of want Blizz to comment on it before I acknowledge that it exists. As it stands, it’s difficult for me to see it as anything other than a quirk of gameplay/customization rather than as a deliberate addition to the lore.

i watched a youtube video the other day

it was a conversation about blizz intention to ultimately allow every class to be played by every race and how DF would be a major jumping off point for that effort

cant remember the vid but it was from someone who has a good feel for whats coming down the pipe

and lets be honest the money they are making with cross faction and all the services people are buying

imagine gnome paladins or human druids

massive cash cow

its inevitable

I’m using the options on my Warlock, I always in my head imagined his story was that of being raised during the fourth war, so the new options allow player agency for me to have that.

I’d like the eyes separated and more diverse options besides just the very pale one we received.
