Utilizing Iron Horde Assets

Lore Story Forum
1
How do you feel about the Horde utilizing Iron Horde assets? Personally I think it's a great touch and I can't wait to see if we are actually using that factory under our capital.

If we can have more Iron Horde toys does this mean we can soon have Iron Reavers?

There's a incursion world quest where a Mag'har let's loose some Goren on some Dark Iron Golems.

I like them utilizing Draenor stuff. Makes them using the AU more justifiable.

Both their technical and biomechanical assets excite me. Utilizing goren to combat Dark Irons is very creative.

See that, Blizz? Do more fun stuff like that. Less Brennadams and Purge Squads.

The character limit cannot contain the extent to which I would repeat ‘Yes’. More please. All of it please. Everywhere, please. Trains. Battleships. Cannons. Iron Stars. Goren.

Bring all those sexy Iron Horde assets to Kalimdor and turn Durotar into Gorgrond. Run a train to Thunder Bluff and Tanaris (using crossroads as the crossroads!)

Yes. Yes. Yes

No strong opinion, The Horde needs it.

I just hope they continue WoD’s ‘continuity’ and have a few Orcs have issue with making machines of war instead of axes. Like the traitor in Blackrock who gives you an attunement quest.

Though I’m probably in the minority when it comes to that hope.

I would also like to see more clan representation in Orgimmar of the different orcs doing their "thing".

Does that mean we can use the Vindicaar to annihilate horde strongholds yet? That’s some prett well established technology that’s conspicuoisly absent when the warmachine of this expansion goes to counting what each side has.

Blizzard literally stated in an interview that they didn't use the Vindicaar because it didn't fit the story they wanted to write.

It makes holes in things five meters across from close range. It’s ranged capability is on a huge cool down and isn’t particularly impressive. It’s the equivalent of a few mages with buffed range.

I wasn’t impressed with it in Legion. Are we sure it won’t get blown up by an adventurer on a wind-rider throwing grenades, should it appear again? Bigger foes have fallen to less.

Maybe it’s for the best it stays out of harm’s way...

Which is infuriating... why give us a spaceship if you're not gonna let us play with the damn thing? :-(

I think you also have to be careful when using the Vindicaar as an asset. It may be powerful but you only have one.

I keep saying that the Horde needs to take some pointers from GW2's Charr. Similar culture, with the exception that the Charr actually bother to improve their military tech and infrastructure.

Iron Star Mount! Iron Star Mount!

My only problem is that it's an ugly aesthetic.

Shhh, he wasn’t saying you were ugly, sweetheart. Just your sharp and pointy metal bits.

Or at least if you're gonna do Purge Squads do them right. Send out a bunch of worryingly zealous Lightforged to hunt down the forsaken only to find themselves combating mag'hari that are sent into a frenzy by the sight of glowgoats.

The Purge Squads aren't the problem it's that the Alliance is apparently willing to wage war on the Horde's level, but only against everyone besides the Horde.

Good.

The Horde’s baseline aesthetic is somewhere between Brown and Ugly. The Iron Horde at least shifts that to Brown, Metal, and Awesome.
19
M'kay does that mean the Alliance gets Titan or Lightforged revamps of their infrastructure and weapons too?

Or is this just another "Horde-only Lok-tar Ogar" detailed development that the Alliance is left out of?

I loved it, and we can already see much of its technology in the 8.1 missions, like:
