What should I be an echo chamber of “yeah that’s right” or something. Pass.
lmao, you’re a funny lil guy.
I do my best.
Blizzard killed dozens of popular Horde characters long before anything bad happened to you. Get in line.
I am sorry if this is callous, but with the exception of Alexstrasza’s binding, why does it even matter?
We’re not inherently killing Amber Kearnen, she’s already dead. We’re killing a simulacrum of her in that focal point to ensure it continues?
I mean. I just don’t understand what is there to get up in arms about.
Give me the gottdang model, blizzard.

On the note of SA, I hope people realize that by us helping Arthas in the past we would ultimately be complicit as well in Sylvanas’ fate which also happens to have a SA allegory to it.
The difference is ARTHAS is still ultimately responsible for what happened to Sylvanas. This new quest with Alex is having the players be somewhat responsible for her continued enslavement and force SA tactics that the Dragonmaw used on her.
They’re two entirely different scenarios and I really hope your not that dense and you know the difference
golden’s not a good writer and her ideas degrade the setting and its characters.
honoring her work is a disservice to the setting, and makes you look bad.
We are no more responsible for what happens to Alexzstraza then Sylvanas.
Again, we are not doing it. It is still Nekros/the Dragonmaw doing it. The only thing we are doing is making sure the timeline happens the way it original did.
Yes, we are. We are literally finding and handing the demon soul back to the dragonmaw, making us partially responsible for her continued enslavement instead of letting her escape earlier.
And we made sure Arthas found the grain that ultimately leads him to purging Stratholme/becoming a Death knight and killing/torturing Sylvanas.
I am fine with edgier quests and story lines, but it feels a bit wrong to have the players participate in the SA of Alexstrazsa, even to maintain the timeways.
I think the topic is fine to be discussed and brought up… but having the Players actively facilitate it? That seems unnecessary and frankly tone deaf.
This discussion reminds me of an old Chris Rock joke (I paraphrase) :
“The R word is the most cruel thing you can do. Worse than killing. We want to find Osama Bin Laden and kill him, but no one is saying let’s find him and R-word him, because that is always wrong.”
Since you are extremely dense as usual. It’s a quest that’s in poor taste, considering who the character is, her warcraft 2 arc and the allegations and lawsuits ongoing at blizzard headquarters.
But you know that
Yes, we know about the lawsuit. Having said that this has been part of her story long before said lawsuit. It shouldnt simply be something we simply ignore and more importantly dark themes like these should not be taboo in Warcraft.
Yes they should be, considering who wrote these quests. It’s tone deaf and just wrong
Reading about something terrible in the history books is one thing. That’s where stuff like this should be left.
Traveling back in time to help make sure terrible things happened?
Yeah, F that. It’s stupid and cliche’, it’s been done to death, but they keep doing it because they have such a gimped level of imagination that they don’t know how to do anything else.
This is especially in poor taste. A quest where we travel back in time to make sure a woman remains in bondage as a forced brood mare? After all the trouble they’ve gotten themselves in for misogyny and sexual harrassment?
Frickin’ really, Blizz?
It’s soo tone deaf that it’s beyond disgusting that they thought the quest with alex was a good idea to add to the game. And I honestly don’t know why people are defending this garbage.
it’s rad that the alliance will actually be culpable for something the horde is usually only culpable for, for once.
We are not “culpable” of anything. It was still The Dragonmaw who ultimately caused this and whoever is messing with the timeways.
