Think they removed that actually.

Did they? Sad if true.

45

Id have to go check but only heard this few months ago.

I believe it’s part of the Alliance campaign in BFA. The name of the village escapes me. If I am remembering correctly (it’s been several years now) it’s Alliance only and you can’t see it if you’re Horde side.

If this is what you want why not just play Diablo 4?

Did you ignore that we had Dalaran just blow up with bodies of various Dalaran NPC stewn about? Or that the Nerubian captured and was planning ob doing who knows what to the survivors? Or that Queen Neferess was turned into some abomination while some Arathi practiced Holy Necromancy?

My guess is that she had no idea she would be so successful. Of course the only reason she was able to burn down the Night Elves stupid mega-stump is that somehow they managed to lose an artillery battle even though they had the high ground.

But then there is no end to the wacky behavior and unrelenting stupidity of the Night Elves.

Highs and lows. DF was the lowest. TWW seems to be trending upwards, but it’s a deep valley to climb out of

I know the location, just gotta check it out later.

I can honestly say that I NEVER saw WoW as a dark or gritty game in any way, shape, or form. In fact the cartoonish style of the characters kept me away from playing this game for quite a while because I felt like it was oriented to kids.

Not gonna lie, Wheel’gar situation is probably setting up some Stephen King Sleepwalker satire.

Further open honest discussion about this is not allowed here. It gets silenced asap.

Yep, and a perfect opportunity for Gazlow to sup’up Khadgar’s chair with rocket power to better chase down discovered void agents in lol.

I don’t know about dark and gritty… but it certainly felt more grounded with realistic stakes. Its hard to make anything feel impactful when you murdered a pantheon of gods.

He needs to add big chonky tires and spiked wheel hubs!

Maybe like a gyro-copter rotor on the back?!

Edit: And speakers to blast a mix of classic metal and flight of the valkyries while he rains hot death on the badguys Apocalypse Now style!
