Why are the writers trying to glorify genocide, and now hiding it?

It’s unlisted now. What did these devs expect when they try to justify / glorify a genocide against a playable race and then deny them justice like this?

This is absolutely disgusting and those responsible should be ashamed.

How is that glorifying genocide? The Jailor left her to our mercy. It will be the livings decision with what to do with her. Right now the Jailor is the biggest problem and she has knowledge of his plans. At least that’s what I got from that.

I can’t understand a thing the Jailor is saying lol.

Oh please. Darth Vader killed children and is still regarded as one of the best and most iconic villains of all time.

Stop being so uptight about stuff that happened in fiction.

Christie Golden has already gotten actual real-life death threats tonight. Maybe reexamine your priorities.

You do realize it’s a fictional race in a fictional game, right? And that this game has pretty much had faction A trying to wipe out B since its inception?

I guess you missed MoP/Garrosh/Pandaren? I wouldn’t read Vol’jin Shadows of the Horde. It’s full of genocide.

How are they denying anything? You are finding reasons where there are none.

What we have is fully souled up Undead. She might be able to see things more clearly now but she still is what she is and will undoubtedly now be able to experience the full range of emotions for what she has done. I doubt she’ll change all that much. She may feel remorse but she can’t change the past.

You need to stop overreacting. I’m far more invested in her now that I was before because the range of character options for her just expanded significantly.

Can’t believe my post is flagged. Y’all really acting like this game isn’t about the Horde and Alliance trying to genocide each other all the time :joy:

People are the worst. Just because you hate the story doesn’t mean you need to go out of your way to ruin someone’s life. If you feel that intense about a story, stop playing the game.

Look,the writing is kinda janky but you do realize you’re NOT actually a nightelf right? Again,the writing is hit or miss but you’re taking this a wee bit too seriously.

A quick edit to add that death threats to writers are never cool,whoever did that just stop it. The gaming community has a bad rap as is without you jerks making it worse. >:(

Twitter is basically a PM me death threats app at this point. Its unusable.

Sorry, but I disagree that people shouldn’t be allowed to discuss or critique because of the insistence of living on twitter. Stop using twitter

Please, already know the writers won’t let us hurt a hair on her perfect head. Now that the two halves of here soul have been rejoined, we are just supposed to ignore all the wrongs she committed and live happily ever after.

Thats ridiculous. I loved her work back when she did the Ravenloft D&D books onward. I strongly disagree with some of what she spouts off on, but that’s separate from her work. I can’t imagine her writing this horrid story.

Now there is someone at Blizz that seems the kind from every thing I am seen who is in love with this witch queen. Still wouldn’t threaten to kill him, but I will say these choices have made it much much easier to find a game that doesn’t resolve around this character. Prob will not be back
