Why were the Worgen sidelined so much in their own city's reclamation?

Saufang literally suicided himself by the comand of Anduin. How is that Horde pride? WoD was villain orcs not related to the playable Horde.

You’re finally on the cusp of understanding how ridiculous it sounds.

Just because it’s in game doesn’t mean it’s any good. If only you and others took the time to stop spouting the garbage you keep spouting, than we could finally have productive conversations

Genn and Tyrande were giving speech about their people having a good future now. Just Check the comments Here:

Saurfang managed to make a rebellion against Sylvanas end with a single death, he managed to out her without any major damage, thats being smart and self sacrificial. When the opposite route would be either:

1 - keep loyal to sylvanas while she destroys both factions and the Jailer wins.
2 - Make a full on fight happen in Orgrimmar again, Sylvanas escapes, Jailer wins.

When it comes to content, Dragonflight is majorly faction agnostic, but it does have a bit more Alliance leaning content, specially with 10.2, but at the same time the heritage questlines have been, according to most players, better executed on the horde side.

I think shadowlands was mostly faction agnostic right? Not sure there.

BFA you had pretty much an equal length ammount of content on both sides.

You mean this cinematic? The same one that’s currently gettin torn to shreds in the comment section? THAT CINEMATIC?

The Tyrande cinematic was touching because both a much deserved sense of peace. And that the whole world tree saga is finally over.

Thanks for proving my point that the content has been terrible Erevien, the king supporter of all that is slop in WoW

Look, I’m a ride or die Hordie and I often think we get screwed over (either by being ignored or forced to be stupid evil villains).

But this Gilneas situation is utter BS. It is insane that after all these years they sidelined the Worgen in reclaiming their city, instead using it as a sloppy redemption arc for yet another race they completely ruined.

I also can’t understand how BLizzard could possibly be this stupid in their portrayal of the Worgen. Why would you downplay the Worgen in favor of human Gilneans? The playable race is called WORGEN. People who make a WORGEN want to PLAY AS A WORGEN and FEEL GOOD ABOUT PLAYING A WORGEN.

It makes no sense. At all. The level of incompetence here is beyond surreal. I genuinely don’t understand how they are always so out of touch with such basic things the fanbase wants.

Half the people complaining are about how “woke” it is that another woman is replacing the white old dude(which is especially egarious because Genn will get new stories pursuing his own goals now that he is no longer leader of Gilneas)

I know what the comments are. And the comments are pathetic make no mistake. I wasn’t agreeing with them, just incase someone gets the bright idea to think otherwise

I just like messing with Erevien.

It already has with the Scarlet Crusade.

At least Team Rocket has the excuse of “we can’t kill them off because we need the franchise to be kid-friendly”; a restriction WoW lacks.

It’s just bad writing to keep the Scarlet Crusade around. Even if Blizz is saving them for some future “Light Invasion” story, their “humans only” policy would clash with every other Light group, including Yrel’s (whatever people say about them, they weren’t racist). It’s stupid at this point.

Don’t those become warlocks?

Yrels group is going to be fun to kill if they ever make their MU appearance. Be nice to vent my frustrations on a different group of zealots :wolf:

I’m sad she got the villain bat, She would be a cool leader for the army of the light.

Can we have you write for Blizzard?

Reading his write up about how the scenario should have went just….I dunno. How can people come up with something in 5 minutes and have it sound amazing, and paid professional writers come up with something that looks like a two yr old wrote?

No one cared about Baine’s little sidequest and even in that one he failed so hard he looked stupid.

An important death. I rather lose noname soldier NPCs then the last noteworthy Orc that isn’t Thrall.

Easy: People are passionates about the game, its universe and its characters.
Professional writers only care to write whatever comes into their heads without caring of all of these.

It’s also worth noting that frequently it’s not the professional writer that comes up with the idea, but instead has to somehow make it work…

And I am glad she didnt get bit. Seems like Blizzard is intent on keeping her human which is her entire story arch from the heritage quest. At best either have her get human and worgen advisors or just have her marry a worgen so Gilneas becomes joined ruled again by a human and worgen.

I tend to disagree, Baine’s quests were good but i do see a problem with it: Once again to write something good, they have to call the past of the race at a time where the old writers cared to write good stories.
I think that you will agree when i say that you have nothing new for the taurens as a whole outside of a personal closure for Baine.
But Tauren players needed such quests after the humiliation of Shadowland.

As for Gilneas… even when calling the past they managed to trash everything and gave us one of the worst questline to date.

Hard to be positive for their capacity to write stories for a specific race - or should i say for races that are not part of the classic human / dwarve / orc / elves.
I guess that after something like Gilneas, anyone is dreading about the Dranei and trolls heritage quests.

Yeah, they’ve admitted multiple times now that they consider a hard canon a detriment that interferes with Ion’s team to come up with “awesome and cool raids”. I think the marketing team steps in at times, as well. So, in SOME cases the writers are given a :poop: sandwich and told to make it work. That’s why I consider the Chronicles a waste of paper now.
