Well i just read the book and… save your money. Like Dwayne Johnson say one time… Is the biggest piece of dog s… that i ever read. It’s a nonsense reckoning and have nothing to do with the lore counted in the game.
So Mist of Pandaria it’s ok no changes.
Wod and Legion is ok…
The problem starts in BFA lore… It’s a disaster… The original time line is the Azerite in Silithus then Teldrassil burn, Battle of Lordaeron, and the Alliance capture Princess Talanji… then Alliance sends Jaina to recruit Kultirans to fight Zandalaris… but now they change this? They say that the battle in Kultiras happend before the rescute of Talanji…
WHAT??? !!! just WHat!!! and why?
Also the last words of Jailer, what he was afraid of… is not the void of oldgods… no, no… IS US! He was afraid of us? Of mortals??? WHAT THE…??! So why he start his “master plan” and use Sylvanas to open the shadowlands, why? why he sends Hela to convince or make a contract with Sylvanas? Just… whyyyy…
They waste the Primus, like the real villian… this don’t have any sense… Is the first time in my life im going to refund a book, i don’t want to have this in my collection im just gonna ignore this thing happend.
Yeah they really tripping over themselves rewriting the reason the Alliance goes to Kul’Tiras as the reason being we the Horde liberated the Zandalari princess and wiped out the pursuing fleet like we did…that was perfect. The rewrite they did… is confusing and just ruins all that. I mean Jaina was terrified of going home, she went home and faced her mother and people and eventually became Lord Admiral because the Alliance feared the Zandalari fleet which was one of the most destructive in the world…till Alliance sunk the fleet in some BS covert Ops mission. Jaina went home and faced all the stuff she did to give the Alliance a fighting chance… to say she did it because she felt like it and not because she had to… what is this crud?
They doesnt care anymore, so I will do the same, gonna refound this or give it to a youtuber friend so he can warning about not buying this. Man is so sad what they are doing to the lore. Is like those people just don’t play the game and ignore everything about lore.
It’s so that Talanji won’t be locked up in an Alliance prison for no reason, which will allow the writers to continue to portray the Alliance as the good guys… I’m assuming. Otherwise we ask, why was she locked up?
Apparently Talanji got a vision to seek help from the Horde… which prompted the Alliance to lock her up, for reasons.
It’s bad writing solving bad writing. It’s bad writing ².
Blizzard should issue an apology for chronicles 4, and issue refunds and rewrite it. Or make an official disclaimer that it’s alliance propaganda so people don’t start thinking it’s canon.
idk, making the destruction of the Vale happen alongside the Isle of Thunder storyline is a big change. Means Taran Zhu was in two different locations at the same time. Somehow he was leading the Shado-pan forces, getting choked by Shan Bu and later spanking Jaina & Lor’themar like the children they were while also getting defeated by Garrosh and locked up in the Vault of Y’shaarj.
Honestly the focus on why the Alliance locked up Talanji and Zul should’ve been more on Zul instead. You know, the guy who rallied the Gurubashi and Amani back in Cata and led the Zandalari campaign in resurrecting Lei Shen. Both of which were aggressive actions against both the Alliance and Horde.
Yeah, I think this would have been the play. It would have made his downfall more meaningful if they gave him more setup. We do see him burning down Stormwind, but at that point from the viewers perspective he’s not in the wrong if he’s been imprisoned for no reason.
I’ve always thought they slept on the total 180 the Zandalari did from attacking both Horde and Alliance to suddenly being best buddies with the Horde. Sure, most of the mainland Zandalari didn’t know about it and I guess most of Zul’s followers were… dead or something… but as for Zul himself, what was his plan? And why did we suddenly forgive him, and then act surprised when the guy who suborned a huge fleet from Rastakhan and used it to wage war in the name of Zandalar (wars Rastakhan apparently knew nothing about? some king…) turned out not to be that loyal to the throne?
Of all the bad writing in BfA - and there’s lots - the idea that all trolls are “naturally” part of the Horde or all humans part of the Alliance is the worst. The writers genuinely seem to have forgotten that these are independent factions with their own history and not just fancier counterparts of the Darkspears and Stormwind humans.
Metzen wasn’t involved, and it’s got a lot of outright mistakes in it (Nobbel goes through them). It was Christie Golden and 2 other people I haven’t heard of before. It’s not as bad as that one book where the author confused the Well of Eternity and the Dark Portal.
Unlike Chronicles 1-3 (which were well written and actually gave us new info), this looks like someone just wrote down what was shown in the game a few years after playing it, when some stuff was hazy or forgotten.
Yeah Sean Copeland cracked me up. Dude literally didn’t know the difference between the Well of Eternity and the Dark Portal and thought he was a “lore expert”.
In that list…well Zaetar is at least a son of Cenarius, but yeah that’s not who Grom killed. You literally play that mission in WC3…
