Yep. That’s how she used to look. If you haven’t watched it, you should go watch the ending of Siege of Orgrimmar cinematic. She gives the most evil look and smirk with that model.
checks notes
Is she not friends with the Horde this time around? Oh, well give it another expansion or two I’m sure she’ll be all buddy buddy with them again…again…again.
its sad she says this and then her life gets
completely turned around lol. i like this
quote since it shows its not like she wanted to be a hero…hell me too, i like being an adventurer not insert 800 dif titles here
Ahh I’ll jump in for classic remix if they ever do it (gl bliz, 30 maps or something) The sheer amount of players I’m seeing means this is definitely content people are thirsty for.
If all she wanted was to study and peace, she should not left her city to be used as alliance base to invade and attack horde settlements across the barrens and Durotan and supply their actions.
She is a great example of you reap what you sow.
In cataclysm it was the alliance who start with the aggression by attacking the horde from theramore and taking Honor’s stand and besieging the city of crossroads, one day before the cataclysm actually hit the world, MOP was the escalation of a blood war, that while Anduin was able to break Varian down, no one could stop Garrosh warmongering.
Same way theramore was justified, as she left her city to be used as Alliance base to invade horde lands and slaughter their people; They also gave plenty of warnings to surrender which they didn’t.
It would not, thunderbluff is far way from theramore
But I’ve been doing the Horde side and it’s literally just Horde expansion into Night Elf territory.
We’re literally weeding out Night Elves from Ashara and then digging deep into Ashenvale. I won’t lie though it hits different killing Night Elves as a Blood Elf marksman, the sound they make when they die are funny.
The landfall of Alliance in Kalimdor goes as far back for Humans as it does Orcs, their choice of allies is just different.
The problem is Blizzard is incapable of writing anything with any degree of nuance. People liked peaceful Jaina and they didn’t like warmonger Varian, so Blizzard switched their characterizations to make Varian more popular.
The sad thing is I don’t even think angry WotLK Varian was even a failure of concept, just execution. He had plenty of valid reason to hate the Horde, even Thrall’s Horde -which was actively attacking the Alliance during ‘peacetime’ because “we need lumber lol” and because Sylvanas was a psycho who loved melting innocent people to make chemical weapons. Had he focused on that instead of going on an insane rant about Orcs that made him sound like a racist, I imagine he’d have been much more popular.
People like to praise MoP’s story (and Pandaria itself is a genuine high point) but honestly the entire faction war was so stupid and contrived, and really only remembered at all fondly due to BFA somehow doing the exact same thing except worse. Devolving Jaina into an edgy hysterical woman who wants to murder everyone and always screws up every time she tries was one of WoW’s biggest fumbles and if I have any praise for BFA at all it’s that they moved her back to her original character.
You obviously not doing it all of horde, one of the first questlines from both orcs and trolls starting zone is how alliance are attacking dutorar and they plan to destroy sen’jin village.
Garrosh invaded Ashenvale, after, the alliance start their own invasion, and after the night elves refused the negotiations of trade.
That is true I haven’t done Orc and Troll starting zone yet. I’ve mostly just done a couple of the North Kalimdor ones after brining my Belf over from Silvermoon. I was aware of some sneaky humans in the south the orcies were going to dispatch.
To be honest, I totally forget that Jaina USED to look like that because I was so used to her new model from BFA. I didn’t even remember she had a white hair.
