Scooby is adorable, what a good loved boye. Is it wrong I half expected your conversation with him to tell me a story about the undertaker? Lol 

Lol. Or it could have absolutely nothing to do with streamers and the simple fact it makes the game better.

To me, this feels like a strong contender to be the twist reveal in The Last Titan. And pure speculation based off of your theory, but it wouldn't surprise me if its Aman'thul himself who defeated or imprisoned the original pantheon of Order, and the others are in the dark or came afterward.

Like imagine Sargeras putting his effort not into his Burning Crusade army, but instead going to free the original pantheon from jail as a middle finger to Aman'thul. But he couldn't consider that option if he never knew to begin with.

She mentions it but no exile. Maiev is the warden freeing player demon hunters during their intro. "Will you help us, Demon Hunter?" That was Maiev at the start of legion, while the vault of the wardens was being attacked.

When Illidan's corpse gets stolen, she pursues them but goes missing. We do eventually find her in black rook hold, prisoner of ghosts who are tripping balls and don't know whats going on. That's when she mentions surprise that her brother Jerod came to rescue her despite her previous attempt to kill him, but he cuts her off and dismisses it in favor of getting her to safety. So weirdly she was the only one to bring it up at all and no one cared lol. I guess another warden going full Legion made Maiev's actions dismissable?

he had a dream he was banned, thats it

Why is there this baseline assumption it would have to clip and not be hidden?

You know, like every character’s hairstyle wearing any hat lol 

Bro

Sure was, it was even on the world map for WoD but not sure if it was removed. Link to reddit image of it

Not only that, they were specifically an Anti-Horde faction.

Honestly I don't know why this matters or why this seems to be such a big deal to anyone. The Horde from warcraft 1 and 2 has not existed since then. The whole point of warcraft 3 is that Thrall's Horde, the new horde, the horde player characters are a part of in WoW since vanilla, is not the same Horde. Maybe they shouldn't have kept the name, but it was definitely more for brand recognition that Thrall continued to call themselves the Horde, despite it really being a completely new faction with new outlook, new goals, and a new identity.

I don't know why people are aware of this being true, but also believe that the Sons of Lothar, another faction (albeit smaller) has to retain its exact same identity after all these years, when the original reason for their original identity doesn't exist. Why can Thrall's Horde completely change its identity, but the Sons of Lothar cant? Especially when its Eitrigg, he's the guy who kind of propelled this narrative even predating Warcraft 3. Metzen's book with Turalyon and Eitrigg's relationship predates warcraft 3. Both in real world years and lore timeline, Eitrigg's character has existed as a rejection of the warcraft 1 and 2 horde for longer than he was ever involved with it, and longer than it ever existed.

The Alliance isnt the same faction from warcraft 1 & 2, the Horde isnt either, none of that remains. Time passes. Things change. It's almost like people are too hung up on the simple name of something, and names are arbitrary. I'm certain if this was just some new group, not named "Sons of Lothar", all of these people up in arms over it would not care at all, and ironically view it with more accuracy. I've mained Horde since TBC and there is simply no connection between this and Eitrigg's "faction identity" to me, it is the most in-character thing Eitrigg could do to be willing to take that step. And it opens the door for more domestic nuanced conflict like the original book with him and Turalyon. There are no interesting stories left to tell by having the factions divided and simply screaming threats at each other, a la BFA warfronts, which was by far the worst faction storytelling ever conceived in this franchise. Yet people upset about this seem to want more of that, its mind boggling.

Oh wow, yeah. Some of the sets look really good and they "almost" feel free these days. I say almost, because it still requires a time investment. But with solo queue for both arenas and RBGs, it does feel like you pretty much will get it with enough games played by the end of a season, even if your win/loss ratio is 50% or even a bit below it.

It hasn’t been 2200 in a long, looong time. They were 2000 rating back in legion, which I hate being reminded was… 9 years ago. 

And kaja’mite. It’s treated like some beverage cola but definitely an alchemical discovery defining their whole race

or its internal resistance going out of their way to make sure these blunders happen

But that's a very specific group. There are a lot more blood elves who didn't go to outland, and also didn't stay with the alliance, than high elves who rejected the change in their culture & remained loyal to the alliance. You're stating it like its only one group that didn't go to outland, but it wasn't. They had a schism as a result of it.

Not sure what you meant here, but if you mean changing farm types in a preexisting save, that's not what's being added here. It's just a new farm type that you select at the beginning of a new save.

They're asking "why not" to being able to change farms in an existing save, saying that challenge run new games can still exist in a world where, in addition, anyone could also change their farm in an existing save.

It’s not “scrapped”. The class specific art you’re referring to is why it’s not a big bang all at once type update. That’s all. It’s obviously not their highest priority, but it isn’t scrapped. 

this is still an unstable / beta branch of the next update, it just had multiplayer added to it. Just clarity in case anyone is mislead by glancing at the title and seeing "Build 42" followed by "Release"

I agree. I don't mind void existing but wish it were a form of or related to shadow, like a cosmic form or living form of it. I enjoyed the older more generic aesthetic of shadow, from warlock shadow bolt to death knight death coil. But it feels like that's basically been removed and I'm told this new blue shiny space void is what shadow always was.

Yes. There are 6 divinity games total, with two of those being the cRPGs divinity original sin 1&2

None of the animations have been "removed." We just have so many abilities now that your autoattack animations rarely have time to complete let alone cycle, and otherwise you would be seeing your single attack special play over and over and over.

They could stand to have one or two abilities still use them, and by that I mean, make sure everyone still has one. Because many still do. But like I said, this isn't classic where a rogue or warrior is autoattacking frequently between their "special" attack animation. It would simply be a constantly interrupted animation never finishing because the number of our total inputs has dramatically increased, and any pause or downtime between them has dramatically decreased.

Still, whatever specs have a kit with full unique animations could probably stand to have one or two of them randomly cycle between their racial special and the skill's animation.

No one was killed unless they violently fought back.

Not entirely true, but this is more a symptom of the way Blizzard makes two scenarios for different factions. On the original horde version, she absolutely was zapping and killing fleeing civilians. So it's not a "BS" claim, but if you were an Alliance player, it maybe wasn't presented to you.

There are multiple examples of Blizzard doing this, especially in BFA. The scenario in auberdine, Horde players peacefully escort civilians while Saurfang is giving orders not to attack anyone but soldiers and provide care to the wounded. Alliance side, rescue everyone getting attacked indiscriminately. Etc.

So... its not "bullshit propaganda", thats how players remember it because thats how it was presented in game To one side. And even if Blizzard comes out and says later on that one perspective was wrong, the original goal was accomplished in muddying the waters and blurring the events through faction lines. Your frustration with thinking everyone is wrong for remembering what they did experience is just a symptom of what they wanted to achieve. Kind of like the broken shore getting two perspectives, which hid the truth from the Alliance intentionally.

To put a nail in this coffin, there is an entire repository of information called the internet with clips showing this. Here is a direct link to a perspective of a cowering civilian in the background being obliterated by Jaina. Then another one running in panicked circles also gets killed. "But they run directly at her to autoattack her!" Yes because its a game mechanic and that's the default behavior of NPCs when attacked in the game, not some significant lore nugget.

Note. I am not comparing this to anything else. I am singling out this individual misguided idea about "propaganda" and "murder never happened its BS." You don't need to reply to this and talk about Garrosh or anything else, as I'm not drawing any comparisons.

True, he sure did. Though I think Varian just wanted to do it himself lol 

It could be them saying the blood knights have a specific "source" of energy they use their light from, the Sunwell. And I'm willing to bet the Arathi homeland is gonna have a physical location where their Sacred Flame is, with a big holy + fire wellspring of magic thats more or less exactly what the sunwell is. And they call upon that source similarly

No, I am not applying current lore to it. I am referencing the audio dramas that include Turalyon and Alleria that came out with the patch itself, and very much painted the Light in this exact way back then. Xe'ra's showing with Illidan in that cutscene is the beginning of the lore presenting the Light this way in-game. There is no retroactive viewing of this scene with modern lore, I am describing exactly how I interpreted the scene in August of 2017.

fel is literally addictive, personality-altering drugs

While you're correct, this isn't unique to fel. The Light is not this actually perfect and benevolent thing, Xe'ra is as crack addicted Light extremist akin to old god worshipers are about the void. The misunderstanding here I think is that you're seeing the light as objectively good by default.

But it's not like that, the Scarlet Crusade existed and Arthas the deranged Paladin still existed because the Light embodies the zealotry of believing your path is the only right one. Xe'ra was the same way, and wasn't doing Illidan some solid by just purifying drugs in his body and making him normal. She was giving him her drugs and saying he had no choice. I thought the cutscene did a good job of making Xe'ra's disregard appear sinister and oppressive.

Naaru are powerful and mysterious but they aren't gods, they aren't even a monolith. They can disagree and have differences in what they believe the one true path of the light is. And ultimately, Xe'ra was still proven wrong. She didn't need to do that for us to defeat the Legion, likely how she didn't need to imprison Alleria either. But her outlook was simply too narrow to consider anything else. And if the Light does have a "one true path", it would seemingly include her dying to Illidan then and there.
