>>729445542You decided to play a blizzard game.

>>729445542>get quest>"fetch 10 watermelons"-_-
>>729445615
>>729445616She has dreads
Any modern game that takes inspiration from medieval Europe must have at least 50% black representation so they can feel like they did something other than throwing spears and eating mud for the past few hundred thousand years.
so every aryan player character gets their own black soldier gf. okay.
>>729446589That's racist.
America worships the black race.America woke ideology dictates that every single media production (games, movies, shows) shall have at least one black character, regardless of the setting (era and location).American hegemony means that even non-American games (such as Kingdom Come II or expedition 33) feel pressured to conform to that unwritten rule.
>>729446040That's not an Afro, Afro is a specific type of hair and dreads as a hairstyles has shown up all over the globe in different culture independent from each other
At this point it is unavoidable unless your game has no humans at all.
>>729446040That's not afro
>>729446967Oh anon, don't you know? They literally changed the definition of racism.
Black paladins are kino thoughever
>>729447494Unless it's some eurojank games. Picrel has no black people, and neither does Atomic Heart if I remember correctly.
>>729447549Diablo 2 paladin is clearly an arab

Why you faggots cannot understand that WoW Classic was never good?Your nostalgia is not about the game, is about the internet community back then.Do you know why WoW became so big? because it was a good game? NOWoW became massive because it was the first world renowned SOCIAL PLATFORM
>>729448308Classic has been 'solved' so the average retard will only do what is meta, so warrior only tanks in vanilla, priest only healers, etcIf you don't get in top 10% of all time kills, it's shit ,etcMost of the subs come from botters in 3rd world coutnries who run around 100+ accounts with bots daily so the entire 'leveling meta' is just 'bro you're level 60, run my lev el 30 character through dungeons for an hour and I'll give you gold' but it's spammed non fucking stop in /trade
>>729448606there were dozens of mmorpgs before wow, why didnt those become WORDL RENOWNED SOCIAL PLATFORMS?because they werent as GOOD as wow
>>729448606um, akshuallyhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Facebookcame out before itBut your point is mostly correct - people th en didn't have the same attitude towrards gaming now that they do. It's not even say, WoW that's the problem, gaming in itself has ended up being a retard's dick measuring contest for near two decades with the advent of online gaming, internet on phones, etc>>729448695Wow was the first one to get actual news attention. EVen in the UK it was on morning new programs, etc as 'this game is revolutioning it'Even the fucking hyper sports retards had an account at least to 'try it' after the trial was a thing
So did we kill Turalyon yet for being an evil Light bigot that beats his son for daring to have a troll boyfriend?
Where do black people come from in warcraft anyway? Kalimdor?
>>729448365This pic represents Saint Maurice, a man who lived in Egypt in the 3rd century.The depiction is from the 16th century and anachronously depict him with contemporary and local outfit.

>>729448964Just like in real life, they're the product of human X orc breeding
>>729445542Thanks for bringing it up, anon. I had the same experience when I tried retail out a few months ago. I kind of expected it, so I tried to stomach it, but then the characters started talking and they sounded like disney characters. I couldn't keep going. Also found out they turned half of stormwind's NPCs into dark nigger apes like your pic.

>>729446040>Black woman has black people hairHow utterly baffling
>>729449178Still an official definition.
>>729449324It ain't called the dark ages for nothin whiteboi
>>729445542@grok how many white male npcs were replaced from wow vanilla to retail, be specific and play as a character from two races, one is a scarlet priest whitemane complaining about the replacement and the other is a black mechagnome diaperbaby saying replacement is necessary to stop the Oldest Ones
>>729449284Thats an arab as are all the known high ranking names of Zakarum leaders
>>729449801nah.
>>729449716okay i didn't think it'd be a gem
>>729449801>sankekur, a traditional arab name
>>729449881Sanctuary vaguely copies our own world, in the East there are arab looking people and in the far east you find asian looking people and north of these people you find whtle people with russian accentsAkarat the Jesus of Diablo universe came from the east, hence he looks asian, his followers were all arab men who started the Zakarum faith and becase the Paladin order that then later shattered into different sects around the world
>>729449920>giggles and farts oilThis is probably lore accurate
>>729450093>nu-loreyikes
>>729450093cool but you're ignoring the part where ACT III takes place deep in the not-African jungles and that is where Paladin is from.
>make a trial character because I'm bored>select the new starting experience to see what's different>forced tutorial that's completely unnecessary>not allowed to configure the UI for no reason until you complete the zone>main character is some ugly she nog whining about her son>all dialogue has cheap voice acting associated with it>newcomer chat is just full of old players complaining to new players that RDF is too toxic for them now>just do the stupid and heavily scripted quests and get on with it>zone culminates in a forced dungeon like XIV>can't even get a full group for the forced dungeon because the game is dead so it just spits me in there with a 2/5 group>dungeon ends in fighting a dragon and it isn't satisfying or climatic in any way because it doesn't feel earned>uninstall when I get sent to stormwind and it starts trying to give me an unnecessary stormwind tutorialThe new tutorial is honestly a pretty good indicator of what the rest of the game is like honestly, I'd recommend it over playing the old starter zones.
>>729450328you must be american to be so retarded to think about africa then you see obvious fantasy version or aztec and mayan temples
>>729445542That's the new starting zone for everyone, right? Where they sent the people off to die? Makes sense to me.
>africa
>>729445542MY SON
>>729445542>Afro HairYou meant to say Dreadlocks.I would like to know where these Africans came from in Warcraft lore, since Humans were made by the Titans and were originally made of Metal before Yogg Sarron inflicted them with the Curse of Flesh. They do not really have a country/ethnicity of origin. So where did the Black people come from?
>>729450501aztecs and mayans aren't famous for their pygmy tribes my man
>>729445542Guild Wars 1 is probably the only live service/sequel type game to ever introduce the black and arabic phenotypes into the wider universe without it feeling DEI pandering.
I hate Farin so god damn much. I don't think they could have made an uglier character even if they tried.
>>729449920dont misuse technology.
>>729450828And Kurast is very clearly Aztec and Maya inspired, so I dunno what the actual fuck you're on about with your pygmy shit.
>>729450625Yes
>>729451162>I dunno what the actual fuck you're on about with your pygmy shitthis nigga never even played d2
>>729451162really? you don't remember the main humanoid enemies throughout act 3?did you even play the game?
Is the game good though?

come home, white man
>>729446040Dreads aren't an afro
>>729447513Looks like they gave you the definition of institutional racism instead.
>>729445542Man that sounds like a really traumatic experience. I'm sorry you were triggered like that. I'll start a petition to get you a safe space in WoW where you're safe from the digital melanin that hurt you.
>>729451543No, it has blacks
>>729448365>>729448998They had yellow hair dye in the 16th century?
we talk about inclusion a lot but how about including people who don't want to see negros
>>729446040Those are braids you buncha dumbasses
>>729452253Yes.A game can be dogshit and still have a good setting.The thing is, you can have as many fucking niggers in your game as you want, so long as you have established ethnic groups from different areas, so the niggers come from some specific area of the game world.What is intolerable is this color splash diversity with no explanation behind it that makes everything feel like a fucking community theater production.
>>729450828And africa is famous for its aztec temples?
>>729445542I am tired of the ceaseless attempts at trying to appease minorities who just hate us anyway.
>>729452974But why have niggers at all?
>>729453050Why care if the game isn't good to begin with? You won't be playing anyways.That's the point of the discussion.
>>729452681That's an areolaIt mean he's God's nigger
>>729447741>>729447767this is cope, he's canonically black
>>729453050I don’t mind niggers, in fiction at least
>>729449920>giggles and farts oil>Sieriena opens the diaper
>>729453220>That's an areolaThis is a blue board pervert!
>that update who blackwashed lots of existing human NPCs
>>729452974The Room is a bad movie, but you should understand that it would be on another level of bad if you could actually see the boom mic and stage hands in frame. Do you understand this?
>>729452864yeah.
>>729453041This. We're always nice and accommodating to white people and they talk shit about us behind our backs despite that. I've had enough.
>>729449284>chris metzenwhy am i not surprised this faggot pushed black people before woke shit was even a thingi fucking hate this self-insert faggot
>>729445542>is that a...>B-B-B-B-BLACK WOMAN???????>EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEYIKES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!>I BETTER MAKE A THREAD ABOUT THIS, ON THE DOUBLE!!
>>729453638Yes. That's beyond they point though.A turd with puke mixed in is worse than a plain turd. Do you just keep chomping on the turd until you find out which one it is or do you stop after the first bite when you realize it's a turd and not actually chocolate?
>>729454795i hate to break it to you but black people did indeed exist in the 2000s.
>>729445542>Install Bronzebeard WoW>Enjoy true classic+ with thousands players for freeBlizzard no longer relevant.
>>729454887In a pre-modern medieval fantasy setting, distinctive ethnic groups would be gathered around specific regions (as they mostly still are, even today.) Diversity in fantasy should look more like the Elder Scrolls, where you have an area that is mostly dominated by the native ethnic group with various travelers from distant lands wandering around as well. This color splash Burger King Kids Club diversity feels fake and corporate as fuck.
>>729455721Not a fan of Pservers because they're all the same - >90% of players are Europoors>admins will cheat or offer obscene p2w>there will be moderator drama>probably ban on any political discussion, or will ban you for supporting X politician>ZERO PVP because players don't like 'getting griefed'>will get shut down by Blizzard if it gets big enough (being in the EU or Russia is not enough to escape the long reach of Blizzard anymore, as seen by Turtle)Its all the same shit. I used to play PServers but I just don't see the point anymore. Just play retail, classic era, or wait for real classic+.
>>729456060After SoD why would anyone wait for a classic+?
>>729445542Afros look like this
>>729445542uh oh melty
I always made a human male with the darkest skin tone and the silver/Grey hair. Because I thought i was making a black older guy like myself by doing so. Never had anybody have a problem with that in game.
>>729457043Give back the stolen phone
>>729457151You are not high enough level to access this raid
>>729457043It's not how you design your own character, its how the devs have designed (and changed) the NPCs.
>>729457043it kinda sucks that there's only one voice option for humans, they should probably add an eastern themed voice and probably a black themed voice as well.
>>729445542It's a western company.
>>729456060PVP is inherently a brown hobby
>>729445942Batman is racist?
Did they finally remove the Catacylsm tutorial in retail?
>>729447803Sad but true. Hope 2026 will be a good year for Ai playerbots
>>729447364>>729447502>>729449412>>729452512>>729452720Not that anon but the BIPOC community does actually refer to black customs, including hairstyles, as afro, denoting afro-american heritage from africa.I get why you guys might be confused, since afro's are also a designated specific hairstyle, but any black or afro-american hairstyle can be referred to as "afro(afro-american) hair"
>>729445542Would
>OP doesn't want an afro fren thats starting the game just like him in a game where half the point its to play with peopleYou are a faggot, lonely loser, and you suck at making friends.
>>729455730You mudshitters always talk big but WoW humans are literally cursed babies of giant vikings who already had devolved from beings of stone via a curse of flesh
>>729457301Npcs are just window dressing to the game however. Each npc could be replaced by an ogre for all i care for they only serve functions of either the story or utility. But seeing ogres in every captial and every instance would become very boring after the initial amusement. The npc that OP posted likely only says hi to the player and thats it. You can go off to like northrend and start killing frost giants in seconds.
Seeing a black person really ruins my entire day.
>>729457848And how exactly does this invalidate the possibility of different ethnic groups existing?>>729457879Treating your world as "window dressing" is how you have a garbage world and setting. Pretty bad in any kind of fantasy game where you're meant to give a shit about the lore and game world to any degree.
>>729457789yeah but at least op isn't a nigger
>>729447364>>729447502>>729452512>>729452720
>>729457789>OP doesn't want an afro frenWhy do you type like this?
Humans in wow end up usually having the best leveling journey between the 3 starting areas in wow. It makes me want to load up this cursed game again.
>>729458105We know more of hairstyles than your reference material.
>>729445542>playing WoW in current yearthe game has long become pozzed beyond recognition anon. it's literally one of the most kiked up games on the market now.pretty sure 90% of the devs in blizzard are either trannies or liberal women nowadays
>>729457520Streamers show this perfectly.
>>729458047>give a shit about the lore and game world People play wow for different reasons. I myself only played wow to do quests and make gold and eventually get level cap before starting an alt and doing it all again. After I would get an epic mount on my fully leveled character usually id spend a lot of time in dungeons and helping out lower level players at a whim. The game and world are secondary to the point of a mmo. Which is a massively MULTIPLAYER online game. You are there for the other players at least a little bit. Npcs are only around so you can have trash to vendor.
>>729458257best 3 are - >human>undead>dwarfin no particular order
>>729458275every hairstyle that originates from african origins is an afro-hairstyle, so you can use "afro hair" fairly and black hairstylists do this it's not worth arguing with the OP when he's right
>>729445542>retail wowmeh, it was a shitass mmo then it is an even more shitass mmo now. It's not worth the monthly sub and 70 u$d total expansion pack. At best it's a 20 green game with no monthly sub.>>729445615Giganiggatranny doesn't get it
If wow was a single player game with only humans as the playable race I could see why OP may have an issue with a black woman greeting him. At the same time because I played this game almost...15 years ago. Id be more surprised that the npc at the starting area for humans doesnt have shitty looking armor and sword.
>>729458553Braids didn't even originate from Africa you fucking moron
>>729458494>The game and world are secondary to the point of a mmo.That's literally the whole point of the MMO.>Which is a massively MULTIPLAYER online game.... in a big shared persistent world. Which is what sets the MMO apart from literally every other type of multiplayer game. That is what makes the MMO an MMO.
Member when WoW was effectively a no niggerzone? I member.
>>729458920Look i grew up playing wow damn it. Npcs are not important. They are there to give quests/drop loot/repair/vendor
>>729445542DAS RITE
>>729458795>Braids didn't even originate from Africa you fucking moron1. you can't know that desu2. the OP is talking about afro hair, which means afro hair culture
>>729459082>the ai actually removed her thigh armor to match what black women actually wearlmaoooo
>>729459082>tabard only all the sudden Why does this make pp up
>daily world of wokecraft astroturfing generalStill not buying Midnight.
>>729459082I like how it recognized the need to have her show more skin
>>729459236>this is an astroturfing threadblizzard really needs to pay for better marketers then
>>729445542>>729446040You are a sámi who has only seen black pipo on TV aren't you
>>729459236Id like to gut her then use her still warm body to get off
>>729459141No one gives a fuck about your faggot new age college speak.Afro is a specific hairstyle.
>>729459393>that shoulder to hip ratio>>>>>>>>>>>>her
>>729459471This
>>729459236I feel like the best and only way to play this game now is on an RP server and just entirely ignore the gay lore and only make up lore with your guild and people you know.
