wtf happened to WoW?
holy FRICK she looks badass, (or he! I don't want to assume genders here!)
>>729483391but you already have assumed genders by calling it she initially. you have failed and should kill yourself.
Is 99% of twitter just jeet bots saying the same fucking things ad-verbatim? Isnt this what dystopian 1950s novels predicted would happen?
Jews.
Nerdy dudes with actual passion for the medium being replaced by activists and shaniquas who value surface level pandering over everything else.
I hate western games so much.
>>729483314Yes, Black people exist. Get over it, white boy.
How many times are we going to have this fucking thread?
>>729483720holy kino...
>>729483720based old white guy stopping the cringe early
I wasn't born a chud, you know. I wasn't always suspicious of all things (and rightfully so). One of my first friends in elementary school was an outgoing black girl. I could see a time in my life when a black paladin lady with a missing eye WOULD have been cool. Just a shame about the artwork. Just a shame about the animation. Just a shame about the preachiness.Just a shame about the insincerity of it all.Just a shame about the names you called me. Shame, shame, shame. Before diversity hires, you would NEVER question whether your black colleague had what it takes. Thanks white liberal women!
>>729483720is this real?holy fuck it's bad
Can someone post the link to the cinematic where she comes out of the shadows and looks all ugly?

Makes me wonder what the actual plan for Faerin was before TWW got retooled, since she's obviously a middle-aged veteran in the cinematic yet when we meet her she's a literal teenage Disney princess.

>>729483314It makes me sad that there will never be a WoW 2 because of the mentally ill cultists who refuse to drop a 21 year old game that was already stale a decade ago
>>729484709I know a person who refuses to drop their sub even though they only log in to buy store mounts.

>>729484698Did they just have a better cinematographer employed then? I mean the animations are alright, but the camera work really brings it to the next level.
>>729483636How are you so bad at detecting sarcasm? Turdworld ESL?
>>729485326They have a woke calculator
>>729483720i always thought there was a very noticable "futa face", as in you can tell porn being futa just by how the "girl's" face looks.... and im starting to realize i think most of the people into futa are also into WoW. i mean draenei disproportionately have futa porn compared to standard vanilla stuff.every girl looking character in this webm looks straight out of a futa porn. especially the silver haired one that is scowling the whole time.tl;dr wow players are gay
>>729485351>Did they just have a better cinematographer employed then?Yes. They made great cutscenes even with the old shitty models. Now everything is made by jeets with no talent or vision.
>>729483720>Old hag with glasses fighting a black elf abominationJesus Christ is this supposed to be for women
Same shit that happened to most western media, women and performative male simp faggots infested everything and made what they want instead of what the audience wants and this is the result. Anyone who spoke up about it was shamed for years and still are, fucking emperor's new clothes shit where you can't point out something right in front of you. And eventually it started fucking with gameplay too because women and other DEI hires can't make anything good
>>729483314>someday I will own this board

>>729483314Imagine how broken inside a man has to be to witness a generic IMVU-looking black elf lady thing who got her head stuck in a blender being added to WoW, and not even crack a smile
>>729483314Their biggest Player became Larry Finkelberg
>>729483720Why is Danath even remotely allied with the horde? He's Mr. Troll Holocaust
>>729486991He became a better man
>>729486991It's supposed to show how people change, like John niggerkiller with a swastika tatted on his face telling you that fbi crime statistics are bad, actually.
>>729486991he's learned to be a better man and mentions something about letting go of old hatreds to it should be at the end of the cutscene to >>729483720 or maybe it was in another one down the questline.. I forget.
>>729483720How the fuck is she holding that shield
>>729483314I seriously doubt even 1 person really meant it
>>729487059>>729487215>>729487237Trolls kidnapped his people and would sacrifice them/flay them/scalp/behead them. I mean they literally have Witherbark Headhunter Trolls. And that didn't even happen that long ago. WTF is up with these writers?
>>729483720This shit is why only play classic SPP with bots
>>729486991These characters are being written by people who weren't even around during their invention and have only a superficial understanding of the setting, using it as a vehicle for their own societal, political or identity related rhetoric.
>>729483720THIS IS SO FRIGGIN AWESOME!!! the fact that she had the strength not to plunge her lance into that witch......... literal goosebumps
>>729487453I remember reading a blog 10 or so years ago, written by a swede, who wrote about how the immigrant who raped and murdered his daughter deserves forgiveness. Or imagine all those cases of progressive being killed by migrants or blacks and their parents/friends coming out and going "he would want to help his murderer". I imagine it's something like that, just absolutely suicidal self-loathing.Not that this is anything new in WoW. The horde has been bitching and moaning about how horrible they used to be ever since Garrosh. It was particularly funny during Sylvanas; she's burning down that big tree and orcs are standing around going "are we the baddies?"
>>729484523
>>729487453native americans did that but everyone(yes, everyone) says you should feel bad for them
You guys have to understand that blizzard, marxist racketeering scheme that it is, employed countless drones even before the Activision merger.All it takes is 80% of those californian golems to log in their secondary accounts and now you magically have seemingly trending traffic. Then 20% gets split by activists and trannime pfp's who don't actually play games.The entire racket is bankrolled by emasculated genXers with at least two kids and a 10hr/6day job.
>>729485413This hasn't been really applied ever
>>729488034kek
It got taken over by women and weak men. Not a trace of the blood and thunder metal ethos remains. Metzen used to write while listening to metal music. I guarantee the current writing team considers metal a white supremacist genre and are all swifties.
>>729485351>Did they just have a better cinematographer employed then?Back when White and Asian men were making games, not women, "women," and jeets.
>>729487402>He thinks they're all being ironiclol
>>729483314out of every race humanity could've chosen to worship, it just had to be the most obnoxious and retarded one
>>729483720Bro this animation feels like it was actually made by someone who learned blender for a month.
>>729489242talented blizzard employees saar, finest quality
>>729483314>PLEASE, YES MOMMY, PLEASE PUNCH MEAh yes, neutered hyper submissive "safe" sexuality for sois.
They're based in California, ground zero for cultural rot.
>No king rules forever, my son
>>729483720Reminder that the black one armed lady was offered a prosthetic, since that technology does exist in this setting, but she turns it down because having no arm is what defines her or some bullshit.
>>729490083>Defined by her disabilityYea that checks out.
>>729484208Lol
>>729483720This made me root for the sexy angry hag and I don't think that's their objective.
>>729483720Theres more weight and emotion in the Wrathgate cinematic and that came out 16 years before this, during a time when Blizzard had weaker technology and less resources at their disposal. What in the actual fuck is happening with the talent behind gaming now?
You know what happened is. They already used illidan and garrosh. Two of the only interesting characters left.
>>729490326Illidan is still alive, hes just Sargeras' warden and butt buddy. Garrosh according to people here erased himself from existence in Shadowlands but most people I'm sure, would prefer to forget that DLC even existed. You know its funny, I think people wish that TWW just followed after Legion because this is really the only time the "main" story feels like its getting some sort of conclusion or mention. Everyone just ignored the giant fucking sword in their own planet for a near decade now.
>>729483720>>729484163what the fuck>>729484698The modern stuff looks SIGNIFICANTLY worse than this ancient cutscene. HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW the hell are they this incompetent
>>729490326the modern day writers HATE Garrosh.They made a quest just to spit on his memory, quite literally, one more time despite it going against previously established lore about traveling to AU Draenor being impossible now.
>>729483638every since elon made it so you can profit off of buying a checkmark and engagement baiting, yes
>>729484163At least the drust look cool as fuckMeanwhile the glass ponytail woman looks like she works at human resources at the local office
>>729483720>>729484163this is the same battle choreography quality as everything from warcraft 2 to current, the only difference is whether it's prerendered or notblizzard cinematics were always vapid and soulless
>>729483314The Bill Cosby suite happened, then a lot of over correction in an atempt to make people forget about it, don't forget the Bill Cosby suite.
she's ugly as sin
>>729483720sex with the trollbane hag
>>729490274They fired everyone with talent.
>>729485940I see itEXCELLENT
>>729490483>>729490507Im just asking does any fucking modern character have the aura and pull of these niggas? No. When's the last character that showed up to be a badass mother fucking killer showed up in this damn game I dont get it.
>>729484163post dragonflight ending
Blizzard was run on breast milk and the well dried up.
>>729487381It is attached to her shoulder. And Karen was defeated by a shield bash from that.
>>729490507Good
>>729483314I only know two people that still play retail WoW. Both are women in their 50s. One has never been married and the other is single who lives with her gay son in Portland, OR. The gay son and his husband are drag queens that go to drag shows every weekend. These are the people that buy mounts that earn more than a legendary RTS.
>>729490676The cosby suite was just an inside joke and a bunch of guys having fun…I don’t see the big deal
>>729490676Bill Cosby did nothing wrong!
Call me a coombrain or whatever but wow also needs some fucking sex appeal in it again. The current most popular character for porn is still sally whitemane, jaina, or yrel if they arent some oc warlock bitch. Make new hot women blizzard you fuckheads.
>>729487961>native americans>nativeexactly. doing this to your invaders isn't just moral, but your obligation
>>729483314Why are faggots and the left so obsessed with blacks?
>>729490274Seniors left, talented people left, good leads too, salary is on the lower end compared to the rest of the industry. Dev team is full of fresh graduates who do anything to work at legendary Blizzard or random people who don't care about games and just doing the job. Plus they know that wow can be made super sloppy and cheap, yet still retain players and generate obnoxious money. So they've moved everyone with skills to Diablo 4 team.
>>729484709Most people who "play" this game making a living out of it. Its a lot more common than you think, that a lot of zooms and millenials who don't posses any skill what can be turned into money farm in video games. The wokeshit contributed, but its just the fungus growing out of the already dead corpse. You see the trannies and etc because its a lot more under the nose, as in reality its mostly chinese and russian bots taking up 50%+ of the playerbase.The internal rot started at the end of vanilla, by everquest sweats, trying to turn a glorified virtual chatroom into an endgame rush lootgoobering.
>>729483720>machinima from 20 years ago i miles better than modern dev slophow did it become like this
SEX WITH TROLL WOMEN!
>>729490967The problem is alot of the characters cover up now. No clevage, bikinis or anything.
>>729491154stfu incel
>>729490676It is funny how just a dorky inside joke becomes some "insidious" fact about a group of EVIL white boys years later.
>>729483314They course corrected hard from beginning of TWW to soon to be release Midnight.She was very important in first part of expansion and by end she just became a weekly quest giver.
Will she make a good queen?
>>729491204No you shut the fuck up bitch. This games rated T for teen. You know some tits and ass can go a far way for getting the attention of that demographic. Something vanilla, tbc, wrath, and cata a little bit understood.
>>729491339Is it true that the jailer made him say the N word?
>>729483314Why do they speak like shills?
Fact of the matter is. Sylvanis when she dressed like this had PEAK player counts. And as they covered her up more and more the story and game itself lost interest in MILLIONS.
>>729485382That WAS sarcasm and I'm not that anon, you turbo sperg stupid piece of shit.
>>729483720I seen shitty mobile games that look better than this shit.
>>729491342>>729491556Take your meds, Steve Danuser.
>>729483720Literally, babys first blender animation project.
>>729489242that moment when the hag started yelling reminded me of shitty gmod animations
>>729483720Wait a minute, 9 to 12 seconds in, the black chick and hag randomly rotate but the rest of the scene just stays the same.Did the slaves they send this to not understand that the CAMERA was probably supposed to rotate around them fighting. rofl.
>>729483314I know wow will never be saved, retail will never be good again, I have accepted this. But i still sometimes watch old gameplay vids and listen to the old zone musics and just try to remember the good times. Im grateful i got to experience wow at its peak. It was the best game experience i ever had and im ok with that. It will never be topped, and that’s just fine. It wasn’t perfect but it was great for what it was. Beyond great. It filled me up for many years. The men who crafted that game were geniuses. Man, man…what a game. What a gift to have gotten to experience it
>>729491870Holy shit HAHAHAHA

>>729483638>jeet botsThat's the thing, they're not botsYou're half right about the dystopia thing. It's like in Warhammer 40k how the Imperium has this whole slave caste of lobotomized cyborgs to run all of their most menial tasks. Today they're just using pajeets.
Wow troons are sad and pathetic Xiv troons are literal pedos You both lost
>>729491870I think they were supposed to be slowly walking around each other but like it is so badly animated it could've actually been a fuck up.
>>729483638>Is 99% of twitter just jeet botsWithout exaggeration, yes.There is literally no reason to be on Xitter if you're a human being who wants to hear from other humans. It's a bot-infested shithole.
>>729483720yeah, I'm thinking XIV won
>>729483314Orcs have always been in wow
>>729483720TBF, that cutscene is done entirely in-game (not even pre-rendered, it's literally just puppetry) and uses 95% pre-existing animations. The sword clash is just freezing the human female parry anim with a human female sword strike, for example. Wrathgate used in-game assets, but it also used a combination of pre-existing animations (the salutes, that one orc with his face melting using the /cry emote) with custom animations for pivotal moments. It also was pre-rendered, so they could use actual camera angles, perspective and the like.Now this doesn't excuse Blizzard for teeing up an entire new antagonist faction with the same cutscene quality they'd use for Princess the pig dying in a leveling quest, but there it is.
>>729483314Non-stop humiliation ritual for the paypigs.
>>729483314ugly women and """""""women""""""" in the studio
Warcraft was brutal and based on war, humans versus orcs, death, blood, destruction.WoW is based on whimsical little puff puff races, cute technology, marvel tier jokes and quips
>>729483314>this is on fireIt should be
>>729483314Which one did more damage to their respective game?
>>729487841> self-loathingI think some people (particularly left-leaning whites) are so uncomfortable with the idea of Westerners being "number 1" that they feel the need to loudly perform self-loathing (especially around non whites) as a sort of preemptive defensive measure against people who they think have a good reason to genuinely hate them, as if that's going to make them think "oh you're one of the good whites" lmao>>729491870can't unsee
>>729484646Noone actually watches the clips or cares about the story anymore, that's why it looks that bad. They even include "skip" options for dialogue now, that's how phoned in it isThe core players play for their friends and for the raids
>>729491795These same people who say representation matters were shitting themselves when they found out Bioware was being bought out by Saudis, staunch Muslims who would endorse the decapitation and torture of every demographic they support or stand for.
>>729493441XIV's in all-hands-on-deck levels of damage control at the moment, so it's safe to say that Kate/Sena/Hiroi fucked the game way harder than anything WoW could doGranted, as insufferable as FFags were in the PS1/2 days, the brainrot with them isn't nearly as deep as Blizzdrones
>>729483314cyclops niggas are cool. facial scars are cool. prosthetics weapons that make you stronger than you were when you had all your limbs are cool. female knights are cool. I genuinely don't get how they managed to make this character so gay and lame.
>>729483958They took more from us than we may yet realize.
>>729493815Take everything people loved about Demoman and do the opposite
>>729491000>It is ok to massacre jeets and all other assorted brownsCool thanks for the heads up bro
>>729484698>that orc getting his face melted off through his helmetEveryone talks about the WoW killer, but it's been dead for years already.
>>729486991Most of those types of characters have been pussified or killed off. Like with Jaina and "akshually dad was bad" bullshit. At least with Garrosh he essentially told this meta narrative to go fuck itself, said he would do it all again, and nuked himself out of pure spite
>>729492225I remember watching that, the second that thing came on screen the chat was switched to emotes only, and it was switched back to normal as soon as it left
>>729490507Its funny because Thrall fucking cheated and in Legion the elements call him a faggot cheater and ditch him for that.
>>729483720>>729484163
Really Blizzard?
>>729491339
>>729494726When I've read about people paying guys to stick their arms up their asses or pee on them I can't fathom how someone could willingly subject themselves to that shit and pay to do it, it's just not possible.And then I remember WoW exists.

>>729483314>what happened to the game that was pastel colored and faggoty at the start?>why did it stay faggoty?>why do guys keep putting their cocks through the hole for me to suck after I tap my foot?
>>729491870It's worse. They are supposed to be rotating like they are circling each other with their weapons locked. They just didn't bother to even try to animate foot steps or body movement.
