How do you respond without sounding mad?
>>729600561>Can you do that on your own?
>>729600561I definitely wouldn't be a bitch about it and threaten to tell daddy.
>>729600561>Yes, my lord.
but its raining
>>729600561I calmly explain that if we purge the city, all those souls will go into the Maw and further the Jailer's plan. We need to capture the undead and not kill them if we want to defeat Zo'vaal.

>>729600561You watch your tone with me boy. You may be the prince, but I'm still your superior as a paladin.>Damn it, Uther! As your future king, I order you to purge this city!Tone, boy.>Then I must consider this an act of treason.TONE!!
>>729600561>You're a paladin, Arthas. You took an oath to not follow the easy path. Whatever has led you to this assessment, I know has challenged your faith in the Light and our duty to this land and our kin. I know you don't see another way yet, but as your mentor as a paladin I know there is always another way. From the First War to this one, we can stand against the darkness. Speak with me, Arthas, what did you learn?
>>729601229kinda funny how this would have prevented arthas' fall. or at least delayed it
Uther was a coward, a traitor and an overall useless old sack of shit>Supposed to be in charge of the organization that protects the kingdom from demons and dark magic>Somehow COMPLETELY misses demons and necromancers infiltrating every last inch of the kingdom>When the literal zombie apocalypse starts, fucks around doing almost nothing of use while his novice paladin apprentice, a prince, leads the effort to save the kingdom from the front lines>In the short time that Arthas had figured out what's going on, slain the chief necro and managed to determine the locus of the enemy's plan, Uther is somehow literally still completely clueless about what they are even fighting>When finally brought up to speed, literally chooses to commits treason against his station, his people and his friend because he's rather unleash an unstoppable zombie horde on the entire continent than get his own self-righteous shiny paladin ass dirty >Doesn't even attempt to offer alternative solutons, just goes "Daaaamn bro that's craaaazy, let's do nothing about it"At least Jaina had the excuse of being a subject of Dalaran rather than Lordearon, so technically not obligated to follow Arthas' desperate orders.Uther deserved his head on a pike on the walls of Stratholme
>>729600945>You don't understand, Uther. The lives of these civilians will barely grant Zovaal the Jailer any anima because they have committed very few great good or evil deeds. As long as we capture Malganis, we will not tip the balance in the Shadowlands.
>>729600945>>729601490I absolutely fucking H A T E new WoW like holy shit.
>>729601229200 innocents have already turned into ghouls by the time it took Uther to finish saying this
>>729601756>didn't play the missionThere was time to think and decide with the Culling. That's kind of the point. Arthas rashly chooses the only good path he can see with his young, inexperienced mind and Uther and Jaina abandon him instead of owning up to their obligations as his companions. It wouldn't be a tragedy if nothing could've been done about it.
>>729600561haha
The cosmology of the Shadowlands is kind of wild isn't it? Assume it's not "thrown out of balance", the default state is this>You go to the Arbiter, the sorting hat who decides where you go>Option A: Servitude. Did you serve loyally in life, like a paladin or priest? You get to go here to continue serving. One day you may be a great servant who serves servicefully. I guess most normies go here.>Option B: Hippies. Did you like nature a lot, like a Hunter, Shaman or Druid? You can go here to water plants and stuff, but part of your soul will be consumed to recharge the batteries on nature spirits.>Option C: Warmonger. Did you do a lot of fighting in life like a warrior, death knight, or something? You now get to be an undead slave forever, or be ripped up for fuel for undead slaves. Most soldiers go here.>Option D: "Pride or some other sin." Apparently "no one wants to go to Revendreth", where you get tortured and lifedrained until you cease to exist by vampires.Someone needs to create a beach cabana afterlife with margaritas.
>>729602007Always "they could have done something else" and never "here's what they could have done better."Twenty years and you fags never offer anything other than "hurr durr they should have quarantined the second largest human city in the world as a demon runs around teleporting zombies"
>>729601229>>729601294>Light be damned, Uther! I'm doing this, with, or without you.
>>729602465It's pretty easy to just go not axe-murderer. Quarantine works anyways since that's how they do it in universe. People studying the undead plague found no cures except that the Light was a natural repellant, which would've made having the paladins there vital, but Arthas doesn't have foreknowledge. Still, he made no effort to explain or seek council from Uther, just as Uther made no attempt to provide council. Because of this you can't 'have another way' and people who said there's no time just don't have a concept of how the event played out and that the Cult of the Damned actually wanted mass death.The other issue is that he went straight for the sword instead of isolating the grain distribution and determining if it had spread to other cities. Instead he played a minigame with Malganis. The core issue too is that Arthas doesn't even purge the city right. The aftermath cutscene has bodies everywhere, hardly none of them burning, no order, just chaos. He basically hand-delivered a graveyard for the Cult of the Damned and then didn't stay around to follow through on the hard choice with his father. Instead, he played fuck-fuck games with Malganis in the far north instead of realizing the big picture that Lorderan was being picked apart piece meal and the dreadlord wanted him to follow him. It was an obvious trap, but Arthas was too blind and didn't have any support to guide him the right way.Also Medivh is a faggot. What kind of man says he won't "fail humanity again" and then literally gives 1% of the effort he could have?
>>729603216>What kind of man says he won't "fail humanity again" and then literally gives 1% of the effort he could haveWell in fairness he was already dead by that point, and widely wanted for causing the First War, and the Second War, to some extent the Third War, and to some extent the Fourth War. So we don't really have any explanation for why he's alive but it's clear he's keeping a low profile for war crimes. According to the comics he has almost no powers left by WC3. It's probably safe to say he's already at 1% power by that time.Medivh basically isn't concerned that much with the undead, he's more concerned with stopping the main invasion of the Burning Legion.
>>729603216>Quarantine works anyways since that's how they do it in universeWhat part of "A DEMON LORD IS TELEPORTING ALL THE TURNED PEOPLE OUT OF THE CITY TO BUILD AN ARMY OF UNDEAD" is so fucking hard to understand?
>>729606618t b h I think the riots from people terrified of being torn to shreds by the walking corpses of their neighbors are more of a problem for a hypothetical quarantine than Mal'Ganis is.
