Why is there so little fuss this being an entirely different continuity? Isn't an entire parallel timeline a big deal in a universe as big and as thought out, as warcraft? I mean cataclysm might not happen here, a lot of things might just never be an issue, known heroes like Arthas or Illidan won't have their stories finished. Isn't this a BIG DEAL? Doesnt this have a lot of implications?
>>747599989Why would anyone give a shit about wow lore after shadowlands?
>>747599989Because no one cared about the lore in vanilla, not even the people writing it
>>747600198Could you explain further please? I'm not a wow person. I know Shadowlands is like an afterlife, where everyone goes after death. Is the issue that deaths no longer matter because just go to Shadowlands and all stakes are gone forever?
There is plenty of fuss on this board and other community hubs where classic/vanilla fans exclusively reside. The only people that don't care are either baiting, deeply retarded or are the marketing department (You).To anyone who is a fan of Warcraft or even World of Warcraft and not World of Warcraft bfa and above it is absolutely egregious.
>>747600552Where can I read some rants about this?
wow lore is cool actuallyas an outsider it seems massive and lots of characters are memorable
>>747599989Non WoW player here,So is this replacing classic? Kinda bullshit if it is isn't it?
>>747599989if they aren't retarded they won't follow any of the lore from existing expansions.
>>747600552what is egregious?
>>747599989Because WoW's modern lore is fucking shit and nobody actually likes the world now, not even the people it's made for (that being primarily progressive faggots). A lot of people even felt those big characters you mentioned had unsatisfying climaxes to their stories, and so it could be re-done or even just not covered.Of course the WoW world getting a reboot back to when people actually felt they could be a part of it is welcome newsThe problem is, the new writers and artists are immediately going to turn it into a world that nobody wants to be a part of again. In fact they've already started
>>747599989>parallel timeline>but it's steered by modern woke dei blizzard as your pic related shows>plus microsoft bean countersoh i can see the implications alright
>>747599989who fucking cares, if they want to do something with BC/Wrath eventually then maybe then can figure it out
>>7475999891. No actual fan of Warcraft thinks anything in WoW is canon to begin with2. Nobody gives a fuck about the lore in this game after blue elves were literally shown in the intro
>>747602451>made up scenarios>fake ai screencapsdoomtroonie...
>>747600350Legion was the last time wow was written decently. Not great but decently.But in legion they killed off the last big threat the original writers IE. the guys who made Warcraft III the original game that inspired what the world of Warcraft would become. Legion dealt with the last threat they established.So Shadowlands is the nu-blizzards attempt to established a villain. Who's Major plot twist is he's behind everything that has ever happened ever. That's the type of writing quality you can expect, some guy can come out of the woodwork and just say it was me.He also looks like a fucking dweeb but that's besides the point.So you ask why I don't care it's becasue they'll just fuck it up all over again, whatever magic happened in the 1990's it's gone now.And if you take two seconds to think about it, it makes sense the people who original wrote this lore? who worked blizzard 90% of them are gone. It's the same company.So you asking me about wowforerver is like saying>Anon! did you hear? Some guy is writing fanfiction about the hobbit!>He's going to make it so bilbo is gay and has hot steamy sex with smaugIt's one thing if tolkien decided to do it but why would I care about some guy butchering his work?
>>747600552Lel. The hamplanets and Faggot tranies are trying to engage with you. Just sage this obvious marketing thread full of Darkspearers and Vulperannies
>>747599989"Not changing main storyline, but rather paint within the lines" - from mmo-champion. so this is some pointless prelude to retail that they're going to try to stretch infinitely.
>>747599989>as thought outWarcraft was never thought out all that much. A lot of it is blatent nonsense that functioned on rule of cool and doesn’t make sense if you think about it long enough. Not sure why people beleive this.
>Optional version>Included in base 15$ sub>Optional Elf race included>Poorfags kvetch because blizzard isn't giving them classic+ new races 4 free
WoW Forever is going to be the place where long time veterans of retail go to die. I just hate how they dicked around with retail, removed addons and forced users to use their own, pruned skilled all to make retail more approachable just to create WoW Forever.
>>747604518>make retail more approachableAlways has been.Retards seem to have this misconception about Classic being "easier" than retail, and it's honestly a little insulting because it's so easy to fact check this enormously incorrect statement.Classic is undoubtedly a slower game, where auto-attacks are an important consideration and your APM is neglible, compared to Retail's action "economy" (you always want to be using some ability every GCD), but if you either don't remember- or more likely, don't know- you can get fucked sideways in Classic questing alone. Mines and caves were particularly brutal because mobs had a very large aggro radius and would gank you to death very quickly, necessitating grouping up for things like the kobold and murloc quests in Elwynn Forest, or even the quest with the spiders in Shadowglen in Teldrassil.In Retail, doing these same early game quests (if you were ever inclined to do them in the first place since the game very blatantly shuffles you into Gaycentaurflight) is comically easy. Because of how Retail balances mob difficulty, these "standard" enemies are very trivial to defeat, even if you're outnumbered, especially once you begin to unlock your AOE abilities.The only time you are actually tested is dungeons, but even those are very forgiving because you can, in most cases, be carried by more experienced players, unless you are tanking. Things like crowd control, interrupts, and the like are helpful, but you can do without these in normal difficulty. It's only when you hit heroic, or more likely M+, where these are actual concerns.In Classic, you need to be very aware of crowd control, not over-pulling in dungeons, and managing your aggro. You're actually inclined to have your druid Cyclone an enemy to help the tank. As a hunter, you want to be very aware of not pulling too much aggro with your high-damaging abilities.
>>747605747Thank you for writing this
>>747599989who fucking cares. If you still play blizzard games you're a fucking retard goycattle.
>>747599989They could've done an alternate timeline thing, but then they put in the sky elves.lol
>>747605747These are good points, yes. Classic is a properly challenging game that feels like it has real fair difficulty at every stage of the game. The vast majority of retail is total retardation until you edge into the mid-endgame with M+ where the dial abruptly shifts from 1 to 100. Suddenly the retarded easy game is dreadfully unfair. It's so draining it completely kills the fun, at least when you're trying to do things as a solo player with randoms (no friend group).
