Why was Arthas like this
>>
Goddamn this game is fucking ugly

golly gee i wonder why

it looks magical when combined with the environment and viewed mostly top down

>>748235486
a boy king his age should have done more Jaina plapping less pretending to know better than Uther the GOAT

He was also an adult paladin in WC3, though

actually though if he just listened to Uther
Lordaeron would still be around and thriving
>>
>>748236253
>Lordaeron would still be around and thriving
no it wouldnt itd still be an undead kingdom
arthas was in a no win scenario
>>
>>748236253
Stratholme would have become a fortress for the undead forces where they could rapidly fortify and march into Lordaeron.
>>
>>748236538
Not all of it would be undead if evil Arthas and his lich daddy didn't accelerate the scourge so much

You realize this game was made over 20 years ago for toaster PCs. The game was designed to give visual clarity for 100 units fighting each other at the same time while spells and particles are flying all over the place.
You are rage baiting. Either anti blizzard as a whole (who doesn’t realize old blizzard =\= nu-blizzard) or you are anti-gamer history because you exist only to consume, complain, and destroy

If Uther killed all those infected counts like a good little paladin none of this would have happened.

I'm on the orc campaign now. It's funny that the orcs are like

>>748240492
The graphics, while dated, also serve their purpose. Go do some matches on the old and the reforged graphics, and the reforged ones, while they are higher fidelity, don't work well as RTS units, the armies just get muddied together while the original ones are still readable.
>>
>>748240614
exactly. its easy to forget that WC3 is a birds eye view game where you dont really look at shit up close outside of portraits and cutscenes.

they literally attack you
>>
>>748240865
You're literally invading their coastline, and majority of the army has already arrived and been attacking them.
>>
>>748240368
The centaurs in particular were terrorizing the tauren.
The kobolds, quillboars, and murlocs were hostile on sight.
The orcs didn't wipe out the trolls on the island either.
>>
>>748240368
Horde are faggot hypocrites
The humans let the orcs live when they could have slaughtered them all
Look how they repay them at Theramore
>>
>>748241034
People bitch about sylvanas being too evil but that's how the horde is supposed to be. The whole noble savage thing was always a huge misstep.
>>
>>748240970
Experience from Lordaeron and the Darkspear Island made them know Murlocs are hostile.
The quillboars you could make an argument for
Kobolds only started attacking when Ogrimmar was being expanded and instead of wiping them out, they just sealed their tunnels
>>
>>748241153
I don't mind Sylvanas being evil, but in later WoW expansions she went from self serving evil to just cartoonishly evil and retarded.

Why did Ner'zhul want Arthas? How long was he waiting to execute his master plan? What the fuck did he even want in the long run? Why did the Dreadlords even bother with him? Like they had no plan or capability to invade Azeroth without some retarded ass plague that only affected what was arguably the weakest species inhabiting the planet? The fuck?
I love when an otherwise generic tragedy becomes wrapped up in convoluted nonsense full of idiot plots and poor players just to disguiae how shallow and nonsensical the lot of it really is. Warcraft is such dogshit writing and worse still; it was and still is the most mechanically-deficient, baby-tier RTS on the market.
Battle.net was pretty fun tho.

instead stratholme became a fortress of the undead with rivendare as their leader, so nothing would be different

i always thought he wanted arthas not just because he was a strong paladin but also because of what he represented
heir to lordaeron, probable future successor of uther, extremely talented warrior, charismatic, loved by the people
if he corrupts and turns someone like arthas to the side of the scourge, its a gigantic morale blow to pretty much every single faction that knows anything about humanity which helps the burning legion's plan along
then he actually gets arthas, realized 'oh shit this guy is actually pretty fucking good' then starts trying to squirm out from under archimonde's thumb with arthas as his champion

Arthas' logic was completely sound. The people were already doomed. The Culling of Stratholme is one of the best examples of the trolley problem. You pull the lever and kill one person to save five people. You dont pull the lever and the one person lives, turns into a ghoul, and the five people you thought you saved die anyway, they just die because of you in a more indirect way.

I believe it, I didn't play PC games outside of a few physical I had in the late 90s and early 2000s(Pharoah, C&C, RTC/ZTC) and some popcap games.

Naeh Stratholme was too big of a meat factory to leave in the hands of the undead.

If Arthas doesn't go to northrend because he listens to Uther though, Terenas would live, but how much would that really help is the question when the undead forces are much larger.
Arthas & Uther would be fighting against increasingly larger undead forces.
Lordaeron would probably still be fucked, but everything would be delayed.
Worst case scenario Ner'Zhul wouldn't have his champion, the scourge border is at the thandol span, but once the undead reach Kalimdor they'd be much better prepared to deal with Archimonde.
I assume they'd find some other summoner than Kel'Thuzad as a lich, since that wasn't even the burning legion plan.
Best case scenario, Lordaeron barely survives and tirisfal is fine, but there's still a plaguelands.

So better off, but even better if Uther at first listened to Arthas and then kept him from chasing Mal Ganis.

Another lore point that has been retconned is that becoming undead corrupts your very soul, prolonging your suffering as an abomination without rest. He didn't kill the people just so they wouldn't turn, he was literally trying to save their souls from damnation.

I think Ner'Zhul wanted someone who was strong and someone he could manipulate. Arthas vengeful side was something that Ner'Zhul could bait with.
>that only affected what was arguably the weakest species inhabiting the planet? The fuck?
At the start of RoC, the strongest faction is probably Night Elves or what remains of the Alliance of Lordaeron*, followed by Quel'Thalas.
Even without the alliance, Lordaeron was probably still #2 behind the night elves.

*officially at that point only Lordaeron, Dalaran, Kul Tiras, Stormwind and Khaz Modan remained in the alliance.
Stromgarde, Gilneas and Quel'Thalas left because internment camps were too kind to orcs.

No, you can't. None of the two other images ITT are from gameplay. They are both from angled cutscenes where the camera is closer to the ground. The game aged fine, because its artstyle keeps the visuals interesting and lends itself to the lower poly models, and the game looks just good in motion besides. Visuals and animations are also absolutely perfect for telling what's going on in gameplay

If he listens to cuckther, the entire eastern kingdoms would look like the plague lands. The undead plage ravaged the entire (now known as the) plague lands in a matter of days. If arthas hadn't culled the spread of the plague there, in less than a month ironforge would fall, then stormwind
>>
The new campaign pretty much states outright that Arthas launching the purge was all according to the Cult's plans from the start. It was a no-win situation and Arthas walked right into it.
>>
>>748252896
What do you mean, no win? What if he culled the city (because then undead would just spread from it anyway, and that's assuming he actually had enough men and time to do it), and then NOT fucked off north to get corrupted.

>What if he culled the city (because then undead would just spread from it anyway, and that's assuming he actually had enough men and time to do it), and then NOT fucked off north to get corrupted.
Then the legitimacy of the Menethil line would be called into question by Baron Rivendare, who would easily feign innocence over the situation. The resulting political turmoil would still provide the perfect grounds to launch the Cult's coup and rebellion.
Arthas' fall was an ultimately important but not wholly integral part of the Cult's plan.
>>
>>748253102
>>748252779
>>748251304
Uther is a wise guy and he'd have found a humane way to contain it
>>
>>748252896
I mean yeah Mal'Ganis is the one that baited Arthas into it. The whole scenario was designed to morally corrupt him. Then afterwards Mal'Ganis baits him into going to Northrend and sealing the deal.
>>
>>748241523
>instead stratholme became a fortress of the undead with rivendare as their leader
That was after Arthas' return from Northrend.
They show later in the game that the humans took it back and were clearing the corpses.
>>
>>748253259
nigga lordaeron city fell and the citizens were turning into undead and uther STILL didn't know what the fuck to do
>>
>>748240865
Maybe you shouldn't go in their homes
>>
>>748242240
Didn't know Trump was quoting Arthas, pretty based
>>
So in review;
>Arthas doesn't purge Stratholme
Mal'ganis leads an army of Undead against Lordaeron's army and the Silver Hand, either wiping them out or crippling them. Rivendare leads the Cult in a coup against Terenas, destroying Lordaeron. The Scourge march on Quel'thalas, Kel'thuzad is resurrected.
>Arthas purges Stratholme but doesn't leave
News spreads that the Crown Prince not obly disbanded the Silver Hand but wiped out an entire city on dubious evidence, which only he and his immediate loyalists can speak for. Rivendare uses this as a catalyst to launch a coup. Lordaeron is destroyed and turned, Quel'thalas is assaulted, Kel'thuzad is resurrected.
>Arthas purges Stratholme and leaves
Arthas is corrupted by Frostmourne and returns to destroy Lordaeron. Quel'thalas burns. Kel'thuzad returns.
What was the winning play here?
>>
>>748254016
>Rivendare uses this as a catalyst to launch a coup. Lordaeron is destroyed and turned,
debatable
>>
>>748242240
Then WoW squanders this bit and most of Silvermoon is okay and the Sunwell is brought back anyway
>>
>>748253180
Why must you remind me of that fucking character
>>
>>748254153
>>748254016
in fact, more likely that coup happens when he leaves, which might make more for a sensible backup plan on their part, in case the Stratholme turning undead doesn't work out
>>
>>748254016
>Rivendare uses this as a catalyst to launch a coup. Lordaeron is destroyed and turned
I really doubt he's suddenly going to make the kingdom rise up against their king, who didn't even have anything to do with the purging. Like, why didn't he do that anyway?
>>
>>748253259
Uther didn't do shit to help anyone except try to pull arthas back from northrend
The only even remotely positive outcome is to let Arthas pull the lever and let that trolley hit the one Stratholme then actually stick with him to validate his decision as the right one without him losing his soul in the north. The other option means letting the undead trolley run over all of Lordaeron while sitting on your hands because a true undead plague is that fucking awful to deal with.
>>
>>748254016
>What was the winning play here?
Uther and Jaina both stop being pussies and help Arthas do the thing and then slap him in the back of the head when he suggests following the big bald demon into an obvious trap.
>>
>>748254016
How hard would it be to find some more plagued grain and show people how fucked up it is, I doubt they ate or destroyed all of it, plus they could probably get some mages or warlocks in to look for evidence of Mal'Ganis
>>
>>748254153
>>748254312
Was kinda glossing over it for time but the purge would give enough leverage to shake the monarchy's foundation in order to expand or better prepare the Cult. It would take longer, but wouldn't be a major setback in the overall plan.
>>748254214
In the case of Arthas leaving then Rivendare would remain in standby going by Mal'ganis' plan to corrupt Arthas.
>>
>>748254387
Bigger question is how that shit even works. Cities have granaries. Over time people would start to use plagued grain, but not all people at once, so only SOME people would be turning undead and gradually.
>>
>>748254553
Rivendare was specifically in on it and made sure the tainted grain was dispensed. Evidence of it woule be destroyed either by the Cult or during the Purge.
>>
How come Sylvanas got to have a big redemption from what she did but Arthas is treated as mega satan hitler for arguably doing the exact same things?

It's genuinely the result of the fanbase being retarded. Originally they were merged as a new composite being. Fans get asking Blizzard what this meant so they changed it to "lol Arthas won, it's just Arthas".
>>
>>748254643
Drastically different writing quality and authorial intent. Arthas was written as a Faustian anti-hero who becomes the villain, he kept riding on "the end justifies the means" until the means became the end. Sylvanas was written just so people could play undead characters in World of Warcraft.

If Medivh introduced himself no one would believe him since its common knowledge that he was killed and he'd be called impostor so it's understandable that he didn't bother introducing himself.

However omitting critical information that the Burning Legion is back and planning an invasion by kneecapping Lordaeron via a rice plague and even enticing the young prince to chase his own madness was just a severe miscalculation.

Terenas, Uther and Antonidas fought in WC2 and would have stopped for a minute if the Burning Legion was mentioned. They highly likely wouldn't follow Medivh to the letter but more human ships would have sailed into Kalimdor including Arthas himself under orders from his father. Lordaeron would still get cratered but Kalimdor would have way more Alliance population.
>>
>>748257275
>I AM MEDIVH THE DEMON SUMMONER. THE STARTER OF WW1
Nah, he's vague on purpose so the king wouldn't start asking for his identity which puts him in the situation where he has to dodge the question.

>>748257956
This was a change added in due the fans continually failing to understand "No we are one" despite the devs explaining it in talks.
>"Arthas and Ner'zhul have become a perfect fusion of one being - Arthas' personality and body with Ner'zhul's wisdom, experience, power and EVIL." -Chris Metzen,

Arathor flat out visited her in the Maw and she flat out said she's not leaving unless there's an emergency since she's respecting her punishment.

>Uther
Lets see:
>when the culling came Uther failed not only the crown by disobeying royalty but also the light by refusing to save the people in Stratholme he believed were still alive
>when Arthas returned and killed his father, Uther locked himself inside the throne room with the king's corpse while Lordaeron Capital went to shit
>when Lordaeron land got overrun with the cult and the undead, Uther gave a TOWN GUARD the order to clear the land of both while he went to safety to get reinforcements, and he only got back after the job got done
>when it was time to retake Andorhal, Uther once again told the Town Guard to charge in by himself while he "ambushed the stragglers outside"
Uther is a gigantic pussy and brainless too, he had all the time since the Culling of Stratholme to the Fall of Lordaeron Capital to think of a plan to save people from undeath and he failed to do so.

I've bee away from retail for so long I don't even know who the first one is. As for Anduin, I remember there were strong hints that Taelia would become his queen. But there was some outcry on the forums after that quest where they meet. Apparently a lot of faggots had headcanon that Anduin was gay and cried about this. Blizz never actually confirmed Anduin and Taelia would become lovers, but sometimes I wonder if those plans were aborted because some idiots complained.

The underlying meta theme of the Human and Undead campaigns in RoC is that Lordaeron, particularly shown through Uther, are old school Fantasy characrers against a new age threat. It's an almost overt critique on the evolving nature of Fantasy as a genre, in that that archetypical style "Good guy Humans/Elves/Dwarves fight bad guy Orcs/Ogres/Dragons", which Warcraft 2 had followed, is now on the way out in public tastes.
By sticking to his supposedly tried and true methods, Uther ultimately invites both his own destruction and that of Lordaeron, refusing to compromise on his stance as he believes compromise isn't needed and everything will be fine if he 'sticks to the script'.
The broader strokes of this also pead to Arthas becoming a darker of King Arthur, arguably one of the most mainstream Fantasy names, in that he damns himself and his kingdom by retrieving his 'sword in the stone' via Frostmourne.
What perhaps makes this more poignant is that it's not a subversion performed via parody; Uther is never really portrayed as a bad or even truly incompetent person. He lacks the full details and does the best that he can with what he has, but that ultimately ends up not being enough and he is overtaken by the 'new age' foes that are the Undead, being led by their heavy metal Evil Prince.
There is further theming along these lines in other campaigns, sometimes more overt, but Uther in particular stands out under scrutiny.

I almost feel like Blizzard wanted the player to feel sorry for Arthas in the Shadowlands. Players more excited thinking we'd get to talk with Arthas and see him in a redeemed or see him in his human form at least. I can at least agree that a lot of characters were assassinated/butchered as the game went on. Uther, Jaina, Arthas, Thrall, Anduin, etc. I don't even usually give a shit about "woke" nonsense but it's hard to ignore that the writers and staff are highly liberal and LGBTQ. The game became a safe haven for liberals and LGBTQ people, so Blizzard ended up catering to them since the staff are of the same mind. They don't want to offend anyone's happy virtual space where they can escape away from reality of being bullied for being LGBTQ and vegan or whatever.

Legion was the last decent expansion that I really enjoyed and played regularly when it first launched. Illidan carried it, but it introduced a lot of neat stuff imo.

>In his madness, Sargeras shattered the prisons of the Eredar and the Nathrezim and set the vile demons free. The cunning demons, bowing before the dark Titan's vast rage and power, offered themselves to him and swore to serve him in whatever malicious way they could. From the ranks of the powerful Eredar, Sargeras chose two champions to lead his demonic army of destruction.
>Kil'jaeden the Deceiver was chosen to seek out the darkest races in the universe and lure them to Sargeras' shadow. The second champion, Archimonde the Defiler, was chosen to lead Sargeras' vast armies into battle against any who would stand against the dark Titan's will.

It's a bit more nuanced than that. Archimonde and Kil'jaeden are essentially equals in both status and power, Archimonde leads demon armies while Kil'jaeden recruits them; he corrupted the orcs and created the Lich King and Scourge.
Sargeras would be the super mega boss but he was originally a good guy that the demons corrupted to their side, and he's been dead/dormant since WC1 so it's more of his memory still having a strong legacy than him watching from the background.

In the original WC3 game Arthas needs an army of ghouls to kill Uther for him.

In that video you linked he needs an army of undead to help him to kill Uther.

In the Book form of WC3 Arthas is getting killed by uther in a 1v1 until Nerzhul intervenes and helps Arthas kill him.

>Why did Ner'zhul want Arthas?
He is the best mortal champion and also the biggest threat to the Scourge and the Burning Legion on the Eastern Continent.
>How long was he waiting to execute his master plan?
Well, he needed to put a lot of pieces in place. He needed Kel'thuzad to start his cult, seduce some of the nobility to seek eternal life and for some of the mages to study Necromancy. He needed to spread rumors about Frostmourne with the Dwarves, so they would go on an expedition. Then of course also time to invent the Undead Plague in the first place and make it so infectious you literally turn into a Zombie after eating grain infected with it. I imagine it really needed to be quite potent, because otherwise the virus would just die, if you baked the grain into bread or something. Not that complicated of a plan, but it requires a lot of organizational talent and time.
>What the fuck did he even want in the long run?
You'd guess he want revenge on Kil'Jaeden for rendering his soul into a fine paste and putting the remains into a block of ice and armor, but he seems to honestly just want to be free of the Burning Legion by removing all of his Dreadlord Jailers.
>Why did the Dreadlords even bother with him?
Well, he was "punished" for his failure on Dreanor by being bound to an incredibly potent cursed artifact, so they had high expectations for him, as a sort of fantasy bio weapon to create an Undead Army and control it for them.
>Like they had no plan or capability to invade Azeroth without some retarded ass plague that only affected what was arguably the weakest species inhabiting the planet?
It's like a geopolitical chess game. You stack the odds in your favor. And they could have absolutely failed easily, if a fully operational Alliance was standing ready to delay or stop their summoning attempt.

>Warcraft is such dogshit writing and worse still
Nah, it all makes sense honestly. It's amazing how coherent everything is up until the start of WOW.

Garithos should have ordered all of his men to breed the High Elves

We needed Jaina missions, not some literal whos and more Forsakenslop

Like Jaina nuking Orgrimmar after an entire mission of rebuilding Theramore
>>
>>748254016
>Dubious evidence
Every single soldier that fought alongside him, and any survivors of heartglen could attest to the veracity of his claims, and more importantly, so could jaina. SHE LITERALLY HEARD IT STRAIGHT FROM THE SOURCE, KELTHUZAD AND SHE STILL DIDNT HELP ARTHAS BECAUSE SHE'S A RETARDED KUNT
>>
>>748267575
He easily could have done this too. We know he had access to Dalaran prisons. Probably could have salvaged the ruins and gifted the belves some crack mana in return for sex sex sex. As seen with the Windrunner sisters, Those Quel Thalas women cannot help themselves.

>>748267628
But that didn't happen, they're tieing it into the new stuff I think, besides I hear the new main char is good, I'm glad it's not fully focused on Sylvanas fuck that buckbroken BAC addict
>>
>>748267712
Sylvanas did not have BHC though

Arthas should have raped her and given her a halfling undead human x elf babby before turning her into a banshee

it would be fine if reforged was free or like $5

The bes part is that even in shadowlands, in the afterlife , he's still playing the victim and blaming arthas. You stupid nigger, you're the reason it all went down that way. If you had helped arthas there's a very high chance he wouldnt have gone insane. Instead you let your arrogance and hubris cloud your judgement, forcing arthas to shoulder everything alone

Opposed to what
Fighting him?

>Crime
Purging undead isn't a crime. If anything cuckther broke both his oath to the kingdom and his oath as a paladin in they moment. He personally damned the souls of the people he allowed to turn.
>>
>>748267474
"they" did not make anything, some Hive Workshop posters did.

The most damning evidence against the orcs comes later. Thrall is really just trying to go against the base nature of his people.

You don't say.
His only Warcraft 2 appearance consists of him shitting himself and running away.

The definitive edition texture pack isn't even finished.
Campaign exclusive assets aren't made yet i.e. no human Jaina/Arthas skin, and classic/reforged version of Undead Paladin model hasn't been made yet (definitive edition of Undead Paladin is always used in classic mode).

Thanks for letting me know, funny how before I noticed the price tag I was genuinely ready to give Blizzard a compliment.

How should Arthas's story have ended? I think there should've been another showdown with Illidan, Jaina and possibly Thrall.

Courteously inviting Kael from the Outland to sit on the Frozen Throne to watch Arthas breeds Jaina with his frozen cock (Kael likes it).

Why does everyone forget that the scourge was only there to soften them up for the burning legion? After the scourge was done mulching lordaeron they got hit by a full scale legion invasion as well who were just slaughtering whatever was left with no resistance.
Also without arthas turning you probably wouldn't have ended up with jaina traveling to kalimdor and saving the world.
>>
>>748271236
It was kinda cool for its time. I think they were riffing on the Buster Sword.
>>
>>748235486
Part of concerning himself the welfare of his country is ensuring he has a heir that can take up the crown should he die early.
If Arthas and his father dies, who does the crown pass to? There are no male Menethils left, only his older sister. The bloodline would die with them. That's severe neglect for someone who supposedly cares so much about his kingdom.
Warcraft, like most other settings, completely neglects this aspect of being a ruler or heir of a nation.
>>
>>748235308
i still don't get what his plan was
how is killing the people of strathholme before mal'ganis does going to change anything?
aren't undead raised from the dead in any case?
or was he going to burn all the corpses to the point beyond which they could be raised?
cause he didn't make that clear at all, or if that is even possible
no wonder uther stormed off
>>
>>748240368
You might think that this is because the writers were dumb hacks, but it's actually a commentary on how true cruelty can only flourish if you have a narrative of victimhood for your people.

What’s the best way to play Warcraft 3 now?
>>
>>748272619
Blizzard added 1.29.2 version WC3 just 4 months ago.
It has true widescreen support, compatible all classic custom maps (except DotA for being made specifically for 1.26 in mind), and it isn't 30GB.
>>
>>748250290
Unless the alternate timeline is backwards, too, meaning all the ancient history added by later WoW is fake, there is still no salvaging it.
>>
>>748235413
No
>>
>>748270974
Same thing how WoW ended him
>>
>>748273904

>>748274230
WoW handled Arthas' end fairly and beautifully

>died like a KWAB from adventurers
>casted down by the man who trained him into Warcraft hell for all the shit he's done
>entire being and memory nuked from existence, only Jaina remembers him and not in a good way

He got a fair deal considering what he did compared to Garrosh who got away lightly and easily.

You know that it isn't just YOUR units right? You are going to be fighting someone.
Even... multiple other someones?
You could be in a match with 12 players each with 30+ units.

Let alone, you know, custom games?
Have you ever even played wc3? I think you are the larper if you think 100 units on screen isn't something that happens all the time.

I wish Jaina had more missions in WC3. I always liked her more than Arthas. She was supposed to be the Jim Raynor of WC3, but the disappears from the game after a 2 missions.
She was also ridiculously cute in WC3.

Maybe reforged graphics are more your speed.

gods...
>>
>>748278120
Maybe. They've got people on board that can make a proper RTS campaign, and with Forever they've already established that they're to committing to at least two separate Warcraft canons, Retail and Forever. May as well make a third canon with the RTS games.

There's no real point to her until this expansion.

No one is interested herding humans to sail west, building up basic bitch bases only to get attacked by the Horde and other Kalimdor creep and dungeon crawling to Medivh.

Even building up what would become Theramore would be comically dull.
>>
In fact, some units in reforged look SEXO
>>
>>748278580
The very existence of sky elves in Forever and not in Retail is already a huge difference. We'll have to see what else happens when Forever actually launches.
>>
>>748278627
Nah, you fags just keep parroting what Grubby and other e-sports autists had said, but most people don't play the game at the e-sports level and really aren't autistic enough to cry over the Footman's shield not being rectangular enough.
