[ADRP]: What do you think is wrong with Alliance RP?

I’m going to go out and prove Godwin’s law.
(No, I didn’t read any of the rest of what you wrote.)

304

Just, uhhh, just so you’re aware… DH’s don’t have bound demons. The demon ceases to exist after the ritual. Just umm, nitpicking… :sweat_smile:

305

…they changed THAT too in that Illidan book or whatever? :unamused: Did they left anything that was good in DH lore anyway?

306

The training begins with the person slaying a demon, eating its heart, and drinking its blood. The spirit of the ingested demon bonds with them and from this bond the demon hunter receives visions of the Burning Legion destroying countless worlds across the universe.

Come again?

I only ever had a problem with the greens once and that was someone else’s fault (It hurts to remember that episode). Shonn is an “interesting” fellow (I still swear he sits with a thesaurus next to him when he rp’s). I have many fond memories of my time running about with them. I still miss Denessa and Pat. Constantly telling me off for over doing it with healing. Or surprising them with Broch’s backpack of many things. I never liked the whole “rule” thing but well it’s one bit. Shonn and Karienn know my opinion on it and that’s as far as it needs to go.

Yeah, Illidan novel, sorry.

But there is an upside. In the novel, the protagonist only realises he isn’t being influenced by his actual demon later on. So, all the people that RP as having bound demons, kind of make sense ICly, they’re just ICly wrong, lol.

309

That sounds like some bootlicker nonsense. Take direct action, folx.

Well that sucks a$$. I’ve abandoned the character anyway so doesn’t matter anymore I guess. Damn, I liked that Demon-influence struggle that used to be part of the Demon Hunter whole thing.

311

Oh, there’s still a struggle, it’s just with generic fel corruption and power rather than an actual sentient demon. It’s pretty much the same, but without a voice in your head. Rather, you struggle to manage yourself, your own temperament. It’s kind of like being a demon monk.

312

I mean nothing stops you from doing exactly that, it’s just there’s no sentient mind behind that influence.

You can go as far as to RP that the influence takes shape in a way that reflects the original demon’s characteristics. For any observer there can be legitimately 0 difference between RPing that the demon is trying to take over vs. your character struggling with demonic corruption.

Would be funny to say she became schizophrenic and believes the Demon is still in her, only to be proven later that she was hearing voices, but it was just an Imp trolling her.

I remember RPing a DH, was good around early Legion to Nighthold.

Besides everyone skulking around Felwood.

I had a slight uniqueness to my own DH. Having bonded with an Inquisitor. But had cursed him during the ritual for his ability to speak to be a difficult. As if his throat is always clogged. Taking power to dispel for even a moment. But DH RP I never got the likeness for in the end

waves Hello.

Alliance rp is basically competition rp. Everyone seems to want to win.
while horde rp is less about that.

316

Have a look at Vandel’s wowpedia page if you haven’t read the novel. It’s less binding and more merging. What comes out the other side of the DH ritual is neither demon nor elf, but a merging of both entities. Neither truly survives.

317

It has potential but it is also harder to expand upon it than it is with, say, Death Knights. My angle was that, OK, the Legion is destroyed in all practical ways but Demons are still floating around the multiverse and Warlocks are still a thing dicking around with them so my job ain’t done… just broadening my list of people I can be a pain towards. :stuck_out_tongue:

318

Someone’s gotta make sure demons don’t migrate from Shadowmoon to Nagrand so Thrall can have a nice disintegrating wheat field :wink:

319

This is also very true. And a great annoyance.

320

But we know gnomes win by default. :smile:

I refuse! No! Punt tools! NO!

Pff, you elves are frail and pathetic.

Especially your cheese.
