Blizzcon Lore Interviews with Steve Danuser & Morgan Day

Velen’s exodus was never about Sargeras and him just doing the Eredar version of “going out for cigarettes”.

Named after an overwatch character who in turn was named after a blizzard employee*

He did.

He stopped Genn from ripping to Sylvanas to shreds /Alleria from shooting her dead in the throne room in Lordaeron.

None of this would have happened if it wasn’t for that one god-awful cinematic, bros.

I ain’t even gonna argue that I am right or it would make any form of sense. I just liked Garrosh okay!?

Smallbrain King lets the cornered enemy hold a 5 minute monolouge instead of just attacking her.

You’re really hitting all of my triggers today, Vixi.

Im sorry, I just can’t help it :slightly_frowning_face:

No, no, no, no, no, no! No… No…

leave Garrosh and Arthas alone!

Don’t bring them back to ruin their character. Their arcs are over, let them rest!

small brain king detects ortellus is lying because he got crushed by some bell or something and his bones ache from the pressure changes in the air caused by lies or something

I don’t know what makes some story writers think they can create an immense cosmology and universe with everything in it explained, handled and making sense, especially when each time something is retconned and writers keep changing.

Not like everything about real universe is clear for them to inspire from and think they have an example to heed.

Is this the part where I awkwardly backpedal to say I was only half-serious?

When you can’t come up with anything original any more so you recycle old characters and stories but that doesn’t do the job so you recycle old games so that doesn’t the job so you do both on mass.

“Yo hear me out, I know Derek Proudmoore was literally incinirated to ash and his ship sank to the bottom of the ocean where it has been for 30 years, but what if… what if he came back as a kind of regular looking dude?”

I swear this is WoWs current theme.

Hey Ortellus, they gonna bring General Lordain as a Baron of Maldraxxus.
He’s involved in Human Heritage armour quest which is a badass recreation of Lothar armour.

The issue of World of Warcraft’s increasingly cosmological scope is that the magic system (and cosmology) is so soft you can spread it on toast. It’s incredibly poorly defined by any metric, from later additions that make earlier lore retroactively nonsensical or have weird implications, random pieces that fit nowhere, and the inevitable retcons.

The real problem is that the writers want to be able to categorise everything and explain it all, but they can’t actually do it. They have a soft magic system wearing a paper mask which reads “hard magic system, it all falls into this handy chart :)” which falls apart the second they add anything or even if you think about it too hard.

Hence why Chronicle, the previously objective view of the universe starting from creation, is now ‘from the titan perspective’ and we’re getting another cosmology insertion from a different perspective, one which will likely be just as unreliable when the plot calls for it.

Not going to lie, I care more about Arthas than I do about Garrosh.

But holy hell, they need to leave dead characters alone.

we might be in the wrong expansion for that
