After 10 years of slander on the Horde I think if we start cutting corners on the cast again I think it is time to have about great blue team names get the axe to the head. The alliance cast is way too huge and never had to suffer from real casualties.
My proposition for people we can get rid of are:
Jaina
Tyrande
Malfurion
Velen
Magni
Moira
Genn
Turalyon
Alleria
Gelbin
and pretty much every fan favorite the alliance community would cancel their sub over because they love them just so much.
I hope we can come to an agreement.
The pointless slaughter of dead Horde leaders just to raise the stakes needs to stop, we can’t afford anymore boring replacements with zero personality or lore background like irrelevant folks as of Talanji, Baine or Female Thrall.
I mean, since Battle for Azeroth and King Rastakhan, no one has really been dying.
And that is 6 years ago.
It probably speaks into what Metzen talked about in a recent interview, that it really has to be carefully considered if any of these iconic characters are to die. For one because they’re so iconic to the story, but also because they’re important to the franchise as they drive a lot of marketing and advertisement material. Sylvanas is a good example of that. She is the poster image of Warcraft. Blizzard aren’t going to sacrifice that for a story twist.
And there’s been a recognition from both Metzen and Hazzikostas in the past that Blizzard aren’t easily able to produce new iconic characters with the same weight and gravitas as the old ones – further emphasizing the need to keep them around.
And that all probably ties a bit into why we’ve moved away from the faction war, because Blizzard don’t like the consequences that comes with it.
We’re all happy family and the bestest of friends now. Deal with it.
In June you created a thread telling everyone you needed to take a break for your mental health only for you to start posting again in July. I knew it wouldn’t take long for you to get back to these threads again.
For crying out loud just go seek professional help, this obsession is unhealthy. This is a game and you need to learn when to disengage from thinking about it.
Why don’t you ask for cooler Horde characters instead of asking for cool Alliance characters to be removed? I agree so far, that many Horde characters are boring now. I think the end of the faction conflict is what made the Horde meaningless kind of, because in the new “cosmic” story, the alliance seem like the protagonists, and the Horde is a bit of a side-kick. The Horde also lost their uniqueness as playable villains after Sylvanas, Kaelthas, and Garrosh are gone.
Because all cool Horde chars are gone and Blizzard has shown they are not able to replace those we lost in a good way which is why Thrall is our token reprasentation guide now.
There are some few cool, unique characters still in the Horde, but the best ones are dead for sure. Talanji is pretty cool for example, but Blizzard missed the perfect opportunity to use her in the Nerubian storyline.
No, be glad the Alliance allow the Horde to still exist after the countless war crimes, threats and active wars against them. Th Alliance has the power to crush the horde, but chooses not to out of our goodness.
The Horde have done nothing on Azeroth but cause war and destruction whereverr they go, with a few exceptions.
Belmont (Forsaken Deathstalker Leader), Thalyssra (Legendary Nightborne mage), Lorthemar, Rokhan (He supported Saurfang against Sylvanas), Talanji, and Thrall of course are pretty cool characters to me. Eitrigg is also still alive, and we have technically High Warlord Cromush still, but he doesn’t get used anymore sadly. Rexxar is also alive. They just don’t really get used at all in the story right now. Thrall is also just this old, supporting shaman, who helps Anduin, and raises his son atm.
I’m not an Alliance fan but even I would consider the death of Variann as one of the biggest in recent WoW. The Horde has lost b/c tier characters at most.
