When this game has been catering to the Twitter crowd for the past 4 years it becomes insufferable. Stop ruining this franchisz for your echo chamber on social media. I got into this game cause I connected with the dudebro metal DnD nerds that raised this franchise from the ground (partly thanks to Warhammer).
I don’t care for your stupid activism causes, your agenda, your motto of “the game has changed, let’s change it even more” when this game is in steady decline thanks to the people above.
I liked Warcraft for the metalness, the toxic testosterone as the wokies on Twitter like to call it. I just want to come home after a day of work and pretend I’m a bloodthirsty Orc unleashing his temper on the battlefield, and lately, all these updates don’t seem to be catered to me anymore.
Soon to be dead franchise if Microsoft don’t put the boot to these insane hijacktivists.
Every god damn update seems to be catered to the 2k people on Twitter these days.
Well they used to colour there hair back then with berries and roots so you are wrong.
However, we do know that medieval people knew of recipes for hair-colouring and also that they probably used them.
In the 11th century Trotula de Ruggiero from Salerno wrote a treatise “De Ornatu Mulierum” (also know as Trotula Minor). In it she wrote about how to stay unwrinkled, remove puffiness from face and eyes, remove unwanted hair from the body, lighten the skin, hide blemishes and freckles, wash teeth and take away bad breath.
She also wrote of hair-dying and from her we know that Agrimonia sp and Buxus sp (boxwood) could be used to colour hair blond, while Black Henbane or Sage was used for colouring hair black. This or a more golden colour might also be achieved by using burnt grapevine ash, crocuses, dragontree, dwarf elderberry, greater celandine, madder, myrtle berry, oat and saffron. Extracts from these plants were often mixed up with liquorice and used as shampoo. Other plants were used as remedies to lengthen hair or making it soft and curly (olive oil). Many of these recipes were handed down through the centuries in later cosmetic handbooks, of which we know of several from the 15th century. It appears there were lots of medieval hair colors around.
A few nitpicked “examples” (based on nothing) and voila it’s a normal, practised common wide thing.
Everytime they operate this way.
Do you know why the gnomes had pink hair? Because they’re already a whimsical race that Blizzard only used for some comedic relief or value. Never were they put in a serious setting. Because they’re gnomes.
OR (and that will maybe blow your mind) people just like the color…
Like anyone cares for that except for conservative-oriented people.
And again, aside of the conservative people no one cares.
Agreed. Full neon-green hair is “a no-go” but Draenei flying around in the Vindicaar is totally fine
And considering you quickly refrained to calling other people “stupid” because they don’t agree with you makes it clear that talking to you is a lost cause.
Semantics. The point is we have technology in game that can launch us into space, into another dimensions or timelines even. Yet the purple hair on a pixel woman is what takes you out of the fantasy.
Dyed hair have been popular in real world for years. I’m not saying centuries like some of the posters here, but it’s not a new trend. 20 years ago there were countless of girls dying their hair, so it’s not a new fad.
No shet, Sherlock. But it needs more than just color preference to go outside like that.
People who dye their hair like that care. Like the ones I quoted.
To act stupid =/= to be stupid.
For example: "I know that “to act stupid” means that someone understands perfectly well what is meant, but acts purposely ignorant in order to screw up the other person…
- but I’ll pretend I don’t know this idiom and allege Thorgrath insulted someone just because of a simple disagreement in order to be able to discredit him."
Another example:
“I pretend I didn’t read that you said spacecraft is bs, even though I quoted from the same post where that was stated so I can make fun of you.”
Do you see the difference? You act like you’re stupid, but I’m sure you’re not actually.
I welcome sjw hair colours, all my pvp characters are human, I’ll dye my hair pink then preach people in arena about how it is bad to attack each other, human beings should not hurt and kill each other
Mate, you’re biased and you only use “anecdotal” evidence. You’re embarrassing.
I’m baffled why types of you are even playing Warcraft, or got into it.
You know what this game is based upon?
Or are you one of those types of “we hijacked it and now it must go in the “right” direction”.
I don’t see how this has anything to do with players wanting more customization options and choice in video games.
Those hair colors will not devalue the game in any way as Amazon Prime did with the boring, short-haired, humanized Elves in “The Rings of Power”, devaluing the Tolkien Universe.
You two seem to be basically very close-minded, prejudiced people that can’t stand people getting things get changed in ways you personally dislike because of your world views.
Another term rushes to my mind that expresses this kind of behavior… “Jealousy”
You’re complaint is conservatives being against the changes.
Maybe not to you, but to some it might add onto the other small things they’ve been doing.
I really don’t care if someone paints their hair blue or pink. What I care about if these hair colours will make it into the already crap storytelling trying to maintain a serious tone.
I don’t exactly why one should be jealous of someone dyeing their hair?
