Pet Peeve: The Undying

I don’t know, he seems to be doing what’s he’s always done and is enjoying it. It’s just that it’s now his duty rather than hobby. :stuck_out_tongue:

But I get your point. It’d still be interesting to RP out though.

And then you become a rotbrained ghoul. But everlasting (terms and conditions apply) life is viable by a few means. The question is why you’d pursue it and live the macleod life of fleeting love and lingering loss.

'cos dying is a mug’s game and I ain’t no mug.

Lightforged are immortal. And so are undead, except Undead may be consumed by rotting.

Bruh, no one kills anyone with age in this game, so as long as they can still be stabbed in the face it’s all good.

Malfurion should’ve died of age-related complications while Saurfang was hesitating over whether or not to kill him.

They both should have. Withered old men.

Draenei are practically immortal. We have NPCs that still remember Argus as it once was. By now plenty of them would probably be ‘aged’ like Velen but I can’t recall any mention that they can die of old age, they left Argus some eleventy bajillion years ago didn’t they?

They have a VERY LONG lifespan in general, but Lightforged don’t even have Lifespan, but totally Immortal.
And time passes different in the nether, I assume the army of the Light may have fought much longer then 25,000 years, since Turalyon alone seen 1000 years of it.
And their Immortality is also protective against some issues like sicknesses aswell if i recall correctly. But in general, Draenei live long, and Velen has been said to be the “Ageless one” and immortal, but I’m not sure.

Theory: Draenei are actually one of the most short lived races ever, shorter than Hozen, only living for about 5-10 years. But they clone themselves and pass their knowledge over to the new clone body and pretend they are just ageless.

Also I have a massive peeve which I re-discovered when researching some lore stuff:

The whole thing about demons/the burning legion transcending all realities and there exist only one version of them. It is probably one of, if not the worst lore decision/piece of writing in all of Blizzard’s games and is just hammered with plot holes.

Yet its not something they seem to want to recton but seems proud of, unlike many of their actual good stuff.

Part of this peeve is that apparantly this is only the case for the demons/burning legion. The titans themselves or even gold gods/void lords doesn’t transcend realities and there can exist multiple of them across the dimensions(according to their wiki pages, atleast on the titans, it specifically states this)

So why can the demons? Why is it only the demons that do this, and how? And how does it work when 90%ish of the demons are previous other races. Let’s take Kil’Jaden and Archimonde, that have been stated to follow this rule, in that across all realities there is only one of them and its the same. Has it always been like this, or did reality change when they became demons? How does that work with the alternate reality we did visit in WoD? Where we had an alternate Velen and the Draenei fled from Argus in the same manner from both Archimonde and Kil’Jaden.

How does it work with Sargeras, or any being that becomes a demon etc?

Whoever invented/wrote that piece of lore should never be allowed to work with any form of writing or fiction again. It’s a crime against writing/good taste.

He fused together with every single version of Sargeras in a DBZ fashion, but due to his power he could make it permanent, instead of a 30 min thing.

Yeah that’s Afrasiabi for you.

Given that the Legion can send people through alt universes, Kil’Jaedan could have defeated us by just flooding the world with infinite Gul’Dans.

Don’t even need to use their warlock powers. Just flatten the enemy with infinite ageing cripple orcs.

Guess you could say we’re Gul’done for.

Remove all his access to any sort of writing tools and creative decisions. Contain him in a sealed room with no communications.

This is actually a genius plan.

Also follow up: Since they transcend all possible realities, that would mean that whenever we’ve travelled back in time, like Well of Eternity and Mount Hyjal, it would also be the same character. So why would they repeat the same misstakes?

Because if it isnt the same character, if we alter any sort of tiny little thing, then it would become a new timeline/reality, and then they couldnt exist since there is only one of them. So they should be the same one always.

My head hurts.

This is why you don’t do time travel expansions.

Or alternate realities whatsoever within the same canon universe.

I think this term was once meant to describe something you enjoy doing but is highly frowned upon and/or illegal. Like murder.

Patch 8.3: we discover the draenei clone machines. Are draenei just clone troopers?

They work like the Asgard in Stargate: SG-1
