Just heard a troll call elves “knife ears”.
That’s my peeve. Unless the lack of self-awareness was the entire point.

Anyone calling Elves “knife ears” is my peeve. This ain’t Dragon Age.

This entire thing can apply to every fantasy trend that crosses over to Warcraft.
Since Warcraft is the most lazily developed fantasy setting around with no real effort to firmly establish the cultures beyond the superficial or obscure quests.

Silence, Knife ears
I have no idea how well-received the open world elements were at launch, but I keep loading up MGSV, doing the side-ops to kidnap people for a few hours, then head off without doing any main quests. It’s not really a pet peeve. I just like vibing with a proper open world game again.
Most of WHF’s decline is owed largely to poor management from GW and the subsequent replacements have been godsends.
Anyway my actual peeve is that Khagra’s Raiders (the Underworlds Chaos Warband) isn’t out yet and I want it because the model looks great. I want that femBaddon cosplayer to angrily glare at me from my shelf.
Just finished my Tomb Kings campaign on the vortex map and it was a blast.
Want to try a new faction but not sure who. So far I’ve played High Elves, Dwarves and Tomb Kings. I want to try Wood Elves now their campaign has been updated but a bit worried they require a lot of micro management in battle.
Nah. The management at the time saw GW go from strength to strength in terms of… well, basically everything. WHFB’s problems were far more fundamental than simply “le managément” being incompetent or handling it poorly.
WHFB was basically impossible to get into. There wasn’t any small scale entry game available for it. There were skirmish games in the same setting like Mordheim, but when you tell people “yeah you need 2000 points to play WHFB”, and you absolutely did incidentally since the game didn’t function below that points level, most people just checked out.
Whereas 40k was always far easier to get into for smaller games. 40k in 40 Minutes, Combat Patrol. Even the most basic entry level purchase of 1 HQ and 2 Troops was far more appealing for new people than “Okay you need a General, 3 Heroes, 120 infantry split across six units, four units of cavalry, and this massive magical monster”.
Again, I quite literally saw WHFB products rotting on store shelves for many years. Nobody was buying it. And the people who -were- bought into it weren’t buying new armies or the new releases in the amount GW wanted. An established Empire player I knew had over 100 thousand points of them and he simply didn’t buy anything anymore for that army beyond maybe one or two boxes of whatever new Empire thing came out that year, if at all.
WHFB was killed by it’s own bloat, not anything else.

Peeve: Elise Starseeker’s outfit from her Hearthstone hero art is not available in WoW, and neither is her Saviors of Uldum outfit.
They’re so cool! *_*

The strongest army right now is just to spam treemen who’re big monsters. You select your entire army and select the unit you don’t want to bother you anymore. Heal them up with magic during and after the fight for easy campaigns.
Nearly on 40hrs played of Rimworld now. I have a problem.

Isn’t long/sharp ears the norm in WoW as well?
It’d be like if TES hated on mers.
The company that revived the Crash Bandicoot IP and brought us the Tony Hawks remaster/remake/whatever…just got bought by Blizzard.
“Going forward, the Vicarious Visions team of about 200 people will be employees of Blizzard and “fully dedicated to existing Blizzard games and initiatives,” which means the Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2 studio will no longer be creating games as the lead developer.”
truly the greatest achievement you can have is your quality work getting turned into making overwatch skins.

Watch Junkrat and Roadhog get Crash Bandicoot skins.
My neighbors can’t tell whether I’m laughing or crying.
It’s more that the exact term is pulled directly from Dragon Age as a setting.

Oh I know! I love Dragon Age. But it has no place in Wow.

The only problem is that you’ve not started an organ harvesting program yet with your prisoners.
I’ve been starting lots of new games, just figuring things out (+ adding mods)
Try the new faction, Heralds of Ariel.
Sisters of Twilight are so cool and fun to use, you can do a standard frontline/rear line if you wish with waywatchers, shielded eternal guard, wardancers, wildwood rangers etc, and great stag knights are super fun to use.
