I found the Dawn of War ‘Remaster’ ultimately very Whelming.

As someone in FB comments pointed out - there are Texture Pack mods that do a better job?
Like, I’m glad to see SOME life for Dawn of War, but they really need to do better…

I had a momentary lapse in judgement.

…well and somebody left a trail of cheese. who can resist cheese!

Most of my characters have been male, but it’s especially true of my monks. I’ve only ever rolled (hehe) male monks.

They practice TypeOneDo. Taep-. Taekwon-

A whole day and a half without Warcraft. I am lost. Sadness consumes me.

I await the return of my desktop with eagerness.

And an Ogryn, we’re eating good

Am I alone in feeling that reveals were quite Front loaded?

Like, I thought they’d save more Shiny til later, but. Hm.

I wouldn’t know, they scheduled it to start at 5pm, aka half an hour before I had to leave work to go home, so I didn’t watch it.

Then I got home and my internet was down for 2 hours so I definitely missed the rest of it. Just caught up after the fact.

Ah, fair one

The looks are average at best, I’m more excited about prospects of having it run normally on modern computers and some updated UI and controls for longevity.

Cool.

We’ve entered the period where discord turns evil.
The cycle of Being A Company continues. never ending.

False alarm. Yay.

Yea, it’s fearmongerin’.

A sidequest took my character from Jintha’Alor through to the Alterac Mountains.

On the way, he narrowly avoided five encounters with various groups of Alliance characters, three of which were in the Hillsbrad Foothills. When I logged into an Alliance character to do a quick /who, sure enough, there were over thirty people in the Hinterlands, compared to two or three Horde-side.

It felt like I was infiltrating the Alliance heartland, not walking through Horde territory. Forsaken roleplayers have my sympathy.

Tirisfal and Silverpine are ugh to handle thanks to phasing.
Everywhere else is Alliance country due to server population u_u

A pet peeve? One very specific aspect of the Undermine, and its cosmetics and mounts.
If I, as a humble Goblin, want to maximise my Cartel loyalty and colour-coordinate as much as possible, Blizzard have decided to test my commitment to the bit.

If I want to be the yellowest little mustard eyesore on Azeroth, both mounts in the Venture Co. colours are RNG drops! One from a paragon box and one from the SCRAP activity. And so is the jetpack! But, perplexingly, the armour is easily obtained from world quests and from world drops.

Alternatively, if I want to be the REDDEST little creacher to grace Orgrimmar with all my Bilgewater pride, the shredder would cost me TWENTY FIVE of an item that I have seen, in total, perhaps five drop in all my time venturing around - and the jetpack only comes from the raid as well. Even if the armour is obtained with relative ease from PVP.

Or, to be as green as a Goblin can be without simply wearing their birthday suit - the jetpack comes from a random side-faction, and there’s no green shredder at all, just a rocket or a discount Mechagon flyer! Unless, of course, one loves polishing gunk-covered thingies from SCRAP like they’re completing quests from Gnomeregan.

Now, if I want to be the bluest little berry in the Undermine, the armour comes from quest rewards - and the shredder is easily purchased. But the jetpack is from a heroic boss, so I would be competing with however many other mooks to get my stubby fingers on it.

Woe, woe…
