Pet peeves: The return (Part 4)

[Stonetower-argent-dawn]

instead of brain there is only more floof

[Croecell-argent-dawn (Croecell)]

No, just floof

No brain

[Croecell-argent-dawn (Croecell)]

That little spot between his ears is for putting kisses on his head.

Because its clearly not for a brain.

I will when he wakes up. Don’t want to disturb his noisy butt ATM or I’ll never hear the end of it.

Sir wakes up and looks you dead in the eye. “Back in my day this would have never happened, this is why I miss the glory days of our Empire, ol’ chap.”

Garrosh does also have the problem of being an entirely different character depending on who is writing him (stonetalon garrosh my beloved)

I’m still so miffed about what they did to Cairne, Garrosh, just… huge chunks of WoW’s writing I’d just retcon. Cos it’s dumb and stupid, not even in a Dumb Fun way. Just proper pants on head idiocy.

We could have had Garrosh and Varian being big, dumb, awesome heroes together at Broken Shore, man. We were robbed…

[Stonetower-argent-dawn]

The mak’gora between Cairne and Garrosh not being shown in-game was a crime against storytelling

[Croecell-argent-dawn (Croecell)]

Back in his day when I was a young warthog-- I was far worse to him, nowadays, I let him be mostly.

ALL of the stuff that’s in the books not being in game is a crime. There’s so much key context for all this… -flails arms at BFA and SL and even huge chunks of Cata- THIS.

Here’s a Peeve; I used to love WC2 and WC3, and now all Warcraft does, via WoW, is make my creative brain chew the furniture because of how dog egg the writing has been for literal decades. And it’s a multi-million dollar franchise.

Publishers and Upper Managment do not derve a God Damn Thing.

The existence of do-gooders must necessitate the corollary existence of do-baders.

The implication that night elves should be winning all their conflicts simply because they are old instead of being extremely capable fighters who get blown out by new technology they aren’t prepared for is a common but wrong one. It’s exactly why Grom Hellscream got badly beaten when he fought the night elves with axes but his son cut a swathe into the area with demolishers and Bilgewater goblin explosives

Part of the fun I’ve had with roleplaying a night elf has been taking implications that follow logically from the lore but that Blizzard is doing nothing about, and making them textual.

Lintian wasn’t at Teldrassil, but she lived through the destruction of Astranaar, which was a DM’d event where Horde death knights froze the river surrounding the town, allowing demolishers to roll across and completely wipe the proverbial floor with the Sentinel defenders.

Now, as a player, I understand why night elves don’t use modern tech. To Blizzard, it’s just a question of aesthetics and marketing reasons. Night elves don’t use modern tech because that’s not their vibe. Blizzard writers don’t really care about story implications, since it’s all arbitrary and the factions are exactly as much of a threat to each other as the current writers say they are. But to Lintian, a character in the imaginary world, the need for her people to adapt to the times is a question of survival. The lesson she took from the War of Thorns is that the night elves went with bows and blades against dynamite and advanced battle magic, and paid the price.

Huge peeve; if I am mashing the ‘Get off the Stupid Horse’ button, game, I want to get off the stupid horse!!

Losing another flasks worth of HP in Elden Ring because the damn stupid game REFUSES to dismount when Im hammering the damn button is annoying.

Also, I had to stop typing this twice to slaughter the damn deer in Nokron. Stop. Squeaking. All. The damn. Time!!

[Aldru-argent-dawn (Aldru)]

ESO Scrying go brrrrrrrrrr
Who’d have thought putting the same mechanics Pokemon Diamond and Pearl and Platinum had for their digging minigame into an MMO would get me hooked

[Reioko-argent-dawn]

Mood. I grinded it out to max in a few days without realising it. Worth it though because some of the best housing decorations and most broken gear items come from it

[Aldru-argent-dawn (Aldru)]

I ended up starting it because I had A LOT of purple and yellow leads sooo, got to do it.

But bonus for me as I have a Nerevar to put in my frontyard when I get a house

[Distantpeak-argent-dawn (Distantpeak)]

How does one start it?

Off to Germania!

[Lintían-argent-dawn]

@Nerathion-argent-dawn

After all, how could a human write a character that is 10k+ years old?

Tolkien and Square Enix succeeded, so it’s not impossible. It’s just a question of caring about what you write, and Blizzard writers don’t.

@Stonetower-argent-dawn

instructions unclear, contacted Tzeentch

please send help

You’re a wizard! Also, tentacles. Enjoy(?)…

Night elves don’t use modern tech because that’s not their vibe.

But then we have the breadcrum quest leading between ashenvale and stonetalon that points out explicitly that the people saying night elves are too fancy to use guns are wrong.

They just proceeded to not use guns again after the fact. For whatever reason.

Imagine an ancient protector carrying a cannon like an oversized musket.
