I honestly think the Draenei story could have been better/continued in a nicer fashion if:
At the end of WoD, as originally intended, Yrel stuck with us.
At Argus, Velen stayed behind with the broken & or died. Leaving the future of the Draenei in new hands and a new light, to find a new future with the Legion defeated.
He is really nice as a leader, donât get me wrong.
But Draenei suffers hard from the âBlizzard wont develop stuff further/new characters with the main guy still aroundâ.
This is something they are bad at normally too honestly. It takes them a really long time to begrudgingly make a new cast of characters to swap out for the old favourites.
I really like her character development in WoD honestly, and itâs sad she was left behind as she was sold to us during pre-release as a new Alliance leader/key figure.
Sheâs OK at the first patch, itâs really her fast-tracking into being an Exarch that ruined it for me but thatâs minute among the many other crushing failures of WoD.
This post was triggering my arachnophobia for a while. XD
Iâve been feeling a bit left out lately, I canât do current content because I find group content stresses me out. Iâm no where near emotionally stable enough to join a guild. Maybe some year, but even that I doubt.
But honestly, I dislike all the Fomo stuff.
Iâm having way more fun doing old content and getting the stuff, alone, but late.
Shame a lot of it gets cut.
Group content is very stressful.
Would be nice to see some. Theyâre an ancient race whoâs travelled between planets, and they get one or two mentions every decade.
If more paranoid Iâd feel like Blizzard did Argus just so they could sweep the draenei under the rug and put a pin in them⌠Then they remember that the lightforged in WoD exist.
Be nice to have main universe Yrel come into action. There was Yrelka, but she seems to have completely disappeared. Canât even find a Wowhead page on her.
I will. I might eventually slip on to an alt and use them instead. Just to avoid any connotations with that other thread that went off the rails. Just in case thereâs any bad blood between people. Typical, Iâm Maghar and I can still make bad blood! Not to mention that blog mentioning not only this characters name, but my Btag name too. Great. Sigh.
But the people on this topic seem to be super friendly. So either youâre luring me into a trap, or youâre actually friendly, which is nice.
I just hope I donât screw it up any time soon⌠I have a tendency to screw friendships up.
Mostly my alts are in my own guild. So Iâm not -too- annoyed about the blog sharing the name on my Btag, because anyone desperate enough to find out wouldâve just looked at my guild members and seen my alts. But itâs still dumb. They didnât have to.
Also⌠Seriously, I can see some mentions about Yrelka being added in 7.3, then NOTHING, thereâs some fan art, but nothing about an in game character⌠did multiple people imagine it?
Found it: Wowpedia says:
" * During the [patch 7.3.0] PTR, a [Lightforged draenei]NPC called [Yrelka] was datamined. She was renamed to simply âCommanderâ before the release of the patch and did not make it to live."
I wouldnât worry too much in the end. There are weird people, but having also had past experiences, it usually doesnât end up being much trouble in the end if you donât let it. And people here are nice and friendly
Peeves thread is generally a safe place as unsavoury people either donât come here/dismissing it as just âAD general chatâ or have been driven out from past times theyâve shown up and got dunked on by literally everyone.
I might still occasionally bring in an alt to make some comment, like my void elf to mention about hatcheries exploding. >=D
Or my Belf hunter to make a memorial thread to a lost friend. <3
I have a LOT of alts. They want attention too sometimes.
I appreciate the dunking on of hateful people. That certainly doesnât happen as much as it should. But at least it happens here.
