I’m doing some mount achievements (got the armoured dragonhawk which I’m very happy about), will probably commit to evoker to start with - but might swap to a tank later on
There’s a lot of noise at my feet.
it appears Sir has recovered from his ordeal yesterday.

Same, bro. Same.
Game was so nice and gave us Snake 2 like 10 times in a row.
…But then everyone died to something weird, and he enraged at 50.2%

We’ve cleaned most of the fight up, Centaur 2 is still abit (I admit to not being patient always and go YEET to wall) but man… We’ve seen enrage casts at 52% no pots so >_<
We may stop raiding soon anyway, we’ve a feel one of our tanks may leave and new games coming soon. So I either PF or ask the other static I raided with to shove their questionable DNC player out and sub me in ;V (I wouldn’t do the latter, but their DNC is consistently dying and grey parsing which is big sadge at this point)
Same. Centaur 2 much the same for us, but only because we’ve seen it so rarely.
One clean run is all it will take; But there’s always some weird dodgy deaths at the end.
Soon, no doubt!

God i hate the RPD map but boy can I lose killers AND I know where the best totem to boon is (or West Wing that is and its Wesker’s Office).
Nothing like getting iri unbroken because the killer can’t pin you down long enough to hook you.
Or they just never see you the whole map even though you’re wearing the glow-in-the-dark ribcage teeshirt, glow-in-the-dark pants and have bright pink hair (Yun-Jin, I was playing boon build on Yun-Jin)
EDIT: Not going to say poor knight though, he was a camping butthat and camped my friend through all hook stages.
EDIT2: Also nothing like being a half naked sexy man with bright, glowing runes and have the Nurse in your game just either completely ignore you, or she’s blind.
Why U no love me Nurse?
She basically nearly killed all the other survivors except me who she hadn’t hooked once, I wasn’t even the obsession.

This mystic sure doesn’t look like a night elf.
So wait, the Wardens had high elves — not Highborne, but Thalassian high elves — in their prison complex all along when Tyrande came knocking? How?

Tyrande:
— assaults a prison complex established under her authority
— kills the staff just doing their jobs
— reads a tome of forbidden lore
— frees Sentinels who were imprisoned there in full armor for some reason
— frees Illidan
— refuses to elaborate further
— leaves
I love WC3 sometimes.

I have returned to a much more acceptable 20 degree C climate.
The downside, 12 hour shifts start 7pm today.
Next two months are gonna be spicey 
I do like the sheer power of
“Release Illidan.”
“I will die before I ever consider-“
“Then you will.”

I devoutly wish it’s referenced as little as possible in the future, given how lazy and on the fly it was written when dealing with a fundamental cornerstone of the setting.
They even removed the trace of having retconned stonewright’s stuff in the first place, didn’t they? It’s distressing, considering the implication that the whole disaster of the new elune lore and literal 3d printed gods was made up halfway through.

Objective laziness instead of making more night elven models. In Classic WC3 they looked like humans and used the emissary model.

Given what we know of Reforged’s development I’m inclined to say less laziness and more rush job, owing to higher up mismanagement.
That, and the lack of being dedicated resources post-launch to fix it.

Absolutely, but at the same time, this was an even bigger issue with Classic WC3 since Reforged did actually make a lot of unique models for a lot of characters and NPCs.

What’s weird is that they made unique models for every unit that appears in the editor. For example, Sylvanas and Shandris have distinct models in Reforged instead of being recolors of each other, and high elf archers are likewise not recolors of night elf archers.
But then we have these customized mission-specific units that never got distinct models, perhaps because they were customized in mission maps rather than being present in the global editor unit selection. So instead of night elves who look like human apprentice wizards (who in turn look like high elf priests with the ears and eyebrows peeled off), we have night elves looking like high elf priests, which is… an improvement, I guess.
WC3 reused assets like crazy. Illidan’s prison has a few assets from the Caverns of Stonetalon Peak, including at least two Aszune statues and some of those statues of horned swordsmen that don’t really look like night elves either.

I just think it’s funny how they stacked gate arches in the editor to pad structures of all sorts, and it carried over into WoW’s architecture like Stormwind’s gates and Stratholme and even shows up in modern cgi in the warcraft movie.

And with the exception of that mystic, an unnamed Sylvanas hero somewhere in the map according to the files in the editor, the night elves didn’t really suffer from this issue in Classic WC3. They were the exception and most of these campaign only units had custom models, including Shandris if we count her Sylvanas recolour.
Activision shooting Reforged in the head mid/early-development has to be one of the biggest dunce moments this company has ever done.

We could be waist-deep in updated First and Second War DLC for reforged by now, incorporating WoW lore and letting people experience how

Warcraft 1+2: Mass Recall is honestly all I ever wanted out of reforged. WC3 was dated but it was still perfectly playable and enjoyable in the year of our Dark Lady [Current Year].
WC1+2 not so much.

I don’t think Blizzard was a very well run company, well ever but particularly in the 2010s. Got very big ‘grew too fast’ vibes.
And yes, I’d like to play a version of Warcraft 1 where I can select more than 4 units at once and I can be sure it’ll run on my 2020s PC.
