I miss the days, when thrall was "The Warchief " of the horde.
A real charismatic leader that had horde and alliance in him, like one would say, a horde in heart and an alliance in brain.
But lately, blizzard has gutted his progression to favour other characters that are never going to be an equal match to him, just like Malfurion Stormrage.
At this point, Thrall is just there for the fan base and jaina.
So, please kill him off in a legendary style like Saurfang in the next expansion.
Edit:
So, that he will be remembered as the great warchief of the horde.
When Tyrande killed Nathanos people complained she stole their kill. Itâs hard not to diminish lore characters when the player is expected to do everything.
My whole point is that the transition from RTS to MMORPG is problematic for the storytelling. If the players are the ones to get stuff done then established characters are diminished while letting lore characters do the work diminishes the playersâ role in the story.
I never liked him anyways.
âGet More Azerite for the Dark Lady, Chris!â âYou will never Make the Dark Lady proud, Chris!â âDonât touch The Dark Ladyâs shoes, Chris!â
I felt like Stewie when Tyrande sliced off his head. âTHAAANKK YOUUUU!â
He had his moments, but in the end, he still was making us do the menial task of getting more Azerite For the Dark Lady, not even For the Horde. (Oh yah. And then there was also that âprankâ he did for Sylvannas, where he tried to get me along with other Horde and Alliance champions to drown/die in Nazjatar.)
I donât think killing characters willy nilly has the effect you seem to think.
How do you feel about Volâjin? He was a great character⌠and now? Completely ruined.
Was it worth killing him? He couldâve added so much more to the story being alive and interacting with the Zandalari. He couldâve been a mentor figure to Talanji.
Tyrion was killed off by a schmuck after stopping the Lich King. Do you think this helped his legacy? Had he stayed alive it wouldâve been interesting to have seen his reaction to the return of Turalyon and Tyr.
Killing off characters accomplishes little and is overused so much in mmoâs that players simply stop caring.
I donât agree with killing Thrall. He has a dad arc coming with Anduin and his own son. How cool would it be if he found a way to save Outland/Draenor before dying a wise oldman as orc warchief in outland?
No, letâs just kill him off.
The story needs to be better and killing off characters should be a very rare occurrence or it loses itâs impact.
FFXIV had an amazing arc from ARR to Endwalker. Everyone knows the rare time characters were killed off. They were heavy, they were memorable and they left an impact on the main characters and are referenced later in the story on sorrowful remembrance.
But well⌠i guess WoW never was the game for storytelling. Derp kill them all. Nobody cares anyways.
Only myself cant belive blizzard killed Volâjin for no reason.
Once he became Warchief on MoP end. Iâm enjoyed and he is my fave troll.
But after WoD dont much hear about him⌠Next Legion murder him early
Itâs big joke and Iâm pissed off. Blizzard dont make much story about him as he was Warchief.
I wanted hear Volâjin more story.
Legion was nearly a decade ago. Normal people get over real life deaths faster than that.
In regards to story, everyone expecting good storytelling from WoW is expecting too much. Metzen isnât the saviour many thinks he is. Just look at Thrall and Varian.
Ah yes malfurion. The most important druid and protector of the dream. And a leader of the night elves. Arguable the most important person if you were doing a patch around the emerald dreams and a new night elf home. I canât imagine blizz would ever do a patch like that and not have him front and center. As it is clearly the story his character is most appropriate fore. Nope I canât imagine they would leave him out by putting him in that shadowlands for the whole story them have him come back at the end like sup bro. Surely they wouldnât do a dirty on a character the favour like that.
The only person more forgotten about than malfurion is shadriss
Sylvanas is complex type of character thats not just good and evil, I like her. I think its one of the well writen characters in wow like thrall or gulâdan or lich king
