PTR Spoiler/Discussion Thread (Part 1)

That’s an option, but finding :skull_and_crossbones: copies of English-language books is really hard. I couldn’t even find any for the first book, so I remain blissfully unaware of its content.

…I know!

I could buy a used paper copy, that way Blizzard wouldn’t profit from it.

yes lol, he also does not understand what “plausible deniability” means because he’s too much of a savage illiterate to understand words

also gazlowe is implied to be at the very least working together with the venture co company

also rexxar intimidates gazlowe’s workers when they’re dissatisfied to get them back in line

:clown_face:

Peak Shadowlands.

I saw that

And uh, I don’t like it? Seems out of character for what we’ve seen from Gazlowe, as if it were written for Gallywix and then they just changed the name…

Kinda feels like Gazlowe being a bit racist @ Rexxar like “oh big dumb half-ogre only know about axes lol they’re so dumb!!!”

me @ this entire book

goblins poisoning the water supply in ashenvale is a funny inclusion too, i wonder if there’s any such theories in history about other people depicted as big-nosed mercantile fellows…

we hear u and we’ll do better, blizzard says, quickly slapping on a few more at best dubious tropes onto ur favs

this makes me sorry for asking for new things to be added into the game

Also I just watched this. The pseudo-random emotes being mixed together gave me such powerful KotOR1 cantina vibes:

Heigan dancing was better than this.

I was quite convinced Ve’nari was going to be a major player in the endgame of the Shadowlands; whether that was being the true 300 IQ 4D chess player, using the predictable nature of the Jailer for her own ends to escape, or break the Maw in its entirety. Her strangely encyclopedic knowledge, and being lowkey powerful enough to routinely dupe the man, seemed like she was more than met the eye.

Nope. Just the good ol’ “the heroes win again, cya for the next big baddie.”, ft. The Same Characters From The Last Three Expansions.

Cool.

i found Ve’nari and her entire kind boring. their voice acting was annoying me too

They set up either a new big bad using us for her own ends or a trickster evil all along. Making sure she’s neither, just vanishing until next time is clever writing that subverts our expectaarghl… :face_vomiting:

Some additional screencaps I stole off twitter for people who want direct quotes/etc.

The shaman doesn’t know what ‘erosion’ is.

there is so much about Zappy added that it looks as if they were planning on making him a new (like Jaina and Thrall for example) major character for the future expanssions

It’s REALLY jarring seeing, on the one hand, EW being reacted to with (joyous) shock, happiness and overall satisfaction with the narrative. And I don’t even play FF at all, so just spectating.

And then there’s WoW, and everything related to it, where everyone is, justifiably mark you, going “What the actual, ever-loving F is this…?”

Funny how there’s utter silence from the narrative devs.

This confuses me a bit. Is he unfamilar with the concept of erosion entirely, or did he simply not know the word for it?

I had a good point raised at me and I realize that at least with goblins they’re finally being consistent as writers by simply adding more antisemitic tropes to the goblins

I think it is the word they lacked, or missed.

For them it probably was just another natural process :man_shrugging:

An unquestioned fact of life.

what’s funny is that thousand needles has only had all that water since cataclysm

Also the worst change to any zone they made in Cataclysm. If they ever do another world revamp I’m curious to see how they ruin other zones.

Maybe they’ll add robots everywhere.
