PTR Spoiler/Discussion Thread (Part 1)

A person in this thread accusing the artist of being a raging furry trying to peddle their fursona in this game, and then getting offended for being called out on their malicious tone. I don’t follow WoW people on twitter so I don’t really care what they think.

The way I interpreted it was that they went back to their more elemental roots as a result of the Titans uplifting their favourite dragon pets?

Like that proto-dragons returning to their elemental roots make them so strong they needed all Aspects to battle those four, just shows how extremely powerful even intelligent proto-dragons can become, comparable to Titanblessed Aspects even!

so i ctrl+ + f’d this very thread and the first “raging furry comment” was made indeed by the person you’re referring to. A total of one time.

The following 4 comments in which it is in are exactly that, comments.

so there was in fact nobody who was

unless you’d like to add yourself to that list, and by proxy myself now since it’s mentioned in my post.

All I see is the person said that he thinks that this artists’ bias have bled into the game and he pointed out their twitter for evidence as well as their past posts/art. I don’t see how that’s malicious or evil?

And it’s like they’re not necessarily wrong either. Devs frequently go out of their way to add things into the game that are important to them, integrity art style or narrative be damned. If Shadowlands isn’t the biggest example to you how this is absolutely and 100% the case, then I can’t help you. There are also other ones, like that employee who made a vegetarian table counter in the game cause they were upset about some guy dev eating only meat and potatoes… How petty can you be?

So how come it is malicious intent and not simply saying that if it looks like something, acts like something, sounds like something and posts about something, it probably is that something, no?

Mind you. That doesn’t mean they are right. But there’s nothing malicious about making that assumption.

that makes two of us

This is 100% gonna end badly, especially since the Emerald Dream is supposed to be a dream made up by the titan inside Azeroth or a Titanic Blueprint of how Azeroth is supposed to look without smart/evolved races like Trolls/Kaldorei/Yaungol/etc

Now, they’re about to let their Cosmic lore loose on it and its gonna be to the detriment of everyone and everything.

See above, whatever the current writers come up with… Its gonna suck 100%.

100% in favor of them including the Stormdragons of Stormheim and the Netherdragons of Outlands(which were basicly recruited as new Blue Dragons in a comic/book before). Basicly the Netherdragons acting as new blue Dragons wouldn’t be something new. Them acting as an agency alone, away from their Black Dragonflight heritage or their Blue Dragonflight recruitment would. They’re deffo more interesting since their average lifespan is 20 years or something!

This dreads me to my core, since its still the same team that brought us Warcraft: Shadowlegends… :sob:

I did the same; and I got nothing. literally nothing(which is a lie, I got the weird nothing found sound). Maybe your Alt +f4 works different then mine… But mine did not find anything unless you loaded just the right amount of posts for whatever you need? (not saying I don’t belief you, but I did try my Alt+f4 for once) :thinking:

This assumes the person does nothing but rave about their fursonas. Looking through the twitter feed of the artist who designed Dracthyr, they’re a lot more enthusiastic about Star Wars Humans, Chiss, Twi’lek, elves, and FFXIV characters. It took me a lot of scrolling to find the furry OC posted here as evidence of them peddling fursonas into WoW.

That’s a reach.

no it doesn’t. It just assumes that their background in this particular thing probably had a weight on how/why the form came out as it is.

but i thought you said:

:grey_question:

yeah i agree telaryn, it is absolutely a reach to put words into people’s mouths and tell they’re acting with malicious intent after making the assumption based on context (that they might be wrong about anyway).

ctrl + f.

yeah I looked up the artist just now to determine if they were in fact a furry and had a gander through their feed. I didn’t follow them previously, nor do I intend to start following a Blizzard employee now.

But what background? The person’s a big Star Wars fan.

We’re supposed to be taking about Primal Elemental Dragons!
Let the Twitter go you nerds.

You tell me! I only ever saw the one that the supposed individual with malicious intent posted earlier with the picture of their twitter feed and the gnoll piece?

based on that they made an observation and then an assumption. That doesn’t make them malicious.

Yeah, let’s talk about the PED’os! Wait, no-…

I just think they’re cool. Based on the interviews, it looks like they’re shaping to be the baddies and their motivation is:

dragon supremacy

not cosmic threat ending the world, they just think dragons are Better.

Then why call them a raging furry based on this conjecture if not for malicious purpose? What’s constructive about that, when the person clearly went through the effort of browsing their twitter feed and go out of their way to misconstrue their image?

That was Warlords of Draenor.

What about a second Warlords of Draenor

Please no, I haven’t been back to my garrison in years, the gardens going to be a mess.

We could’ve had that if Sylvanas had gone through a portal into an AU instead of Shadowlands.

Probably wouldn’t be getting so hard-ignored by blizz if she had lmao.
