PTR Spoiler/Discussion Thread (Part 4)

Are you subbed?

I know I ran into issues during my SL game hiatus, and it started forcing me into alts and then slowly shadow-realming my roster, until I re-subbed in DF :sweat_smile:

Same. SWP gear is still pretty timeless.

ACTUALLY Arator grew up in Silvermoon all along! And he was best friends with Lor’themar! And Liadrin!

Embarrassing writing lol

He’s ALSO friends with Kayn Sunfury

Bottom tier fanfic-level backfill going on here.

Such a main character. The one true neutral friend of everyone from the DHs to the elves that exiled them in the first place, with no questions asked, about to become the new ruler of Silvermoon that totally wouldn’t act in the interests of his Lightforged father or velf mother… damn, I can’t even laugh at it.

You mean Lor’themar ā€œI hate mongrel half elvesā€ Theron was close friends with, and trained, a half elf??

They really dont care and just do whatever. Also guess this confirms that Vereesa was exiled by Lor’themar and not living in Dalaran with her husband???

Has anyone seen Father Malgor Devidicus, the best friend of Turalyon, and the only link to Arator’s mother and father from 2007 till 2016? :slight_smile:

That’s part of the old embarassing writing though, no character can ridicule anyone based on their race/gender because if you write that you are probably an evil type of person.

Now if someone does or says something bad they’re just probably influenced by x colour cosmic power and don’t actually mean it themselves.

Why’d you think they invented the Arathi Empire/Hallowfall Expedition and made most of them half-elves lol

Is this some new lore or are we just out here inventing things again to be mad about?

At this point I can’t even tell what is a foresight and what is a baseless fear. But being a friend of so many figures of power, I can see it happen. Which sucks.

Who wrote this and where is this from?

Excerpts from the new Christie Golden novel.

I mean they’re trying to make their own elf Aragorn, I think it’s pretty obvious.

Either that or he’s going to be the new High King because I’m pretty sure the writers are bored with Anduin and don’t know what to do with him or how to resolve the plot thread of him not feeling worthy to lead (for some contrived reason). And Turalyon is a dead character walking, ā€˜cause we need something to push Alleria over the edge (again).

The reason is simple. After several wars in quick succession Anduin is a king of an all but ruined kingdom, with nobility rather used to not having a king at all, commonfolk bled out and barely making their living, the church in disarray (no archbishop since the Twilight Father, after all), and the real power of his realm belongs almost entirely to a Lightforged paladin, his Void-tainted consort and their cliques. Anduin isn’t needed, he isn’t even really wanted after seven years of absence, and he knows it, but if he abdicates officially the kingdom will either fall apart or be held together at the warframe’s gunpoint. Since neither any of this, nor reestablishing order with Varian’s methods of executions and essentially military rule would play well with his overly moral holy bones, I won’t be surprised if he simply waits for anyone to just take the throne off from him. At least, I hope that’s the intention, but at this rate I’m afraid he will just return like nothing happened and seven years without a king aren’t that much a big deal.

This actually reads like a mary sue self insert story
This is the character people actually talk about when they want to dunk on Pre-PTSD Anduin.

This reads like a 13 year olds first fanfic on Deviant Art in 2012.

Please this can’t be real.

Yeah maybe under less dogwater writers I’d buy that.

But we both know the real reason is that he’s still sad about being a death knight for 10 seconds lmao. So it’s either him returning as if nothing happened (because he finally overcame his trauma!!!) or the Arator meme happens, eitherway I’ll be very surprised if Turalyon gets to survive this expansion/Saga.

I’m really getting some heavy Windrunner and token Holy Troubled Good Boy fatigue here.

That really doesn’t sound like Kayn at all.

inb4 Arator was friends with Arthas too.
