The Maghar orcs became an allied race of the Horde through the questline, where you go into an alternate Draenor, where Yrel has become a commander of the Army of Light and is forcefully converting orcs to join her side.
Your mission is to save the survivors from her and take them to your own reality.
In Midnight, in Arcantine, you’re given a quest to go to an alternate Draenor and defile Garrosh’s grave… And when I say grave, it seems that after this whole time, his corpse is still fresh, clasped in a fist made of rock, with no signs of decay, even though, according to the Maghar storyline, 35 years have passed. Oh, and also, the whole place is just fine! No Yrel and her army of light whatsoever!
I thought alternate timelines were supposed to dissipate and unravel if they weren’t the ‘true’ prime timeline since they’re unstable. Are they soft retconning this or was it always ambiguous?
Concerning Garrosh, maybe your sent back shortly after his duel with Thrall or is it for sure 35 years after that?
all the Iron Horde leaders are dead and gone. Also that happened 35 years ago and a new generation of Orcs grew up. Also Yrel literally helped the Draenei. Your nitpicking is tiresome.
Imagine getting the task of writing some flavour sidequests and instantly thinking of defiling the graves of a character. Doesn’t matter if it’s Garrosh or Sylvanas, they all have their fans, and that’s just rubbing it in for no reason at all. I find it hard not to see a petty and spiteful reflection of the writer’s character here, since I can’t see what else could motivate this. When it was a faction thing there was some argument for hyping up enmity within the playerbase for deeper emotional engagement, even if I didn’t find it convincing, but that’s just not applicable anymore. The spitefulness is naked for all to see, and it really is too ugly to pull that look off.
That quest could have gone to a bit more darkspear or zandalari lore or to tightening the bonds between belves and other horde races besides forsaken ._.
