[spoilers] 8.2 Rise of Azshara discussion thread

Ugh, you won’t listen and you’re just being a snarky jerk.

Fair enough. We’ll just agree to disagree.

I wouldn’t call the inclusion of fake player choices and remolding a number of lore characters to suit the narrative a better build-up. At least in MoP Garrosh was the only one who went nuts. In BFA almost all faction leaders either pulled a 180 turn or are hellbent on pleasing the Alliance because yet another big bad has appeared.

God forbid we get a 3-way war because the Big Bad of the content patch turns out to be weaker than anticipated and the AllianceVHorde animosity could keep escalating.

remember how N’zoth is the weakest old god and we already butchered C’thun, Yogg-Saron and (sort of) Y’Shaarj?

They absolutely could’ve had us go “oh he’s not that big of a deal we can still fight each other” with foreshadowed in-universe reasoning.

but oh well lmao.

Seems like the Horde leadership are refusing to deliver the will of the people.

The big bad of this expansion is the Blizzard story team, and as with every expansion, Alliance and Horde team up against it.

So Tyrande is not involved in Azshara’s defeat.

Disappointing, but hardly surprising.

This is incredibly shady/sad since Blizzard have shown in the past that according to them negativitiy=anyone who doesnt praise them to high heavens. They consider critique negative and they have shown this many times.

Meaning they will only listen to yes-sayers.

Just force a name/racechange :slight_smile:

Powerful post

And then they wonder why fan feedback is getting increasingly more toxic, and use that as their reasoning for not having to listen to it.

Its gotten to quite extreme lengths in BfA as well. The Q&A’s for/during BfA have been following the same pattern: Half of it is them saying to eachother what great story they have, and the second half is anwsering mainly questions that aren’t criticising anything.

The BFA Q&As have not been Q&As at all, they were dev vlogs.

If they actually had to do a Q&A their marketing team would need to spend a month picking out the questions that aren’t direct or veiled criticism from the sea of justified negativity.

Watching Ion in any Q&A is like watching that South Park episode where everyone drives an electric car in San Francisco and smelling their own flatulences.

Not only do they not care what the players think, this story is a literal copypaste of MoP.

I was gonna make a comment about how Blizzard is essentially a teenager writing weird Lotr fanfic on a forum, when it comes to taking criticism from others.

But that’s not fair, they are writing WoW fanfic now, with “totally original idea do not steal”.

Also, Apparantly you can’t respond like this to posts that include links unless you edit the link in your post as well. Wut forums?

The difference is we can play this song as we experience the underwater extravaganza

Christ, if I hadn’t uninstalled this game already I’d have logged on and give all my gold to someone just so I can answer that “You’re gonna quit, can I have your gold”? with a yes.
