This is probably peak Warcraft I reckon.

However, I absolutely loved Deathwing and everything he was about. He’s one of only two Warcraft villains to genuinely look intimidating and scary, even his voice.

He was just a mean, scary, dangerous dude. His expansion was a bit meh but the character himself and his flight were inspiring to me.

Edit: thought of two more with Illidan.

  • Illidan Eyebeaming X’ira, even though Turalyon’s reaction was fanatically weird.

  • Illidan waking up again and dividing Gul’dan by zero.

Anything with WotLK cinematic music.

Otherwise anything that makes me emotional: WotLK trailer, Maraad and Varian’s death, the tuskarr funeral in DF.

Or Khadgar’s wtf face after Illidan using the keystone to teleport Argus :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

Ysera’s resurrection in Ardenweald. I know, most of Shadowlands story was kinda meh, but that moment and the whole questline leading up to it was kinda epic.

favorite moment was orc genocide by humans

When garosh became warchief that was the single best moment for me in this game
he was representing something that i love this game for and that is the constant conflict and brutal war…
Cataclysm/MoP era when it comes to lore? i adore that time

You will serve the Horde, or be crushed beneath it.

Reading one of the Knaak novels (think it was Day of the Dragon but not sure) and the way he’d describe being in the presence of Neltharion.

Cool as that moment is I really wouldn’t say they were cheering :laughing:

This. Her death and her resurrection might be the only thing that made me cry, and I rarely cry In this type of stuff.

Apart from that I really liked the blood elf heritage quest. Always wanted to live through the Invastion. Didn’t think it would be this brutal, I almost died many times as a priest haha. The light almost failed me as it almost failed Liadrin. Now I knew what she meant

Can anyone follow lore? It’s so totally convoluted and they keep introducing these weird clans and races it’s impossible to find a lore thread anywhere.

That ironically happened during BFA.
When I started playing WoW, I chose the Horde because my RL friend was playing it

But the question was always there: what would had happened if I had chosen the Alliance instead.

BFA came and with it I was indecisive if I would choose to play Alliance this time as both factions had a different story line.

This video made me shed a tear :cry:

This video made my blood boil.
I had to meet this 2 guys, their fighting looked awesome :star_struck:

I think in the end this is what attracts me on the Horde. The struggle to not fall in to darkness and all the infighting they have.
Life isn’t a straight line where you always chose the right path. Sometimes you regret things you did in the past, sometimes you hate yourself for not being that perfect role model society wants you to be, other times you hate yourself for being what everyone tells you to be instead of being yourself.

In the end I wish we had an expansion where the Alliance and the Horde have their separate stories for once, without faction conflict.
BFA could had been that.

Cheers.

Despite all the criticism, the recent story of Sylvanas is slowly growing on me in retrospect. Maybe it’s thanks to the book.
I’m not sure if it’s my favourite moment, but the cutscene with Uther is the first that came to mind. The line about “true freedom”, the way it’s delivered, never fails to send chills down my spine.
I can’t wait until we know more about how she’s doing.
