Thunder Totem was supposed to be the capital of Legion

[Deleted]

Not only does Thunder Totem have its own city map, it also has its own general chat. It has enough room to have all the city functionalities and is central to the Broken Isles.

Then they realized that it required work to make it a true capital, so, lazy as they are, they literally copypasted Dalaran over to the Broken Isles instead.

I don't see a question mark. I don't see anything you want to discuss. Sure you shouldn't have made a twitter post instead?

Whahahahaha, lol. Really? It was lazy to completely redo Dalaran and putting the NPCs in TT instead of Dalaran would have been more work? Thank you for making me laugh, it's a really important thing to do at least once a day.

If what you're saying is true all Thundertotem needed was the NPC's, so how is it lazier to modify Dalaran?

completely redo Dalaran

Dalaran wasn't completely redone. If it was, it would look completely different from the old Dalaran. There are minor changes there, nothing more. Yeah that's lazy, you genius.

I see the fanboi brigade has already arrived.

y....you do know the dalaran is completly remade... nothing from the old dalaran is is the new dalaran... everything is brand spanking new right...? it actually required more work to make dalaran the hub, then to make thunder totem a finished one...

thunder totem has a map and such of its own because its abit confusing to move around without one...


also whats the point of this thread? what do you want to say? discuss? or is this just trying to be another "everyone come shit on blizz"

also im glad thunder totem isnt the hub, i fucking hate it, the elevators and i dont like the look of it, think dalaran is 100 times better

omfg holy shit... this is some new level of stupid...



watch this video, and tell me ANYTHING from dalaran was copy/pasted

(and bare in mind this is alpha footage so it looks even better now)

[Low Hanging Fruit]

I know everything because I think so.

[Sting]

Obvious bait, report and move on.

[FelPlague]

lol yeah looked at their other posts

"Is that so Mr. Hitler?

Should vee throw all ze little fetuses in ze ovens, ja?

Sorry we aren't all immoral like you, some of us care about all forms of human life. "

and

"What? You have not at all shown how this is an illogical argument.


Because it's a human being? Sorry but where I live it's not ok to kill humans and we don't have to explain why."

So your logic is that Blizzard are so lazy they decided to literally quadruple their work, and redesign half the bloody game?

You're salty because.. eh, we didn't get Thunder Totem as capital and instead they had to re-do most of old Dalaran. What the fuck are you smoking?

[schwarzkopf]

Lots of caverns have their own map too

[derpkitteh]

thunder totem as the capital would have been absolutely fucking awful.

thank god, if you theory is true, they were "too lazy" in this one instance.

Good theory really, don't mind the other posters you can pretty much spot the blind fanboys right?

Anyway, It does make some sense, they'd Initially didn't think of Dalaran I'm sure, I think they changed their minds on all of that somewhere halfway through WoD when they instead went with "Grom redemption path" Instead of "We kill grom" like they said we would at blizzcon when they announced Warlords.

So It's not a bad theory, I honestly would've liked that more. At least It'd connect the zones more if Thunder Totem of all places was the staging grounds with the Clan Matriarch.. whatever her name Is would be organizing It. That's actually a better idea than just remaking Dalaran and sending It there.

I mean hell, I'm still mad they made a tower In the middle of Dalaran and removed the memories of our victory against the Lich King and to remember the fallen from that time. Doesn't that feel like a giant "F you" to players who played through Wrath and killed Arthas, and still see that monument to our victory whenever they pass Dalaran? Well can't see It anymore, It's just some random tower. I mean the Violet Citadel could've had that teleport-pad thingie! Why remove such a significant memorial of Nostalgia....

[Blakmane]

I kind of hate TT... thank the old gods they "slacked their way" to Legion Dal.

(If remaking from scratch one of the most iconic locations of the game is being lazy then the whole fucking game is a joke for this punk)

Ah yes, namecalling, someone who doesn't share your opinion is immediatly a fanboy, lovely. Very entertaining, but also a bit scary that you are (or will be) allowed to vote. Anyway, need more laughs, carry on please.

Making an assertion without providing any evidence. Are you a politician by chance?

A complete remodel/texture rework still requires roughly the same amount of work as designing a new city in practice; the only difference here is they saved time on the initial planning stages and they can use WotLK Dalaran as a reference point. And given that Thunder Totem is already completely modeled and designed, your assertion that they got lazy and just copied Dalaran is demonstrably false--if they were lazy, they wouldn't have increased their workload by rebuilding Dalaran when Thunder Totem was already feature-complete and just needed the NPCs.

Perspective isn't fanboyism, it's called not letting confirmation bias bite you in the ass.

It is a "my opinion, with misleading title to make peple click" episode.
