The War Within Alpha - Warbands Feature Overview
MMO-Champion
I'm not a very big fan of Harrison Jones since the fiasco that was most of Uldum's quest-chain in Cata. I think the character is a fine as a send-up of Indiana Jones and all that, but I think his use should be limited to a handful of quests and definitely at a once-an-expansion kind of level (or confined to Archaeology quests, perhaps). Having him reappear multiple times in a zone, and having large set-pieces of the various "Indiana Jones" movies replicated in-game, that was just too much in my opinion.

In TBC and WotLK his presence was minimal and his quests kind of funny one-offs, and that was fine to me. In Cata it felt like he singularly ruined Uldum - turning a zone steeped in the game's history into a rail-mounted send-up of the "Indiana Jones" franchise complete with a version of the Ark of the Covenant. I found the experience to be more than a little mind-croggling. Originally Posted by Baikalsan

In all seriousness Blizz possibly knows the Indiana Jones shtick is played out and so lore wise he is doomed to teach a class of horny teens archeology in Stormwind Castle forever more!

Yes. I remember something about the Night Elf guard sporting green tentacles for heads. Originally Posted by Arrashi

I'd rather he not and his screen time go to Brann or other explorers league members that aren't just movie references. Originally Posted by Kenji87

I really enjoyed the Harrison Jones quests, the stuff with the cat-dudes was so forgettable, the usual "good guys of some race are under attack by evil or corrupted counterparts"-schtick...
But i can see how Harrison Jones' "contribution" to Uldum was a bit much for a parody-act, that sort of thing is best done more subtly.
