    If you think about it, in gameplay terms, who the warchief is doesn't make that much of a difference. The troll racial leader is still the same, it's the orc one that changes. As soon as we know who it is, that'll make a difference, albeit a small one.
    its thrall. I think that was pretty obvious..

    [Wowpedia]
    After Garrosh's capture, Thrall personally chose Vol'jin to hold the Horde together and pledged his allegiance to him, along with the remaining leaders of the faction. He also resumed his rule over the orcish clans of the Horde and the nation of Durotar.

    Not from the cinematic. He just said he'd follow him, I think wowpedia is reaching on this a tad. At least according to the lore outside of the game, Thrall is now very attached to his new duties in the Earthen Ring.

    However, if definitive confirmation on this comes from, say, his text when you speak to him after the cinematic, then yes, my bad.

    I believe that we will be seeing Vol'jin as warchief and his character development for a good while with upcoming expansions. for one the horde needs stability built back up and I think it will be awesome to see Vol'jin worthy of being the warchief and finding it out himself.

    I don't see why people are so disappointed in this. It was obvious that he was going to be the new warchief and I'm glad I happened. Things have to be changed and having a Troll as warchief is a change that needed to come to the game. If you don't like it then go alliance.

    Disapointed that blizz lied about it being someone we didn't expect.
    I quit horde and went alliance after seeing it was vol'jin who (Lets face it) has done little beyond leading a rebelion (which almost failed horribly as he wasted all his siege weapons) and dying.
    Lor'themar is likely to fade back into obsqurity.
    However i'm happy gilneas will get some love soonTM.

    You know that's what make him even more Mary-sue..., he's young, inexperience and super mega powerfull! he's a warrior, paladin, shaman, druid, priest!

    Thrall's power can, at least, be explained... we saw him when he became a warrior, and we saw his journay as a shaman, so at least, he's not unexplicable OP...

    I'm pretty satisfied with the choice of the new Warchief, tbh. Vol'jin is a great character, and while I don't mind him sitting on the Warchief's throne at all, the only complaint I have is that the finale of SoO was so very predictable.

    Vol'jin is awesome. Trolls are the best Horde race. What's not to love?

    it's a problem only in a universe where ass-kicking equals authority. which, sadly, is what the WoW-verse is.
    but in reality. a leader's ability in combat is not actually that central or important. that's what military bureaucracies are for.

    you don't seem to understand. Vol'jin is warchief, but Thrall is leader of the orcs once more. Don't equate the two together.

    He is the only one of the horde faction leaders that stood up to Garrosh from the moment he became warchief, and didn't make a ton of empty threats like the others before they got on board with Vol'jin's rebellion.

    So yeah, he's pretty much the one that truly deserved it.

    I would have loved to see Sylvanas as the leader, but honestly I don't care. I wasn't playing when they pumped Vol'jin for the role, so it was a small surprise. Anyway, where is the "I'm indifferent" option?

  12. #312
    I like it, they changed a key element, a non orc leading the horde that is rather nice and refreshing, I would love to see human dominance being broken on the Alliance side as well, could turn out quite interesting.

    Vol'jin might not even be the one to initiate things. Zul may come to him with a proposal of alligning the Zandalar with the Horde. After all, we did just decimate them in the process of taking out their buddy Lei'shen.

    Vol'jin is less a Warchief and more a Diplomatchief.

    The diference is they dont beg for aliance help everytime they have a problem..

    Also Baine has respect for anduin but he never requested anything from anduin and Lor'themar was thinking of joining the aliance because the horde at that time wasnt the horde he wanted to be part of.. Voljin also considered joining the zandalari for some time..

    And thrall wasent a aliance lover.. He never asked for help from the aliance at any point.. It was always kinda of a "oh you guys are here great this should get done faster" thrall was a good diplomat.. But voljin is nothing like that..

    Actually, yeah, it is.

    Why do people have such a hard time understanding that there are people in the community, who base so much of what they enjoy on the lore and its characters?

    Not everything in life is something you can just wash off and carry on, sometimes shit happens and people hate it. thats life.

    Or do you imagine all political voters around the world vote for the same leader, or they are perfectly happy when the one they were against gets in power?

    I hate this unwritten rule that only an Orc can be Warchief. Thrall established the Horde and he requested that Vol'Jin lead them.
    It's because people think the Orcish Horde = WoW's Horde. The leader of the orcs and some goblin mercenaries/ogres was an orc? Herp derp, big shocker. Not really relevant to the actual Horde today.

    I remember in Cataclysm everyone was begging Blizzard to make Vol'jin Warchief. Now, many people suddenly hate him....
