did blizzard fail to make azerite interesting at all

[Powerogue]

In Before The Storm they mentioned some examples:
-holding it supercharges your mind. Inventions, tactics, anything you can put your mind to.
-has shown incredible creative and destructive power. From purging poison and healing to annihilating and killing. It just depends on the input.

Basically if you can do it, azerite will improve it. There's nothing like it.

Gallywix having it is particularly concerning. Either by its ability to make him even more deviously cunning and manipulative or just him having an insanely powerful gun hiding in his cane that he could casually vaporize people with.

Since in game it's the new artifact power, I doubt we'll see anything more than maybe a cinematic where they gasp at its power, followed by no real change in game. About like the "biggest Legion invasion evar" was shown not even rivaling the previous two.

They took over literally the entire world. Every order hall campaign addressing dividing and conquering different wings of it using the artifact weapons to be strong enough to push it back. And it's pretty safe to assume while we were partying on Argus the nonstop stream of legion ships in the skybox kept Azeroth pretty busy.

I like how Blizz already made it easier to close this whole Azerite mess with Before the Storm. It’ll just stop working once the world is healed, just how Gally’s staff was activated when the sword of Sargeras plunged into the world.

nice opinion there

And we all know having a different opinion from you means there's is invalid.

So suspension of disbelief because they TOLD us it happened rather than showing us. No zones burned, nothing wrecked like the Sundering or Lordaeron, and class campaigns isolated to small zones or buildings. Still, I admire their strict scheduling of invasion efforts, very polite and tidy.

I didn't even agree or disagree, as OP's first line ("i cant help but notice it isn't compelling at all") presents their opinion as facts. So your attempt at being witty was quite out of line.

Nice attempt though. Feel free to try again.

Also, "theirs".

Seems more like a shitty excuse to start the whole Faction War nonsense. Even though, if you have half a Brain, you'd know that this is...indeed an Old God expansion.

A HUGE lack of major Male characters though, this Expac. Hell, the Animated Series BS is said to have Jaina, Azshara, and Sylvanas in each story...

NO ANDUIN! NO GENN! Like, what the fuck?! Why Azshara?! And not the High King himself?! WHY NOT NATHANOS?! You just confirmed to us that this expansion will have HUGE Old God influence. Way to ruin the moment, ya know?!

Sure, we all realized that this Expansion would end up with us fighting N'zoth. That's been a given ever since you made Sargeras stab the planet. But, still, ya wanna keep the whole Old God thing a secret?! THEN YA DON'T JUST INSTANTLY CALL OUT AZSHARA LIKE THAT! THIS EARLY INTO THE EXPANSION AS WELL!!!

"Yeah, but...Blizzcon! They confirmed that Azshara would-"

Another huge mistake that should've been kept secret for until later on in the Expansion.

Look, I don't care if you like the Expansion. I'm just not buying the Lore rn. It's so fucking confusing, and it's also so "UNMORALLY GREY", to the point as to where it feels like a Deviant Art fan fiction. It's just...why?!

Blonde bitch got an entire book too many dedicated to him already.

Not an entire book!

Closer to 70%...

[Harper]

I'm guessing you didn't read "Before the Storm?" In the book, it's shown to have a lot of strange properties and effects.

Oh well, that means we need even more insight into the dark depths of his non-toxic feminity.

Like doing anything the plot demands.


Oh god, Azerite is FLEX TAPE!

Pretty sure it was about BOTH Anduin and Sylvanas, but whatever...

OH WAIT, there's the Legion Comic...

Oh, that's not an excuse...

SINCE JAINA ALSO HAS A VISUAL COMIC!!!

Azerite's pointless, and will be forgotten by the next Expansion.

Azerite is a quintessential McGuffin - moving the plot along is kind of what it's for, from the narrative standpoint.

So was Tiberium, at least that thing was killing the planet while everyone was greedily harvesting it.

[javierdsv]

If you read the book, they describe euphoric feelings like combining meth with mdma and the clarity/lucidity of acid trips.

I can't believe they came up with a new drug after all the Fel issues we had.

Tiberium or Azerite? Azerite is itself a product of the planet dying or bleeding out while everyone is greedily harvesting it.

EXACTLY like Artifact Power...

Technically, "Azerite Power" and the substance of Azerite are two distinct things. The Heart of Azeroth talisman "eats" Azerite, thereby returning it to World-soul of Azeroth once more, and a by-product of this reaction bestows a portion of power upon the bearer of the Heart (imbuing their armor with additional abilities). The Heart of Azeroth and its associated armor slots aren't themselves Azerite. Azerite itself, the actual mineral substance being coughed up by the hemorrhaging World-soul, is more powerful in its raw form - fueling war machines, enhancing destructive magic, siege weaponry, poison, and generally being a potent source of magic in and of itself.

Ah, alrighty then. Seems as though I got the 2 mixed up. lol

[Kokolums]

Well certainly the story of the Ashbringer or Xalatath is much more interesting than Azerite.
