The latest change in 8.1 goes to show Blizzard only listens to its Horde fan base.

Don't forget that they gained an entire Zone with Azshara. That's the first time in history where the "losing" faction turns out with more land than they started with. No wonder they did it again if even a defeat in the end means a win overall.

I'm fine with Ashara, they got that as means to not starve Orgrimmar and get them the fuck out of Ashenvale, but somehow they never left it.

Inc more night elf hentai porn.

Is this not the second time you get to invade one of our largest cities? (not counting the BFA undercity scenario)

let me raid stormwind and i will be satisfied for the next two expansions.

Technically until the king is dead, Zandalar isn't part of the horde. So that's not a horde city yet. The raid brings Zandalar into the horde afterwards.

It did.
Tyrande still fails to stop anything.
Tyrande still fails to kill any named characters.
Sira, Deralyn still become Dark Rangers.

The only thing that changed was that now apparently Val'kyrs are gods who can empower people.
Night elves still being shit on.

Meanwhile the Horde got three seperate quest lines so they can choose their narrative.
Meanwhile the Alliance has no choice but to keep losing no matter what they do.

Lol yeah. Such an epic time. Lose two faction leaders /clap

No you don't, Jaina is fine and Mekkatorque becomes a mechagnome.

according to some quests plus the extra cutscene with Tyrande later it seems the Night Elves are going to win Darkshore. You can stop throwing around saltwater now.

'imagines a Tauren only Horde'

Taunka, Yongol, Tauren, Highmountain and whatever ancestor all 4 of the others spawned from.

I'd love to see a slightly less bulky mountain goat (or maybe antelope?) version of tauren as a 5th tauren offshoot but I doubt that's what their ancestors would've looked like. Oh maybe the smaller goat tauren could be rogues finally. Because goats are.. agile.. or something.

I don't even play rogues but whatever. Spice it up.

Every single post by Toho is a bitching about how hard done by our faction is, I don't think they will ever stop with the saltwater.

Mekkatorque becomes a mechagnome.

Wait until he becomes a neutral leader.
Lmao.

[Magnagarde]

Fits right in with Blizzards efforts to eliminate every strong male leader and replace them with females or spineless, effeminate weaklings like Anduin and Valen, or ineffectuals like Malfurion.

Velen being a wise old man is a classic literary figure and a millenia-old archetype.

He's truly an example that shouldn't be mistaken for characters with Anduinesque socio-political purposes.

Too bad after the Seat of Pantheon he lost his voice and is more like a statue now.

thats just the way things are friend. any night elf fans who were gonna unsub already did when teldrassil got rekt. whoever is still in is in for the long haul.

now sylvanas is different her fans are still hanging on in there thinking that theres a universe where bfa ends with saurfang being hung as a traitor. now im gonna get real here and say what we all know is true: these kids are the alt right players. now im not saying its a bad thing. you can be alt right all you want and love sylvanas for burning races to death and bringing death to her enemies civilian population centers and fighting wars on hope. the morality of it is actually irrelevant. what is relevant is that theres tons of these kids playing wow and if blizz ever teeters a little too close to bringing sylvanas to justice then thats it they will declare wow a game for liberals and hightail it out of there. thats a lot of sub money they cant afford to lose.

so you see ultimately their hands are tied. now idk how this will end up. probably sylvanas wont die or be brought to justice and get poochied away into the void and people who picked side with sylvanas will get a special sylvanas hearthstone to keep in their bags with a description that reads "ok youre stuck with saurfang and baine but the dark lady is always watching over you so play along with the millenial horde for the next 5 or so years and just pretend you like honor, i SWEAR sylvanas still loves you".

that or they will try to delay her fall until classic hits so they can try to scoop up the fleeing sylvanas fans in classic servers.

Infracted.
