Why Not Use The Vindicaar?

[Eggroll]

Simple reason. Vindicaar doesn't belong to the Alliance. It's a Naaru ship commanded by Velen. It's like saying - why BE don't use the Tempest Keep and bomb us.

The Draenei are part of the Alliance last I checked. These fucking cowards can go back where they came from. Nelves granted them help and shelter, what did they give back? Nothing!

[CaptainV]

What baffled me is, the Vindicaar doesnt show up during Lordaeron but a flying arcane powered ghost ship does, and basically did what the Vindicaar most likely would have done.

If the Vindicaar had been there aswell as Daelins Flagship, then Sylvanas airship woulda been shot outta the sky and everyone would have ended this now.

Because T-Pain told his bottom b#%$@, Jaina, to let him use it for the video of his next hit, "I'm on a Space Boat feat. T-swizzle".

Maybe the weapon matrix burned out blasting its way through the door to Kin-garoth.

From a story perspective it makes sense to keep a mega death laser out of the story but it would be nice if they touched on why its not there ingame.

That, Sargeras in the cutscene or it just running errants to the now disconnected places in the cosmos to rescue stragglers would have sufficed. All they needed was a little line of dialog when talking to velen. Instead you have teleporter platform in stormwind that suggests you can just beam up there and visit "home" whenever you like.

- Well sylvanas used it. Problem most of the other horde races don't really like blight either, kind of a hard sell.

eh, its not like she cared much what other races like... and im pretty sure if she blighted places like elwyn forest and stormwind (alliance teritories far from horde teritories) it would lead the war to end with horde victorious, which not many would object, and even if they did they would be completely overheard bcs of the victory cries of sheep-like soldiers, as nothing makes horde warchief more popular than wining against alliance

Last one is actually very valid. The existance of magic would alter combat way more than most writers are capable of grasping. Villy-nilly teleporting around the place should be a big NO in your fantasy setting and only work under certain circumstances, otherwise you just create plotholes like here.

yeah, portals in warcraft always seems rather inconsistent to me lorewise, i see no problem in bombing targets via portals - it would only take seconds needed to get bomb through, and you could make the portal on shorter distance - yet sfor some reason they are never used that way

Okay so why can't the alliance use the vindicaar to space destroy the horde? At that destroy the Banshee Queen from space. We have a space ship so use it! If we used it the horde would be like we sorry bro.

Most likely due to the leadership and advice of Velen and the Lightforged leader to not use it as it would upset the balance? All it takes it for more sides to use superweapons and the war would be a mess.

Yes, blight was used, Arcane Enhanced Battleship was used but if the Vindicaar came into play, then I have a feeling that a certain cannon would as well be utilized.

[Draenox]

its the Captain Marvel syndrome, its too overpowered for the current story context so it has to be left out of the story to not make everything a lopsided snoozefest

[Rotted]

Given the horde dropped an essential nuke on theramore, my guess would be; the alliance won't fall that low / repeat history's mistakes

[Tarba]

Because it should never had existed in the first place. And the lore has still to recover from the bullshit tbc.

[Engal]

Do not forget, the Alliance got the Vindicaar AND Dalaran. the horde can't even match those two power house. But both of those are ruled by idealistic neutral peace mongering lore figure

The Vindicaar was built by the Draenei.

It's not a Naaru ship.

[Crazozourus]

The Vindicaar was built by the Draenei.

It's not a Naaru ship.

It was build from pieces of the Naaru. I assumed that this means that it's belong to the Naaru collective. Naaru even when dismemberment is still a sentient being.

[Zuben]

Blizz should've thrown a "depleted power crystals" explanation in there. Blademaster Telaamon sacrificed himself for the assault on Dazar'Alor to succeed, when he could've just steered Vindicaar nearby and have us a good ol' orbital bombardment.

[Greengrim]

...bomb the queen and call it a day

I giggled!

Oh look, we haven't seen this topic before.

No, it was already built when X'era got blasted to bits. All they did with her pieces was make that silly forge that ultimately stopped working.

[Kyphael]

The point of the post is, Blizzard writes itself into corners all the time which produces gaping plot holes due to bad story crafting.

Because it would at best only break the roof.

Dalaran is neutral.

[Darknessvamp]

Probably because it would give the Writers free rein to come up with some excuse why Sylvanas can now just destroy it. I mean did you really want to see what happened to Bolvar happen to the Vindicaar over Orgrimmar only for Anduin to wax poetic about how they were now truly out numbered, Saurfang to challenge Mak'gora and have what happened still happen?

they only got the vindicaar, Dalaran is still focused as neutral because Khadgar kicked Jaina out early legion.
