    Yeap... I don't trust the writers much, but it would be hilarious if Tyrande committed genocide. Imagine the 180.

    "It was justified!"
    "Vengeance!"
    "LoL Suck it Horde players!"... One could make a Bingo game out of it, because humans gon' human, even if they did pick the "good" faction in a PC game.

    Which is kinda ironic considering Ardenweald continues Vol'jin's storyline
    This world don't give us nothing. It be our lot to suffer... and our duty to fight back.

    The actual kiddies here are Horde players who enjoy being the bad guy until they get to pay for it in the story. I know a group of Horde players who enjoyed every bit of what they did under Sylvanas and then complained about how mean Turalyon and Alleria were to interrogate civilians.

    Players cannot control what the writers do with the factions, but they can choose what entertains them and what doesn't.

    You might agree or disagree with me, but turning my statement around and trying to call me and others a kid without elaboration? That's kinda cheap.

    You got some examples of that? cause that seems like a major major stretch.

    last time i looked up some numbers, stratholme alone had more deaths than teldrassil, and that was BEFORE the scourge got into gears and wiped out many more cities.

    The demons ruined huge swaths of land too. and in wc3 it's heavily implied they went on a merry kiling spree across eastern kingdoms too (but you never hear anything about that, i should really look up how that went sometime).

    Nzoth if you count stuff like deathwing also had had some quite permanent effects on the planet.

    meanwhile what has the horde done besides some deforestation and by and large (for warcraft) conventional warfare? The worst they have done was probably that time they burned down stormwind.

    (though i guess you can do a technicallity and say the current alliance didn't exist until after the 3rd war, but then using the scourge and burning legion as an example is unfair by the same logic)

    Yes, because ya'll have statistics on this matter, and are not just blanketing every Horde player based on emotions.

    Sorry, but my point stands. Whining for strangers to face punishment in a game because writers decided that their faction should be the aggressor in every "faction" war, and pre-dismiss any horde player that might disagree by throwing in the "kid"-word, is childish. That's all the elaboration required for this insipid topic.

    And if people are entertained by what goes on, that's their right. It's.A.Game. One could think we were discussing ISIS-tourism here... Then again, I did get called a "literal Nazi" by Alliance players in a previous thread for admitting that I wouldn't switch my main to Alliance after Teldrassil...

    Sorry but utter bullshit, believable conflict does not work that way, which is what blizz should strive for not the whining of players invested in alliance and horde. Meaning establishing functioning geopolitical spheres and conflicts, far more political factions ,different interests, political intrigues civil unrest the use of mercenary armies, many more settlements etc.

    In essence start to properly build up their world
    Then in that case Blizzard should have done a serious Azeroth built up instead of the faction war. Since they however did the faction war villainizing one of the factions they might as well have procceeded with serious consequences instead of doing a shitty job.

    It's the exact same line of events for an Alliance player. That said, Ardenweald's job is to care for the souls of the dead. Nature itself is perfectly neutral it cares nothing for the living nor the dead, it just is.

    I can imagine that someone like Tyrande would be majorly pissed though as the burning of Teldrassil killed her friends in a genocidal, "I was just following orders."

    Who would've thought that turning a playable faction into the Bad Guys, twice, with little to no chance at negative repercussions in a MMORPG, would be a bad idea.

    Keep chilling for subpar writting and storytelling. Slay, Queen Golden, slaaaay. Slay, Simp King Danuser, slaaay.

    The ones to blame, of course, are the Horde players. They fucking burned the tree down!

    Sadly most of your faction fans enjoyed that sooo... Yeah, kinda shared guilt that falls on the horde in general.
    Wow....someone can't distinguish reality from a game. So go ahead...have the alliance do this to the horde. Make you feel better? Make you the "righteous" faction? No....not in the least. Horde forever here...always was always will be......but it's just a GAME.

    Hey they tried their hardest!
    Since all souls are going to the maw they have very little funds for their play, and all the good actors have gone to revendreth...
    They are trying their best ok?

    Reminds me of the episode I watched of The Boys.
    Literally had Remy from Ratatouille play a weird, disgusting part...

    People underestimate just how varied a job voice acting can be.

    Those are utterly unrealistic consequences, the Alliance is in absolutely no position to enforce something like this. What it should try is to break the horde apart and build relations with the nations they can reason with, increasing their overall global power position as a consequence, so that they are in a position to subdue the elements that do pose a threat to them.

    Tbf, Anno 1800 has a more realistic take on building relations, warfare and politics than World of WARcraft, does at this point...

    Would be so amazing if they went down the route you've brought up in this thread, but also too complex I'm guessing.

    I prefered that play in Overlord, where dead elves were forced to watch a terrible play in which dwarves destroyed their forest over and over and over again.

  19. #59
    I wouldn't say they are that unrealistic considering you described a way of how that can happen. In any case only Blizzard knows if the Alliance is able to enforce all these or not. Not you or I. The fact remains that if they wanted faction wars they should have brought up actual consequences.

    More damage than the Scourge and Legion is, as I'm sure you understand after thinking about it, quite absurd as well. The Horde being on Azeroth to begin with is a product of the Legion. The original leader of the Scourge was the spirit of one of the members of the original Horde twisted by the Legion. So not only does it not make much sense to say the Horde has done more damage than the Legion, when the damage done by the Horde is a result of the Legion's actions to begin with, but it's not correct at all because the Legion and Scourge have caused more harm than the Horde has by a long shot.

    I do agree though, it would be nice to see more consequences, whether they are good or bad.

    Over all horde seems pretty close to the scourge but not even close to the legion, It’s also very likely I’m forgetting a ton of stuff.

    The horde as of wow has,
    Plagued lorderon.
    Plagued south shore.
    Blown up a school of Druids in stone talon.
    Burned down teldrasila.
    Plagued dark shore.
    Destroyed the vale of eternal blossoms.
    Bombed thereamore.
    Plagued various area’s in northrend.

    The scourge going back to WC3 has. Destroyed lorderon/plague lands.
    Destroyed the ghost lands.
    Cause the dead scar.
    Tainted the sun well.
    Destroyed part of zul,drak.
    Killed most of the vykral.
    And just abunch of rampaging in northrend.

    The legion going way back but sticking just to Azeroth.
    Causes the sundering.
    Destroyed dalaran.
    Birthed the scourge.
    Destroyed nodstila.
    Corrupted the scarlet crusade.
    Destroyed fel wood.
    Desoteyed the blasted lands.
    Destroyed all kinds of things in legion.
