Yo, picture this:

It is the Siege of Undercity, and the Horde forces are outflanked. Dranei Elekk riders are rampaging through.

And then the Goblin relief force arrives and their fighter/bombers drop the fuckhuegest bombs you can think of on the Alliance camp. Seeing their shitty tents destroyed, allies panic and easily fall victim to the Goblins' lasor gatling guns. Furthermore, the town-in-a-box technology makes an entrance, and a military base spawns out of nowhere, gunning the stragglers down as they scream.

I guess the reason why we don't see any Goblins or Gnomes in any important event whatsoever is exactly this. I mean, "I fucked these plebs in medieval gear up with my force field tanks, expansion over, go home" doesn't really make for a compelling conflict story.

a hunter without a PET is like a french not eating frogs! ^^

So... yeah, survival hunters can have a pet and very few french people actually eat frogs/snails as they're not as popular as the international cliché would want them to be. Baguette/Camembert/Any cheese would have worked better.

Because that's not biased at all.


OT: Gnomes are too small to be in cinematics.

Also I'm pretty sure magic trumps technology so as long as each side has a couple of mages or warlocks then these bombers are almost useless.

But why that though!

What if, hear me out, a rifle that SHOOTS MAGIC. Like, first fire dispel shots to bring down the sorcerer's shield, and then the gob squad go to town with headshots. They have lazor sniper rifles.

Coming from a Hordie, that's quite a complement. Thank you.

[Aeluron Lightsong]

Magic only trumps technology if it is not scarce. Magic in Warcraft however is reasonably scarce. Siege engines and explosives made by engineers can be mass produced.

Magic in Warcraft has NEVER been like that, are you kidding me? This isn't Dragon Age.

[madokbro]

So, we are looking at spells that neutralize advanced technology? That's the definition of the "a wizard did it" meme.

LAME.

I want something like the Plague of Rust in Warhammer to neutralize Jets and Tanks. That's both cheesy and cool. At least give me some cool.

[bewbew]

I believe they said the artifacts abilities were baked in the core abilities for 8.0 ! So I don't know if we'll have 100% of them, but we'll sure get most of them.

From the Beta, a few (very few) Artifact abilities became talents, not baked in core abilities. Also, no one got any of the individual traits as core class functionality.

Which makes classes feel really, really empty, as they lose the artifact skill, and on top of that it's Artifact Traits and Legendaries, both which, in many cases, were talents or class traits that got prunned (For example, Sudden Death for Warrior).

My only real worry with BfA, at the moment, is class design.

Armor reduction as a spell? That was called Faerie Fire in Warcraft III and WoW (until 6.0 removed the armor reduction, and 7.0 removed it entirely)

My only real worry with BfA, at the moment, is class design.

I'm hoping that the Heart of Azeroth traits alleviate that, by bringing back some traits known from the Artifacts, or introducing new, similar ones.

Not really no, not exactly like the actual Plague of Rust. I mean, let's first have a revelation about how the ridiculously op pieces of technology in Warcraft required some specific Titan material. Then, introduce an Old God curse that targets the said material.

Boom, mechas with shrink rays are no longer casual quest tools but the rarest weapons in Azeroth that we fight battlegrounds over.

Haha, so satisfying to see that the first link sends to my speech and not the ranking, you're the best!

[Ningjinq]

Have to wait to see what the argenite traits are like. They may have some cool effects like some of the artifact traits.
