You know some Alliance cinematics would be cool

[Mehrunes]

To be fair, Orcs in the game are delegated to cannon fodder, so I look at these cinematics as their way of telling the orc storyline of BfA. Humans are heavily focused in the game. And cinematics won't save Night Elf storytelling.

Tbh the only way to save Night Elf storytelling is for it to stop. Whenever Blizzard writes something for them they manage to kick that race some more. At least when they are ignored things won't keep getting worse.

I wanna see some Greymane cinematics. His Worgen form is fucking FIRE. Like god damn, everything about him looks badass.

His cinematic (and in-game) Worgen form lacks the tail though. That he totally always had because it's obviously not something Golden pulled out of her ass due to not paying attention. So, in other words, that's not really Genn. As such it's impossible to say whether actual Genn's Worgen form is awesome or not.

I wish we got a cinematic focusing on Gelbin's situation. A gnome in a cinematic. Can you guys imagine it? The barbarity!

A Gnome in a cinematic like that (i.e. one that doesn't use in-game models) would be an uncanny valley abomination to be honest.

Do you think they build out the entire Stormwind Harbor for just a few seconds of background visuals in the Lost Honor cinematic? No way they did all that , there's going to be a Stormwind cinematic later for sure. Also all that work on Genn's model for just a few lines... no way.

There's a whole year left for BFA, first half is probably the Horde dealing with issues, second half... coming soon will deal with Alliance issues. I suspect Anduin / Genn / Jaina / Tyrande.

A bit late, but that makes no sense at all.

They've built a lot of landscapes just to use them for one cinematic.
Don't think we'll see another one based around Nagrand, or Undercity.

Nagrand was a simple background, probably a 2D matte painting and Undercity was the setting for the entire main BFA cinematic. Now look at 'Lost Honor'... look at the detail there. They could easily just have focused on Anduin and Genn's faces during the dialogue and saved a ton of work, it wasn't shown anywhere else.

Makes a lot of sense.

Well Horde has this whole Warchief going genocidal splitting the faction in two and going after dissidents who gather to overthrow stop the madness... AGAIN.

So just let them have it, while we wear our smug smiles looking at the pleb Horde trying to kill each other from the top of our shining towers.

Because they can't quite just copy and paste the same scene to reuse it.

And did you want a cutscene that goes "we lost so much" without showing a single loss?

How about the Alliance become an interesting faction first? It's been 14 years. Better late than never. Get to it.

I know you're ragging on her, but she did admit she was wrong. And her editor didn't catch it either.

That said, Worgen should definitely have tails as a customization option.

What's your avatar from? That's some cool as heck pixel art.

[crakerjack]

I've done my fair share of babysitting, so I know a tantrum when I see one. I'd suggest taking a nap, always works with my clients.

[Nevrex]

would love to see other characters in these cinematics. Jaina or even Tyrande and Malfurion.

It's from DOTA 2.

@Mehrunes Right you are! Thank you kindly.

I'm not really sure what's there to be smug about when the Alliance can't defeat the Horde even under those circumstances.

Clockwerk from Dota 2. One of my favorite heroes.

It's from DOTA 2.

You wizard, you.

[Mehrunes]

Do you need to revisit Ashran to realize that Horde was already starting shit back then? *Just* after losing a supposedly crippling civil war.

When you have one case of Horde starting shit and half a dozen cases of Alliance doing that, the litany about "Horde will be back to starting shit in an instant" has little to stand on.

You wizard, you.

I must admit, I completely didn't notice your user name is a reference to that character as well. Took me a minute to figure out the avatar because of that.

[Amaterasu65]

We've (The Horde) got two, you got one.
Relax.

You're acting like we've got five in a row or soemthing

Anduin, Greymane, Saurfang. If you're going to make a post atleast know your stuff.

When even the thumbnail is Saurfang in that so called Alliance cinematic, yiiiiikes. Full Alliance amirite?

Way more interesting than zug zug kill kill we are not bad we good + 2 genocide Warchief plots.

Every cinematic we have gotten so far would indicate otherwise.

The devs hate nelves, especially Tyrande, with a passion. They didn't even bother to put her boss character model into the Night Warrior scenario, that's how much they despise her. Instead they took a player model and slapped <Tyrande Whisperwind> on it.

[Jester Joe]

The title is about Saurfang.
The thumbnail is Saurfang.

The major plot of the cinematic is to explain Saurfang's actions.

I mean, if they want to argue Saurfang isn't Horde, that's another debate all together.

But whether or not Saurfang is Horde or not, it's still a Saurfang cinematic.

[Amaterasu65]

Otherwise of what? Just because Saurfang conveniently forgot his own part during the War of the Thorns doesn't mean he is an innocent misguided little butterfly and Sylvanas is the sole perpetrator. They are all to be held accountable. That said, he at least understood his filth and now sides with the "boring" Alliance. Doesn't erase his past zugzugness til that point tho.

They’ll come when the Alliance does something interesting

Uh Oh then.
