You can see there is like a metal clasp where the shield attached to the shoulder, which seems to be on a sort of track to allow it to slide to the front

One of the guy's in Hallowfall mentioned finally getting a prosthetic arm prototype working but she turns him down cause she states she has already learned how to do everything in her life, including fighting, with one hand. And if she got a prosthetic now, she'd have to spend who knows how long re-learning how to do everything again.

While Metzen might love Paladins, don't forget his favourite character is Malfurion. And look how he has been treated since WC3.

My point exactly.

Its not a good argument from the guy. It makea no sense.

Ahh thanks, must have missed that.

It is nice they have a clasp there and it details that but it does just look odd at a distance.

That said, while I did envision a hardlight limb (or something else sufficiently magical), I do kinda like her not simply replacing the limb and acting as if it is just the normal limb, just not flesh.

Anduin captured again after just one expansion?

It seems that he is begging to be corrupted and killed by the mighty heroes of Azeroth...

Yea, exactly... again and so soon.

Ita a meme really at this point.

It will be honestly interesting how the naga play into Midnight, if at all.

Personally I expect elven theme (Eversong, uniting "tribes"), undead theme (Ghostlands, Sylvanas returning) and troll theme (yep, troll raid for S1), then Karesh for S2 (would be weird to make whole expac about it, but would be nice place to learn how to beat Void) and Sunwell for finale. Not sure about 4th zone, or maybe just first two will be pure Quel'Thalas like first two in TWW are about Dwarves.

I don't think whole zone dedicated to Naga fits at all, but of course I expect Azshara involvement, unless she isn't interested with working for Void (or fighting it) after Nyalotha.

Do you think she can she maneuver the shield much with her stump? Or is it just sorta there to protect her left side?

Hmm, alright, my opinion's improved a bit, they have put thought into this at least.

Interesting. Didn't expect her to have that much range of movement with it.

[ImTheMizAwesome]

I already like her more than anduin.

[Raetary]

I haven't seen much of her dialogue yet, so idk whether she has the personality of a damp noodle or if she's somewhat interesting.

But i do really like her design a lot.

that looks really good actually. even better then most shield holding animations by almost all races (only female humans have a sensible 1h+shield stance, actually.)

realistically getting hit by a large enemy (like most nerubians are) would probably do at least one of these:
1) break the hook
2) break the shoulder armor
3) destroy her shoulder
i find this design kinda dumb and impratical. getting rid of the shield and only using the other arm would have been better for her. also, doesn't she need help everytime she has to equip it?

Warcraft is known for having armor designs that wouldn't make sense irl. Like those massive and iconic shoulderpads.

[Ochinko]

Yeah, lets not appreciate the thoughts put into a character but argue logic in a game where you can shoot fire out of your hands.

[Alanar]

Completely humiliated? Bias off pls.

Its kinda true tbh.

He was blind as f for the light.

[Civciv]

Relax, they're not going to do anything to Turalyon.

If Blizzard wants to continue with this foolish nonsense that the Light is Evil, they will simply use the new Emperor of Arathor. A fresh canva, an unknown, that can be developed however way they see fit, instead of assassinating Turalyon or Yrel.

Rejoice, Turalyon is not going anywhere. Especially since Stormwind has experienced an unprecedented period of stability and peace since he took over.



Ah Yes, I am so happy, words cannot possibly express how happy I am that nothing will happen to Turalyon and there will NEVER be a Siege of Stormwind. (Instead, we'll have a Siege of Avaloren with Emperor as the final boss)

Can't wait for Alleria to go mad and kill her own husband&son.

the setting having magic doesn't justify dumb design choices unless it's explicitly stated.

again, what happens if she gets hit and the shield slips out that little hook? lol

Realtistically?

Realistically more than half of wows character roaster, including our own characters, should've accidentially killed themselves by stabbing their own skulls with their shoulderpads.

Character and armor design in this game has never and will never be designed with realism in mind.
It's all suspension of disbelief and rool of cool.

idk her design just doesn't make sense on multiple levels lol
