Blizzard moment

OK this is beyond sad. I just want to see someone go to the Blizzcon cosplay competition as a Treasure Goblin. And take of their mask to reveal a Bobby mask.

Also, this should be the NEWS for Blizzard fan sites this week. Have it share time with D4 release.

It's a shame there's no balls because we all know how Galakrond got that powerful in the first place, it even got brought up in this expansion so it's not like they forgot. If Iridikron wanted that power source they should've had us interrupt him midway through chowing down on a big heart.

I know it is too horror but I just want Iridikron to eat someone by the end of this xpac. It could be Fyrakk, it could be Alexstrasza heck it could be Vyranoth. Hopefully it would be Chromie.

If someone from Blizzard happened to see what you posted, and suggested, then it would be another year without Blizzcon LOL

Now i wonder, if Gorehowl would really drop, what kind of special weapon effect it could have?

Hopefuly not, not that i want some alliance toons wielding it or anything.

Edit: Just went to PTR and they added red eyes for grommash and it just occured to me that i won't be able to fight grommash on my main orc..

I wonder how long they will fix his chin tattoo, if they will ever fix it, guess they forgot MU Grom had his chin totally painted black, somehow the reason why Garrosh had it, but why would i expect consistency at this point.

Didn't we cleanse Gorribals corruption with our Artifacts?

you jsut reminded me that we can't get that weapon appearance, urgh, it is a dope sword.

Grom was supposed to only have a small black chin tattoo. It was supposedly quite painful and a mark of honor to have one like that, which is why Garrosh went full hog and tattooed his entire chin black.
The one Grom had only looked like a weird soul patch.

[Lolites]

Tel'Abim wouldn't really fit as a Dragon Isles patch zone. Dragon Isles feels very quintessential fantasy, whereas Tel'Abim would absolutely be an Arabian Night's styled expansion. Arabic, Egyptian, Indian influences and mythology.

im sorry, but what are you basing this on? afaik all we know of Tel'Abim is bananas grow there...

...no? It is literally, in all his artworks prior WoD, It was entirely black in the warcraft 3 cinematic and is mentioned a couple of times in the books such as rise of the horde and Lord of the clans:

He also had ritual tattoos, the most prominent of which was his lower jaw, completely tattooed in solid black

Garrosh did the same to look like Grom, and mentioned again in the Shattering:

The tattooist that worked on Grom's son Garrosh was the apprentice of Grom's tattooist, and claimed that Grom did not sweat during his tattoo session

He was also Slender for an orc, but i don't expect an entire new model for that, but at least the tattoo they should have got right, they forgetting that is asinine

It absolutely is a stretch to say it "would absolutely be that".
But if it was, it would be cool

oh that definitely would be, i would love india or arabia inspired (especialy titanic themed as uldum was egyptin themed) zone or expansion its just the jumping to certainty from nothing concrete i am protesting

Honestly not sure how well it would translatge; Titan architecture seems to be a variety of step pyramids and zigurats. It's why egyptian and mesoamerican themes have worked so well (and why I think a mesopotamian version would work great for Avaloren). Though I am unsure how much of this is Titan architecture and not repurposed Black Empire since it looks so similar.

I mean, alliance already can wield gorehowl, it just looks ancient.

If gorehowl will drop, they can do the same thing they did in TOTC - Fighting alliance champion as horde will drop horde themed weapon/cosmetic etc.

It's time, it really is for it to drop or be a quest item drop from this fight, similar to Pits of Saron Quel'delar item that will turn into a questline.

[Syegfryed]

And that is already too far, two wrongs don't make a right, being ancient looking put these people away.

I don't want another doomhammer situation going around.

Alliance get the most iconic axe in the game, from the character that decimated alliance armies and horde get some shit ass knight gear? no thanks.

I dunno, to me alliance toons having access to gorehowl is a non issue honestly and i mainly play horde.

About the other thing, i think you misunderstood me - Trial of the crusader - champions fight - You get unique horde themed items while fighting alliance champions, so it could work the same here.

Another thing like someone else mentioned, there's cross faction stuff now, so you will probably just have to queue with alliance leader.

Horde has access to plenty of iconic Alliance weapons though. Especially given the Artifact system. Scythe of Elune, Ashbringer, Silver Hand, Strom'kar, heck Ironfoe

Yeah, it's pretty much a non issue in current times, besides some people that are still on die hard "horde vs alliance" trope.

They must have changed it for WoD then. His model there only has the soul patch tattoo.
Weird choice, but whatever.

I mainly play horde as well, thats why i don't want to see humans, draeneis and night elves wielding the very weapon that killed hundreds of then.

I loathe anything related to cross faction bs

I would gadly give then away as well.

Then we're on two sides of the barricade then, i see no issue in current times with it and you do.

About cross faction, it's weird calling it "bullshit", since it allowed many people to play more freely in group content and it's better for actual health of the game.

Horde vs alliance trope is dead on retail, because it no longer makes sense.

Only if Shalamayne will drop from AU Varian.

In WoD i was a time before he got the full tattoo, in that case made sense, its fine, but they stupidly forgot the MU Grom is different, and that to me show how, probably everyone there, don't rly know much of the game pre wod, that is some lack of consistency.

People could just level another character, its only "healthy" now because the game is bleeding dry of players and there is not enough to make up for two factions.

It does make sense still, besides their tentatives of fucking it up, its only dead because they intended to kill it

Venture Company is and has always been a extreme satire of corporate greed.

If Blizzard Suits look at that and see a reflection of themselves to the point they feel offended, they should re-evaluate their lives.

Ya and what he was ding was great, not his fault the horrible suits who run the place are so thin skinned.

I don't disagree.

But when your livelihood is on the line, maybe you shouldn't make the exact same joke that has been associated specifically with your company's CEO, even if it is in character. He was clearly making a pointed reference at the expense of the top of his chain of command. Protest all he wants, he would have to be completely moronic and oblivious to not make that connection himself. Should he have lost is job over that? Of course not. Should he have been smart enough to not gamble his job on a quip? Entirely. It was a very stupid call on his part, regardless of his moral high ground in the situation.
