The War Within 11.X Patches & World Soul Saga Speculation Thread

[Mekkle]

Well, i mean to be fair hasn't she been living in a cave since she was like 9 or something like that? they been there 15 years so id assume they dont have all the normal things a normal Civilized place would have. but again its also a video game with giants made out of candle wax an dwarfs among other things? you guys cry about Wokeness an what not killing the game but yall are the same side of that coin not every female character has to be a disney princess or some gorgeous woman with massive calcium cannons.
I thought todays cinematic was alright.

culture war has rotted peoples brains

she was clearly made following the dei chart. nothing cool about her

i think she's pretty cool, could speak faster. am i wrong to enjoy her character?

can you not be scared of black people?

[Lady Atia]

irl? nothing
in videogames? no one wants ugly characters unless they're REALLY badass

I mean, she is still really badass, but more of a big sister type rather than the half-elfen princess she is ingame rn.

and here we go lol. now i'm a racist because i don't like dei characters

[Val the Moofia Boss]

she looks like a clone of that guild wars character

[Eeram]

i dont think you are a racist. i just think your reason for not liking her makes no sense really.
not liking her because shes a female character who you dont find attractive or badass is just kinda weird wouldn't you agree?

For the last 9 years, the American industry has been making aesthetic cringe. I love Warcraft but I'm starting to cringe. Thank you for the Asian market for releasing games like Resident Evil. No matter what beautiful characters Japan produces, Warcraft is my childhood and I will be with it until the end.

This will be my first expansion where I will skip all cinematic

I think the timbre of her voice is appropriate and the acting is solid but I just don't get the choice of slower speaking, especially given how many lines she has.

Let’s be honest, you’d see someone with characteristics of DEI as DEI no matter what. That’s all you see in them.

Ironically, people bashing DEI don’t realize it covers economic background, ergo: folks from rural communities, predominantly white.

blind
missing an arm
not attractive
girlboss
black

she's also really stupid in the story: "I don't want a functional prosthetic arm because i'm used to not have it"

I don't like her because she was made with a certain purpose in mind

I know a lot of straight guys who are crazy for older, brassy women. It's their time now.

You were literally just complaining that it featured women characters period. Especially when this expansion already predominantly features a ton of blonde, white characters: Nothing's going to make you happy, so keep your farts to yourself.

[Mekkle]

do you have proof that is true or do you have culture war brainrot?
why is the first thing you think when you see a black character not "thats a character"

not everyone in the world is white, and not everyone in the world that fights battles has zero scars, touch some fucking grass dude

I miss the times people wrote in diaries.

Azshara gain? Doubtful.

Is there even the slightest hint about azshara in tww? She sure will come back at some point, but i think we need a bit more than that one naga book from the forbidden reach that tells us she will come back. Like at least one naga in the new zones or something.

So "ugly" female characters aren't allowed to exist unless they're badass, but if they are badass that likely makes them "girlboss" so basically they just have to be hot I guess.

This is why such trains of thoughts are impossible to take seriously.

Wrathion is a beautiful character, he is black and everyone loves him. Everyone has a different concept of beauty, but the majority supports the classic vision.

you guys keep focusing on the black part while the problem with her character is the sum of her "features" and not that she's freaking black

New cinematic!

Release date ist 26th August.

This is just a recap.
Why do i have the feeling that these are snippets from the actual cinematic or several cinematics like the Saurfang Saga? There's no way they would be rendering all these characters in 3D just for them to show up for a second.

no seriously, wth happened to the wow cinematics? they all feel so boring. diablo 4 just got an amazing cinematic while wow is stuck with this low effort crap

Right?
Even their in-game engine ones are uninspiring at all. Not a bit of enthusiasm from Shadow and Fury or the Beta trailer.

Disappointing. Is this the more exciting cinematic that Metzen promised us was coming later and would make up for the Cryduin cinematic at Blizzcon?

It is also disappointing that the old cinematics were not rerendered at a higher resolution and instead just thrown into an AI upscaler.

First Shadowlands' cinematic, than Dragonflight's, and now TWW's... Blizzard cinematics used to be world class. What a shame.

It feels like they cut the budget for their cinematics. Not in terms of CGI, but storyboard. Even with Metzen on the team, the cinematics weren't uplifted.

Ugly characters (not ugly female characters) are not appealing unless they're badass. that's simple.

[Ersula]

The other problems being she's disabled? That's your problem, you don't like that she's black & disabled. The solution getting therapy. You're welcome.

Wrathion is a beautiful character, he is black and everyone loves him. Everyone has a different concept of beauty, but the majority supports the classic vision.

It's wild how you guys forgot everyone's first observation about the War Within was how predominantly featured the beautiful white characters, Anduin, Alleria, & Jaina are this expansion. You're complaining about the disabled black character momentarily obscuring your view of the beautiful people, essentially.

[Khaza-R]

Wrathion definitely isn't coded as black...

The issue is that black characters in video games face more scrunity than anything else. If she were a white woman which a russian accect I guarantee people would be saying how "badass" she is rather than focusing on why she's unrealistic or ugly.

[Mekkle]

really guy? you are the one with the list of things you don't like about the character and one of them is black.

you hating a character for having injury's is kind of shit too. maybe take some time off twitter and truth social yea?
