    And like any map, it only includes what is known at the time. The most recent chart predates the 7th force being introduced, and we still don't actually know what the force even is, so mapping it would be... "difficult".

    No, it still wasn't. Pirates were a side theme at most. It wasn't even majority nautical despite being most well-known as a seafarer country.

    "Doctor" = Dr. Schrodinger. Schrodinger's Cat was supposed to be in a state of superposition (i.e. two states that would usually be exclusive at once). The implication was that temporal collapse would lead to multiple timelines happening simultaneously, even the parts that are mutually-exclusive. It didn't have any substantial effect on Azshara ("missing" a fish), but brought over Yrel ("caught" a goat).

    Please explain how a friendly pirate city would be any different aesthetically from the non-drustvar portions of Kul’Tiras.

    Bingo. Further it proved that a pirate/nautical theme is not strong enough to support an expansion.

    Two story chapters in one zone, a dungeon and a minor quest hub in another.

    Here i'll add some more:

    Betty
    Haris Pilton
    Thrall
    Jennifer O'Neal
    Anduin
    Sunflower

    And i'm sure N'zoth is gonna show up again at some point, but i'd say it would happen because of an actual lore reason and not because of a random number positioned somewhere on your screen.

    If you fail to see the link between these names when I say that N'zoth is still alive and fight ends at 2.5%, then all of this was complete waste of time.

    Have a nice evening.

    Just feels like Teriz is on the windup at this point.

    Wasn't as major but there was also that hub in Stormsong that was basically a pirate hangout, just on land, as I recall.

    Anyways I used to be on the "BfA was pirate themed" side but after time to mull it over, it was a B-plot at best (probably more C-plot, really).

    The primary theme was faction war. The secondary theme was Old Gods.

    Whilst the nautical theme played a decent part in BfA at times, to say it majorly involved pirates is just false.

    Pirates were apart of one dungeon, two chapters in one zone, a minor quest hub in one and a minor part of the War Campaign for Horde in another zone.

    This is like saying a major theme of Legion was the undead elves from Black Rook Hold and Val’sharrah.

    Not even a D-plot. Faction war, N’Zoth & Azshara, the Drust, Ghuun /w the blood trolls, Jaina becoming Lord Admiral and Rastakhan’s deal with Bwonsamdi are all higher on the totem pole than pirates in terms of BfA story threads.

    What exactly do you think a pirate is?

    Well it’s clear you think a pirate is anyone who sails a boat and wears a hat so maybe you should be asking yourself that question, Teriz.
