I'm excited for these hoping to see all out war on every front from every character lol
I think it's good for her character development for sure, but playing as Horde (and a mage) I've always LOVED Jania and felt that was okay since she pretty much was just neutral, now I'm gonna have to think of her as my enemy most likely. Sadface. : (
I concur. The Burning Legion, N'Zoth and his puppet Azshara can all wait. For now I just want straight up bloody, vengeful, all out war rife with atrocities and havoc. I want Genn to part Sylvanas' head from her neck and then crush her skull under his boot. Let's see your Valkyr help you out this time.
Rudimentary creatures of blood and flesh. You touch my mind, fumbling in ignorance, incapable of understanding.
You exist because we allow it, and you will end because we demand it.

Another good thing about that change is that we won't be hearing or reading silly comments such as "Jaina is neutral" anymore.
I will never stop hating Jaina for betraying Varian and I in the fight for the Undercity. I hope she dies in MOP. or joins the horde. I /spit on her any time I am in Theramore or run Hyjal. She's a traitor, funny how Varian never mentions it again though.
I don't know I think she was just caught in the heat of the moment, she HATES Garrosh for sure, but I know she has her rational side still tucked away, but seeing her home destroyed by that Tyrant, her people killed? I think that might make anyone fly off the hook and rage like that. Afterwards she just sounds depressed.
I like the way they're taking her, I want to see her come out of this stronger than ever.
I have eaten all the popcorn, I left none for anyone else.
Gotta say, these two Know Your Lore -bits are really well written and give a clear view from both sides of the Southern Barrens conflict.
- The Horde side
- The Alliance side
The only weird part was the writer's question of why Jaina didn't go to Baine to ask for permission for her forces to pass through and stuff. That's such a silly thing to ponder, as the Alliance reinforcements/supplies were going to aid the troops in Stonetalon/Ashenvale, therefore directly resulting in greater Horde casualties. Why does the writer think Baine would agree to something like that?
Is it me or does Jaina hair turn white?
(Do you think it's from hatred and pain? Or from using ridiculous strong spell?)
I'm just thinking back to World War 2 and the Nazi's and how they were dealt with afterwards. Ultimately, it's not just Garrosh going around killing her friends, her family, bringing open war and destroying the very peace she loves. It's Garrosh + his army + his soldiers + those who play the scenario.
So yes ultimately if I was her, I'd be pissed too.
that was an awsome read
I really loved how the Southern Barrens questing turned out
Showing two sides of the same exact events, with both side shaving their share of rights and wrongs
Though it almost seems like the author is making it seem the Alliance were building a road for the benfit of trade or something.
The road was to further Alliance war aims, and expecting the Tauren to stand by and do nothing is kinda silly

Well i understand why she is pissed.
She sacrificed her own FATHER to save the horde only to see how the horde is now destroying her home...
I think people just dont want Jaina to be consumed by her rage, until she lives and dies to satisfy her rage and revenge

She sacrificed her own father to save her home, not the Horde's
Siding with the Horde spared the people of Thermore from an angry Horde ravaging its streets in revenge
I don't think that's it at all. They seem to just like to throw around the word racist, even though she has been the least racist NPC in the game. Garrosh has just pushed her over the edge from Cataclysm to now. Why is Jaina not allowed to get angry at the slaughter of her own people? I'm sure even Thrall would be less than level headed about it.
as a hordie ive been waiting for this....seeing as i just looked at another thread that says garrosh WILL kill thrall (idk how true it is) it seems both of our previously neutral figureheads will be taken out of the war equation
again, not sure if thrall or jaina will actually die, but if they did i'd hope the players get to kill jaina :P
