Blizzard Trademarks "Warlords of Draenor" - WoW Expansion

[antelope591]

Sounds pretty sweet...of course theres some that will complain but if "Mists of Pandaria" didnt make u quit when it was announced then how the fuck would this lead you to quit? (directed to whiners)

[Aeluron Lightsong]

What. Did WoW playerbase suddenly shrinked to hundreds of thousands ... or did you just not read what I wrote. I didn't say I speak fo whole playerbase. Not even everyone who left. You really sound like many other nay sayers who defeind whatever Blizz does refusing any sort of critique. If you think the storytelling of Cata and Mop is great then it's your opinion. I am voicing my opinion and that is that both expansion are shit story wise. Keep being stubborn and maybe next year you will celebrate 5 million players in WoW (if Blizz is lucky).

Your wording of your statements spoke and implied that. You either backpedaled or need to word yourself better please. Again you keep calling things shit. How is Blizzard supposed to learn from their *mistakes*? I mean if I worked somewhere and my boss said it's shit. How am I going to improve?



All the while, I don't want to derail this over a criticism of a criticism. Yes Criticismception.

[Psychotrip]

Uhhh why are we going back there?

Because just like Azeroth, Draenor is an entire planet. There's bound to be tons of floating pieces or entire continents we haven't seen. Just like we keep discovering more of Azeroth and going to different continents mentioned in lore (Northrend, Pandaria, The Maelstrom, formerly cut off regions of EK and Kalimdor) there are likely countless races, cultures, conflicts, factions, cities and environments we have yet to see on Outland.

Honestly I'm excited for it. I've been wondering what's happened to Outland since BC. What are all the humans living there doing? What happened to the Old God the Arrakoa were trying to summon? Have the draenei taken back the temple of karabor? What have the non-alliance draenei been up to over there? What about the thousands of blood elves that made the pilgrimage to Outland? There are so many unanswered questions that I've been waiting to know for years and I can't wait!

As a 9 year member of the Horde, I fully expect to see Grom honor us once more - by giving us the head of his corrupted son.

Lok'tar Ogar!

Grom is dead...

Sounds like fun. Let's see what info will be shown at BlizzCon, though.

First off, "thousands of others" could mean everything from one thousand, to a million thousand and second off, if i said "many others doesnt mean the whole playerbase" then obviously im not saying Wow shrunk to the thousands.

I like how you call me stubborn when you're the bigot here who's refusing to accept or consider anything other people are saying and not listing reasons why you think the story is bad. If you only speak for your self then don't vouch for "hundreds or thousands of others." I also like how you think WoW's playerbase will decrease to zero. Wow was at it's peak in late vanilla to BC so it's easy to deny whatever dumb theory for WoW's playerbase loss you and other people may cook up and realize that WoW's playerbase is only leveling out from the massive popularity it gained before. It's not the apocalypse.

[Romanthony]

Wow so the person who everyone was laughing at and saying "fake" might of been right? How interesting, but i sure hope his idea of "Grom being the main antagonist" is wrong

If I tried to speak for everyone I would say millions ... anyway. Shit is the best I can say about it. Honestly. It's so bad it does not deserve a better word and if guys at Blizz do not see it, I don't really feel like explaining it to them. For me interesting story starts with interesting characters. Neither Garrosh, nor Deatwing (or Sha for that matter) satisfy that requirement. Garrosh, dumb berserking orc ... no fucks given. Deathwing, in the form of dumb dragon flying around ... no fucks given. Sha ... tentacle monsters that control humanoids, nice japaneese reference, but I am not japaneese to apreciate that kind of monsters.

And if we go around and back to the name of the epxansion if it is an epansion name, we get what ... warlords. Wow ... warlords, hm, warlords ... hm, Wrath of the Lich King ... I know we are talking about Lich King ... warlords ... hm, who are we talking about ?

Wow was at it's peak in WotLK. Fyi.

Who through manipulation screwed Draenor over.

[Agoonga]

Playable Ogres on Horde, no doubt about that.

Probably playable High Elves lead by Alleria on Alliance but not as likely as Ogres.

[Issalice]

And everyone was just laughing at the guy that posted it yesterday. LOL

No kidding! lol I apologize sir...or madam, if you are in fact right that is Time will tell, Blizzcon is so close now!

[Zebuthecow]

Looks like those who thought the tease of going to the Black Forest were right if this is the new expansion.

Also--- why do so many of you whine so much? I mean you obviously enjoy doing it so how can we take anything you complain about as serious?

[Frozen Death Knight]

If it is true, I honestly have no idea why Blizzard would try to do that to begin with. Grom's storyarc is done. Finished. Why bring back a character who just had his own son being the main antagonist of an entire expansion? Heck, it wouldn't even make any sense considering that Grom overcame his struggles to free himself and his people. Why ruin that by making him an enemy?

[Dethekk]

Like someone pointed out in this thread already, I bet it is the new name for the "Blizzard All-Stars", since the conflict. Even the name sounds similar "Warlords of Draenor" compared to "Heroes of the Storm"

Illidan was in prison until Warcraft 3. Pre-Outland Draenor is during or before Warcraft 2.

WOOOSH!

You must of ducked.

How many wow players do you expect know what Dreanor means ... Warlords of Dreanor reads like [Leader mob] of [Something]. When I compare it to Wrath of the Lich King ... which reads as [Wrath] of the [Lich King], kind of self explanatory. I mean, going back to legion is great ... ppl who expect Blizz to pull out their A game, does not look like it so far ... but untill the expansion hits we can only be surprised (in a good way). So that's something to look forward to.

[majesta]

If this is true it doesn't mean we are going back to Outland. Maybe just a visit, but that is all. Draenor was torn apart when Ner'zhul attempted to allow the remaining orcs on Draenor to escape to other worlds by opening other dimensional portals. I would think that we are going to start going to other worlds and any remaining fragments of Draenor that are floating in the nether. The big question is what causes this?

I would like to think that one of the former orc warlords escaped to a planet controlled by the legion or they straight up conquered it in the name of the legion. The legion says hey you are good at this, there is this troubled planet we just can't seem to get called Azeroth. Go kick its ass. Here comes us recovering from a supposedly brutal global war and a cataclysm now having to unite both factions once and for all against the real ultimate threat, the Burning Legion. I expect to see massive expansion on Draenei, Blood Elf, High Elf, Pre-Azeroth Orc, and missing Alliance Heroes lore.

nonsense, the blizz moba is supposed to involve heroes from all blizz franchises. to call the game WoD doesn't fit at all

Because if people have been following WoW since BC. They should know what Draenor is.

"Warlords of Draenor"

Yep, time-traveling. Otherwise I'd be pissed at Blizzard giving the Outlands the "revamp" treatment.
