Dude corrupted by evil/Old Gods lmao

>dude corrupted by evil/Old Gods lmao

Will Blizzard ever stop this fucking trope

Blizzard has no original ideas anymore, neither do any of the other mmo developers. Dead genre.

>blizzard
>ever original idea
xd

what if it turns out to be autism?

all blizzard has ever done is take other peoples ideas and give them wider appeal

how long until thrall is corrupted by the old gods too?

What is going to happen once everyone has been corrupted?

you realize the titans were the bad guys all along

Corrupted Jaina gives me a tingle in my dingle

BUT WHO ARE THE GOOD GUYS????????

What SHOULD have happened:
>Jaina's butthurt over no Horde dismantling, leaves the Kirin Tor
>The Karazhan nostalgia-pandering patch actually has relevance to the story since a disgusted Jaina decides she will take the powers of the Guardian of Tirisfal for herself as nobody else is to be trusted with them
>As you confront her at the end of the instance, she bypasses the Guardian ritual and siphons the power from the Forge of the Guardian
>Which is exactly what Sargeras wished for, since Jaina was carrying an imprint of Aegwynn's power in her, she was now eligible to become his avatar
>Sargeras manifests through the empowered Jaina, and spirits off to his Tomb where you must stop them

Doesn't matter at that point whether she lives or dies, because she has now actually become humbled from her insistence that she knew best, AKA a real deal character arc.

Yeah Blizzard is like an American Nintendo

>shitposter has no idea what he is talking about
Nothing new here.
She is corrupted in Hearthstone you retard, has nothing to do with the actual lore

make freeze mage great again

Except she's right you faggot, why introduce demon corruption into it
I have no idea why people think Jaina's corrupted she's just really fuckin pissed her city got nuke

Garithos

So the next expansion has been leaked to be Kul Tiras, right? Does this mean we're going to see a Jaina story of her going "dad was right"?

next expansion is azshara / kul tiras

proximity of argus causes flooding of old world zones giving way for naga invasion

see: datamined maps of flooded ungoro

She deserved it, Theramore started the war.

>Orcs wipe out 80% of humanity
>Stick em in camps to hopefully rehabilitate them
>They escape, start another war
>They flee across the ocean
>Orcs slaughter night elves for shits and giggles even after supposedly making peace with them
>Orcs start supporting genocidal rebels in Alliance lands
>Orcs fully support to finish what they started and exterminate the Draenei
>Rape an angel in your basement for good measure
>Consistently stab the Alliance in the back when they're fighting a common foe
>Start another all-out war with the Alliance
>Hey maybe we should demilitarise these people as they clearly can't be trusted?
>WOW WHAT ARE YOU A NAZI CAN'T YOU SEE THAT THE HORDE IS PEACEFUL AND ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY FOR OUR CONTINUED SURVIVAL?

so basically

>lets reusde more assets cause making new one would require creativity and effort

Nope. In WoW they're going to continue this route until every major lore character has been corrupted and killed or put into a sentinel's position.

Because (You) are the true main character of the story!

We could talk about D3 and SC2's major failures of story but there's no point. Everything and anything after TFT is just head shaking awful.

>shit ActiBlizzard character narrative

What's next, Sup Forumsirgins?
"Water is wet"?

the old gods laughed, this thread amuses them
the old gods laaaauuuuuuughed
FOREVER (and ever and ever and never)

Waitttttttt. Wait. Lmao. So WoD was truly TBC redone, Legion/Wrath and now they're redoing Cata /again/.

Jesus tap dancing christ.

Changing/adding to the world is a cool thing though.

flooded un'goro had technical reasons behind it. It's not lore related

broof?

I mean, adding to the old world really needs to happen. It's weird how much of it is still in the Cata state.

>flooded un'goro had technical reasons behind it

we really need to flood this area, is gonna increase your fps

Just like Thousand Needles did!

wtf i love thousand needles graphics now?

>she will take the powers of the Guardian of Tirisfal for herself
So why go to Karazhan? The power of the Guardian is given by the Council of Six using the Forge in the Mage class hall

I mean, you're literally the Guardian for all of 10 seconds right at the very start of the Mage campaign. Karazhan has nothing to do with it. Medivh lost the power.

>neither do any of the other mmo developers.

EHHM....Final Fantasy XIV.
The game has better written and more original story than any MMO ever will have.

>Flooded Un'goro is more likely just an error - when you cut and paste sections of the world like this the water often 'misbehaves'. Un'goro is far below sea level, it probably got automatically filled with water when they pasted the area into the instance. There are plenty of examples of instanced map areas being with or without water. One of these is a flooded Shololzar Basin in the Isle of Conquest instance.

Source: some random fuck on mmo champion, but it sounds pretty plausible

that doesn't sound unlikely, water level is fixed for most areas and un'goro is below sea level to start with

Adding yes. If they're revamping the whole leveling Azeroth leveling again, I have to ask, for what purpose? Especially when boosts exist and are given for free with an expansion purchase.

>flooded ungoro
Even quests in vanilla said Un'Goro has a variable water level and floods on occasion

This. Their entire fucking existence is due to a botched Warhammer deal. It's just a shittier and more normie friendly Warhammer.

It's not a fucking minecraft server. WoW water is not a physical entity in the game world.

>Why go to Karazhan?
It's one of the most powerful ley-line conduits on Azeroth
>It's given by the forge
Yes, the Forge was in Violet Hold before it was teleported to the Class Hall, it wouldn't be unfeasible for Jaina to have taken it first, and Karazhan would have been the best place to hide it as a site of great magical power that was also entirely neutral.

I really doubt they're doing that this time around. Perhaps just zones that actually need a bit of revamping to them, like those tied too directly to the Cataclysm or Garrosh or whatever. Zones like Silverpine Forest or Un'Goro or Tanaris or whatever need very little change.

>lol you're so strong that you've killed things that slaughter armies single-handedly, but I'm so much stronger than you you can't even damage me
>maybe if you get way stronger I'll grant you the honor of seeing a glimpse of my REAL power :^)
>*teleports behind you and slips away into the darkness*

we're talking filed to the brim thousand needles tier

Alleria willingly corrupts herself with the Void from the dead Not-Muru to become more powerful

zenos was so stupid. I was expecting a battle hardened grunt of a man, and instead we get pretty boy/ sephioth 2.0 who has trust issues and had a crush on your character. Im pretty damn sure he would have raped him, too, if he had took down the character once.

>have to play HotS if you want to experience the characters in their preserved state

what the fuck happened

>next expac we revive Garithos
>new class dark knight
>we form the True Human Alliance
>genocide elves
>expose (((dwarves)))
>use gnomes as cannon fodder
>worgens are now mounts

about time

>One Windrunner remains pure and uncorrupted
>One Windrunner goes full darkness and gloom
>One Windrunner is a weird halfway point between the two
>But they all got that human fever

It's like pottery

>True Human Alliance

I mean, that sounds nice and all, but who would even form this? Most of the human kingdoms are either dead or fully in favor of the Alliance as is.

>le corruption XD

We corrupt

Corruption itself!

thats why we need to make lordaeron great again.

Scarlet Crusade still around?

And then she goes and resurrect Arthas to try and save this shitty storyline.

Stormwind
Dalaran humans who remember being attacked by Forsaken for no reason
Theramore "Deserters"
Kul'Tiras
Stromgarde Remnants led by Trollbane, after seeing what the Horde did to his family and people
Gilnean Purebloods who didn't take the knot
Reformed Wastewander bandits and North/South Sea Freebooters

its fucked beyond repair, probably scarlet onslaught has still some of them.

Enough that you get to kill a bunch during the Priest campaign but they're still the ultra fanatical dipshits they were in WotLK

Stormgarde is full on Undead at this point and Trollbane is a death knight so don't expect them to do anything. Everyone from Gilneas took the knot or died. The only faction I can see doing anything is the old Alterac people leading the Syndicate if they aren't all dead at this point.

Wow, I can't think of anything more boring besides maybe a full Tauren expansion.

Jaina is the end goal Arthas 2.0

All the good humans left Gilneas to go and live with the Night Elves in their shitty tree. And wrong Trollbane.

>not wanting to be a total fanatic paladin
its like you hate fun.

t. butthurt elf

Not if Varian killed the Horde Leaders and it became Allaince vs Thunderbluff.

Even Wrathion knows it would have taken months to break when Orgimmar fell in a day.

>elf
Nah, Elves are deviant cucks too. I play the race that got all your lame human kingdoms "MUH"ing in the first place

>how about we add some greyness and make the bad guy understandable
>haha nah, dude old gods lmao

Too bad Nathanos got ruined

DELET THIS

Jaina is going to become the new alliance leader, mark my worlds. Then they'll use her to say that humans are evil all along while giving more sympathy points to the horde cause thats most of their fanbase.

>He seriously thinks that with Metzen's self-inserting out of the way the Horde will ever get prioritized over the Alli "BAINE CAN'T VISIT HIGHMOUNTAIN BUT YOU CAN BE SHOEHORNED INTO BEING TYRANDE'S FOOTSLAVE" ance

jokes on you fag, even if the horde is favored by blizz alliance is still stronger.
its time for your DISMANTLE

>DISMANTLE
Do you remember when Rogues had Dismantle

I do

I remember when rogues didn't have dismantle yet.

>I have no idea why people think Jaina's corrupted she's just really fuckin pissed her city got nuke

Data mined shit from the PTR literally has a map of Kul Tiras with tentacles coming out of it.

>Her heart is a crater, and we have filled it

>Her heart is a crater, and we have filled it

As in Ungoro Crater. The place where you fight Ilgynoth.

they gave him a body worthy of Windrunner pussy

what? wow has water physics or just sets a level in wich it floods shit under it ?

Those guys are like HYDRA from Marvel Comics. Basically the power levels got so high they became irrelevant. Only fit for level 30 characters and that is where it ends.

Illidan is literally going to be door-kun.

maeiv and him need to fuck already

So is like to say that blizzard is shit that can't even work on his own old game.

We just get him back and he is leaving us again.

Like shit man, people wanted a redemption story for Illidan but he has little to no solid interaction with Maiev and absolutely none with Tyrande or Malfurion.... Pretty silly really.

>BAINE CAN'T VISIT HIGHMOUNTAIN BUT YOU CAN BE SHOEHORNED INTO BEING TYRANDE'S FOOTSLAVE

I mean, if I had to be somebody's footslave I'd rather it be her.
Most of the shoes she wears are very breathable, so they probably have the least offensive smell of all the Alliance leaders.

blizzard's shit was great when you're 13 and don't know any better. But looking back, all their shit from warcraft to starcraft has never amounted to anything better than shitty fanfic ripoffs of cliche high fantasy.

R
>Rape an angel in your basement for good measure

i'm sorry, what?

Better buckle the fuck up if the rumors about next expansion are true. Expect that trope to rear its ugly head as much as fel green did in Legion.

He's probably referring to the Blood Elves keeping a captured Naaru in a basement in Silvermoon during TBC. Blood Elf paladins used it to absorb light power from it because they can't just wield it naturally like humans could.

blizzard will change the lore when they see fit, but at the moment, they are pretty much just rag tag groups as the scarlet onslaught was pretty much everything they had left.

>whitemane raised as a horseman

Varimathras taunts Alliance
Varimathras: So, your Alliance still endures. Longer than I expected, though she has already planted the seeds of its downfall. She is patient, that one.
Varimathras: When your thrones run red with betrayal... when your holy places burn and the shattered mask hangs above your hearth... only then you will know. And it will be too late.
Varimathras: It matters not. You are blind to the true darkness closing in around you.

Varimathras taunts Horde
Varimathras: So, she found me at last. Sent her underlings to finish the job.
Varimathras: Tell me, when she seized your throne of hides and bones, was your allegiance forced? No... I'd wager you surrendered it willingly... or were convinced you did.
Varimathras: It matters not. You are blind to the darkness in your midst.

>She wears full plate
I hate Blizzard for this.

same

was hoping shed be in a slut mog

>Her heart is a crater
The heart of the Azeroth titan baby you mongoloid, and the crater is Un'goro.

It's much more likely that's Sylvanas if anyone

Aw shit, meant to reply to

Jaina is evil?

Why is it always "Once-pure character corrupted by evil" and literally never "Once-evil character purified by heroes"? It's as if an evil character is legitimately unable to be made into a good one without them being erased from existence.

Do you even know who Varimathras is?

:^)

I always thought that thing was fake until a group of Paladins used him to destroy me and a few other Horde.
