Got a weird feeling about WoW these days like Marvel post-avengers end game. All the recognisable cast are “retiring” and being replaced by people not nearly as interesting.
I liked the reference to Rut'theran and do wish it was still part of the ship's name, but otherwise this is fine. I wonder if we will ever see Darnassus rebuilt. Bel'Ameth is lovely, but I'll always miss Teldrassil. And just imagine what the art team will be capable of by the time we get that far.
I'm going to be honest, I didn't know Shandris was their daughter.
All these excerpts and screenshots taken directly from the game, and the one posting the article didn't notice that the old name uses the word 'reminiscence' and not 'remembrance'? It's mostly a nothingburger since that old name no longer exists, but c'mon, pay attention!
We really need to burn down this town too.
I'm glad to see the devs rolling back and erasing the references to the idiotic "finally our people have a home" NElf story direction that they were pushing at some point during Dragonflight, as it's not only tonedeaf but also incorrect in their own lore (lore which is better represented by Tyrande and Shandris' post-story cinematic).The placement of Amirdrassil on the Dragon Isles still remains a colossal waste of dev energy and resources (if there was ever a good reason to magically restore Teldrassil and the Kaldorei to Kalimdor, it was definitely the Ardenweald-and-Elune-blessed magical life-death seed plumped up by NElf souls that can sprout into a tree in a single patch, especially considering that Kalimdor has loads of portals to the Emerald Dream where the patch took place and seeing how the Firelands incursion is also located in Northern Kalimdor), but at least there's hope.Destroying these iconic warcraft locations like Teldrassil and Darnassus is far more damaging than just NElf sentiment, it actively makes the fantasy World of Warcraft poorer for it. The Elder Scrolls' world has giant magical trees that the Bosmer live in, and the most magical of them is a wandering tree that changes location at the turn of the seasons, with each of its resting sites drawing in researchers and admirers to gawk at its splendour. Does Azeroth have a similarly awesome magical tree, rising from the sea that hosts a capital city and an entire zone with biodiversity up in its branches? Welp, not anymore! We now have a smaller tree that people have quickly built some buildings under. The new devs are making the world actively worse and sucking the wonder out of the franchise. I won't spoil the details here, but that is why the TWW opening scenario also has me worried and why the devs' comments that "it will be actually different from Teldrassil, because..." are missing the point of why preserving the unique places of Warcraft is more important than cheap shock value for the start of an expansion.
Did someone say "Hush Tyrande!" when she claimed to be a leader? 🤔
Jaina need kids! )
If this is what it takes to give cities a facelift then lets burn them all to the ground!
Will we ever get more muscular orcs who don't like humans, and fight them because of it?
we spend a lot of dev time on a place 99% of the player base wouldn't even notice if it disappeared overnight.. fine and all, but outside of roleplayers that moderately care, this zone is essentially useless, and most long time players know its just a place for you to shelve 2 lore characters that bad writing have made undesirable..
I still think it's lame that Tyrande is giving up just because they lost Teldrassil. For someone who has lived 10,000 years and lost something that only existed for 10 years, I don't really think it would matter all that much in relative terms. Her character seems very meek now.
