Give it time my friend, but really, they should of had the 3 factions MILF was talkin about, because at the end of TFT, it was pretty much Horde vs Alliance vs Illidan, but illidan was on outland and everyone else was on azroth.
As for the races, it doesnt matter to me, although im a tad PO that the alliance can shamanize, and vice versa.
But, ive quit a long time ago, id rather keep 12 dollars a month that could be put to better use.
To quote the Blood Mage from Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne, "Hi, my name is Roy, I'm a magic addict".
Or, of course: "My blood cries out for the vengeance of my people's blood, which can only be repaid by at least twice as much blood. Or maybe three times as much blood. Like if you went to Hell, and it was full of blood, and that blood was on fire, and it was raining blood, and maybe that would be enough blood. But, probably not".
Are those the rantings of a sane race?
Anyway, I agree that they seem to be setting things back to the Horde = Bad, Alliance = Good standard. I mean, since they set the two factions at each others throat, pretty much all the "can't we just all get along" sentiment of the Horde that they built up in the Orc missions in Warcraft III has gone away. Apparently the acts of a single human (one Grand Admiral Daelin Proudmoore) was enough to convince even Thrall that humans and the entire Alliance are evil, and must be shown no mercy. Despite the number of threats that are facing both races (Arthas and the Scourge, the Black Dragonflight, Ragnaros [either of whom would have wiped out both factions by now if they weren't too busy fighting each other], the Qiraji, and now the rest of the Burning Legion in Outland), yet still they refuse to have anything to do with one another? Hell, at least the Alliance has a pretty good reason. The humans are being run by a dragon (Bolvar may be a good fighter, but he's not the brainiest guy in the Keep), the dwarves are fighting both the Dark Irons and the sudden Trogg attacks from all their archaelogical groups, the Gnomes have irradiated their entire city, and the elves are trying to fix their forests while reeling from the loss of Furion (and I still think that the new Arch-Druid was the cause of Furion's disappearance from the Emerald Dream). For the most part, they don't seem too focused on the Horde at all. Yet, when I started a Horde character, I got nothing but a bunch of "the humans cannot be trusted, yada yada yada" stuff (granted, my Horde character is nowhere near as far along as my Alliance guys, so I'm probably being unfair, but still). Personally, I loved the fact that they had to join forces in Warcraft III, and I would like to see it happen again. Except for the Battlegrounds (and, considering that both forces are facing total annihilation at the hands of several enemies, those are really stupid things to be fighting about), there is no real conflict going on between the two, but there hasn't even been an attempt at peace. I want some cross-faction quests. You can gain rep with the other faction, learn their languages, get new recipes, eventually group with them. It'd be a nice alternative for people who don't like PvP. Maybe the leaders can't keep the thousands of idiots beneath them from slaughtering each other without provocation, but that doesn't mean they shouldn't at least try to make peace.
Er, sorry, didn't mean to ramble on so much there. Oh, well, that's my thoughts on the subject.
On good thing about the expansion is that with a level cap of 70, a casual player may finally be able to join a PuG and complete a 45 minute Baron run. Those stupid quests are way too hard. >.<
My friend Delzethin is currently running a GoFundMe account to pay for some extended medical troubles he's had. He's had chronic issues and lifetime troubles that have really crippled his career opportunities, and he's trying to get enough funding to get back to a stable medical situation. If you like his content, please support his GoFundMe, or even just contribute to his Patreon.
He can really use a hand with this, and any support you can offer is appreciated.
The new level cap and quests/dungeons/instances' rewards will quickly make t0/t0.5 obsolete anyway (remember, t0 starts at level 52/53) xD So no point doing that silly Baron 45 run.
Anyway, back to the BE. Their main motivation is not evilness (regardless of the quote of the BM in TFT, since Metzen has the "Bend Lore" talent, and used it), but rather desperation. This is all the more true that the BE in TBC are not joined with Kael'thas (they seek a way to reach the Outlands and Kael'thas), and meanwhile are trying to deal with their addiction. Also, when/if you'll play the low level BE quests, you'll see there's a fairly clear distinction between the BE junkies and the BE in the Horde.![]()
And then there is Death
The game already has dwarfs. There is really no room for improvment after they developed this suppiror race.
Bipper
this game still needs bards with harps.
Dwarves and Tauren, I would note. Short of making Murlocs playable, it's hard to see improvement.
So... how/why did Kael'thas send the Naaru to Quel'thalas? What about Rommath? The objective of the Blood Elves is to meet up with their leader, Kael'thas. This might change as they actually learn about him, but if it's intended for them to have any other major objective at the start of the game, Blizz did an even [img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img]tier job than usual with the lore.
[QUOTE=Tavrobel;1867179]Blood Elves. All things red are obviously evil. Especially those who rely on large mounts.

Dra.... Dria... Draine.... DAMN!

I LIVE!!!!! AGAIN!
Depends on the source. If it's from a non-campaign unit, then it can't be taken seriously in regards to the situation of the race, thought it may have some indicative factor on the situation. Mostly, it's sattire. (E.g., Kael speech versus normal Blood Mage Hero unit post-four-clicks speech)
Also, the Blood Elves in the Horde don't show any sign of having been in contact with Kael anytime recently. This game needs more Murlocs, or perhaps, or even better yet, the Pandaren.
However, I love the new level cap. Too bad all those people who did all those runs at MC (or other ones, MC just sticks out because it was mentioned) or on battlefields (or random creep killing) at level 60 will lose all of that experience that they thought they could not get. Too bad. There's this chart on the main WoW community that you can list out all your skills and plan ahead. Assuming they don't throw anything new at us.
Ohh, damn, did I forget to wrap my response in sarcasm tags again?
You do know that we have listed the name of the new Alliance Race MUTLIPLE times over the course of this thread, all over the internet, and was released as public information several months ago? Since you don't understand that a reference to Conservatives is bad and smacking of evil, I will tell you now, that the new Alliance Race are the Wisps. Where did you get "Draenei" from? That's just silly. And sad. Foolish little newbie.
