I liked Sylvanas as an evil-leaning morally grey character, but now they've just made her full EEEVILLLLLL and it's boring. Garrosh had potential as well but I think they went pretty overboard into making him unbelievable "because Old Gods lol".
Horde needs some evil-leaning grey characters, otherwise it would all just be dindu orcs and various other races that "look evil but we're actually the good guys".

While they were originally taught by Anzu, I don't think he's the same thing as the "shadows". Of course, they use that word in a very generic fashion, but it still seems to imply that there's some form of shadow spirits to which they listen.

I'm fine with darker characters but they shouldn't be Warchief, and they shouldn't be so blatantly evil you have to wonder how they've stayed in power. If Garrosh was still expansionist but not racist and spiteful I think he could have been fine. But, for example, the way he greets the Horde Pandaren; it's just dumb. You wonder how he had any allies at all.

Sylvanas is definitely getting there too, where it should be clear to anyone (the Forsaken most of all) that she's off her rocker.

For how much they like using it, Blizzard is really incompetent when it comes to writing corruption. At least with Arthas they had the out of saying "Frostmourne ate his soul, it's not really him". Stratholme was semi-reasonable.

But when you've got someone like Garrosh, who, prior to taking the heart, is acting entirely in a sane mind, the terrible writing is even more apparent.

This is not to say that I like there being some outside force corrupting things; I think it's a cop-out of writing villains that have actual motivations that make sense, and believe they're in the right. But Garrosh just spontaneously going full Hitler made no sense.

Oh man, KT as the new Forsaken leader would be so cool. I seriously doubt it's happen though, he was a pretty willing participant in everything the Lich King did. The Forsaken as a faction are mostly dindus from that period, minus the Val'kyr. I don't think the Horde (or anyone, really) would want to be allied with KT's slightly nicer Scourge.

'Apparently'? The Culling of Stratholme took place way before Arthas ever even touched Frostmourne. It's treated as an atrocity in universe because he locked all the doors leading out of the city and burned it down with all the innocent (but infected) citizens still inside.

He was right, but no one else was around to watch as Stratholme rotted from the inside out even as it burned, so he gets treated as the villain by history.

I hate Blizzard for what they did with Garrosh. He had so much potential, both as an up-and-coming hero and as a Hitler-type villain; and all he ended up was a nice-ish source of Yrel rapeporn
>>
>>46818407
You're under the assumption that everyone was infected, which was not the case. The grain shipments made it very widespread (basically anyone who'd eaten bread that within the past day or so), but there's no indicator that it was 100%. Arthas just had a "better safe than sorry" attitude towards it and didn't want to risk the plague spreading further- when in actuality it wasn't a plague, it was a deliberate necromancy and infected grain.

If someone died after having been infected by consuming the grain, they'd come back as undead, but it wasn't airborne or bloodborne or whatever, so getting bitten by a zombie wasn't going to turn you into one. The plague couldn't spread without the spreading of plagued grain, so a full quarantine would have done the trick.

However, hindsight is 20/20 and all that. No one really knew just how the plague operated at the time. The point being that Arthas thought he was in the right but wasn't.

In Cata, I thought we'd have Garrosh as an orc's orc- proud and strong, not willing to be cowed. Taking more for the Horde so his people wouldn't be huddled in desert canyons.

Instead, we got orc Hitler with goblin contraptions and old-god-heart-consumption. He could've been a great Warchief if they didn't go full retard on pushing faction conflict. The war in Pandaria could've just been a war for resources without Garrosh going all UBERMENSCH on us, with both sides getting bloodied noses, but uniting to try and destroy the real big bad, which should have been Lei-Shen.

I'd say pretty high. As Light can burn and blind if it's too bright, so too can Shadow offer comfort and hide from harm. It is an inherent possibility in a dualistic universe of opposites that they themselves have internal duality.

Everything is dual, everything has poles, everything has its pair of opposites. Like and unlike are the same, opposites are identical in nature, but different in degree. Extremes meet and all truths all but half truths. All paradoxes may be reconciled. Such is the cosmic truth.

Well, they fall under the wing of Anzu, the raven-god.

The Raven God was associated with shadow since defeating the blood-god/wind serpent, Sethe. Upon his death at the talons of Rukhmar (the sun god) and Anzu, Sethe delivered a curse that anything he touched would wither, die, and fall to corruption. Anzu devoured Sethe in an attempt to contain the curse, but some blood escaped his beak and landed on the ground far below, making Sethekk Hollow. In an effort to further contain the curse, Anzu fled into the realm of shadows.

Not sure where I was going with this.
I guess that the realm of shadows is ultimately hostile but if you have guidance you can still be at home there.

>>46818555
>>46818407
The purge of Stratholme was, while morally an atrocity, probably the least terrible solution to the situation, especially with the knowledge that Mal'ganis was jumping about the place. What damned Arthas wasn't that he went through with it, but that it was the first and only solution he saw, and he was so uncompromising about it that he pushed everyone who cared for him away. Uther might have been in the wrong, but Arthas never tried to show him that, he just said "kill civvies or GTFO".

>>
>>46818932
Assuming that they all ate the bread made that very day from the Andorhal grain.

Eating bread from the day before is entirely too far-fetched.

That, and the plague couldn't be spread by anything but foodstuffs. Zombie bites didn't confer undeath unless you died of bacterial infection and a necromancer was handy to raise you.
>>
>>46818176
>>46818555

The point is, arguments can be made for both sides. Arthas's choice had a logical reason behind it, he wasn't doing it to be evil or for selfish reasons; he just thought it was the right choice. And that's why Stratholme is cool, and why Arthas is a decent character.

Compare that to what they did to Kael'thas or Garrosh. Allying with the Burning Legion? Consuming an Old God heart? These are not things sensible people do for the sake of their people.
>>
>>46819073
Exactly. Arthas, like it or not, was naturally weak of character, and the Culling of Stratholme was the first moment that truly demonstrates this and is the beginning of the slippery slope. It's the beginning of the end of Arthas.

I agree, I think Blizzard is just way too afraid of moral grays. If Arthas tried to work with Uther, but Uther was just completely incapable of compromising in any way to find a solution, then it would have been better writing. But they didn't want Uther to be at fault in any way so they could set Arthas up as a villain.
>>
>>46819101
>>46819132

He wasn't consuming souls, just teleporting zombies away so he could get them around the base Arthas built just outside.

A quick blitz assassination on Mal'ganis followed by more careful purging and quarantining may have also worked (Ignoring the contrived location of Mal'ganis's altar)

Kael'thas was the embodiment of desperation. He was willing to do literally anything, even consort with demons, to give his people the power they need to survive in the presence of no Sunwell. He outright says what happened to Quel'thalas and his elves was not fair, and that everything he did was in the name of Quel'thalas. Kil'jaeden simply exploited his desperation and turned him crazy.

And then the draenei help the blood elves reignite the Sunwell anyway.

You just confirmed yourself for being an completely ignorant faggot. Bravo.

If you'd actually PLAYED THE GAME (or fuck, even gone through the Caverns of Time instance about this same fucking event), you would know that the infected grain turns infected individuals directly into undead after consumption. They don't have to die, they become infected and eventually they turn.

The time varies depending on which batch of grain you got. Arthas and Jaina personally witness several villagers turn almost immediately after consuming grain from a fresh shipment (this is in Mission 5: March of the Scourge in the Reign of Chaos human campaign).

It's not stated how long the incubation period is for Stratholme. Possibly 2-3 days to ensure maximum exposure, but if you play through the mission in Warcraft 3 or the Caverns of Time dungeon it's shown plain as day that infected individuals spontaneously transform into zombies. In fact, the main objective in Warcraft 3 is to *kill them before they turn* so Mal'Ganis can't subsume them into his army.
>>
>>46819202

But it didn't make any sense. Kael'thas had, by that point, completely betrayed his people, given that the Blood Elves are trying to take him down. And when has allying with the Burning Legion ever worked out for anyone? At least Illidan was planning on betraying them in the long-run. Kael'thas seemed to have no sort of plan whatsoever.

His actions are that of an idiot, and it sucks because in Frozen Throne he was a pretty reasonable guy. He also could have been a faction leader people really cared about.

Maybe, but the point is that it would not have been unreasonable for Uther to be unwilling to consider such a solution in any way, even if it made sense. He never struck me as much of compromiser on what he believes is right. By making Arthas just cut him off and disband his paladins it's pretty hard to be on Arthas's side.

It could have been much more gray without breaking anyone's character, is my point.
>>
>>46819248
There was also the pre-Wrath server event, where crates of infected grain appeared in the city streets for a full week. As the event proceeded on, the time from consumption to infection gets shorter until the end of the event, where eating the grain turns you into a zombie almost instantly.

>>46819248
You're missing his point, he's saying that only people who ate the grain would be infected, and it's unlikely that literally every single person in Stratholme ate the grain.

>. In fact, the main objective in Warcraft 3 is to *kill them before they turn* so Mal'Ganis can't subsume them into his army.
Depending on how much you like Micro vs Macro sometimes you just wait for them to turn because you need to manually attack them otherwise.

Sorry my wording wasn't precise enough for you. Try to keep things civil.

I should have phrased it like this: that eating plagued grain would make you fall ill and die, but the nature of your death didn't matter. If you ate some grain and got stabbed in an alley, you'd rise from the dead rather than being immune because it wasn't the plagued grain itself that killed you. Y'see what I'm getting at?

The blood elves Kael'thas didn't take with him, and that's after they find him and his forces in Netherstorm and realize "holy shit, he's gone off the deep end." Plus, as far as Kael'thas believed, he never betrayed his people. He went to the grave under the belief that "I did it all for you, for my people." Anyone who was going to impede his plans, even his own blood elves, had to be removed. He thought he was still the heart of Quel'thalas.
>>
>>46819307
And that's ridiculous because Andorhal's been pumping out shipments for only God knows how long at this point and is also the single largest agricultural center in Lorderon at that point in the lore.

Grain is the number one absolutely biggest staple in a society like Lorderan. Bread is made fresh every day and consumed and then made again the following day. A city the size of Stratholme is going to go through grain like a steam train eats coal. And guess where they get fucking all of it? Andorhal.

With a three day incubation period you're going to spread enough plague through that city to secure a near 100% infection rate just from keeping up normal consumption.
>>
>>46819353
I know nothing about Warcraft, but by all necromancy standards those two would make excellent skeletons.

In a meta sense I want to blame Blizzard's shitty writing for this more than Arthas. But yeah, bitching about writing aside, given what Arthas actually said he definitely fucked up. Purging Stratholme was the right call but there was no need to drive off Uther and Jaina by being a dick about it.

Stratholme was both an atrocity and the best solution at present to combat the Scourge. The problem is how he presented it to Uther and how he refused to hear any objections or explain himself probably. It was his way or the high way.

It is also what started to lead him down the dark path.

It would be best if Greymane did it. I would also be satisfied if the Forsaken then pulled out of Stromgarde, Hillsbrad and Andorhal and got rid of all the Val'kyr and whichever captives they had.

Nah, he sent her away when the footman told him about the undead army that was on its way. It's once she's gone that he notices the crates from Andorhal.

He actually was about to tell Uther about the true purpose of the plague outside of Stratholme, but then he noticed the signs of infection and the conversation kinda... derailed.
>>
>>46819741

I'd be totally fine with that, Greymane's a cool character with a very legitimate reason to hate her (though he's not alone in that). I want to be able to like the Forsaken again; as of late they've lost all nuance and are just evil fucks led by an evil fuck. All of my casters are Trolls now.

I hope Vol'jin dies painfully and a true Orcish Warchief claims his rightful throne.

Just to spite you, I hope the next Warchief is Gallywix, as far from an orc as you could possibly get in a Horde leader.

If this were to take place as per usual the question returns to WHO would lead the forsaken? They have no fallback characters, Sylvanas organizes her military with specialists you Have Nathanos with the Rangers, Alaric? I think his name is with the Deathstalkers, I'm not sure who leads the Cult of the Forgotten Shadow.
The forsaken don't have an "All around leader" Outside of her. Not like the Tauren who just fell back on the next of kin, or the Orcs who had Green Jesus to fall back on. The Forsaken don't have children, and they are a race with a relatively short history. The only salvation at the point of losing Sylvanas is the death and raising of some poor Alliance major player (like Wrynn...) Or The Knights of the Ebon Blade take over the faction.
>>
>>46819990

I really don't get this viewpoint. The Horde has had trolls in it since... Warcraft 2? Sure I don't think they canonically joined until Warcraft 3 but that's still a long fucking time. Orcs, Trolls and Tauren are the foundation members of the Horde. Would you have bitched about it if Cairne were Warchief?

Well why not? Warchief turned into a joke title ever since a stinking troll took it and now some dead elf bitch. At least Goblins are green.
>>
>>46820068
That's the sad part. Sylvanas and the Forsaken have done so much shit that logically they should not be ignored. But them actually suffering the consequences means they'd have nothing left.

That's why I propose seeding new Forsaken characters, and giving prominent screentime to some of the established ones, to pave the way.

Related to that, they could make a council, comprised of leaders of different parts of their society.
>>
>>46820068

If you look outside the old Lordaeron humans, there are several options. Koltira, Bolvar, etc. But if you're trying to find one of the old guard classic Forsaken, yeah, it's a pretty short list.

>>
>>46820107
The trolls in Warcraft 2 were the forest trolls of the northern Eastern Kingdoms.

The trolls seen in Warcraft 3 and onward are the Darkspear tribe; jungle trolls who were evicted from Stranglethorn Vale and then rescued from destruction at the hands of the naga by Thrall during his evacuation to Kalimdor.

>>46820107
>I really don't get this viewpoint. The Horde has had trolls in it since... Warcraft 2?

What's your point? Serving the Horde and ruling the Horde are not the same.

>Would you have bitched about it if Cairne were Warchief?

Yes, some peacenik cow man is not worthy of being Warchief.
>>
>>46820164
Lillian Voss might've been an obvious seeding if not for the fact she's not only not a leader, she also hates undead and necromancers.
>>
>>46820133

to be fair, a troll warchief is way better than an undead elf. at least a troll is still a traditional horde race, monstrous features and all.

the position of warchief has become a joke only now that a legit undead anime waifu character holds the mantle
>>
Wait, isn't Nazgrel pretty much the only relevant orc remaining that would make a proper Warchief?
Saurfang is way past his prime, Rexxar doesn't seem very interested, Thrall's a neutral party now, Eitrigg's too much of a pacifist.
>>
>>46820267
>Wait, isn't Nazgrel pretty much the only relevant orc remaining that would make a proper Warchief?

Any Orc would make a better Warchief than a Troll or some dead elf cunt.
I'd even take a peon.
>>
>>46820267
Saurfang really is the best choice. Age shouldn't be a factor, he can always retire and give the position away (or die gloriously).

Nazgrel and Eitrigg are probably the second best choices among the orcs though.
>>
>>46820267

Saurfang's still totally viable, IMO. A Warchief's job isn't primarily fighting people (and Saurfang seems to be keeping up just fine). He's got the experience and popularity. From what I've heard he's the Orc racial leader in Legion.

>Sylvanas is a waifu meme
This is the Sylvanas that stood up to Arthas in life buying at least some time for her people, the woman that played what was akin to a game of thrones lordaeron edition when Arthas was forced to Northrend and won. Sylvanas is an analytical mind and a stunning strategist, to put her at the helm of the Horde is not that big of a surprise with a missing warchief considering, the goblins would sell the horde, the orcs don't have a clear leader at the moment, Baine probably just doesn't want to. I really don't know enough about Lor'Themar to give a reason for him though but I'm sure it has something to do with Dalaran and mixed loyalties.
>>
>>46820449
Undead Garithos would be glorious (if he'd get to keep the 'stache. Forsaken beards when). Too bad he got eaten by ghouls.
>>
>>46820494

Races that can have beards >> races that can't have beards. It's a sad fact of life. Trolls might be the only exception as they're pretty great anyway, but man if we could get Vol'jin beards that'd be amazing.
>>
>>46820452

and yet every racial leader in the horde either outright dislikes her or simply doesn't trust her

>>
>>46820518
Trolls and Forsaken need beard options. And humans need more beard options. The current selection is very very limited.
>>
>>46818953
I'm aware of the general details. The Arakkoa used to hide out in the shadow realm too, and even sent Terokk into it to recover when he got too crazy. Apparently they thought it would help his mental condition, which it seemingly did in WoD. Something in that place has to be a relatively benign and non-corruptive influence, perhaps even being rather therapeutic, even if the rest wants to eat your soul.

>>46818661
I believe the shadowy powers of the Eye of Anzu were also used to stabilize the minds of the Arakkoa afflicted with the curse of Sethe, and the Auchenai use them to care for the souls that are under their protection.

Shadow powers clearly aren't entirely malevolent, but we've yet to clearly see benign shadow beings and I'd love to see how such entities would represent themselves. I rather doubt they would share the Naaru's attitude or be as safe to deal with, so I'm rather curious how that could go.

>>46820556

A big customization update with more hairstyles, beards and faces would honestly be one of the most exciting updates for me. For certain races I feel like there's only one good look so I can't make multiple of that race without them being identical.

Subraces would also be fantastic, though probably not applicable to all races. Orcs, Trolls, Tauren, and Dwarves could certainly benefit.

(Are playable Dwarves still all Ironforge or can you make Wildhammer/Dark Iron? Not an Alliance player)
>>
>>46820494
Just need the bones. Playable skeletons now.
>>
>>46820679
Only Ironforge. No Wildhammer tattoos or Dark Iron skins, sadly. There's some ashen colored skins, but they're not close enough to the Dark Iron skins.

And I agree, I'd love a big customization update. You'd think the new models would pave the way for one.
>>
>>46820376
Yes, Saurfang is sitting in Orgrimmar as the orc racial leader. The achievement to take him out in a city raid is different, too: Saurfang will humor the Alliance raiding Orgrimmar by "playing dead" when he's defeated.

I'm of the opinion that Sylvanas only got the job because she has seniority within the Horde of all presently available leaders. Consider the original three leaders of the New Horde: Thrall retired to become the World Shaman, Cairne is dead, and Vol'jin - as of Legion - is MIA. Lor'thermar, Baine and Gallywix have not been a Horde leader for as long as Sylvanas has.

Saurfang was the terror of any alliance stupid enough to use the front gate of Org.


And he was the terror of the Horde itself back when you could either Mind control him directly, or MC a horde player into attacking him.
>>

While I like the idea of returning Kel'thuzad to the plot (we didn't destroy his phylactery after all), I don't think the Forsaken would be very welcoming to him.

It makes sense she'd start with the easier targets before moving onto the bigger ones.

Taking out the remnants of the Scarlet Crusade and then the Scourge would be relatively simple, since those were both very much on the decline. However, the current Forsaken would be an entirely different matter. Lilian just isn't powerful enough to really take on the Forsaken at this point.

Think about it again, who gave Jaina the chance to drown Orgrimmar? The writers. They could have just not done that, but they decided it would be a good story.

They were about to kill him, but each faction wanted justice and so they gave him to the neutral Pandaren.

But being spiritual hermits WAS the return to the old days, the whole warrior thing was an aberration caused by demon influence. Not to mention that it's not "the crimes of their fathers" when it's almost entirely the same fucking orcs.

>>46822365
Thrall turned the Horde into a faction worth joining.
A faction that Sylvanas threw her lot in with for protection because it was worth joining.
Thrall gave the Darkspear Trolls a home. He helped the Tauren secure their own home.
He worked tirelessly to make his people GOOD in more than just the eyes of edgy babies.
Garrosh ran all of Thrall's hard work into the ground with bad writing and aggressive bullshit and led to his getting his own little Orc Horde stomped twice and him killed for good.
By now, there's no story reason for the Horde to exist at all except to satisfy little horde babies who think "wow! Garry so cool! he kill alliance and doesn't afraid of anything!"
Not to mention Alliance has enough superweapon characters who could wipe out the entire Horde singlehandedly but are stopped because the writers don't want to upset the baby fanbase.

Wow can't believe we are going through this again

See there's only 2 possibility here
Either
1: Orcs were Shamanic warrior who respect life and Garrosh trashed it, thereby making him a asshole
or
2: All Orcs are crazed Murder psychos and Garrosh just returned them to their roots, which makes all Orcs assholes.

Garrosh is an asshole either way, the real question is do you think Orc have redeemable quality, or they are all assholes like Garrosh.

Thats exacty why I dont get why they have up the underdog angle.
I loved being part of being these tribal guys who lost their way, did horrible things but now they are trying to rebuild their society and shamanistic culture again. Just a bunch of guys in the desert.

And for contrast you had the alliance, with all the ancients, demigods, naaru, 10k year old generals, 25k year old prophets,flying wizard citiy, armies, navies, air forces supported by a factory city and even a spaceship. Jaina alone could have doused orgrimmar(and very nearly did)

And then just to appease the FOR TEH HORDE XD kiddies hack authors riddick went out their way to enable the horde. They suddenly gained navies despite not having a port. The refugees of a single troll tribe and orcs who could fit on a few ships escaping now had the numbers to fight everywhere.

>>46822683

I love how WoD absolutely destroyed the favorite dindu arguement "b-b-but they drank demon blood!" It took literally one guy and a promise of power to genocide the draenei. Then they drank demon blood anyway.

Orcs slaugher women and children, for fun.

3 is something you made up that does not exist in Fluff, stop running from the fact that your race are murder psychos.

>>46823161
>Orcs slaugher women and children, for fun.

I don't recall that.

>stop running from the fact that your race are murder psychos.

They're not. But they aren't afraid to fight.
>>
>>46823204
go read a few warcraft book or play through the cata quest chain then kid.

Yes they are murder psychos
every fluff source confirms it
Stop lying to yourself, you are a murder psycho like the rest of the orcs

Fanboys in general, really.

When fans get together and use their passion for something to create great things, that's fantastic. Fan art? Super. Community projects? Wonderful. It was fans of the original StarCraft that remade the ENTIRE set of original campaigns (Brood War included) for SC2, with nothing asked for in return. There are fans remaking WC3 in the SC2 engine right now.

But when being a fan is reduced to screaming a catchphrase, buying everything with their logo on it, and giggling like an idiot every time someone says some outdated meme regarding their fandom of choice, it's not a place of value. Being a fan is of no worth in this situation.
>>
>>46823232
Well alliance fanboys would already quit WoW by the end of MoP considering how awful it went

So there's only Horde fanboys to mock these days.
>>
If one were to make a skirmishgame based on wc3, how would one go about it? Hero unit with henchmen trying to kill the other dudes townhall while defending your own?
Thinking of sculpting some trolls and nelfs.
>>
>>46822910
>It took his own daughter betraying him to stop Daeling doing it
Because without Jaina, there's no way anyone would have EVER known there were mercenary ships in the area.
>>
>>46823284
Isn't that like... well.. pretty much every wargame out there?

I really don't see the point, RTS is pretty much impossible to replicate on table.
>>
>>46823231
>go read a few warcraft book or play through the cata quest chain then kid.

I have. Garrosh's Horde kill plenty, but they're not psychopaths.
>>
>>46823330
Obviously you didn't
Silverwing. is a good example, and Astarnaar.
Also WoD

Like I said, stop lying
I hate kids who lies.
>>
>>46823366
>Silverwing. is a good example, and Astarnaar.

What's the problem? Destroying enemy positions to take their land does not make you a psychopath.

>Also WoD

Conquerors, not psychopaths.
>>
>>46823330
uhh... Did you miss the part in Siege of Orgrimmar where they had Theramore civilians fighting to the death for their entertainment, because the orcs would kill their children if they didn't?

Then there are the (un)lucky Theramore civilians that are chained to spikes and riddled with arrows.

Smiling Jim was one of them.
>>
>>46823366
Just stop. The idiot kid will never admit that his horde is a miserable pile of shit.
>>
>>46823417
Slaughtering the civilians in the position, aka murder psychopath.

Conquers who enjoy genociding civilian population, therefore psycho path.

like I said, stop lying.
Why do you HAVE to prove that every Orc lover are retarded anyway?
>>
>>46823431
>uhh... Did you miss the part in Siege of Orgrimmar where they had Theramore civilians fighting to the death for their entertainment, because the orcs would kill their children if they didn't?
Did you miss the part where Blizzard outright stated the majority of Orcs were opposed to Garrosh's campaign?
>>
>>46823431
Its called intentional blindness, pretend to be ignorant about anything that damage his narrative.
SJW loves this.

>>46823438
Call it a amusement
>>
I have a genuine question:

Do people just poorly summarise the lore in a one-sided way in order to keep grtting their kicks from having shitflinging fights about the same topics or are they actually convinced of the memetic buzzwords that they throw around?
>>
>>46823317
Just trying to bring this thread back to /tg/ territory, getting a bit sick of every thread being a mix of
>arthas/garithos/garrosh did nothing wrong
>orcs dindu nuffin
>sylvanas did sumfing
Shit aint even the interesting parts of the lore. Fuck orcs and humans, let's discuss trolls and why dey de bes
>>
>>46823431
>uhh... Did you miss the part in Siege of Orgrimmar where they had Theramore civilians fighting to the death for their entertainment

Nope. Such events does not make one a psychopath. Were the Romans psychopaths? No. Death is good clean fun in pre modern world.

>Smiling Jim was one of them.

Was he still smiling?
>>
>>46823456
The retard kid is supporting "Garrosh's Horde" is not psychopath

The majority of Orc oppose Garrosh does not contradict with Garrosh's Horde being psychopath.
>>
>>46823456
>Did you miss the part where Blizzard outright stated the majority of Orcs were opposed to Garrosh's campaign?

please see
>>46823330
>I have. Garrosh's Horde kill plenty, but they're not psychopaths.

Not talking about the Darkspear Revolutionaries. I was talking about Garrosh's Horde.
>>
>>46823454
>Slaughtering the civilians in the position, aka murder psychopath.

Nope. Destroying the enemy emplacement. Civilian casualties are to be expected.
>Conquers who enjoy genociding civilian population, therefore psycho path.

Nope, just conquerors.

Go look at the Offical Story forum, you will be surprised.

>>46823477
Because Troll is mysterious.
They have a long history, varied tribe and habits, but very little official address on them

To figure out their story from the scraps in quests is interesting, and since they are rarely addressed they haven't being ruined by the retard BZ writer yet.
>>
>>46823516
So murder psychopath

So murder psychopath

The only rebottle you have left is NOPE, which is wrong and you know it.
Just stop lying and admit that you and all orcs are psychopath retards and we can finish this.

The only way to win is not to play.
Someone's been trying to wrangle your jumblies- just stop replying to them, because as this thread has evidenced, trolls can spin anything to suit their facade.

IIRC it even comes up in the War Crimes book. I was fucking livid.
>>
>>46823575
They're not though. Why do you equate killing people with being a psychopath? More civilians die in war than soldiers and blood sport is very popular.

>>46823594
By some dumb cows maybe, true Hordies just laugh at them intentionally allowing Cows to escape.
>>
So I read in the last thread that shadow priests are getting divorced from old god fluff? Please tell me that is not true. That seemed really cool
>>
>>46823637
>IIRC it even comes up in the War Crimes book. I was fucking livid.
It came up but in a fairly benign way.
>>
>>46823494
>>46823510
Well, kindly disregard, because I am clearly retarded and missed that bit.
>>
>>46823643
even Nazi had problem killing children, but Orcs didn't
Therefore psychopath.
See? easy logic, just you are too retarded to see.
Which is understandable since you like Garrosh's Horde.
>>
>>46823652
They are having some of the skill names removed
But they are still related to old god in the sense of gear and stuff.

Xal'atath do whispers to the Priest who wields it.
>>
>>46823652
No, if anything they're becoming full-on old god cultists, what with their artifact.
>>
>>46823615
I personally liked the Zandalari, and their lore when they become bros with the mogu was pretty neat.
>we are totally gonna betray each other.
>tomorrow
>eh,
>maybe not.
>they seem like pretty cool guys
and now they are best allies.

>>46823637
>>46823663
in what way did it come up?

Baine's emotional bullshit about rebuilding theramore really made me want to genocide tauren.
>we can rebuild it
No you can't you stupid cow. the land is irradiated and gone.
>>
>>46823687
Nah, all children deaths are just collateral.
Again, civillians die during war, look at the Blitz.
>>
So how will the artifacts work? I hear legion will have no weapon drops meaning your artifact weapon is your main weapon for everything. So does that mean for dual (triple) spec pally for example, they get both Ashbringer, and whatever the holy pally wep is?
>>
>>46823736

I liked how Baine was the only horde leader who showed remorse and gave back the hammer he got as a diplomatic gift.

>>46823736

The zandalari betrayal was full retard, we were BFF with them in vanilla and worked togther well in wotlk
>>
>>46823736
Moria and Zandalari are the one I like about post-cata lore.
Its much better than the regular stupid evil that you see around.

Well Baine was a lawyer, lawyer lies.
>>
>>46823765
Nope, their kills are intentional
Stop lying out of your ass to protect your narrative, you little political whore.

>Orc shitflinging
Can't I just hang out with the Darkspears and not deal with this?
>>
>>46823736
The Trolls are a surprisingly bro-tier race when they aren't being invaded.

Drakarri are buddies with the Wolvar. Zandalari are best bros with the Mogu. The Amani and then the Darkspear were close friends with the Orcs.

We should see more Troll being cool bros.
>>
>>46823776
Yes you can have 2 artifact weapon
They level up separately so you need to work separately.

>>46823780
Zandalari turning on us is because Bliz ran out of idea and had to make some new instance out of their ass.

While their reason is not THAT bad it sure was poorly executed.
>>
>>46823809
>Nope, their kills are intentional

Nope, only if they get in the way.
>>
>>46823869
Nope, intentional
Which is why they attack unnotified at civlian villages.

Just quit lieing like the shit whore you are.
>>
>>46823811
because the orc is family, and the orcs are the retarded cousin who should have been aborted.
>>
>>46823830
I thought the Drakkari were the biggest assholes among the trolls, to the point they were sent into exile in the north.
>>
>>46815775
I used to like Sylvanas, until she went infinite plotarmor and can only get killed by ice from ICC.

Then again, I used to like alot of characters in Warcraft that I don't like anymore because they've lived for too long.
>>
>>46823917
>Darkspears nearly wiped out by Murlocs
>Orcs are the retarded ones
>>
>>46823914
They attack strategically viable places. Civilians living there does not make them psycopaths. Look at any war in history and you'll see dead civilians.
>>
>>46823969
The Emu War
>>
>>46823914
>Astranaar and Silverwind Post are civilian villages
>>
>>46823950
Darkspear was in conflict with Humans
Then the Naga witch tries to drown the island.

They were never nearly wiped out by Murlocs.
>>
>>46823969
Slaughtering civilian makes them psychopath

Strawman only works on retards such as you, its not gonna work toward people with reasonable intelligence.
Just something for you to know in the future.

>>46824004
> Astranaar not a village
> Silverwing post have literal civilian corpses on the ground

Its like all horde fanboys are inherent liers.
