>this is what we get after years of waiting
JUST
>>332658907
MEME
What shit writing.
I don't understand
>filthy tauren shitters in muh PALADIN class hall
Oh just fuck off.
>>332661132
what?
Don't you fucking tell me Tauren can be paladins now.Quit the game the moment LK hit the floor I feel bad for anyone else who kept playing
>>332661328
they are sun druids but ye they can be pallys
>>332661328
Yea, they worship the sun or some such retarded shit. Sunwalkers or something. Not only do they shit up the paladin class hall with their presence alone, but they also bring in totems their tribal "culture" to it.
>>332661328
tl;dr it's a tribe of tauren who worship one eye - An'she, the Sun - of the Earthmother.
>>332661389
>>332661427
>>332661719
What? How is worshipping the fucking sun the same as the light? The fuck is this shit.
>>332661862
Nigga I don't know, who knows how shitfaced Metzen was when he came up with this.
tl;dr it's a tribe of tauren who worship one eye - An'us, the Sun - of the Goatse.
>>332661862
>What? How is worshipping the fucking sun the same as the light?
It's not, but it's basically the same justification used for why Night Elf priests can wield holy magic, too.
>>332661862
Mechanically they're paladins, lorewise they're sun-worshippers. Both throw sacred light around. It's not rocket science, grognard.
>>332661862
It's literally "shit there's still only one horde race that can be Paladins make something up fuck"
they kinda pulled the same shit with Draeni/Dwarven Shamans as well
>>332658907
THATS IT?
They fucking teased and teased that something would be done with them for years...and it's that they are fucking dead?
Im so fucking done with wow.
>>332662153
Dwarven shamans have been a thing though....
>>332662225
They've been teasing this guy's return to Stromgarde ever since he was found to be alive in TBC.
That said, they may or may not get their unique models later. Alpha is alpha.
>>332662225
What? They are still alive, but probably not for much longer as I guess making contact with Azeroth put them at risk of letting Kil'Jaden know where they are (which is probably a bad thing)
>>332662409
TBC was a mess lore-wise anyway, only warlords managed to be worse in this aspect.
>>332662225
they're teasing that they may be dead
this is what will happen
>they get mindfucked by the legion and become evil
>you kill them
>muh son Dx
average blizzard meme
remember zeratul?
>>332658907
>Never again
> Never again
>Balnazzar and Gul'dan are now part of the top three commanders of the Burning Legion with KJ
Really?
Even Varimathras or Mal'ganis would have made more sense than him let alone Mephistroth, who is the current leader of the Nathrezim.
But the fucking time-traveling adventure orc Gul'dan also? Even Xavius would have made a better commander.
>still expecting anything from WoW lore
Danath will become a Horde questgiver in Orgrimmar, calling it now.
So what, they are lost in the Twisting Nether or something? That shit puts you outside of time and space which explains that 1000s of years comment
>>332662409
>Alpha is alpha.
>ALPHA
>IS
>ALPHA
Please choke on Metzen's girthy chode.
>>332662153
Dwarf Shamans are basically The Wildhammer clan, which have been in Warcraft since at least WCIII (Gryphon Riders)
>>332662731
I have an alternative explanation: Metzen is a fucking hack
>>332662934
Well no fucking shit, but being lost in the Nether would make sense. They were on Draenor when it shattered, they probably got blown off into it.
>>332662891
>WC3
You mean 2. Those fuckers have been around longer than orc shamans.
>>332662876
Who knows. They might cut them away altogether, like they did entire zones for WoD.
>>332662657
At this point I doubt they care anymore. They're just throwing in names.
Legion might just be Blizzard's worst story to date. Even worse than LotV. That's quite a miracle.
>>332663104
They probably remained on a fragment of draenor separated from outland and then maybe traveled to another world.
Yes i know metzen is a hack but i'm trying to be generous.
Legion is going to be a train wreck of an expansion isn't it
>>332662876
If there's ever a place to have shit not working, it's an Alpha.
>>332658907
>lorefags
My god so much fucking salt in this thread. Go play another game you raging sperglords
>they were hunting demons for thousands of years across the stars
>a fucking paladin and a ranger
there is some really heavy magical bullshit going on in that twisting nether
>>332663367
Sure, but this is Blizz we are talking about. Drastic changes to minor things like a couple of NPC character models hardly ever happen.
I still remember all the shills that excused the lack of unique character model for Garona in Cata. Then it went live, then they did the same exact thing in WoD despite her having a significant role in the Legendary quest chain.
>>332663479
We are playing another game, thats the point. People stopped playing wow because of all the bullshit.
>>332661862
Sunwalkers my man
>>332658907
>For a thousand years we have been hunting the Burning Legion across the stars
>They've only been missing after the end of WC2 for 30-ish years
What the fuck?
>>332663479
t. blizz shill.
>he still thinks Metzen has anything to do with WoW's story development
top kek idiots, he hasn't been involved in this shitshow for about eight years
they just wheel the old boy out for blizzcon to convince people he still gives a shit; he's the canary down the mine for a lot of deluded WoW players
I don't understand how they have been hunting demons for thousands for years
Firstly the paladin is a human so only lives to like 80
Secondly didn't they only get trapped in Outland like 10 years ago? What the fuck happened?
>>332658907
It's not even voiced.
Nice game faggots
>>332663857
it's a beta, nice bait buddy
>>332663901
it's a alpha, nice information friend
>>332663901
>imblying they will ever voice it
oh i am laffin
>>332663697
Twisting Nether is basically a place where time doesn't really work. I guess that's why the Archimonde you killed at the end of Hellfire Citadel was the same Archimonde from Hyjal all those years ago
>>332663650
It is bullshit but wows main hardcore playerbase is chop full of mouth breathers that are willing to fork out dough over shitty things like new recolored cat pets and God awful content like adding in raids that are the same shit every expansion
>>332664057
B..but muh TOR.
To give them some credit, they do voice work for a handful of quests on occasion.
>>332663697
time travel son, a message from the far future
>>332664097
Wrong. Archimonde in HFC is the same Archimonde from Hyjal because when demons die outside of the Twisting Nether, they reincarnate back inside of it. Time travel had nothing to do with it.
Plus, Turalyon and Alleria say they've been fighting the Legion "across the stars". Clearly they haven't just been fucking around in the nether this whole time.
>>332658907
>ALLERIA IS A FUCKING NIGHT ELF
THEY REALLY DID FORGET EVERYTHING ABOUT THESE FUCKING CHARACTERS, HOLY SHIT
>>332658907
He play wow for lore KEKTUS
>its a wow lore thread
>>332664323
Could just be a placeholder model. Turalyon has his new one but she's just a generic Night Elf one.
>>332664323
its a placeholder, calm your autism
sylvannas was a night elf for a while too
>>332664440
Yeah, because that was before we had actual blood/high elf models and skeletons.
>>332658907
Reminder that Blizzard went on record as saying that the return of these two NPCs would "change the way we view WoW".
>>332664239
But WoD's HFC takes place in the fucking past.
>>332665014
Yeah, and the excuse the writers pulled out of their ass for Archimonde had nothing to do with time travel. Demons and the twisting nether apparently transcend dimensional boundaries.
>>332665103
Yeah, but they also said it transcends time too.
>>332665103
Which opens up an even bigger can of worms: this effectively makes them omniscient.
Who cares. Let's discuss XIV lore instead.
How do you know that's all we'll get?
>>332665667
We'll probably get 1 cutscene then it's dumped just like Orgrim Doomhammer.
>Warlords of Draenor won't have any lasting effects on mainstream timeline Azeroth!
>Gul'dan is now one of the top 3 generals of the mainstream timeline Legion.
Fuck it. Can they just retcon Medivh back into the lore and just have him reboot the universe or some shit?
>>332665906
Can Blizzard just go bankrupt so they stop making terrible games?
>>332665906
>Can they just retcon Medivh back into the lore
I've been waiting for it to happen for a while now. Just pop back in, fuck Sargeras' shit up, and tell everyone to go home.
>>332666151
they're like the biggest indie game developer on earth,
hs prints money
>>332667112
>F2P means indie
>>332661862
tauren paladins are an abomination unto the light
but this recent shit did change they way I view WoW
I have no idea who these characters are.
>>332668290
never played warcraft 2?
