Honestly the chat is cracking me up so much 😂😂
Yeah Tirion died like a punk. It was very unfortunate.
somehow i remember that blizzard once said that its "impossible" to do cross-faction stuff… and now its coming to play?
They don't have good story writers anymore.
removing faction means, servers are dying and there is not enough players to fill the queue on each faction, don't be fooled!
Uther be like: "Oh you're choosing to maintain your vow and oath as a Paladin, showing mercy to a foe and displaying a tremendous amount of courage and honour? That doesn't sound very Paladin, you're banned"
Is this canon to Warcraft?
crazy the jailer had this all planned 20 years ago
These are some of warcraft's best stories. they should have stuck to this stuff instead of every xpac having an end of the world threat to defeat.
That was the best story I've seen in WoW
Tbh its kind of a grayish de saturated green.
Hey Asmon Paladins are super fun to play solo.
now adays every single character needs to be "morally Grey"
Saidan wasn't possessed yet by Balnazzar
What I loved about ''good ole'' warcraft titles and vanilla era is that it felt more tribal on the Horde side and middle ages on the Alliance side. I could almost smell the air and feel the terrain and warcraft race's religions how well represented it was trough the simpler stories, colors of the world, music and graphics / animations.
Nowdays we're fucking flying spaceships, going to the future and past, killing titans and death gods, like what the fuck… Back in my day casting a spell was a fucking huge deal man…
Masculinity and honor, such a great description of Warcraft's foundation.
why have they not used that as a timewalk???
Garrosh actually accepts dk's to horde cause Tyrion vouched for them.
I love these short lore bits animated using game assets. If only Blizzard could afford to do something similar. Small indie company though.
When it comes to in game story, I think they are making a couple of mistakes.
1. You are the champion of champions… is this really something players crave? This has lore-feely implications, because if I'm the champion of champions that kill the "world ender boss", how come I die to 3 trash mobs on a random side quest? It doesn't feel right, I would much rather just be one adventurer teaming up with the real big dogs from the lore, and doing my little part by helping them. Because that way the rest of the game actually makes sense. But when I'm basically a demi-god in the main quest, the rest of the game makes zero sense. "Hey demi-god, shut the fuck up and fetch me 15 rabbit tails, and if you're lucky I',ll give you 2 gold coins for your effort." The role you have in the story should be relatable to your role have in the game overall.
2. It seems like the next villain always have to surpass the previous villain, and that quickly becomes a problem, because we're at galactic level / reality altering level threats now. However I'd argue that if the story is good the villain doesn't even have to be a world level threat. Onyxia was in my opinion close to the perfect villain, especially from an alliance point of view. She had a cool story, the raid was not too long and the boss fight was relatively challenging(for it's time that is), but she was never a world ending threat…and nobody cared. More dots! 🙂
3. Two factions locked in either hot or cold war is the core foundation underpinning the entire Warcraft universe, that is where the tension lies and from which everything else springs. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for that sweet cooperation when the times call for it, but if that should mean anything it must be reserved for extremely rare events, like they did perfectly in Warcraft 3. However, if both factions are basically allies in half the expansions then you undermine how much of a big deal cross faction cooperation should really be, lore wise.
In 2020, Metzen co-founded Warchief Gaming with Mike Gilmartin and Ryan Collins, a board game development company. Founders say making board games allows them to relive the atmosphere that reigned at Blizzard Entertainment before it became an AAA company.
Saidan wasn't Balnazaar at that time
"Are we the bad guys??" LMAO. 🤣😆yes, you always have been. For the horde!!!
Vanilla WoW pvp on a PvE server always had to find a group for horde then switch and start one for alliance
"It used to be just a story about masculinity and honor, and it was so good!"
Once in a blue moon, someone would just randomly summ everything up perfectly in one sentence
Says it was pathetic for Tirion to die to Krosus, a demon that needed an army of both Horde and Alliance, along with at least six leaders (Varian, Jaina, Sylvanas, Thrall, Vol'jin, Greymane) who were powerful combatants respectively to actually put it down. Makes sense.
Warcrafts stories used to be so human. Relatable. Now what?
Actually Eitriigg joined the Argent Crusade back in Wrath, because of his frienship with Tirion Fordring.
GUL DAN KILLED TIRION AND HE HELD ON MUCH LONGER THEN UR FUCKING WARRIOR BOI WHO GOT MELTED BY GULDAN IN A SECOND XD
Tirion is basically like similar to Lawrence of Arabia like same kinds of story like they backstab his claim to the case of an Arab people and this same thing how uther did to tiron yeah like a mistake to die like a coward politician.
Stop taking the Lord's name in vain kid
Wow this story was amazing, it's a shame it's been replaced by these cross dimension multi-year time bending dragon fighting "stories" which are just overconvoluted to make it look like there's good story there
Eitrigg was a part of the Argent Crusade in WOTLK, he was at the Argent Stand in Zul'Drak. He was the commander of the outpost. So yeah they don't have any interaction in game but to think they never saw each other again is false.
When I entered Thrall's throne room in Classic WoW I suddenly noticed Eitrigg standing there and I immediately remembered reading about this story on wowpedia. Then when I saw Tirion in EPL it clicked, I never realized "the guy that saves us from Arthas and then died in Legion" was the same guy who saved/got saved by Eitrigg! It made doing his questline so much more meaningful this time around.
alliance has always been the bad side… fo´ da hord!
Tyrion waited until Orc will fight can fight in full power, but Asmon doesn't care, since maining warrior makes you lose your IQ every time you use spinn, or how that shit called.
Actually, thinking on the timeline, I don’t think that Balnazar had taken over Dathrohan’s body. He only took his body when he was fighting zombies. And if this book takes place before Warcraft 3, then the zombie outbreaks haven’t happened yet. Right? I’ve never played any of the Warcraft games, but I have played WoW, and I have watched a lot of platinumWoW’s videos.
asmon asking if humans are the bad guys a week after orcs escaped concentration camp. yeah asmon, pretty clearly
Love his reactions to this one ^^
STOP SWEARING!
World of Warcraft needs like several expansions of NOT dealing with a crisis, a period of rebuilding and recovery is direly needed
asmon is on coke
Idk how anyone could play alliance seriously. I had an ally alt but horde is best
Metzen is so pro-Horde that his PALADIN is laid up by a BRICK.
Dathrohand was not possessed yet in this story. That happened in the third war or at least after the culling and subsequent haunted eternal burning of stratholm
6:30 the only reason asmon tought the story was good was because the paladin was defeated by a warrior lets be real
Bro I looked for that notification and I don't even use Windows
3:05 i actually checked my pc glad asmon stated that
