I wasnt quite in the same boat in my starting point. I started in BC with my Dad, he and I played together until Wrath. At that point he got bored and Cataclysm represented the tumultuous transition and MoP being the point in which I was truly finding my own footing and REALLY started playing the game in a serious manner
MoP was the goat. I feel as a younger (ish) wow fan, I've grown up with Anduin. I started playing as a child, and at the time Anduin was also a child being protected from the world. Watching him grow up to now, seeing the pain he lives with and everything he's been through makes him such a relatable character, even if what he does isn't 'realistic'. I love him so much. We all felt it somewhere deep inside ourselves when he said "The things I've seen, the things I've done."
I'm one of those "old timers". I started playing in 2008, BC was the thing. My adult kids got me into it because I couldn't understand what all they were talking about at a Thanksgiving dinner. My son bought it for me for a Christmas present. I was 51. I fell in love with the game. I played almost daily. Got into raids because of the kid (kid, he was 29) and dungeons. He and his wife, his dad (my ex), the ex's brother, and my now husband all played and ran together. Then the kid quit and I was there running with my husband. I LOVED Pandaria, Anduin became a favorite, so did Wrathion the Enigma. I had such a great time there. I still play, the last of the family but I love it. I'm collecting the lore books (I love Christie Golden's books, both inside and outside the game). I just bought Chronicle One because of you, Pyromancer. I'm now very interested in how these things go together. And, as an author myself, I tend to look at the stories a bit differently and your analyzations of the lore is very, very good on many levels.
Yeah, Granny Rubyrose is still hanging in there, running her little gnomish self around the Dragon Isles, along with so many alts that I'm now an alt-holic. And I bet I have wow to play up until the very end. "She died playing the game she loved" should be on my tombstone.
For a setting of this size, wow has almost no characters at all. Go watch any anime with at least 100 episodes. And at this point, if it was a tv series, warcraft would have like 600 of those
You too could make good videos. By writing a script before you hit record.
People who make videos about WoW need to move on 😉
Dude online friends are always the goats, that’s so sick that they bought it for you so they can play with you.
Well MoP was quite hated on release bro but these days many call it out for one of the best expansions that exist. Nevertheless im quite happy that you calmed down a bit, got this video suggested on the mainpage, which is quite rare ngl!. Last time ive seen you, you already calmed down hugely in comparison which i liked alot, now its very good imo so far. Imma show up now more than before the huge "disaster". We all grew up at some point and develope more and more. Stay healthy my friend and keep doing what you want to do. Chase your dreams as good as you can!. Ngl Your imitation of Genn crying into the cloud SYLVAAANAAAS made my day
Pyro, I am going to be honest man. You got back into wow content right when my mom passed away and it has really helped it was like having a old friend to talk about the good old times with. I used to tune into your 14 content even though I Didn’t have a ton of interest in that game, but it is nice to have you also throwing wow content into the mix again. Thank you very much Pyro.
My dad and I raided Dark age of Camelot together before WoW came out, when they were doing doing closed beta in 2003 , he got 2 beta keys. Illidan is what got me hooked. 11 year old me loved reading about the elven mage.
Still have my account active to this day
The passing of the torch is something that needs to be dealt with carefully. You can't just have old characters up and disappear/die so new ones can come in, it has to be gradual *cough*World Soul Saga*cough*. Take a look at the Star Wars sequels; killing off the OTs 3 main character, one in each movie, felt like a disservice to both long time fans and the story. If Blizzard were to up and do something like that to Jaina, Thrall, and/or Khadgar so some other similar character could take their place without proper *build up*, it'd feel wrong. Like zappy boy, maybe he could be the next 'Thrall' but only with some good build up over TWW and Midnight, culminating with his taking of the metaphorical torch in TLT. Thrall himself doesn't necessarily have to die, but decide it's finally time to hang up his shamanistic powers for good, asking the elements to lend the strength they gave him to this younger shaman who still needs guidance.
And I think that's what the World Soul Saga is going to be doing; ending all these old stories and giving older characters actual endings and moving on to a new generation so to speak (or quite possibly just an entirely new universe/universal reset).
I first truly started warcraft in warcraft 3 and my favorite characters are Thrall and Illidan, i have been mainly a horde player, i can say that as someone who followed warcraft for long that yes it can suck with some of their decision like “green jesus” (kinda like where he is at now), also dont think we have seen the last of Illidan, but about being overcrowded by old characters i think is more of an alliance side problem, so many horde characters have gotten offed/kicked out, vol’jin, garrosh, sylvanas, cairne.
I think the problem is more to create some characters people will like and accept.
i started with the battle chest aswell but what i think was last patch of tbc though
What if the titans are the void lords 😮
Even with their negatives, my favorite characters are & will always be. Thrall & Grommash (hence Thromash name, created in 2003), Arthas & Illidan.
I started playing in 1997 when I was 4. I was too young to become attached to the characters of WC1&2 (didn't understand enough got dad to help play & "get the bad guys" the humans) but WarCraft 3. That came out at right age for me to latch to these characters.
So much so, that before Frozen Throne came out I got my father to help me email Blizzard to suggest ideas for the game. One that stuck with me was I played a game from Microsoft called "Impossible Creatures" so I emailed Blizzard suggesting a race that could go both on land & in the water. Then Frozen Throne came out with the Naga.
As a kid for the longest time (back before the internet was as it is today) I thought I had helped bring the Naga into the game. Obviously not as when the internet started to become what is with so much info, I eventually realized that the Naga had existed a long time before I emailed Blizzard.
Back to the start. Even though these are my favorite characters. Illidan isn't around, fine with that, it's apart of his story. Arthas, hated ending him but was okay with it. SL.. Grom, his story was great, WoD was okay just not that last cinematic, the lines just don't work. And Thrall, well he simply doesn't need to be around all the time. He can have a story off screen too like Illidan. I mean he can go raise his daughter & his son who is now old enough can step into the light a bit & build his character. Though please give him an ORC voice not a Human one. My 1 gripe with him. Just weird hearing a more Human voice from an Orc. I get he is still young just, not how my brain feels a young Orc should sound like idk.
The Warcraft story kinda went poopoo for me when Garrosh killed Cairne. I liked him the most.
you do a great Trump, lol one of the best , they say
It makes sense that Yshaarj is the tree aman thul ripped out because Yshaarj looks like he uses some sort of fel or maybe life infused power. As well as the art showing the roots of the old god. Weird that 2 of the the old gods have cosmic power like Yogg Saron and death or Nzoth and Yshaarj and Life? Nzoth and Cthun seem more like shadow and madness that then others.
In regards to the idea of things like "they made her warchief just because": There is a weird assumption lately that no thought is put into the writing. As a worldbuilder in my own D&D games, this really bothers me. Worldbuilding is a lot of work. Even when I was way worse at it, it still took a LOT of work to flesh things out. Even bad writing takes some level of passion. Look no further than Ao3 or Wattpad. It is fair to criticize some of the writer's choices. But for people to suggest its lazy or passionless takes audacity.
06 my self & that was after a new neighbor (friend now) saw me playing Phantasy Star Online & talked about WoW. fun fact I only became an "Alli main" cause at the time my "free trial" was at the tail end of BC so the "new races" were locked & I rly wanted to be a warlock & the only horde I felt like trying was the undead but after a short while of seeing the armor would always be torn I went to alliance.
and the farms
We're just waiting for the next meltdown😂😂
I wish Blizz would let us replay the MoP leggo quest chain, even if we can't get the cloak from it anymore, just to do the quests for lore and stuff!
MOP is king
Stuff like this makes me wonder if Metzen will let Thrall make the ultimate sacrifice during the World Soul Saga. I liked when Thrall basically got to retire, but then they pulled him back in and it's just felt like he's back for no reason now. Either retire him for good and let him go back to being a dad, or take him off the board so you can cement his legacy as Mr. Horde.
I mean I played WC3 at a LAN party and was hooked onto the story. Arthas was MY gateway. Doing things that get you ostracized from everyone and are unorthodox but in the grand scheme of things, were actually for the greater good. That hit me hard. Always feeling isolated, feeling different, acting different to everyone else, that hits home for me.
To see him tragically end and ask "is it over?" is how I feel daily. It feels like it never ends. A constant struggle for power, for relevance, for making your mark on the world.
When they tried to do him even more dirty by Shadowlands, that pissed me off.
He was fine dead. Let him die. Let him be at peace.
Thanks for adding to the intrigue that WoW lore has Pyro. It makes it so fun for me.
I love the RuneScape censor sound.
I started playing this game as a wee lad in 2004 because I have older brothers who were anticipating this game. The game was too hard and too scary for a child and I barely got the chance to play, but the scope of the world enthralled me. I wanted to see all the places, but I ended up surrendering in frustration repeatedly after vain attempts to cross Deadwind Pass or the Wetlands as a low level character.
My coming to understand the game coincided with Mists of Pandaria. This expansion was an experience bar none. Breathtaking music and scenery, a story that can be appreciated by anyone, coupled with fun and motivating gameplay. I remember a patch where I could zone in and choose if I wanted to go the PvP route or the PvE route (insane concept) in my dailies, where my efforts on either route would contribute to my faction's preparations for entering an ancient, mysterious sanctum where a thundering tyrant dwelled. In the same patch I swarmed a little coastal island with hundreds of other players to kill a behemoth dinosaur. I spent most of that time as a ghost but I felt like something was really happening and that I was part of it. Pandaria was a mesmerizing place with a thrilling story and I say that as someone who grew up with Wacraft II, Warcraft III, and all the expansions before it.
The only character in any medium that I love no matter what is Palpatine, I hate so much of the story around him but he's perfect no matter what, creamy sheev is immune to bad story, thanks to its actor
