World of Warcraft: Current Year

This story stuff is fine and all but I'm really more concerned about seeing the class I boosted already have nerfs on the way. I have no frame of reference, I don't know what I'm doing, I have no idea what the game looks like at 120, and I'll never set foot in a mythic raid but I care very much about this -

• Smite damage reduced by 6%.
• Discipline
  • Shadow Word: Pain reduced by 9%.
  • Shadowfiend damage reduced by 16%.
  • Mindbender damage reduced by 8%

It's an outrage despite my inability to quantify any of it!

Just look at the list of god mode powers Jaina has through the scenario and then the jail break in SW. Mass teleportation, arcane shield, massive frost nova that stops blight, unlimited blizzards, ice wall, floaty ship magic, and arcane cannon barrage. Oh and Anduin can combat mass rez. Not to mention void lady who has vague void powers that includes some kind of void teleport.

Horde has a Tauren with no powers, a banshee with limited powers, a goblin with no powers except Tech and greed, a blood elf with no notable powers, an orc that has given up, and Zappyboi... nevermind, Horde wins.

I have such disappointment with this pre-release. I thought, okay.. Cool. We're invading from Darkshore side and Liberal Saurfang is cutting through Felwood. So we'll have a story in Felwood (cause it fucking hinted at every point that it was going to be dangerous, right?) and then we'll take Darnassus - concluding chapter 1. Chapter two, we port right into Undercities belly and rise up from beneath to fight the Alliance, which should have had us spill into the battlefield, release the poison and push alliance back to a reserve point in Tirisfal Glades. Allowing World Quests to be available there. Then the next part of the series should have had alliance overpowering the resistance, pushing into Under City and then Sylvanas laying her trap to conclude chapter two.

BUT, no it didnt happen that way at all. It feels rushed. It feels as though they were just trying to put it out there and nevermind what the hell the player is doing until release. But whatever, gimme the g'd expansion so I can gain 5 pounds sitting on my ass for 3-4 days.

Since when can banshees raise the dead in Warcraft lore? Only arthas a lich/dk can do it that o remember. Is this something that has been part of their abilities or this an upgrade Sylvanas just recently got? Yeah I know we also have battle priests aka sword wielding clerics.

I assumed those were short duration temporary animations rather than true undead.

^They were skeletons, not ghouls/zombies. Guess is they would have fallen down when out of Sylvanas' range.

Asmon has 14,444 subs. Holy Fuck. I was born at the wrong time.

Worth doing alliance side or just more of the same?

Fuck Jaina and her magical ship, what a stupid scene lol

So the deal with that is at the end of her warbringer cinematic she raises the ship that her father was on when it sunk at Theremore when he died. So she is in full fuck you mode.

Also have to remember that she absorbed all of the power of the energy bomb in theremore which was powered by the focusing iris which was suppoedly the most powerful arcane artifact in azeroth.

She gets through the blight by freezing the vapor, it will just come back.

RIght now in character development Jainia and Anduin are really the most interesting at the start of BFA. I really hope Baine steps up soon.

If the Orcs / Tauren still stand with Sylvanas after what she says to Saurfang and Baine, then they have no balls and are just weak. She needs to be slapped down.

Started questing in Outlands on my new mage, and my memory is obviously bad because I have absolutely no idea how the Naga got there, or why? Weren't the Naga transformed Elves from Azeroth?

Vashj teamed up with Illidan back in WC3?
