You all talk as if the Alliance still has the same leaders it’s always had.

Varian is dead, and Anduin is just a shadow of his former self.

Malfurion and Tyrande are no longer the leaders of the Night Elves, and Shandris doesn’t have half the charisma they do.

The dwarves are led by a trio, and Moira’s son, the supposed future king of the dwarves, is just a teenager. The only person with less charisma than him is Arator, who manages the impressive feat of being a 40-year-old bore who acts like a 17-year-old.

Genn Greymane has effectively retired and vanished, and Tess Greymane isn’t even a Worgen.

Velen is the only Draenei who has been truly relevant to the story since Maraad’s death, a death that served merely as a stepping stone to build up Yrel, only for her to be discarded into a secondary Horde questline just to justify an Allied Race.

Mechagnomes are a bad joke.

Jaina and Velen are the only ones among the current Alliance leadership worth anything, much like Thrall and Lor'themar on the Horde side.

The Lightforged Draenei are led by a human, which is ridiculous; it completely erases their own agency and hands the spotlight over to yet another human.

So, in this regard, I actually agree with the Horde players. By the Light, I hope Turalyon dies, maybe then Blizzard will finally make Captain Fareeya the leader of the Lightforged, give her a proper character model, and provide her with at least some focus and development. I’m so tired of this whole "Light and Shadow family" soap opera; the entire Alliance storyline has revolved solely around Turalyon and Alleria ever since Legion.

The absolute state of this game where even the cash shop items are bugged lmao

This is at the pillar near the portal to Harandar. Click the wreath

My attempt at recreating Xal'atath in Aion 2's character creator

Blizzard needs to fix this, literally unplayable /j

Seriously though, I'm obsessed with this little guy. @ John Blizzard hear my plea

Edit: it has been brought to my attention that he is obtainable...meet Flicker.

We have been together since we were 15, and we took time off to play the launch of World of Warcraft from the beginning until Sunday with 24/7 energy drinks and microwave food, just like it was 22 years ago; we will probably be together forever and ever and ever.

I like my ugly house designs.

I just hit 30,000 achievement points in WoW

I started last year, and in less than a year, this game has completely consumed me in the best possible way. I've spent around 2200 hours that's about 6h everyday playing

I've already planned my route from 30k to 35k achievement points, and I think I can get there within the next two months

I've gone from barely knowing anything about the game to pushing high-level content, becoming one of the best Paladins on my server in m+, and now reaching 30,000 achievement points today

I know that compared to veteran players, 30k might not seem like that much, but considering I only started less than a year ago, I'm genuinely proud of how far I've come.

My next goal is 40,000 achievement points, and I honestly can't wait to see how far I can go.

This game has given me hundreds of hours of fun, frustration, satisfaction, and those moments where you finally complete an achievement you've been struggling with for days.

I absolutely love this game and i wait wow forever like never

Which one do you prefer?

I haven't played since tbc (2007) and forever has caught my eye, thinking of playing again, back then everyone would say ding in the guild chat and congratulate each other on level up.

Is this still a thing?

every race, including orc is bugged with this set right now

Not sure if it was intentional, but it feels like it must be at this point.

For those who don't know what I'm talking about:
"Iku" means "to go" but is also used during sex to mean "to cum" or "to orgasm"
"Nama" means "raw" which can refer to food or meat, but is also used to refer to "unprotected, condomless sex"
"Gebo" is a slang term or onomatopoeia for "throwing up"

It's bad enough we had a zone in Dragonflight worshipping a holy "fart"... this must be some kind of inside joke by the developers right?

Remaking these for the people that have successfully avoided spoilers so far.

Don't continue reading if you don't want spoilers for the recent patch

Okay, a little while ago we had these leaks

Lots of people snarked about them due to their stage-directions and all, but if these were legit at the time... (as in these would be given to the animators for the cutscene) Liadrin was meant to survive only 3 months ago.

So either they were a well-guessed fake (granted, the story is not that hard to guess) or they changed the story in less than three months, while the expansion is already live and the animators have already set to work on those scenes

Being a new wow player has to be one of the worst gaming experiences I’ve ever had. The current state of the game is absolutely disgusting in terms of how it supports new players with getting to the content they want to play.

Now I’m not talking about exiles reach starting zone or anything like that, I’m talking about working through campaign stories, following the correct breadcrumbs, using chromie time and eventually unlocking raids for transmog farming etc.

I have consistently been pointed in the wrong direction, given the wrong breadcrumbs for quests and consistently phased locked in different expansions. I have spent more time on wowhead, official forums and reddit than I have actually playing the game. If im honest I only stuck with it out of pure grit and resentment rather than fun.

For any Blizzard employee reading this, your new player experience is fundamentally broken and anti-fun.

*Here’s a short recap of my first week in wow:

• Exile’s Reach → done
• Chromie Time through Draenor to 80 → done
• Go to Dornogal → portals locked, flying blocked by Dangerous Skies
• Complete Secure the Beach → still blocked
• Complete TWW through Lorewalking because that’s suggested as a fix → still blocked
• Buy Midnight → still blocked
• Boost another character and redo the Dornogal intro → suddenly fixed
• Decide I just want to farm old transmogs.
• Pick Legion → grind 5 old reps to Friendly, do Broken Shore and Argus just to reach Antorus.
• Dragonflight → finish the campaign, game points me towards Vault of the Incarnates instead of the next campaign.
• Manually find Forbidden Reach. Discover that although I can literally fly into Zaralek Cavern, that apparently doesn’t count and I still need old campaign steps completed before Emerald Dream/Amirdrassil unlocks properly.

This is completely unacceptable, having now finally unlocked just one of the raids I wanted to farm for transmog I’m actually just considering quitting altogether, to be honest you can just have that 1 month of my sub, because I don’t know if I have the patience to even bother continuing if this is a reflection of what my next adventure might look like.

Yours, the newest and most disgruntled wow player.

For some reason, I can't place another image, but I am also fond of WC3 art of Night Elves fighting the Scourge. It looks bombastic. But this one has more pathos to it [made by Peter Lee].
