Here be all my lovely characters | Moon Guard/WrA player and long-time RPer | LFR Superstar | I take screenshots of my blorbos | I don't know what I am in terms of gender
stumbled on this on a discord and y'know, one player's "whitewash misunderstood uwu" is another player's "oh thank god we aren't going to slaughter the colonized local tribe because they're all inherently evil"

As any good discussion of Draenor/WoD must, it also was going to involve comparisons to and discussion of Outland/BC, so I'm including the shots I took there too

The color palette variation is a big part of what I liked so much about Draenor (and a lot of WoW's world design)

Crap, the material for this ballooned into an unwieldy mess of an essay. I... might need to consider turning it into a proper video essay. But in the meantime here's a selection of shots I was going to use in the continuation of the QRTed thread.

WoW has never been consistent in how it conveys actions in text form, but this one makes me think Fargo is not belching and is literally just saying the line out loud to be weird

One of the DH end talents having an icon of a Naaru and the name "Shattered Destiny" makes me chuckle whenever I see it

Operator Thogar calls out every single train seemingly from memory

The Blackrock Clan apparently gets its power not from blackrock ore in the heart of the mountain, but from raw 'tism

this is like 30% of all DH content post-Legion until Midnight releases
November 19, 2025 at 5:53 PM
the DHs have suffered the same syndrome post-Legion that DKs suffered post-WOTLK except even worse. no story plan for them and not even a plan to talk about their lack of plan.

one of them in DF is a throwaway joke pet trainer. a PET TRAINER

this will be very awkward on my green-fire destro warlock wearing the gul'dan tier set that literally belches fel flames every dozen seconds or so

I'm hard at work gathering material for my mini-essay on WoD and Draenor but I just want to remind everyone of the delightful tale of how the Blackrock were assisted by a magnaron whose hyperfixation was hammering metal plates

(the players killed him, a massive tragedy)

Logo shows. Crowd roars. Metzen comes back on stage. "Oh hell yeah!" Crowd cheering. "Right back to the start. Kinda. Guys, I hope you enjoyed that announcement, I imagine you have a lot of questions, we have a lot of answers. Don't worry, it all makes sense." Crowd applauds. Panel at 12:30.

"Our will is iron. Our bond, unbreakable. Who... will stand against us?" rumbles Grom Hellscream himself, brown-skinned and standing with six other orc figures silhouetted by a blazing sun as he raises Gorehowl aloft.

NEW WORLD: DRAENOR (Crowd cheers)

NEW CHARACTER MODELS (Crowd explodes)

LEVEL CAP RAISED TO 100 (Crowd is too busy exploding to notice)

A figure who could only be Velen stands overlooking a vast host of orcs. What could only be the temple of Karabor - the true temple, not the Black Temple of Outland - is pelted with massive fireballs by cannons on the backs of Gronn.
November 18, 2025 at 1:13 AM
Crowd roars. The announcement trailer begins. A sunset over a forest. An orc blows a low note from a horn. Snow with fire in the background. A fire in a dark jungle with orcs dancing madly about it.

Metzen does his Metzen thing. After a long, leading preamble going over Siege and hinting at a "pantheon" of old villains coming back, nobody is sure what to expect. Finally he announces the expansion title: "WARLORDS OF DRAENOR!"
November 18, 2025 at 1:13 AM
The year is 2013. Blizzcon is here. Mists of Pandaria is winding down now. You've played Siege, you're all dolled up in tier whatever (people stopped counting) and after all the other Blizzard games get their turn, out comes the main event: WoW, with Metzen himself on stage.
November 18, 2025 at 1:13 AM
okay a lot of wow puns are bad but this always makes me smile a little
November 15, 2025 at 4:33 AM
some days it's like that
November 2, 2025 at 8:55 PM
you can tell Midnight is done by a totally different dev team from The War Within because the official artwork has her feet covered
November 2, 2025 at 8:31 PM
So blizzard. What’s up. You gonna just take this lying down or

I hated Sylvanas before the Saurfang moment…
October 31, 2025 at 1:17 PM
I know dunking on poor Malfy in Val'sharah is old hat but seriously man, you were in a novel about this. Tens of people read it.
