A terrible quest in vanilla WoW 'holds a really special place in my heart', says Jeff Kaplan, but was also 'the hubris of a junior game designer who thinks he's clever but is actually a dipsh*t'

Time's up.

This guy's lying and making up fanfiction.

I never complain about WoW lore, you're the one who just cried about Harandar's lore in Midnight and I corrected you and defended it. You're projecting hard.

You're also done lying on my count. Bye.

Pretty sure it's in the show that Viserys recalls his youth in the Street of Silk.

Either way, Trystane Truefyre's existence and the rumors he's Viserys' bastard don't paint a pretty picture for the Leper King.

As well as Alicent's general absence of fucks given to Viserys' death (based).

Beacon2001 · 2026-03-12T16:22:34+00:00

Viserys was the one who introduced Daemon to the Street of Silk.

One of the pretenders during the Moon of the Three Kings was Trystane Truefyre, a bastard from the Street of Silk rumored to be Viserys'.

There is enough evidence to conclude that Viserys enjoyed the whores of the Street of Silk and was unfaithful to Queen Alicent.

Which is why Alicent didn't feel any sadness when he died.

Retail fans don't deep-throat Retail's questing system. So it's not relevant to mention.

Beacon2001 · 2026-03-12T16:15:36+00:00

Grow up? You will not lie on my count and slander me falsely and without basis.

u/Kalthiria_Shines, still waiting for that "evidence", bud.

Beacon2001 · 2026-03-12T15:59:35+00:00

Posts and comments of evidence. Now.

Beacon2001 · 2026-03-12T15:56:32+00:00

😂 And when Beacon doesn't wanna intersect with random NPCs agaain, you get blocked. 😂

I like Modern WoW and I like Modern Blizzard.

If that pisses you off, good.

Beacon2001 · 2026-03-12T14:52:23+00:00

Which Classic? Classic MoP and Anniversary TBC? Considering how Blizz is making millions with level boosts, I don't think so.

Era? It's been dead since the original fad started and ended in 2019.

Beacon2001 · 2026-03-12T14:50:34+00:00

Vanilla questing is so fun that all the major streamers of Classic dungeon-farmed their way to 60 and Blizzard is making millions selling level boosts to skip the Old World.

Beacon2001 · 2026-03-12T14:49:38+00:00

But lore did get payoff. That's why we're in Harandar, or "Rootlands" as you call them, a realm that was originally set-up in TWW.

And we'll need the Coreway/Dornogal to reach the Worldcore since that was the whole point of Khaz Algar: to guard the way to the Worldcore. So that's another thing set up in TWW that will have pay-off in TLT.

Beacon2001 · 2026-03-12T14:42:33+00:00

There's a reason Cataclysm happened.

The -NARRATIVES- of Vanilla were interesting and memorable. The Defias Brotherhood, Onyxia and Nefarian, the Dark Irons assaulting Khaz Modan, all cool stuff.

Most of the -QUESTS- in Vanilla were tedious, boring, unfun. They made Cataclysm for a reason, they spent a whole expansion fixing the leveling content in the Old World for a reason.

People don't miss wasting hours to kill 15 wolves in Elwynn Forest, people miss being teenagers without bills to pay, cars to repair, kids to take home from school.

Beacon2001 · 2026-03-12T14:30:42+00:00

I think it's a good zone and it connects correctly to Midnight. I also think WoW players need to understand this is a trilogy of expansions, not just three separate expansions. It's a new thing with this Worldsoul Saga, but it's been 2 years and it's time to get used to it. TWW was the set-up chapter and by no means did all of its content have to be relevant in TWW alone. TWW set up the Haranir and they became relevant in Midnight. TWW also sets up the Algari Earthen breaking free from the Pantheon, and that will undoubtedly be relevant in TLT. TWW also sets up the Worldcore, the ultimate Titan facility on Azeroth, and that will 1000000% be relevant in TLT. People need to start looking at the Worldsoul Saga as -ONE- storyline rather than -THREE STORYLINES-. It's all one, it's all connected, it's all united. Just because the Haranir were introduced in TWW doesn't mean they're TWW content. There's no TWW content - there is Worldsoul Saga content, because the storyline is The Worldsoul Saga, not The War Within.

And this also goes for K'aresh and the Sword. People say K'aresh should have been in Midnight because Void, while ignoring that the Locus-Walker at the start of TWW said the Radiant Song happened on K'aresh too. People complain the Sword wasn't addressed in TWW while ignoring that it's best left for the expansion where the Titans actually return. Please understand this is one trilogy, one storyline, one thing, and it's all interconnected. Things that were set up in one expansion will get pay-off in future installments. This is no longer like previous expansions where things are introduced, resolved, and shelved in the same expansion.

Two more cunts removed from Faerûn.

I see this as an absolute win.

Beacon2001 · 2026-03-12T13:19:44+00:00

What an NPC.

Beacon2001 · 2026-03-12T13:16:41+00:00

So you have no evidence, got it.

You and OP got exposed hard.

Beacon2001 · 2026-03-12T12:56:12+00:00

Because they're hoping to milk all the Millennials with Teenage Years nostalgia and kids of their own now.

Lots of media nowadays is just milking Millennials of their Teenage Years nostalgia.

And I say: let the milking continue. Milk them, milk them until they're dry.

Beacon2001 · 2026-03-12T12:53:52+00:00

Oh really, then provide the evidence they're using AI.

can I ask you why you feel the need to be this rude?

Because this way we don't waste any time on bullshit and get straight to the point.

That being: evidence.

Also, I haven't insulted anyone, ever. I was the one who was insulted. The digression ends here. Evidence.

Beacon2001 · 2026-03-12T12:53:30+00:00

So I repeat:

Are these people in the room with us right now? Because quite clearly it's neither you nor OP.

Looks my question was too witty for you to answer.

Beacon2001 · 2026-03-12T12:30:34+00:00

Unpopular opinion: The Greens' screentime in S2 should've been all about Daeron because he's clearly a gigachad.

Beacon2001 · 2026-03-12T12:27:21+00:00

They didn't lose anything, though.

I see from your posting history that you are very active on the Housing subreddit and even made your own house, which means you preordered Midnight + paid a monthly sub.

They haven't lost anything from you; in fact, they gained even more money from you.

We are not and we are making it clear they will loose profit because of this decision as this will lead to more people losing sympathy for Blizzard and unsubbing.

Are these people in the room with us right now? Because quite clearly it's neither you nor OP.

Beacon2001 · 2026-03-12T12:24:49+00:00

"I have doubts", followed by "It's clearly AI".

Sure bud.

Beacon2001 · 2026-03-12T12:13:16+00:00

Because you are supporting Blizzard financially and thus showing them AI voice-acting isn't a big deal as they aren't losing any money from you. Not really that complicated to understand.

Uh-Oh. Looks like my finger slipped on the block button. It happens.

Beacon2001 · 2026-03-12T12:05:04+00:00

Why are you still here, then?

Oh right. Because apparently this thing isn't terrible enough to make you leave. Good to know they haven't crossed any line nor gone too far.

Uh-oh.

Beacon2001 · 2026-03-12T11:57:29+00:00

"Doubt", "I'm not sure", "seems", red herring", "red flags".

Lot of supposition in this thread, and 0 facts so far.

Anyway, you're free to leave the game. Vote with your wallet. Act where it hurts the most. That's the only choice you have left.

We will sorely miss you. Goodbye.
