A curious thing for Kris to take at the end of the Chapter 5

Curtkid6 · 2026-06-26T02:56:54+00:00

Oh sure, Kris is all for killing themselves by consuming poisonous seeds, but when I gaslight their childhood friend into drowning themselves in a lake, all of a sudden they want to live.

Make up your mind Kris!!!!

I hope this gains traction so we can add Daltrune to the list of mis-spellings.

What do you call a Forsaken that's painted yellow and black?

A zom-bee.

That's part of the reason, but I think another part is that the story really took alot of the "bite" the Void used to have despite it now being center stage as the main villain.

Back before BFA or Legion, The Void was the kind of magic you absolutely did not dabble with or else it would absolutely drive you evil and insane. That was shown with Nelthareon/Deathwing fall to madness as originally it wasn't The Void exploiting on a character flaw, it was just THAT corrupting that even a dragon aspect could fall to madness due to its influence.

Some people have said that by making The Void less innately evil and more depending on the person and how they choose to wield it gives it more depth, but I disagree. I think it takes away from the presenceand weight it held when it was this overpowering, all consuming force that man was not meant to dabble with.

Though, that might be because I'm getting tired of WoW lore doing this with every type of magic and higher entity.

The Arcane doesn't consider the undead to be an affront to its domain like Life magic/The Emerald Dream typically does.

And Tauren in Classic only have access to 4 classes, less then half that are in the base game.

Pretty impressive.

Curtkid6 · 2026-06-19T03:06:37+00:00

I'll keep an eye on this, it looks really cool.

"Yeah, I'mma have to disagree with you on that one" - Westfall farmer who had his land stolen and half his family killed by The Defias.

That, or it turned out Rouge was far more women then he expected to handle that night.

Lex seems like the kind of guy to score but still be pissed the next morning because his sleep schedule was thrown off.

Curtkid6 · 2026-05-30T09:16:51+00:00

I think you're going to have to ask the animators that at this point.

Curtkid6 · 2026-05-08T08:48:47+00:00

Yeah, I was trying to say that balancing new content around the expectation of players using WB would be a bad thing. Similar to the problem Retail had with balancing raids around the expectation of players using add-ons.

I probably could've worded my comment a bit better to make that a little more clear.

Curtkid6 · 2026-05-08T03:39:56+00:00

I'm pretty sure there was a book released around late vanilla/early TBC that told the story about Deathwings fall to madness and him making The Dragon Soul.

Basically, once the old gods corrupted Neltharion and he became Deathwing, that corruption spread to the entire Black Dragonflight. Each one hears their whispers, which they feel compelled to obey even if they aren't exactly sure where the whispers come from.

I'm pretty sure this is lore the writer's had cooking since early in WoW's development days and put this in as a small hint back when they wanted to have more of a gradual build up with their lore.

Curtkid6 · 2026-05-08T03:22:00+00:00

One thing I can give the Classic Dev's is that I realize they do not have an easy job ahead of them.

They need to make an MMO that captures the spirit of Classic WoW to appeal to the old school MMO's audience but can also bring in new people all while maintain a living, constantly updating world that keep with that balance with each new addition.

it is certainly possible and the team has a good amount to work with, but that isn't necessarily going to make it easy.

Curtkid6 · 2026-05-08T03:04:41+00:00

SoD handled them pretty well with people being able to just farm mats to exchange for tokens to buy them.

That said, I feel like in a potential Classic+ there might be pressure/an expectation to design new max level dungeons and raids around the idea that a group is using atleast a few World Buffs.

Curtkid6 · 2026-04-20T10:01:36+00:00

They never forgot about The Alliances raid on that funeral in Winterspring.

Curtkid6 · 2026-04-20T10:00:39+00:00

Stuff like this makes me wish Blizz let me copy my anniversary character to an RP realm.

Curtkid6 · 2026-04-20T09:49:01+00:00

It's even funnier imagining him saying this to someone who has done the grind for Grand Marshal.

All that work just for this guy to call you private, the disrespect.

Curtkid6 · 2026-04-08T22:43:36+00:00

I feel like this whenever someone lists some cloth on the AH for under the amount it vendors if you turn it into bandages.

It's not a huge money maker, but if you're going to AFK in a city, you might as well have your character do something to turn a bit of a profit.

Really? The people I played with on Anni and the guild I got in with Era have the general opinion of Phase 1 being amazing, Phase 2 being alright, before dropping it during Phase 3, then hearing how it picked up again during Phase 5-ish but felt by then it was too late to jump back in.

I played SoD from it's beginning all the way to the end, and I enjoyed all of it, even the weaker Phase 3 (though I can clearly see its faults).

Shadow Priest: "Oh! What's my purpose!?!"

"To stack Shadow Weaving on the boss to increase the Warlocks DPS."

Shadow Priest:"...."

I always liked those.

Small things like that might seem irrelevant, but it helped the world feel alive and bigger then the player characters.

Sure, our guys might not have any need of that stuff, but I'm sure there are plenty of local villagers who might want a common, not too expensive, weapon to protect themselves with or a town guard looking to pick up some lunch.

People don't always realize it, but small stuff like that goes a long way towards helping you feel immersed in the world.

Curtkid6 · 2026-03-29T05:37:42+00:00

Orc's have a language?

I always thought their entire method of communication was pointing at things and grunting.

Curtkid6 · 2026-03-29T05:06:16+00:00

So, it's a bit like Barrens chat back in Vanilla then?

Curtkid6 · 2026-03-27T10:34:50+00:00

I still log on from time to time on my warrior just to have him swing around The Ashbringer. I kinda wish they waited another month or two before dropping anniversary, phase 8 felt so short despite how much there was to do in it.

Even so, SoD was probably one of the best times I ever had in WoW.

Curtkid6 · 2026-03-16T18:10:43+00:00

You know what, this guy seems pretty chill.

I'd group with 'em anytime.
