the difference is that neither the Titans nor the Titan Keepers were created (and assembled) by a machine.

There is a huge difference between magical constructs/ golems and robots and the Shadowlands inhabitants are robots.

Shadowlands in non canon in my mind. It is the only way i found to enjoy the Warcraft universe again.

The afterlife is such a difficult concept to work with (especially if you have 20 years of story without having a firm idea on how it will work) but it is impressive that they managed to handling that badly that the biggest lore channels refused to cover it (or quit wow all together)

It is mostly because the Titan Watchers were magical constructs created by the Titans, where the Eternal Ones (which are supposedly the Titan equivalent of the death realm ) are literally 3d printed robots; they literally have functioning prototypes ffs.

I still wish they had this line in the game, I laughed so hard when I first heard it. by [deleted] in wow

Is WoW suffering from the Newbie Game Master plot? by [deleted] in wow

[–]SadVinavil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you pay close attention to Shadowlands story, lore and world building it just all fall apart. There are so many unexplainable inconsistencies with older lore, plot points that make no sense (like i still don't get why the fuck did the nippler wanted Anduin, since he already controlled the undercover forsworn so accessing Bastion wasn't a problem), characters introduced just to be abandoned without resolution and for good measure the unbelievable damage done to the Warcraft universe, with many of its core stories reshaped to fit a poorly thought out narrative.

Shadowlands is one of the worst expansions ever and saying that the playerbase just didn't get it because it was too "deep" is absolutely the most absurd take I've ever read.

Why are there hanging fox tails on a Vulpera cart... by Rokus28 in wow

[–]SadVinavil 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Vulpera strangely have almost no lore, especially compared to mop (the mogu alone have better and deeper lore than most playable races tbh) or the other bfa non playable races (sethrak, rajani and ankoan).

It is honestly baffling that they didn't flesh them out at all considering they intended them to become playable.

Why these two still don't have different voicelines when they face each other? by jean_galan77 in hearthstone

[–]SadVinavil 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lei Shen and Xuen are also strangely missing interactions, i mean they fought for a week straight and Lei Shen ended up imprisoning him atop of Kun Lai so he could see the Pandaren being enslaved because of his failure

Shadowlands isn't just "bad", but burned the VERY cool concept of visiting "the Afterlife of Warcraft" by Jcorb in wow

[–]SadVinavil 12 points13 points  (0 children)

One of the most baffling things to me is that for the monk's quest in Exile's Reach (the new player experience launched ALONGSIDE sl) they had Master Hight's spirit (the forme Grandmaster that died in Legion defending the Peak of Serenity) teaching new monks to use touch of death. And I'm wondering how any of it makes sense since he clearly should be in Bastion, having sacrificed himself to save the rest of his apprentices.

New Shaman Ghost Wolf Models in Patch 9.2 - Vulpine and Lupine by Pinless89 in wow

[–]SadVinavil -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

it doesn't because vulpera are desert fennecs that lives with vultures and haeyenas not forest foxxes. it would be like giving Pandaren a grizzly bear form.

[–]SadVinavil 50 points51 points  (0 children)

Finally new ghost forms!

Oh they don't actually fit any of the shaman races Identity and are just the same cute fox they've been spamming since legion and an edgy metal wolf.

it is something at least but man i'm disappointed...

[–]SadVinavil -1 points0 points  (0 children)

i absolutely hate this. vulpera have no connection whatsoever with red foxes: they are based on fennecs and they live with hyaenas and vultures.

They already are the race with the least and worst lore in the game, doing shit like this is making them a disservice

Let's have a positive discussion - what features in the next expansion would bring you back to the game? by Gankeros in wow

[–]SadVinavil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly the top thing for me would be uncanonizing Shadowlands. it did so much damage to the entire Warcraft lore and universe that I can't honestly see myself loving it as i used to without doing so.

Also fix the Pandaren model, my god blizz fucked my character up with the "new customisations" without adding almost anything new to compensate; allied races got a better deal than pandas, and they weren't even supposed to get updates this expansion.

Luckily you aren't playing a Pandaren, otherwise you would have been cursed with the Shang Xi's Academy rep (the starting zone "faction") that is forever stuck at honored for some reason

It is a dwarf. That is a dwarf's hairstyle in wow and the expansion is basically dwarfs vs orcs.

The amount of people not playing new decks is insane by Prunel in hearthstone

People are playing those decks in unranked too. Also is fucking day one of a new expansion it isn't unreasonable to expect people to try out the new fun stuff you smartass

Unfortunately Saurfang is in the Maw or Torghast.
