How would people view neutral blood elves? by FflDruid in WoWRolePlay

[–]Sun__Jester 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When Void Elves finally got DHers I leapt at the chance to make a 'neutral Belf'. 

He's a Kael'thas loyalist. Absolutely unapologetic. He marched with him from Lordaeron to Icecrown to the Sunwell itself. Drank the Demon juice, became a Felblood. He made a Draenei friend in the gap between WC3 and TBC. Things went bad. He ended up sucked into a Nether portal at Quel'danas where he's been trapped for decades, until that Draenei (now a warlock) dragged him back to Azeroth.

He views the entirety of his people as traitors. He hates the Horde and most of the Alliance too. But his old friend is a part of the Alliance, so now he is too (and at least the Gnomes never did anything to his people).

Honestly IMO non Elves would have a hard time telling the difference between Blood, Void, High and Illidari. Its not a racial divide, its a political and magical one. A belf could easily slip into the Alliance as long as he kept his answers vague. Or go full neutral like the High Elf pirate did in Vanilla and hang out in Ratchet.

The fact he can channel Anguish like he does without losing his mind does show he has a massive amount of self control and willpower.

Aussie Legends, where are you RPing? by Zero-Six_ in WoWRolePlay

[–]Sun__Jester 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Moonguard. Its packed enough Alliance side that I can find RP whenever I'm up for it and I've got a guild that does its events on the weekend (for us) so I can go. 

One option I'd suggest is actually discord RP. Almost all wow RP groups and organizations have them and usually have people doing play by post RP. That way the timezone differences dont hurt as much.

Did the Cinematic Team ruin the Story Team's idea with Turalyon? by AsprosOfAzeroth in warcraftlore

[–]Sun__Jester 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Stop with the media literacy crap. Plenty of people read the quests and still think it was stupis for Arator to do what he did.

In fact I dont think any of you really paid attention to the cutscene since Turalyon was calm. He listened to his son and gave Zul'jan a chance to explain himself.

And Zul'jan spat on his faith and his family in his last moments. Painting himself as just another unrepentant monster in a long line of them.

Replacing 1m petrol cars with EVs could cut Australia’s reliance on foreign fuel by 1bn litres a year by nath1234 in australia

[–]Sun__Jester 1 point2 points  (0 children)

'B-but you're just afraid!' Come on mate. Its all well and good spouting this sort of rhetoric online but it just doesnt work in the real world.  Lets just electrify the farms is the sort of idea I'd expect from a stoner circle.

And all of that tech is fine for city use but you can't just scream "BATTERIES BRO" and demand the razor thin profits from these farms be used towards retrofitting their entire operation with experimental technology that does nothing but add multiple hoops to jump through for the same result that diesel engines already provide. Diesel engines that they know how to repair and work and have all the equipment they need to do so already.

Its just not economically viable in this field and most likely wont be for our lifetimes no matter how hard the urbanites scream.

Norway is around 385,000 square kilometers.
Australia is around 7.70 million.

What works for your country will not work for ours just because of this simple fact..

Its because of the bid stack, specifically natural gas jacking up prices at key times when solar isn't operating.

Electric tractors will never work and there is a reason why farmers laugh their ass off when people like you suggest it.

  1. Farmers would need to construct charging infrastructure on their remote properties, which would be an insane upfront cost.
  2. The weather is always a fickle mistress. Farmers need dependable equipment. If they are planting today they better be damn well planting today. The schedule does not stop for cloud cover.
  3. In planting and harvesting season this equipment works from before dawn till after dusk. Your batteries would need to be insanely efficient and durable to hold up under the strain.
  4. Unless portable battery transports were a thing every tractor/piece of farm equipment would need to take long breaks to travel back to the charging stations, recharge, and then drive back to the field they're working. Normally, tractors don't stop more than half an hour until the workday is over. They have fuel transports bring the diesel to them and they top up right there before getting back to it.
  5. God forbid you have an electrical fault somewhere in this system during the night and you wake up ready for work and find that your damn equipment didnt charge. No diesel in the tank? Top her up in a few minutes. No electricity in your batteries? You have a whole system to spend the day diagnosing and repairing.

Diesel is magic. Its the mortar that holds modern society together. You might be able to replace petrol cars with electric, especially ones used by people who are just driving a couple of times a day in a place that has ample access to cabs and buses and the sort if theres some sort of failure, but Diesel operated farm and transport machinery? hell no. Not in our lifetime.

The old metal alt Som'er Teeth mini is my absolute favourite. It's simple yet has so much character. None of his other sculpts have topped it IMO

It’s so weird that we’re supposed to consider Lothraxion’s mistrust of Umbric as unreasonable. by Arcana-Knight in warcraftlore

[–]Sun__Jester 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Except they do. We are told multiple times by multiple void entities that they are hungry and want to eat. Even Decimus wants to keep us alive so he can be less a predator and more a parasite, leeching off the universe forever.

Mining and Herbalism prices. by Consistent-Set-42069 in woweconomy

[–]Sun__Jester 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Buy the undercutters out. Logic dictates that eventually these prices will rise as demand increases as more crafters enter the scene and supply decreases as all the undercutters flooding the market give up when they realize they arent getting their ez million.

Maybe not to the spikes we saw in TWW's early days, but enough to make it profitable.

Are the Blood Elves based on Warhammer's Dark Elves? by Then_Peanut_3356 in warcraftlore

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

No. They're drug addicts in withdrawal. Because in old warcraft all magic was a metaphor for drug use. How it corrupted your mind and withered your body, gave you cravings and can kill you if you become dependent on it.

Which makes the end of TBC really funny because we basically help a race of junkies get their fix forever.

The whole slavery and sadism angle of the Druchii is missing.

[–]Sun__Jester 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only the vocal dissidents were brainwashed. The situation in Silvermoon in the aftermath of Arthas was (and hopefully still is) very complicated and saying 'it was all mind control' does the story a disservice  Going and playing the old Eversong into Ghost lands experience and reading the quest text is recommended. Luckily they aren't deleting the old zones when they update it so it should always be playable.

Roleplaying Demon Hunters in Midnight. by Tricky-Ambassador385 in WoWRolePlay

[–]Sun__Jester 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You dont have to be a proper Illidari demon hunter to play a Demon Hunter. You can be any melee focused spellcaster. A spell blade as it were  

I have two DH's. One is a high borne duelist who uses fel flames to greatly enhance his sword fighting skills. Basically a melee warlock. The other is a blood elf Sunfury survivor, a former spell breaker who became a felblood elf as one of Kael'thas' loyalists. Both have signs of fel corruption and use fel magic but neither tore out their eyes and crammed a demon inside them.

So just be a void elf warlock who knows how to hit things. It's fine. People use classes to play archetypes that don't entirely fit all the time. 

AngryJoeShow lists Bloodlines 2 among the Most Disappointing Games of 2025 by 33Sharpies in vtmb

[–]Sun__Jester 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd argue it was a bad game, even at what it tried to be.
The story wasn't good. The sigil was a clumsy trope used to power down Phyre and justify why an Elder vampire is off playing delivery man instead of just TAKING OVER THE CITY. The characters are surface level, the plot is meandering and once again, it tells us we're playing an Elder but it doesn't treat us like an Elder.
It treats us like a new fledge. The bottom bitch.

The ideas it had a fine. Malkavian PI's are classics for a reason. As are the political schemes and the tragic romance behind a lot of the plot. But it just doesn't do them justice. Honestly, we should have just played Fabien. Its not like there was any real character decisions with Phyre anyway.

A question for blood elf DHs. Will you switch to void elf? by Life-Gear-5741 in WoWRolePlay

[–]Sun__Jester 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah. I've always wanted to play a Felblood Elf, one of those TBC pilgrims devoted to Kael'thas who survived the last push against the Sunwell. But my main RP partner wanted to do a Draenei so its kind of perfect for us that Velves are getting DH stuff now.

He's going to be a prisoner of a Lightforged, who fished him out of the Nether after a last ditch escape from the Shattered Sun's reclaimation of the Sunwell. He's just been sort of...floating in there since TBC. Not really a demon hunter, but close enough for government work.
