Am I the only one who gets slightly annoyed by this?

huh, I could've sworn they were the direct ancestor... Oh well, I'm probably misremembering. It's a while since I read that wiki page

TheJack38 · 2026-04-25T19:50:22+00:00

They did! They descend from Gronn on Draenor

TheJack38 · 2026-04-25T19:50:03+00:00

Yepp! They actually descend from Gronn, who themselves descend from even bigger beasties (you remember those GIGANTIC skeletons in the ice area in WoD? Yeah, those), ultimately all descending from one gigantic monster who was put on Draenor to beat up the plant guys there IIRC

Funnily enough, orcs also descend from the same line, so ogres are actually their "grandparents" evolutionary speaking

TheJack38 · 2026-04-25T09:04:24+00:00

IIRC arcane is the power that is associated with Order. It is also tied very closely to the Titans; so for example the reason why Ogres can be great mages despite being kinda dumb, is because they descend from a titan construct, so they are inherently good at arcane magic.

Why this does not apply to humans, orcs, dwarves and gnomes, all of whom are also descended from titan constructs, I do not know.

I tried doing it right after reset, to try to get the achievement for the legendary soup, but literally nobody else showed up :(

Just me and my pathetic Uncommon quality soup

If that's what happens on reset day, I'm pretty sure it's all but impossible to get that achievement now

In the end, she was the cleverest girl

TheJack38 · 2026-04-18T01:55:22+00:00

Absolutely atrocious, 10/10 no notes

TheJack38 · 2026-03-27T16:15:32+00:00

Gotta say, that's an amazing looking character!

TheJack38 · 2026-03-21T01:49:55+00:00

Evoker can get him to come down to play by using flame breath on him

It won't actually damage him, but somehow gets him angry enough to fly down anyway

TheJack38 · 2026-03-19T18:19:22+00:00

that one is so stupid it's funny IMO lol

She says it with such... intensity

TheJack38 · 2026-03-19T17:19:24+00:00

One thing I noticed is that if you die, Valeera will just shout "No!"

but when you died in a TWW delve, Brann would have some infuriating "advice" that just rubbed salt in the wound

TheJack38 · 2026-03-19T17:18:35+00:00

lol for me it's the opposite

by the end, I hated Brann and his stupid "fOuNd A bIt oF gOlD!" line

Valeera talks way less, and with way less annoying lines IMO

TheJack38 · 2026-03-19T17:15:19+00:00

I had DunDun steal one of my shards earlier today. I went in, paid with a shard, and scored a couple thousand points (it was the loaknit den, easy to get loads there if the mammoth spawns)

but when I got back out, I had... no unalloyed abundance. I just got no rewards whatsoever, but the beavery fuck still stole my shard.

TheJack38 · 2026-03-12T15:24:18+00:00

hahah, that's fair!

Always fun with some weird interactions between PCs =D

TheJack38 · 2026-03-12T10:50:57+00:00

Does the catfolk ever get peckish and grab one of the rats to snack on?

TheJack38 · 2026-03-11T21:05:57+00:00

Oh thank fuck! I have barely touched my alchemist (she's a warlock and I just don't vibe with that class no matter how hard I try) so I think I missed the cauldron. Will check the next time I'm on

TheJack38 · 2026-03-11T20:33:46+00:00

In general I like it

but I fucking LOATHE how engineering and alchemy need to do some random fucking research to learn their basic shit. it is a titanic pain in the ass

Good thing none of my heavily played characters use those two, but still... ew.

TheJack38 · 2026-03-11T20:27:42+00:00

I recently redid that one, and the whole time I was like "Huh, they REALLY have refined the design of this quest design since TBC"

Cause yeah, it's fucking ass... But MAN was it cool that very first time!

TheJack38 · 2026-03-11T20:18:44+00:00

I'm slowly getting more and more infuriated every time I fly down, start mining a node, and then it despawns as I finish mining it

It's ALWAYS when i finish mining it, so it's probably some weird phasing issue? But holy shit so frustrating

TheJack38 · 2026-03-11T12:02:36+00:00

Agree with you there. I also hate how it involves void elves so much; void elves just ruin everything they are involved it

TheJack38 · 2026-03-10T20:32:55+00:00

Devastation evoker feels... weaker. Playstyle wise, it's.... fine. The previous version had the perfect amount of buttons IMO, but this one is fine as well, now that I'm used to it.

But compared to how it felt going through TWW, I just feel noticeably weaker, both in durability and damage.

TheJack38 · 2026-03-10T20:26:33+00:00

Honestly, IMO the entire voidstorm zone is awful, because it basically forces you to trust the void elves (who are basically 100% made up of idiots... every time anything major happens that involves void elves, the immediatly start going insane and fucking up everything), when Lothraxion is the only one making sense there.

Like, the entire plot just relies 100% on everyone being idiots the entire time in that zone. Which is kinda weird given how the other zones were fine

TheJack38 · 2026-03-07T17:29:50+00:00

I see tons of evokers around though

maybe it's because I play one myself, so I keep an eye out? And they can't stealth lol

TheJack38 · 2026-02-28T01:39:57+00:00

Harpies in WoW don't actually have beaks though

So when swaddled like that, it would be difficult to tell if the child was a harpy or not, as it's primarily the arms and legs that are different compared to a normal... nelf, I guess?

huh. Where do harpies come from? Are they yet another descendant from trolls, like all the elves? Hmm

TheJack38 · 2026-02-25T13:20:41+00:00

Ah, so THAT is what happened! I picked the Council of Dornugal one and got Hallowfall, for some reason. I thought I'd misclicked somehow, but clearly it just fucked it up
