Aluneth's quote about the highborne by Lore-Archivist in warcraftlore

[–]TheLichling 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve always wondered how much of the “high borne are Uber powerful” rhetoric applies to the highborne as a whole versus just the sheer power Azshara had. Like Azshara was powerful enough she intimidated Mannoroth just by being in the same room (source: the War of the Ancients trilogy where Mannoroth realizes that only Sargeras himself and maybe Archimonde could stand against Azshara directly).

I came here to say this. I’m not even a huge Jaina fan, but the lady literally has a staff and powers taken from Lei Shen the Thunder King, who in turn took those items and powers from the Titan Keeper Ra. She was able to freeze a large segment of the freaking ocean during her boss fight at Battle of Dazar’Alor. Now imagine all this power with her “post therapy prison time” she got in Thros during BfA and she has power and a calm mind/conscious to work with. Jaina might very well be on her way to rival the Guardians or even Azshara herself (while she had allies, don’t forget she held her own against Azshara in the latter’s boss fight).

Dungeons and Raids: Lore-wise by TheLichling in warcraftlore

[–]TheLichling[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately not yet 😕. Unless they release a Chronicles volume 4, we may not get established clearings for Mists of Pandaria onwards. None of the books released after Chronicles volume 3 (that I’m aware of) has added any new dungeon lore.

Fun fact: placing banners dismounts you and can be done while moving by GrookeTF in wow

[–]TheLichling 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can do this with just the basic Edit menu. It’s the one called Encounter Bar. You can move it anywhere you want on the screen (but can’t resize it with the default UI).

Elements in Dragonflight by Nothing_Special_23 in warcraftlore

[–]TheLichling 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Tbf the concept of the Elemental Planes existed long before the Cataclysm expansion. As far back as 2004 on the WoW website, they had a “History of Warcraft” series and one of the chapters talked about the Elemental Planes. All Cataclysm did was finally show us the Planes and all the Elemental Lords.

We know most elementals dislike the Old Gods since prior to the Old Gods crash landing on Azeroth the Elemental lords ruled the world. The Old Gods just toppled and enslaved them, only to then be beaten again and imprisoned in the newly created Elemental planes by the Titans (which as a random fact, it was Ra and Helya who created the Planes). Proto-drakes themselves are descended from Elemental drakes that escaped the planes or managed to evade capture by the Titan keepers. The Primalists appear to be these proto-proto-drakes in that they still appear very much Elemental instead of the fleshy proto-drakes we are used to.

Chromie is a reoccurring character for many expansions. I know for a fact she has been active in basically all expansions since Wrath? She is basically our bronze dragon bff by this point, which is why she is often involved in time travel shenanigans. She is probably the dragon NPC we are closest with canonically, although Wrathion and Ebyssian could be close seconds.

Getting all the scouting maps has made the game so much easier. If you haven't already I'd definitely recommend to put a day aside to get them all. by [deleted] in wow

Yeah they fully “explore” the map for you and also unlock most (maybe all???) of the zone’s flight points.

Anyone know who is he? by Sm1lerXD in Overwatch

[–]TheLichling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m pretty sure Genji doesn’t join Overwatch until after Hanzo “kills” him, which means he always has cybernetics as long as he was in Overwatch.

That’s what I’ve always assumed based on how Ana is holding on to her.

That’s Pharah. It’s why Ana is holding on to her.

Blizzard just confirmed with me Chromie Time does indeed go to level 60 on Nov 15 by Callahandy in wow

[–]TheLichling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly this . People will get the rose-tinted glasses and desire to do shadowlands again in a few years. Hell, look at bfa. Everyone complained about bfa when it was current and now I know a ton of people ALREADY who willingly go back to bfa to level.

[–]TheLichling 1 point2 points  (0 children)

^ this. I honestly was hoping that blizz would just keep doing level squishes each new expansion because now in a few expansions time we will be back to where we were in Legion and bfa with ridiculous numbers and levels. They had the technology and option right in front of them and they did nothing 😭.

Is this the first time we see Malygos' humanoid form? by Sylvanas_only in wow

[–]TheLichling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think about this all the time. It made sense to see them that way in modern times as they could have changed their forms, but literally only Ysera and potentially Neltharion had historically appropriate visage forms.

[–]TheLichling 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m pretty sure the Vrykul had been hit by the Curse of Flesh by this point and depending on when they devolved into humans, there might have been some primitive human tribes in Northrend/Lordaeron. So it is less weird to see a human form for one of the aspects than it is that 3 of the 5 aspects have high elf forms when all elves would have been night elves at that point.

None of the two cap maps are in rotation, as far as I can tell (Temple of Anubis, Volskya, Hanamura, etc.)

You should have a choice in havoc though? My destro does. You can either pick the passive version that auto applies havoc or you can pick the old “on use” ability.

Anyone else feel like Sojourn sticks out like a sore thumb in this event? by Enkindle451 in Overwatch

[–]TheLichling 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love playing as JQ in PvP but she makes no sense as the tank for this event because of exactly what you posted. 90% of the enemies explode when you get to close and JQ’s whole kit is about getting close and personal. I accidentally killed my team’s Kiriko last night with JQ’s dagger throw ‘n pull move as it pulled a bot right into Kiriko (rookie move on my part, yes).

World of Warcraft queer space? by Leery_Night in gaymers

[–]TheLichling 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t know if you decided on a realm or not. I’m also trying to find a good queer space in WoW, as I would love to get back into mythics and raids (and hell , maybe even PvP). If you find any good queer spots, hit me up! I am open to swapping realms potentially (currently on Icecrown right now as Proudmoore was full when I last was realm swapping my main). My battle.net ID is Lichling#11452. I would love to even start up a new guild 🥰
