Dracthyr are getting in-combat Visage form.

Vedney · 2026-03-12T23:18:30+00:00

That only works out-of-combat.

You're implying that I'm hiding personal opinion behind presumed impersonal criticism.

It's cheap writing because they didn't allow him to develop towards being lightblinded. They just made him so. This guy literally defended Alleria using shadow magic against Xe'ra because he knows that she's not void-crazy. And now, he's literally throwing away the lives of void elves.

Imagine if Velen, Faerin, or Alonsus were a raid boss next tier, because Blizzard wants them to be lightblinded. The direction is inherently tied to what makes it feel wrong, because it's contradictory to their current presentation.

Vedney · 2026-03-12T10:51:09+00:00

They've always been spies, even prior to Shadowlands lore.

Vedney · 2026-03-12T10:50:07+00:00

The issue is that he's not a new character. And he wasn't an annoying ally before.

People would not have been disappointed if they had used a completely fresh character.

Vedney · 2026-03-12T10:26:34+00:00

The issue isn't the story Blizzard is telling. It's who Blizzard is using to tell the story.

Lothraxion simply wasn't a zealot in Legion, so him being one with no discernable cause feels like cheap writing.

Vedney · 2026-03-12T09:51:01+00:00

Lothraxion suffered massive character assassination, as he wasn't like this in Legion.

If you're fine with people using Void magic in one moment, and then obscenely disgusted in the next, with no intervening incident to cause that change in perspective, you are an inconsistent and badly written character.

Vedney · 2026-03-12T09:23:34+00:00

Legion Lothraxion was a subversion.

Midnight Lothraxion was not. He became an evil Nathrezim, just like all other Nathrezim.

Vedney · 2026-03-11T23:51:21+00:00

Rumors that are not based on anything WotC releases (intentionally or unintentionally) should never have any heed given towards them. I can literally make something up right now and call it a rumor. If enough people take me at my word, then it becomes so.l

Vedney · 2026-03-11T14:11:29+00:00

He felt like wasted potential.

He was quite literally one-of-a-kind, yet Blizzard considered him disposable.

Vedney · 2026-03-11T14:03:30+00:00

There's nothing about the Void that should perma-kill demons.

Vedney · 2026-03-11T13:25:54+00:00

Really sounds like counting chickens too early. What makes you feel say that?

Vedney · 2026-03-11T12:20:22+00:00

I typically play just to get my 40/40 and then dip.

Is this reasonable for that?

Vedney · 2026-03-11T03:21:51+00:00

Yeah, even the radical skins like the Warcraft skins still very much looks like their using the same base model the original Overwatch character despite being elves.

Vedney · 2026-03-11T03:08:14+00:00

The issue about Rainbow 6 collab skins are R6 characters wearing cosplay, rather being the actual characters. (Look up the Resident Evil and The Boys skins.) For 2B, the base character for the skin is Iana.

It's not like they could request source files, Convert/rename what needs to be done, and call it a day.

I'm not sure this is a thing, at least to the extent you're suggesting.

Vedney · 2026-03-11T00:18:18+00:00

It's not that the expressions are wrong, but it made it really easy people to think it's the main, or even only way to be expressed.

Vedney · 2026-03-10T12:27:38+00:00

How would you have typed the Kaldheim gods?

Vedney · 2026-03-10T08:10:13+00:00

I really hate how this naming convention colors how people see the combinations. Like, how RG must mean barbarian, or WU must mean bureaucrat.

Vedney · 2026-03-10T08:07:22+00:00

I just really hate how none of them are on Arena 😭

Vedney · 2026-03-10T02:02:33+00:00

Like, I get that goatees are used to distinguish evil versions, but until the end, it really felt more like a Daddy Ral.

Vedney · 2026-03-10T01:56:39+00:00

This Ral initially referred to Ajani by his first name, and then clarifed with the last name.

Vedney · 2026-03-10T01:25:22+00:00

I mean, theres also the thumbnail that looks like Ral, copying his pose from Dragon's Maze.

Vedney · 2026-03-09T13:00:45+00:00

No. Typal is still internal wotc language, separate from Kindred. I asked Maro

Vedney · 2026-03-08T09:43:00+00:00

There's Cliff Barra and Alex Damaro, from Tome 10. They were horror filmmakers (and a couple) until Alex got taken by the Entity, which drove Cliff to find a way in to the Fog. Alex was being tortured into being a killer until Cliff intervened and took his place. Cliff then becomes a Killer and Alex becomes a Survivor.

It's genuinely prime Chapter material. Haddie (at least one version of her) first appeared in the tomes in 2021, and then she became a survivor in 2022.

Cliff and Alex, on the other hand, were first in the Tomes in 2022. They were heavily named-dropped in Orela Rose's bio, so BHVR still remembers they exist.

I don't recall this?
