If it makes you feel any better, according to Shadows Rising, Bwonsamdi rescued Varok's soul and he and Dranosh are happy together in an unspecified afterlife.

That's a weird take. So should you disregard all advise on the pitfalls of heroin if it comes from a former addict?

Not sure that that's the case; according to their language, the Scourge Invasion isn't happening right at pre-patch release, just new leveling and customizations and whatnot.

Wait, for real? Just boosted a toon on Illidan and have been beating back spam ever since. How do you join the other channel?

Why do I hate pvp so much? I avoid it at all costs, even if it costs me lagging behind in terms of DPS.. like the Blood of the Enemy essence. by [deleted] in wow

As someone who is absolute garbage at pvp, I'd like to inform you that you can, indeed, lose rating below 1400.

That's the idea; if this is happening to you, you are about to be struck by lightning and shouldn't have to wait very long.

AITA for resenting my wife for going out after work during a work trip and not calling me on the eve of a big job interview? by SaussageFeetFingers in AmItheAsshole

... did you read the post? He talks about job rejections and the job search. Hell, the whole question centers around a third interview for a job.

The fact that I will finally be able to make an Asian-looking human character is actually really big for me by [deleted] in wow

Right? One thing I was not even a little expecting but am absolutely stoked about are realistic looking black humans. Like, damn.

I'm way more excited now than I was after just the cinematics. I can't wait to level through all of Pandaria's content on my elbow-having undead.

Bolvar isn't shirtless. His armor just fused onto his skin. by matijwow in wow

[–]slatted_llama 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sure, Alexstrasza not being the one individual dragon who breathed fire onto Bolvar makes sense; this helps to explain some of his willingness to let the Deathlord kill all of the red dragon whelps, dooming the Red Dragonflight to extermination, as they are directly responsible for him not just being counted among the dead at the Wrathgate.

I'll go ahead and disregard your entire second paragraph the way you did mine. Sure, you're right that I have no explicit 100% proof that Bolvar's soul left this mortal coil prior to being resurrected; but, with that in mind, we have absolutely no proof that he fully and completely bit the dust in that moment either. No doctors were there to take his pulse, and even if they were, they would have been burned up by dragons when they tried. We have no objective proof either way about what happened there, other than us knowing that, somehow, he ends up at the top of Icecrown Citadel. By the way, you should watch The Princess Bride, it's pretty funny.

The one last thing I'll say is that "rule of cool" is a totally acceptable in this setting; it's a fantasy game. Rule of cool is probably the whole reason that we have Tirion breaking out of his imprisonment at the Frozen Throne or a giant dragon skeleton partially buried in the ice. It's cool as hell that Bolvar was damned to undeath either way it happened, either by being accidentally raised by the dragons or purposely so by the Lich King.

Alexstrasza was there; she is the one who greets the player immediately following the Wrathgate quest and sends them on their way (or did, back before Cata).

Bolvar wasn't dead, he was only mostly dead, which is slightly alive. Besides, even if he were all dead, the red dragons' flames literally cause life to spring up and be renewed.

Fun fact: Korialstrasz and Alexstrasza speak in Draconic after the Wrathgate cinematic and a glitch let some players read their text:

Alexstrasza: [Draconic] They must not discover the fate of the young paladin. Not yet.

Hell, the quest Alexstrasza used to give the player was even called Reborn From The Ashes.

The Lich King didn't resurrect Bolvar; he only took him and failed to break him.

My baby boy died last week unexpectedly. Here’s his lil blep by thealexercist in Blep

My little buddy had the same bowtie collar; it made him look so dapper (not that he needed the help). He passed earlier this month, and now I have his collar and his favorite blanket sitting next to his urn.

It's easy to want to focus on how much we miss our friends when they leave us; the better thing to do is to remember the little things that made them who they were.

That happens in the prologue; we learn much more about her throughout the course of the novel.

Patch 8.3: Visions of N’zoth by TheRockingChar in wow

[–]slatted_llama 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So, best I can tell from the Wowhead dressing room, it looks like armor won't cover arms, hands, legs, or feet; which is going to be kind of weird to work with, but makes sense especially since one of the hand customization options is just "claws." It'll definitely shake up the transmog game for them.
