cry me a river about the lore.

some of us don't know and don't care about it. I played all of the warcraft games and honestly cant remember what the back story is. i like the game because its fun to me, not because i want to play a historical battle of some fantasy story.

some people are just too into the history of games and fiction. the people crying about the lore are probably the same people who point out that in episode 121 of star trek the enterprise fired a blue beam when in episode 112 it clearly fired a red beam, what happened.

the bottom line is that they are looking to make money like everyone else and i know that i am looking forward to it.
and yes, i said worgen vs goblins... WTF and then I realized that yes, they are giving the factions what they are missing, the horde a small race and the alliance a large one.

That's because the red beam was from the alternate reality universe. Through a Mirror, Darkly was the title of the 2 part episode.

HA!

Im just saying by the preview there adding squig looking beasts. Skrew my old hunter im rerolling a goblin hunter, getting a squig like pet and going bm. Other then that I think it would have been a bit cooler if Alliance got their lame ol worgen and Horde got Arrakoa (possibly wrong spelling... but those giant birdy people in bc?)

If you want to be a Squig Herder why not just play Warhammer Online?

Because warcraft's 3 spec system per class really plays differently compared to warhammer's .
Yes i love the design of how warhammer online looks , but thats not enough to keep me in the game , game play is just awful.

I don't think he is talking about Warcraft 3. Considering the basic gameplay is similiar to WoW's (which of course was similiar to DaoC) I imagine you must also dislike WoW as well. Did you ever get past Teir 1 in WAR? Participate in a 24+ person raid on Keeps? The first teir of the game isn't very representational of later game dynamics. There are things to dislike, such as putting more time into expansions than fixing bugs or not having all the capitols ready. Being favorable to WoW's gameplay while thrashing WARs, which is essentially a refined version of WoW's doesn't make a lot of sense. The class's are much more balanced for PvP as well having been designed from the start for PvP and not a later edition.

Pffft, silence moaners :p

I'm really looking forward to Cataclysm ^^ it's about time the old content got an overhaul. And as for the Worgen and Goblins, I'm fine with both of them

And yeah, another Furry race is Blizzard's perogative. A large swathe of WoW players are furries, and would usually play Tauren, giving them a slightly less bovine race is a positive step forward, if you don't like 'em don't roll as them

Also flying mounts in Azeroth is pretty cool, and I dunno, but Heroic Deadmines??? That's just freaking sweet!!!

Ya i know , i meant to say WoW .

I never even played warcraft .

One thing that killed the game completely and utterly for me is that..

Tauren Palidins.

SERIOUSLY WTFQQSAUCE?!?!

destroyed the great law of the game which was hard earned due to them wanting m0re money.

i pity those who are going to get WoW catalysm or w/e...

fixed your typo.
god, how could you miss that...

mmmm i wounder if deathwings voice will be at all like it was on Warcraft 2...

man... good times playing warcraft 1, and 2... 3 meh. by far the BEST warcraft game is warcraft 2.

dang, now i wish my PC was slow enough to play it



i shall search the basement and attic for a forgotten relic of tech that can play it.

Tauren paladins are a stupid idea. Tauren can't tap into the Light, they have their own goddess called the Earth-Mother, which is why they have druids, but not priests or paladins.

Orc mages are almost as bad. Orcs can't tap into the arcane magic, which is why they instead rely on warlocks and shamans. Why warlocks can even be good guys is beyond me, as Thrall explicitly ordered the demonic arts to be abandoned when he formed the New Horde in Warcraft III, as they inevitably lead to corruption and madness.

And they're having the next huge content patch, and subsequent patches leading up to Cataclysm setting the stage for the new race/class combos...

They're not just saying HEY LOOK! Tauren Paladins! LOL!

Aye, the two Tauren who have the conversation about not serving all of their true selves (or whatever, something about they should be serving the sun/light as well as the moon) have appeared in Thunderbluff in the main game now, not just the test servers.

So Blizz are making steps in that direction. Of course not playing Horde for months (more like a year and a bit) I've been surprised by a fair few cosmetic changes.

Stuff like the warrior Quarter in UC, and that freaky statue appearing outside Thrall's palace.
