Blizzard/Activision, how far will they fall?

I'm sure some people on the board will say "if they didn't like it they can leave!" lol. Seems to be the reaction some people have whenever these things come up.

Public corporate response was completely out of touch with the how Blizzard promote themselves. Bracks internal email today was a forgettable watered down version of that corporate response.

the newest expansion created a new realm(shadowlands) where souls go after they die. There’s essentially a few gods in the shadowlands and one of them is pretty much the the god of hell(the jailer). So now they’re saying that rather the Lich king being created by the burning legion and nerzhul/arthas/frostmourne eventually becoming its own entity that the jailer actually planned this all along and was manipulating the burning legion into creating the lich king. And that he somehow made the helm of domination and frostmourne instead. The Lich king was supposedly a servant of the jailer the whole time rather than being a boss himself, and that his job was to kill people so their souls go to the shadowlands and big bad guy can absorb their power. So basically everything that happened in wc3 was false and that it was all orchestrated by this jailer who appears 20 years and like 8 expansions later lol. It basically takes a dump on the entire scourge storyline which is a shame cuz arthas was a really good character.

Exactly this. I didn't play the expansions but I heard about the Jailer. And fucking Uther comes back to life or something?

Basically the problem is that nothing means anything anymore. If something happens, it is just made to un-happen later on. After Arthas, the Lich King, the master of the Scourge, and aside from the Titans themselves the most powerful single entity in the WC universe, meets his demise at the hands of ten nameless Mountain Dew-drinking twats, the ghost of Uther tells you that without a Lich King the scourge would become an unstoppable force.

Which makes no fucking sense because the whole premise was that the undead were just scattered, one-off instances of rogue necromancy. The thing that made them a threat to both the Alliance and the Horde was their unity under Ner'Zhul. The Scourge was a manageable foe by itself, used only as a tool by the Legion. The Burning Legion feared its own creation at the thought of it being unified under one spirit.

The more they write this shit-fest the dumber it gets. "There must always be a Lich King." No, there mustn't, you fart nugget.

Thats how I largely felt about Diablo III. The retcons in that really fucked with Diablo I and II lore imo.

God that pisses me off to no end. The plot of Diablo is one of the most somber, awe-inspiring, horrifying narratives ever told. It evokes an exceedingly primal sense of dread, it taps into an evolutionary phenomenon that's as old as our cranial plates.

There is a small, small village housing about 5-10 people. Something happens and everyone starts to act differently. When people go into the small chapel they come out feeling weird. Malaise and paranoia start to roll over the village like a fog. Then one day a fucking skeleton comes out of the church. You find that the embodiment of evil is levels and levels beneath you, and each time you descend you get further away from people, and happen more frequently upon grotesque and hellish nightmares.

That was Diablo. It didn't have a score by John Williams, or a starfight in a goddamn space castle with Cyber-Diablo or some dumb shit. It was so muted and wonderful.

DIE BLIZZARD
 


What a great group of guys. Really surprising all these horrible allegations have come to light.

It’s a 15v15 in the bg but when you have say 100 horde queing versus 45 alliance queing of course the ques will be longer. That is directly a consequence of rolling the more popular faction. At least alliance got those badass loot boxes though. I got 2g and 3 draenic water the other day after losing 3abs in a row(can’t premade anymore) and finally winning one. It only took me like an hour and a half too, huge. Thank god I honor capped in the prepatch cuz farming honor is miserable without premades on alliance. It’s especially annoying cuz blizzard says they care about faction balance but they really haven’t done anything to try and fix it.

So you’re saying alliance players suck because they can’t win without premades?
I get what you’re saying about queue times but yours acting like that is something that was intended and it’s not.

It was a dumb question and she deserved a dumb response. Why are we defending feminists? Men are usually depicted with six packs and massive arms, I don't feel threatened by that.

I don't think asking why women dress like whores is a bad question.

Maybe you did not play WoW. but a ton of armor had different models for men and women. Men would have full platemail, while women would have a plate bikini. It was ridiculous.

I honestly never think of that crap when playing a video game. In my mind, they are trying to create characters that are aesthetically appealing and I believe it applies to both male and female. Most males have good physiques as well and that doesn't represent normal men one bit. I never noticed the equipment stuff because I don't stare at character models close enough. I guess this is part of the whole woke thing that I was never fond of.

If you think this stuff is bad take a look at most video games that come out of Japan.

I'm being serious, why is it a problem for female characters to look feminine? Male characters are usually ripped in video games as well. I didn't take you for the woke type.

By the way, this is totally unrelated to what is happening currently.

I'm specifically talking about that video posted.

no I’m saying better pvpers roll horde because their racials are better for pvp. If you don’t believe me go look at the top arena teams, it’s a pretty heavy majority horde. Horde also have the advantage in AB because the iron triangle is strategically superior to any alliance 3 cap. I’m saying running premades was one of the biggest thing alliance had going for them and now they can’t even do that.


I agree that this faction imbalance wasn’t intended. But their solution to let horde fight horde in bgs to lower their que times but meanwhile give alliance some shit loot boxes for winning isn’t even close to a competent solution.

Lol Japanese are known for drawing characters in this manner. I just dont see the problem with it. Not everything needs to represent reality.

That's the player's choice. There's plenty of armor available in the game if you want to cover up. Don't understand your point. Can't male characters go without body armor as well?

Can you not read or something? He said when you put heavy armour on the character she’s still in a bikini, just a metal one.
