Hey dad, I think you dropped this back in Karazhan
Time to get that for transmog now.

My Felguard rolls with it.
I just hate Karazhan, the fact you have to do the chess event to even get to the last boss has me not wanting to do it. lol
Did the changes in WoD that Blizz did to some raids in that you could skip certain bosses include Kara?

Nope. You can't skip it.
Also I spoiled myself about the end boss of WoD, its in this interview:
Spoilers and all that. I thought they said it wasn't going to be
an Orc

Not even his real son though, given the alternate universe + timeline. Garrosh's daddy issues span multiverses. This is some Marvel level shit.
Yoshi now haunts all the hype trains. :<

Tom Chilton doesn't remember that he forced players seeking a cloak to grind 6k valor.
Can't view it at work, but I was told it was only revealed to be
an orc
Grom
Gul'dan with a Kil'Jaeden phase 3
Chess event is soloable. I can't say I 100% successfully one-shot it every time, but it is pretty easy to solo. My success rate is probably about 67%.
I just take control of the Warlock (Queen) and spam damage at range on the enemy King until it dies. On some occasions I will lose the Queen, and then just switch to other nearby pieces. Usually you're ahead enough in damage to just keep trading and win. Basically never heal.
Before the King moves into the Queen's range you can move some other pieces forward on the board, and they'll auto-engage things with a basic melee attack if there are enemy pieces directly in front of yours.

I don't think he forgot... I think he was trying to play it off because he already admitted 4k was grindy. Still, don't do that shit again. *growls*

From that video
"Farahlon, it's kind of ambiguous whether or not that is the same kind of area as Ashran, whether it's an island just north of it or whether it is Ashran itself, there are a lot of different ways we can approach that, but we'll have to wait and see."
lolwat. CALLING IT NOW. Farahlon cut. "It was Ashran all along guys!"

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
I am alive.
Something unbelievable happened during Gamescom, involving Bloodborne. Don't want to go into the details, but something something, hype, something something, heart, something something, doctor, something something, relax or suffer the consequences.
I did this on purpose. It was needed. This'll be a recurring thing in the future, for my own safety

Now about the cinematic, did you watch?

Going to right now :3. I've managed to avoid everything so far, I have the Youtube video up. A glass of wine and a piece of bread (just cheese on it) next to me.
I think I'm gonna do it any second now. Just need to make sure I don't explode... I've been close a few times.
you wont be dissapointed.
It's okay, let it all out, you're among friends.

So Grommash is the end boss of WoD? Kinda like his son Garry?
I don't believe it. Why would they reveal it so early?
Cpt.Underpants

Yeah, I don't like it either
Ok Garrisons are pretty cool, cinematic convinced me to finally log into beta.
That shattered Hand cinematic was cool as hell too. Kargoth and Grom have been my favorite since Beyond the Dark Portal came out (Where Grom sounded like a fucking psychopath, shame that's been gone forever).

we always know who the last boss is, MoP was the exception
Okay, I know what's going on, it's not the real Grommash, it's Kil'jaeden with http://www.wowhead.com/item=1973
That's the twist.
That's the twist.

I love Pokken!
I'm not buying it. Still think
AU Medivh/Avatar of Sargeras
why are you spoiling predictions. predictions arent spoilers. they are not facts. people really go overboard with spoiler tags these days
With alternate realities it's everything is possible.
Honestly the biggest kick in the nuts is that they spent the better part of the last decade+ explaining that orcs aren't really that bad...
...only to make orcs bad guys again.
Arc building 101,
anyone talk about this yet? new UBRS will be available at 90 with 6.0 (and then again at 100 of course)

Here's a quote from the MoP cinematic-days - what I think of all the WoW intros. And I take these things seriously. Yes, I know I'm the minority when it comes to Cataclysm but it's the perfect intro in my opinion.

It's a pity that they went with this route and I'm hoping that the old style will be present for future cinematics. With this nitpick to the side, we see Gul'dan, the most bad ass orc that Blizzard's ever created, pouring some fine beverage to our beloved orc, Grom. This time however, he refuses. Garrosh 'nods' when Grom looks back at him before pouring it out - so they must've planned this out before-hand. I find it weird that Garrosh was dressed in 'subtle' clothes - would things have turned out differently if they saw father and son on the mountain?
BEST PART INCOMING!
Grom fucking helldives onto Mannoroths forehead and Garrosh saves him from the exploding blast that kills him in WC3. That's absolutely fucking brilliant.
WORST PART INCOMING!
Gul'dan: This... was not our destiny... *sad demonic puppy eyes*
Come the fuck on, Blizzard! Why do you hate my orc Gul so fucking much? Why'd you make him pansy like this? The real Gul'dan wouldn't have spillt the stuff in front of Garrosh. And the worst part about all of this? At this point, Gul'dan isn't aware that he's pussying out to Garrosh - this might've well just been one random fucking orc that Gul'dans 'bowing' to.
WORST PART'S OVER.
Garrosh throws Grom his axe (god, Gorehowl is frikkin' amazing but it looks pale and tiny when a big orc like Grom wields it)!
And then, we get to see Dark Portal. And it's beautiful. The music reaches its peak and for the first time in 10 years, we see the World of Warcraft logo -not 'explode' onto the screen- but rather animate itself in. And... I think I like it? I like the old '*BOOM* World of Warcraft, bitches' more, but this looks sexy no doubt!
Other than that, besides Mannoroth exploding, I'm not getting any nostalgia out of this. Identical to the MoP cinematic, the music is forgettable. Then again, it's much easier to bring out the nostalgia-music in TBC/Wrath/Cata (Illidans theme, Arthas my Son and Azeroth burning while Stormwinds theme rocks in the background).
I'm going to let this cinematic sink in, and I'm also going to rate it in the order I see fit. My old rating was:
Cata > TBC > Wrath > MoP > Vanilla
I'm going to retcon this because the MoP cinematic became worse the more times I watched it. The current rating is:
Cata > TBC > Wrath > Vanilla > WoD > MoP
They are all, of course, fantastic cinematics and I wish Blizzard would just make a movie with this quality
Okay so the cinematic starts up and the login screen drums into play. The camera pans up and we see Ashenvale (?), it's beautiful. Suddenly, "Blizzard Entertainment Presents" and this is where I get frustrated. I am one nit-picky motherfucker when it comes to these cinematics and I'm a HUGE fan of how the "Blizzard Entertainment Presents"-text pops up. If you look at the previous five cinematics, they cut the video and focus on the Blizzard-text (usually with some spine-chilling sound-effect). Every intro shows this perfectly, but here's an example that you can click on:

Yeah that doesn't give me any hope. Guess it was cut due to Tanaan being pushed back.
Just a part of it I think, though. At 90, I mean. Still, something new to do.
They mentioned it at the event. Which says to me, it'll be a FoS when WoD launches.
LAUGHTREY
Modesty becomes a woman
Saurfang is Blackrock clan.
Do you mean Orcs racial leader? Cause I think it's still Thrall.
I think their notion about using scenarios mainly as a storytelling device is misguided and it's a flat out bad idea. Didn't they initially say that scenarios were meant as replacement for zone group quests?
I don't like relying on scenarios, raids or pretty much anything social to convey a plot (at least via scripted scenes as they usually tend to do). When you get in them you're always going to feel pressured by the rest of the group to just RUSH RUSH RUSH through the content and skip all the story parts.

RETCONS
Kargath no longer cut his hand off because he became a grunt. He cut his hand off ti become a better murderer at Nagrand arena. Because of reasons. The ever-changing hand he cut off doesn't matter any more either.
Life finds a way. Shattered Hand Clan was supposed to exist beforehand (and Kargath had risen to be their Chieftain), but now Kargath's action set up the Clan? Ok.
Retcons are in full force now. Everything about pre-Dark Portal is now being retconned, nothing is safe.
Oh right, Korkron is not a Clan, my bad.
What if by the end of the expansion this new timeline will be the new main timeline, making the Cataclysm obselete and therefore they can bring back old Orgrimmar.
YAYAYAYAYAYAYYA!!!
okay, enough lore talk for tonight, let's go back to this gem.
