[@DrevosSoul]

@@michaelmiller7465 its by far, the worst zone in the whole game, aggro on enemies big as fuck, number of mobs is 2 much and they cluster together, very high lv enemies and few just are 6+ higher than others yet walk the same terrain with them with still big ass aggro, its a very terrible place AND contested territory WITH a raid instance so level 60 will be around everywhere so you honestly have a .05% to do anything there besides the class quests and attunement quests

Every city in WOW is suppose to be a lot larger in lore than it is in the game. The War Crimes book makes a reference to Ogrimmar and how it has these large slums.

[@BierBart12]

Stormwind in the movie is absolutely massive and I love it All the artistic renditions of the cities are amazing. Just imagine if the cities were the size of an entire GTA world map Also, the entire city of Ironforge used to have multiple stories of buildings in the WoW alpha. I think there were 3 levels spanning the entire ring, but they decided to massively downsize it because they thought players would be too dumb and not find their way around it.

[@HeatherSchrivener-el2mx]

Honestly they were probably right, maybe not about their players’ level of intelligence but definitely about their level of mental investment.

[@Vidar93]

​@@BierBart12A fun thing with Ironforge in classic they actually had the whole section of old ironforge designed and it was deep in ironforge and was filled with lava and these huge rock formations and things but it was blocked off for players. There was a way you could duel someone inside the City and if they feared you, you could clip through a wall to get under there. It was one of those areas cut that kinda added to the scope of how large the city is

"Janina was good friends with Thrall" * takes a look at the thumbnail * Thrall, #1 Chad of the Horde

[@Masterwar15]

The reason why there's still men loyal to Jaina is because in the end she DID save their asses from getting OBLITERATED by the Legion and the Scourge. And they saw her fighting in Mount Hyjal. They weren't even from Kul'Tiras, most of them were from Lordaeron, and THEY fought alongside the Horde in Hyjal too. Some dude from a bygone era that wasn't even from their own kingdom probably wasn't enough to fuck their loyalty to her. She was the only reason they were still alive, and if they sided with Daelin they would've meet the same fate. It is true that they could've gone back to Eastern Kingdoms and just don't give a crap about Kalimdor ever again, dunno what happened there.

[@user-qs8kh5dn5w]

[@carloscrispens4816]

True and in the campaign Jaina ask Thrall not to harm her men among her father's soldiers. I don't know how much this is lore related or even possible in real time of war but she asked for it.

[@drekbleh7081]

7:46 I always presumed that Jaina's forces in Theramore are her leftover army from mount Hyjal and the survivors of Stratholme wearing her family's crest rather than them being survivors of her father's army

[@drekbleh7081]

Something I just realised after rereading this The last fight against Jaina's dad had a failstate if you destroy certain buildings - those of her forces conceding to her father's orders due to well feudalism(you're my kid's vassals so you're mine too). This is important because the alliance and horde who fought together to save the world still persevered each other because they mutually valued one another - proving her dad wrong. That the horde wasn't some war mongering and blood thirsty bastards vying to kill and enslave everyone. He was too blind by old prejudices to see that. This narrative promotes awareness and understanding towards your most hated enemies - failing to do so strands his forces to patrol a hostile swamp. Bitter that the fastest(only?) Way home is in the hands of "traitors" ...then Garrosh just nukes theramore off the goddamn map with the proud howling of blood thirsty orcs-proving daddy Daelin was right... I hate modern Blizzard writing

[@Regunes]

@@drekbleh7081 Yeah Garrosh's move was absurd. It's wrong on so many levels that anyone from the horde bar the remnants of the shadow council (who were mostly culled) would and should have opposed that.

[@foulmoodcentral2830]

@@drekbleh7081 Spot on, Daelin fought in three long wars against the Orcs and knew only the Demon-Empowered Horde that came through the portal, lead by Blackhand, Gul'dan and eventually Orgrim Doomhammer. he was a veteran of so many past conflicts that he saw Jaina just being played by nature of her youth and naivety, he wasn't there to hear the words of Medivh or see what both factions fought for at mount Hyjal however. so he couldn't understand. in a twist of irony and rather sick humor he was proven right when the Horde switched Warchiefs. it took another Hellscream from Draenor to destroy the dream of peace that Jaina had held so dear and believed in for many years.

[@foulmoodcentral2830]

@@Regunes Garrosh was being affected by the old gods, his paranoid warmongering was spurred on by the need to prove himself a adequate Warchief, Thrall left him in charge but almost no-one thought he was up to the task at the time, he was deemed too young by the likes of Cairn, and too reckless and hungry for glory by the likes of Vol'Jin and Varok Saurfang. Garrosh was left a former powerstructure that he was inexperienced dealing with, (imagine being the youngest employee in a company and told by your old boss your in charge now whilst surrounded by his former colleages all wondering what the guy was thinking) throughout Cataclysm and early Mists Garrosh is remaking the Horde as he envisioned it and that was heavily influenced by the culture and stories of the Old Horde. in a sense incompatible with the Horde that Thrall had forged. and then the Sha of Pride happenend. at the beginning Garrosh was greatly ashamed and depressed when we first find him in Outland, not knowing his father's sacrifice and legacy. when Thrall told him everything and brought him back to Azeroth he developed the first beginnings of his immense pride that we all later know him for.

Yea, the new horde is basically turning into Alliance 2.0 due to the incesant crybabies in forums complaining that the horde was the "grey" faction, and not the purely good one. The horde was at it's coolest when it was a mixture between good and evil ideas.

[@strider8662]

@@simonsalgueiro6217 Horde wasnt a 'grey' faction back then, it was quite literally the black one. First horde is pretty much unforgivably antagonistic and evil. Alliance of Lordearon could be considered grey given the fact that they werent that innocent either. Honestly it was fine for me, I like having a faction that is inherently evil but not everyone was.

[@simonsalgueiro6217]

@@strider8662 Na, i would say it was grey. You had Thrall, who was trying to change orc society and Taurens, which are inherently good. Yea, there were forsaken, trolls and orcs, but from those races the only one really "evil" were the forsaken. And the Alliance is a "good" faction. That it did some questionable things doesn't change that the general feeling blizzard wanted to give regarding the alliance was the "gondor" treatment. But, yea, it definetly was much better. And more interesting. At least we got garrosh and Sylvanas (not saying the narrative was excellent, but at least it allowed the horde to be that mix of evil and good cultures fighting internally)

I much prefer the idea that Gadgetzhan was ALWAYS that big, to the weird idea that the sea moving closer made it bigger. Because Steamwheedle port in Vanila-wrath served fine as a deep water port, but the ocean moving in covered the fresh water wells in salt water, and made the ocean far more shallow (Then again in WC3 there's shallow water where infantry can walk and battleships can sail, so "Minimum draft" is not something Blizzard gives a shit about.
