Chris Metzen on the Worldsoul Saga | WoWCast

[@srempert11]

However you feel about WoW after all these years, you cannot deny the passion for story and games that Metzen has. I’d love to be in those story planning meetings.

There are probably writers in those meetings who dont feel this way about Metzen but just want to impose their own ideas.

doesn't matter they are filtering comments.

[@EmileVinesh]

Chris Metzen being back, and him being the Executive Creative Director of the Warcraft universe, fills me with hope for the future storylines in Warcraft.

[@fourjhin_cookies]

@JamailvanWestering He wrote up until some BFA stuff, but he also wrote Arthas Illidan Varian Uther etc who are many people's favorite characters.

[@jakubpelikan2393]

Story was never reason why WoW is in such bad shape. Its gameplay and gamedesing physolophie whats killing this game.

[@Hockey7234]

They paid him SO much money to come back, im sure.

[@JamailvanWestering]

@@jakubpelikan2393 dude story is one of the biggest reasons this game is floundering so badly. The gameplay is usually inspired by story of the expansion..

[@gorilla30100]

[@ShonenXIV]

Chris Metzen, the moment he came back to blizzcon, he just brought life and energy to the stage. The ones before him were stiff, awkward and were just reading their scripts. But Chris spoke from the heart, to our level. Even Ian had life in him when explaining rhe features, he isn't perfect but he does like what he does.
