The ONLY way Blizzard is getting another cent out of me is if they start offering official patch capped servers for anyone who owns the required expansions and has an active sub. Cata was the last straw in my book, and until they start offering 1.12.1 or 2.4.2, at minimum, they're dead to me.
I must admit too, it does look tempting. I've been a Warcraft fan since I was 10 years old. But I feel I'm to far removed from the game to start again. Me thinks I'll just watch the cutscenes.
No, I just meant that it was in the game and was part of the story. The first two expansions weren't *about* time travel, but time travel existed. And I honestly enjoyed the way it was done.
The time travel bits in Cataclysm were pretty dumb, except for the one with Illidan.
@Danny Honey Badger Milligan: there has been time travel ever since Burning Crusade Durnhold, Black Morass, Mount Hyjal raid all took place in the past.
Lich king had you fighting the undead with Prince Arthas before he was corrupted.
[url=#user_comment_338181]@LockeZ[/url]: What on earth are you talking about? There was no time travel in Burning Crusade or Wrath of the Lich King, we were experiencing new and present history, not the past.

Are we going to fight two Burning Legions now(past and present)?
Although an entire time travel centric *expansion pack* is arguably ridiculous, I actually loved the use of time travel in the first two expansions, because it let them show Warcraft 2 and Warcraft 3 stories in WoW, and those were the best stories.
And they're using it for that purpose again, so.

another expansion allready? so that's why pandaria was 50% off that one time.

i’m a lore nerd. give me some wiki about a random universe and i’ll read about it.
warcraft 3 (+TFT) lore was amazing. the game’s story + background were epic. WoW? clusterfuck of handwaved bullshit to accomodate gameplay. i mean the orcs join the undead after thrall has built durotar? WTF?
After getting burned out on Cataclysm, the only real way they'd get me back in is if they went FtP like a lot of others are doing... Also going up against yet more orcs as the raid bosses and whatnot just feels like they copy/pastaed Pandaria.

Make a joke on how shitty WoW. People will get your point.
Don't worry they agree with you. They only play it cause they paid for it and they spent so much time grinding to lvl 90 they jsut can't quit.
If you have done some of the quests on timeless isle you can see that this was coming

Ok, so why does no one here complains about it being a Wow comic? Everytime Jo does a Dota2 comic everybody is whining to the high heavens, so now that I'm the one not to get the joke, what am I supposed to say again? "This is why Wow sucks?" Or does it only work in one direction?
Am I the only one who thinks that time travel = shark jumping?

[url=#user_comment_338148]@LockeZ[/url]: The Garrosh time travel into past so he could screw us over thing was explained during blizzcon itself. They just didn't bother posting the plot online.
Yeah, pretty sure Jo misunderstood something. Garrosh isn't mentioned at all anywhere in the new expansion's website or press release. The old horde already existed; Garrosh isn't creating it.
The website doesn't say at any point why we ARE going into the past, which is weird.
Man.... I saw the trailer an I'm like.... I don't need it... I don't need it... And when draenor came into play and I love me the Draenei I'm like... I NEED IT!

Not looking forward to this. Focussing on the -one- main badass means the story is built and *fixed* around this one, leading to a shallow story arc. Many other characters with their own goals that they try to achieve would save it, I guess.
[post 1/2]
While the concept of time travel sounds cool it's always a sign that the story writers run out of good ideas. Sure, we did see that coming because it was an idea that was constantly kicked around within the game. *bad boys music* The time travel concept killed plenty of TV shows already.
