People hate on wow too much as a general concept. They believe because the story doesn't go a specific way or there are some retcons for the sake of expanding the universe or whatever. That they've ruined the game. The lore has always been implied to at least be Legend

BFA was hated for how it played. Sylvanas plot armor didn’t help.

I haven't done the Horde side so I can't speak on that, but I felt like the Kul'Tiran stuff just didn't explain anything clearly enough. I'm doing it again on an alt right now so maybe I'll follow it better this time, but my first time through it just felt like a whole lot of nothing happening, then suddenly Old Gods and the Horde. Maybe it's because I never made it far into the War Campaign, idk. Also the zone designs on both sides are kind of stagnant imo. Kul'Tiras all feel like the same zone, but just a little different - Tiragarde Sound, then more land, then it's spooky. Zandalar is jungle, more jungle, then desert. Kind of bland if you ask me. Realistic, sure, I can't argue with that. But I play WoW for escapism, not realism. At least for the most part.

😎 thanks for watching them

Yea, she explicitly spared all the humans except for Calia who was a neutral party

fair enough, i’ll hold the L on this one as long as i got everything else right

@@Lawllin everything else was pretty accurate. One mistake doesn't invalidate the entire video. Good job on it.

​@@kingia100to be fair she did provoke sylvanas it's kinda her fault they all got killed

I'm just curious, how did sylvannas knew about Shadowlands that by breaking the crown of lich king, it will open a rift?

​@@jdmayor9060it's called shitty writing by blizzard.

thanks a lot! im happy you liked the videos, hopefully you’ll like the other warcraft story related vids to come

I just binged on the whole series this weekend after barely finding you :( sad to hear series is ending

I'm happy you enjoyed the videos! I am sorry to say that I won't be making a Shadowlands lore video. BFA is the last warcraft Lore Recap im making- but i'll still be posting other warcraft related videos in the videos in the future (just not lore ones). Thanks again for watching, I am really glad you liked the videos

@@Lawllin I don't see how BFA is more infamous. BFA isn't good but leagues above FORCED-LANDS which is by far the worst expansion and the expansion that caused the most players to leave.

ty glad you enjoyed the videos. hopefully you’ll like the other warcraft related videos

Pog, i hope it lived up to your excitement!

ty, i love your comment!

oh damn, jus finished this one.. guess you said this is where it ends for you. well, it was a good ride none the less! thanks for the great content man

@MokuTom thanks a lot for watching! glad you enjoyed the videos

I just noticed you are not continuing the lore series, but thank you for the time you have put into all of the other lore videos!

ty ty

I checked out of wow lore when they released the cutscene at the end of wotlk when they said “there must always be a lich king”. i realized that wow is game and they’re always gonna put the gameplay first and story second (which i dont think is a bad thing btw). but it does make my views 100% cynical when it comes towards the story of the game- cause how much of the plot was thought out before the zone boss or new gameplay feature? for me, bfa was always gonna ring hollow because i dont care about the war between the horde and alliance. it’s a war that means nothing because WoW has been determined to keep the two factions separate, so there will never be a real tangible change to the status quo of the world. “oh no, darnassus is gone! i go there all the time” said no one, ever. they could blow up silvermoon in the next expansion and it would have even less of an impact. what i should say instead of ranting is; basically that i felt that a lot of the story in bfa is that there is a lot of set up for a dramatic conflict between the horde and alliance. a conflict i cynically feel like only exists because the horde and alliance, game mechanically, cannot be friends. and since they cant both be friends BUT they both have to exist for the next expansion- there could never be a satisfying outcome to the conflict. instead, as usual, a greater threat emerges and the good parts of the horde team up with the alliance and they defeat the ultimate bad villain, and the world resets back to neutral standings. i mean, sylvanas just disappears, completely gives up whatever she was trying to do and switches plans to breaking the lich king’s helmet. which i feel like, she could have done from the start of the expansion. when i was making these videos i treated the story as charitably as i could. because, unfortunately, from my perspective i only see the actions of these characters as a way to justify new gameplay and not as actions made to tell a compelling story. thrall didnt give up doomhammer because he was unworthy, he gave it up for shamans to have a legendary weapon. wrathion didnt open up a portal to past draenor to get an army, he did it so players could see all the orcs from warcraft 1 and 2. i wish i could give a satisfying answer to your very polite, well thought out, and even funny question. but im too much of a jaded piece of shit to engage with it honestly. i havent played dragonflight, i am genuinely happy you are enjoying it so far. i dont want my lack of appreciation or enjoyment of this game (or its story) to stop anyone from liking it. upon reflection, pretend i didnt say any of this and i’ll just respond with this: I don’t know dude, im just a guy who keyframes hearthstone cards across the screen lmao ty for the comment i hope you enjoyed the video!

@@Lawllin No, i agree with alot what you said here. I quit caring for wow lore too way back when legion ended. I realised that wow could never have a true ending and, even self-contained character stories could also never truely end in a satisfiying way. It also then clicked that the story and setting was just for the "aesthetic", it didnt matter as much as the actual game did. BfA to me atleast builds an interesting premise; the world is bleeding out, but instead of being concerned for the worlds safety the factions fight over the blood to secure it as a resource. You could build so much intrigue and drama with azerite as a tool for storytelling. But its again just barely used in the story- more used as a gameplay gimmick and the actual lore is about stuff that could only end in one uninteresting way. Like you said, the factions are a gameplay necessity unable to conclude in any way. The artifacts are as good as destroyed- just because they need to be for the next batch of systems to replace them next expansion, same goes for the heart of azeroth. I started playing again with dragonflight after taking a break since legion as i mentioned ,and they pulled me back into the lore and thats simply because on how the characters are written. What amazed me is that there is a conclusive end to a character arcs in this expansion, for both wrathion and kalecgos. A new character, sarkareth, has his self contained fall from grace and we see what happens when someone goes actually insane trying to chase a legacy lost long ago. Its nothing new, you can find plenty of that sort of stuff in both wow and way better forms of media but i dunno, it just made me want to learn a bit more about the world again.

most likely not, sorry. i have some warcraft related vids in the works but this is the last lore recap from me

LMAO that's actually so funny! I forgot to show the whole thing. It says "precious little poopsie" which what the Ursala calls her eels in the Little Mermaid (and more specifically in her boss battle in Kingdom Hearts) but also that boss is annoying so he can be a precious little poop too

big thanks from Pennsylvania

naa sorry

shame, but i guess it's for the better. you would have gone completely insane @@Lawllin
