My favorite one of these is a Barrens quest where you had to get 8 dino heads for a hunting quest. As people found out, there was not a 100% chance to get a dino head when you killed a dino. Blizzard later patched this. Lurdiak posted:With the introduction of phasing in the WotLK expansion, WoW became the first MMO where your actions seemed to have any effect at all on the game world. You'd get dropped into a town being overrun by skeletons, kill some skeletons, then suddenly the town would be secure and have vendors and stuff. It was neat, and certainly a welcome change from how Vanilla WoW had quest givers explcitly tell you you didn't really make a difference after all but thanks for trying. Yeah I really liked this. I regret not sticking around a little longer after Wrath but oh well, in 5 years I can probably get the whole thing F2P.

If you're gonna make a poster of Llane, King of Stormwind, the very least you can do is put a goddamned crown on the king to show his importance in a visual medium. Cripes.

I am having difficulties even telling who that actor is because he just looks so bland. I have made a semi-joking point about this before, but to me the most alarming sign about this is that there is not a single actor I recognize. Never mind the awful visuals, they couldn't even get John Hurt or something? Who are all these people? edit: Aw poo poo, that's Ben Foster. I like Ben Foster  And looking at the cast, it's a little more stacked than I initially thought. But not by much.

For me the most off-putting thing is the whole "two worlds, one home", "our world is dying, violence is not the answer", "we can have peace!" vibe from the trailers and posters. The first war was blood and violence demon possessed orc slaves fighting an almost traditional human army, none of this gryphon riding diplomacy talking peace loving hippies stuff. Needs more skeletons and giant demon summoning and less of the talky talk. Also those posters look bad

LOL, if anything WoW is infamous for you having absolutely no influence on the gameworld outside of extremely rare world events usually done once ever for a content expansion, in which your effect on the game world was something like "your server unlocked the content first!" Goldshire and the Barrens are basically testaments to how absolutely stale WoW is.

OneThousandMonkeys posted:LOL, if anything WoW is infamous for you having absolutely no influence on the gameworld outside of extremely rare world events usually done once ever for a content expansion, in which your effect on the game world was something like "your server unlocked the content first!" Yes but WoW introduced phasing in WotLK, which allowed areas to change according to which quests you'd done and occasionally which choices you'd make. Most zones have a few areas where you can destroy/save/rebuild an area at the very least with a visible impact. Which is what they were talking about. Obviously it doesn't amount to players actually changing the world. It's an MMO.

Needs more skeletons and giant demon summoning and less of the talky talk. The bulk of the intended audience for this movie played either Warcraft 3 and/or WoW, where a decent chunk of the first two game's tenets were either ignored or retconned away. The trailers show that there's Green Orcs and Brown Orcs, just not the kind depicted in WC 1 or 2.

Speaking of art: http://www.comicbookresources.com/article/warcraft-gets-prequel-bonds-brotherhood-ogn-from-legendary quote:Legendary's "Warcraft" feature film from director Duncan Jones arrives in theaters on June 10. Fans will now be able to get a head start on the film's world thanks to a new graphic novel published by Legendary Comics -- "Warcraft: Bonds of Brotherhood." Apparently it's written by the great Paul Cornell, so if anyone criticizes the story it's just proof we're not sophisticated enough to appreciate his genius.

This movie won't be a good movie, it'll be a bad movie. But the Orcs look like they have real weight behind them when they move, which is something.

The way the Travis Fimmel talks is probably going to ruin this for me. Also I did not like Ruth Negga as Raina at all. So another thing to ruin the movie for me .
