Could fiddle with a concept of her banshee form too, since all dark rangers are ghosts possessing their own corpses. If that lore is still... canon. I think it is?

@support.blizzard.com I normally don't like tagging... But why are we allowing this menace to continue? He needs to go, he needs to be blacklisted and banned before he utterly taints everything you want WoW Forever to be. Take action, please.

Too much negativity lately! If any staff who worked on WoW Forever in any capacity want art of their WoW Forever character, shoot me a message and I'll make you a free sketch! ♾💕 Players- post a pic and I might do some sketches your chars too!☺️ #wowforever (+some sketches I already did!)

This was also the peak of Alliance and Horde's "Nobody gets to beat you up except me." energy.

This is especially funny because timeline-wise Thrall is mid-twenties at most in Classic. So he's saying you remind him of himself from like... three years ago.

I briefly RPed a man'ari that refused to leave the Lamb basement because she was convinced to go to SW only to realize it was filled with demon hunters. It was fun comedy but other man'ari RPers trying to get her to leave the basement and 'socialize' got old after a while.

Someone should show MU Vynlorin this AU Vynlorin and record his reaction.

Man, Cataclysm really was the root of pretty much all the issues with themes and stories in the setting for the last 16 years, wasn't it.

They're just the latest way for Blizz to avoid giving people High Elves, but still give them High Elves. Looking at their customizations so far, I figure 90% of people will just use them as Helf proxies.

It's frustrating because he's literally one of the only characters in the damn setting who IS ACTUALLY the player character's adventuring peer. If you assume our PC is the same one from Vanilla onward then Arator is only slightly less experienced, since he was already knighted by TBC.

Nebulose @mduskstorm.bsky.social · 30/08/2026
It feels off with Arator because it's as though they tacked it on to a brand new character instead of a seasoned paladin of like a billion campaigns. We've HAD uncertain coming of age characters, he should have been written as competent and investigative, given all he's seen on Azeroth.

ROFL is an extinct dialectical offshoot.

"We must punish the people who made this thing we liked for wrecking the thing we liked that they made." Not a fan myself, but there's plenty of good writing in the xpac, that's kind of the problem. People gotta get a grip and stop being hyperbolic.

I call it 'middle fantasy', generally. Low enough to be slightly grounded but high enough that things can be impractical for the fun of it.

Nebulose @mduskstorm.bsky.social · 19/08/2026
Why is he asking where 'leadership' is? If anything this is happening because the senior staff is taking what the other writers have made and sanding off all the edges to be as generic as possible. We know the writers can cook, we've seen it even in this patch.

Nebulose @mduskstorm.bsky.social · 18/08/2026
I think a pass may need to be done to address the patchwork of writing quality in WoW, because the dissonance between things has become pretty marked. No one deserves to be fired, this is a pipeline issue, it feels like the writers aren't being allowed to talk to each other.

The largest influence when I write an OC is usually seeing art that triggers a desire to create something in that same niche, even somewhat. Sometimes it's even art I'm seeing for a second or third time after a while that sends me down the rabbit hole again.

Nebulose @mduskstorm.bsky.social · 08/08/2026
I would say pirates because the first PotC movie had me by the throat as a kid, but oddly enough I have zero pirate-themed OCs and multiple ninja/ninja-adjacent OCs. So I guess ninjas.

Be on the lookout for my next book, "Val: Why Is That Mob Still Chasing Me, and Other Mysteries". It's the sequel to "Val: How Did I Even Aggro That?" and the prequel to the eagerly anticipated "Val: How Much HP Does This Random Mob Have?!"

I think a big issue that's impacted not just faction identity but playable race identity is that all the internal issues have been 'solved' for years. Another issue is that both factions have identical questing paths now. We don't even have SOME zones where the experience is different.

In retrospect it's kind of weird how we got mount versions of almost every vehicle/riding animal in TWW except the little Arathi airships. We got several lynxes (though not nearly every variant), but the flight path airships were a no go despite being pretty simple in design.

Based on the ethereal mobs on Naigtal, I have concluded that what actually happened to K'aresh was Dimensius entered the standard K'areshi aggro range (roughly 50 light years) and they mobbed him en mass until he lost his temper.

It seems almost like it was included as some odd 'gotcha' moment by a pro-AI person. They literally already had examples of Airbender facial hair from the original show itself, and we see Aang with facial hair in LoK.

Nebulose @mduskstorm.bsky.social · 26/07/2026
So much pro-AI stuff feels ideologically motivated instead of logical, especially in creative industries. "Look, see? We used AI here and it worked out and saved time!!" and it's something that would have taken maybe ten minutes to do normally.

Modern Demo can be fun once you get enough demons going but it will never have the same vibes as pre-Legion Demonology, unfortunately.

They keep trying to go back to lower or more grounded stakes only for it to be wrested away again, it seems. Or rather, they can't seem to properly stick to one or the other in a given xpac and it results in something very thematically fractured.

Nebulose @mduskstorm.bsky.social · 21/07/2026
As someone who did get a few of the skins back in the day, yeah, an odd sticking point for them. I get the idea of FOMO as a metrics driver but it's been a decade now.

"Then, instead of making Anima warbound transferable by itself, we made it so they can only transfer it in increments of 1000, and made THAT item warbound. Funniest shit I've ever seen." - Blizzard, probably.

Dude just goes places to see how far he can push his telemancy. They probably didn't even ask for him to but he was already in the van with a bag of reagents and a map of local leylines wearing his "I Love Spacetime" t-shirt.

Nebulose @mduskstorm.bsky.social · 19/07/2026
In Arator's case I think it's exacerbated because so much of his personality doesn't make sense given everything we know about him.

Any time an arc/character becomes shifted into "mainline" or "selling point" content territory they seem to be put into the hands of higher ups (or committees) that just reduce them to extremely binary/simple plot points. It's been getting worse since TWW.

I was killed by an unseen enemy when getting my aquatic form in Darkshore and for a week was too scared to go back. Over a decade later when doing it on Classic I realized a thresher sometimes gets stuck in the ground around there and that's probably what killed me.

Blizzard decided to give us the Warden xmog they did, while also keeping the toy that turns you into a more accurate version of a Warden a 20 minute duration on a 2 hour CD. I seriously do not get why they sprint away from iconic, recognizable Warcraft things in favour of worse replacements.

Nebulose @mduskstorm.bsky.social · 11/07/2026
Going off that link and the gear the character is wearing, it's a boosted character, Midnight pre-patch at earliest. So they used their pre-order boost for this, which is... even weirder.

Sometimes I remember the Blizzard dev who came up with Daze as a mechanic likely still walks among us, and a great fear grips me.

Was it so hard to keep haranir as just weird self-important bat people? Dark Trolls that went underground and assigned themselves a job? They were cool then.

Lorewise I think a schism between the belf and nelf demon hunters would be interesting, given the lore. Practically speaking, Blizz just probably forgot.

My tinfoil hat theory that I'll never let go of is that the first batches of Allied Races up until KT and Zandalari were all made up of customization options already made for the overhaul in SL that were yoinked and cannibalized because BfA didn't have an xpac hook yet.

Nebulose @mduskstorm.bsky.social · 22/06/2026
It's because they changed their direction from a unified theming based around the given raid tier, to each class having their own theme they follow/adhere to. Makes the standouts standout way more, but there's a lot more variation for quality.
