@Portergauge My friend insists it's because the night elves have the Shen'dralar who are knowledgeable about the Well of Eternity but I have a bet with him that we either won't see the Shen'dralar at all or if they do show up they won't do anything materially useful the Forsaken couldn't.

My core problem with involving the night elves in Midnight:

@Portergauge @that_kind_oforc Blizzard just making up lore or misunderstanding their own characters makes me so sad. You can tell a story about the high and blood elves reconciling, but here that reconciliation is based on a lie. It's not true historically and because of that it's necessarily unsatisfying.

Okay I need to explain this fully so people get my issue lol
The fracturing of Quel'thalas did not begin the day that Kael'thas renamed them blood elves or introduced mana tapping, it was fracturing long before WC3 -- thanks to Anasterian.
Portergauge 🏳️🌈@Portergauge
I... this might be the most fundamental misunderstanding not only of the modern high elves, but the entire story of Quel'thalas in general. I legit need to make a whole thread about this once I'm done here lol

Take away my tablet, my brushes, my pencils, i’ll still be able to create what iimagine, even on dirt. They take your slop app and you’re nothing. Learn a skill. Adapt or die i guess

We’re saying goodbye to the Sora app. To everyone who created with Sora, shared it, and built community around it: thank you. What you made with Sora mattered, and we know this news is disappointing. We’ll share more soon, including timelines for the app and API and details on preserving your work. – The Sora Team

It's almost like the joy of reading is simply about the experience of the book and not /really/ the technical prose or writing or anything like that.
Nick Kolakowski@nkolakowski
I'm as pretentious about my prose as the next ink-stained wretch but "The Martian" was one of the few books that had me waking up early to finish... even if Weir's a clunky writer, he knows how to drive a narrative. That's an art unto itself.

what pmo the most is that vg DOES have a lot of valid things we should criticize, but people are stuck on stupid petty shit like... 😒

@robin_esque @Portergauge Sure, but you dont go to Silverglade unless the questline takes you there. I.e., the default state of the location is set at the time of this quest - so its for the quest.
English
I replayed the campaign chapter as Horde to see any changes and well... there are literally none lol
Not a single night elf or high elf reacts any different to the Horde/blood elf character than they do to an Alliance one.

@that_kind_oforc The only good use Anasterian has in WoW is as justification for a spellsword mage spec.

Damn whoever planned/wrote the High Elf/King Anasterian stuff is desperate to rewrite him as competent/useful and not an isolationist twat....
And the high elf rewrites are funny to watch
again- reeks of "I dont care if the story i want to tell doesnt match what was written"
English
@AllenWesson2 @Portergauge This is just the default state dialogue they have, not related to the questline.
English
@Portergauge High Elves react VERY differently if your character is Sin'dorei - especially in the written dialogue if you click on random NPCs.

@AliceThePurple Occuleth says the anti-tp runes of SM prevernt him from porting an army in as the seeming reason why he cant go to Org and tp a battalion or two in, yet soon as we finish prepping in Suramar....he teleports the NB Battalions straight in the city....like be fr blizz

Just a really shockingly contrived plot. Thinking about the forsaken and Natalie Seline who is a former wielder of Xal'atath and the leader of a cult literally founded in achieving power through strength of will. I love this expansion but Blizzard's insistence on 'this is the -

That's the end of the story for this week, March on Quel'danas is next. I have a *lot* of thoughts on this, most not very good lol, but I am going to just... try and process and hope that the finale is more nuanced.

@SketchyKP @hoothathuh @ScottLikedSLS Surely you recognize the extenuating circumstances here where he is working alone and had been for hours while doing the job of several people? This isnt him making a mistake at a fully staffed tower. He was ALONE doing multiple peoples' jobs.
English
@hoothathuh @ScottLikedSLS So that's a good thing? Maybe of others did this dumbass would have walked away instead of killing two people.

No offense but the ATC guy realised his mistake with plenty of time and screamed at the truck driver to stop and hold, they continued on despite 3 call outs to stop.
Human error was involved but not really the ATC, more so the driver.
Blake Scholl 🛫@bscholl
Unpopular opinion: Today two pilots lost their lives because we have an air traffic control system inherently vulnerable to human error. Even great humans make mistakes sometimes. Machines should be issuing clearances, not human controllers.

I've been reading the Mistborn books and I just finished the first book of the Wax and Wayne series. It's crazy how well Brando Sando translates Allomancy from an epic fantasy setting into a 1920s-inspired cop noir setting. No wonder everyone rates Mistborn so high. The first -
