Text of the page (random words):
ath with the wrathgate event and even into mists with its multiple video cut setpieces and the siege of orgrimmar that seems to be what drives the wow expac but for me the question is whether there s an overall narrative plan stretching across multiple expacs or whether their service to the set piece means that the set piece is developed first and then the expac is developed around it the reason why kamalia s post is so important is because she lays bare that the upcoming shadowlands expac takes all of those dramatic death scenes or moments of sacrifice suicide missions and makes them horrifying because death isn t the release people thought it was and yes i agree with her completely on her point but i don t believe that was a primary objective of the expac it was merely a side effect of the wow expac development process i find it very hard to believe that all of those raids starting from wrath onward that have bosses who die and exclaim that insert end boss here controls me no longer would have led to this existential moment where death turned out to be a horrifying alternative instead i believe that blizz said okay let s do xxx set piece cool isn t it now how do we get to there that s the thing about these set pieces they only work if they are part of a cohesive whole that extends from expac to expac as part of a long term story that blizz wants to tell right now it certainly seems that blizz is creating these set pieces without any sort of long term plan why would i say that because if the set piece creates some jarring plot holes large enough to fly a zeppelin through then maybe the set piece is the one that needs to change speaking of set pieces that drive expacs or movies from wikipedia org for example in the lead up to mists there was the mana bomb destroying theramore set piece on the face of it a major alliance city so close to the horde capital city would naturally be a military target in an alliance vs horde war however if you played the horde post cataclysm questline in stonetalon mountains which made use of another mega sized bomb the total destruction of theramore makes absolutely no sense as garrosh in an earlier set piece executed the stonetalon horde leader for displaying a lack of honor in slaying non combatants and as everyone knows there are plenty of non combatants in a major alliance city with a sympathetic alliance leader that had in the past sided with orgrimmar over their own faction s potential interests because someone decided edgier is better hmm there s something about that statement that fits right in with the dc universe from metacritic of all places but when set pieces and to a lesser extent the endgame rules the decision making process plot holes happen just ask all those daenerys fans about season 8 of game of thrones from vanity fair or maybe not and that s coming from a guy who had no interest in reading or watching either version george takes maniacal delight in killing off characters so i took a wide pass on any of his writings i only overcame this addiction when i was watching an episode and blurted out loud after a supposed major reveal that was incredibly stupid it was then that i realized bad storylines couldn t keep me engaged forever i d imagine that blizz employees would beg to differ on this point posted by redbeard at 5 23 pm 2 comments email this blogthis

druids come from i tried chasing down the original and this is actually a screenshot of a screenshot therefore i m not exactly sure who truly created this but as a pencil and paper rpger i found it the sort of d d legalese way of getting out of the price of a fey s pact now if you ll excuse me i have to go drive 6 hours each way to get the rest of my son s dorm stuff as the county in pennsylvania that his university is located opened up and the university is allowing us on campus to go get his gear posted by redbeard at 6 34 am no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels humor rpgs wednesday june 3 2020 the hidden nemesis i ve been pondering something a bit while i ve been working on my fiction and that is how mmos translate things such as death into a game an mmo is a strange beast in its own way by design it is a multiplayer sandbox where people get to experience all sorts of interactions such as quests in their own time sure you can group up but the multiplayer nature of the game means that death for both the baddies and you isn t permanent you die you respawn they die they eventually respawn items such as phasing as implemented in wow with the wrathgate event as well as other mmos version of such phasing is an attempt to alleviate this making it seem like you truly have an impact on the environment is the goal but what i ve been thinking of is something else entirely what is the psychological and physical impact of death on people in an mmo and how did people deal with this in real life when they were drafted given some basic training and then shipped out to go kill people in an mmo we can make light of death given that to the player it s an obstacle to overcome listen to mmo players talk about wiping in raids or instances and it s just no big deal you can even hear bosses express relief at their death meaning that hakkar controls me no longer but nevertheless kill ten rats is just a stone s throw away from kill ten kobolds and then kill ten defias i choose the defias for this because of their origin story which is something that a lot of people would identify with since there are a few people including the mini reds who i know occasionally read this blog who don t know the defias origin story i m going to put this behind a big ol cut spoilers ahead read more posted by redbeard at 9
