Very nice of Blizzard to create a tier set for 12.1 that drags me kicking and screaming back to nelf druid just as I was dipping my toes into Haranir druid. Very cool of them.

Sargeras killed the Titans because he saw they gave the Earthen men built-in receded hairlines despite literally being made of rocks.

I think if they wanted Midnight to focus on Paladins versus Void, they really should have had Xal fucking with the various Paladin groups prior to the xpac. Scourge vs. Paladins is such an iconic match up that you forget the Scourge weren't their original enemies, because of how visceral it got.

It's so funny to me that Island Expeditions were used as a 'get out of retcon free' card. Nearly every group that was said to have been wiped out shows up, so they have plausible deniability. "It's not a retcon, they were just on an island! With azerite!"

My worst nightmare is Blizz adding Blood Elf Druids and Dwarf Druids at the same time. My brain will fracture from indecision and I'll be left catatonic. Or I'll make both and agonize over time dedicated to either one.

Elowyn is seemingly very open, but at the same time rarely shows vulnerability. People will KNOW how she feels about something, loudly, to excess, with lots of flowery and dramatic words. But it's not always a totally sincere expression of how she feels or thinks about something personal.

Just give us the normal Spellbreaker glaive that's been used by NPCs for years, Blizzard. As a sword. A one-handed sword. I promise the game won't break. Pinky swear.

Definitely Elowyn. She has strong feelings about many (obscure) things, and isn't afraid to let her emotions take the wheel when it comes to any situation. Art by @avylone.bsky.social .

The change to Exile's Reach is one of the more baffling choices made recently. It was already pretty divorced from the rest of the world, and didn't do much for introduction, now it just flat out doesn't make any sense.

The Amani using blunderbusses is so funny to me. Because you just /know/ that some hapless Farstriders got the scare of their lives the first time their arrow volleys were answered by what must have amounted to cannon fire.

I think I can confidently say that, so far, Zul'aman is my favourite Midnight zone in terms of environment design. All of the zones are gorgeous, but the atmosphere of it in particular is just immaculate. Especially around Nalorakk's Prowl.

In retrospect it was perhaps a mistake to pick a fight with the one creature capable of giving me thalassaphobia whilst Abyss Angling.

Got an amazing art commission of my Blood Knight Trisscar, by @elliezeekaye.bsky.social ! First piece for the OC and it was knocked out of the park for sure.

Redoing the worgen starting zone for no particular reason and I'd forgotten how the Horde was just straight up on demon time during the entire saga.

Joke's on you Astalor, no one can cause me more anguish than myself. Picture unrelated.

My hot take today is that BfA 'Alliance side' Darkshore doesn't even come close to matching the energy and vibes of original Darkshore. It's a very pretty zone and the eclipsed moon is cool but even Cata era Darkshore is more iconic.

It was perhaps a mistake to design a home that will require upwards of a dozen Sin'dorei Winged Chaises to work properly. Possibly.

One of the most diabolical things Blizz has done is create a new allied race (Earthen), give it all updated or more ornate versions of existing Dwarf/Dark Iron hair and beard styles, and then not giving said Dwarves/Dark Irons those customization options too.

Asira Dawnslayer is one of the pre-patch rares, which is really funny to me because it implies she survived being a dungeon boss, hid out for 15 years entirely free and clear, only to sign up to help Xal'atath and get immediately bodied for subpar loot.

I see you put the Spellbreaker glaive in Warglaives, Blizzard. Put it in one-handed swords where it belongs...

Shaking and crying as I select the 'Circlet' hairstyle on a draenei woman for the umpteenth time.

I know next month's trading post is likely going to be Lunar Fest and Love Is In the Air stuff... but it would be really cool if it also had the belf guard set (and the glaives and shield) that the NPCs have been using for months and months. Just saying...

Would be very interested to know how Blizz devs determine what off-hands appear when sheathed and which ones don't. At this point I'm assuming they just have a dartboard to decide, some of these are the same model but one appears and the other doesn't.

The screeching you hear is me spending thousands of gold on rocks to make a natural cave system for the lair of an OC I might never RP.

Stapling together words from the list of confirmed Thalassian phrases to give my elves a mostly gibberish phrase in their profile that I can nevertheless pretend sounds cohesive.

I'll keep up the Dark Iron trend with my own. Hathgerda Coaltongue, aka the Salamander. An embersilk mogul warlock with a grudge against the Twilight's Hammer and the Firelands in general. art by @hettikovacs.bsky.social and @actualsailboat.bsky.social

I don't think Blizzard fully grasps the sheer number of Void Elf Demon Hunters using the hair over the eye style that will result if they don't give both them and Blood Elves at least a few new styles. I should know, I'll likely be one of them.

Quote with some femme fatale #art Brangwen (art by @saltmatey.bsky.social )

OC lore train! Explain your OC’s lore in the shittiest way possible. Odin as a shortstack dwarven heiress has middle child syndrome and earns parental approval via violence and trade deals.
