Re: Mists of Pandaria

After a friend of my kept asking me to and linking the unobtainable Frostmourne in-game item, I once made a ticket requesting Frostmourne for my DK, Corrupted Ashbringer would also do. Because I couldn't find a proper runeblade.

Got a hilarious answer back, ended up in him pointing me to the one handed runeblade dropping from Naxx. Very Happy

Gamebreaker
Old age killed Lei Shen the first time he died.
The dinosaurs came from the islands in the South Seas.
Patch 5.3 will focus on how the events in Pandaria have changed the factions back in Azeroth. After that, there is a coup within the Horde, the previously announced Siege of Orgrimmar in Patch 5.4.
The seventh Sha will eventually be revealed.
No hints relating to if Ra-den dies at the end of the fight or not, so we have to wait for someone to get that far.
The Titans are more interesting when they are cryptic.
There may have been too many cutscenes in Cataclysm, so now they are reserved for the bigger events.

Lor'themar Theron was mentioned as a potential future warchief.

Draenei lore and story will be revisited at some point in the future hopefully.
The stories being told need gameplay to go with them, so they have to pick and choose what will be the best choice for the more rapid patch releases.

Whaaaaaat.

YEEESS!!

Never going to happen, but still.

YYEEEESSSS!!

It's probably a red herring.

...It's got to be.

IF Lor does really get warchief, I'm going to organise a ball to celebrate. And watch orcs cry.

Yeeesss.... YEEESS...

Next one that will say: "Puny elves", the reply will be: "The puny elves own your ass!"

As interesting as I think it would be... it does not change the fact that the orcs still need a leader. So perhaps Lor'themar will be Warchief of the Horde... who will be the Warchief of the Orcs? Or will there be two elven leaders? What be happening?! =O

by **erwtenpeller** Fri Mar 01, 2013 12:57 pm

Orc tears. That's what going to be happening.

Bring in the magisters! We have some minions to mind control!

by **Coppersocket** Fri Mar 01, 2013 2:18 pm

I think your silly Magisters would have to deal with a lot of Orcs. Considering there's way more Orcs than Elves.

Orcs also have Shamans, so your mages wouldn't have much to say in the matter.

by **erwtenpeller** Fri Mar 01, 2013 2:19 pm

Yes... But orcs are also very dumb. So it's easier!

Sure, those would be cool. But I would rather not see them change the entire lore behind Frostmourne only to give it to players, then it'd lose its awesomeness.

I will always retain the opinion that the lore is there for the convenience and enjoyment of the player. If the lore dictates that the players can't have something they desperately want, then the lore needs to change; and that they desperately wanted Frostmourne is no great secret. Blizzard had been teasing us for years, only to dissapoint us with this lame rip-off that is known as Shadowmourne.

Hell, I still want it.

I desperately want to wield Gorshalach, so by that logic Blizz needs to change the lore so I can do it.

i would suspect there would be no orc leader for at least 1 patch.. namly because garrosh by this point was clearly shown as corrupt and evil.. who to say the next in line are not equaly.. the orc political structure i suspect is gona get a majour reshuffle once the belf takes power of horde.. after all it was the orc's that forced silvanas to drop forsaken guards and use kro kron to defend her city whos to say it wont happen in reverse XD

Lor'theron as leader? I doubt the core Horde races would want that, nor do I think he would like to be Warchief over some barbarians.

SAURFANG FOR WARCHIEF!

by **Raene** Fri Mar 01, 2013 3:11 pm

Sylvanas is too untrustworthy, and thus not Warchief material.

Baine is not war hungry, and is only honouring a debt that his Father believed they owed. As an attachment, rather than a core part of the Horde, he is not Warchief material.

No Goblins or Pandas. EOD.

Vol'jin has no desire to carry on with the war from what I've seen, and is more concerned with keeping his people alive. Expand that to include the entire Horde, and we have future Warchief material.

Lor'themar Theron knows what it's like to be in dire straits and focussing on survival, doing what is necessary to make sure his people live through another day. Expand that to include the entire Horde, and we have another possible Warchief candidate.

by **Muzjhath** Fri Mar 01, 2013 3:14 pm

Thrall would just be lame, even if he get's back as orc leader. He's been, old news! "No backsies".
While Saurfang would be epic and worthy. Very much doubt it. Blizzard sorta retired him. Sad as that is.

by **Grufftoof** Fri Mar 01, 2013 3:15 pm

^ this, pretty much is how I see it.

Short of it being someone not in the "big players" (which I doubt) and much as we'd all love it to be Saurfang (which it won't, though I think he will probably deal the killing blow to Garrosh, or one of them... whilst possibly dying, as that would be the honourable end of him, saving the Orcish people and the Horde).

It'd be Lor'themar or Vol'jin. And (setting aside my Trollishness) I think Lor is probably edging up in likelihood.

by **Muzjhath** Fri Mar 01, 2013 3:22 pm

Lor'themar is a major player in 5.1 in the Horde dailies, yes?
And I saw him in the 5.2 cinematic (I think it was him) with the Horde forces.
He's also pictred as being unhappy wiht Horde leadership in general. While Voljin is mostly just unhappy with Garrosh.

So either they'd have to update Quel'thalas or shoehorn that quest in horribly.... D:

by **erwtenpeller** Sat Mar 02, 2013 4:23 pm

Please update Quel'thalas...

by Guest Sun Mar 03, 2013 2:06 am

How do you feel about the fact that you'll be able to level 1-600 blacksmithing with 9.9k Ghost Iron Ore only? Or wait, was it bars?

by **Vaell** Sun Mar 03, 2013 2:28 pm

I can't see anything other than an Orc (or Rexxar) becoming Warchief.
I wish that they had Frostmourne only obtainable by one person on each server (the server first guild to achieve heroic having the drop) with the same stats as Shadowmourne but with a different model and name.
I doubt there will be more than one or two more expansions!

by **Coppersocket** Sun Mar 03, 2013 2:43 pm

They've already confirmed that there'll be at least three more.
