ok, I've been away for a lot of weeks :P was with my relatives celebrating christmass and new year's eve.
but now Im back =)
after reading all 4 pages of this stuff here's what I got to say.
Having played through it on most of my characters now, I today got my tauren warrior to 73 and did battle for undercity, pleasently surprised at the now full voice over.
:P bro' that's old news, its been voiced since 3.2
Thrall was, of course, awesome and just how I would picture him in battle. It also made sense the voice change to sylvanas, given the voice actress as her now in this (and icc5mans).
I'm glad that thrall's voice has been and allways will be metzen, that means he's gonna have that voice for ever and ever, unlike the other wow voices wich are subject to change at any given time.
I mean, all it takes is a bad paycheck and boom, they leave and they grab another mindless drone, give him/her the script and there u go.
is a shame that sylvanna's voice was changed, her voice in war 3 was epic.
I still hate her for her actions in pit of saron, but I'm willing to believe that if someone as cruel as Liandrin who tortured and drained a Naaru was able to change, maybe sylvannas will too, but if that ever happens she's not gonna be a marshmellow ever, at best she can be less mean.
being cruel with your enemy is one thing, but being cruel to your friends is inaceptable, that's being a jerk and I hate jerks.
this is the reason I hate varian garrosh and greymane, and sylvannas just joined their ranks, jerks are a no no on my list of heroes and heroines.
I mean, uther turalyon and even lothar hated the orcs, but they where noble, not jerks, no name-callers, not cruel when it was not necesary.
untill varian, garrosh, sylvannas and greymane can learn to act like these 3 plp stated above, they are on my hate-list.
I also, on a personal level, having my detest for Varian fueled again in this, actully hearing him how he talks to my hero in this, how he discribed my faction and its honor as nothing
it upsets me that he still blames us for stuff that happened 20 years ago I mean, blaming the current horde for the actions done onthe second war, is not only childish, it's stupid and unfair.
the horde paid a terrible price for their actions on the first and second war, but we've already made amends both with azeroth and with the alliance.
I just finished the quest in terrokar where you reconect with the wolf spirit, check this out
http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=10791during the dark days of the horde, the orcs turned their backs to the spirits of the world, look at where that got us.....
but now we've atoned, our crimes have been repaid, and if the spirits of the world itself aprove of us, and so do the dragon aspects, the elements, the naaru, the light, and the spirits of the wild and life itself, then WHO THE HELL DOES VARIAN THINK HE IS TO DICTATE IF WE CAN LIVE OR NOT? IF WE CAN BE FREE OR NOT?
the hell with him, we've been slaves for too long, but no more......
And yeah, the tone in Varian's voice... He didn't sound angry and heated, which was the old excuse. I nearly bought the old excuse that Varian was just being rash because he was still in "fight mode" and was full of adrenaline...
But when I heard him speak, he calmly tells us that he is going to remove us and all our people from the planet. And I doubt he means to send us all to Outland
yup, he's just like justin, the captain of the skybreaker, varian wasn't heated up for the battle, he wasnt pumpe out on adrenaline he was calmed cold and cruel when he clearly said he meant to genocide us.
and to all those ally fanatics who cling to the "disband" crap.
he tossed putress severed head at thrall's feet, saying that he was the first strike and "many more will follow".
he didin't disbanded the royal apothecary society, he slaugthered them and beheaded it's leader, he doesn't mean to simply scatter the horde, he means to execute every orc down to the last man woman and child.
just because he showed mercy and honor on ICC for saurfang doesn't prove crap in his favor, after all achilees also allowed the father of hector to reclaim the body of his son, but later he swiftly invaded troy and burned it down to the ground.
if anything, the event on ICC proves how cool saurfang is... that even the most red-necked orc hating radical on the planet shows respect to him and his son.
the saurfang family is respected by all, even the alliance guards on valgarde praise saurfang and his combat prowes as well as his honor.
I would assume Varian is, he wanted to retake Undercity for the Alliance, but since the Horde took it back
he practically helped themthink again dude......
the horde won the UC, by the time the alliance got there the battle was over, I did this event on an alliance alt, and by the time you exit the sewers once the worm is dead, the horde has already won the battle, all you see are horde coprses and renegade apothecaries dead.
the alliance got too late to the party, all they did was clean up the back sewers and the apothecary. but the courtyard, the inner sanctum, as well as the 4 districts and throne room was cleared by the horde.
all the alliance did was stop putress and his deadly army of flem.
wich the horde would had done even if they weren't there.
so no, the alliance didn't "help" the horde to take the UC, the horde took the UC and the alliance tried (and failed) to take it from us.
last but not least taurenmoo, did u noticed who's the "master of varimathras"?
his voice-file is called "sargeras" :P
xD we stoped a new legion invation, and where able to flip a finger to sargeras AGAIN
I love my horde ^_^
PD: I get that Tauren I do.... but we're being watched a lot more carefully
after the invasion of Trolls recentlyo_O did I missed something major? what troll invation?
