#but i also know people had a lot of time planning this out

I choose to be salty that there are never blood elves present in the cinematics and cutscenes of big battles involving the Horde because hurr blood elves aren’t Horde

like honestly it isn’t that blood elves can’t fit into a battle scene like the one in the trailer, it’s that whoever made the trailer sucks at fitting them into it. if their imagination only extends as far as “uggo races” for imagining what the Horde is (and for that matter, humans/dwarves is all they can picture for the Alliance/implied night elves maybe shooting some arrows??) then they’re just not very imaginative.

all in all I only ended up liking the bit of Anduin. Sylvanas’ moments felt forced as all hell (”LOOK LOOK SHE’S BEING A WARCHIEF SHE CAN BE A WARCHIEF”) the siege towers were kind of neat too and the Roman-style formation the Alliance was using was interesting, but jesus the more I think about the trailer the saltier I get

#and i do always feel bad doing this because i know artists worked hard on it #but i also know people had a lot of time planning this out #and that's what they planned #like they settled on that #so just #ugh #i'm still just annoyed that blood elves have had like three moments of lore #and that's it #and a lot of other races haven't had it much better #like what's the point of adding more stuff if you don't USE IT #FUCK #and then blizz whines #'it's so hard to get people to care about new characters'#WELL IT'S REALLY HARD WHEN YOU USE THEM ONCE AND NEVER AGAIN #PEOPLE CARE A LOT ABOUT WRATHION GUYS #WHERE HE BEEN #HOW ABOUT YREL IS SHE JUST GONE FOREVER #and now will thalyssra be horde only??#is that what's going to happen?#god i hope not #and i know i'm going to find something in the expac i really like #because i almost always do #like i eventually found shit to like in even WoD #i eventually just liked running around aimlessly #it was good for that #but that's not a very big point in its favor #anyway #i just have a lot of worries #and i'm really sick of blizz filling their game with red headed stepchildren #and i'm MORE annoyed because i haven't found any other mmorpg that does it better
