Comment by ZigrifidFreaking goblins !Comment by Borga76Freaking goblins!Comment by orryerWhy did they make them so pretty?Comment by NyarlothYou posted the same video twice, the Gallywix one is missingComment by FelixxfbIt feels so good to hear Gallywix voice again.Comment by MetaAnderGreat, Kotick- I mean... Gallywix is back...Comment by ZehelorSo cringe that they are simply taking horde characters and just making them evil, over and over and over and over and over and over again. Why couldn't it have been mechatorque? Why not gnomes? Why does it have to be goblins, and gallywix? Might aswell just remove every horde leader and never ever make another one again. It's pissing me off that every "alliance arc" is about how good they are and about how they embrace the light and their fear, blabla. Every horde arc = horde leader is selfish = kill horde leader. It's like they simply don't care about telling a good story, they're more focused on: People want goblin patch, LETS GIVE THEM A GOBLIN PATCH. Cause what can we expect from an expansion and a villain that wants to summon a void lord to eat our planet? That's right, GOBLINS! Why not get lovecraftian as we go deeper into the ground, uncovering more weird things going on the closer we get to the core of azeroth, something born because of all the different forces mingling and combining. Maybe something exploring the underground sea and all the horrors that live there. But nah... we need a goofy goblin city. So much from them trying to tell a good story this expansion X_X.

Like it's storytelling 101, you set-up the villain, the stakes, the themes and you continue them. You can't just set-up Xalatath, the nerubians, beledar and then just ignore all of it for a goblin patch and a very conveniently placed goblin underground city. If they really cared about the story, they would have to hint at Xalatath working with more than just nerubians, hint at the goblins working together with her or for her. Not just "here is a random goblin outpost in the ringing deeps."

Really hope they manage to tie it all together cause atm it feels very random and disconnected.Comment by RaynuruHaranir

- A 0.1 second fragment showing Black Blood (+ the sound of flowing liquid during that fragment)
- And the fragment of Orweyna standing in Hallowfall where she appears to be looking at the Beledar Crystal

And the mole machine is goblin-made. Goblin mole machines have this "swirly" top as shown in the clip, whereas dwarves/earthen mole machines do not have a "swirly" top. (Google-compare the images of both mole machines to undestand what I mean.)Comment by YusakuGodaiComplaining about Gallywix is a bit silly given that he's always basically been a villain. But chin up! I'm pretty sure 11.1 will all but anoint the goblin who actually thinks cooperation and quality are more profitable (Mazlowe I think?) as the new goblin leader.Comment by 2526009So cringe that they are simply taking horde characters and just making them evil, over and over and over and over and over and over again.

The second playable faction appropriating the horde's title is a small group of primitives and weaklings the Alliance tolerates serving them as lackeys, but will never accept them and WILL destroy them if they step out of line or outlive their usefulness.

To play WoW post-MOP is to be Alliance or be one of our lackeys, that's just how it is.Comment by ECLlP5EIt's the World of Warcraft version of DC's Penguin.Comment by Violetta501Great, Kotick- I mean...
