Comment by GrimoraI bet they put in the first round of descriptions just to mess with people.

And BOY did it work! lolComment by kammo12Is it really a controversy if they said it wasn't final?

Forsaken intro fixed.

Now this dark skin color for race that went white because Sunwell and they really can stop catastrophe.Comment by RasaricThe Horde descriptions, especially the Forsaken, are still bad. They are trying to change the faction into something completely different than what it is. Many people play this faction to be antithetical to the Alliance, not to be the "good guys." The Forsaken specifically are being completely tarnished by being forced to remain on the Horde while Sylvanas is allowed to leave. Forsaken don't need a new future, the writers need to give us back our old one by letting us follow Sylvanas, or Shadowlands will be the 4th expansion in a row to lose subscribers.Comment by 1342158The Horde descriptions, especially the Forsaken, are still bad.

It's a lesser known English word, and I've seen a lot of people that remember it as "Desperate" or think the words are equivalent.Comment by GrumarThe Horde descriptions, especially the Forsaken, are still bad.
