not delay, sold out at many places, scalpers boguht it out and are selling for $60-$80- each.... book costs $25....the #$%^& blizz gear store says they aint shipping till AUG 13th even for ppl who pre-ordered day 1 months ago which is scummy since non official blizz store actually had it just got sold out...
Has anyone else noticed the area for Order is shaped like a Tazavesh Gearglider? Or that the border for Shadow uses the same chains appearance that Sylvanas used in the cinematic of her duel with Bolvar and similar to the chains in Death? How about the Disorder symbol being the same as the Illidari crest?I also find the order of the forces unusual, Light and Order are neighboring Death while Disorder and Shadow neighbor Life. It seems rather backwards.
Too bad it won't be in Spanish :(
People don't understand what a retcon is and that it's not actually a bad storytelling device but a good one. There can be bad retcons but for instance the Illidan retcon for Legion created an amazing story. Same with retconning the Draenei and Burning Legion story for TBC.This isn't actually a retcon but learning additional information. The WoW story is actually pretty good it just uses comic book storytelling where they have to continue with an endless story that is passed from writer to writer. FWIW they've done a great job with only the warlords of draenor time travel / alternate reality shenanigans being a horrible blemish on the continuity.
I kind of like this. From an in game lore perspective, it makes since that once we transcend the fabric of reality and venture into the afterlife - we would discover things that are beyond the knowledge of our prior mortal lives. From that perspective, if the WoW team ever wanted to make some changes to how the universe works, it would be now. I just think that, once this Genie is out of the bottle, it can never really go back. When you define the fabric of reality, and touch on these huge cosmos, its kind of hard to ever have another MOP or WoD, or any of these smaller contained stories again.
Why call "retcons" new discoveries? When ppl learned that the earth wasn't flat it wasn't a retcon, it was a discovery...
The irony of Steve Danuser writing "Such blatant hubris!" while he destroys establish lore. So bad it hurts.
Its basically the same ( 6 forces)) yet with a slight change :The light force is lesser or equal to life forceThe Shadow is lesser or equal to the death force
This whole expac has been just an entirely disjointed separate entity from Warcraft all together. It's like they are trying to build an entirely new world, changing all the old to fit their new design. I'm so @#$%ing sick of this... Everything Blizzard does these days is just fan-fiction. Warcraft is over.
There is no definitive or objective lore or truth. It simply does not exist, not even in the real world.So this is a perfect way to show the world: through different perspectives.
RETCON-LANDS
This is bait. I am not taking the bait again. I am a fan of Light & Void being the primordial forces and not Life & Death. Next thing they will tell me the Twisting Nether was not created by Light & Void when they were at war, an analogy to the Big Bang. Next thing they will tell me Old Gods are not as cool villains as they used to be. I know you can tell I am a big fan of Lovecraftian monsters. What would be the nail in the coffin for me is to remove the similarities between Azeroth and Azathoth (the Blind Idiot God), the one that spawned the reality and if were to wake up everything will disappear because our reality is his dream. Cool analogy to what would happen if Azeroth were to wake up.
