I am very glad that Blizzard has decided to pay tribute to Robin Williams. As an avid WoW gamer he deserves it! I can't wait to see his 3 tributes.
Funny you should say that, until his passing I had no idea he was the voice behind the genie.
Exactly how I feel about it. I am so happy this will be a part of the game forever now. I am really hoping that it becomes a neutral quest line where in the end you help free a funny genie.
Here here! 'Dead poets' Society' was one of the most magnificent movies ever and it was Robin Williams who made it so!
Beautiful tribute for one of the most incredible actors and people out there!:)
In the spirit of Robin, and the iconic genie, it is in my opinion that he should transform in-game to something that bears a resemblances to not just one, but all of the iconic characters he's portrayed in movies. GOOD MORNING AZ-ER-OTH!
This is awesome! <3
I like the idea of multiple npcs/costume changes. I do wish one of them could be a reference to the WoW toon he played the most. Letting us see his main would have a special meaning and connection to us as gamers - he was one of us, after all. I've heard stories about him playing a priest named Jett on Mannoroth, and then I've heard stories that the Jett claim was from a short-lived Wikipedia edit that wasn't true, so who knows what to believe at this point. But I know I for one would find it meaningful to see his WoW toon as part of the tribute.
What a thoughtful gesture to a man who was a comic legend and his 'Genie' will never be surpassed. I am sure that on meeting these characters it will bring a smile to many players, so his legacy will live on.
I look forward to seeing this. Well done Blizz.
I think its wonderful that blizzard is showing respect for a man that put a smile on everyone s face well done
I would adore the Mrs Doubtfire tribute! Not that I didn't love all his other movies and roles, but Mrs Doubtfire is one of the few comedies that I will happily watch anytime, everytime!
Fantastic tribute, Blizz! Can't wait to start interacting with him in WoD!R.I.P. Robin WIlliams, you will be missed greatly. You always knew how to make people laugh and entertain them.
“Oh, to be free! Not to have to go, ‘Poof! What do you need? Poof! What do you need? Poof! What do you need?’ To be my own master. Such a thing would be greater than all the magic and all the treasure in the world.”
I feel like there should also be a Hook tribute. And Maybe Jumanji. But a+ for effort!
I swear I saw a comment earlier about naming a troll "Jumanji" but I couldn't find it to replay to it :( At any rate, I thought it was interesting because my Sen'jin Fetish has been named "Jumanji" since I started playing wow again about a year ago. :)
He gives me hope that people like this exist in this world nanu nanu dear friend your pain is over now
