The whole Warcrimes novel played out like a really shitty episode of Law & Order. I kept up with it through a TL;DR update on the MMO-C forum and it was just mind-boggling that that was actually happening.

We can thank the Celestials of Pandaland for letting Garrosh go after the siege of orgrimmar where either side should have killed him.

Garrosh escaped before the verdict (if I remember correctly). The Celestials are still stupid as hell but Garry jumped the gun somewhat.

I know way too much about this shit.

Good, WoW was a waste of my time back in the day. Therefore, I can only win by not playing it. Give me a friggin' Warcraft RTS or single-player game instead of garbage hack n slash warcraft mmo's.

Yeah, cause you definitely don't just sit and watch things hit each other playing an RTS game.

IIRC, its a rogue bronze dragon that takes Garrosh back in time.

Decent enough trailer. It'll be interesting to see how the story works out horde side. When I went through it, well... Garrosh and his cronies trying to kill my character didn't leave a good impression.

I'm still wondering why Garrosh only worked on developing Ironstars rather than building an Iron Juggernaut. Thing had one type of every weapon and looked like a fucking Scorpion!

Nice trailer.

I've been out of the loop for several expansions, and even then my lore is rusty. Can someone explain this to me? The green stuff is what made their skin change, from red to green, producing the orcs we originally knew. Now in the trailer, they appear to decide not to use it. So the past has been changed now?

What's the scoop?

Garrosh (Grom's son) going back and stopping Grom from drinking the blood of Mannoroth created a parallel universe, which is then connected to present Azeroth because reasons.

Basically, Blizzard looked at JJTrek and went "not enough orcs."

"Great Scott!"

(thanks)

Not really rushed. It's about their usual beta pace. Raid testing began a couple weeks ago and it's usually roughly 3 months between beginning of raid testing and expansion launch.

I suppose you're right, this still gives enough time for 6.0 PTR testing, perhaps a month or more, followed by a month and a half-ish with the live pre-event which fits in to their 4 to 6 week window.

Unlike the cinematic, that was kind of shitty and not worth the hype...

November 13th too, impressive but rushed it seems.

Do you have a single fact to back that up?

World of Orccraft: Orcs of Orcnor!

But really, I am surprised the stream is working. Blizzard doesn't have a great track record with live streaming.

A bit of an understatement if all he's doing is autoattacking the mob.
