  • new alternative hero portrait spoiler: Siblings are always such a pain...

    Quote From AngryShuckie
    Quote From PLANETCRUNCH

    So what Siblings are there in Warcraft?

    We have Malfurion and Illidan already...

    Sylvanas, Alleria and the other one are in the game, as either Hunter alt skins or legendary cards....

    MURADIN is the only sibling I know who's missing from the Bronzebeard boys

    There's Arthas' sister... 

    any other notable siblings I'm missing? 

    Maiev has a brother called Jarod, and Jaina has a brother Derek who is now undead sailor. Calia Menethil (Arthas' sister) could be an interesting priest.

    I cannot think of any others to add to your list, unless you want to count all children of Cenarius as Lunara's siblings. So far as I know though, they all got along other than Illidan & Malfurion, and I suppose Vareesa doesn't much like Sylvanas anymore. So maybe Vareesa to finish the triad for hunter?

    Edit: by the same logic Calia and Arthas weren't exactly on friendly terms in the end, so I'll second linkblade91's 'final answer' of Calia.

    I doubt they'd release Vereesa now. Would be kinda boring if all Hunter ever gets is Windrunner sisters

    Also there's Derek Proudmoore, brother of Jaina.

    I will never get over the fact that there's a majore lore character in WoW called Derek

    Having read into the story some more, and with no other clues to go on, I'm standing by Calia Menethil as my final guess/answer. Her younger brother slew their father the king and turned into The Lich King; that's pretty significant. She's also gained in WoW relevance recently as a potential leader of the Forsaken now that Sylvanas has abandoned them.

    Calia would be a Priest alt hero, and could have remarks for both the Arthas skin and the Sylvanas skin; she's also friends with Jaina.

  • WoW Classic - "Is you is, or is you ain't my baby"

    I knew that Flux would come here and share his opinion on the matter. Glad to see, that he is also hyped about tbc.

    Anyway, I don't think I can contribute more to the thread, since both of you started a very thorough discussion and you are commenting on some specific things (like realm transfers), which I'm not knowledgeable of. Sykomyke, you probably feel more confident about what you should do after reading Flux's posts. But since you wrote to me earlier and I assume you would like to hear my opinion, I must say that your dilemma is really complicated. On the one hand you can't/don't want to log in regularly because of things irl or lack of motivation to grind, but on the other hand you still want to experience the content the game offers. And I assume, that you can't afford to log in too casually, because you won't get enough value out of your subscription. If I dismiss the previous sentence for a bit, I would tell you to join your friend in his raids, when you have time and you are in the mood, and to try to satisfy that feeling of "FOMO" as much as you can. But imho the other feeling - "falling behind others" - will stay and you just have to decide what's more important for you - to have fun or to grind. Because, as you already know, the game requires a lot of time investment from you for 1) farming gold, 2) farming materials (for craftables), 3) farming rep, 4) doing attunement quests, 5) farming honour (if you are a pvp person) and 6) obtaining gear. That's why you will constantly get that feeling of falling behind others, if you take breaks. I don't know anything about good gear in vanilla and the gear requirements for the classic end-game raids. If you don't want to miss out on the content and at the same time you don't want to put yourself in that tedious grind, you could try to convince a GM/RL to save a spot for you. In the worst case scenario you'd have to pass on the loot but I think you would manage to participate. If that's not the case (like Naxx, for example, that is a gear-check), then, as terrible it may sound, you should do something else other than playing Classic WoW in your free time.

    So that would be my answer - if you are enjoying reliving some of the Classic content on a casual matter and you think you would get enough value out of your subscription, then you could stay and continue to play. If you think people would want you to be well geared for raids and you don't want to grind it, you should quit Classic WoW and do something else (switch to a different game, hobby etc), until tbc launches. It wouldn't be worth it to punish yourself doing something you won't feel satisfied from. You will just feel worn-out and you won't have any energy for your daily tasks. This is the thing you should say to yourself whenever you have that "FOMO" and just recall how you feel, when you log in and don't get any enjoyment from what you are doing. Not to mention, once tbc launches, the previous grind for gear would become pointless. You would replace it with green items from Outland elites or quest rewards. If you feel some kind of a remorse towards your friend for leaving them, then I would say that even in that case you shouldn't be hard on yourself. You can explain them how you feel with the game and I'm sure they would understand. You are spending your own free time in it, after all; you don't have to play for the sake of someone else.

  • How do you beat Shadowisles Kamikazee?

    0 defensive options is not entirely right since Used Cask Salesman and Haunted Relic also work for a 1 turn chumbblock what can definetely matter
    As a general rule, at the start of the turn, versus a swarm deck, the first action taken should be an attack. This way, its possible to prevent both cards being played defensively.

    While it is slower I would not aggre with it being less consistant
    3 relics + 3 casks + 3 Feasts + Ruination + Rekindler +... many combinations can clog when compared to the average aggro deck.

    It needs an amount of setup that is clearly doable
    agreed

    You dont have to play around Kalista its just an strong option to win the game. 
    The deck is only being played now because Kalista was buffed.
    If you don't believe is centered around Kalista, the deck now is just weaker then it was before the Hecarin/Rekindler/Mark of the Island nerf.

    While it is certainly true that The Rekindler combo is not likely to go off its not by any means the ONE goal of the deck that it has to reach, its just an strong lategame option 
    thats exactly what i posted but with other words, so yeah, i also agree.



  • New Noxus Cards Revealed (And Swain....but we knew that....)

    Here's all the new Noxus cards for you guys! Video here: Noxus Cards Spoiled

    Pics are below too - but what's everyone think of how Swain is like 7 cards in one!? I'm not really sure what to make of him just yet....

     

  • new alternative hero portrait spoiler: Siblings are always such a pain...

    ehh I doubt it, no one knows who their parents are, and Alt heroes are either pre-established characters or original characters for fun

    I have no idea about the lore, but could it be a parent of Malfurion and Illidan?

  • new alternative hero portrait spoiler: Siblings are always such a pain...

    The way it's phrased it implies that it's either the sibling of a currently existing character or we are looking at our first dual character hero skin (as in two characters as one skin).

    As pointed out, it's not gonna be Rogue, but it being Celeste doesn't make sense, unless Celeste is the name of multiple indiciduals (sibling hivemind?)

     

    I would like to believe we can guess by the calss with the least amount of skins, but that's kinda moot seeing how Shaman got yet another skin.

     

    Honestly, it might just be a Demon Hunter skin. Better cash in on the hype sooner than later. If we go by my "two characters" theory it would be a good way to make a new hero for the class that doesn't feel repetitive (given how Demon Hunters all kinda look the same)

  • TAUNT, INSECT! - Card Design Competition Discussion Thread

    Thanks shaveyou. I did some more brainstorming and came up with this card. Not sure if it would be more balanced at (5) or (7) Mana, as there aren’t a ton of scary big taunts besides the Lich King, which can’t be run in an Odd deck anyway.

    i kinda dislike that the leviathan play is just draw swain and not a champion it really restricts its playability

    where'd you find this spoiler?

    Quote From CursedParrot

    It seems like this package would go really well with Sejuani. I’m  excited about Imperial Demolitionist with Vlad too. 

    Lol those were the first 2 champions I thought of when I saw that card Demolitionist to.

  • new alternative hero portrait spoiler: Siblings are always such a pain...

    the new rogue hero won't be the next. this was a spoiler for the actual next hero.

  • New Rogue Hero somewhat confirmed?

    Quote From PLANETCRUNCH

    I wouldn't hate Marin. 

    If only to hear him say "En Guard" whenever he attacks the enemy heroes 

    Who would he banter with, though? All the alt heroes need to have someone to banter with 

    He'd flirt with all the chicks. He seems like the saucy type, at least that's what I gathered from like the 2 comics and minor stuff in-game

  • new alternative hero portrait spoiler: Siblings are always such a pain...

    There's already a post discussing this HERE

  • WoW Classic - "Is you is, or is you ain't my baby"

    Thanks, that actually helps.  And it does make the situation a bit more bearable if there's a small possibility of allowing people to start at level 58 on a BC server.  To me that's probably the best situation, it creates an even playing field for everyone to start fresh without having to grind 1-60.

  • new alternative hero portrait spoiler: Siblings are always such a pain...

    who can it be? does anyone have a clue?

    appearantly its no rogue. maybe the mage "celeste"?
