    My very fist thought was ... trying penmanship wearing that gauntlet must be frustrating. No wonder she has that expression.

    I hope everyone is enjoying the launch. I'm just not feeling anything about this expansion or it's videos so will wait. :(

    Was interesting to see Saurfang's reaction to the champion's attempt to free him from Stormwind. Could Saurfang be the link Anduin leverages to splinter the Horde like what Sylvanas is trying to do to the Alliance?

    This story is really putting me to sleep thus far. This jaina proudmore is a real snooze fest. I dont even understand whats going on, i get to the expansion island with Jaina and then 2 angry broads storm out of the castle and start yelling at us and throw us in jail, What the hell is going on?!

    Jaina erred on the side of making peace with the Horde in the past, and her actions indirectly led to her father and most of Kul'Tiras's military being murdered at Theramore.  She had not seen or visited KT since then, nor had she spoke to her mother since then until her and the champion show up in this expansion.

    In a nutshell.  The second lady appears to be a corrupt noble from what you learn after the cutscene.

    If people in the alliance didn't tear even a little for Jaina during the opening part, they have no hearts....

    This is all high quality stuff and Blizzard deserves kudos for that. Great expansion so far.

    After playing both horde and alliance up to them arriving at the new locations I think the one for the horde was much better than the one for the alliance. The one for the horde was action packed and kept me interested. The one for the alliance reminded me as something from a children's bedtime story. Just didn't capture me. Disappointed to say the least.

    Isn't that what advocated means? recommended? It's not "pvp is the only way."

    I think it's good in that it might get some people who would not ordinarily try pvp to "try pvp."

    I think the horde story is where it's at with this xpac. Sylvanas for one, no I idea what she could get up to and especially now she's Warchief, example Teldrassil.

    Also the cinematic for Zandalari in the video just looked way more interesting and epic, new charcters and just seeing how they will contribute to it all just seem more engaing than Jaina crying for help.

    To be honest, I was hoping Jaina would come back and just be a rabid horde killer. imagine two crazed people going at it , doing whatever they can to kill each other regardless who got in the way.

    They're setting Jaina up to be a big part of the expansion.  I did enjoy Flynn Fairwind as a character, though he isn't as interesting on a significant level like the Zandalari Princess or Prophet.  He's a regular ole spy/thief, but a great personality.

    I think much of the difference lies in the nature of the groups each side is approaching.  Zandalari trolls with their voodoo and Dino's is just much more interesting than investigating corruption within just another human empire.

    For anyone that played original WOW, I got a creepy Onxia vibe from her.
    She's up to something quite significant, seems likely to be involving Azerite.  I think the quest resolution will play an important role in how KT becomes a valuable member of the Alliance.

    Maybe the KT fleet will be the Alliance's Azerite-fueled navy?

    Don't play for the wrong faction then ;)

    Zundalar is by far my favourite area in all of WoW.

    Unlocking and leveling Zundalari warrior as soon as they're available.

    ..Cake..

    Having just played WC3, Jaina's dad was firmly in the wrong there.

    Insightful.  Presumably from the cutscenes, none of the Kul'Tirans left were present during those events, so they seemingly assume Jaina's father was acting valiantly in the interests of KT and she simply undercut him.

    Typically if I don't get into an expansion on Day One, I skip the entire thing. I did that for Mist of Pandaria. What I've noticed is that the "Social Atmosphere" in these games isn't enough to keep me subbed for more than a couple of months. Then I try a few times over the course of the expansion, but it never lasts more than a week.

    This was the case with Cataclysm, WoD, and Legion. Hell, I don't even think I touched Cata after the first week. I was gone before Raids opened.

    I haven't gotten BfA. I'm likely done for good, this time. Overwatch has basically replaced WoW's BGs for me, and that's the biggest reason why I would resubbed... to play the PvP for a bit.

    I did resub to FF14 yesterday, but it's just as awful as I remember, so I've already unsubbed and uninstalled it after some hours (not even a full day).

    ESO is just a cash sink with its machine gun DLC releases. A subscription in everything but name only, unless you want to spend $200 catching up on content.

    GW2 has never really been my style, but I may buy PoFire to see what the PvP is like (though I've heard bad things about that, as well). Don't really like it's "Dodge or Die" PvE.

    I think my MMORPG days are pretty much over, though... Pantheon isn't really interesting me that much, despite EQ being the shining point of memories in this genre.

    If your in a hurry to level then turning War Mode on is a must. I know a guy who started when I did and we stopped around the same amount of hrs in. He is at level 116 and I'm at level 112. He has WM on and I have it off.

    He said everyone is questing with it on and no PVP going on at all for him. He hasn't seen anyone doing it. Going to be interesting as we get further into xpac. I think this will either be a hit or a flop. I don't think that there will be much in-between.

    Yea, right now all the folks are in their respective faction islands going through the leveling content.  It's pretty safe to have War Mode on right now.
