20:54 In Harry Turtledove's World War series, the Germans use the Dora cannon to blow up alien spaceships. Far more effective than it ever was in real life.
Before Goblins were in the game, I used to stand on the dock in Ratchet and /yell, "ANY GMS OUT THERE PLZ MAKE GOBLINS PLAYABLE RACe!!" for years. Eventually, the Universe brought me what I asked for.
Goblins aside, can we talk about how the Alliance were trying to take down Thrall when he was trying to save the world, and how they tried to murder the innocent bystanders who witnessed it?
9:33 There was a short story about this and iirc he destroyed Maldy's business in its entirety before proposing to her, and she refused because he'd just destroyed her father's livelihood (and more importantly HER livelihood!). And when I say he did it before, I mean that he announced the business' destruction at a big party and then IMMEDIATELY turned to her to ask.
I swear it would have been hilarious to have that giant cannon finally set to fire at like Stormwind or something, the entire thing being made into a Horde only event, only to have it explode in everyone’s faces destroying the whole harbor. Then the Horde players would have to help clean up and rescue the goblins from their own mess. Would have been funny as all hell and I say this as a Horde main. Man, so many missed opportunities in this game.
I like the fact that alot of the twitch chat still called Gallywix a simp despite the fact that he traps her on an isolated island and only sends her a picture of himself enjoying his riches once a year,... yup, sounds like simping to me. It's as if twitch chat just thinks that A N Y form of attention to a female is Simping,... Seriously it's not even him sending over some of his riches to her, it's LITERALLY just a picture of HIM enjoying his riches, all she gets are said pictures, once a year, while she is trapped on a deserted island, which he sent her to after she rejected him in the first place!
23:00- I think there's a simple answer. WoW humanoids, even nonelite mobs, are much tougher than real people, so the advantage of ranged weapons is lessened when you can't get 1-hit kills on same level targets.
I played Orc in WotLK when I was a kid. Then tried Dwarf paladin (Mostly cause of the South Park ep I cant lie), and now even tho I love classic, there is something I love about goblins that makes me play as one in WoW...maybe its the crack part
We have a gun like that in America right now, an honest to god Railgun. But the problem is that not only does it take a lot of electricity to power for just a single shot, that one shot is so powerful that it breaks several of the gun's internal components.
18:20 The 'canon' reason they gave for why no-one shot him. Is because Goblins are such fucking Goblins, that they all respected and envied the man too much for making such a move. Goblins at this point in the lore writing/story aren't actual people, they're just cartoon characters who care only about cartoonishly stupid ways to make money. Contrast this with actual goblin characters like Gazlowe, or that one Gnome/Goblin husband and wife pair in BFA.
Hitler built what was called "The Paris Gun" an artillery piece built into a train that could hit Paris from Germany. The barrels could be raised and lowered but could not be rotated. To change left and right you had to use the turn in the track to adjust. The train would flip on its side and derail itself if it shot to the side without the mass of the train on the tracks to counter balance it.
So this kaja'mite ore is similar to Australium from the tf2 universe. The only difference is that kaja'mite doesnt increase body and muscle mass, but it does make you smarter with prolonged exposure
I love wow lore, there are places where is filled with seriousness with epic battles and tragedies. Then there is other half filled with nonsense and lots of poop quests, something which other mmos like runescape and FF14 will never convince me to leave the World of Warcraft
They should just have Gallywix get killed by another goblin who takes over as new trade prince in between patches. I just think that would fit the goblin lore really nicely. Its just one day youre like "the fuck is that? oh the new trade prince, huh? rip gallywix i guess"
I laughed so hard when he started to talk about how the player character is trying to take the Trade Prince position as I study that shit in real life... I understood some things that was said but was still pretty much Minecraft enchantment table to me...
There should be in game things you could do to make yourself stronger, some things that would justify still using swords and shit. For example, the chance to get fel corrupted, you maybe unlock a bit more fel customisation for that character and your abilities get buffed. Ya know? Something beyond just gear
Player character is vying for trade prince status, thrall and player defeat gallywix and save the goblins... and thrall gives it not to you... but to gallywix. I understand why it cannot be the player character... but that is thrall at his best. Garrosh isn't bad enough for the horde, lets add an evil goblin to the ranks.
Firstly: "why not shoot him", because the power vacuum left behind would cause more damage and death, than if he was left alive. Also, he's the richest out of the bunch and has the most resources under his thumb. It makes sense not to kill him. xD
when i saw the goblins for the first time in the cata teaser image i imagined they would be really tribalistic, like trolls and orcs combined but much more mischevious. i still wish i was right
I want to be put in charge of WoW lore, and if everyone helps get me there, I will have Gallywix killed, and replaced with the PC. The representative that mainly goes to meetings can be our capable assistant: Sassy Hardwrench.
Worgen would be cool if they kept something closer to their original model. Go google a northrend worgen (since they remain unchanged to this day) or play classic. Also worgen would make more sense as a race / class combo, something they are going to remedy with Dragonflight... though the dracthyr also look kinda stupid.
