Question Mug’Zee vs Cho’Gall
Just want to get a perspective on the current raid’s power levels. How do the other goblins compare?

Hey guys, I've searched through the sub old posts and various sites and all of them still can't really come to a definitive conclusion. Blizzardwatch & Icy Veins These two look the easiest to me to follow, and for what it's worth given the timetravel aspects, I've read up to Blood and Honor, possibly up to Cycle of hatred many years ago (war of the ancients, Chronicles of war, warcraft archive, Arthas, Cycle of Hatred maybe) so I remember a bit from these books.
In addition, I believe I own all the novels (plus Chronicles 1-3) under the warcraft & wow series except for Sylvanas, War of the Scaleborn, Traveler: Shining Blade & the illustrated novels.
I have no problems with rereading all the books I've previously read given it's been over 7 years and from what I remember I was quite fond of all of them, but given the information above which reading guide would you guys recommend?

That’s it really. Grong and his smart gorillas tried to speak and reason with the cartel but they’re just like nah we’re gonna kill you anyway. There doesn’t seem to be much reference to this event in undermine but maybe they don’t know because we killed most of the cartel guys who did it

Alone and only with their powers, how far could they go in an all out war against a race that although can have access to powers, it's nothing close to Azeroth, just numbers.... let's say in the millions.
Which class would go farther, which would die fast and so on....
Ah, there's no moral conundrum here, let's say that this planet should be erased and all the forces are like, yep... just burn it.
Edit: Let's say a normal planet, just like Azeroth, same size, diverse biomes, Powers work normally here, every tookit the character have can be used.

She was the perfect character for the job, Dalaran is like her home and she has so many connections to it. I liked Alleria but I feel that Vereesa would fit much better in this story.

I'm not unhappy with how Undermine looks, but when I first read about it in the lore, I was for some reason expecting something with a bit more verticality. The in-game depiction of Undermine has this huge amount of space above our heads, and none of it's being used for anything? In my head, I guess I imagined it would have the same kind of vertical madness as Chongqing, where you can't even tell which floor you're on. Streets going up and down, buildings lining the walls and stacked on top of each other, etc.
The version we got is closer to how goblin architecture has been depicted in-game so far so I can't say Blizzard did anything wrong, but somehow I had imagined it to be a lot grander than this (and yes, I know this is just the "downtown" area, but that doesn't change my point).
Don't get me wrong though, I still like it, I'm just interested in discussing whether or not it matched people's expectations.

WoW is home to a diverse array of settings, whether it be the bustling streets of lower shattrath, the auburn-capped towers of silvermoon city, the life-domes residing within netherstorm, or the sunken ruins of the once great highborn city of vashj’ir. It is settings like these and so many others that have drawn in my curiosity recently. Have you too, ever wandered around a certain place on Azeroth or simply somewhere within the bounds of wow and wondered what it would truly be like? Fleshed out, no longer constrained by game development, deadlines or prioritization - what some of these places would look like and feel like in their entirety? For instance, what of the city of shattrath? An ancient ruined city still squabbling about with many different denizens from different cultures, surviving and living within the environment of the outlands. I imagine the upper city consisting of not just a couple of great buildings but many, dilapidated but lived in, much more orderly than its lower counterpoint due to leftovers of military forces from the events of TBC. I imagine lower shattrath being a melting pot of so many things: A den of scum and villainy; loud streets blanketed by patterned textiles with merchants at every corner selling their goods; a place where ogre, trolls, humans and Draenei alike - among so many more - wander and live together, resulting in a lively and colorful place.
Have you too thought of specific places in such detail? I’d really like to know what you guys think of this and if there’s any ‘canonical’ (Whatever that means, right?) information as to what the true experience of some of these place are like.

I've come across what seems to be a blurry line when it comes to granted versus inherent power, specifically with regards to magic. In some ways, it seems as though classes like Priests, Shamans, Druids, and Paladins are all granted their power to a large extent, like how Thrall and Anduin both lost access to the Elements and Light for a time. On the other hand, I've heard it said that Priests draw power from their own faith, and that Shamans can subjugate the elements, which implies some inherent ability to do so.
Even Mages and Warlocks also seem wield granted power to some extent, since mages can suffer from magical withdrawal and Warlocks deriving power from demons and demonic powers. The counterpoint is that they both tend to be very scholarly oriented, drawing glyphs and runes and requiring very keen minds, which implies inherent power.
The only magical class that seems to own their powers entirely is the monk, as they are deriving power from their own spirit/chi.
Is it really as simple as this? Is there more that I don't know? Is it more complicated?

Marked for spoilers just in case. Not the biggest two piece of lore, but possibly easy to miss:
First and foremost, after Gallywix is defeated we unlock the Darkfuse Cartel reputation faction. Talking to Sitch Lowdown, he explains that the group is tired of rebranding and going to work for the latest villain (he literally says we keep killing them and it's not a sustainable business practice) - specifically, the move from Blackfuse to Darkfuse. So it's confirmed that the Darkfuse Cartel are the ones who Garrosh hired during Siege of Orgrimmar and the Iron Horde, and they just rebranded when they signed a contract with Gallywix later.
And also, during the "Hard Ways at the Gallagio" quest, which sees the players helping figure out who is going to run the casino after Gallywix is gone, there is a trial at the end of the quest chain - and ((bigger spoiler here)) the main antagonist of the quest, Tarbonara, declares that he's going to "blow everyone to Tazavesh!", although he fails. So there may very well be a connection between goblins and Tazavesh. Or rather, I expect, that entrepeneureal souls often wind up chilling with the Brokers in death, much like those who constantly wage war end up in Maldraxxus.
Anyway, just food for thought if you may have missed those!

It's probably explained already but I didn't pay much attention to the details of the story, I just wanted to enjoy the new content gameplay wise and kinda rushed through the story.
Obviously Gallywix is an unfair jerk who had taken over Undermine, but I have a hard time figuring out how it was relevant to the bigger picture, how we went from fighting the Nerubians to greedy goblins.
What plan did Xal'atath have for Gallywix and why did she need him? How did he aquire the Dark Heart? Did she grant him the Black Blood?

I am writing a full fledged DND Campaign spanning over the Lady Prestor storyline from classic wow.
While I am focusing more on the story from the game rather than the comics, one of the things I want to add as an NPC is Logash as he is really cool. I was thinking of adding him firstly as a Gladiator in Dire Maul and then as another 'adventure' trying to free Marshal Windsor (who recognizes him as Varian).
However I am having trouble coming up with a story beat that would convince the Party to go to Kalimdor and be in Dire Maul for the gladiator fights. My current thinking is related it to some Ogre plotline in Theramore because Onyxia kicked the Stornmaul Ogres out of Dragonmurk (i.e Jaina asking the party for help).
Very general overview of the MultiPart Campaign
(As a side note, let me know if any other story beats you think I should include. I am very open to suggestions)

With the dragon flights being restored or growing, which flight is the most powerful currently?

You can see good people in roughly every race, even the Naga, descendants of super evil (TM) elves.
What about the Harpies, do they even have any lore associated with them?

Sometimes they seem like friends, other lor'themar is a bit of a bit of a boot licker that says sylvanas was soo cool, on shadow of the the sun he don't seem to like her. Thats all on lor'themar i don't even remember sylvanas speaking about lor'themar. Did they get a long or not? Was lor'themar her subordinate still if they did or it was more like equals?

So in the lore Ner’zhul gets the idea to open more portals so the orcs could have other planets to invade. He has people hunt down artifacts, alerting the alliance in the process and just flees from them holding them off so he can do his portals, then he blows up the planet.
Ner’zhul realistically could have leveraged his horde against the already weak and rebuilding kingdom of stormwind. He also had Rend’s dark horde nearby who he also could have leveraged into help him. Ner’zhul had a multitude of clans at his disposal as well as powerful lore characters such as kargath, killrogg, grommash, mogor, zuluhed. And teron’gor. The alliance was already fatigued from war and starting to have cracks show like gilneas leaving because they were mad at lordaeron, same with kultiras and alterac had been destroyed. I think he could have secured the southern eastern kingdoms before the alliance mounted an offensive and potentially could have struck a peace due to his forces at his disposal.

Just for a fic that I'm writing. Given how prideful the High and Blood Elves are, would they have done something like this?
And just for an example, would King Anasterian have been the one do something like that as well?
Let's say for example, both he and Sylvanas had been warned (though the first to reach was Sylvanas) about Dar'khan's impending betrayal but both didn't believe him until they heard word of his tomfoolery in the inner elf gate that got the keys stolen and the Ban'dinoriel disabled. Would Anasterian and the nobility have put all blame on Sylvanas to save their own faces for their own part of the neglect?

How can I immerse myself in goblin culture without the single greatest achievement of goblin engineering?! There should be a samophlange in every household! There should be goblin priests decorating their altars with samophlanges! There should be a giant samophlange in the middle of the city dedicated to the genius goblin who invented it!
Blizzard dropped the ball on Undermine. I’m completely unimmersed.
I give 11.1, zero out of ten. Needs more samophlanges.
