Classic Blizzard, writing a story for an event that doesn't make any sense whatsoever and contradicts other information given from the same expansion.Is this what we have to look forward to with multiple teams working on WoW at different phases of development?
Ten minute community dirt soup as end of expansion filler content with ridiculous currency grind has a story? Instead of basically meaningless flavor text the random never heard of 'em before NPC spits out as everyone is mounting up and flying away? Call me surprised.
Did anyone actually participate in this? I barely even remember it being announced, lol.
Everything about this event was half-assed
I haven't done a bit of this, I just got the vibe that it had bad story from the initial quests. Seems I was right. Bummer. .. who thought it was a good idea to imply a romantic relationship between a Djaradin and a Tuskarr? What are the mechanics of that, exactly? Bro's index finger is the size of her forearm.
I expected more lore wise from something called Azerothian Archives. It would have been a perfect way to throw us some juicy lore tidbits, but we're left with a generic story and more questions than answers.
I'm... surprised there is any lore? I've been doing the dig weekly once and I didn't quite notice any of the lore... was this in quests or what? Maybe I didn't read? How is it coming to conclusion? Where do you get the info? I got the achievement today but... where is the story
I want archaeology back…with entry’s in my log and cool lore stuff to find.
Why would a djardin be an agent of Neltharion? Isn’t he like their #1 enemy with the whole draining the elder and what not? Maybe this is one of those “archeologist assumes story without full evidence and gets it horribly wrong” things like in real life because absolutely none of this make sense.
Let me save you all some time here.Danuser was the head writer when this was designed.It's not SUPPOSED to make sense.It's not GOING to make sense.It's not EVER going to be clarified or iterated on.It's just throwaway content.@Blizzard: Please just make archeology a thing again. It was boring and weird and full of RNG but it was a lot better than this.
This event has a story? Is this all from the NPC's random chat text, or did I miss something?
i didn't even know that this archeology thing was around in retail...Was there even a quest in Valdrakken that took you there?
Regarding the looks of the two headed dragon, It doesn't look like a chimera skeleton, Chimeras afaik in wow always had a very specific look. Two headed animal skeletons do not look complicated, I could fully see that skeleton being a dragon with just two heads. I'm just curious as to how we haven't seen more, with how long dragons lived there's sure bound to be some physical defects (granted it is stated in lore that few whelps survive so I would imagine a deformed one wouldn't last into adulthood unless assisted)
This is my take on all of it: none of these Archivists/Archaeologists actually know what they're doing and made up a bunch of stuff to sound like they uncovered a cool story, but in reality, it was just made up on the fly as we uncovered stuff and it was meant to be facetious and a far-fetched tale.
I didn't know the event had a story. And looking at how it makes no sense it just proves that it isnt worth to involve yourself with wows story anymore
Wonder if the Arcane Forge is going to tie into … erh… something later on? After all, it’s just been there for quite a while now.
