Deathwing and Arthas, and how different they'll be

So as Zarhym says, he'll certainly have a presence both as we level and at the farthest endgame content (his presence will at least be felt everywhere, even if he's not standing right in front of you). Medievaldragon suggests we'll see him as Daval Prestor some more, but Deathwing seems almost completely lost to rage -- my guess is that we'll see more of his servants in the Black Dragonflight poking around in human form rather than the main man himself (plus, by now you'd think anyone with the last name "Prestor" would send red flags flying in the Alliance anyway). At any rate, it's sure to be a much different experience than what we've seen of Arthas so far -- and I can't wait.

Hey Sooper, I'm happy for you, and I'mma let you finish, but x08redsee08x had the best comment!

That was my first thought as well. I'd pay for that shirt.
Are we over this dude yet, please say yes. :) Oh when I say, "dude," I mean FAME WHORE. ;-p

copied my name ftl...and x08's comment is best comment lol.
sooper Sep 16th 2009 9:13PM
copied your name? Yes. Yes. That's it. I actually search WoW.com for names to steal. It's my secret ploy to forever be uncool. =D
Or it's cuz my name is Mario and I've heard 1 too many Super (sooper) mario jokes. So you'll still be the "Superest" of "thrusts". And I'm just sooper. There is room for this coexistence.

1 million points to whomever came up with that pictures.
It's stuff like this that keeps me coming back to WoW.com

"We want newer players to know more about his long and troubled history as they're leveling through the refurbished 1-55 zones"
I was just reading Zarhym's post again and I noticed he said 1-55 zones. Does this mean they look to bump Outland down to level 55? Or was it just an oversight? WHO KNOWS. TUNE IN NEXT TIME.
Endless Sep 16th 2009 9:37PM
Wouldn't be all that bad idea to bump Outland down to 55. A fair share of Hellfire mobs can be killed at 55, after all. All they need to do is make quests available from 55 instead of 58...

Of course you did.
Shaverdian Sep 16th 2009 7:21PM
Amazing picture.

Well... If youre saying anyone in the alliance will throw up red flags with Prestor, he should turn his form into an Orc and mess with Horde.
sooper Sep 16th 2009 7:29PM
Man that would be BAD if he did that. The Horde ranks are already kind of tense and of all that Thrall does to try to get us focused; Deathwing orc'ing around and preaching in the midst would devastate us imo. All he'd have to do is be a critic of the Alliance and whisper in Garrosh's ear a bit.
I'm no lore nerd so I'm probably waay off. Most likely. That just seems like something that would happen in my own mind.
Morningbell Sep 16th 2009 7:58PM
Whispering in Garrosh's ear does sound like a surefire way to cause trouble in the Horde.
...And would be an awesome solution to the "WE HATE GARROSH" movement; Garrosh goes evil, causes a big stink, tries to take over the Horde but gets taken down, a la Battle For The Undercity. Assuming Thrall is still exiled or whatever, that leaves the gate open for Basic Campfire to rise to his rightful place as Warchief.

I look forward to an awesome transformation animation between deathwing's human and dragon forms. The Worgen one looks awesome so I hope they do more with Deathwing's transformation than "I'm a human...but now, suddenly, I'm a dragon! I need no actual transition animation! RAWR!"
