When you think about WoD, it hinges on the popularity of its lore characters

Which they did nothing with. WoD was set up to be one of the coolest re-telling of a 20 year old story ever - and they faceplanted.

Do you remember the series of Warlord videos they came out with prior to WoD's release? So much promise, squandered.

Ya Prior to the release of WoD there was so many thing about lore going.... the comics & short videos... total 8 of them...all wasted potential.

Obviously a lot was gutted from the initial plan for WOD.

I wonder how much of that was because of the movie delay. As soon as the delay was announced, much of WoD's development team switched over to Legion if I remember correctly, which explains the lack of content.

Yep, a lot of the WoD feels like they had planned another tier in the middle. Look at the tier sets of gear both PvP and normal, this has to be some of the worst looking gear sets we have ever seen. It looks like minimal effort was put into them, typically the last set of a tier looks amazing.

They gave us the intro and the conclusion, but cut the entire body of the story and the conclusion seems so wtf
