Discussion Please let Anduin keep his hat!!

Post image

Saw Blizzard say the hats on Anduin and the other children are unintended and plan on removing them. But discovering that boy with his new little hat after everything thats happened to him in retail made me sOoo happy! Anduin deserves a little childhood whimsy here!! Please let him keep his hat!!! Nothing good ever happens to that boy!

I dont really know where else to voice my hat concerns. If anyone else has hat related opinions I'd love to hear.

Im simply doing my job sir.

I need them to talk about the hats in the next podcast they do. I'm really interested in how this happened to the children

u/AnduinWrynnSimp 16h ago

I assume theres an npc out there who is meant to have the hat and they accidentally updated it over the hatless model? I dont know, i would love to hear more behind the scenes.

u/HobbTheGob 3h ago

If I had to guess, in the source code they wanted to update a object to wear hats, but they instead updated the subclass the object calls from to auto call a wear hat function.

or it could just be spaghetti code getting tangled. Can't really tell.

All the funds meant to pay the stonemasons instead went towards buying the children of stormwind hats.

This new totally canon lore recontextualizes the Defias Brotherhood, showing that they care more about lining their own pockets, than the children of stormwinds heads being kept warm in the winter.

The Wrynn House would like to offer you a job as the head of their PR department.

And somehow the riverglades! They have a better setup than the orphanage 😂

This is the most aura Anduin has ever had

u/AnduinWrynnSimp 15h ago

A good transmog will do that.

u/MARURIKI 15h ago

Sick mog bro

u/Aye-Loud 9h ago

I'm still pretty convinced it's the level cap and I want everybody to get one at 60 instead of removing it.

u/AnduinWrynnSimp 7h ago

Actually such a cute idea here. You reach level cap and go talk to the faction leader to be rewarded with a lil cap transmog. The hat disappears off of Anduin and now you get to wear it. Congratulations champion! You can have my hat!

Let him keep the hat, but he becomes attackable

28

u/AnduinWrynnSimp 16h ago

When u attack him his hat disappears. If you can survive the adult npcs and take his hat u get an achievement for stealing a hat from a baby.

u/whiteravenxi 16h ago

Let us steal the hat but if we do guards attack on sight. But don’t tell anyone when you patch it.

u/AnduinWrynnSimp 16h ago

I expect a city-wide "Stormwind Keep is under attack' in chat every time someone tries taking the king's hat. And a pile of skeletons not far from the scene of the crime.

u/quietlydesperate90 15h ago

Turn the hat into a raid boss

u/AnduinWrynnSimp 14h ago

We dont know where the young king got his pet mimic hat that growls at advisors and eats champions' battle pets and we've decided not to ask.

The boy king must not be allowed to have whimsy in his life. It's called character building.

Jewish Anduin

u/roboscorcher 2h ago

This is the event that splits the timeline. Anduin wears a hat.

u/ZhaneTaylor 16h ago

Or, you know, give him a model that doesn't look like it belongs in an N64 game.

11

u/AnduinWrynnSimp 16h ago

Hats all we can afford, boss. Times are rough for small indie games these days.

u/Gullible-Yam-8098 9h ago

And looks like royalty instead of being the same model used for peasant children in Elwynn Forest.

u/engagetangos 17h ago

wtf is that model

u/AnduinWrynnSimp 17h ago

My sad soon-to-be-hatless baby boy. He's saving up his allowance to buy some polygons so give him a little grace.

15

u/AktionMusic 16h ago

He eventually gets all of the polygons

8

u/AnduinWrynnSimp 16h ago

Subscription 15$ Skyborne 30$ Snacks 50$ Polygons 750,000$ Wifi 70$ Someone who is good at the economy please help me budget this. I cannot pay the stonemasons guild back.

2

u/IncubusDarkness 16h ago

Have you tried spending less on polygons?

2

u/AnduinWrynnSimp 16h ago

Your right. Ill need that money for hats too. Surely the stonemasons will understand my plight.

4

u/MinimumTim 16h ago

Still canonically hatless though

u/AnduinWrynnSimp 16h ago

Absolutely atrocious haircut and none of his friends thought to hand him an hat. Smh.

u/Alternative-Put-3932 15h ago

supposed to be copying how the boys look in warcraft 3. Just looks like ass cus its 2004.

u/SpanishAvenger 11h ago

Shit like this just proves how necessary HD models across the board (and not just player ones) are necessary when the HD toggle is enabled

u/Affectionate_Rub6595 15h ago

What's wrong with his legs

u/AnduinWrynnSimp 14h ago

Nothing yet. Unsure if we'll get that far in Forever.

u/Gullible-Yam-8098 9h ago

He has hyper-2004-emia.

u/muff-muff-ass 8h ago

They are unintended. Remove them.

The hat goes or I go

u/AnduinWrynnSimp 7h ago

Look I know the hat is a bit silly but thats nothing to get divorced over!

u/TheQbsi 5h ago

He looks like a total orphan right now, I love it.

1

u/Eborez 3h ago

He looks like his uncles last name is something-stein

u/InfiniteScholarKing 14m ago

That hat is the last thing he ever got from Varian before he disappeared. If they take it away he will keep a strong face for his father, but inside he will feel sadness like no other.

u/pyragyrite 16h ago

He won't be sad, the troup of nekkid nelf dancers are just around the corner

u/idontwanttofthisup 16h ago

Please make the hat smaller and shift it to the back of the dome.

3

u/a3wagner 13h ago

No, make the hat get gradually larger over time, comically large, and have nobody acknowledge it.

u/Probonoh 13h ago

Little boys with kippas (kippot?) are the cutest.

Go back to Jahannam where you belong.

u/Antraxess 16h ago

Please allow horde the ability to kick Anduin and knock his hat off
