It's not all that shocking considering how blandly inoffensive and safe modern AC games seem to be.

I consider this a slight against me personally because I would have loved assassinating Reconstruction-era Klansmen.

SCOOP: Last year, Ubisoft cancelled an Assassin's Creed game set during Reconstruction. Was to feature a Black Assassin who, among other things, fought the rise of the Klan

Sources: Leadership nixed it over concerns re: U.S. political climate, backlash to Yasuke

Servers were down all day yesterday and I needed a break from other work so I spent some more time on the drawn-from-memory Gul'dan

Happy Legion Remix day #DrawofOrc #Warcraft

So much time and assets to a race, completely pulled out of nowhere, when a focal race that has been around nearly since the beginning, has nothing. It just feels... bad man. I can't help but feel a little bitter. It just feels like pandering to "oh new shiny!" than anything to me.

I think a lot of their options are cool, but why not just give them to others and have more customization across the board? We are coming home to the Blood Elves' homeland, and the men still only have one (1) tab of customization options and can't separate a mustache from a beard.

I've tried not to post my thoughts too much on these guys, cause I don't want The Mobs™ to come after me, but I feel like they're so needless. What are they going to be that Night Elves or Trolls couldn't have been? They're even labeled "TribalElf" in the data, so we know they're Night Elf related.

Absolute blast of a weekend playing at Bread or Dead. Brought a zoo, went 4-1 and got third with best Destruction award. Feeling pumped for AoS.

This image is your casual reminder that it's been 11 years since the updates some of the races got in WoD. Pandas haven't been updated since their introduction 13 years ago. Goblins and Worgen had the most recent updates pre-SL, but still have dozens fewer options than Dracthyr, Earthen & Haranir.

The year is 2025. There are three social networks remaining. They are run by Dweeb Lowtax, Tweaker Lowtax, and Girlboss Lowtax. You have to pick at least one.

User (steventroughtonsmith) on Reddit found something REALLY intriguing about the Amani in the Alpha.

Some people in the comments on Reddit assume Fel - I moreso think this is Decay. Also, a Mam'toth altar? Drakkari?

Location seemingly tied to Zul'Aman, infested with some green-necrotic seeming liquid coming down the mountainside.

Location seemingly tied to Zul'Aman, with an Altar of prayer seemingly tied to some Mammoth/Elephant Loa.

Without quest context I came across an interesting room with a swirling green portal at the back (which booted me back out). A little research tells me that Magister Aradis is from Hellfire Peninsula. I don't recognise the banner either. #WoW #Warcraft #Midnight #MidnightAlpha

Blood elft Magister Aradis in gold and brown armor with fel green accents on his shoulder.

An armor stand with a helm with two large horns.

A circular Silvermoon city room with a large green portal.
