An early Christmas present from the sneaky Veritasket (Sanna/Belthran/Claudine) who tricked me into thinking I was paying for this like any other regular commission, then sends me a 0,00 euro invoice and tells me "MERRY CHRISTMAS!" on discord after I check it

I already posted this on Discord, but I figured there's always gonna be some people who never look there so.. might as well post here too!

It is Vez wearing an "ugly" Christmas sweater that someone probably forced her to wear, so she's being all shy about it because she secretly likes it but doesn't want the other orcs to know. *nods* Really loving how this turned out! <3

Commissions drawn for me by Belthran/Veritasket:

Based on a conversation I had with her about how our characters would dress/look if they lived in a real life modern world. Vez would be a punk biker person in a biker club called the Frostwolf Clan, and they'd drive around on wolf themed bikes.

"Selfie Vez" drawn by Belthran/Veritasket as a gift for me.

Oh I remember seeing that drawing a while back, elsewhere I think. Dat sideboob and tattoo though. Also like her face a lot.

Woo! Go us!

I did not vote yet, because honestly I am not sure what to vote in regards to "active or not active" I plan to be somewhat active, but I don't know how often and for how long etc. My activity is always very.. on and off. Unpredictable. xD

As for Hiatus vs re-form.. Both have good and bad things about them obviously.

With a hiatus, as some people have pointed out already, we may never recover from and it may kill the guild permanently, which would be sad.  But at least we'd go down as the guild we've always been, and not some new mixed-race guild.

If we were to reform, that'd probably be cool and we'd get some activity and that'd be great, but there's no guarantee that'll last very long and we'd lose out on the name we've carried for all these years, which would be a shame tbh.

I don't really feel comfortable having to pick either one, but I guess I'm leaning more towards voting for hiatus.

I found ElvUI to be way too weird and didn't suit the game at all. Felt too sci-fi or whatever for my liking. I use the standard UI with a few tweaks:

I've used an addon called MoveAnything to well.. move stuff around! Such as the portraits, I moved them to each side of the cast bar, so I can keep an eye out for my own health and the target much more easily during battle. I also used the same addon to move the right-side action bar further down. Gryphons Remover, to remove the gryphons on each side of the action bars, because honestly I always found them to be a bit in the way.

The buttons you see next to the bags are my trinkets, using an addon called TrinketMenu that adds it's own UI frame for the trinkets that I can keybind. The one above is Gryphonheart items, which I'm sure everyone here knows of. xD

My damage meter is Skada, which I found to be quite a lot better (and less memory consuming) than Recount. Aside from these addons the only other things I use to change my UI visually is the fonts, which I believe are called Myriad Web. The fonts were part of a big UI addon pack I used in TBC, and I just kept the font since it's easier on the eyes than the standard WoW fonts imo (I tried going back to standard WoW fonts a few weeks ago, I only lasted 3 days before I changed back, it kept hurting my eyes).

And last but not least, my bag addon, Bagnon, which combines all the bags into one single inventory which in my opinion looks much better, and it also comes with a search function for your bags and bank, AND it lets you check out your alt's inventories/banks from any other character. Screenshot of Bags here:

A little messy right now because my banks and void storage are full, and I have so many items I don't want to get rid of! (Gief Legion wardrobe soon pls).

I do use a few more addons but those are just stuff like DeadlyBossMods, Mogit and Atlasloot.

So, a tumblr friend of mine was having some money issues and decided to do cheap waist-up sketches, so I figured I'd help them out, and well... here's a sketch-Vez wearing casual clothes, drawn by Makkochi (http://makkochi.tumblr.com/)

Also a silly chibi-pixel Vez for funs, cause I saw some of them and they were adorable so I wanted my own. xD

I can't remember the name of the artist who did the pixel one, I'll have to give them credit later when I track them down again.

Oh, alright. I've just never heard the name Alodi untill this movie. xD So I just assumed it might be Medivh's mother.

Just saw it, I loved it! There were a few things I noticed that made me confused or go "that's wrong" but it wasn't really worth picking on too much, it vas a great movie!

I loved seeing Grommash for the 2-3 scens you saw him, I recognized him instantly, and was like "YAY IT'S HELLSCREAM!" to my friends (I did that a lot during the movie). Also saw Kargath near the end for a few seconds, sad that none of them talked or were mentioned by name though.. and I wish Drek'thar and Ner'zul would have made some kind of appearance.. but oh well.

One thing that bothered me the most though, was why the fuck was dalaran flying?? It's not supposed to be flying until wotlk times? o_O That will make a mess for them if they do the Warcraft 3 story sometime.. seeing as the scourge invaded Dalaran then.

Also like others pointed out, I was confused about the Garona stabbing I thought she was supposed to have assassinated him in cold blood because it was her job, not like that. But really it worked out just fine with this movie so it's not a complaint, it just confused me.

Orgrim's arc was muddy and confusing as hell. Would've perhaps made more sense if they made him Blackrock

AND WHY ISN'T STORMWIND SACKED?

Yeah they should've made it clear that Ogrim is Blackrock tbh. As for Sacking of stormwind, I thought that was supposed to happen too, so when I got home I dug around and it turns out that:

"The initial invasion of the Horde was crushed completely by the Humans, but after a change in power the Orcish Horde came back for a second attempt. " So it was correctly done in the movie after all.

I'm sad that I didn't notice the wanted poster reference in Stormwind. D: But I did see a Summoning stone in the background in the forest in one scene, and that made me giggle. xD Oh and the murloc ofc. And not to mention Khadgar's polymorph and he goes "it only lasts for one minute" 

Also I think I was the only one of my friends that guessed the woman in the black cube was probably Medivh's mother. (I might be wrong ofc, but I'm thinking that was her?) Also I loved Medivh's Sargeras form.

ANYWAY yeah, I loved it. I recommend it to everyone who likes WoW/Warcraft.

Vez, drawn by Mags! Yay! Thanks again. (Recommend to open in new window, as it's rather large)

Yay, a Mags! It looks amazing, I love her face!

Some of the zones make me tempted to play. Maybe DH, or the new Survival Hunter would make the game somewhat fun again. Maybe ...

Everything about Legion makes me tempted to play, makes me feel excited about WoW like never before.. but then I log on and realize it's still WoD. :| Gief legion pls

There are so many positive/awesome things about Legion, for me, that I don't even know where to begin... xD

DHs look awesome, and I knew ever since the Gamescon reveal that my new main will be a DH. I love all their mobility abilities and their ability animations <3 They look so much fun to play! Also loving all the zones, especially Highmountain and Stormheim.. they are perfect examples of my favourite zone types (and they feel very Wotlk-like <3).

The scaled leveling thing is awesome, lots of freedom and all that All of the transmog related stuff is super epic, especially that they finally include TABARDS!! (goodbye 53 tabards I have in the bank ) and like someone mentioned above, that it includes items from quests you did in the past that you may not even have chosen! Plus you can see item skins you haven't even obtained yet.

I am also loving their plans for end-game... seems a lot more interesting and fun compared to WoD, which is great because end-game in WoD was one of the reasons I've had sooo many breaks this expansion.. everything just feels so forced and grindy and blerh. While Legion endgame, especially the new "dailies"/objectives, look sort of fun/interesting. And I like the new profession quests and such too!

There's so much else I love about Legion but I just can't remember it all atm, and I'm sure all the stuff I've said has been said already but I'm just so excited and had to let some of it out before I explode, aaaaaah! xD The whole expansion just gives me the same feel Wotlk did, which is a great thing. I don't think I've been this excited for an expansion ever. Not even my WoD hype was anywhere near this.

EDIT: Also for those who don't know, blizzard said during the Q&A that currently, demon hunters of both factions can communicate through speaking demonic to each other. They're not certain it'll stay though, but apparently it is being considered.
