How does Suramar exist in WoW if it was said to be destroyed in Warcraft III?

>>
>>382729867
Well I mean it's an entire city that was featured in Warcraft III, you'd think Blizzard wouldn't forget it was destroyed
>>
Because it was hidden by magic in a force field to keep everyone out. Not too dissimilar to how pandas were hidden

>>382728310
Lame series, lame games, lazy lore, bad developers.
>>
>>382729867
they give enough shit about lore to use lore as an excuse for shitting up classes
>>
>>382728310
Because Blizzard is pure shit and has been pure shit since the first WoW expansion. They have fucked the whole WC lore to the point where it's totally unrecognisable.
>>
Vanilla WoW basically ruined TFT, since they had to mangle the story to tie into the MMO.

The Undead campaign would have been awesome if not for the constant Sylvanas interruptions, a terrible character nobody fucking cared about or even liked.

Cataclysm raised it, duh?

What makes you say that?
>>
>>382728310
they changed it to: large parts of suramar were sent below the waves after the sundering. But Suramar proper was put under a giant bubble like Dalaran in vanilla WoW.

ToS was also part of the city that was sunk

How did a city last thousands of years with no outside contact or resources?

Those assholes.
>>
>>382728310
because Gul'dan came back to raise the Tomb of Sargeras from the sea, which also happened to include the city of Suramar.

Until Legion actually released and then they decided that Suramar never sank beneath the sea, and that it along with the rest of the broken isles has existed forever
>>
>>382745108
That was some shit.
>>
>>382744112
not interested in discussing how realistic things are in a fantasy universe game w/ talking orcs and demons
>>
>>382745338
The Broken Isles weren't underwater and nu-Gul'dan only raised the tomb, this is probably still a retcon
>>
>>382745495
Orcs, OK. But talking orcs? I mean come on you have to draw the line somewhere.
>>
>>382745495
>t-theyre throwing FIREBALLS and you want to talk about logic?!?!??!?? xD hahahhahaha!
Fucking neck yourself. Settings have to be internally consistent no matter how much magic is in them.
>>
>>382744112
It didn't. They had to draw power from the Nightwell in order to survive which inadvertently made them reliant on said power. The city is literally on the point of collapse to the Burning Legion when you get there in Legion.

Whopsie, so hard.
>>
>>382746424
Pretty sure they lived almost entirely off the energy from the nightwell
>>
>>382733658
And since they tied the story to an MMO, they shoe horned themselves into a situation where they can't make WC4 because it'll conflict with the MMOfags.

Unless they do an event that encompasses the campaign but that seems like too much effort for Blizz
>>
>>382731195
Except that you can literally see the giant bubble from the freaking Tomb. It wasn't THAT far away at all. Given that there used to be a bridge connecting the Temple/Tomb and city proper, it couldn't have been that far away.
>>
>>382746041
those kinds of things are super important. lore and consistency. i got asked about a city lasting thousands of years with no outside contact or resources
>>
>>382746913
WoW's world is scaled down for gameplay reasons
>>
>>382744112
Of all the broken isles lore issues this isn't one at all.
They lived off the night well to the point the became dangerously addicted worse then the high elves, so food and water was no problem.
Inbreeding also wasn't an issue until recently because they were immortal until malfurion cucked them.
>>
>>382746913
Why is the tomb even near suramar at all? Suramar must have been sealed by the time she killed the avatar so they could have had no hand in its construction.

You'd know if you actually played the game.

He's referencing the Fallout quote by Pete Hines newfag.

>blasted into the sea
>10,000 years ago

but it was really just missing/hidden.

sounds an awful lot like how actual legends and myths work in real life.
>>
>>382747221
It used to be a temple of Elune
>>
>>382747221
Suramar buried itself in the bubble ten thousand years ago. The Temple of Elune on the Broken Shore sank beneath the ocean. Aegwynn defeated the Avatar a thousand years ago. She raised the Temple of Elune up from the bottom of the ocean to bury it there and sank the island back down again. Since then the Temple of Elune has been known as the Tomb of Sargeras.
>>
>>382747507
But she used to live there, she recognized the city
>>
So Elune is an old god on the moon, right?
It's an evil twisted underground squid with a hot female voice, right?
>>
>>382751268
Elune is probably a naaru
>>
>>382746762
they can and will do whatever they want as long as it nets them $$$. Spoiler: cash shop skinner box subscription shovelware will make them orders of a magnitude more money than making another RTS for a niche community
>>
>>382751342
But Elune has no association with the Light
