Protoss culture, extremely underdeveloped for this point in the franchise, is bound to be way more complex than robots with brains.
[insert social justice warrior joke about the oppression of robotic lifeforms by the bio-archy.]
As opposed to the even older hivemind, insectoid trope or the advanced, but immature aliens trope? Read a couple books by Olaf Stapledon from the 30's with these tropes and I doubt they were original then.Quote:
I'm just so boggled that an older than dirt scifi trope gets put in, and it's probably making me more than a little irritating.
Also, it's good to see that the experience with Ragnarok is universal. Never ceases to entertain me.
But seriously, Rag, get some treatment.
Another CLASSICQuote:

ANOTHER classic
....
whatever
They never explicated the significant threat Preservers posed to Ulrezaj or Amon. After some leaked material revealed a Fenix portrait, possibly in Purifier form, I wonder if the Purifiers will delve into Rohana's memories to collect the experience and personalities of long dead Templar... Like Fenix.
Interesting topic.
As for the "primal Zerg." I thought the concept was interesting of survivor organisms that were able to escape the initial phase of the zerg development.
But the way Blizzard handled it was retarded.
1. it made no sense that Kerrigan would even be able to get there.
2. they were there exclusively to provide a reason for specific game play elements they wanted ie: evolve Kerrigan, an additional character for Kerrigan to talk to (I mean what would have been wrong if there were multiple queens in the "briefing room"), the "psi destroyer" mission...
3. the idea of Zerus being a jungle world and not an ash world like char pissed me off
4. a reason (if you can call it that) for Zeratual to be in the campaign
As for the Purifiers (Never liked the name)
I think their backstory lies in their name and one of the colossi backstories.
Basically they were TOO good at killing to the point where they wiped out entire civilizations.
Eventually the Protoss developed their guardian of lower lifeforms philosophy and determined the purifiers to be an illegal weapon of war
I don't mind the concept of the purifiers, but I think that someone here might be right and they'll just be a stupid plot device.
I would like it if they were just a sub faction of the Protoss rather than "the key to solve mission x"
totaly agree with point 2, about point 3 is easy these jungle is not vegetal all are zerg life form, this is Zerus jungle :Quote:

I sincerely hope not. The whole idea of it (if Purifier Fenix does make an appearnce in LOtV that is) makes me wonder whether Blizz is just overcompensating to negative fan reaction for his non-reference in WoL and the subsequent singular shoehorned-in and inane reference in HotS. They've ruined enough dead/thought-to-be-dead characters already, let Fenix rest in peace.Quote:

To be fair, a Purifier Fenix would only be an echo of the original, echos of his thoughts resounding through the Khala.
And those echoes won't be heard at all anymore once Amon corrupts the Khala.Quote:
