    I feel nearly physical pain for what they've done to the race that's the favorite of most of us here.
    Lassara could have been so much better, her death was understandable, but I had hoped she would have shown a hell of a lot more hatred on the Leviathan.

    Hard to disagree.

    The Zerg got it bad in WoL due to the Overmind thing and then had more dirt kicked into their eyes in HotS what with how they implemented the Primal Zerg, so I guess it's now the Protoss' turn for some rodgering.... again.
    Yes, that's right! That is indeed ME on the right.

    You're ASSUMING they'll get the rodgering, maybe Blizzard will spend 90% of the game with petty bickerings and such, and pointless fighting.

    I'm legitimately expecting them to retcon the Aeon of Strife as being Amon's doing.
    Zeratul: I have journeyed through the darkness between the most distant stars. I have beheld the births of negative-suns and borne witness to the entropy of entire realities...
    Aldaris: Did not! That doesn't even make sense!
    Zeratul: Shut up, I totally did!

    Well, it killed off a lot of Protoss, and they did say that the Protoss have been systematically hunted for a very long time now... :\
    Aaand sold.


    Be it through hallowed grounds or lands of sorrow
    The Forger's wake is bereft and fallow

    Is the residuum worth the cost of destruction and maiming;
    Or is the shaping a culling and exercise in taming?

    The road's goal is the Origin of Being
    But be wary through what thickets it winds.

    They will do that and pretend the Dominion military wasn't totally smashed in WoL and HoTS.

    The Dominion is made up of easily C&P'd clones and easy-to-rebuild Legos, so why not?

    I've already kind of assumed that's somewhat the case. Why have complex in-fighting and political and religious motivations when you have one one dude's ego.



    Rest In Peace, Old Friend.

    Why? By then the Xel'Naga hadn't even landed on Zerus yet, so this was well before Amon desired the Zerg as a weapon.

    Quote of the year. I'm going to make this my bumper sticker.

    The Aeon of Strife started right after the Xel'Naga left Aiur. And Amon was there when the protoss were created.

    Meh, I don't care anymore. I've got my own little comforting fantasy in my own head that I can create, so screw Legacy of the Void.

    *goes and sits in a rocking chair with a cup of coffee*

    Hmm, yes, I can make my own, much better hybrids....*sips*...and the Terrans stop having artificial conflicts....oh, and Aldaris is alive. Yeah. Ahh, good stuff.
