My reaction to the World of Warcraft – Warlords of Draenor trailer! This trailer was pretty cool in my opinion, although slightly confusing story wise to someone who hasn’t played the game, as always, visually, extremely impressive!!!
Did you play this expansion? Let me know!!!!

Chat talking shit as usual.
Wht the cultists are in FF14 who will never accept any criticism are the crybaby assholes in WoW, who will never do anything but calling it shit.
For me this is the most epic cinematic Blizzard has ever done. And yeah you learned about Gul'dan when you watched the Harbingers shorts (Legion). Maybe you alreaady did but i think you should check out the Lord of War (the shorts about Warlord of Draenor) you will lean the story of Grommash Hellscream (the orc who decided to not drink the demon's blood here).
It's here o/
I did not play the expansion but, I followed the story. This cinematic happens after Garrosh Hellscream (the Warchief of the Horde turned evil in the Mists of Pandaria) was defeated. He managed to time travel to the past right before Guldan tricked and corrupted the orcs in Draenor and alter the timeline by telling his father Grommash Hellscream (the one with the Axe in cinematic) about Guldan's trickery. He also tells him about our world Azeroth and the glory of conquering it so, the story follows the events of the united Orcs building the dark portal and attempt to travel to Azeroth to conquer it. However, The players/heroes storm the portal as soon as it was activated to defeat the Orcs who adopted the name the "Iron Horde".
TL;DR it's a "what if the Orcs were never corrupted by Guldan" story.
Fun fact: The green skin of the orcs originate from them being corrupted by Fel magic (demon magic) in the original timeline. Currently there exists another playable race called the Mag'har orcs who still have their original brown-ish color.
FFXIV Endwalker Spoiler ahead. Be warned
In my opinion, I did not enjoy time travel as much because it exists as a separate time-line. I think FF14 did a much better job in time travel where the actions performed by the player is a part of the original time-line therefor, there is no separate time-line. It is one and the same.
Sorry for the text dump and possible English fuckery. It's my second language and I tried my best.
This cinematic hit incredibly hard at the time because it referenced two key events in Orc history.
The time when they first drank demon blood and became crazed warmongers (I think you read my piece on Jaina – the one who drank first and denied the drink in this cinematic is Garrosh's father, Grommash Hellscream, who eventually bombed Jaina's city). That is reference number 1
The second one is when Grommash defeated the demon (Mannoroth, the most powerful pitlord, who's blood they were supposed to drink). Originally, that happened not on Draenor, but on Azeroth, years later when the Orcs somewhat freed themselves of the corruption and Grommash, as the one who drank first and thus doomed his people, vowed to end Mannoroth and thus free the minds of his people. Originally, Mannoroth exploded just like he did in this cinematic and the last blast killed him. In this timeline, his son Garrosh saved him.
The backstory to the whole timeline stuff is a bit weirder. The short of it is: One of the two surviving non-corrupted black dragons and a bronze dragon (Bronze Flight = Dominion over time) thought it would be necessary for Azeroth to have more forces against the eventual return of the burning legion. At the same time, Garrosh Hellscream was on trial for his warcrimes in Pandaria and for the bombing of Theramore. They thought they convinced Garrosh to travel to an alternate timeline and bring the uncorrputed forces of the Orcs of Draenor (which, in the current timeline is a shattered world named Outland) to Azeroth as additional defenses, as well as sparing them from their fate of becoming demon puppets.
Long story short, the Bronze Dragon went with Garrosh and, in an unpredictable twist, the genocidal war criminal didn't keep his promise, instantly turned on the dragon, killed him and went to build an army not to support Azeroth, but to conquer it as he intended before he was put on trial for warcrimes.
After they defeated Mannoroth, they used Gul'dan and his pupils as batteries to power a massive portal to current Azeroth, allowing people who participated in the pre-patch event to earn the title "of the Iron Vanguard", which, translated into german, sounds almost like "of the Iron Foreskin". Just a little funfact.
Yes, it's a bit of a mess and overall, the lore community tries not to think of what happened over in alternate timeline Draenor.
