Fangs of the Devourer; The Kingslayers

December 31, 2016 by kamaliaetalia

My Rogue was next.


The Subtelty questline raises a few intriguing questions, chiefly about our prime informant, Val’zuun — what’s his story? why is he helping us? what does his presence in Dalaran say about the security of the city?


I’d hope to learn a little more about Garona in the Assassination questline, so I was a bit disappointed there. Overall, though, I found the Assassination questline to be the most interesting of the three.
Being Horde in Alliance territory, even with the phasing so that there were only hostile NPCs present, no hostile players, made it feel quite tense. All the sneaking around a foreign city swarming with guards reminded me of what little I’ve personally experienced — and what I’ve read many complaints about — in Suramar City. I kept getting caught by the detail that the guards who could see through stealth didn’t have detection limit circles around them, the way I’ve gotten used to seeing in most relatively recent content. I’d get revealed, and if Vanish wasn’t up, I was toast.
Before Garona and I got to the city, there was that town in an Alliance lowbie zone that, from what I remember of playing through that zone long long ago in pre-Cataclysm days, seems to have been horribly betrayed by those who were once its protectors. The presence of Winter Veil decorations made it feel particularly creepy. What is the fallout from what happened there? It seems like more people than just the Rogues should eventually know about it — but this is another situation where even though high-level players really ought to see the town changed, the town won’t change, because of how integral it is to the lowbie leveling experience.
Also, where was that one Priest NPC who is in the same zone for other classes’ Artifact questlines when all this was going down? Shouldn’t he have been there, in the town, stopping that, rather than elsewhere in the zone, fretting about something else? Or did he not arrive in the zone until after the events in the town were over?

I did both of these questlines as Outlaw; I didn’t particularly feel like setting up action bars and choosing talents. I’ll probably eventually set up at least one of the other specs, though, for when I want to do Rogue Mogs that use daggers.

      Well… it *did*. Not quite up to The Secret World or Stand Still, Stay Silent levels of creepy, though!
