"What Sword" Memes and Discussion

Recommended Posts

Yesterday's Asmongold interview with Ion Hazzikostas spawned a new series of memes and discussion, as a certain giant implement sticking out of the planet got a lot of new attention! We've already heard that Sargeras' sword is nothing but a "splinter" now in previous interviews, but this comment really fired up the community, so let's take a look.

Let's start at the beginning with the actual source comment, as Ion took the comedic approach to Asmongold's question:

Then the Warcraft twitter joined in:

And then the floodgates opened:

The comment also spawned a lot of discussion as to the actual fate of the object, with many different opinions:

The sword opens up a total cross-over opportunity for Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars.

Member when they hyped that the sword will play a role during the Jailer fight?

The best way to resolve the sword would be to have Azeroth's avatar wield the sword in some future ex pac (any maybe there is a difficult way for us to obtain it as a legendary).

Maybe Hazzikostas meant that it is not actually a sword.......

I'm curious on this myself... do you have any sources? I don't think I have heard of this plot honestly.

      The Secrets of the Forbidden Reach patch arrived this week with its new features and class tuning, and the WoW community promptly reacted and got the meme/funny image factory going.
      First off we have the flood of Paladins in PvP, as players became resigned to just letting Rets have Solo Shuffle for themselves before Blizzard sped up the upcoming nerfs and made them live immediately.
      Blizzard carefully deciding my teammates when I queue Solo Shuffle

      Solo shuffle right now...
      rets are the new hunters

      When you play your first arenas in 10.0.7 and a retri paladin one shots you

      And this last one didn't quite age well:
      Oh, We are happy!

      The new cosmetic coming from the Baine questline has improved role playing possibilities:
      I can finally RP ad Shadowlands Baine.
      Then we have a very classic WoW experience we've probably all had:
      There was also some speculation on what the Incarnates did when they were freed:
      What I imagined the Incarnates were doing for all those months being free. What do you think their search history looks like?

      A player ran across probably the best guild recruitment message ever:
      Nice

      Beast Mastery is also on the same rollercoaster ride that Retribution is on, with it getting good after the patch and then getting some nerfs, but the spec's future is looking good:

      In Patch 10.1, all races gain a new Eyesight toggle, which lets you pick between left, right, both, or none as blind eye options.
      Thanks to the new customization option, each eye will look slightly different, as seen below.
