Wait around, I'll smile again (iwanttobeasleep) wrote in fandom_lounge,

I know I just posted, but. . .
Blizzard's sense of humor remains intact; PETA is making an appearance in the World of Warcraft!

In WoW, Nesingwary (who is a rather cute reference to Hemingway) gives players quests to kill lots and lots and lots of animals (often without any purpose, as opposed to the quests that have you kill for meat or skins). In the upcoming expansion, DEHTA, short for Druids for the Ethical and Humane Treatment of Animals, has formed to combat him and his hunters. DEHTA gives players quests to kill the hunters and bring back their ears. And if you kill an animal and go to them, they smell the animal blood on you and attack.

I ♥ Blizzard.

	Does this mean no more killing quests for Nesingwary? I got one of the most useful pally librams in the game from him. Lulz, Blizzard. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Nope, he crashed his airplane and will be there. I wonder if he has a second son to take over for him in Outland. I love that pally libram, awesome thing. Especially after they nerfed the Karazhan one so it does less for FoL than the Nesingwary one does. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Yeah, that kinda sucked, but it was only good if you raid had BoL on it... I mostly 10 man raid, and if I'm the only paladin, people want salv or kings. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	It was nice for 25-mans (given, my group had an inordinate amount of paladins) but I don't use HL enough to justify using it after the nerf. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	omfg that's awesome. where'd you see this? (Reply to this)(Thread)

	iwanttobeasleep 2008-05-09 08:28 pm UTC (link)
	I heard it on the Legendary Thread. Also reported on by WorldofWar.net, but in less amusing detail. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Blizzard, please have my children? (or maybe incarnate them in WoW?) (Reply to this)

	rekall 2008-05-09 08:46 pm UTC (link)
	I love you Blizzard. &hearts (Reply to this)

	Will DEHTA also give you quests to FREE THE POOR ANIMALS kept by experimenting wizards? (Reply to this)(Thread)

	iwanttobeasleep 2008-05-09 10:50 pm UTC (link)
	And then kill them when you do? That'd be an awesome quest. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	tarash 2008-05-10 08:36 am UTC (link)
	Or have the now freely roaming critters affect the ecological system of the area! (Reply to this)(Parent)

	wolfsamurai 2008-05-09 10:11 pm UTC (link)
	Can you kill the DEHTA people and bring their body bits back to the hunters instead? Because I'd rather do that. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	cygnia 2008-05-09 11:11 pm UTC (link)
	I would sooooooooo do that as a daily. Between that, whacking Netherwing peons with the booterang and freeing murlocs by the Sunwell, that would be the best grind ever. :-D (Reply to this)(Parent)

	hallidae 2008-05-10 02:05 pm UTC (link)
	That's exactly what my WOW-playing buddy said when I mentioned this. "Can you kill them? It's not awesome unless you can kill them." (Reply to this)(Parent)

	fantine 2008-05-10 07:48 pm UTC (link)
	I want there to be a quest where you kill Nesingwary. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	chikane 2008-05-10 06:31 pm UTC (link)
	http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/community/comics/images/ss157.jpg For those who don't quite know what Nesingwary is like. DEHTA cracks me up, though xD (Reply to this)(Thread)

	demonbean 2008-05-10 08:51 pm UTC (link)
	Especially funny given that it's "...and Humane," when Humans can't be hunters. Anyone else notice that? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	pyratejenni 2008-05-12 02:24 am UTC (link)
	Yeah.:( Humans should be hunters! And gnomes should be druids. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	demonbean 2008-05-10 08:50 pm UTC (link)
	Hey! What if the kodo attacked me first?! (Reply to this)(Thread)

	pyratejenni 2008-05-12 02:23 am UTC (link)
	And those rabbits always hopping around! (Reply to this)(Parent)

	moripubes 2008-05-12 03:46 pm UTC (link)
	Aww, did it have to be us Druids? I love skinning my forest friends. (Reply to this)
