No. But without similar experiences against te Scourge, there was no way for Uther to condone his decision. I imagine if their positions had been reversed, Arthas would have been trying to stop a "maddened" Uther from doing the same. The operation of the Scourge went almost completely against how Warcraft Paladins are trained to think. Death before conversion goes as far as saving your soul from eternal damnation, but Uther had no way of even conceiving that with just his Compassion teachings.

it was appalling for sure, but neceessary
Uther was against it purely for moral reasons, his logic doesn't go beyond that

Yes. They shouldve walled off/quarantined instead.

I think this is the best explanation I've seen for the entire situation.

>wall off
>a dreadlord
Yeah, that would surely work.

Oh yeah forgot that bit. Man its been a while hasnt it?

arthas was wrong because he never explicitly tells uther "hey, the plague turns people into zombies", something uther is never actually present to see

Arthas did nothing wrong.

>he never explicitly tells uther "hey, the plague turns people into zombies"
Yes he does.

Uther was secretly working for the dreadlords that's why he act like this, he wanted Arthas to feel isolated, alone with his decision and think that he is the only person seeing the bigger picture. Uther was the mastermind all along his plan was to make Arthas the lich king. You all will see it in the next scourge expansion

no he doesn't. the big meme scene everyone talks about literally opens with "hey, there's something about the plague you should know" before he cuts himself off to start ranting about how they should kill everyone and then when uther doesn't automatically agree to this he goes full retard and fires him instead of slowing down and explaining this shit

no, he probably could have been smoother about it but really there was nothing he could do, a classic example of people who cant into utilitarianism and logical thinking shitting on the only viable choice because 'muh morality and muh virtue'

why is that fire pit as big as those houses?

>my 12 year old self thought this was fine
>my 26 self knows this was necessary

The only mistake arthas made was hurting his bro Muradin

Do you guys trust nu-Blizzard with a WC4?

>wait for the town to turn, lose a few men putting zombies down
or
>provoke a mutiny, lose an entire army including all your undead fighting specialists and your closest dalaran contact

hmmm

>no he doesn't.
Yes, he does.
>Arthas: Oh, no. We're too late. These people have all been infected! They may look fine now, but it's just a matter of time before they turn into the undead!

w4 is never gonna happen because they retconed a lot of the lore so it wouldn't make sense after what happened in wow

ur a dumb dummy doo doo head
>Listen, Uther, there's something about the plague you should know.

Yes, he was. Whether or not it was right to go on purging Stratholme or not was irrelevant, but turning his back almost immediately on Uther and Jaina was a feat in poor leadership on his part. He may not of 'had' to explain his perspective as a prince, but in my experience, people in positions of authority who rest on the fact that they don't 'have' to explain/negotiate don't stay there long. Regardless of what happened afterward, Uther and his Paladins alone would have been a crucial asset in latter conflicts against the Scourge.

I don't if it's because you haven't played in 16 years or want to be retarded but

literally 28 seconds in

The way Muradin died had impact and it kinda pissed me off when, in WotLK, it turned out the Frostmourne sacrifice only gave him AMNESIA
like a fucking soap opera

even if they don't consider WoW canon and just release w4 as a continuation of the events of w3 its gonna confuse everyone to shit and we all know what happens when popular series do that, it turns into a shitshow where everyone just flings poop at the other side, there is no way around this, they can't just retcon all of wow and say 'so guyse nothing of that happened, this is what actually happened'

>wait for the one of the bigger town to turn undead
>while the one of the undead commander is here
>let him have a whole fucking town of undead soldier
>while we only have soldier enough to protect an outpost
God damn Uther stop shitposting
if Arthas let them turn they could lose the war it would turn the tides and the humans couldn't counter attack only defend while losing territories

Is Stratholme the most kino Warcraft have ever been?

I can't wait for Warcraft 4 to be released and it turns out that 20 years of WoW lore is as canon as a deviantart fanfic
honestly its the only way to redeem the company at this point

anyone want to tell me if this is true, someone in another thread said that Arthas was controlled and chosen by Ner'zhul the day he was born. That sounds really dumb to me.

That's exactly what Disney did with Star Wars.

You could pick pretty much any moment from WC3, honestly. It's astounding how far Blizzard has fallen.

The dumbest thing I've ever heard.

Missions, cutscene or Movie?
Because, for me it's
>Map where Arthas kills Uther
>Muradin "you lied to your men, and betrayed the mercenaries who fought for you! What's happening to you, Arthas?" scene
>Arthas kill his father movie thing
that's only reign of chaos
Although, the confrontation between Grom, Thrall and Mag was really good, except that in the long run it meant nothing - which fucking sucks

werent they already revising the lore in wc3 reforged to make match up with WoW more?

Tyrande getting defeated by a river is funnier

How did Arthas kill uther so easily?

a level 3 or 4 DK with a bunch of unupgraded ghouls ...

Was Arthus literally /ourguy/?

Nope. But it took a toll on his psyche. Sometimes you need a warrior, not a paladin. Warriors don't get as upset over killing

frostmourne made him the supreme chad

1: CPU is dumb
2: You had meat wagons too
3: Loderon was pretty much ruined by then
4: Plot

paladins are a joke hero class, only ever picked as a support at the very very end. DKs are picked first in 99% of games

He lied to his men and betrayed the mercenaries who fought for him.
