A shame we'll be waiting for further developments in story, but damn did the new Jailer model look awesome.
So basically Jailer can partially drag souls/anima into his realm, leaving behind only half-personalities, likely nihilistic and spiteful, taking away their willingness to fight against death. Perhaps Arthas went through similar procedure, Frostmourne sending a part of his soul/anima to the Jailer the moment he touched it. Then, ironically, Uther threw what remained of Arthas to the Maw, reuniting the prince with his better half. So the Sylvanas that existed since WC3 has been a sort of husk with no brakes.This would explain things but it also devalues everything she's been until now. This would mean that she's kind of been a half-character, with dimensions/sides literally stolen from her.Okay, but how would Blizzard explain everyone else's shallowness?)
Awesome
Blizzard writing: An enigma wrapped in a mystery, with little-to-no explanation about anything.What do the sigils actually do?What attacked the Arbiter in the first place?What is Zovaal's actual plan beyond a vague "remake reality?"Why are mortals at the apex of the Shadowlands conflict instead of leaders of the damn realm itself?Cosmically bad storytelling.
The reason people find it cringeworthy, is because it is the kind of writing you'd expect out of a teenage fan fiction with intentions of profit and Disney-level character exploitation. This story has been told (Blizzard even) before and it is turning from dreary to disgusting and for what I can see, the vocal majority have had it.Blizzard is done caring about the fans who care and placate to the placid fans who don't see anything but "cool character does cool stunts for me", which amounts to taking a celebrity people once cared about, playing a music box and forcing them to dance so they still make money, rather than doing what Hollywood refuses to do and Blizzard equally: listening to the truely invested fans (not any longer sadly) who can manage to argue for themselves. But simply destroying everything in the bame of "WOOOOW OH MY GOD" so that those who once lost interest just feel alienated and infuriated to see something they once were invested in be dragged through the filth.
we are gonna need alot more anima to overcome Zovaal...whose down for MORE farming? lolol Anyone else think the Zovaal's face looks like Megatron from the Transformers franchise? lol
I am a blizzard boy since i can remember, always trying to justify anything going on on a positive basis. But this has nothing to do with the EPIC ending the devs were promising all this time we have been waiting for 9.1 to come. Nothing epic, not even a proper CGI cinematic after all this time waiting for something. Blizzard should start respecting their costumeras a lot more, otherwise it is really gonna go bad for everyone.Rendering peoples work useless by implemending domination mechanics without giving us the option to even refund Legendaries once, stupid decisions on mechanics that people really hate without hearing us, we are paying for this game after all. It's not like people want to decide on the course of the game, but wanting Blizzard to respect the time and effort they put into it.
They could have done soooo much better but i guess the PEGI 7+ is hard to repect.Just have the jailer (or anduin) horrendously mutilate her but keep her alive and at the end restore her soul so she can suffer a lot. This would have been so much than this "oh you betray me you big bad girl here take your soul again)But no keep it family friendly, no one dies / suffer.
Well, I think this makes sense, we have seen it with Uther, maybe even with Arthas. It was not Sylvanas doing all the bad stuff, it was just her bad half basically. I never wanted her redemption, considering what she has done was just too much, but the idea that it actually wasn't her doing that, makes it a bit more acceptable, at least to me.
To all you guys grumbling about that "I will not serve" thing. Keep in mind that Sylvanas is not mind-controlled like Anduin (or like Thrall, Jaina and Bolvar were for a while in this cinematic). She realized in this cinematic that Jailer will not give a choice to anyone, even her. She want to do everything willingly but I guess she hoped that undoing/rebuilding the universe will be different than what Jailer is finally up to. Imho, he want to be the ultimate ruler / tyrant who want to enslave all by his magic (no free will for whole existance, only his concept of reality). She thought to the end that she will have a choice in the end or will be Jailer left hand / the only one not mind-controlled. I guess we will know in the next patch about that.
Whelp i saw this coming, Looks like they are going with the WOD version "yes i committed mass genocide, but i helped you beat the big bad, so you can just forget that now" Shes going to become our ally, even tyrande will forgive her and when we finally face the jailer, she will take his place i bet in order to repent for her crimes
WoW 2.0 incoming ?
Looked through a few pages, admittedly not all...Can someone transcribe basically every word the jailer said? Or record the cinematic with subtitles cause.... I got nothing from him.
I really wonder, do those people have no pride? There's bad, and there's this. Inexcusable.
