That's how you stretch a thin story to be barely enough for the next 2 years, ladies and gentlemen.
Not a massive fan of the direction of Sylvanas, especially if this is some sort of redemption or good guy swing.I do hope the Jailer does reshape reality and make the process of death less confusing, bring the Shadowlands in to life and when you die you just die. Spirits can still linger in life as ghosts, etc.
LOL.Blizzard has literally the very best cinematics team.ANDBlizzard has literally the very worst writing team.LOL.This @#$%show is absolutely hilarious~
At least the Jailer kept his word. lol
Great article, really puts things into prespective.Readong other comments, i am kinda tired of the community response to story beats - absolutely nothinf ever satisifies the trolls.
Super nice end story of this patch (9.1.0)"The Jailer, unperturbed by Sylvanas, unleashes the chains binding Jaina, Thrall, and Bolvar. He leaves with the Arbiter's sigil and Anduin, who discards his father's compass--a symbolic shedding of his humanity (or perhaps, a coded message left behind to help us). However, as a parting gift to Sylvanas, he reaches into the ether and restores a blue crystal, claiming that she helped restore something stolen from him, so he'll return the favor."The Jailer kill's no one, is he good or bad, is he a part of The First One's ?The compass Anduin left behind to help us on your'e way to the next patch (9.2.0) maybe ?Maybe this is the titel of the next patch (9.2.0) "The Fate of the Jailer"
I don't know what I expected.The characters turning one way around so fast, it's hard to believe the sincerity of their motives.Jaina turned against the Horde and back so fast.Now Sylvanas.I'm starting to appreciate characters like Arthas, Kael'thas, Garrosh, Deathwing.
The jailor winning, although expected, looks cool. Sylvanas suddenly changing her mind about something that was obvious is just dumb. Mind control?, yeah right.
good god all you peeps complaining about sylvanas her fate. yes its a redemtion story big deal. for the past couple years you all where like they cant kill her off or i will be mad. they cant pull a illidan on her or i will be mad. they cant do a redemtion for her or i will be mad. well all chooises would make you mad and you should have seen it coming... be glad we will see more of her for now! this is prolly the best chooise of all 3 chooises there where!. and if you truly know her lore and how she is as a person this cinematic how she turned against the jailer was amazing wether she was under control or not or half her soul gone or not she still was always in control of some way cuz even with half or her soul under control she still refused to serve! and thats the sylvanas strong mind/heart/soul ( whatever you wana call it ) i know!. but hey if you all dont like it the unsub button is one click away :)
Don't let the door hit you on the way out ;)
As WoW cinematics go, it’s nothing out of the ordinary, but it’s certainly not terrible. Lots of pithy words, with lots of meaning but not quite enough substance to show me the exact direction of the next chapter of the story. I don’t view it as Sylvanas redeemed, far from it; she has her ‘good part’ of her soul back, has to face up to what she did, and I’ve no idea how she will be dealt with, that could be a nice piece of story to come. The way the jailer is transformed, stating that this thing has been returned to him, and the ‘new reality’ is intriguing, something which could see 10.0 going in a fascinating direction, kept deliberately vague to allow us to speculate. Anduin being dragged off is quite fun, I’ve chased that guy around Azeroth and beyond since he was a kid, wonder if he can survive this latest scrape he has got himself into. The locket reminds me of all that has happened to him and his dad previously - wonder if it will play a direct part in us saving him? I give it 7.5/10. While I am here, there’s a lot of negativity going around aimed at Shadowlands, of which this thread of comments is an ample example, but for my part I am happy with the gameplay and the story, and looking forward to Season 2 this morning. It’s quite the thankless task trying to please many millions of players who invest so much (time and money) into the game, and I try not to become too entitled and think of the hours put in by the devs, remembering that they ultimately want WoW to succeed too. Stay grounded guys!
I have a feeling that Anduin is not going to make it out of this expansion alive 🤔
Such a shame... I know Blizzards writing lately is really really really bad. But this is just another Generic villain who is going to enslave all to be under his command :<. They even created more options, for instance they could have made him actually be the good guy and all of us be bad without knowing and that way redemption of Sylvanas would actually make more sense. This way they just created loophole with soul splitting in 2 when killed by mournblade and made just another generic villain and created really bad redemption arc for Sylvanas that is not going to go down well with either her fans and especially those who are not her fans. What is even the point of not killing her right there and then if she betrays him like that instead he lets her live and gives her half the soul back...... Just completely hitting and missing multiple times with this writing...
Pity Elune didn't let Tyrande kill her. Sylvanas might have lacked a part of her soul, but not her supposed intelligence. She should have seen all along whom she served. Even Anduin told it to her face. And the things she did are unforgivable.No redemption for Sylvanas - she doesn't deserve any, missing piece of her soul or no.
So in the end, she was a worthless puppet. Well done Blizzard lol
Does this mean she's going to get her belly-showing living elf armor back?
