I am calling it now...Anduin is the key to our defeating the Jailor and here is exactly how.The Jailor is so arrogant, that he created the 'Kingsmourne' / 'Shalamourne' thing, sword.That sword, has the unique ability to take the Sigil from an Eternal One.I am calling it now....Anduin will 'come back to us' somehow and then use the Mourneblade on Zovaal, taking back all 5 sigils, stripping him of his power just as we need to defeat him.The Jailor is clearly so arrogant, that he is leaving the weapon of his demise in what he believes is a 100% mind-controlled human, which we know is false in the Kyrian cinematic. Anduin is in there somewhere, he just needs a moment to 'break-out'I am calling it now...
YES. I have been waiting FOREVER for an expansion where our backs are now to the wall. We lost, we fought the good fight, many died, we learned alot and nothing at the same time. Roles have changed, our eternal battle now pushed into a new realm of lore barely ever touched. Most importantly... WE LOST..... FINALLY we didn't have the fairy book ending and now we have to scramble to find a way to win against an unstoppable force of power almost as old as time. GOOD JOB BLIZZARD.
...Well.At least Zovaal looks pretty cool.That's about all I can say.
Love the Jailors look but a bit tired that every single thing has to be a cliffhanger that resembles a never ending soap opera. Wouldn't be so frustrated if we had more backstory on Zuvall. Suddenly he's the biggest baddie in the universe - and all we know is, he now has something that he had once before.
Anybody wish we got to experience a quiet, personal moment with Sylvanas and her soul? I was hoping, after decades, we'd see her reflecting or at lest be given a contemplative, emotional scene with just her and her soul (or wherever it was contained.) It does not feel acceptable to have had her soul thrusted into her with so much activity around her. It was too busy to feel the weight of what such a powerful, long-awaited moment should have been. Inappropriately and heartlessly conceived, no thought given to us or her. It should have been quieter, thoughtful, an intense moment for her an wc/wow fans. I feel like we and her deserve a special, intimate moment with the reuniting of her with her soul, partly because we've waited so long, but mostly, it just feels right, compassionate, and necessary. The writer stole that moment from her and us.I'm not jumping on a bandwagon for or against anyone, but blizzard please, the writer did not consider wc/wow's past, its following, us fans and players, the story's characters, etc. Nothing and no one was considered with this empty scene. Instead of making a memorable and meaningful experience for us, witnessing Sylvanas and her soul in a quiet moment, the writer ruined us and her and a portion of wow. The knowingly took something away from us.They could have had her alone, approach her soul or where it was contained, and shown flashback or sounds from the past, with us left not knowing if she'd choose to merge with it, until later when we see her either still undead or fixed, that would be a cool reveal. Then later/after a while, we could have cut back to the moment we left her to make her decision, and see her interaction and contemplation before a beautiful moment of either choosing to merge or walk away.Not only did the writer ruin us and her, they threw away potential and opportunities for a poignant and emotional scene with her and her soul. Her making a difficult decision, and quite possibly her remembering what it was like to be the real her before she was turned. She could have remembered quel'thalas, lor'themar, being a ranger, leaves falling while hunting, silvermoon, arthas, her sisters, her deeds since being changed, and so on. Instead, the writer made a stage with flashing lights and noises and a giant throw her soul at her (which somehow also caused a e.m.p. for even more extra noise and flashiness, and nothing about it was personal, intimate, reflective, quiet, important, meaningful or memorable. The writer made a forgettable scene out of what should have been a long awaited, holding our breath, edge of our seats decision making moment, like, would Gollum decide to walk away from the ring or not kind of decision. A lot has lead to her moment with her soul, but the writer didn't think of us or her, and that's scary and sad just how evil they are, knowing this was supposed to be a very special moment for us and her, and they took it upon themselves to deny a resonant moment. Not all of us need or want over the top spectacle. You're making nothing matter.
I'm not great when it comes to lore but wth is going on? We went from "this world is a cage" to "I will never serve" and I don't clearly understand why. Sylvanas committed a bunch of atrocities on Azeroth, betrayed the Horde, and forced her way into the Shadowlands for....? Once there she allied with a clearly bad dude, abandoned her friends and allies, and continued to just all out antagonize everyone... because this furthered what goal exactly? Then she betrays the Jailer having finally achieved what exactly?idk why she did what she did and that makes it really hard to care. Why the heck was it necessary to kill Saurfang or beat up the lich king? Why was turning Anduin important to her plans? What does this have to do with the speculative return of half her soul?
I didn't see her getting her soul back. This isn't a "redemption" that people keep saying it is. Now she has her full soul and now has to deal with the full effect of her actions over the years. She didn't do this for anyone other than herself, she doesn't want to be a mindless slave again and thought the Jailer wanted what she wanted: for everyone to be given choices. That's why she wanted Anduin to choose to help them, not just force him to do it which would've been the easier route. That's why she wanted to just go, they had what they wanted. But he wanted to show off and make people zombies, and that's not what she thought the plan was. Obviously the Jailer tells different people different things, so who knows what else he has up his sleeve.Also...his armor looked very Drust, was he the leader of the Drust once? Excited to see where it goes
That portal looks otherwordly. Can't wait to see the map behind that.
They can still have those moments you know... you only speak for yourself in this regard. We were going to have quiet moment in a raid lol. I want to see how she feels now after getting her soul back fully, will she want to see her sisters, Nathanos...we are going to get to speak to her and see how she feels. Getting her soul back wasn't a gift, and it's something I don't think she wanted nor expected. Its not forgettable and I thought it was well done.
Yawn, gee I wonder what'll happen.I can see it now,we're gonna capture sylvannas and then when the next patch drops in 6 to 8 months, we're gonna start a new campaign where we interrogate Sylvannas since she's the only link to the jailer that we have. Then we start our journey where we get to do some small quest-line every week for a month or two, on some new tiny little zone (probably where the jailer went to through that portal) were we get to do our daily chores to farm rep with another faction. And at the end of this campaign we'll be besties with Sylvannas and then we get to take the fight to the jailer himself, $%^&ing la-dee-da! And to top it off, they're gonna sell it to us like it's the most epic thing in the world.
... except you do face your consequences in death. There's a whole domain that is based on the wicked facing the consequences of their choices in life. Another where you relive then, originally, get your memories wiped. Another where your experiences in life fuel your tenacity to defend your new existence. And a final one where your actions in life put you in the position of continuing to serve the natural world.Death is a direct extension of your life in WoW now. Have you played this expansion at all?
