I'm still holding on to the itty bitty sliver of hope that they aren't just doing another boring "Horde leader is the final boss"
I like how people are fine with having a mind-controlled edgelord with icy sword with literally 0 complexity or old gods that have NO motivation, but eternal hunger, yet when Blizzard creates a controvercial and complex character that makes life-like decidions that make you question not only things in game but also thing in your reality, every1 is like "jeez she is just mad and evil yo I quit poor writing". I mean, she explained her motivations NUMEROUS times, yet still people are shooked by her actions. I mean, every war has complexity. What a better way to add through despair and hope. She is desperate. Desperate people aren't evil. They act out of their believes and emotions, because they have nothing to hold on to(hope) and eliminate the whole existance of "hope" because they are above it. I'm honestly so shocked that people are so close-minded when it comes to war and motivations. "Everything must be just and explained 100% and omg she is Hitler she is BAD"Look at yourselves :\
We have not been at peace, ever. Why so surprised now?Do you kill Alliance players on sight? Yes, normally you do from my experience. Has Horde always been bad guys? Yes! Own it or start playing Alliance already.
Fact you can't even skip part 2 on alts shows once again Blizz hates the Alliance and takes every opportunity to kick em when they are down.
Sylvanus actually reminds me of a scene from the old Batman Beyond cartoonBruce Wayne: Sure Ra's, why not? Anything to hold off the Grim Reaper a few more seconds. I take it back. You don't cheat death. You whimper in fear of it! Ra's al Ghul: SILENCE! (slaps Bruce) Bruce: And you hit like a girl.
This is what Vol'jin died for? Screw you Blizzard and your lies! @wowhead please prepare the meanest Q&A possible, I'm sick of these non answers from Blizzard.
Pained me to see Sylvanas and the high elves ( my main as well) being destroyed by ArthasEven though the burning was a bit much For The Horde!
I like the suggestion that Sylvanas might be under Old God influence. Otherwise the only way this is explicable is from a "total war" perspective; and that's a pretty weak justification, at least from what they've given us so far.
Hold on, this might sound crazy, but this isnt Blizzard going Garrosh 2.0, but actuall well done story with everything being explained later. The thing is, all of things Sylvanas after becoming a Warchief, were Cartoonishly Evil, To the point that playerbase, even Horde don't UNDERSTAND what she is doing, and her reasoning. And what did Vol'jin said before his Death? that many will not understand. He couldn't been corrupted by the old gods, as his spirit appears in Horde storyline, and is helping us through the Journey, without showing any sign of change from our Vol'jin, and if he was corrupted and old gods spoke him that, he should've known that by now, and would tell us that Sylvanas shouldn't be a Warchief. But he didn't. Blizzard already said that they are making expansions, already preparing story for the next one, so blizzard already knows the direction they wanna take. At this point we know nothing, only pretty much one patch at maximum about BfA. You saw what happened in Legion with content patches, did you expect to go to Argus, free Titan pantheon and imprison Sargeras at the beggining of Legion? No, because there weren't any hints of that. We already know that Blizzard somehow, in some way WILL make it go morally grey, or even completely make Horde go back To being Noble, And for now they achieve what they want for beggining, The biggest divide in History of faction wars. In the end there is so much arguing about the outcome, But even best theorists wont guess it, because they never did. And in the end, we all be happy with Blizzard's storywriting by the end of BfA, and call it the best Expansion yet again, for stirring such conflict among the Playerbase.This might be a repeated post, because last time i submitted something here was around 1year ago.
Silvanus' plight is sort of like this (listen to the lyrics):https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dvgZkm1xWPEHer story is sad, yes, but still the plight of a hero's fall and descent into evil.
Garbage Sylvanas.
When Sylvanas became Warchief, I like so many other Horde was fangirling so hard. I was thrilled. The line of "Orc of Orcraft" was done. We were dealt a leader that had so much promise for dynamic storywriting. She was and always will be a master strategist in all of our minds, and having her make foolish decisions like this, it's weak. It's not Sylvanas. We don't want this. There are so many of us not even looking forward to BfA because we don't want one of favorite characters and faction leaders to be written into the ground. It feels like you're doing wrong by us. Sylvanas and the horde deserve better than this lazy writing.
She can do or say what she wants. The reason why I hate the story is that no one in the horde would allow what she’s doing. There lies the bad writing. I as a player killed and stopped evil characters for much less. Everyone around her are champions of the horde. We killed Arthas. We killed Archimonde. We can definitely take her. Even with her puppy next to her. Hell after the book, even him is keeping an eye out to see if his turn is coming.
