9.1 Tyrande cinematic

But this is how the WoW story forum works. Always and for everyone. Is not it so?

Because if we went through the entire list, we’d simply be revisiting every Night Elf thread ever made in the past decade.

The Wolfheart one is just a straight-up lie.

I saw the first bullet point was whining about Night Elves not conquering a zone they had zero presence in pre-Cata and no actual right to and decided it wasn’t worth my time and skimmed the rest. Sue me.

No they got attacked by a shredder they ran into while running back to their mounts.|

S’all good.

Apology accepted. Sorry for getting bitter and calling you out / insulting you about when you started calling people degenerates (don’t do that still btw) but you’re bearing witness what we’ve had to deal with for centuries, but without the rules abiding the forums encourages.

After I’ve seen these people absolutely loose their minds over the 9.1 Ardenweald cinematic(which was good and served the purpose it was meant to serve)….I’m honestly asking myself why I even bother defending some of them. :wolf:

I get they have legitimate complaints, just that…most don’t want to have a honest discussion about fixing those grievances , without maintaining that victim complex.

I’m legit confused on what to do without coming off as a toxic prick.

Operated by orcs. With Horde Shamans, so more Orcs, coaxing Fire and Wind Elementals to make the fire burn hotter and spread faster.

Terror of Darkshore doesn’t present any kind of victory and neither did sending Nathanos to the exact place he wanted to go.

God.

That Nightsong at the end with Nathanos going “For the Horde…” as Tyrande and Malfurion stand there is

This is completely wrong. There were just two of them and they were scouting it because the male sentinel had noticed something earlier, they never planned on engaging the Shredders. I also posted the quote again because you’ve never read the book:

“By Elune!” gasped Xanon. “This is worse than I imagined!”
“We must leave!” returned Haldrissa, beginning to back away. The two Sentinels, their eyes ever on the horror, retreated, heading for the area where they had left their mounts.
The wind shifted direction again. A thick smell of fuel and steam assailed Haldrissa from their left.
“Beware!” she cried, shoving Xanon away from that direction.

The shredder came crashing through the trees and brush, the metallic claws ripping away branches that blocked the path. High-pitched maniacal laughter cut above the sound of spinning blades. With a death’shead grin, the goblin adjusted the levers.

The blades came at Haldrissa. She was forced to dodge toward her blind side and thus stumbled. The blades just barely grazed her shoulder. However, despite that and the fact that Haldrissa wore

Yes, they were surprised by a shredder they didn’t hear or notice, she only smelled the fuel as it attacked them and she had to push him out of the way:

It was crazy they wouldn’t have noticed a shredder until it attacked them.

She implied other stuff besides the burning. Thsts what im waiting for.

The next time the Kaldorei go to war they should just call on the Worgen. At least Ivar and company ain’t afraid to fight dirty and know how to wage a proper war against their enemies :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: :wolf:

Enjoying that people still go “Nathanos got sent to Sylvanas, exactly where he wants to be!”

evidently not my dudes lmao

They simply didn’t win fast or hard enough to delete the horde from the game I think she’s implying :wolf:

Or something, I honestly don’t know anymore. And apparently Nathanos being tortured in the Maw/ the jailer hiding his death from sylvanas wasn’t a victory for some obscure reason.

Here’s the full page.

The goblin intercepted them, it wasn’t an ambush. The goblin was in the path between them and their mounts, the goblin attacked them and they killed the goblin and fled.

"At first Haldrissa thought some armored giant stalked the forest, a giant intent on carnage. What in some ways resembled a glaive with far, far sharper, curved points spun madly at the end of one arm. The other arm ended in a monstrous claw with four digits that at that moment seized the trunk of a thick oak. The giant then thrust the spinning blades at the tree.

To her horror, the blades cut into the wood as if it were water. Within seconds, the mighty oak teetered, its life already gone.

But the giant figure was not satisfied with just that. It shifted position and began slicing the tree into smaller pieces.

Only then did Haldrissa see that atop the head, there was a seat… and in that seat, a short figure with green skin, long ears, and a sadistic smile manipulated levers.

“A shredder,” she murmured back to Xanon. “A goblin shredder!” There had been reports of the machines being brought in farther east, but to find one this close was disturbing.

“Wait,” Xanon whispered, “Keep listening.”

Before she could ask why, the buzzing arose from another location. As the two looked, a second shredder trundled into view. The silver and crimson mechanism paused. The upper half turned to one side as no true creature could without breaking its spine. In the seat and half-shielded by the armored front, another goblin surveyed the nearest trees. Choosing one, he tugged on a level, and the spinning blades began their diabolical work.

Haldrissa silently swore at such sacrilege. She started to rise–only to have sense make her duck down just as a third and fourth shredder stepped into sight.

“They have a major lumber operation in progress here,” the male night elf told her. “I counted two more before. They are ripping apart this area of Ashenvale as if the trees had no feelings, no importance!”

“Six shredders.” Haldrissa did some calculations. “We can handle that many–”

And then the scene became an even more horrible nightmare. Another shredder joined the others, followed by another and another and another… More than a score quickly filled their view, and yet their numbers continued to grow.

“By Elune!” gasped Xanon. “This is worse than I imagined!”

“We must leave!” returned Haldrissa, beginning to back away. The two Sentinels, their eyes ever on the horror, retreated, heading for the area where they had left their mounts.

The wind shifted direction again. A thick smell of fuel and steam assailed Haldrissa from their left.

“Beware!” she cried, shoving Xanon away from that direction.

The shredder came crashing through the trees and brush, the metallic claws ripping away branches that blocked the path. High-pitched maniacal laughter cut above the sound of spinning blades. With a death’s head grin, the goblin adjusted the levers.

The blades came at Haldrissa. She was forced to dodge toward her blind side and thus stumbled. The blades just barely grazed her shoulder. However, despite that and the fact that Haldrissa wore plate armor, the shredder was still able to cut through the metal and rip a tiny but painful gash in her flesh.

The wound, though shallow, startled the commander enough that she made for a tempting target. The upper half of the shredder turned toward her. Another wild laugh escaped the goblin as he maneuvered the whirring blades.

The Sentinels’ only good fortune thus far lay in that this goblin had moved far ahead of the rest and because of the din created by the destruction of the forest, their struggle went unheard. Haldrissa could not hope for that to continue, though. At the very least, she and Xanon had to escape.

proceeds to describe them killing the goblin by Haldrissa using a tree to crush him and making it look like an accident

It snuck up on them, and that should have never happened. She only noticed the smell at the last second after the wind changed directions, not even the loud shredder noises before they got attacked and she got hit in the shoulder.

What did they win in Terror of Darkshore? A single supply shipment getting impeded? Woopty doo.

And again. Killing Nathanos was what he wanted. So he could return to his waifu.
