Afterlives Guardian Druid

So basically just like Guardian Druids, Blizzard decides to get rid of our Bear God forever. Not any other Wild Gods like Rezan, or Shadra?

So what happens to his spirit after you defeat Xavius? What about all of the other spirits?

What the absolute hell.

I have no words


They need to change covenants ASAP.

I dont want to be trapped into a covenant with them after they did this to Ursoc.

This makes me so mad.

Let me be Necrolord, please.

To have to be in a covenant with them because they are the best (currently) for my spec for raiding
is just a slap in the face.

I just
 why? What is their obsession with demolishing Ursoc, or the other nature aspects? It’s like they’re punching bags for story progression.

Definitely not going Night Fae on my druid. Maybe on my DK.

But ursoc is in the emerald dream after you beat xavius. You can even talk to him there.

Retcon baby

How is it a retcon? After we talk to Ursoc at the end of the Nightmare, he then proceeds to Ardenweald. We had not even considered the possibilities afterward, even though we didn’t see Ysera there.

Learning more about a situation is not a retcon.

Interestingly enough, the drought hit them a good while after Ursoc’s arrival, which brings to question as to what point in the fight against the Legion the taps were diverted away from them. While everyone else was occupied on Argus, or after we defeated Argus?

My condolences, bear friends.

This cinematic hit me so, so hard. Thinking of maining Guardian/feral in SL, as foolhardy as that may be.

Definitely would feel conflicted about covenant choice though.

Souls can dream probably, so he can be in his little grove dreaming the emerald dream or something

Hey Mariga, I was feeling the same way - but apparently there’s a bit we missed. Apparently Ursoc’s soul asked the Winter Queen to be sacrificed? With a snarl? At least, that’s one interpretation I’m seeing floated, checking out Nobbel’s vid now.

(This is Wulm’s drood)

I hope that’s the case but they could have made that a bit more clearer instead of needing to have subtitles on and do interpretation of it. =/

A voice over, something. Anything. He could speak, Blizz.

This makes it a little better, but still salty that Blizz would do this after spending all this time ignoring Guardians.

"Hey, yeah, we havnt paid attention to any feedback any of you fuzzy tanks have given for BfA and we havnt even looked at any feedback or given any responses for Shadowlands feedback for ya’ll and we’re gonna keep ignoring you.

Oh and by the way, here’s an animatic where we kill off your Bear God who you have an artifact in Legion from and forms named after. Hope you like it! :smiley: "

At least that’s how I imagine it went down.

I also have a bit of hope from the Guardian Discord where someone pointed out one of the Quest Designer’s replied to a comment with basically they didnt want to spoil anything but there’s a quest in Ardenweald to tend to Soul Pods of your own and ‘Who knows who you might be tending to~’

So
hey here’s holding out hope as someone put it in the discord - Maybe Ursoc will become our tamagotchi.

Then as my guildie said : You have to raise your Ursoc tamagotchi to get guardian buffs.

-.- So that’s where they’ve hidden them.

This is exactly what I was thinking after watching the video. Ursol being “Offed” seems at least somewhat symbolic of the “Dead spec” that is Guardian Druid going into SL. Maybe it’s Blizzard’s way of saying, “Nah
 we’re not fixing bears.” Lol.

Thanks for your time,

Um
 SPOILERS!!!

Isn’tthatjustareferencetoyserasincewetendtoherpod?

/end spoilers

Nah, I don’t consider that spoilers since they didn’t name names and could be talking about others and by now everyone knows about
well you know who.

They could have a roulette of Soul Pods we could tend to.

Like hey, maybe one could be Ashamane. We havnt seen her for a while. I’d be down for that.

Maybe one of the Soul Pods has the Guardian Druid of everyone who shelved their bear tank! :bear:

Those wild god-pods in the arden-garden are actually really interesting sounding.
We’ve got a LOT of dead wild gods to choose from.
Amani Pantheon, Drakari Pantheon, Whatever the dark trolls worshipped, Shadra, Rezan and Hireek
 Apparently dragons, as Avianna confirmed in War of the Ancients that dragons go to her realm upon their deaths.

Wouldn’t mind Korialstrasz coming back and meeting Rhonin’s soul in the shadowlands and getting into some hijinks.

Low Blow to kill off Ursoc tho.

Players: “Can we have a rework please, here is a complete and objective list of what needs work”
Ian-Blizzard: “No. Also your god is dead.”

Ursoc dying to help save the forest and it’s inhabitants is exactly what he would have wanted. Why would you be LESS inclined to help the Night Fae after watching that cinematic? They need as much as they can get, and of course as a Guardian druid main I’m going to honor Ursoc’s memory by doing what I can.

If Kael’thas taught us anything, his death is merely a setback.

Gotta give props to Blizzard though

Rather than respond to guardian feedback on the beta thread, they made a whole cinematic to show why they aren’t doing anything with bears.

That’s dedication lol.
:coffee:

P.s. I was typing coffee for the emoji and coffin came up
 fitting


:coffin:
