You mean pitch forkers. I always carry a pitch fork when I read a forsaken quest.
Belmont may actually be right about Calia, and he may start to see that Sylvanas was right about the Alliance, setting up for Sylvanas’ return.
(I know, I know, no one is ready for that type of reasoning right now. It will take her at least an expansion to clear out the Maw)
You are forgetting sylvanas loyalists were mostly simps, so the solution to replace sylvanas was to put a cuter undead with bigger bewbs to simp upon.
Quality storytelling :0

Benedikt this entire questline was literally copy pasta things the two of us and a few others EXPLICITLY recommended many times over in the past two years
Literally almost VERBATIM the list of people we all wanted for the Desolate Council
Literally VERBATIM fixing Undercity via Maldraxxus and Teldrassil via Ardenweald (albeit only partially and weird nonsense for the latter)
Literally VERBATIM they had an interaction between Calia and Sindane (except where I said Sindane teach Calia Proper Necromancy, we got Sindane saying all necromancy is the same lmao) and Faranell and Merileth discussing each other’s plague techniques (except the witty banter wasn’t direct sadly)
They literally just straight up did word for word what we’ve been saying for two years since day one
This wasn’t a stroke of genius on their part, it’s just copy pasta what we’ve said in multiple Twitter threads and forum threads lol

At least they’re listening. I’ll give credit where it’s due

You’re right. But frankly if they genuinely are sitting here, taking notes, then I’d consider that a good thing.
Crazy though they may get the Story Forums are filled with people very passionate and knowledgeable about the setting, tossing out ideas for free. About time they used it as a resource.
If they are reading though I’ve a request. Pick a state for Gilneas to be in. Schrodinger’s Zone strikes again. They just said in the Sylvanas novel it was blighted. But now apparently the Forsaken are occupying it? They can’t keep their story straight on this place to save their lives.
I genuinely wonder if there isn’t something catastrophically wrong with Gilneas’s code. So they’re loathe to touch it as it’ll require a square one remake. Or something. It’s just bizarre how they keep contriving reasons for why it’s closed.

They still haven’t updated Silvermoon since 2006 
I know, not the time but if we are listing things that need to be addressed. Silvermoon is still stuck in TBC… we are still fighting leftover scourge from the third war.

This is why I’ve also recommended they do expansions where we revisit redone zones like say Outland.
Now that stuff like BC and Wrath Classic exist and are packaged with the main game I see absolutely zero reason not to do something like that. I’d mentioned how BC Classic made no sense to me because all that content is still preserved in amber, unchanged since 2006.
But now that all that content is preserved for posterity’s sake in a different version of the game it seems obvious to do a square one remake of Outland, Quel’Thalas and the Myst Isles. I’d definitely like to see Zangarmarsh reimagined with modern tech.
I had an interesting moment in BFA as I’d went and did a bunch of Troll content beforehand to brush up on the lore. And while in Nazmir I got the sense I was looking at what the artists who designed STV had pictured in their mind’s eye. But the technology just wasnt there to make every frame a painting yet.
I’d really love to see Shattrath or Blade’s Edge like that now that the technology is here to really make these gorgeous vistas. I’d so love to walk around the Nagrand we only got to glimpse in the background of the Thrall cinematic.

Calia is uglier. She looks like an animated chalk sculpture.

Be careful what you wish for. They are unlikely to just revamp it and make it higher-res; that wouldn’t be worth their time. They’re more likely to say “Well, Suramar is the nice-looking elf city now (never mind that it’s not a faction hub even though it’s joined a faction in lore). So we can destroy Silvermoon and replace it with a goblin city built on the same site, with the Blood Elves living in the rubble on the outskirts! The players will love it—after all, they’ve been complaining that goblins don’t have a proper hub!”
Seriously, I’ll accept being forgotten and even being unable to fly, over that.

And Forsaken will get repercussions for doing things, yeah? Calia’s not gonna be some excuse for blizz to just continue handwaving the Alliance into passivity while actively being attacked and betrayed? Forsaken will actually get repercussions for repeatedly backstabbing the Horde too? Or is it gonna continue the trend of ‘all factions look the other way for no reason’ lol.
I don’t know, I’ve’s started to call her “Lady Legs” I thought she was wearing stockings, but that’s just her skin tone. She looks like she’s made out of porcelain.
Of course not! Don’t be ridiculous! Just look at this nice shiny lady!
Pay no attention to the suspiciously wet bag Faranel is dragging behind her and occasionally whacking with a club.
A cruel, but effective way to utterly break his will.

Porcelain breaks too easily. I can’t bang that.

I really don’t think being cautiously optimistic is illogical here. I obviously can’t know if Blizz listened to me personally, but it’s kind of irrelevant, as they did stuff I’d specifically asked for.
And I still don’t have any hard plans to play past July, and I’m probably going to wait a few months into Dragonflight to check it out, after the honey moon phase is over and what isn’t working becomes more clear.
But they did the Forsaken justice here and I’ll be shocked if that seed from Ardenweald doesn’t regrow Teldrassil. With them also hinting Ysera will be back I figure that’s probably going to be a Dragonflight prepatch thing if it doesn’t happen sooner.
And beyond that Dragonflight seems to be getting rid of stuff that’s been hampering the game for years. No more borrowed power, no more needlessly making you pick one spec and I’m actually interested in a new flight mechanic. The old ones fine but it is borderline no clip mode. It translates into practical invulnerability and had completely ruined WPvP until the net gun came along. This seems like a good middle ground between outright not having flying and still making exploring a new zone feel mysterious and deadly.
Maybe it’s because I just stopped playing at 9.1 because I correctly assumed this expansion was FUBAR, so I haven’t been continually dissapointed for a year. But thus far I’m not seeing any tangible reason to be worried.
Still skeptical though. Coming in midway through Legion and walking smack dab into two of the worst expansions wasn’t a great experience so I’m definitely going to wait on Dragonflight.
But I do want this game to be good again and I do believe this to be a do or die moment for Warcraft. They’ve been unseated from their decades long MMO throne. Their subscriber count plummeted and companies like Activision will cut off any limb that can’t show Q4 growth to the shareholders.
So either they knock it out of the park or that’s that for Azeroth, and I would prefer option A tbh.

Do it, that’s one heck of a way to assasinate her.

QFT.
To me, that seems to be the entire point of the questline. To sell us Calia.
I’ll admit that there is an entire interesting cast of Forsaken characters getting fleshed out therein, but they already existed.
Oh but they were! Calia was there! She was there the whole time. Doing nothing, and stuff.

Nah I’d probably get some sort of bizarre disease. I could do that to you though.
I’m surprised that no one’s commented on how Calia is present for every bit of this quest, with the exception for when she sends you to collect the other forsaken.
Faranell does not meet Merelith.
Belmont does not go to the Shadowlands.
The only person who gets multiple quests of play besides Calia is Calia’s #1 fan Voss.
