The whole undead NE thing was a terrible, terrible, horrible idea from the start. They should never have written it to begin with, and I hope they throw it into the same dark closet where they keep Me’dan and never speak of it again.

" She believes the Jailer has a better plan for the forces of life and death, though despite trying to win Anduin over to their cause, it’s strongly hinted that both she and Anduin were made into agents of the Jailer by force rather than choice."
I hate Blizzard, I can’t wait for my sub to end so I can never resub again. Get out of here with this bullcrap.
Blizzard really just wanted to make Sylvanas “metal and badass” by making her commit heinous acts, only to redeem her because LOL she’s our waifu so it wasn’t really her the whole time! She didn’t have a choice. Screw off Blizzard.

Can I again point out the fact so many content creators that are blizzard-approved are Alliance and aggressivley so lololololol
Except the only ones that matter, the devs lol they are Horde favored. Or rather, I shouldn’t say favored, I think the devs truly enjoy writing the Horde more because they find them more “interesting” for whatever that’s worth. Alliance is always an afterthought to what Blizzard wants to do with the Horde story.
Anyways. Yeah that Oprah gif is about all we can say at this point. We all knew they were saving Sylvanas. God forbid their favorite pet have to suffer any consequences for her actions, same with Anduin.

If by interesting you mean “badly handle trauma and turn abuse survivors into war criminals” and “implement racist tropes unironically” sure lol

That’s what I am saying. Blizzard’s idea of interesting is very strange. They feel they can write stories like that for the Horde because they are “metal” and cool. They can’t do that for the Alliance because they are the boring fantasy trope faction. Sadly for Horde players that means getting villain batted.
Sadly for Alliance that means we are perpetually just the reactionary victims.

Man i dont like these parallels, it reminds me of darth vader, hell, luke was blonde too hilarious.
LOL watch out guys she’s getting her tragic death with redemption and tearjerker all included.
The moment they thought they couldve write mop better was when the expansion died, just you wait for mop 3 when they decide it wont be the same since we repeated it step by step but its different because they dont have a warchief but a “head of the council”.
edit: i also think its a serious mistake including arthas in ANYTHING that has to do with newer content.
he should just get a passing mention but you guys saw he was dropped unfairly to the maw so i guess we will be saving him…

I’m assuming they make it even more obnoxious by making her return to the Horde to feature her in even more cinematics. Potentially even have her start another faction war…
I’m getting major pre-emptive damage control vibes.

The night elves story will also be from now on allways about the genocide and sylvanas future story will also be allways about genocide? …Nice…sarcasm
At least the night elves potentially still have Azshara to focus on, whenever she gets reintroduced to the story.
I just read that as “Will do whatever the hell we like and you’ll praise it”

Press X to doubt. I doubt blizzard will make a redemption arc on the same level as Zuko and Catra.
I mean it makes sense given that Daddy D was an ally. Giving Zovaal his key was a sign of good faith.

They got accused of doing that with Starcraft 1, where beta testers noticed that it was very similar with WC2 in both design and story. Hence the “warcraft in space” joke.
To be honest, I think that the story will be worse with a “living” Sylvanas or a still “living” Sylvanas than with a really dead one. Not because “bad guys always have to die”, but because Sylvanas will be irretrievably and permanently connected to Teldrassil, and quite honestly, if the Horde were to suffer something like that, many would also demand the death of those responsible, even now many are demanding Jaina’s death, even though she did much less than Sylvanas.

I dunno, in my opinion it already is. I just want her out of the story too, but that realistically isn’t going to stop Teldrassil from being a permanent negative effect on the horde’s look anyway.
Let’s say worst case scenario and she gets fully redeemed / absolved / proven right / whatever. That doesn’t really filter down to the rest of the horde, because they were ignorant of whatever 4D Chess she was playing.

a surprise to literally no one except for a few who are still in denial.
Ultimately, Teldrassil will negatively afflict both Alliance and Horde, forever.
Do you think it will be great for the night elves if even in 5-6 years they are still portrayed as victims of genocide and everything actually refers to this victim role and consumes their whole narrative?
Oh yes, how great.
Likewise with the signs reversed but same outcome it threatens the Horde. I know why I’d much rather spend my time playing Warhammer again at the moment.
