I'm Not A Shadowlands Hater, But WoW Has The Worst Afterlife System

Like, the average Jo’oe of Azeroth is only entitled to one death.

If you die again you get no more afterlife, forever :fearful:

Of course, us players play by different rules, but that’s because the spirit healer keeps saying it’s not our time yet. As soon as she decides it’s our time, we are out of luck lol

We’re not allowed to die until we finish the mission.

It’s bizarre that you can die again in the SL.

My takeaway from shadowlands was… This is an interesting place to visit, but it’s one of the worst afterlives I’ve seen.

All the afterlives they showed us suck too. You get memory wiped and turned into a mindless slave, you are forced to fight for eternity and if you lose you’re turned into a monstrosity, you’re tortured until you’re deemed fit enough to get sent to one of the other places, or you have to be around creepy moth faeries forever.

No thanks. I’ll take permanent death.

Not exactly but it’s easy to miss mentions for the other locations. :world_map::robot:

blizzard did a terrible, terrible job with shadowlands, and because of that there is alot of things people will never know, or never see. it was a huge blunder for them and a good reminder of why you need to never half do an expansion.

could’ve been the best expansion ever made, but the ball was dropped due to strikes, controversy, and scandal, kinda sad if you think about it

That is super death.

I am a holy priest so I do this as my side job! And don’t worry, I only do that when I want more gold. Soul’s ransom and whatnot.

Easiest way is to just be a demon. Resurrect at the twisting nether.

Honestly, that’s not better.

In fact, is kinda worse.

If a Mortal dies, they go to the Shadowlands and become a Shadowlad. If a Shadowlad dies outside the Shadowlands, they return to the Shadowlands. If a Shadowlad dies in the Shadowlands, they die forever.

If a Demon dies outside the Nether, they return to the Nether. If a Demon dies in the Nether, they die forever.

It’s basically the same thing except Demons don’t get the one free death Mortals get.

It’s different cause demons can leave the twisting nether.

Shadowlads ‘generally don’t’ with more exceptions to the rule than I can fathom (kyrian ascended, mawsworn ascended, apparently Ysera). But no I’d imagine they become 35 anima power when they die anywhere once they’re a shadowlad.

You should be. Everyone should be. It was one of the worst expansions we had.

Some of the afterlives people are expecting here in the real world sound pretty bad as well.

Yeah, it’s really weird. Reminds me of this, honestly. :sweat_smile:

i thought if you die again, your spirit/anima dissipates, and you become one with the cosmos? or like, you get sent to your specific afterlife… or maybe reincarnated or something.

danuser tried to pull a legion and instead we got leg

weren’t there quests , I think in Northrend, that one could do while dead?

Pretty sure I recall a quest or 2 where you had to be dead to even see the quest giver.

It was also confusing considering it seems to change its mind a lot about whether or not dying again in SL actually perma kills you
