I’m just confused as to what the purpose of the player character is at this point? Sylvanas can defeat the Lich King, she can fight Malfurion, she can destroy the Helm of Domination with her bare hands, she can burn the world tree, she can take on both the Alliance and Horde, she can kill Saurfang, she can raise things from the dead, she can tear through time and space and open a portal into heaven, she can turn into an orb and fly away whenever she needs to. What can’t she do?
Why doesn’t she just kill Nzoth? Why not just travel through in the Twisting Nether in her floaty orb form and kill the void lords and slay Sargeras in his prison to put him out of his misery? Why is the player character needed for any of this? When they’ve clearly written Sylvanas as the most powerful being in the universe of World of Warcraft who can defeat anything and anybody and not take a single point of HP damage through the power of magically dodging anything they throw at her with the same smirk on her face the entire time.
Saurfang was like Broxigar only instead of Sargeras, it is Sylvanas the most powerful being in the universe getting a small little scratch on her face from Saurfangs final strike.
Yes. She’s going to be literally unbeatable and unchangeable until her raid, in which case we will defeat her. This doesn’t mean we’ll kill her, though.
I’m not entirely sure she will even have a raid. Is she confirmed as the final raid boss? The writers don’t want to see Sylvanas ever defeated or humiliated. They haven’t even made it clear that she’s a villain.
I might correct you on one point. She ordered the world tree burned. It was the Horde soldiers, orcs and trolls included, that actually burned it down.
No, I’m not upset. I think it’s bad writing though. And as my post states, confused what the purpose of the player character is at this point when there is already a character who is more powerful than anything else in the universe of WoW.
But yes, they obeyed her command after she waltzed through Night Elf defenses like they were nothing. Just as she can waltz through Icecrown unopposed and defeat the entirety of the Lich Kings army before finally defeating him. Nothing can stop her. It truly is written like a fan fiction.
But they keep treating her intentions as an “open book” they constantly peddle this notion that what she is doing doesn’t meet the eye. They haven’t specifically stated that she’s the big bad villain nor have they confirmed she will be a raid boss of any sort.
I think they’ve made it pretty clear she’s a villain.
They didn’t mean to, though. They just seem to be under the impression that constantly saying in out of game interviews “just wait and see, she’s not just evil, morally grey, grand design” is sufficient to stop her constant villainous actions from making her a villain.
Go to the blacksmith that forged Frostmourne in the Forge of Domination in the first place and convince them to forge it anew from the Blades of the Fallen Prince. Out of habit, Sylvanas inexplicably teleports in and powerslides into it.
…But then she shouts “ENOUGH!” and the rest plays out normally.
That could be said during the game’s inception. The Alliance already has Azeroth’s heavy hitters. It took a raid to attack Jaina, and she didn’t even die. Imagine if Jaina also had Malfurion on her team.
But at least Jaina took HP damage and clearly had to run away in defeat. Sylvanas never is defeated and never runs away defeated. She flees on her own terms after getting the best of everyone. She is also the mover of the WoW universe. The story only goes forward when Sylvanas declares it’s time. Jaina has never had this unlimited power.
I’m willing to wait and see what plays out in the expansion but I’m not entirely convinced she is going to be this villain who gets defeated or ever loses. I feel like the writers egos are attached to her character.
Give it to these writers and Goku definitely would lose.
