Just here to start the torrent of tears. Enjoy! (Highlights below the video)
Oh. And spoilers I guess.

Thanks, buddy!
There may be some cool cinematics that tug at the heartstrings!
Yay more tragic events for the Night Elves! Is it really not enough at some point ?
Also who is willing to bet that it will be one of those cheap ingame cutscenes? Like the one from her transformation or the war campaign epilogue ? Can’t wait for Tyrande dying in a garbage cutscene while Sylvanas gets to show off how great she is in GCI cinematics again.
Really can’t take it anymore…

Will the Forsaken be explored a bit more in Shadowlands?
- It will be a part of the story, it is a story that will not be rushed though. When a kingdom undergoes as much turmoil and change as the Forsaken in BFA, it takes some time for those things to play out.
Cool, only alliance gets solidified answers. Definitely looking like another Alliance-Only expansion, exactly like Legion was.

To me this says we won’t see anything Calia/forsaken related until 8.1/8.2 or later which is a HUGE bummer.
Also anyone else not surprised that Danuser wrote some of the WORST class order hall content? The hunter hall quests were beyond boring.

Idk man. That they’re giving the least death-related alliance race star power and shine, while giving the most death-related race in the entire game none during this death expansion is hecking telling.

They haven’t finished destroying the Forsaken’s story yet. Once they’re done they can have Calia swoop in and bring hope to the Forsaken.

The interview remarks are amusing. They want a more unified story going forward, so there’s no choice in it, but the “choice” in the BfA storyline felt executed in bad faith. They claimed the nelf and forsaken stories were too big to tell in BfA, but this is mostly because they didn’t really try to tell anything other than how they lost their capital and got in a fight over Darkshore.
Oh, and bragging about the hunter quest hall too (though I suppose it’s not the priest order hall).

It’s like 8.3 and Voidelves. The race that is most deeply rooted in the material got zero story in the subject where they should have gotten a lot of story. So nothing new, or?

Void elves are an allied race, not a real one. The Forsaken lost their city and infact their entire government.

Yes, they did, but Shadowlands isn’t going to change that, we don’t see what happens with night elves, with Horde, with Alliance, the problems won’t be solved for the Forsaks in Shadowlands.
Only the night elves will know what happens to their dead, but the problems that continue to exist on Azeroth will not be touched, not by any of the races.

No, it isn’t. The Forsaken have been around since vanilla. They’re entering the death-themed expansion. It’d be like if we did Legion and no player-faction night elves showed up to speak to valsharrah, or azsuna.
or if no night elves were present during azshara.
actually night elves get a lot of content. More than every race, including humans, now that I think about it.
The Shadowlands isn’t going to change that the nelves tree burned, and yet Steve said it was going to address that story anyway. Forsaken and Night elves still exist to move forward. If night elves get to move forward, forsaken should at the exact same pace and representation.

The time or the fact that it is an allied race has nothing to do with the theme and where you should perform.
Undead may have been introduced in patch 8.3, but it would be a wasted opportunity not to use it.
The point I have is that it is nothing new that blizzard does not take advantage of such opportunities. See Voidelves and 8.3, that was my example.
The night elves’ story continues that they can release their unlawfully imprisoned dead in the Maw, but their problems on Azeroth are not solved.
The problems of the Forsaken that they seem to have is limited to Azeroth alone. Rebuilding their government, rebuilding their people, and setting new goals for them, the Shadowlands are not helping. They can find these answers only on Azeroth.
Tyrande’s reason for being there has nothing to do with the problems her people are having on Azeroth.

It sounds to me like how we end up resolving the Shadowlands problem is likely(and logically) to have massive repercussions on the Forsaken culture.
Given that, I don’t blame Blizzard at all for not wanting to spend a bunch of time and effort establishing a new status quo for the Forsaken if it’s just going to end up being completely upended after only one expansion.
They get a pass from me for just going “transitional period!” for now and then just reestablishing the Forsaken once after it’s over, rather than having to do it twice in the same xpac.
You’re so partisan that you’re blithely ignoring that night elves aren’t the only race stuck in the Maw. This has been going on since long before the Battle for Azeroth – but only Night Elves matter to you, so you don’t care.

We weren’t talking about the amount of content of a race, I’m just explaining why the undead don’t continue in Shadowlands, because the problems they have can’t be solved in Shadowlands.

The problems undead have can’t be solved in the place that is seemingly the source of all undeath, and is the very afterlife itself?

Their problem with their government and their country cannot be solved in the Shadowlands. The problem that was mentioned cannot be solved there, and the Shadowlands are not really a place where people like to get people out, after all it is eternity where these people will stay after their death.
The dead are only to be rescued from the Maw, but not brought from the Shadow lands.
