So youre blaming folks for protesting against a stupid expansion narrative? Geeze.

Don’t you guys see, Sylvanas had to attack Thrall to get him to return to Azeroth and help us fight the big bad or else we’d lose without him. It’s 93D checkers.

Ok some positive things.
-Nagrand looks cool.
-i am not really a forsaken fan but damn, you have to respect those rogues!
the mvps of the cinematic.
i think that i already said my problems with this cinematic.
but this is just infuriating.
somehow blizzard thinks that the nelfs are no longer important.
That tyrande doesn’t deserve more spotlight,that she already had revenge, and they don’t even let her face her ultimate nemesis?
and to put salt into the wound, the alliance has become the secondary character in the horde story while they get all the CGI cinematics about sadfang and thrall. AGAIN.
is blizzard goal pissing people off to the point that they don’t care?
and to think that i had some hope and give them the benefit of the doubt…
no more.
i am…finally broken.
Blizzard wants to redeem themselves? give the nelfs a CGI cinematic or some sense of love.
if they don’t, the alliance, the story and this game will be dead for me.

And at this rate they’ll have to drag me kicking and screaming to fiction Nuremberg before I accept the MoP retread again
Coming next expansion:
Sylvannas plots to use Xal’atath to capture and enslave the weakened World Soul of Azeroth just like Sargeras did to the World Soul of Argus. The Earth Mother will be her slave to fuel an infinite army and stave off her own demise for all eternity.
I know it sounds ridiculous, but this is Blizzard we’re talking about here.
Ignoring Sylvanas’ choice to seemingly target Thrall out of nowhere, I enjoyed the two rogues fight. it was neat.
But God, not only was Saurfang’s “I followed them” extremely corny, but how the hell was he even able to track Rogues stalking Thrall, did he just stumble upon them by accident, racially profile them, and decide that he should just lurk around behind them?

Well it’s out of the way so he could raise his son out of the way of the Horde, and so then he didn’t get dragged back into the politics. Not only that, remember the last remaining members of his actual family are there. AKA the greatmother, if she is still alive that is.
Still one thing implied in the cinematic, through the wheat, is that Nagrand is dying and doesn’t have long left. Given how easily it crumbles…
Interesting parallel to The Horde…
Thally is just enjoying the perks of being a recolored Belf: moderate exposure with some lulworthy development thrown in the middle.
I liked the part “Where is your family” - Saurfang knew where the assassin’s were and wanted to make sure they were not in danger.

Thrall looks so dead inside, like me.

I said this in other places but I’m going to make sure I go on the record here, enough with the bloody orc cinematics. We don’t care about Saurfang and his obsession with moping and honor. How about you give us a Night Elf cinematic and actually cover something people care about instead of multiple cinematics on the same character? Pull your heads out of you know where. Yes, the travesty that is how NE’s have been treated has finally made me angry enough to complain about it.

Putting it in a place that takes the strength of a full grown male orc to access is a good way to keep it from the kiddies.

Yeah once you put it that way it makes total sense. I forgot about his grandmother too
I caught that too. Wheat is crumbly and I thought ok that’s just how it is but then Saurfang reminds him that the planet is broken and wrong. That’s sad really, not even alternate Dreanor is safe now due to unbalanced light.
Edit: I just rewatched it and I missed that other shot if the wheat. It shows it wasting away on the wind. Yeah it isn’t going to last much longer. It’s too weak.

Alternate draenor though isn’t broken… unlike the outland version where Thrall is. I love how they animated the gravity defying rocks, showing just how broken that world is.

Nope, she will be knocked unconscious so she can be taken to trial. There, she will be rescued by a bronze dragon that takes her to alternate reality Quel’thalas where she will create the Iron Elves faction and invade our Azeroth. We will have to form an adventuring party to travel to this alternate universe to stop her in World of Warcraft: Kings of Azeroth

When I cancelled my sub some time ago, I checked off that it was due to the story. I filled out the little feedback box basically saying that I was disappointed by the bait and switch BFA opening cinematic, the empty promises of a “faction pride expansion”, and wanting a story where the Horde wasn’t its own worst enemy. I thought maybe I’d have regrets cancelling before the Rise of Azshara patch hits. Maybe it would get better.
Then I saw this cinematic. All but guaranteeing a MoP 2.0 retread, beat for beat. I’ve never been so sure of my decision to cancel. Maybe they’ll get their act together for the next expansion, but I’m not holding my breath.
It sure was a beautifully made cinematic though, at least the art team knows what they’re doing.

In an alternate universe, we’re discussing the gorgeous cinematic where Tyrande and Shandris met in a moonlit glade of Ashenvale to discuss where the Kaldorei go from here.

Don’t remind me of what we could have.

Great quality cinematic, horrible story. Saurfang follows 2 invisible rogues “supposedly” sent after Thrall. Saurfang is dishonorable, helps the Alliance, has no place with the Horde. The direction they are going is wrong and many characters are being placed in a dumpster fire. Terrible writing this whole expansion.

That was nothing to do with the Light, or balance. Outland has always been decaying, its time was always coming to an end.
