Maybe one writing team got sacked and replaced with another?
Hopefully those responsible for sacking will themselves be sacked.
From what I gather certain writers werenât given the memo about character direction and tried very hard to make the leaders present heroic.

Those asinine morons were themselves fired for incompetence. And not just fired, but beaten up, too⊠and pretty badly. In fact, most of them died from their injuries. And then they were ground up into a fine pink powder.

This. Ever since the War of Thorns I trusted Blizz to write a conclusion to the event, thus I never complained. Now that I see how it turned out and how itâs an absolute spit into the face in every way possible I will never trust them ever again.
They made a revenge patch for the night elves into a victory for the horde, for example. How can they think that people wouldnât be dissatisfied with that?
Sad part is, now is the time where people go from âwait and seeâ so âget over itâ.

Oh, after the War of the Thorns and us going to KulâTiras, I complained a lot that there was indication to suggests there will be no follow up with the Night Elvesâ plight as BfA continued. Then 8.1, and, as I expected nothing, it actually turned out to be something. It wasnât enough, but it was something. And then 8.2 happened, and Tyrande was missing from Nazjatar. And 8.2.5 happened, and Tyrande was missing from the finale of the War Campaign. And now 8.3 is happening, and itâs NâZoth being thrown out like filler. And then Shadowlands is happening. Where they decide to emphasize that all the victims of Teldrassil went to the Maw.
Now, there is finally inidication that there will be follow up this time. And frankly, I still like most of the content that the Darkshore Warfront brought us. But I still wish they would address Ashenvale at least. And of course I will comment on whatever the story we get with Tyrande and Ardenweald and the Maw and Sylvanas and everything else in Shadowlands when we get around to seeing it.

now we know why tyrande was absent from almost the entire bfa storyline, because blizzard tends to wait years and years before resolving a plot point.
like the gilneans, almost 10 years without it : D
i hope that tyrande/elune/nelf story is at least something great, because i think that when is not faction war nonsense they do mostly a good job.

Itâs sad how night elves can only do good stuff when theyâre neutral. Iâm going to bet that Tyrande and her people will be neutral to the horde and the fact that the horde almost wiped out her people will be swept under the rug and just be blamed on Sylvanas.
That said, it might also just be Tyrande and her army of the black moon being beaten up by some horde peon, 8.1 style.

I am betting Horde players will be questing with Tyrande in Valâsharah 2.0 to save the Night Elf souls to make up for the War of the Thorns and the burning of Teldrassil. They worked with Jaina in 8.2, after all. And would be pretty much the same whiplash as going from saving and working with Malfurion in Legion to hoping to kill him in the War of the Thorns immediately after.

A lot more would have to happen to make up for it from the horde as a faction. But the thing is, horde players are already complaining because Tyrande may be in Ardenweald. Now imagine how they would spam complaint threads when they have to save night elf souls as horde players. They would go absolute nuts and blizz would change it then so they would just scrap that instead.

They wouldnât scrap it. Theyâd didnât scrap Valâsharah, after all. Theyâd just make Tyrande not as mean to the Horde.
Well but still, we donât even know whatâs happening yet and Iâve already seen quite a few complaint threads about Tyrande in Ardenweald and the little potential of having to help her / save night elf souls.
Not that I believe that Blizz is planning anything like this, anyway.
Blizzard said that there wonât be different questing for Horde and Alliance. So either thatâs true, and Horde will have to quest with Tyrande. Or thatâs not true, and only Alliance will quest with Tyrande. Or neither is true, and there wonât be Tyrande at all.
Given how Blizzard sticks to their story with little regard to player feedback, though, I expect the first, that theyâre going to make a single questing experience that does involve Tyrande, and Horde players will have to play through it even if they donât like it.

Well weâll see about that, I still have my doubts for anything positive happening to the night elves if theyâre not neutral, and alliance night elves becoming neutral with the horde after everything that has happened⊠I canât even describe it in words how stupid that would beâŠ
There will certainly be plenty of Night Elf fans who will dislike it as well, yes.
They can keep the questing the same yet have the quest givers be different, like why couldnât Horde get Hamuul Runtotem in Valâsherra or Ardenwield? I donât mind doing some quests that the alliance also do, but I want to do them under HORDE characters if the Horde has one that make sense.
What gets me is they left Tyrande in ValâSherra yet cut Baine from Highmountain, I can understand Alliance not wanting to work or quest under a Horde character, but come on, anyone with a brain would know that the reverse is also true. If Horde have to work under Tyrande in Ardenwield, then alliance should have to work under a Horde connected toon, say Draka, if not a full blown Horde hero in one of the other areas. Alliance that complain about this should be told that Horde have to work under Tyrande and they hate it, so Al;liance should just buck up and do something they hate instead of dumping on the Horde.

Itâs not about liking or disliking it, it just wouldnât make sense no matter how you turn it. You donât have to be a night elf fan to see that. The current pattern is:
- Neutral Night elves? - Can get some positive things happening to them
- Alliance Night elves? - If they get attention, itâs negative attention and humiliation
It has been this pattern ever since WoW was released and I donât expect this to change, therefore if something positive happens in Shadowlands the Night Elves will be neutral, this however doesnât make sense.
Isnât that exactly whatâs happening? Yet horde players are still complaining

This is definitely likely to happen. Same as questing with Kaelâthas in Revendreth. Iâm not sure why anyone would expect otherwise.
If anyone shows up to help Tyrande save Night Elf souls she would accept their help, if they are Horde or not, because her priority would be saving those Night Elf souls over not working with the Horde. It would make sense in the rush of the moment context. People just wouldnât like it.
I wouldnât mind it. What I would mind though is if they are going to spin it and make it seem like it was all Sylvanas alone and not the Horde.
That, I am pretty sure, is inevitable. The person who could have taken the most responsibility for that, Saurfang, is dead. No one else in the Horde is going to speak up about Teldrassil to the Alliance.
