I mean, have you seen as many lore interviews as usual this year, i don´t see any kind of loreinterview expect one.
do you know some more?
They admitted that noone cares about lore, but instead “social connections” are apparently what drives the game, so they don’t care anymore.

Yesterday, wasn’t noticed, low key
I am a 90’s baby immigrant who grew up in NYC lol
Been using that phrase since before it was cool xoxo
But yeah there was more ~lore content ~ produced it just went unnoticed
Also kinda messed up they didn’t use any questions from the form (form made you put in your country, not a single question had country info) or any video submissions (there were a lot)
I don’t have anything against BlizzWatch, but they’re ridiculously low-key to find something like this on heh. Most of their videoes for the past 3 months are sub 500 views…on youtube, do they have another outlet other people are listening on or something?
Everyone hates the story but blizzard doesn’t want to confront this so they bury their heads in the sand.
I’m not expecting anyone to be particularly chatty after how badly BFA was received.
Shadowlands is just filler with BFA baggage attached to it.

kill sylvanas and shadowlands would be improved.
I don’t think that’d improve that either.
There is no ending with Sylvanas included as a character where it’ll be satisfactory.
They could kill her off and my eyes will roll harder. I’ll have an immensely sour feeling as they piss away a decade and a half of storytelling for the sake of shock factor.
If they went the opposite direction and tried to redeem her, I’d cringe from getting another Kerrigan situation.
I’d have sooner just not have her be in the story. Vanish off the map.
You might say “but without her, the Shadowlands story doesn’t make sense.”
and I would say “yes, because the Shadowlands story is fundamentally bad and flawed on this foundation.”.

We didn’t get much, that much is true.
Since people like Ghostcrawler worked in the game (at the very least) the story suffered (Rule of cool before lore and story).
It’s still strange, but it could mean I should stop my investment in this game.
It’s Hard, I Like the community I’m in and WoW’s unique Trolls.
But this disconect between the dens and the Players and the story getting worse with every addon (execpt MoP) since the start of WoW is telling.

Maybe, but only for a short time, because after that you could say “move on” and not have this Damocles sword hanging over you all the time in form of “is the dark lady returning some day”?
kill her off and allthis will be gone, for good.
According to either MMO-Champ or Wowhead, in one of the interviews they said that the relationship between Sylvanas, Anduin and the Jailer is the core story of Shadowlands. So…yeah. Speaking solely for myself, I’ve never really been interested in the superhero faction leaders. What drew me into the game was the world itself, and all the different locales and cultures/peoples that inhabited them. Sylvanas and Anduin drama does literally nothing for me.
The only part of 9.1 that seems interesting to me is the new chunk of the Maw, but even then, just a little bit. It’s still going to have the Maw’s skybox and I’m guessing it won’t be all that big. I was really hoping that we’d go to a new afterlife/zone entirely, just to get some more variety from the supposedly infinite Shadowlands.
