Oh my god! A dire future awaits us…
Reminds me of WildStar. Carbine studios had an art director who they let cancel a ton of content for some reason, and it resulted in their teams having to scramble to remake stuff right before launch… And we all know how that turned out.
Actually, a lot of what Blizzard does nowadays reminds me of the way Carbine studios acted. Lucky for Blizzard they’ve got a big ol cash shop to drag them along.
huh?
This is like saying if you listened to an unabridged audio book, but you didn’t physically hold the book in your hand, then it doesn’t count.
You do realize, tons of people did the raid and feel let down, right ?

“Who writes this crap” 
What I love is that people are talking about it ripping off Lord of the Rings. As if EVERY piece of fantasy fiction for the last 70+ years hasn’t been. Also for those people, ever taken a trip to Icecrown?? It’s Mordor on ice.
It’s not just the cinematic. All the 8.3 content is rather dull and the story lacks anything to grab the player. It all seems put together to drive people away from the product rather than pull them in.
Maybe blizz just have a serious staffing issue they need to address.
I expected nothing and I’m still disappointed.
- Flesh is your true creator.
- To find him, drown yourself in the circle of stars
- The king of diamonds has been made a pawn.
- The lord of ravens will turn the key.
- The boy-king serves at the master’s table. Three lies will he offer you.
- Her heart is a crater, and we have filled it.
- Five keys to open our way. Five torches to light our path.
- At the hour of her third death, she will usher in our coming.
- From the earth, he draws strength. Our earth. Our strength.
- Its surface blazes bright, masking shadows below.
It really is frustrating all the theory building and guess work we as fans speculated on all this cool creepy dialogue meaningless!

This just shows that WoD was better than bfa, i havent felt this disappointed since selfie patch, but even then i least got something out of it.
I can see where people think this, but in any fantasy universe you have to take stock of what’s important, and how it’s important to your brand. If you go out of your way to destroy one of the most iconic capital cities in order to garner short-lived shock or subverted expectations, you’re doing it wrong.
Why in the name of all of their subscribers would they do something so short-sighted and meaningless is beyond me. Of course, then again, I believe that the current state of Silithus is a metaphor for what they think of the game including the giant-A sword of contempt and apathy they stabbed it with.
Well. I haven’t tried crack, but I feel that my opinion on the subject matters a bit. You keep arguing from authority though…

I think the main problem also was due to the fact the expansion tried to fit three expansions into one. The faction war, Queen Azshara/ Nazjatar, and lastly the Black Empire/N’zoth. Let’s not forget the shady business that Sylvanas was doing in the background.
So yeah, at the end of the day the story of this expansion was all over the place and tried to cram too much into it. It truly feels as though this last bit was rushed due to falling behind.

Way back in MoP I had high hopes for the coming faction war. I thought great, this is going to be awesome. Large scale battles on a new continent, etc, etc.
Obviously it was a let down. It was all just a bunch of scripted quests which became dailies and there were almost no opposing faction players in sight. I don’t remember but I think that’s when BH started to become dominant horde.
Anyway it occurred to me then that big events are just not going to be done justice inside the game. Maybe the engine can’t do it. Maybe the team doesn’t have the resources to do something that immense. However I do think much of this comes down to creative juice. For example I look at the D3 big bads because I think this is the best example from Blizzard of a phoned in approach. Remember how bad the big bads in D3 were. They were basically voice texting the player the entire time with very human emotions and responses. It deflated the entire experience.
That relates to this in a big way. First humanizing an old God and then throwing him away like any other character did a huge injustice to the material. At least what a cosmic horror is supposed to be. If you follow anything like HP Lovecraft writing N’Zoth shouldn’t have had any human emotions. He should have been inhuman and acted accordingly and should have been way too powerful for our sticks to beat down.
Maybe I’m wrong and they are pulling a fast one on us but I’d be surprised if that were true. I think it’s just way more likely they don’t have the talent to produce something on that scale. I mean let’s face it. HP Lovecraft isn’t something you pick up on a regular basis.

My sub ends in like 2 days… this last month I played no more than 8 hours in total, I just cant enjoy this xpac. I just saw this “ending” 5 mins ago and omg how dissapointing, imagine wasting so much time in 8.3 to defeat this boss and watch this cinematic… tell me this is not the final boss of BFA please.
Yeah but her role in the story isn’t literally being a parasite on Azeroth’s crust lol.
No, every Old God wanted to fulfill their directive of corrupting Azeroth. They are not free by a long shot. Not by any meaningful meassure.
Holly hanna you are the one that’s obsessed that she is an elf, don’t project on me you own chubster.
She has been the most interesting Void entity since she was a knife. Because unlike the Old Gods, her sole purpose is not to corrupt Azeroth.
Hardly would call that pulling it off.
And that was done well before BfA came along so it has little to do with Nyalotha’s end.

because she is too weak for lmao
every old god was imprisoned and wanted freedom, thats just a fact.
you talk like its a bad thing for then control the whole damn world LUL
because she have no purpose at all? i mean, there is tons of void entities who have not the old gods “work”
either way, all void creatures want to consume everything, old gods or not.
I read somewhere that Alleria says that now the whispers of the void have gotten worse, almost as if killing the old gods has gotten rid of any filtering and now its even more chaotic.
Honestly I think it’s the other way around; I feel they wrote N’zoth off to focus on the Void as a cosmic aspect -you know, void Naaru’s and ethereals and Xal’atath- instead of parasites in the crust of a planet.
And? Are you confusing potential with current capability? Xal’atath remains at large, with her own agenda. That makes her more interesting than any of the Old Gods ever was.
Because they needed to fulfill their ultimate goal of corrupting Azeroth FFS. Again, parasites.
When your motivation is “I got told to” yeah, it’s pretty lame.
That’s the thing, The Void Lords, and thus the Old Gods, wanted to consume everything. But is that true for every Void Entity, or do they see… more possibilities?
