Shadowlands was actually better than Dragonflight and War Within

Reminds me of a horror manga I read. You are immortal but you will suffer for all throughout.

This is just a gameplay mechanic, canonically the hero didnā€™t die as many times he want

Why is the original post flagged and ā€œignoredā€?

What am I missing?

Bait thread. That is why

Hall monitors that canā€™t just pass up things they donā€™t actually want to read mostly. The thread title alone was enough to draw them in.

Only works when people fall for the bait.

Shadowlands was Hell in more ways than one, lol.

Like all of the zones were a crapsack world in one way or anotherā€¦ you could be in vampireland and your life just sucks unless youā€™re a noble and even then, all the corruption and scheming and you were bound to die. Or go through thousands of years of torture.

If you wound up in Maldraxxus, well thatā€™s just straight up Hell.

If you wound up in Bastion, might not be so bad, unless you go off to war and die in Maldraxxus then you get raised and stuck there as an undead.

Ardenweald would be okā€¦ but the MarySue Drust boogeymen might get you, put a mask on you and turn you evil.

Oh, itā€™s definitely time for me to move on at this point. Was just gonna see if heā€™d double down or at least try to communicate, but given how heā€™s acting heā€™ll just go on my ignore list with the other trolls on the forums, lol.

OK then why do we have a Spirit Healer, who is an actual figure in the lore occasionally even if they never explain WTF it actually is?

Remember that blue dragon who is in love with a/the Spirit Healer? Itā€™s an actual lore figure.

I think though that if that was the intent, that it is the afterlife (hell) then they were on point.

I think the concept itself was good, it just didnā€™t really match in the WoW lore and story.

If you perceive it all as a filler arc season, in of itself, the themes were cool as heck.

Iā€™m going to go out on a limb though and say that Shadowlands was still way cooler than Dawntrail.

We may have bearded ladies for comic relief but at least we donā€™t have cat girls. This is a W.

I donā€™t know, that whole Heritage Found through Solution Nine thing was dope.

As were the FF9 references. But then FF9 was one of my favorites of the entire franchise right next to 4.

No way in the 'verse.

I guess, but itā€™s weird.

I thought Shadowlands was fun. I didnā€™t know that was a controversial opinion.

In fact, Iā€™ve enjoyed all the expansions except for Legion, and I liked 90% of Legion, minus the lore changes and the quest that forced me to play as Illidan to convince me he wasnā€™t really Illidan.

I think when it comes to the player, canonically we never really die. Occasionally we do, but itā€™s always in service of the plot and someone else intervenes to save us (Arthas, Argus, etc).

When it comes to splatting at the bottom of a cliff or a dungeon wipe, as far as the storyā€™s concerned those deaths never happened. Itā€™s definitely just for the sake of gameplay that weā€™re able to infinitely revive and have it be no big deal, in the face of established lore that says you very much die when youā€™re killed except in extreme circumstances.

That is a huge loss! But we got foxgirls and cowgirls. My wolf girs are here as well

The flightpaths and Oribos hub in between were absolutely brutal. I recently went to level a DK there, took a FP, got a quest that sent me back to Oribos, and immediately hearthed back to SW to switch the chromie time expansion. That expansion is a mess.
