We went from beating up the Lich King and Deathwing to having to beat up some angry orc roided up on void juice. Power scaling has been broken since MoP at least, and the writers can always make up some new reason that some other Old God or Void Lord is the real super big universe ending threat for real this time.
There were no Void lords in BFA? At best we killed off the Old gods CURRENTLY on Azeroth, if lore statements are to be believed both in and out of game then there are literally thousands if not trillions of Old gods on other worlds besides Azeroth. Plus we kinda killed Yâshaarj (or rather finished killing him by breaking his heart ⊠LOL literally XD) back in MoP, Nâzoth was in no way the âstrongestâ Old god of the 5 and was the second weakest one before the artificial one known as Gâhuun.
Arent Void Lords like on the same tier as Elune or something?
Anyway, calling it right now, Khadgar is a Void Lord.
We took out the weakest Old God Gâhuun at full power, second weakest Old God NâZoth at full power, the third weakest Old God CâThun before he could regrow his head(thus leaving his mind vulnerable), the second strongest Old God Yogg-Saron while he was still imprisoned and the strongest Old God YâShaarj while he was reduced to a Heart.
As NâZoth shows the head we fight is actually the Old Godâs mind. CâThun was fully free like NâZoth yet his actual head hadnât regrown yet so he was more vulnerable than NâZoth and thus not at full power. the even stronger Yogg-Saron was also missing a head and was still imprisoned on top of that!
In any case Old Gods are mere servants of the Void Lords who can only manifest as Void Elemental Avatars.

Lol no. Sargeras is the one true big bad. Void Lords are something the Starcraft writers who were shifted over to the WoW department came up with because they felt they had to one-up Metzen, but Sargeras will always be the #1. He was the big bad since this franchise first started and to end it any other way would honestly disrespect the franchise itself.
Priests do. Xalâatath told them about âTrue Light and True Shadowâ back in Legion, along with the fact that there were beings âthat came before the Draeneiâ. We also know how what we call these powers are flickers or shades of it at best. At the least Priests have a treasure-trove of lore and knowledge about the state of the universe, even if the class is a pile of cow-dung.
Void lords cannot be confronted or the game becomes the stalest thing.
Theyâre one of the deciding forces on that magic chart.

I like to think of them like Câthulu. The real concept by Lovecraft. We see a Void Lord and we see what we want, because we canât grasp their fifth dimensional existence. Whether that be a mass of tentacles like Hermaes Mora, or a blob of shadow that we canât fathom; is up for debate.
I feel like the best way to define a Void Lord, is to equate it to a sentient black hole. It canât be stopped, and the best you can hope for is to move it slightly with a herculean effort so that it misses you. But you never actually hurt it.
Maybe even a Titan ultimately is an ant, and any claims that a Titan like Azeroth could stop them is just the Titan buffing their ego against the fact that there exist things way more potent than them.
I think thatâd be a refreshing change. That there exist in the universe some things that you cannot defeat or overcome. But you can subvert or redirect so that you can survive and avoid them.
Perhaps then there are mortals like Shadow Priests who siphon slivers of that power off or worship them, but do those Void Gods even care? Nope. If you summon them, your a lunatic; because you just put yourself in front of eternal hunger and are the first course of itâs next meal.
Case and point, Dimensius and Karesh, the Ethereal Homeworld.
Something more primordial in nature, that lacks the though patterns of us humans. Whether they are just that far beyond us in thoughts, or whether they simply are primal forces of the universe; thatâs where I feel like Blizzard should go with the state of the Old God / Void Lord lore.

Thatâs a lot of deep and mythical lore for the player character to take the priority when it comes down to the conflict, unfortunately.
Something sort of snapped in me when all artifact weapons were deleted at once just because of gameplay. I donât believe there is a capability for the story to be stable enough to view things as dangerous anymore.
yes look at vannila and tbc trailer its about horde vs alliance
We have yet to see Void Lords. Old Gods are a tool of the void lords. More like their scouts.
Void Lords are spooky scary old god creatures hiding in Dark Space waiting to come out and take over the galaxy.
Basically the entire Void Plot will be Mass Effect all over again, and the ending will be just as bad.
No, it was Nâzoth. Just Nâzoth.
We lost Sylvanas, Saurfang and Rhastakan, horde doesnât have an warchief (itâs foxes and friends council). and Zandalari fleet is sunk.
Guess Nâzoth won in the end.
The Old Gods are only scouts.
Scouts.
There could be countless terrors beyond the stars, not to mention a resurgence of a demonic Legion once a charismatic, brutal Deamon Lord rallies the shattered remnants. Sargeras may be gone but that may not be the same for all of his Lords and minions across the worlds they have ravaged in their wake to reach Azeroth.
Nzoth played us big time.
He is prob the least interesting boss in wow
The void lords were a bit like the Death Star
"Behold the POWAH of this fully armed and operational Battle sta-- WTH!!! A teenager in a tiny fighter just destroyed it?! "
Void Lords summed up.
Only when Blizzard can do a faction war without turning one into a villain.
the only thing that saved BFA from being a complete piece of trash was pivoting away from the stupid faction war garbage into something more meatier
Wrong, Sargeras wanted to destroy azeroth because the void was corrupting it. Without the voidlords Sargeras would have been a good guy
