It’s cool that there are no more conflicts between the Silver Covenant and the Sunreavers.
Midnight is coming soon, Vereesa and Aethas will be ready for elven unification.
Current Kel’Thuzad is what you get if you read the summary of a wiki entry.
He was originally a coldly logical, dispassionate, but devoted presence. Like a twisted majordomo Alfred to the Lich King’s Bruce Wayne. None of this “NYAHAHA, HE-FOOL! I’LL TURN YOU INTO GHOULS, NYAAH!”

Anybody who’s still upset about the “purge” of Dalaran: you are now free to go out to the wreckage and pick out any piece of it you want. Get yourself a piece of the city that was so important to fight over.
Funny how two people can do the same quests and get radically different opinions or reactions on it. I got none of that when doing it.

Yeah, I don’t see it. He just goes on about how he hates the Kirin Tor’s lack of vision and inability to budge on taboo matters. And it’s only a mirror image - which isn’t even really him, just an imprint of his personality, possibly at the time that he made it.
It was perfectly in character for him, especially as this is obviously him at the beginning stages of his journey into necromancy.

Me neither. I saw the cold and distant dude who started to dislike the kirin Tor

Yeah, it’s kinda been fairly long established that the one thing that made Kel’thuzad less than reasonable was his fixation on forbidden magic and knowledge. Even before he got into illegal necromancy, he was noted to be getting on the nerves of the other members of the Council because he kept incessantly bugging them to agree to let him basically pillage Medivh’s libraries after the Guardian’s death.
He was generally cold and rational, but harbored a deep and increasingly reckless obsession toward forbidden magic, which led him to become spiteful of his peers for continuing to preach caution and restraint.

And the delivery/dialogue sounds almost 1:1 like Benedictus in Hour of Twilight.
Seriously, just contrast KT scenes in WC3 with anything in SL or this Dalaran quest.
“Purge? What Purge?”
Blizzard’s new motto.

Kel’Thuzad had his personality warped beyond saving when they twisted him to of been a servant of not the Lich King but ACTUALLY the Jailor ALL THIS TIME, YOU FOOOOOLS!
Insert mad cackling here
Also there was not a single Mr. Bigglesworth reference in that entire pocket dimension. I was deeply disappointed.

huh. I might of missed it, there were like 100 people in there because they did not phase it… so It was hard to see anything.

I’m becoming increasingly convinced that the current team is trying to do the next best thing to a reset. Sylvanas is now the Ranger-General version of herself. They deal with the purge by eliminating Dalaran. Event before Shadowlands are never to be spoken of again.
It might work. But they need new lore to replace the old. They have done with the Alliance. But if they keep ignoring the Horde, it won’t really work.

Kael’Thas suffered a similar fate. Both are practically unrecognizable to me.

The Purge should’ve brought up so that Blood elves could finally get their sorry from Jaina so we could bookend it. Of course, I know that wouldn’t be the end of it, with Blood elves being so tragedy starved that they would refuse to ever let it go.
We would also get some form of The apology rang hallow or There’s an ulterior motive or How dare Aethas accept her apology from people.
It’s just one of those events that no matter what blizz did with it, somebody is going to complain about it until the end of time.
Really think the best move is to bury it, and move on. Let the past go as it were in this case.
All of this is accurate, which makes it a bit odd that Manabomb/Thalen ended up figuring so prominently in the questing.
Another elephant in the room for me is the Nerubians. Ansurek is dead, Xal’atath was thwarted, and Azj-Kahet is recovering. So we go down there and murder a bunch of them for (I’m not entirely clear on this) either stealing or building a mana bomb. The timing is very odd. Maybe the quest was originally slated to happen earlier?

The Nerubians presently have no leadership really, and there certainly could still be some of them looking for that Glorious Future that Ansurek promised but failed to deliver.

I’m guessing the quest is meant to take place sometime before the raid. Looks like they were building it as some sort of Press button if all else fails. But when the leadership got wiped out, the ones building it never got the memo due all the wacky magic that was going on around the bomb itself.
It is weird, I’ll give you that.
If the Pillars pop up again I want Thrall to dual-wield the Doomhammer and the Hammer of Khaz’goroth. I don’t need it to make sense, I just need it.
