This was my point, yes.
And my point is Iâve no earthly idea now any Forsaken feel about any of this. Are they accepting of it or resentful? I donât know. The only Forsaken character still on the pay roll due for any screen time just joined the political entity at the start of the expansion.
Maybe theyâre mindless followers. Maybe the reason they were so willing to accept her abandonment is because to a man theyâd all begun to suspect the worse and her âthe Horde is nothingâ finally confirmed it for them.
Iâve no in game experience to suggest either option is more or less plausible.

This is my point as well.
My point also merely extends to Sylvanasâ expansionism in Cataclysm being because it was in Sylvanasâ interests, and I doubt we will be seeing any expansionism from the Forsaken again without her.

They actually got back Darkshore, and Iâm pretty sure Ashenvale too, off-screen like the usual blizzard fashion mind you.
Amadis has posted the pop up book that states the evacuation was a success, so again, off-screen blizzard fashion.
When the Forsakenâs whole story is written around her and most of their named NPCs are either war criminals, dead, or have no development to speak of I would say yea, they have lost not only her, but a good part of their racial Identity

Still waiting on confirmation on Ashenvale, but that would be nice, yes.
It was from the collectorâs edition of Elegy, not the pop up book, but yes.

I admit I was wrong. I shouldnât have put in 10,000 years.

Iâm bothered by Brill being deleted from the game without a whisper. It was the first city I reached in game, and I remember enjoying it in 2004 and thinking of it as home. But in BFA itâs just gone. No mention of what happened, the NPCs never show up anywhere.
But I guess I donât DESERVE to care, because Blizz has decided my race are trash and should be hated by everyone including ourselves.

I donât read it that way. I read it as having mad on vengeance against Elune and Tyrande and the Horde are the available vehicle to that end. We probably wonât even see them outside of the Darkshore Warfront any more.
So far on the 8.3 PTR they show up at Tirisfal Glades with Calia and Derek.

Losing Sylvanas is the best thing to ever happen to the Forsaken.

This ⊠remains to be seen. Blizz did a piss poor job building up replacements for her when she left, which means what the Forsaken are going forward ⊠and who they are led by ⊠will need a lot of TLC. Voss is preferable to Calia, but sheâs far from making sense as their current Council Rep. Tattersail, Faranell, and Velanora are all bare bones characters at best. Belmont is ⊠tainted ⊠but there may be a use for a âchainsawâ like him from time to time. Chadwick Paxtonâs squad and Tehd Shoemaker are fun as hell ⊠but theyâre meme characters at best atm.
In terms of characters, the Forsaken are in a terrible spot. In terms of territories, the Forsaken remain in a very ambiguous and questionable spot. In terms of maintaining elements of their current racial fantasy, things are very tentative ⊠and even concerning. Losing Sylvanas has thus far only amounted to extreme net negatives for the Forsaken PC race ⊠and for anything positive to come out of it ⊠its going to take a hell of a ton of work. Opportunity does exist in the wreckage left by BfA ⊠but like all potential, its only valuable if its achieved.

The book really said this?
It was Elegy, not the pop up book, but the collectorâs edition also has the following pictures:
And the accompanying text about just how many Night Elves ended up in Stormwind and Elwynn Forest:
- The Stormwind night was alive with controlled chaos. Even in an evacuation, when the night elves could be forgiven for being terrified and out of control, there was no screaming, no violence, no crush of bodies crowding one another in a stampede to safety.
The cathedral could hold no more refugees, not even in the darkest corners of its extensive catacombs. The inns had ten to fifteen in each room. Even certain areas of the keep were filled with silent, stoic kaldorei. The flood spread to seemingly every surface of the city, continued down through the Valley of Heroes, and spilled out most of the way to Goldshire.

I donât care.
Your leader genocided Night Elves for no good reason, you lost your own capital due to rationalizing it instead of immediately questioning how initiating total war was in your peopleâs best interests much less the Hordeâs, and you lost your leaders due to similarly blind loyalty when it was blatantly obvious she was going off the deep end.
So no, I have no sympathy for the Forsaken or their playerbase. You were only too happy to gleefully rationalize Teldrassil and everything that came after and only became outraged when your actions and hers finally resulted in tangibly negative consequences to you.

Imagine getting mad at players for decisions they have no say in. Youâre literally just as responsible for the burning of Teldrassil as any Forsaken player. Because only the writers are lol

i think that he is referring to the edgelords, sure, there are some ârationalâ forsaken players as you, that doesnât mean that people are going to forget those who tried as hard as possible to justify teldrassil or mocked about it.
They had a good laugh at teldrassil?
Who is laughing now?.

Love how you included quotes around the word rational. As if Forsaken players canât be really rational. Doesnât make you stand out as an outlandish ar$ehole. Not at all.

I donât think edgelords who play the undead because âlol zombieâ care much about the story one way or another. Indeed a good amount of the playerbase does not in general.
Also generally speaking painting any group of people with a brush dipped in their lowest common denominator is just bad praxis.
