They won't let us kill Sylvanas

We will not kill her, but during the final showdown with the BBEG she will show up and do something that wlll allow us to win, but get ‘killed’ by the BBEG before we can kill it. There will be no body left to say she is truely dead so that in time they can bring her back in a big reveal that comes as a shock

To no one!

Bad writing aside, I think they’ve written Tyrande to the point of where she is now a mortal embodiment of Elune’s Wrath. I think Tyrande, at least the Tyrande that we know and love, is gone.

Now, it’s just Elune’s Wrath, and she’s taken over the body of a mortal powerful enough to bear her insane power.

A lich queen would be god awful… variety is fine or whatever but don’t need every major character/position filled by a woman while all the men are killed off.

It’s because that one dev is Nathanos and she’s his waifu.

That Mak’gora was basically staged though.

Saurfang know she had power like that, and he knew he was going to die. He was prepared for it.

That could have still been part of the overall story line without all the mustache twirling antics throughout the rest of the story.

Sylvanas will help us killing Tyrande, because she is not the writer’s favorite and nobody can hate the Horde without being labelled as crazy or Dreadlord.

Look at Jaina.

So looking at the story so far, how would you people fix it?

Oh me, me, me!

“You cannot Heal Stupid!”

Or, there is always Time Travel!

Wait, that is why they gave us Classic.

Then, Alternant Universe!

Wait, wait… already went there.

Gods?

No, no… that won’t do.

Hmmmm… I wonder.

Quit the game and unsub!

Yes, of course, force them to make a new game and retire this one with a completely difficult company and writers and well… only the visual artist and the systems people. But gamers, not the corporate jockeys that are clueless… I think they made a movie about that, didn’t they?

Get rid of a lot of the “old blood” characters, people get too irrational about them and want them protected from everything.

It’s hard to write anything / take risks when WC3 stans will go rabid.

This made me giggle for truth. People forget sometimes that paid writers have no investment in the story other than that of a paycheck (most of the time).

It’s like a bad soap opera where the character should have died in the fiery crash off the cliff but somehow survives and comes back next season (played by a different actor). Then the character suddenly forge a romantic relationship with the another character who the writers forgot was their child from season one.

Yes, it’s become that bad. I’m waiting for Sylvanas to emerge as the hero because Arthas never died but was instead saved by a Grummie shaman channeling the power of the void (or pineapple pizza) and has been rebuilding his power via an army of undead alpaca.

:cookie:

Okay Hillary…

I know how they wroted it, I know that’s what they were going for.

I still don’t like it, it’s not a good end for him.

death by sylvie is no different than any other way he’s tried to make himself die recently though.

Actually giving her a few nasty hits would have been fine.

She’s undead, she can take a hit, that flawless victory in pure melee is outrageous.

I could at least buy it if she ran away while using a bow.

It was a perfect end for him.

He baited Sylvanas into a confession, and he died in an honorable Mak’gora.

I can’t think of anything better for an old soldier who knew he couldn’t hide anymore.

Hard disagree, and frankly, you will never convince me of this.

she’s had a massive power up by whatever is powering her. you saw the smoke come out of her when he hit her. we don’t know what’s going on with that. it’s more of blizz thinking the story doesn’t need to make sense until the very end.

Oh okay, she’s using “special” shadow magic that the writers just pulled out of their rears. That makes the cinematic less of a garbage fire, thanks for clearing that up.

If the NPCs didn’t react like the side characters in a bad anime going “oh no she so pwrful u gais” I would have just assumed it was a shadow bolt.
