Jaina’s hypocrisy (lovin’ more of that Alliance self-righteousness and moral superiority!) and Anduin’s stupidity aside, IIRC this conversation takes place after the Alliance has already fled the city anyway.
Because again, they knew going in that they didn’t have the strength or numbers to hold it.
Yeah, please check your disbelief at the door here.
So much of BfA was literally, “this happened because we told you so,” rather than the players actually being shown it, and this is a great example. We’re supposed to believe after one battle—which the Alliance literally had to flee from, and which resulted in one of their leaders getting pounded into a coma and another injured—along with a single Warfront (Darkshore doesn’t count to the “core Alliance,” it was purely Kaldorei vs. Forsaken), which by nature of the gameplay, can go either way, that the Alliance is somehow “on the cusp of victory”?
Show don’t tell is a serious problem with Blizzard Writers yes.
If you ask Horde posters Jaina walked away from that fight perfectly unscathed. But Nathanos totally got his backend whooped. Cause uhhh… Alliance bias… In an expansion where the Horde gets to delete a playable Alliance race.
I’m not saying it’s logical. I’m just saying it’s the stated canon.
I’d point out that in the short story Elgy, it’s described that the kaldorei survivors overwhelm stormwinds ability to hold them and they send a bunch to places like goldshire…but you know, that would go against NEFPA logic
Night Elves are still in the story, a big part of it actually. AND, just checked, you can still create Night Elf characters. And they got a lot of new customization options with SL.
