What happened to Tirisfal?

So the warfronts, which were billed to be areas which the Alliance and Horde repeatedly fought over, were only fought over once each?

Indeed for the Darkshore Warfront. Just like raids and mythic+ dungeons are billed to be run over and over, but in lore only done once.

Headcanon would be coming up with a fanfiction script for the Horde’s second turn that is not shown in canon in-game or otherwise at the Darkshore Warfront after the Alliance’s turn.

Danuser even explained this in your favorite interview, saying that they wanted the Darkshore Warfront to still be engaging so they didn’t want to release the wrap up so cleanly, likely because Horde players might get discouraged running something for so long that they already knew from the beginning they had been slated to lose.

No, no, no. Your intellectual dishonesty doesn’t fly here. The raids are never stated to be a recurring story implement. That was the whole theme of the warfronts. The factions would fight over them, build forces to take them, and then the other faction would do the same.

No, he didn’t. Don’t worry though, Amadis. Despite your usual willingness to copy paste things (though I know why you didn’t this time. :wink: ) I’ll take up your slack here.

Night Elf fans were also unhappy in the Alliance, as it seemed like their revenge for the Burning of Teldrassil was condensed into a single quest chain that ended in a stalemate and a Warfront.

“Fans of the Night Elves have great points they brought up about some of those things, and the intention was to never make Tyrande’s choices feel weak or marginalized in any way,” says Danuser. “But by the same token, we needed the Warfront to be fictionally something that would be engaged in for a long time. We couldn’t resolve things as clean there, but the intent was always to have her story carry forward. This isn’t just a small visual change that’s happened to her. It’s something fundamental to her character, and we’ll explore that much more deeply in Shadowlands.”

He did not say or imply in any way, shape, or form that they were One And Done. He stated that the intent was always to have her story carry forward, which
 is to the surprise of literally no one. No one thought the Horde would keep Darkshore. Not even Spuddy’s orc horde purist friend whose name escapes me.

And it was not delivered upon for the Darkshore Warfront, which did not even have rotating leaders.

Actually, I don’t recall them every saying it was a recurring story implement, either. Want to pick up the slack on that citation as well?

Yep, that’s what I was referring to.

You literally quoted it.

So that would mean that the Horde still occupied Darkshore and Ashenvale, proving even more that they are no better than Sylvanas.

You are being absurd here Treng, use some logic.

If the warfront was still being a thing in 8.3, then Shandris, one of the elven commander, was fighting in the same time at Darkshore, Dazar’alor, Nazjatar and then Orgrimmar.

Same for Genn and Tess, you are saying they were doing things in stormwind (worgen heritage) at the same time they were fighting for Darkshore


I know you dont want to accept it but just do it. The Kaldorei alone defeated the Horde in Darkshore during 8.1, just as their civilians almost defeated the entire Horde Army in War of Thorns.

You’re being absurd, compadre. The Horde and Alliance are fully capable of fighting with or without specific commanders.

Genn, Tess and Shandris are in the epilogue when at least the gilneans should be in stormwind during 8.3. As i said, this is just absurd.

With this “logic” you will be saying that the new intro leveling zone (1-10) of shadowlands happens after bfa just because of the gameplay implementation date.

What do you mean? Last time I checked that area was as active as ever.

Treng still trying? Kinda of sad if it makes you feel better the farmers
Wherent called up till after the battle of dazalore probably anyways

Notice the lack of the phrase “recurring story implement” in that quote? I did. Additionally, if your claim was that the Warfronts were billed to be one way or another you should be quoting something from the beginning of the expansion’s life, not an interview at its end.

And when did you see that at the Darkshore Warfront? In your headcanon?

No. Blizzard gave up on Warfronts super early on in the expansion because they weren’t even as close to as popular as they’d expected them to be. They announced two other warfronts that they didn’t add on. Likewise they just didn’t add more boss rotations like they did for Arathi.

This isn’t rocket science, alliance fans.

So none of this:

Ever happened. Not even in your own headcanon.

He admitted it in the interview you quoted. Literally spelled it out for you. If you’re incapable of reading (proof against your arguments), I literally cannot (and will not) help you.

You already quoted the interview up above, so people can see that he does not say the Horde came back without Nathanos or Sira.

People (usually? I guess maybe one does :face_with_hand_over_mouth: )don’t need their hand held to understand that people that a war isn’t the exact same scene repeated for over a year.

So you’re back to headcanon then.

So your only argument is the time the cinematic was implemented.

This.
