It was most likely done as a combination of having Sylvanas get a “See how brutally effective she is” and the “rule of cool Jaina warbringer” going for Jaina
Still didn’t make it any less stupid, but at least the cinematic was cool and the blight ultimately didn’t matter enough
On the topic of a Siege on Stormwind. I imagine they would have to have something special planned for the tram to Ironforge if this hypothetical scenario is indeed true and they want it to be succesful for the Horde
Otherwise they can just keep ferrying reinforcements and supplies from Ironforge
Gonna lol so hard when it turns out there is no SW raid. But if there does end up being one, i’m ignoring all the bosses and making straight for the Pig and Whistle Tavern for some hanky panky.
If there is one— It will be like Zanda raid. It will be two different story narratives and at the end, Blizzard will state which was is the correct one…
I’ve already beaten the life out of stormwind on more than one occasion. Camped it with an old guild for nearly 2 days back in Cata. Could take it again no problem.
But probably they’ll just make it either just a questline where you fight NPCs on auto pilot, or just a cutscene, and there won’t actually be a battle of any sort because PvP is worse than hitler or something.
In a way I will too, but I don’t really forsee how any other raid would make sense for 8.3, fighting any old god atm is seemingly very pointless unless we are undead
Forget where I was reading it but I was pretty sure due to time constraints and Blizcon they are dumping everything after 8.2.5 and going straight to 9.0.
I was reading it somewhere and I don’t think it was actually on the forums. But I can’t remember, I just thought hmmm another incident of time running out for planned content.
Remember the cult running around Stormwind saying the end was coming and then poof their story line disappeared.
