Dragon Soul - End Cinematic / Cataclysm Epilogue

Abysmal ending to cap off an abysmal expansion. I'm not surprised in the least.

1. Their powers are gone because they literally poured everything into the Dragon soul to destroy Deathwing -OR- they simply just lost their immortality (cannot live forever anymore) and still have powers
2. Nozdormu's future self is what would of happened if Deathwing won.

I didn't think it was melodramatic at all, it wrapped up quite nice.

It's like Blizzard wanted to come up with a plot twist that would surprise everyone since everyone saw WotLK's ending coming, so they pulled a "twist" out of nowhere without bothering to try and make it work with the existing lore.

Plot twist, hell. Who didn't see that coming?

Yep...

And Aggra's having a baby? :/

At some point. Whether or not it was conceived beforehand is probably debatable; it's possible that Alexstrasza does, indeed, have [Power Word: Fertility] and was just guaranteeing that it will be.

The reason why we got this shit is because CHRIS METZEN IS NOT A FUCKING STORYWRITER. He came into Blizzard as a fucking ARTIST, NOT WRITER. I wonder how many cocks he sucked on the director's board to get the writer's job.

Cenarius, Aviana, Malorne, etc.

Ummm what a shitty ending, reall?y give up your powers? the world is safe? how bout all the old gods who were the cause of the corruption in the first place? they are still there!

They kinda just took a dump on several of the major characters in WoW for no apparent logical lore reason.

The future that you see Murozond is just one of the futures that Nozdormu foresaw. Now, that future will not come to be because Deathwing died much, much earlier.

So final nail in the coffer for wow?

Just to clearify to some people here;They have no powers left because they poured all of it into the Dragon Soul. They also fulfilled their whole purpose of their powers. They dont need them anymore.As for Nozdormu this is the future where Deathwing dies. Hence he won't be corrupted.

I like how you like to insult, when you don't get anything at all yourself.

The aspects duties were fulfilled long ago, if it wasn't for Deathwing.

I would have liked that ending much, much better.

As long as the song didn't get cut out.

I'm sure it was a lame metaphor for the dragon's time running out, or having ran out.

Honestly, if they didn't want to "deal" with the Aspects showing up in all the future expansions/storylines... it would have taken a few seconds to write in something, like "they need to keep banding their power together to hold the world together after the Cataclysm, to avoid it going all batshit like Outlands, and they can't spare any time to trifle in the affairs of mortals any longer; the world's problems are effectively in your hands (not that they haven't always been...)"

There. I wrote that, well, as I went along.

Titans need to come azeroth somehow... In order to reach that particular "moment" where titans see the chaos in azeroth and decide to bring peace; in lore aspects needed to die, lose their power so some evil being(sargeras) can nuke the shit out of azeroth and this will take attention of titans. But this story is, in my opinion, would be the x-pack after MoP.

I'm not a lore guru and but this is what i get from common logic.

Their idea of "peace", if Algalon was any indication, was to blow the planet up and rebuild it from scratch.

Worst cinematic ever. This game really became so dull it's unbelivable.

Also the cinematics blew. A good prelude for the end of warcraft with pandaland meets pokemon. Playing fable while i wait SWTOR.

Oh swtor will suck too, nothing George Lucas wrote was original either,

Actually he ill, because the ending we saw in end time is actually better than what is going to happen. It ties well with this amazing article http://wow.joystiq.com/2011/11/06/kn...is-of-azeroth/

No, it wasn't. It was to watch over and maintain the world, so long as the old gods were around, and the old gods cannot be fully killed otherwise the world will more or less cease to exist... They were there to keep them in check. You need to learn more about lore... I quit WoW months ago and I know more about it than you. =/
