End Game for Sylvanas

[united]

how do you guys think the writers will finish sylvanas' story arc?

will she become the bad guy? return to her old body, all fresh and alive? or will she somehow manage to take over all of azeroth?

thoughts?

If she dies, its going to totally be a shitty redemption arc where she lets herself die for someone who doesnt deserve to live, like Vereesa.


Or she and Genn will kill eachother.


Or she will take Helya's place.

But most likely a semi answer will show up for the val'kyr and nothing will happen.



No one will take over Azeroth, not in WoW's lifetime.

I would like to see her interacting grudgingly with the new Lich King once her Valkyr run out, could make for some interesting tension. I'm not convinced a good story is able to be told in an mmo but I think those two facing the abyss and how they handle that could be compelling.

I think it's becoming clear that we are heading towards Wotlk 2 sooner rather than later and having her being forced to become what she hated would be appealing to me at least and could also incorporate aspects of SoO 2 as well.

It won't happen I know, but I'd like to have an expansion that focused on a precursor to the army of light engaging in a northern campaign to cleanse the eastern kingdoms and Northend of the undead threat once and for all.

More likely? She and the forsaken will continue to be immune to the consequences of their actions because they're a playable faction and nothing really changes in an mmo.

return to her old body, all fresh and alive?

Have I missed something? Surely she's already in her old body, which happened to be dead.

You thought this was my real body? Bamboozled.

[Aliven]

She will be either villain with dungeon/raid build around her like shell for players to kill loot, die outside of game in a shitty comic or book, get jizzed with light by Space Marines to become normal again, be forgotten by blizzard or stand out for other faction leader to take her place.

It will be awfull writing and story regardless, and much drama on forums.

[Teri]

I hope we get at least get a rebuilt/expanded undercity, it's about time that city (along with Silvermoon by the way), before we get yet another warchief.

I just hope for Legion at least we don't kill off 2 Faction leaders in a row.

I hope she dies already, or at the very least resign her position as Warchief, and I heavily doubt she's going to resign her position willingly, so someone will have to Mak'gora her elven butt and you know she won't be honourable about It, Saurfang for Warchief. Cause I can't possibly see any other orc taking that position, not anyone noticeable at any rate. And yes It has to be an orc, screw Vol'jin and Sylvannas, not my Warchiefs.

[Arrashi]

There is nothing else left to be said. She will concentrate all the salt of azeroth (and beyond) in one place. And then.....there will be no hope left for anyone.

She'll make it out of WoW and be one of the factions in Warcraft 4, since there's no way they won't have an Undead faction, and I don't see the new Lich King/Scourge making it out of WoW. The writing in this game has gotten even less subtle, somehow, and they're not even hiding the fact that they're setting up storylines anymore. Bolvar and the Scourge, and maybe the Death Knights (But probably not since I don't think they have the shrewdness to do a player faction as evil), will definitely be a villain before WoW ends.

Why do you think they will ever end her story arc? Sylvanas is proberly gonna be a cockroach character, staying alive to the very end and is there to see the world end. Nothing in Legion points to her getting some kind of closure for anything.

best outcome: Odyn grands her access to valkyr as a reward for stopping the legion.

medium outcome: all valkyr who used to follow helya now start following sylvanas.

bad/likely outcome: odyn starts destroying non-loyal valkyr. forcing the few that remain to seek refuse with sylvanas and creating tension for the future.

giving her at least a handful extra valkyr after legion lets them postpone a true endgame for her own expansion several years from now.

I think the Genn/Sylvanas arc is done. w/e new story content we will get in 7.3 will be about argus and setting up the expansion after, not about sylvanas/genn.

They can always pull a SoO moment with most of the death knight npcs falling under the sway of Bolvar, like he hinted in the mount quest, but the player is a special snowflake death knight that resists bolvar to fight the good fight for your faction.

As for Sylvanas Blizzard likes it to redeem very popular antiheroes, so we will most likely see a vomit inducing redemption story at one point.

"It was a this very moment when they noticed a brick, flying right through the window. When they decided to inspect the object, now lying among shards of glass they noticed that something was attached on its back. When they took a closer look, it started to faintly glow and emit a quiet noise. "Forgot about me, motherfuckers ? - said Xe'ra"

Honestly im just waiting for redemption of garrosh when he will say "Now you see the world with my eyes".

[Rathbourne]

im gonna take this as an end to sylanas' story line overall and not just in legion.

I think the best thing for her to do is to die,but be redeemed in death and not fall into the void as Arthas did.Or if you want a bit of irony,she becomes a villain,dies and ends up in the same void shes been trying to avoid all this time.

Despite the player being the one with direct mental link to LK. Mind you, I'm not disagreeing with you. I find it to be a plausible outcome of the Bolvar arc. Just pointing out the additional layer of stupidity that Blizzard will brush under the rug.

She will marry Jaina and they will live happily ever after
