Thread: Patch 3.3.2 - The Fall of the Lich King

Come on Boubouille, show us what we want. If you've got all this information, you've clearly got access to the patch. What's the Lich King loot? Surely if you're willing to give us a chance to spoil ourselves by watching the Lich King's death, you'll let us spoil ourselves with the Lich King loots! I'm counting on you!

Boubouille, damn! You forgot the comics!

I agree...but I'm guessing there will be some kind of NPC dialogue after the cinematic...or there will be a part 2 if there isn't NPC dialogue or a part2. Blizzard has gave us the worse cliff-hanger ever.

This was from the "Korean" patch notes last week :

I was wondering if the buff to devastate was reverted since it isn't anymore on this patch notes ?

that skills shurely are gona hurt (I see a wipe for at least the 90% of the raids), and it make sense why Trition is going to be able to keep the secret about Bolvar; in the end of th fight all the raid is going to die ad trition is going to be alone up there

I'm guessing that Blizzard knew the cinematic would be data-mined the instance the patch went live, and therefor left some of the story told be told throughout and after the fight. Perhaps even an in-game sequence similar to the one in Halls of Reflection, but I could just be setting myself up for disappointment.

Though personally, I liked the cinematic and think that the people who were disappointed at it not being shocking or at it being predictable have only themselves to blame. Imagine watching this having never been to the forums to discuss what may happen, or reading other peoples predictions as they came to a generally accepted consensus as to how the expansion would come to a close. More importantly, imagine never having seen the "Lavaman" model before, as the fate of Bolvar was only known due to people data-mining his model. (I have my own theory that his model was supposed to be added in 3.3.2 along with the trailer but someone at Blizzard leaked it early by mistake, as the file containing it was rewritten to be blank the update after it went in.)

I feel that once people see the cinematic in game there will be an overwhelming positive response, as it will be in context and viewed by the general populace. (Not those that read up on every spoiler before hand on MMO-Champion, as it is guaranteed every poster here at least looks at the site.) I feel that Bolvar's story is far from over, and the true nature of the conclusion to the expansion still remains unknown.

Well, let's see, we kill Illidan, no cutscene, only Akama says they retake the temple. We kil...ahem...banish Kil'Jaedan, and get a nice little epilogue. We take out the Lich King, and they give us a pretty damn fitting cinematic. Yeah, it's not all that detailed and "omg pyro and parties and lewtz lololololol" It doesn't NEED to be. I think it is perfect. The Lich King dies, and in his final moments, we get Arthas. He knows everything he has done, doesn't ask for forgiveness which he knows he does not deserve, and he accepts his fate. Only asking if it's all over now. And Terenas, being a father, still loves, and forgives his son. Then Tirion, unaware of Bolvar sitting on the throne, is willing to sacrifice himself to ensure the scourge is controlled. Bolvar knows that he is not who he used to be, is willing to be the grand sacrifice by a noble soul. Tirion doesn't want his good friend and brother in arms to have to do that. Bolvar however, wants Tirion to live out the rest of his life however it plays out. Tirion knows this, and Bolvar, is crowned, so to speak, and freezes himself and presumably the rest of the scourge. As for leave now and never return? Who can blame him for saying that? He is no longer Bolvar, he is the Lich King now, albeit a (for now possibly) good one.

You guys do realize that's not Bolvar right?

It's Deathwing, so obvious.

nothing about new wintergrasp items yet?
