Will we see more of Azshara?

[Kagthul]

no i mean after the patch, the patch is named rise of azshara.

and in the interview it was stated that its not just a turn or phrase so i think its maybe the start to something more with herü

.. they said in the same interview that the entire zone wont be underwater.

Rise.

Not just a turn of phrase.

Literally rising from the depths.

Not rocket surgery.

just as Deathwing wasn't.

... Deathwing is in WC2.

[Airlick]

... Deathwing is in WC2.

Yeah, I've tunnel visioned onto WC3 and it slipped my mind that Deathwing actually did feature in WC2. Still, not the case with Azshara.

[Aelsca]

If you look at the context, he's talking about Naz'Jatar physically rising from the sea floor.

This.

I wish they did some connection to the zone Azshara but that won't happen cause it's a part of the Cata-zones - but still.

[matrix123mko]

Aszhara is IMO going the way of Kil'Jaeden and being offed in this xpacs version of Tomb of Sargeras.

I think we will get this. 30 seconds in trailer + bossfight. We won't get any more lore in this zone, just Sentinax farming for mount.

I wouldn't say three shitty zones, I quite liked them, which is why Argus not being it's own thing is really disappointing.

This. I hate when they rush with lore just to have "epic ending". Argus, Naz'jatar, Kul'tiras and Zandalar should have been their own expansions. I imagine how we will get K'aresh as only one zone in next expansion.

[Benomatic]

I can see her being as Gul'Dan was in in WoD. Brief encounter in BfA then return in a more prominent role in a future expansion.

[Synros]

See more of her...as in...no clothes..or what??

I've always wanted to see naga tits...

I'm hoping so too. She's way too important and powerful to just be dealt with in one patch.

Azshara was heavily hinted at through Lady Vash'j and the Nagas in TFT

[rogueMatthias]

It's a shame we have to kill her. With all the "morally grey" shit going on, she could have had a larger role in the story.

[George Lucas]

I doubt it, there is not much to her. She is a megalomaniac and was never nuanced or interesting. She was just hyped up because Blizzard had better villains, while keeping her in the background for a very long time and making her appear mysterious.

[Deleted]

They will waste her potential. Simple as they wasted and waste the potential of most of their characters, hero or villain or anything in between. The story will continue to being shit as long as Blizzard won't hire proper writers who love the world and game and aren't incompetency incarnate.

[Deleted]

My guess: She plans to rise the sea level

I don't think Azshara was even a named character at the time TFT released.

[Combatbutler]

If Azshara is the one to open up Naz'jatar, she is so incredible stupid it isn't even funny. Average level of legion demon screaming my death means nothing mortal your world will burn stupid if not kobold you not take candle stupid.

[Thelxi]

It's likely the patch will only be a setback for her. Blizzard has regretted killing off big villains too quickly before and they have not hesitated giving others multiple raids.

Considering BfA "stellar" storyline I wouldn't have been surprised if Azshara had been killed in a questline.

[Puri]

what could it mean

The patch name "Rise of Azshara" is not just a turn of phrase

It means they already have a cutscene where she literally stands up or lifts herself with a landmass that is going to be the appropriate questing area.

[Ujimasa Hojo]

I don't think Azshara was even a named character at the time TFT released.

If I remember correctly, Maeiv comment on a statue of her.

[Feanoro]

They got old very fast, especially the constant "We must strike before the Legion fortifies this area!" despite previously having 25k years to do so. Nope, it's just demons wandering around outside.

[Foolicious]

If I remember correctly, Maeiv comment on a statue of her.

She has. Azshara was mentioned and her story was basically summed up in two sentences back in the day.

The patch name "Rise of Azshara" is not just a turn of phrase

from the interview, that we will see azshara rising and bexoming something motr?

From what i've read it sounds like she raised nazjatar on purpose. We still don't know exactly what happens in the shrine of storms or why it could need to be raised, but we have a quote from xal'atath for 8.1 that implies she has a reason to do so.

Know that you did help to stop those paltry invasions -- and by that, we have now opened the door for something bigger from Nazjatar.

I really hope they don't throw azshara away in one patch :/

[Arrashi]

If Azshara is the one to open up Naz'jatar, she is so incredible stupid it isn't even funny. Average level of legion demon screaming my death means nothing mortal your world will burn stupid if not kobold you not take candle stupid.

I don't see why removing all your defense and exposing yourself to attack is stupid. Could you elaborate ?
