Thoughts on Eternal Palace ending *Spoilers*

[Aucald]

Since we are unable to lose no matter how stupid we act I guess not giving a fuck is a appropiate reaction :P

Wouldn't the end of the Eternal Palace count as a loss on our part? N'Zoth goes free, Azshara despite being beat down lives - she essentially accomplished what she wanted and survived to tell of it.

I feel bad for the cinematic teams. They are doing a great job working with this bullshit script from the Story team. Overall i was happy with 8.2, now this cinematic remembered me i'm still trapped in BfA.

I like how no one gives a fuck that another world ending threat just got out of prison.

That's because we've been in this situation every expansion and everyone already knew that N'Zoth was gonna get freed because of all the data mining and youtube videos. But yeah, it's really their own fault for spoiling themselves

I'm talking about ingame. N'Zoth is free and instead of teleporting us all out of the Palace like Khadgar did after KJ we just stand there...

I imagine that's supposed to express Jaina and Lor'themar's shock at what just happened - and there's probably a minor denouement after the cutscene where everyone departs.

i was expecting something like after TOS raid in legion . Is there any visual differences around world? like argus portal from 7.2?

[Hyral]

I expect nothing and I'm still let down.jpg

[Eazy]

Why N'Zoth didn't take us(heroes) and Jaina/Lor'themar instead?

nah this is the filler expansion we dont do things like that

woulda been sick shit though being on kul tiras or zandalar and looking around the sea in any direction to see n'zoths big old tentacles looming in the distance around the islands

Because he comes closer to being a Raidboss. And this means, he turns more retarded and incompetent by the second.

[McNeil]

My thoughts are about the same as I would describe GoT season 8, so there's that. There was no twist, no proper conclusion, nothing cool happened, basically just leaving an empty yet filthy taste behind. I guess they leave all the cool stuff for the final patch just to drag as long as possible.

"All eyes shall be opened"

Is N'Zoth going to resurrect all of the fallen Old Gods? Yogg-Saron, C'Thun and Y'Shaarj.

That could be why they are bringing Bolvar and the Dragons back in to the story since Yogg is in Northrend. We've already been spending a lot of time in Silithus with Magni but maybe the plan is to do more there with C'Thun. I dunno, maybe the Pandaren are about to be used if they want to use Y'Shaarj again.

[Azelas]

that's..... it?

I expected more tbh

[Krille]

All eyes shall be opened is a big deal. He shows exactly what he means by resurrecting Azshara in the very same cinematic (her eyes wide open), he will resurrect old gods or his old army or something.

The Old Gods and their minions seem to have been intimating pretty heavily of late (since Legion) that things are not quite as we understand them, and N'Zoth specifically seems to want to show us and everyone else something that it feels will change how we think about the presumed status quo. No idea what that is, or if it is meant to just be further inducement to see things the way the Void sees them. But his proclamation that "all eyes shall be opened" struck me as playing into this notion.

According to after dialogs, Lor'themar full support Thrall and Saurfang now. just eww

I would'nt count on Yshaarj. He was removed from the earths crust and its heart drenched to the bottom.
At best we could use more sha in its place.

It has been heavily hinted in this expansion that the other Old Gods are still active in one way or another. The mantid have been seen in the Island Expeditions, the Swarm under the new Queen is active once more. Ogmot the Mad and the Twilight's Hammer kept hearing whispers in Silithus. And there were still whispers and Faceless minions in Ulduar in Legion.

However, as has already been mentioned, why would N'Zoth bring back his enemies? Yogg-Saron and C'thun were his rivals in ancient times. The only way this would make sense is if N'Zoth seeks to bring back his brethrens as his minions, to rule over the Black Empire as its one and only master and at the same time humiliate his smug brothers who looked down on him in ancient times.

N'Zoth wants to be the sole God, he shall suffer no equal. Thus, if he brings back the other Old Gods, he will turn them into his servants somehow.

[Kazlofski]

Maybe we need a guy with N'zoth's eye to kill the boss, hopefully they get to see something special outside the raid.

The main symbol of the Old Gods has always been eyes so if his plans are to get the band back together that is pretty fucking huge that we could end up having to face all of them again. Maybe even in the same raid.

That's what I was thinking. He's going to bring them back as weaker versions that work for him. Make sure he's still the most powerful.
