    As much as I hated Broken Shore, I honestly liked it better than Nazjatar. No contest. Mechagon was fun for like 2 days, then I realized there is no actual content.

    With Sadfang dead and being told they can't make a 57th Jaina trailer, the trailer team isn't motivated.

    Really? Nazjatar is a pain in the ass to traverse, but it's at least aesthetically good looking. Not a fan of the contrived excuse to make it a non-aquatic zone, though.

    Same for Mechagon, mechanically, I don't think Mechagon is all that good (holy mother of RNG, I still need that damn Triumph of Gnomeregan vinyl), but it offers an interesting aesthetic and some cool weapons and mounts to boot. Broken Shore felt more like a hurdle to flying and your class mount.

    Yeah, because it not changing a thing for you means it doesn't change a thing for anyone. Not that anyone in this thread said a word about trailers being what makes or breaks a patch. And please, given your need to spread your silencing of any and all criticism of whatever Blizzard does as if people wondering about them potentially dropping the trailers from their patch roster for the first time in 12 years was blasphemy you're in no position to talk about people being desperate.

    It may don't change a thing for you, but it would certainly build up hype more... maybe even bring more people online through the commercial effect of it.
    Silly you. The concept of subjectivity does not apply to WoW. @Queen of Hamsters is the sole authority of what can and cannot matter for people in regards to WoW. Since you seem to be new to this (despite this being practically WoW 101), if it puts WoW in bad light in even the most remote manner of course it does not matter.

    This straw-man you've got here is so massive it must have affected the prices of straw for the day across the entire world.

    Thanks, I probably couldn't channel my cynicism and sarcasm hard enough to make a post that boils down my feelings as well as you just did.

(albeit poorly, but it did do it.)
    Like Saurfang or not, those cinematics are objectively well-made. If you can't respect the cinematic team for the amazing work they've done throughout BfA, you don't even deserve cinematics.

    Also, no cinematic and a half-assed cinematic are the same thing. I don't care about a 8.3 cinematic if it's as forgettable and bad as the DS' trailer.

    No most of it looks like an abortion. It was lazily rehashed from Azsuna assets.

    I'm sorry but if your only argument is "at least they looked good". I'm sorry

    1) That isn't enough
    2) They didn't even look good

    Mechagon just used art assets from that junk pile in Tiragarde Sound.

    They are well made, but that doesn't make them good if the subject matter is trivial and overexposed. A cinematic is more than just the visuals.

    And no, a trailer, even a bad one, at least indicates some semblance of investment.

    My argument isn't that Mechagon and Nazjatar are great, just that they looked better than Broken Shore did and offered more. I am not arguing that they were good, just better than something that was worse.

    Not "mostly". Exclusively those. Every patch containing a raid since 2.3 had a trailer. And even some that did not.

    So I stick with my point.
    But @Yarathir didn't say it was just abandoned. They said it was rushed and abandoned. The rushing part clearly conveys that Blizzard got to the end point as quickly as they could because, you know, words mean things. So you saying that Blizzard had no content planned for after the ending they rushed to doesn't change anything whatsoever in regards to what they said. At all. And it doesn't negate that WoD had a boatload of scrapped content which is what the part about abandonment actually referred to. Which was kinda the entire middle act of the expansion.

    But @Eazy didn't say you have no right to label other people toxic. They said that your reasons for doing so are questionable at best, which, in turn, is precisely why they said you throwing that label around as if it were candy kinda backfires on you.

    In the same vein, deliberately misrepresenting what someone has said to save face in light of their criticism of your argument backfires just as well.

    Yeah, because you have to be mindless not to like there being no trailer and you have to be a part of a squad to do so. Only you, the enlightened (by Blizzard's light of course) free thinker can think for yourself without any clique telling you what to think. And look at all dem requests for you to be as mindless as everyone that disagrees with you (on how amazing Blizzard is). This thread is barely 200 posts long and you've joined like on the 8th page or so and there have already been at least 532466 such requests!

    Okay, but it wasn't trivial since it was an important part of the main storyline of the expansion.

    Your second argument can be summed up as "What's better? Having a turd or not having anything?".

    Because you're such an expert Case in point the time when you were using a signature about how people were negatively comparing BfA to WoD in order to discredit people critical of BfA as wrong for months as if your subjective opinion that BfA is better than WoD was the objective truth.

    Yes, we truly needed several HD cinematics to tell the story of various stages of Saurfang being sad. That time couldn't have been spent on anything better, at all. I'm glad you educated me, I guess.

    And my second argument can only be summed up that way if you ignore the nuance of how things can come across beyond just the quality of what you offer. If they made a trailer, no matter if it's atrocious, it still means they put in the time to present a content patch and the finale of an expansion in a format that has been dedicated to content patches for most of WoW's history. The absence of this indicates to me that they don't consider all this material important enough to create a trailer for, something even some patches with far less weight have gotten.

    Says you after blatantly misrepresenting @Eazy's reply to you. Your moral high ground is astounding.

    No, you didn't say they looked better, you said they looked good.

    They don't.

    Subjective. Despite the fact that I think Nazjatar not being underwater is a cop out, I still think it looks as it should, and good. It's a Naga place with elven ruins and a bunch of undersea assets and creatures.

    It definitely could've looked better. As I said, it should've been underwater to begin with, and probably a little more Old God influenced near where N'zoth was supposed to be imprisoned, but I don't hate it. Maybe that's just because it's overshadowed by my hatred for Nazjatar on a narrative level?

    Following your logic:

    "Yes, we truly needed several CGI cinematics that just list the major features of a patch that we already know about, I am so glad that Blizzard finally got their prioties straight and stopped."

    It's a multibillionaire company renowned for their quality cinematics. If they produce a turd as a cinematic, it's clear that they did not give a shit and just made the bare minimum so that people wouldn't complain.

    If you produce something, produce something of quality. I am not intersted in an half-assed product made just to up the cinematic count.

    Reminds me of someone in regards to WoD. Can't put my finger as to whom, exactly...
