Mistress Stradama, the margrave of the House of Plagues, used some klnd of plague-bomb as a final act when the Houses of Rituals and Constructs attacked her. This blew up the entirety of the House and left most of its people as irradiated wrecks or mutated into humanoid slimes. Stradama herself was thought destroyed, but actually served as horrifically mutated herself, and is the boss of the Plaguefall dungeon.

Well, we can do you blood and love without the rhetoric, and we can do you blood and rhetoric without the love, and we can do you all three concurrent or consecutive.

Frostmourne and the Helm of Domination were brought out into the real world by the Burning Legion. That reference means we're likely going to see how the Burning Legion did that...
if Blizz decides to see the story out and not drop it halfway.
I think the short would look much better if it was basically an unknown character instead of Draka. Because, when we see Draka, we expect the short to be "about Draka", but it isn't. She might have been the character shown in the short the most, but she wasn't the focus of the story. She was, basically, a secondary character to the story itself.
Man, I know Blizzard is being urged to cut costs, but this really is becoming a joke.
Honestly, it seems seems like Activision put J. Allen Brack in charge expressly to make their word law.
Blizzard's best days seem to be behind it, and it's a fucking shame, because that piece of shit Bobby Kotick is making more money than ever, while he wrings the last bit of life out of Blizzard. It's no wonder all of the OG's of Blizzard left (or were forced out).
A trait Draka pretty shares with the greater Maldraxxus zone, unfortunately. I think it's fine that Draka's there, in the sense of her character and all that, but there's no story that really ties her to the zone or explores her presence there. As I said in another thread, perhaps later storylines will involve her more directly in the story - but so far both this Afterlives cinematic and the leveling quests in Maldraxxus don't do much with her. Vashj actually gets the lion's share of story between the two of them.

Of course it is. Blizzard is reusing art-assets in their "hype videos". That's something that "the old Blizzard" would've never done. This is clearly yet another attempt to cut corners to cut costs, which has been a recurring theme that Kotaku has been reporting on the past several years.
So dense was the mind that forged these words that light must bend around it.
The fuck do you mean?
The "cynical" position is just common sense, company saves money where it can. The middle one is subjective and I won't point out that you care enough to comment on a thread about it. While the 'shill' is position is also true fucking everyone does it.
Yes it's a reused shot. Not sure what the big deal is. Regardless of the company's scale, this sort of thing happens all the time. "Indie" or not. Why some have chosen to dwell on it and draw conclusions from it one can only guess.
It could be a plot point that they'd have her fighting demons, though the location was very subtly changed to be more swampy so I don't think it's intended to be the same location, just asset reuse.
Nothing crazy. Next time you're leveling a character pay attention to the animation "skeleton" rigs of the NPCs and count how many are familiar. Off the top of my head, gorens and the desert lightning beetles are both furbolgs under the skin.
I just had a question. what happens when you die in shadowlands?
in maldraxxus for example? if you die in fae lands you were becoming a part of the grove, greenery etc if I remember correctly. But what about the rest of the places?
