"We're more of the love, blood, and rhetoric school. 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. But we can't give you love and rhetoric without the blood. Blood is compulsory. They're all blood, you see." ― Tom Stoppard, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead
Whenever they retcon the past lore to make the new lore fit, it really does aggravate me. Like now if you go back to those older events, they dont make any sense anymore.
But MMO's are designed in a way to "rape" established lore, but this MMO has gone on for so long that it's doing that to the lore established in the MMO itself
An Old God is needed to do that first, but as the dreadlords have already described, the Void is so preoccupied in multiple truths and -basically- conspiracy theories that they do not really have any structure. Powerful, but almost entirely random and uncoordinated at the highest levels.
Old Canon he was driven mad by the Demons, new lore... THIS ENTIRE UNIVERSE MUST BE PURGED... Aman'thul?
He's not insane(blah blah insanity is doing something over and over expecting different results), he decided the only way to save the universe was to eliminate any methods the Void Lords could could use to enter the universe and thus all life must be purged. Once that is done, he wants to remake the universe so that the void lords can never enter it.
It's possible that he had an ally in Zovaal and together would remake the Physical universe and the Shadowlands together, as we dont really see the Legion going after the Shadowlands and something Legion related broke the machine of death(either Argus' death or Sargeras sword)
also back to him going evil, I dont think that really happened until the Titans disagreed with him and told him of Azeroth, most powerful titan who's infested with Old Gods. Their sheer stupidity broke him if anything xD
"Started making trouble in the neighborhood"
Sorry... Couldn't resist.
On Topic: And that makes sense lore wise!
And I'm looking forward to what it may become.
But seeing as she needed a powerful being out of the way to be able to make said power move, shows she was inferior to begin with... lore wise.
Ingame-wise It's prolly gonna be a bitch of a raidboss anyway...
xal'atath was AT BEST an incredibly weak old god (even weaker and smaller than n'zoth) who got consumed by the others along the way. and now she doesnt even have a real body anymore, merely a void elf avatar.
shes not even close to a full old god level threat, and we just whooped n'zoths ass. why should anybody be concerned about xal
The crooked shitposter with no eyes is watching from the endless thread.
From the space that is everywhere and nowhere, the crooked shitposter feasts on memes.
He has no eyes to see, but he dreams of infinite memeing and trolling.
The Void. A force of infinite hunger. Its whispers have broken the will of dragons... and lured even the titans' own children into madness. Sages and scholars fear the Void. But we understand a truth they do not. That the Void is a power to be harnessed... to be bent by a will strong enough to command it. The Void has shaped us... changed us. But you will become its master. Wield the shadows as a weapon to save our world... and defend the Alliance!
I'm quite buying this
As I said in the other topic,
the Winter Queen was indeed sister of Eonar, but now dead. So Eternal Ones being Dead Titans.
If you think about it, the SL realms are very *ordered* for planes that are part of a plane of Death. The In-Between is more "unordered" if you ask me.
So Eternal One being former Titans explains well them doing this Order stuff.
Denathrius may be the dead World-Soul of Nathreza, explaining both how he can be the creator of Nathrezim and the Nathrezim having had their own homeworld.
So I agree the lore move by Danuser is seriously insane, but there's still a hope of consistency ... if done properly.
So far I was disappointed with Eternal powers. They are too weak to be even considered on the level of the Titans. They seem to have Keeper's level of power. May be it's caused by anima draught, but Denathrius does not starve yet he's weak. Doing tricks with swords? It's appropriate for Khadgar or Jaina, not Titan-level being. Sargeras would evaporate any being with single blink.
Jailer does not seem particularly strong either. He does have an excuse of being jailed and some orb ripped apart from his breast.
May be they're Titan-level creatures, but game failed to demonstrate so.
Furthermore, the Archon gets beaten by Devos, herself hardly a super powerful being, one who's ass we whoop in a 5 man immediately after. Denathrius does get to be the endboss of a raid and uses a lot of powerful magic so he's clearly a cut above her, but still doesn't showcase Titan level powers. To wit, beating a battered, tortured Titan fetus (Argus) required a raid using immensely powerful Artifacts, backed up by what remained of the Pantheon, and we still got rekt and would have lost if not for Eonar. Denathrius we just come into his castle and punt him for loots.
I think they're Titan level in terms of the authority they wield within their domains, at least in normal circumstances. Not necessarily in terms of ass-kicking prowess. But yeah, either way Blizz failed to demonstrate and their hype about a Death Pantheon was just empty hype.

The internet: where to every action is opposed an unequal overreaction.
With all due respect, the titans seem to be relatively weak, comparatively at least, in the latest canon, being defeated or captured several times. Even the final battle with Argus, they didn't do very much to help defeat him; Aman'thul's Temporal Blast was pretty useless against him. Even the naaru and their Army of the Light seemed to have much greater success fighting the Legion than they did.
