    i like it as it is for now it doesnt have to impact on all of us right now. This sword should teach jailer how to play in background while we are doing other things, we know something about it, we know it is but we dont know anything more and thats fine

    My God I wish people would let this go.

    Is anyone freaking out over the Maelstrom? The giant scar in the world left by the Legion that leads to the World Pillar which would destroy Azeroth should it fall? No? Anyone?

    Then the Sword is fine. We literally sapped all the bad stuff out of it. It’s a splinter. The story is done.

    Wait! What giant scar? Maelstrom was caused by the Legion? I’m actually surprised people care about the sword. I was getting worried that none cares anymore about the story.

    Well, when you've been impaled by something, you don't cauterize around it and call it a day. Your splinter is half the size of the planet, that's like having a 1m-splinter embedded in your stomach, not very convenient. Additionally, correct me if I'm wrong here as I didn't follow in details that story, we have no way to be sure this sword isn't cutting through an important "system" or even the Titan's body itself, right ?

    Anyway, yes, it's just another scar in Azeroth. But unlike other scars, it was completely forgotten and never mentioned anymore. The Maelstrom or Hyjal had recurrent follow-ups throughout the extension with some quests asking us to visit the place for whatever reasons, so at least you know it's monitored somehow and still exists.
    (talking about that, we'll see if Teldrassil is mentioned at one point in Dragonflight or not )

    The sword was a less-than-one-expansion problem, despite it should have been way more than that.

    I'm pretty sure the sword's story is done by now. The damned thing is dormant and there really is no need to awaken it again. Well, unless you want to clean up Azerite for two more expansions because some idiot decided to yank the sword right off Silithus.

    This. Anyone with even basic first aid knowledge knows you don't remove a stabbing implement from a body unless you're prepared to deal with the resulting wound and bleeding. We have no means to deal with a wound of that magnitude. Best case scenario is Silithus becomes a second Well of Eternity with no negative side effects. And considering the Titans themselves stopped removing OLD GODS because the knew one more huge wound like the Well COULD kill Azeroth it goes without saying.
    The most difficult thing to do is accept that there is nothing wrong with things you don't like and accept that people can like things you don't.

    If we remove the sword itll become another well of eternity most likely.

    I mean, what do you want them to do with it?

    It's a gigantic titan sword that's buried deep into the planet, just due to its size we can't really do anything with it.
    It doesn't pose a threat anyway as we sucked it dry at the end of legion, and even if we did remove it with some magic, then what? We'd just end up with another gushing wound like the original Well of Eternity.

    Unless you have a surgeon and a clean enviroment around to safely remove it... you cut off the parts that stick out to far (if possible), clean the wound and then leave it alone until you can get back to the first point. Removing whatever you're impaled on is only advisable if either you have the medical tech available to do it reasonably safely and tend to the wound immediately, or when not doing so is definitely going to get you killed (e.g. you'd be stuck under a big falling rock).

    What you're suggesting will more likely than not lead to bleeding out and dying or getting the wound seriously infected. And dying.

    they'll probably just build a city around it for the people crazy enough to live in Silly Fuss. put in some elevators, build an observatory on the top...

    Pretty sure if something major was being cut Magni would say something, that's pretty much his job.
    We didn't forget the sword, shit just keeps happening drawing our attention elsewhere. The scourge started rampaging, then several leaders got kidnapped by winged people from the sky, then the jailer. We'll get to it someday.

    People need to stop thinking they will. They put that there because of mornic writing and pulling it out is too much effort. It's gonna stay there for the forseeable future. Doing another take on Silithus is probably not very high up their list in the first place. An exception would be stuff like full world revamp, but this is out of the question as well, since WoW seems to receive mostly support to keep it milkable, but the time for big investments is probably over. Partial revamps are probably better used in zones that have more interesting stories to tell.
    You are welcome, Metzen. I hope you won't fuck up my underground expansion idea.

    What the hell does basic first aid knowledge have to do with a gigantic mystical sword manifested in deep space and embedded into a planet? Clearly Ion is being hyperbolic by saying splinter. No splinter that size in relation to your body would just be sitting there forever and you paid it no mind.

    Anyone with basic knowledge of first aid would realize the person with that splinter would probably die from internal damage before too long.

    If you don't have any means of removing it safely? Yes, it would be sitting there forever. Why do you think people live with shrapnel in their body?

    Maybe actually inform yourself on the topic. Also, please don't tend to anybody with major objects lodged in their body, you'd probably kill them. Faster than the object would, at any rate.

    The way Blizzard has been putting big name characters back on the shelf after playing with them tells me that our final encounter with the void lords or whatever will 100 percent put all the pieces back on the table, including Sargeras.

    There's a fairly major difference between making something stop moving and removing it physically. We generally didn't kill these gods by seizing their body and suplexing it.

    I vaguely recall a developer "promise" that the remains of Gorribal in Silithus would be an important part of Shadowlands, Does anyone happen to have a source for this on hand by chance? Did some cursory Googling but I can't seem to find when and who said it originally, so I can't confirm if I'm just misremembering something.

    I know it is funny memes and all that but I share the sentiment of many in this thread.

    It has already been dealt with. Im sure they can do something with it later, but honestly i do not think it is necessary.

    I would be down for that though.

    A weapon to suplex metal gear. I mean, sargeras.

    Like its been said many times, it isnt ignored, its dealt with, we had a hole expansion where we gathered power and gave it all up to deal with the sword.

    Not sure if it was really a promise or considered an "important part" of the expansion but they did mention during one of the lore interviews during Shadowlands development that the sword wasn't as big a threat as before but it would get addressed in the expansion and I remember people then immediately started speculating everything from the Jailer was going to pull the sword from the planet and wield it in the final raid to Azeroth waking up in the final patch and using it to decapitate the Jailer.
