BfA Patch Speculation thread (8.3 and later).

I hope they don't plan to show irredeemable Sylvanas is by having her kill Saurfang. Considering how annoying he was this expansion that would redeem that nasty bitch.

The only person that is annoying is Nathanos..Saurfang isn't annoying unless you indulge in the RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH ME STRONG WAR1111"

[Raetary]

Why would the Saurfang cinematics be encrypted and added in the new build just now? lol.

Old soldier is 6:21, this cinematic is 6:42?

This cinematic is 6:18.
Just a couple seconds shorter, aka no logo intro.


As for why they are in there, i think its pretty clear:

Saurfang is probably gonna die and when you click on the necklace you see the cinematics. Pretty cut and dry.

ZZZZzzz

Aeluron lashing out when Alliance character is insulted, color me surprised.

Or the:

Boohoooo The civilians I murdered didn't face me when I killed them. I'm gonna reclaim my honor by saving the person posing the most threat to our plans and the one the Warchief very explicitly wanted dead.

Booohoooo The mean lady told me that throwing my life away is useless when I'm a seasoned veteran the war effort could use.

Waaah I don't like the direction of the Horde. Maybe I should challenge the Warchief or organize a rebellion. But you know what? Fuck it. I'm gonna get myself captured by the Alliance and stay in prison till Anduin kindly asks me to fuck off cause I'm taking valuable real estate from leftover Defias.

Or the: You know all those RTS games? I was in them somewhere. Cool, huh? I'm also related to that stupidly overpowered orc from that Knaak novel you didn't read. Yep, I'm awesome. I've got plenty stories that tell you so.

Need I go on?

[Shampro]

Aeluron lashing out when Alliance character is insulted, color me surprised.

Par of the course.

[Syegfryed]

Jesus, here i was excited then read couple of pages and everything goes to the dumpster that quickly, the cinematics being just the old ones is a kick in the balls.

if they finish the war campaign in 8.2.5 then its how most people imagined, 8.3 is banging together to fight an common enemy, n'zoth or Sylvanas in stormwind

Still betting money on Nathanos betraying Sylvanas at the very last minute.

to good to happen, he is the ultimate bootlicker

Well then the entire faction war had zero purpose (as we already suspected).

[Slowpoke is a Gamer]

Don't let the fact these aren't new cinematics distract you from how 8.2.5 is the end of the War Campaign.

[Raetary]

Right.

Conclude it, and never touch it again.
Shove it into the Med'an corner if need be, just don't gods be damned touch it.

[Izalla]

Ye, the Cinematics are most likely just Old Soldier and Lost Honor.

Just slightly shorter because of the lack of Blizzard logo intro.

That doesn't make much sense given that Old Solider is 20 seconds shorter WITH the logos...

Edit: wait now I'm confused.

[Hyrja]

If the cinematics are already out, why would they encrypt them?

[Kiki b]

While the run times are similar but not exact, also pointed out on wowhead is that if you remove all of the blizzard/bfa logo stuff, old soldier is around 5:51 and lost honor is 2:58 or so.


They could be totally new, they could be the old ones. Although it would be weird to not include safe haven if it’s a tribute to saurfangs story type deal.

[Sondrelk]

WoWhead did make the fair point considering the cinematics that there are only 2, while there were 3 Saurfang cinematics. Obvisouly, most likely one of them is simply not important enough to add ingame, or the last one being added later. But still, let's not give up hope ust yet.

[Blayze]

I'm guessing the 'end of the War Campaign' is just when we get told "We must unite to stop Sylvanas!"

[Syegfryed]

Well then the entire faction war had zero purpose (as we already suspected).

it already had zero purposed before, i remember that everything that i did served for nothing since it was lost or the alliance get it in the end.

everything in the story is going for the cliche we expected or worse, is rly frustrating endure all the shit to get a even crap end.

[Izalla]

This cinematic isn't 6:42, it is 6:19. Basically exactly the same.

Wait where did the original length come from? The 6:40 one

[Slowpoke is a Gamer]

I'm guessing the 'end of the War Campaign' is just when we get told "We must unite to stop Sylvanas!"

Nah the end most likely means "Anduin and Warchief Saurfang make peace."

[Raetary]

I'm guessing the 'end of the War Campaign' is just when we get told "We must unite to stop Sylvanas!"

Exactly, and the quicker we get over with it the better.

[Marlamin]

Wait where did the original length come from? The 6:40 one

That was a rough estimate based on the file's size.

[Raetary]

Edit: wait now I'm confused.

There is no 6:40 cinematic.

The encrypted one is 6:18
Old soldier is 6:22
