    Funny, how the wowhead writers assume the exact opposite for what's going to happen than the majority of this thread...i.e. something big and surprising will happen, because a 6min cinematic can only mean story twists. Man, I hope this patch hits live servers soon.

    The war is ending in 8.2.5? Does this mean that the Shadowlands "leak" was bullshit then? Thank fuck.

    Yes, it means exactly that, thankfully.

    To be fair: the warcampaign ends. That doesn't automatically mean that the war will be over. Just the PC driven questlines around it.

    Sounds like they have some issues getting it to run properly.

    These are the same forums that complain about there being bnothing to do after defeating the last boss on NM and doing the accompanying questline, oblivious ot the multitides of alternative playstyles or rewards they could be pursuing instead.

    It says "conclusion". While there may be some things happening, the major storyline will be finished.

    Remember, just because the war campaign ends doesn't mean Stormwind doesn't get attacked by Helyavanaszoth

    War campaign ending most likely just means tht the Horde and Alliance stop fighting officially. The shadowlands leak could still be true (though god i hope not with that insane Sylvanas twist)
    It would just mean that when the hypothetical Stormwind raid comes out Sylvanas is not in any way affiliated with teh Horde, meaning it would be a bit odd to still count it among the Horde vs Alliance questlines.

    Yeah. I'm not seeing how you can "conclude" the war campaign and then have Sylvanas attack Stormwind and Thunder Bluff next patch..

    Thrilling conclusion to the war campaign. There's the encryption, though they should do as much as possible in terms of encrypting going forward. Though I don't think it'll amount to more than an hour of questing content.

    Makes sense because in 8.3, we have to unite against N'Zoth and we were going to at the end of TEP. As said in-game it's the real Battle for Azeroth after all.

    Why would they. Stormwind is just a city. Is there a hidden temple? Hidden titan facility? Not as far as I remember. Why would either N'zoth or Helya attack Stormwind?

    A proper storyline spaced out over, say, a month could be quite good for the longevity of the game, it means that players like me who have done basically everything they want ot in the game get to look forward to something other than the M+ cache that will probably not contain anything.
    Yeah Broken Shore's biggest problem was most of the weeks were useless filler (shoutouts to that week that was just one long Khadgar joke). In this case I could see it rolling out in 3 phases over 3 weeks. Maybe phase 1 is just the useless setup stuff, phase 2 is Stormwind, phase 3 is Orgrimmar.

    6:40 cinematic is hype btw.

    What are the longest cinematics made?

    So we learned two things:

    1. Encryption stuff is indeed connected to patch content, not only virtual ticket/pre-order stuff. It probably means that days when we learned story on PTR are over.

    2. Another sign that 8.3 will be pure N'zoth patch, since we conclude War Campaign on this one.

    If she's a third party actor at that point I could maybe see it.

    But there's been -1 buildup of Sylvanas going third party rogue this expansion. All the evidence says she's surviving to 9.0, but losing her role as Warchief and Forsaken Leader.

    Which, by the way, busts Shadowlands.
