    Yes. That's our cop out to all this crazy writing.

    Warcraft, Game of Thrones and Star Wars are all cut from the same cloth. Wouldn't surprise me if Danuser, D&D and Rian Johnson were in constant communication trying to one up each other on subverted expectations.

    I’m starting to wonder how many or if any of the Slyvanas loyalist are actually Twilight Hammer loyalist. Same way twilight hammer inflitrated the church of light in stormwind.

    Rian Johnson got axed because of the crappy mess he made in the Last Jedi. This is unrelated to this thread also. I am with you and want to see how they kill the other epic fantasy I used to like in Star Wars.

    That's what I was thinking too. It'd be really disappointing if we never get to see Doomplate again, no matter who they have wear it. It's just that cool.

    I doubt that considering he smiled and walked towards the anvil hiding the axe. Thrall might have needed more prodding and shaming, but turning Saurfang down in his time of need seems unlikely. Narratively speaking the attack happened to speek his decision along.

    Urm, no, its outland nagrand, notice the floating islands, and fact that varok draws attention to the fact the crops don't grow well, dying land.

    Most of the Horde is loyal to Sylvanas, Sylvanas Loyalist is more a term for players who don't want to do the Rebellion again or don't care enough about "muh honor" to turn on her(until they make us)

    Ohh, I see! That makes it even cooler IMO since MU Nagrand is my favorite zone, I wonder if they'll revamp or add big new things to old Nagrand in-game?

Soon the Horde will be freed of all toxic masculinity and stand hand in hand with Anduin.

    Do a cinematic, where you have random assassins attack thrall, right as he's like "nah fam, I'm staying here" to get him to return... This is forced bullshit, and you know it is.

    But then again, iirc you were so excited for the last rebellion back in MoP that this might actually be enjoyable content for you...

    I am also surprised Thrall's kid wasn't there. Sylvanas trying to kill Thrall, WHO'S ON ANOTHER FREAKING WORLD FARMING, in front of his wife and kid would have been much more powerful, at least as cinematic's purpose goes.
    Yeah, they really missed a chance for the pathos of having zombies in Horde uniforms going for Thrall's kids, even just the door to imply it and then Thrall bashing them over the head. Or ending it with Thrall and Saurfang heading out on the run rather than just assuming (rightly) that Sylvanas thought two guys who despite being invisible were easily spotted by an old man were all it took.
    @Jastall

    The purpose of the assassins is just as a preemptive "Greedo shot first". I wouldn't be surprised if the line was added in later than the rest of the thing since it makes zero sense.
    Dickmann's Law: As a discussion on the Lore forums becomes longer, the probability of the topic derailing to become about Sylvanas approaches 1.

    Tinkers will be the next Class confirmed.

    2. The assassins fail and Thrall gets irritated and decide to join against her, as it happened in the video.

    Either way it is lose-lose situation for her. Just extremely poor writing overall. Sylvanas isnt stupid. Saurfang reaching out to Thrall for help was kinda obvious. Something Sylvanas should also have anticipated and sent an emissary to Thrall beforehand to counter it.


    My 2 c to Wow writers -- Write your own Game of Thrones and dont turn WoW into one. The Sylvanas of Warcraft III would never have done this.
    I think this tack makes a degree of sense for Sylvanas, myself. She knows there is a proto-insurrection in the making due to Baine and Saurfang's actions, and she knows Thrall and Saurfang share a pretty deep bond. Thrall would be a likely person for Saurfang to run to, and if properly utilized Thrall could be easily utilized to create a true coalition against her regime. Proactively moving to remove that threat and leaving Saurfang no ground to go makes a lot of tactical sense, and she would also know that Thrall's powers are compromised (as per what we saw in Legion) - making an assassination viable.

    I would doubt an emissary from Sylvanas would be well-received by Thrall, they've never been great friends after all - it is more likely they would be dismissed out of hand or, worse, make Thrall curious as to why they were actually sent.

    So many people outraged and confused about the Rogues. What is there to be confused about?

    It's been one of my favorites aswell, but I'm not sure if they would do any revamping to it to be honest. If they were to, I think they would have made that the playable Mag'har's new home, but it seems that it's just a broken place that's going to continue to fall apart over time.


    But I would like them to reuse it at some point
