That trailer was sure interesting. I think maybe the Kyrians, all of them, missed the whole point... that 'power' that is not supposed to exist anywhere except for the Maw was what wounded Uther's soul. They got told it does and chose to simply completely ignore it. Maybe the Arbiter sent Uther to Bastion exactly for them to see this, because you are not supposed to simply 'forget' your past, you are supposed to shine light on it, work through it and then shed it, once you are ready. This process in their holy 'Purpose' should have made them aware and prepared them, but they chose not to act on it, investigate or anything. They failed the Purpose. They could have seen the threat for the Shadowlands coming then and there, but they were too hung up on words and the 'outrage' of one of their own questioning what was going on. And Uther stumbled right into it all, without being his real true self, not having worked through anything, but only being told to 'forget'.
Also, I think Bridenbrad was a special case, because he was taken to the afterlife directly, without going through the Arbiter or being taken there by the Kyrians, like Ysera.
My point is that it was implied that the Light's faithful go to some form of Light-aligned paradise when they die and this is supported by the Bridenbrad quest chain. It fits the previous established lore and it didn't stand out back then because it makes sense and draws on real life parallels that are often evoked when it comes to the Holy Light (the church of the Holy Light has always been heavily based on medieval catholicism in terms of imagery).
This obviously breaks continuity and for what? So that we can have an edgy Uther that can later get redeemed?
Do you have an argument for why this quest shouldn't matter?
I mean, why was his soul split into two parts then (one entering Frostmourne, the other one a golden spirit being pulled towards the sky)?
Just because the quest was a tribute doesn't mean it's non-canon. This isn't an argument. Still, it was stated in Maldraxxus that the Light invades the Shadowlands. Why would the Light send someone into an afterlife that gets invaded by the Light?

I think the main reason it took so long to get an actual date was that they weren't sure yet though. November window was screwed because of all the other big releases, but Corona crisis affected their timelines same as everyone else, and they needed to see if they could get everything done + tuning in time to release before November or not.
If they hadn't, it would've been a December release window.
It certainly fits into the overall feel that "Death is Broken, and it's more than just The Maw." Revendreth is pretty clear why it's broken, Bastion we now know has likely become so dogmatic in their "duty" that they completely forgot the point, we just need to know why Ardenweald is broken.
FFXIV - Maduin (Dynamis DC)
Sure, but who knows what that means to a race of sentient windchimes, if they actually even understand what happens to mortals after death, or if they were being honest. As far as we know they might have just vaporized him as a merciful death and considered that paradise because it's becoming one with the light.
True story. But now it also makes perfect sense why they would premiere their SL animated short series at Gamescom. Because they had more in store, and that was the thing we have being asking for.
Gotta say, typical blizz marketing yes. But if i could have predicted the future, then i would have gotten overhyped for tonight even more then.

Sometimes, the light of the moon is a key to other spaces. I've found a place where, for a night or two, the streets curve in unfamiliar ways. If I walk here, I might find insight, or I might be touched by madness.

Because that NPC came before? This is how continuity works.
Completely irrelevant. The quest obviously didn't stand out if you didn't know it was a hommage because it worked on the grounds of the lore at that time. It only does now because of their retcons.
No, you just are looking for a way to moan at Blizzard about a literal reference to someone who died IRL....who probably doesn't want to be used as internet fodder for a petty argument.Because that NPC came before? This is how continuity works.
"Light does not abandon its champions"Completely irrelevant. The quest obviously didn't stand out if you didn't know it was a hommage because it worked on the grounds of the lore at that time. It only does now because of their retcons.
If we're really going to use that line as some ground for lore I could rip it apart several times over but I don't since its a lot more nuanced then that.
