    What the fuck are you talking about?
    Nobody cares what's happening there. It seems to be compeltely irrelevant. The Covenants are fighting each other while the Jailer is going on, how much of a threat can he be? Or are the Covenants just completely idiotic?

    That Blizzard says it matters for everybody doesn't mean you feel that. And you basically feel nothing in that regard. The threat isn't real.

    I agree, no matter how big the Janitor's explosions are or how high his "OMG BOUNDLESS LETS GOOOO!!!!" power level is, the Janitor will never feel threatening. He's pretty much a filler villain like the Iron Horde.

    In fact right now 99% of the people don't care about the Jailer, they care about Sylvanas' fate. Let's be real.

    And yet he's seen, quite literally in the intro experience of Shadowlands, being outside of Torghast throwing Baine off a cliff and taunting the players at the waystone.



    If you are going to troll everybody with snarkiness and disingenuous responses, try to at least pretend to have some semblance of honesty behind it.

    This comes off as a byproduct of not everything happening being optimally represented in-game. A long the same lines in 'Legion' where the story was the entire planet was being invaded by the Burning Legion ("largest Legion invasion ever") yet all we saw was it happening on the Broken Isles.

    What? He was only present in the revised questing of old content and towards the very end in the endtime dungeons. Before that he was completely absent for max level characters and all the actual plot was driven by rando twilight hammer rubes that somehow managed to outwit every faction. The only known capacities were cho'gall and nef. The firelands story was a complete sidetrack to deal with some nelf lore before we then did some time travel stuff to get rid of DW, who was never involved in any of the schemes during the expansion. In fact the twilight hammer used him like a rabid dog and as we've learned his ultimate purpose was to end up impaled on top of wyrmrest temple.
    You are welcome, Metzen. I hope you won't fuck up my underground expansion idea.

    Why would they move things along when their tokenfarming scheme is going so well in the current meta? It's low cost high reward.

    So, we now know why the Jailer got imprisoned...

    He saw the Sigils as keys for the Sepulcher and tried to take them.

    That’s...shit we already knew. So, the Jailer’s a douchebag. Got it.

    - - - Updated - - -

    Judging by what we know...

    The new raid is supposedly gonna end with The Heroes Vs Sylvanas and the Eternal Ones with their new Sigils Vs the Jailer and the old Sigils

    Even with the new sigils and the Primus backing us up, I don’t think it’ll be enough.

    This is such a garbage non-answer... Expected nothing less from Blizzard. How about the writers tell me what he wanted the sigils for, at the very least?
    No? I have to wait 3 months to find out? Okay.

  12. #2812
    So if the eternal ones were all given sigils for their covenants does that mean the jailer has one??

    Does the arbiter have his sigil??

    - - - Updated - - -

    Well we finally get sylvanas testing
    We get multiple mythic bosses
    The third wing

    Mid June release seems more likely

    Are those sigils really that special when they can nearly instantly be remade?

    Yeah, that's pretty pathetic honestly. I thought the sigils would act as one of a kind artifacts each Eternal One held in order to keep the Jailer in the Maw and unlock the Sepulcher.

    Man, one of the worst takes in this thread so far.

    .
    Erm, they did.

    The sigils open the way to the Sepulcher.
    He wants them to get there so he can juice up on whatever power that place has.

    We don't need to know everything, but we need to know more than we do. This is the first major content patch, we are in theory halfway through the expansion and we still don't know much of anthing interesting about the Jailer.

    The Jailer as it stands is just a generic villain who just stands there doing nothing of interest. He doesnt have an interesting personality, he doesnt have an interesting backstory, he doesnt do anything particularly interesting in the game. His only interesting points are that he is a focal point for more interesting characters to gather around, people like Sylvanas or Helya.

    Guess they're as special as the Jailer aka not special at all.

    If you can reforge something so easily and effortlessly, what even was the initial purpose?

    This. They try to paint him super powerful, mysterious and intriguing by making him the centerpiece of so many previous lore-tie-ins (Lich King stuff for example) yet they fail to make him leave any impression. It's beyond me how they came up with such a bland and ultra-boring villain.

    You can say it's not that cool. Hell, I agree. But to say it isn't big lore-wise or to say it's not about the Jailer is kinda dumb, no offense or anything like that.

    - - - Updated - - -
    What do you mean? We only heard of him like this expansion. He doesnt have alot of built up and he is realy hollow. So its hard to care for him or finding him cool when there is nothing realy to dig. 9.1 like i said offers some story, but its realy not much. Thinking otherwise makes you delussional, I get that he is supposed to be this big character, but Its hard to view him that way. Hes.. just there.

    Its okey to like him.. but dont force people to like him I guess.

    I mean you kinda think the joke was real looking at your response.

    It started there.. remember the person who compiled the pictures together making the guy seem like he had a hard on for sylvanss and nathanos. From there came the whole thing. I dont care for danuser, but its its not realy true.

    Or why didn't they keep spare keys somewhere hidden? Honestly as I log into FFXIV I sigh and feel sorry for those who exclusively play WoW. Waiting months for THIS?
