You mean like a mad Titan stabbing the planet with a flaming, huge ass sword?

You are describing Paul Atreides (from Dune) after he goes missing for many years in the desert, until he returns as an old, blind prophet-like figure.

Sykvabas doesn't go missing though, she would in this case be exiled in a place where noone expects her to return from. Not just because it is a deadply place that few can survive in, but because as far as we know, it's actually impossible.

Paul was unjustly cast out from his position and presumed dead only to return.
Sylvanas in this case be exiled. And indeed this would be her reward for helping in the end, with the other option being execution.

I don't know. To test something? This is a minor detail.

The runes were inscribed on Zovaal by the Primus after Zovaal's betrayal. The new Arbiter prototype be dump Pelagos into doesn't have any runes on it. The fact that the deactivated frame has the exact same runes and chest wound as Zovaal means it is his corpse.

[Sondrelk]

Jesus, Moses and the old testament prophets also were socially cast out. You are practically painting Sylvanas as a messiah character.

Old prophet characters were unjustly cast out. Sylvanas is exiled as a reward, the very slight step out from being summarily executed.

I don't think anyone but her most delusional fans would see her being removed from the storyin such a way that she is not given any title or influence as a positive.

Yes, it would mean she is likely to return, but it's also not a definite. Unlike with Illidan this doesn't place her in q position where she needs to return eventually. The story would be able to ignore her forever except as a black mark on Forsaken and Horde society.

Also are the new Kleia and Pelagos models at all structured like an Allied Race texture wise? Or are they too detailed?

Those are over detailed models for cutscenes.

I don't think corpse is quite the right term. Maybe more like frame or vessel. Which then leaves the question of what happens to the conciousness. Does it get extinguished? Bottled? We can probably rule it going free out. Guess we're gonna have to wait for the cinematic.

The conversation between the Primus and Bolvar after the fight makes me think that Zovaal is gone for good, but if we take the Titans into account: their spirits continued to exist after Sargeras wiped them out. So the possibility of Zovaal coming back is there, but I don't think so. The only one I see coming back at some point is Denny.

I don't think Zovaal is liked enough to be put in the "In case of emergency, break glass" -box many popular corpses have been put into.

Norgannon saved the titans souls with a spell thats why they are still around. Zovaals mastermind does not seem to have a plan in case anything goes wrong so theres a good chance hes gone.
Denathrius has been confirmed to return. Blizzard said that they didn't kill him off like it was planned in early stages so he can come back later because they liked the voice actor and character so much.

In this case he's gone. Thanks for the info.

My bet about the last in game cinematic will be Danauser in the meta verse marry Sylvanas AI like Fry did in Futurama with Lucy Liu

Sometimes an image is better than words.

Relax, it could be aimed at the Horde player.

Didn't Tyrande say some thing like that when Horde players found her in Thorghast? You might be on some thing there.

Somebody else pointed that out before me.

Guys, even the creator of the video admits it is made up...

What about "For the Dark Lady, always" don't you understand: There was still a substantial number of her followers who are still with her despite calling the Horde nothing.

So I'm guessing either Danuser ignores that because he loves ignoring poignant moments in the lore, or more likely that she becomes the allied race leader for the dark rangers (alliance undead night elves & horde forsaken elves)

im disagreeing with the other poster who was painting the idea of being socially outcast being a bad thing.

the person i quoted was specifically painting the idea of being socially cast out as bad tho. you are saying something else.

[Revamp Man]

So we know the m+ cutoff
Still don’t have the double leggos available for testing which in some cases will be broken AF
The story is….the same story we’ve had for a few years so I can’t really complain

Who’s ready for 9.2.5 with the fixes to a bunch of small issues that are going to be introduced in 9.2 and others that have existed since 9.0

[Aeluron Lightsong]

So god damn cynical

[Makabreska]

So god damn cynical

No, it's "realistic".

[Foreign Exchange Ztudent]

We still need Double Legendaries + Final Raid Testing done either this week or next week before a release date is likely to show up. Could show up this week or next week, but yeah.

Obviously the 9.2.5 thing mean that I don't think we're getting into 10.0 news anytime soon. But, it could also be that they will do 9.2.5 after the 10.0 reveal, hard to tell what is going on anymore.
