I see people talking about Kel'thuzad a lot, and I'm wondering... did I miss a quest?Do Horde ever find out what's going on in Kul Tiras? (Oct 2018)
"Your Stormsong Outpost now has wolves" Yay. Fun. But that still doesn't explain why that homestead over that hill is being attacked by Horde demolishers. It seems kind of important.
He's back? He's doing important story-related stuff? Where does the game tell me this?
I also see Kael'thas in a whole lot of coversations. Again, did I miss something? I fully explored all the zones and did all the main story quests and all the side quests I discovered on the way, yet I have never seen either.
I chose Kyrian, and I got the quests to go in and do the two dungeons in Bastion. Same thing with with Revendreth & Maldraxxus; do the quests and evenetually you're sent into the two dungeons. The only dungeon I haven't done is De Other Side, because the game hasn't told me to yet and I don't want to queue and run a dungeon I have no idea about or who the bosses are or why I'm even there. I'm more of an RPG player than a CoD player; I play for the story, not the queue.
But now everyone's talking about Kel'thuzad and Kael'thas and I'm wondering if this is BFA all over again. Was I just expected to level and play four alts to find out what's going on?
My 2018 post above went into detail about how there weren't any all-new Horde-only/Alliance-only zones until WoD, and how annoying it is to have essential story plot points blocked from the player. Horde had no idea what was going on in Kul Tiras, with some town being bombarded by Horde troops and wicker things all over Drust'Var and why we can use the friendly flightmaster in the pirate town when every NPC is hostile. All while Alliance were asking Who the Hell is G'huun but were told to just shut up and queue. The game simply expected you to play alts on both sides.
Is it happening again?
Kel'thuzad doing stuff here, Kael'thas doing stuff there... and apparantly Bwonsamdi is featured in De Other Side dungeon. Okay? Were all three standing around in their respective zones somewhere and I just rode past them while looking at my map? Or are they covenant-specific storylines and three-fourths of the playerbase are supposed to just accept that they have no idea what the Hell is going on? Again.
In BfA, they blocked the story to half the player base. Have they gone even further this time and blocked the story to THREE QUARTERS of players? Instead of being forced to play two characters (H/A) to know what the Hell is going on, do I now have to play FOUR?
