I mean a large percentile of people aren't even clued into this narrative in the first place at this point in time.
I no longer reply to quotations beyond if you're asking a genuine question or have a non-confrontational stance.
And it is still a step up from the Vault. "Man, if we stop Rash then entire Primalists/Incarnates threat will disappear. I reeeealy hope she wont free her siblings, else this entire conflict will go on". Aberrus and Zalarek actually gave us some backstory on Black Dragnoflight, that they were doing fucked up experiments even pre-corruption. But yes, the cinematic was disappointing, and makes me think that 10.1.5 and Fyrrak will bring a proper resolution.

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.
Seemed like a really neat bow to the Void corruption narrative to me.
Sarkareth loses his grip on reality as the Void forces that destroyed Neltharion convinces him to give up everything for a lost cause
Yes it was definitely not as high quality as it maybe should have been, but I sont really see how the cutscenes could have realistically done more, unless you just want tentacles showing up, or giant eyeballs for padding.
The world revamp dream will never die!
Ladies and gents we got red eyes in the floor in that cinematic
Let's go old gods
I'm thinking double aspects with two brothers
Emberthal might end up the red aspect after Alex dies fighting galakrond

So when Xal is revealed as the 5th in next patch when we fight the Naga will that still be just void or can we get ppl to just accept it
Old Gods are creations of the Void so they are connected. deal with it. I mean I'm surprised by the cutscene to but thinking about it wasn't guarented to go what we thought it would be "Void shennigans"

Okay, but that Sarkareth void model? Would instantly play a dracthyr if they would look like that :O

I mean, i guess lore-wise it makes sense that the entire patch and now the ending was so boring - it was just a big distraction fron Iridikron from the start. He literally said so himself in the patch cinematic.
But giving a story-reason why it was boring and wen nowhere doesnt change the fact that is was boring and went nowhere. "Duhhh it makes sense, its a distraction" yeah but its still boring and a waste of an entire patch's story.
The crooked shitposter with no eyes is watching from the endless thread.
From the space that is everywhere and nowhere, the crooked shitposter feasts on memes.
He has no eyes to see, but he dreams of infinite memeing and trolling.
Any news on the "encrypted" blue dragonflight questline?
Aside from Zskarn which stumped us for an hour, our PUG easily cleared everything up to Neltharion before we got walled for 2 hours and disbanded. Tanks were having difficulty surviving the tank swap (instant 600k autoattack damage received upon taunting him) and people kept standing in front of the destructible walls, so when the knockbacks happened we took too much damage. Made it to portal phase. Only him and the final boss left so I might beat the patch tonight.
The only thing we know about the 5th currently is that it exists and has been wiped from all in universe lore except one book. Even chronicles and the map of the black empire doesn't mention it so while we can either say blizz forgot or it's a 200d chess move the fact remains it has to be out there somehow
Honestly that's why his death worked for me narratively TBH. Being cut the moment he actually get his head back in the game and is ready to fix things is some tragic irony, specially when he dies believing he has cursed his daughter to a crueler fate. It's a gut punch that takes advantage of his flaws, and how he tried to overcome them but failed.
Alliance side, IDK, their whole involvement with the war feels like it was losing gas the moment it started and all their reasons to go to war were just forgotten about because the narrative needed them to see it was All Sylvanas Fault Actually. Big meh.
Sure, all plausible on a best case scenario. I just don't think we would have seen any of that given how BfA went about. I really think it would just feel like it does now, with Rastakhan just being alive. Same for Talanji, she could still be learning things now if the story used her.
Or at least put some effort in why these characters can't use their full power or have the enemies work around that. As it is now its just them being able to stop armies when it's needed, but otherwise they aren't really accounted for. It's weird.And honestly OP characters were always a problem to properly balance faction dynamics. One Alliance character is perfectly capable of stopping entire army. As we saw with Malfurion and Jaina. And I am one of the people that is in favor of nerfing everyone, so armies, tactics and other factors actually matters.
Have to disagree solely on the principle that Jaina's Kul Tiras arc was actually pretty good and fixed the mess her character had become. Fixing her after such an egregious turn and then killing her would have felt like a waste. She would have needed a whole different arc in Kul Tiras to make that work, which I do think could have worked.Jaina was quite a mess for a long time, so she following the steps of her father and dying trying to invade other nation would be a good place to finally drop her for good since her character was turned to such a mess in the first place.
I think that while the plot makes them intersect, their arcs are not defined by the other. Anyone could have killed Rastakhan, Zuldazar was just the conflict that solidified the pointlesness of the war for both sides.
Jaina's arc in BfA was about letting go of the hatreds that she was holding on to, Zuldazar just another realization of how the war was pointless. Killing her in Zandalar wouldn't have been much of a catharsis or fitting end for such a long standing character, so I think that was always kind of out of the question.
If Avaloren turns out to be an expansion zone in DF instead of a full expac continent, we could absolutely find the last Old God there.
Interestingly, presuming that 10.2 and 10.3 have zones, what do we expect those zones to be? 10.2 could be an Emerald Dream themed zone. But what do people expect from 10.3? I doubt the Murozond plot is going to happen that late given it was mentioned so soon and that it is problematic for the narrative since we need Tyr back earlier. I will ofc always push for some upgraded/revamped zone elsewhere; Dragonblight or even Storm Peaks and bringing in Odyn can very much work (and both are sizeable zones).
Also, Forbidden Reach was kind of a free zone for Blizzard; they had to make a starting zone for the Dracthyr and for once they did not waste it and reused it (compared to brilliant zones in the past like Gilneas, Kezan, Wandering Isle or even Mardum that were barely used if used at all). Does anyone think we might get more zones like that? We could even get some small underground zone adjacent to Zaralek. Heck if we did end up going to Northrend, an additional underground area to the west of Zaralek could have tunnels that open in Northrend.
