[Well Done Steak]

I think the tree will bloom in 2.5

The aspects get their powers today.

There is a 26 second prerendered cutscene that plays, probably part of a larger cutscene that is also partially in-game, idk when it plays exactly but probably raid clear and/or final quest deliver.

Oh no. Ny'alotha flashbacks

Pretty nice.

They moved M+ into the Temporal conflux.

So, finally M+ has actual lore, right?

Cannot possibly equal N'zoth cinematic in level of disappointment or Archimonde cinematic in how how red the imprint from the facepalm was.

I commend your bravery in tempting fate like this.

26 seconds . . . oh god, fate will as always betray me.

[Valysar]

26sec is very short, it's scary but we console ourselves knowing that it's prerendered

[Reive]

"A dragonkind divided will not survive what is to come"

this is the new cinematic

Then Chromatus comes and eats everyone so that dragonkind can no longer be divided?

they should have resurrected galakrond and have him eat every single depressed dragon

It always did. Now it's just more obvious.

Odyn with the HEUGHHH TikTok meme into Vyranoth just walking up to his seat of power and snapping her fingers to turn him into a popsicle is a really good start for todays festivities.

(Yes, we get it. Raszageth said one line and that means Incarnates are stronger than the Prime Designate of Azeroth. Don't worry, we get the cope.)

Fyrakk getting assblasted by the power of friendship/Elune was always the endgame here, people. This is not a twisty expansion.

i know i'm going to get another dose of second hand embarassment today.

Okay? That doesn't make it okay when the 10.3 question exists and the Team has refused to answer it. Again, Steve promised an epic ending and well if that is what it is. That's disappointing.

Also you've repeated this several times and I don't think it works like a reinforcing spell to make people ignore the problems on display here.

[Raetary]

Don't expect much from the cinematic.

The payoff is gonna happen after the raid with the Aspects Blessings and then in the epilogue campaign in 10.2.5 when they shift Amirdrassil over.

All it takes is a few well-written quests to erase Shadowlands' cosmic lore. For example, maybe the Titans did offer their perspective in Chronicles. But ah, so did the Eternals in Shadowlands. In fact, the Light was the original force, clashing with the Void in the Twisting Nether. What then happened was that the organisation called the Brokers set out to manipulate and distort the truth, so as to diminish the role of the Light and elevate Life and Death instead. Death didn't have much of a mythos behind it, so like the medieval Britons invented the Arthurian legend, they too spun tales of their own. See, easy.

That could work; leaves the question of who ordered the Shadowlands, however. Would the First Ones still exist, albeit reduced to only an initial set of actors in the Shadowlands elevated in Broker mythology? Still like it, reminds me a bit of Elder Scrolls lore with the addition of subjective mythology over factual cosmology.

A while back, I also came up with an alternative cosmology I think is pretty decent here.

Why do I find the IG cinematics worse than before in terms of visual quality ?

[lanerios]

This thread is intolerable when it gets mired in relitigating terrible past lore.

still better than "trust me bro! Tinker is for real next, as is Undermine!!!"

[Xilurm]

Is this from tomorrow?
