Patch 11.2.7 Cinematic - Spoilers

[Lahis]

I find it funny that Xal needs a random ethereal to power up her Dark Heart
"Damn, it's not at full power, I am 0.000001% short! Oh, this fool will do the trick!"

Yeah there was no point in that. After all the stuff put into the Dark Heart, one famished ethereal hardly affects the scales. Congratulations, you just poured a cup of water into the ocean.

Only reason he was there was to give Alleria a quick portal to Voidstorm.

I'm also tired of Alleria and her headaches attacks. She should have found a solution after an entire patch of her having headaches.

If I could upvote this comment I would lol.

All this power she took, only for her to build a purple sandcastle. Appeanrtly needs a void lord to be able to do that! Hats off.

Is it just me or does it feel like the story hasn't moved on from monologuing villains holding the dark heart since 10.0.7?

Now now, migraines can be terrible and are very hard to treat even with modenr medicine.

But now there is progress! Now they'll monologue WITHOUT holding the Dark Heart!

At this point, it has the same energy as the Night Warrior powers of Tyrande in Shadowlands, where she's just about to kill Sylvannas and Elune goes "Noooooope, no power for you because... well, the writers said I need Sylvannas to live longer even if it contradicts why you're supposed to have this power in the first place." It's lazy to keep it going forever if it's never addressed or fixed in a realistic fashion. I would not be surprised if it Alleria just suddenly overcomes the headaches with by 'sheer willpower' with no lead-up at some plot point.

Also, am I the only one who found it kinda funny that Alleria's footsteps while 'sneaking around' were so loud? Sure, the camera's up close and you can expect some noise amplification, but at least pretend you're trying to be stealthy and make it super quiet.

But yeah, what little is shown here feels pretty damn forced and contrived to get the outcome. The overly cartoonish motivations, setups, and reactions get old fast if it's not done in jest... heck, even in jest you don't want to overplay it.

Or, hear me out, we stop putting her on point when she can't get close to Xal without getting instant CC'd.
This is not who you'd send after it happened once, nevertheless 8 times.

I'm starting to believe she likes it. Because why would she chase that woman that cause her headaches/migraines?. Maybe is Xal feets?. Idk...

[Narwhalosh Whalescream]

That looks very much like the arena for a boss in elden ring nightreign.

[Puri]

Wow this really got me hyped and excited for things. Because clearly something happened, which is probably having consequences for someone.

[Aleksej89]

i dont even play retail and im tired of seeing aleria and purple-aleria.

its like someone at blizzard got forbidden from focusing on sylvanas so they shifted over to focusing on aleria and her evil purple clone - all of them utterly expressionless and emotionless.

Aleria sounded so powerful and energetic and amazing in warcraft 2 and now she is so... opposite.

[Holdodlig]

Boring cinematic.

[Capultro]

sylvanas is a bard now.good.next hero class bard

[meroes]

That joker face ain't it chief

[trihedron]

I haven't played for a long time, i'm excited to play again!

Khadgar rubbed off on her while he was stuck in the Dark Heart.

[Amnaught]

Sincerely bummed that the void's aesthetic has been so completely washed out.

The horror, the deep echoey drums and blackened weirdness. Now just super-elf.

I was really expecting the Dark Heart to end up more like this:

[Ithekro]

I am starting to think these "headache-like" attacks are from the Naaru Alleria has inside her, stopping her from acting.
