Sylvanas Windrunner Raid Boss: The Big Elephant in the Room

[TigTone]

I got into WoW because of Sylvanas (and badass but very VERY misleading cinematic trailers). The game is pretty fun but I don't care for it enough to justify paying for it after she eats the dust. I already stopped playing in december. Sylvanas' demise will be the final nail in the coffin of my interest in WoW.

You should have started with that.
Sorry for your loss.

But knowing Blizz she won’t “die” but instead be imprisoned to face her biggest fear; no free will.

The player is in lore. Wtf you talking about.

The small armys (raids) that have killed villains are the players.

No, there's no singular "Player" in lore. Just nameless armies. Player character has absolutely no influence over anything.

You should have started with that.
Sorry for your loss.

Aw thanks man

Sylvanas is the final boss of 9.1

Source on this? MMO-champ forum have been saying she will be final boss for alot of tiers now.

[Raetary]

Is there even a point at killing Sylvanas in the realm of the... dead?

If they kill her soul, she dies for good.

[Vakna]

No one. If they wanted to kill her off it would be near the end of expansion, not the beginning.

Not necessarily true, Garrosh got the same treatment in WoD.

The recent PR release says that "the Banshee Queen herself" is a boss in the new 9.1 Torghast raid. That's almost certainly Sylvanas. Nothing says that it's the last boss, but given her lore clout, it's reasonable to assume she'll either be the ultimate or penultimate boss.

[Biomega]

I mean, it's a bit weird to speculate on something we basically know isn't going to happen.

She's not going to die in that fight, so who "kills her" is pointless.

[Dziubla]

Imagine thinking they're going to kill off a female character. I mean, how naive can you be.

[Yarathir]

I mean like, how have not people clicked on they're writing a redemption arc for her after how long the expansion's been out already

Her sister could die though but that's another thing.

probably too high standards for blizzard writing/disbelief that the writers are such utter hacks/so attached to their hot topic goth elf waifu

[Newname1234567890]

I vote for kill herself to deprive us (and accompanying lore characters) the kill. It's very in character for her to been a cunt until the final moment.

I want so much for her to try and have a redemption only to be killed while trying to be like "no you misunderstood my actions"

[javierdsv]

You guys are yet to realize Sylvanas is still alive? (As alive as any other undead)

If we kill her, her soul will just respawn in the Shadowlands again. And as long as the arbiter is non functional she will go back to the Maw.

We would have to kill her twice. But she will just probably die and be sent to Revendreth to attone for her sins. And then Sylvanas, Kael'thas, and Garrosh will help us defeat Anduin and the Jailer.

Check the front page.

[mizeri]

she becomes the new jailer

[TheRevenantHero]

It better not fucking be Tyrande. She's a disaster of a character now and I hope the energy of the Night Warrior fucking kills her before we get close to Sylvanas.

[Minikin]

So... *rubs tip of blade*
Sylvanas is the final boss of 9.1. There's one big question everyone seems to be ignoring if this does happen...

Who's going to land the killing blow if she does die and how does WoW go on with their 2nd most famous and most iconic female character gone?

whos the first?

[Demsi]

hopefully she trips over a banana peel like the clown she is

[Broken Fox]

No one cares about Tyrande's vengeance less than Blizzard writers

It'll be some self sacrifice/Kerrigan shit like people have been speculating for years

[vian]

She doesn't die, we spare her.
Anduin new baddie bla bla bla, he's spared too.
Jailer is spared to in 9.yourface not to upset the equilibrium.

I could be a WoW story-writer.

[Restors]

Check the front page.

Checked the front page several times, hence why I asked about source... "But the Banished One has a terrible new champion in his service—a cruel instrument of despair conscripted by Sylvanas Windrunner, capable of instilling dread into the hearts of Azeroth’s heroes like no creature of the Shadowlands."

Says nothing that its Sylvanas herself is going to be a raid boss, but "conscripted by Sylvanas".

[Traveler Voltin]

i dont expect her to die but whatever.

grats to alliance for getting what you always wanted.
