So Sylvanas flies off to nowhere and the King of the Alliance just walked into Orgrimmar. Yeah I'd say the war is over. How convenient!This really was well done, but I don't know, feels almost sudden? Rushed? I guess it's not but it seems that way.Also, how is this not MoP/Garrosh 2.0? Morally gray burning of Teldrassil no longer morally gray I guess? sigh. So much potential.
The Forsaken were doing the Unsullied stick tap thing. They sure have taken a lot of inspiration from GoT lately.
10/10 I loved it :D
So, i am one of those people who was conflicted in this entire time. One hand, i got Saurfang. Not a clean dude but someone a horde should follow. On the other hand, we had Sylvanas. The only "dark" leader we have seen in the game. And i am saying "dark", not villain. I never said whatever Sylvanas doing is "heroic". Obviously this war was BS, it was forcefully put upon us. But like Baine and Saurfang, I get along because this is what our "Warchief" wanted. Almost entire horde was cheering when we went to attack teldrassil. But many was shaken when we burned it to the ground. Still, every single horde leaders came to defend their Warchief. Even Saurfang made a way for Sylvanas to retreat at the cost of his own life. Sylvanas still have her supporters. Baine was mad still he was supporting her. Her support among the horde was still strong, until she arrested Baine. And lets not forget, Baine too was supporting her but he had enough when Sylvanas decided to use Derek as a weapon against Proudmoores. Even after everything, Lorthemar and Thalyssra went to "unknown" with Nathanos because their Warchief wanted this. This is what happened with the fanbase. They supported their Warchief. Now obviously there's some people who defended Sylvanas as a whole. I am not siding with them. I chose to support Sylvanas, because she's the warchief of the horde and she wanted to destroy the alliance (our enemy). Maybe i am a warmonger but i couldnt stand with those alliance. That's my personal choice. And it was also a choice of the leaders of the horde. Most of them have grudges over the Alliances. Baine have almost none that's why he was the first to go against her. But most of the leaders left Sylvanas when she tried to "kill" Baine. And we know she let us free Baine, which means she could have killed him or us but she didnt. Why? She even had couple of chances to kill Anduin in Lordaeron, but she didnt. She even could have launched the war against the rebels but she simply left the battlefield after that Mak'gora. Now dont tell me she was afraid, she's never afraid. And NEVER gonna be afraid after what kind of her newfound power she demonstrated us. Obviously something empowered her. She could have win this battle, but she just left. Why?The answer is: She wanted this war to happen. Now you could say she betrayed us. Nope, she got betrayed. She included EVERY horde leaders in her plan, but they didnt saw them normal or morally acceptable and they left. Even the Forsaken didnt liked her idea of "the horde is nothing". Can you imagine that? Most of you always called them traitors, but you can clearly see they too believes in the horde. But what about Sylvanas? Those who supported her (by siding her in the quest) still have her favor. She didnt betrayed them. She's even glad to see her true followers. And we saw plenty of banshees out there. So what's really happening? What she's really up to? We'll see.Now about the taunts we'll get from anti-Sylvanas, alliance players: "Told ya, you're supporting the wrong side, villain bla bla". Well, as i've mentioned earlier, most of the players supported their warchief. And why not? Why you're asking us to think from you POV, why dont you guys see from our POV? We just hate the alliance and for the first time in the history of alliance players and character, Anduin admitted that they are not saints. So why would i betray my warchief? Nope, i got no reason. But that doesnt mean i am saying "hurr durr Sylvanas is angel". Nope she aint, and now since she abandoned the horde, we're practically hopeless. Our only hope relies in an extremely mad idea "nothing lasts". Wait i am not going to embrace the death. Or what she's up to. But clearly, this is not a time to make a comment. There's much to tell. But i am not going to say Sylvanas is going to get a redemption arc like illidan. He was crazy like her, but atleast he didnt said "you all are nothing". He never kept secrets to his followers, the demon hunters knew they are expendable when they enlisted. But Sylvanas is relying us to die so SOMETHING could make her even strong. Now I like the idea of enslaving N'Zoth, but that doesnt mean i am going against my horde. If the faction dissolves, I'll call myself "The horde". I mean, i've spent more than half of my life in this game, pretending to be a horde.And i am going to say this again. Sylvanas aint saint nor whatever is she's doing is morally acceptable or simply acceptable. If she wants us to fight against the Black Empire, then fine its ok. But she alienated herself from us. If she really knows what's coming then why dont you just tell us? EVERY horde leaders stood by her side, if they knew what she knows then obviously they would stand with her. This is just not accepted to kill everyone and feed them to the hungering darkness. I know there's still much to play, but i am gonna admit at this point. This storyline is really bull$%^&. Atleast at this time. Now lets see what the final patch and raid is going to be.
so do we pick and choose who we res now or....? BFA did have some great cinematics. 3 in one day? yes plz! though having sylvanis throw a fit and then vanish was rather anti climatic. Classic anyone?
So happy that Saurfang is going to get a proper and respectful burial like a hero. Unlike the Night Elves, who were slaughtered under his orders, burned alive, and forced to serve the Lich Queen in death.
Oh wow that makes no sense.Terrible writing... RIP WoW Lore.
At least Saurfang got one good hit on Sylvanas...
Removed
And I'm now not only did they completely retcon sylvanas into stupid bull^&*! they one shot my favorite living lore hero into the 95% of the horde heroes are dead pile
Thank you Saurfang!But our War Chief is in another castle!
"Let it be finished"Saurfang Jr's last words :*(
