I think it’s more of a “pause”. When blizz will need another war they know whom they gonna call. Or another war criminal.
And what I am saying is that it is not a “bad/lazy writing”. It is in the very nature of what “Horde” is. No matter what kind - True, Dark, Iron, New. It will do what it suppose to do - rally conquest after conquest until it will be stopped. I am not an Alliance fan boy either, believe me. But it exists only as reaction to the Horde. Since WC1 actually.
To be fair, at least it’s not even presented as a fight. Tyrande demolishes him in about three seconds.
This is how it should have happened to begin with. The power of the Night Warrios completely annihilates Nathanos, but other plans have been made in the background that render a pure power upgrade irrelevant.
Tyrande manage to defeat one of the favorite Sylvanas Loyal Fans character just in a couple of seconds. And when this dog was standing on his kneels and was trying to troll, with total poker face Tyrande have cut his speech off.
Yes, Nathanos will go to the Maw, and yes, this victory is useless. But this moment have shoved that Nathanos trolling does not works on Tyrande. Nathanos was shown just like a weak fool, that likes joking, and joking was the only thing that he could do. While Tyrande finally was shown as badass Night Elf she was.
So, for a story, this victory is useless. But for the players, that moment of satisfaction gives a lot.
And just for info:
This is the first time ever in WoW history when Blizzard made a cutscene with Alliance victory.
This is a first time in WoW history when 1 leader kills another leader from second faction.
This is for a second time in WoW history when someone lose his head in cutscene, and in both such cutscenes it was Tyrande who cut her enemies heads off.
I rather think that it’s just a very vocal minority of their player base.
Still, it’s reaching some baffling levels for certain people.
Reading some of the comments, one would say either Sylvanas or Nathanos have jumped out of the screen and murdered some peoples dog or something.
The fixation certain players have with these fictional characters is bordering on obsessive. Wonder if they’ve stopped to consider they are fictional.
Cannot say for player base, but Horde shouldn’t have been left to exist after War campaign. But oh well… logic never wins.
This is Story forum where people discuss and share opinions about past, current and future of Warcraft story. If I was to come to any other section of forums, that would be inappropriate.
Now you, getting personal and calling someone obsessive - that’s inappropriate.
This game would be better off without night elves. All you people do on a daily are complaining and trying to get the Horde deletd. You are entitled whiners.
