I loved the cinematic.
Blaine did what was right and Jaina understood that, not everyone on the Horde supports Sylvanas.
Not only that, but we got a explanation, of why none did anything so far.
Even Jaina understood, this will probably cost Baine dearly, maybe even his life.
Also there’s something I have been thinking lately:
The Horde may be most played side, for now, but that comes with a price.
The price is the faction identity.
When I started playing the Horde we had Thrall, Vol’Jin, Cairne and Sylvanas.
But those 3 were conviniently removed from the game and now we have Sylvanas as Warchief.
This isn’t the Horde anymore, it’s the Undead faction from Warcraft 3.
In my opinion: they tried to sell the “Modern Horde” as this cool faction, where monstrous races play alongside pretty races.
Sylvanas as a cool undead character, that uses “pragmatism” instead of “silly Honor”.
But than the narrative of " evil never wins" kicks in. After all this is a +12 game, we can’t teach kids bad things can’t we ?
When I see the Horde community, I don’t see a organic form, but rather a collective of different parts, made so this “huge” faction could be presented.
Some people like me play for the “Honourable Horde”, others because they like a warmongering faction, others because of Sylvanas, Forsaken and Blood Elfs, others because of Method and all the raiding/ PVP guilds that are on the Horde, because Horde racials are better.
My opinion, the obsession for faction balance will uterly destroy the Horde from inside.
If the majority of people like pretty races and Alliance fantasy settings, let them play what they want.
As a Horde player I am sick of seeing my faction identity butchered for the sake of balance and because one side needs to be lawful good and the other his “nemesis”.
People say they want this expansion to be over.
I was ready to buy a new expansion, since I saw the first cinematic: Battle of Lordaeron.
This is just my opinion.
Cheers.
