And so ends an expansion whos final villan was a menace, had lots of character/personality, did loads of important stuff and died pointlessly with no final screen time, what a complete joke. Even Scalecommander Sarkareth had his own cinematic and he was an unknown character.
I hope this is finally the end of the family friendly Disney storyline. I want WoW’s story to be more serious and mature again like how it was in TBC, Wrath or Cata.
…Yes I know this is rather ironic coming from a Vulpera using the onesie transmog.
I don’t mind the ending itself, but the fact that Alexstrasza suddenly decided that the only reason they won was the power of friendship was hilarious.
Ah well, Fyrakk wasn’t a terrible villain. I just think he was kinda generic.
And so ends an expansion whose actual villain was Iridikron who sent the one-dimensional powermonger Fyrakk off to do whatever he felt like because he knew he’d keep us busy for a time.
(Apologies to other one-dimensional powermongers, for comparing you to Fyrakk.)
Not out yet… anyways, Vyranoth and Iridikron are still around. What could they do with a one dimensional villain such as Fyrakk that they haven’t done better with Deathwing?
Do you know what would have been awesome? If Vyranoth betrayed us, destroyed the world tree, and killed Alexstraza in a single move.
I mean, she’s been locked in a prison for thousands of years, and once she gets out she wants to destroy the aspects, only to get slightly squeamish when Fyraak wants to destroy a tree. It makes zero sense, so her being secretly evil could have worked amazingly.
Instead we get the power of friendship ending. It’s not SL ending bad, but it’s still pretty lame.
